QUEEN'S PARK Robarts, Chairman, OTTAWA REPORT Collaboration Gap Widens In Cabinet Ghe Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1967 Long-Term Planning With Regional Concept Oshawa is likely to institute a study of the effect the proposed amalgamation of Whitby and Whitby Township would have on "Motor City" development. Whitby has taken the initiative in the pro- gram to broaden its economic base in a most business like manner and Oshawa is perhaps late in "getting into the act'. However, lest the lines of contention be drawn too hastily, the counsel of the Oshawa Planning Director is worth careful consider- ation. He told a meeting of the Board of Control that regional government would provide the only adequate solution... "that piecemeal amalga- mation" would only serve to com- plicate problems when action toward regional government was taken. In the long-term view, the key con- sideration is not a narrow corridor of potential industrial land but a new concept of government and its con- sequences. It cannot be escaped, particularly 'in this Golden Horsoe Region, that industrial development will not for much longer fit neatly into the framework of present municipal in depth discussion of the evolu- tion of regional planning and government are being held rather radical proposals are being made. At a Chamber of Commerce sym- posium on the subject, Mayor Stronach of London suggested that industrial taxation 'should become a provincial preserve and that in return for such revenues, the pro- vince should assume the cost of edu- cation. The London mayor pointed out municipalities with a high con- centration of industry would object while those not so favored would welcome the transfer. He contended that better land use and a govern- ment say as to where industries should locate, would be benefits that would accrue under such an arrangement. While the idea of "captive" industry does not have appeal, the proposal illustrates the range of thinking on regional deve- lopment. The regional approach is bound to mean the stepping on the toes of local government as constituted today, civic pride may also be in- jured. However before the pressure for or against moves to amalgama- tion in any area becomes an issue, By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--How much longer will Bob Winters take it Robert Henry Winters, of Lu- nenberg, N.S., has been the gilded boy of the Liberal party: sponsored by the late Clarence Decatur Howe in his rookie par- liamentary years; fostered into a@ reported income in business of $100,000 a year when elec- toral defeat cost him his $8,000- a-year job as an MP in 1957; backed by Liberal insiders as the best procurable successor party Leader Pearson during the years of Diefenbaker gov- Ph within a year of his return to the cabinet, that left wing nemesis was brought back as a cabinet colleague, while Bob Winters was holidaying. Mr. Winters, like at least four other ministers, apparently went away reinforced by the prime minister's assertion that there would be no cabinet changes during the Christmas layoff. Not only was Mr. Winters-- and others--surprised by the sudden return of Walter Gordon to the cabinet, after he had drafted a letter of resignation as an MP. It was also a severe shock, especially after the Gore ernment; given instant t rank when he finally heeded in- vitations to return to politics after the Diefenbaker defeat; and then instantly--that was in 1965--again not without his backers for the Liberal leader- There is a little piece of in- side history behind his rapid political advancement during his first parliamentary career. In 1947 there was a vacancy for a parliamentary assistant to a cabinet minister. The choice lay between Winters, elected to Parliament only two-years pre- viously, and an outstanding young Liberal MP from British Columbia who had been first elected seven years previously, Jimmy Sinclair. But Jimmy had antagonized Prime Minis- ter Mackenzie King by making a speech in the House urging conscription during the war. Drawing on his elephantine memory, King gave the promo- tional nod to Winters. That same afternoon, passing Sin- clair in a corridor in the Par- liament Building, to rub salt into the slight, the prime min- ister greeted Jimmy with "Good afternoon, Colonel Win- ters." WINS TORONTO SEAT Hon R, H. Winters began his second parliamentary career don p phy had been re- jected by the national Liberal convention according to some interpretations. "There must have been some meeting of minds between Mr. Gordon and the prime minis- ter," he admitted, confessing "I'm anxious to find out what they are. If there is any change in the direction of government economic policy, it hasn't been communicated to me." WELCOME U.S. CAPITAL If such change was later communicated to Mr. Winters, he was quick to denounce it. A few days later he told a San Francisco audience: 'Canada welcomes foreign capital, re- gardless of doubt-provoking re- marks to the contrary from time to time." Yet Mr. Gordon had dévised a doubt-provoking budget, and written a doubt-provoking book, which erased the word 'wel- come" from the doormat for United States capital. Ottawa Report has insisted, however, that the experienced Walter Gordon's policies are admirable but too little understood. He welcomes foreign capital, but properly considers that we should accept it in the form of bonds, not control - conferring equities.

By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst the officials said, as tentative peace feelers. Washington ac- knowledges this is so, begins reporter who visited Hanol. But with the mass media and the inherent "saleability" of peace, Politician? TORONTO ---Premier Ro- barts made his appearance in the throne speech debate on Wednesday and Thursday. And in his appearance there was a story in contrasts--a story of contrasts not only with the leaders of' the two up- position parties, who were com- mented on in yesterday's col- umn but of contrasts in him- self. In contrasting the premier with the opposition leaders, the main difference probably is that he speaks with more authority. As he is the leader of the gov- ernment it is natural to expect he would do so, of course. He has authority, the other men are just seeking it. The most interesting contrast, however, is in the premier hime self, Mr. Robarts in his public ap- Ppearances can be two quite different men, He can give very much the image of the "chairman of the board"--a reserved and precise man. And at other times he can be a free - swinging politician, a hearty, throaty leader on the attack,' who whales into the op- Position .with gusto and enjoy- ment, CONTRAST MARKED The contrast is very marked, and there would seem to be one factor mainly _ responsible: Whether or not the premier is reading from a text. Some politicians have mas- tered the art of reading from a text and making their de- livery forceful and apparently impromptu. Former premier Leslie Frost, for example, was one of these.
