Gaulle's obstructionism -- perhaps presents itself in more acute form than ever, French intransigence over NATO, the French attitude towards mone- tary reform and her insistence upon the severance of close ties with the United States, loom as in- surmountable barriers to Britain's entry. Still to be reconciled as well are the interests of Commonwealth and ECM. The Commonwealth serves as a bridge between developed and under-developed nations but from Britain's point of view it long ago lost its old political cohesion and significance. The same can be said of it commercially, economically, as the structure of free trade or pref- erential trade has been eroded by successive rounds of tariff negotia- tions by member-nations of the GATT. For Commonwealth countries, of course, the idea that Britain might enter the ECM is something else ¢g War them ia nosed tha nroa. pect of having to sell bulk commod- ities, not in the free or low-tariff market of Britain, but in the "pro- tected" market of the European Economic Community, Not the least of Mr, Wilson's con- cerns as he goes "shopping" on the continent, is the impact that ECM membership would have upon British industry and agriculture. The former would have to become more efficient and competitive -- objectives of current British policy ~~ but both would have to accept the disciplines of the ECM rather than those of purely domestic dic- tate, Britain's lot, geographically and economically, is cast with Europe. As the London paper says, it re- mains for Mr. Wilson to dismantle the artificial political hurdles to ef- fect direct association. And that does constitute a weighty basketful of "ifs." Missing Carts Costly Supermarkets have their prob- lems quite apart from climbing costs and those of us who protest them. One of the causes of high costs in stores is the damage caused by shoppers in mishandling goods. Probably the largest leakage in @ supermarket budget is the bor- rowing of shopping carts.

