(AP Wirephoto) Sir John's Deal With CPR Attacked By NDP Member OTTAWA (CP)--A concession nade by Sir John A. Macdonald to the CPR in 1880 came under debate Tuesday in the Com- mons. To entice the 'railway into building a line to link the coun- try from coast to coast, Can- ada's first prime minister agreed to exempt it from mu- nicipal taxes. The tax exemption, now a statute of Parliament and a part of the constitutions of Sas- katchewan and Alberta, came under scathing attack from David Lewis (NDP -- York South) as the Commons contin- ued to make progress on a gov- ernment bill outlining a new na- tional transportation policy. The House takes a one-day 'break from the transport bill to- day to debate the first stage of a bill to insure the deposits of banks and qualifying trusts and loan companies. And since today is Sir John A. Macdonald Day, there are sure to be plenty of tributes to the Conservative who headed the first Canadian government. CONCESSION QUESTIONED Tuesday, however, Macdon- ald's commitment to the CPR 97 years ago was questioned not only by Mr. Lewis but by Transport Minister Pickersgill. Good or bad, the government was bound by the Macdonald- CPR pact, said Mr. Pickersgiil. "With all the wisdom I now have, if I had been Sir John Macdonald, I do not believe I would have made this particular type of contract with the Cana- dian Pacific," said Mr. Pickers- gill. Mr. Lewis, the NDP's deputy leader, said times have changed since Macdonald's government signed the pact with the CPR. "If the exemption was ever justified--and my study of the matter has never persuaded me that even originally it was jus- tified--it certainly has not been so for many years," the labor lawyer said. The matter cropped up as both Conservative and NDP members sought assurances that the CPR would begin pay- ing municipal taxes in 1967. WILLING TO PAY In a letter to the government in early 1966, the railway said it would pay the levies starting the year after the new trans- port bill was passed. Conservative MPs have ar- gued that municipalities along the CPR's main line in Western Canada count on receiving these taxes in 1967. It was not their fault, nor the fault of Parlia- ment, that the government hadn't brought the bill into the Commons earlier so it could be approved before Dec. 31. Mr. Pickersgill said he would take the matter up with the CPR after the bill was passed --within the next few weeks, he hoped. * He hoped the CPR would ac- cept a Conservative suggestion to pay the taxes from the month the bill is approved if not for the full year. But that was entirely up to the CPR, he said. Mr. Lewis said the CPR's letter to the government "'was written with the CPR's charac- teristic arrogance." "The time is overdue to say to the Canadian Pacific that the time when it can be ex- empted from municipal taxa- tion is over and ended." WOULD MAKE CHANGES Debate on the CPR issue pro- duced the only harsh words of the sitting. Mr. Pickersgill, as By, THE CANADIAN PRESS These are the key figures in- volved in the power struggle being waged for control of China and its 750,000,000 people: Mao Tse-tung, 73, chairman of the Chinese Communist party. Son of a well-to-do peasant from Hunan province, Mao became a Communist in 1921. Ten vears later he ousted pro-Moscow ele- ments of the party. Mao led the party and its armed forces to victory over the Nationalist forces of Chiang Kai-shek and was master of China by Oct, 1, 1949. He based China's revolution on peasant rather than indus- trial uprising, a variation of Marxist socialism which has come to be known as Maoism. Chubby 'but taller than-most Chinese, Mao apparently is in good health despite reports to the contrary. He has been married' either three or four times, his current wife being Chiang Ching, who wields considerable authority. Lin Piao, 59-year-old defence minister. This short, bullet- scarred veteran is considered Mao's heir. He is said to suffer from latent tuberculosis. A brilliant student at Wham- poa Military Academy, he com- manded one of Chiang Kai- shek's regiments at the age of 19 and took it with him when he defected to the Communist side. Lin took part in the 7,000-mile Long March of 1934-35 when Mao's supporters broke out of was the first to enter Korea dur- ing the 1950-53 conflict. Lin rose to political promi- nence after a 1959 purge, during which Mao fired Defence Min- ister Peng Teh-huai. Lin in- creasingly became the interpre- ter of Mao Tse-tung's theories. In addition to the defence post, he is vice-premier and a vice- chairman. ofthe party central committee. Liu Shao-chi, 69, president head of state of the People's Republic.

China and his 4th Field Army| 120 Chu, 60, a vice-premier| Control Of China Spurs Power Fight Chou En-lai, 69, premier and head of the government ap- paratus. In the current strug- gle, Chou patently is allied with the Mao-Lin group and No. 3 in the hierarchy. Recent Red Guard posters attacking him were quickly torn down, leaving his true status in doubt. Chou is regarded as the pe- rennial government functionary who remains safe by not aspir- ing to the pinnacle of power. A product of university education in China, Japan 'and France, he is China's suave diplomat today, although his youth was passed in violent revolution. He is well known to Western diplomats, having been a chief negotiator in the Korean armis- -- during Indochina peace talks. Teng Hsiao-ping, 64, g@eral secretary of the Communist party. Stocky, short and tough, with a broad, flat face and hunched posture, Teng may have been caught in the middle by the current struggle. Born in Szechuan, Western China, Teng spent five years in Paris after the First World War and later visited Russia. He was editor of the Maoist army newspaper between 1932 and 1934 and took part in the Long March. He became a member of | the party central committee in| 1945 ,a vice-premier in 1952 and | economic czar in 1953, with power over the nation's purse. | Now a Red Guard target along with Liu, he earlier had been rated fifth among Chinese and propaganda chief.

A rugged man-with crew-cut| grey hair and square jaw, Tao) now is under Red Guard attack, | possibly because of his efforts to keep harmony in the party: Chen Po-ta, 62. Long-time pri- vate secretary to Mao, with whom he is allied in the strug- leader of the cultural revolution. An austere teetotaller known jfor arrogance, Chen is a writer jand propagandist and has served Mao as a theoretician. Chiang Ching} about 53, wife of Mao. A former second-rate actress from Shanghai, she has risen to a position of consider- able authority as deputy to Chen Po-ta in leading the cul- tural revolution. She exhorts the Red Guards to root out and destroy foes of Mao's thinking. Born Li Ching Yun, she joined the Communist party in 1938 and went with a film group to Mao's guerrilla base at Yenan, where she fell in love with the party chairman. A few China-watchers say she has the potential to become a matriarch of China, a sort of Communist empress. Peng Chen, 67, former mayor of Peking. This forceful speaker and veteran Communist was dismissed as head of Peking's municipal Communist party committee last spring, signal- ling the start of the power struggle. He has been reported under arrest for conspiring against Mao. gle, Chen has been designated Former Lion Joining Argos TORONTO (CP)--Bob Shaw, manager-coach of Toronto Arg-| onauts, announced Monday the| hiring of Frank Johnston, | former British Columbia Lions' coach in the Western Football, Conference, Johnston, a coach since 1954| at Notre Dame, South Carolina,| THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, January 11,1967 ]5 © Marquette and Vancouver, will be offensive line coach for 'the|they can get them, that they Argonauts, who finished in last| cannot close their shells. place in the Eastern Football) Conference last season.