They are found abandoned in such odd places as dumps, ravines, rivers or lakes. They are being cannibalized to make scooters and go-carts by children . . . yes, and by parents, too, Each single 'cart represents a loss of $65 to the store and, since stores are not run by benevolent in- stitutions, the cost of those carts finds its way to the individual groc- ery bill. As chain stores claim that their net profit averages 2 per cent, it takes $3,250 worth of sales to make up the loss of one cart, Some stores have to appoint guards to oversee carts, although they also may help carry purchases to the cars of the buyers, Alterna- tively, men patrol the parking lots to prevent carts from being remov- ed from the premises. Both prac- tices cost money and have to be ad- ded to the cost of doing business. Managers associate this form of pilfering with the larger and more populous areas where less shopping is done by auto and homes are with- in walking distance of _super- markets. In larger cities it is indeed a major problem complicated by the fact that those large companies do not like to prosecute the culprits because they fear it would harm their public image. SPIRAL STAIRCASE MISSING "Hae em |! OTTAWA REPORT 8 Party Politician Writes Memoirs By PATRICK NiCHOLSON OTTAWA - "I came to love politica early in life, studied it, and played at the game with exuberance and energy, I am perhaps a living example of an unsuccessful politician," With those words, Senator Charles Gavan Power concludes his reminiscences, in his book A Party Politician; The Mem- oirs of Chubby Power, just published by Macmillans, If Chubby calls himself an unsuccessful politician, I chal- lenge him to show me anyone on Parliament Hill today who has attained greater success, As he explains in his memoirs, he made his debut as secretary for his father's - unsuccessful candidacy in Quebec West in the election of 1908, That was lon in this cen tn fathaw ss himself, or his son did not win that seat for the Liberal cause, up until the Diefenbaker sweep in 1958, Chubby himself succeeded his father in 1917; 18 years later, Mackenzie King appointed him to his cabinet; 20 years afte: that, St. Laurent appointed him to the Senate where, nearing his 79th birthday, he still sits, NEARLY PRIME MINISTER Along that line, King consid- ered him as his successor, in the role of party leader and prime minister, Later, Chubby resigned from King's cabinet over the conscription issue, yet he remained an active Liberal, commenting that 'those years when I remained on the out- side of the inner circle were probably the most enjoyable." For well over 30 years, a large part of his political interest was centred on campaign orga- nization. Does that add up to unsuccess in a lifetime carssr* The chucklings of Chubby' 8 enjoyment provide the basis of a highly readable and remark- ably informative book, I can envisage him at work on it, smoke curling up from the in- evitable cigarette held near his lips, a whisky at his elbow, and an imp of mischief whispering into his ear. His sallies are slightly curbed for the printed word, but all his pungent frank- ness is there, As early as page 10, he ad- mits the truth of the folklore that competent campaign orga nization in Quebec ensures that even the names on the tombe stones record their votes, The highlights of his political career included' not only cams paign organization, but also the wartime Commonwealth aif training plan, which he, as mine ister of national defence for air, built up to unimagined success, and also the conscription crisis, These are all covered fully, and the chapters on organization offer a vade mecum for all would-be political rainmakers, FULL RECORDS KEPT Repeatedly he quotes from his very full diary or his ample memoranda, giving verbatim reports of important conversa tions in and out of cabinet, Bee fore this book was published, Chubby had many friands: more admirers and no enemies on Parliament Hill, That this situas tion will continue is due to the fact that Chubby has outlived the many targets of his pungent criticism, the right honorable gentlemen and the not so hon- orable gentlemen among whom he fought his political fights. While' future historians will find his memoirs a rich- lode, current readers will enjoy his candid comments and his frank sidelights on the characters of public men and their words and deeds. They will note too that Chubby walked among giants with character and principle of whom he has been an out- standing example -- and not among performing seals. Readers. will note that, al- though he formerly advocated the abolition of the Senate, his 11 years in our upper chamber have convinced him of its value although he insists that its method of appointment must be corrected, Liberals will not be entirely happy at his revelations, such as the inattention to departmen- tal duties of certain ministers. Nor will Liberals now active enjoy his admission of the un+ truth of their campaign against the Diefenbaker government-- "Tory times are hard times"-- based on the charge that in 1957, as in 1930, a new Tory government brought about a depression. He quotes Macken+ zie King himself to deny this. Castro Still Moving Force Whatever His Enemies Say HAVANA (AP)--What's Fidel Castro like? "Well, it's like this," says a young Communist, 'He's for- ever teaching us the right way to go about doing things." "He is inspiring to everyone," says a young female admirer. A straw poll in any area of the country is sure to come up with approximately the same conception of the premier's main characteristic; teacher and example to "the masses." Whatever else his enemies may think of him, he is Cuba's moving force. When he is inactive -- which which isn't often --- there are plenty of words but little action from other party officials A now - departed diplomat known for his biting analyses of Cuba's top figures once de- scribed Castro as "that great salesman, pitchman, preacher, teacher, actor, Communist the- oretician and fathef figure all crowd for five to seven hours, As the "maximum leader" he has the government-controlled press in his pocket, Newspa- pers, magazines, radio and tele- vision report his every move and vie to see who can present the most euphoric accounts of his actions, words and decisions. Wherever he goes --and he seems to be in one part of the country one day and at the op- posite end of the island the next he "orients" the masses (a fa- vorite word in the Communist dictionary). After exhausting everyone in his party, the bearded premier finally hops into his hammock, clothed in his habitual olive- green army fatigue uniform and taking off only his heavy com: bat boots.

The doorway and staircase had for years given reporters quick and easy 'access from the -- to the floor of the gislative assembly at the ad- journment of sittings, making it possible for them to ques- tion the premier, cabinet min- isters or members before they left the chamber. Government spokesmen said the doorway and staircase ~ 'were removed because lobbies for members are to be estab- lished in quarters occupied by the press gallery. New quar- ters for the gallery would be provided but at some distance from the chamber. Gallery reporters looked on the move as another of a se- ries to keep the press at arm's length. So intense were the feelings of some reporters that they affixed a poster to the sealed doorway dubbing it "The Wall of Shame." Later a meeting of gallery reporters adopted a 'resolution saying the gallery should no longer discuss any matter with the government offi- cially. If any member of the gallery had a grievance, he should fight the matter him- self, The meeting was told that negotiations between gal- lery representatives and the government on new quarters and on access to news had proved futile, After winning the June 5 election, Premier Johnson ad- vocated what was described as a more orderly method of gathering and reporting news. One of the first changes noted by reporters was at press conferences, Cabinet ministers would appear, read & communique and then de- cline to answer questions deal- ing with anything not in the prepared statement. Another change was in the government's information of- fice, which the Liberal gov- ernment had established and placed under the contro! of the provincial secretary's depart- ment .The Union Nationale government transferred con- trol to the cabinet. + Reporters immediately that the flow of communiques from individual government departments be- gan to dry up.

In reply to complaints that {it has become more difficult for newspaper men to obtain information from various gov- ernment the June election, Mr. John- son said this is because of a "prudence on the part of the ministers who don't want to let themselves make all kinds of declarations." In explaining reasons transferring office from the provincial sec. retary's department to cabinet, Mr, Johnson said: "The government owes it to itself to inform the public and there now is a study made on how information noticed - almost DRY UP could be better organized so that the public could be better informed."

However, they were to do it politely, General Schuy- ler's instructions included the phrase "that it will not be dis- agreeable to the Canadians." Washington decided not to at- tack the Maritimes, but sent two armed schooners to try to stop supplies from Britain from reaching Quebec. Their cap- tains; Broughton and Se!man, were instructed not to molest any Canadian vessel. Instead of patrolling the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Broughton and Selman became pirates and captured 'a number of fishing vessels off Nova Scotia. Then, Noy. 17, 1775, they sailed into Charlottetown harbor and were received by acting governor Phillips Broughton and Selman who thought they were on a friendly mission. Instead, Broughton and Selman took him prisoner and sent sailors to TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 17, 1966...

Fortunately Mrs. Callbeck was visiting a farm several miles inland and they did not find her, After looting a number of homes in Charlottetown, the Americans sailed away with Callbeck and several other of- ficials. Their loot included the silver seal of the island of St. John, as Prince Edward Island was called until Feb, 1, 1799, It was never seen again. The prisohers were taken to the headquarters of the Amer- ican army at Cambridge, Mass, but General Washington had them sent back to Prince Ed- ward Island, Later Callbeck wrote to General Washington thanking him for his kindness, but revealed his true feelings in a letter to General Howe, com- manding the British forces at New York. It said in part: "These monsters, bloodthirsty, sought out Mrs, Callbeck for the purpose of cutting her throat... . .

Dean Rusk, secretary of state since 1961, has had a couple of good reasons, including two talkative presidents, for not saying much, although this may be his natural condition. Such talking as he does -- speeches, testimony before Con- gress, press conferences occas- ionally -- has the monotony of an. echo, He avoids revelations and simply repeats the already well-known policies of the ad- ministration. He does the same thing, hard as this --- be to believe, at those so-called deep-deep back- ground luncheons and dinners with certain Washi agton, report: ers where the ground rules could keep him completely an- onymous. me he save can be at- tributed to him, directly or in- directly, or to any official of government, even though left unnamed, It might seem that there, although he is pretty bald, he could let his hair down. He doesn't. At one of these recent lunches one reporter shoved a note across the table to another after listening to Rusk for 15 min- utes; "More ancient history." It would be no wonder if Rusk made up his mind, when John F. Kennedy named him secretary of state, to be just the opposite of John Foster Dulles, secretary for most of Dwight D. Eisenhower's presi- dency. Dulles talked almost inces- santly, was allowed by Elisen- hower to make major foreign policy pronouncements, and had such a flamboyant streak that his statements sometimes BIBLE Peace. be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy pal- aces. For my brethren and companions' sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Psalm 122: 7-8, The twentieth century has shown that man has mastered the art of war and devastation, caused more controversy than they settled. But what he did he did de- liberately, He used speeches, testimony before Congress and press conferences to get out his views on American foreign pol- icy. He not only was the main spokesman for that policy in Eisenhower's day but much of the time seemed to be making it, with Eisenhower blessing him from the background. The Eisenhower - Dulles re lationship was a happy arrange- ment. As president, Eisenhower had to make himself heard from .time to time but he never ap- peared to have a compulsion to be heard. Dulles did. WOULDN'T WANT DULLES Rusk happened ts be secre. tary under two presidents -- Kennedy and Lyndon B, John- son -- who took over the major pronouncements tii € m- selves, foreign and domestic, and relished being seen and heard, Almost certainly neither of these two men could or would have tolerated Dulles. It is understandable that Rusk gets along well with Johnson who insists upon the centre of the stage in his administration. But Rusk's reticence and com- parative invisibility, no matter how valuable his contributions may turn out to be, have left him a rather negative figure in the public eye, hardly more than a name to many. Tf he resigned tomorrow, or was fired, few Americans would be in a position to be angered, distressed or delighted.
