Fhe Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1967 University Peaceniks Presented With Facts That peacenik fringe at one Cana- dian university at least was effec- tively clipped by External Affairs Minister Paul Martin this week. They greeted him with jeers and placards demeaning Canada and our country's foreign policy. And they received more than they bargained for. One of the most frustrating as- pects of~ these highly emotional binges taken by the swinging pseu- do-intellectuals of the college cam- .pus is their refusal to face or re- spect facts, particularly those which as Canadians they should take pride. For young people privileged to attend institutions of higher learning they seem bent on remain- ing uniformed to the point of irre- sponsibility. Canada internationally is held in high esteem. Whether in the years of King, St. Laurent, Diefenbaker or Pearson, the Canadian govern- ment has earned the respect of other nations for taking strong stands and for speaking out on in- ternational issues. In war the Ca- nadian effort was of excellence be- yond parallel. In time of peace, the Canadian contribution is recognized as probably second to none. In ac- tion and in influence Canadian statesmen labor conscientiously to end the war in Vietnam, to prevent escalation and to halt the bombing. If the peaceniks don't recognize Canada's strong position, it is cer- tain it is understood in other coun- tries including our great neighbor south of the border. Departing from the speech he had prepared to deliver, Mr. Martin in a commendable spell of eloquence brought these points forcefully to the attention of his taunters. He told them that while he encouraged criticism he thought that all critics should speak not merely from emo- tion but from a sound basis of fact. Mr. Martin might well have given further advice. He could have given them a lecture on the. rudimentary courtesy which should be extended to a visiting statesman. The peace- niks could also be enlightened on another matter: Enrolment in an university doesn't automatically cast over them the mantle of all knowledge, if they'd listen rather than just jeer there's no limit to what they might learn. 'Clumsy Cupidity.... Even as a television spoof of es- pionage activities, the current epi- sode in the career of the U.S. Cen- tral Intelligence Agency would draw low ratings. The fact that the U.S. spy network has been paying the rent since 1952 for the foremost American student organization has upset both the Congress and the U.S. man on the street. The distress is illustrated in an editorial] blast delivered by the Washington Post: "It would be difficult to devise a report more likely to disgust and She Oshawa Times 86 King St. £., Oshawa, Ontario T.

This mala- droit manoeuvre has reduced all scholarly and professional groups in America, in their standing before the world, to the ranks of the sus- pected. It has reduced their credi- tibility at home and abroad. "What the CIA did was inexcus- able and indefensible, not just be- cause it was immoral and corrupt but because, besides, it was futile and counterproductive. The govern- ment must take steps to protect against an organization whose clumsy cupidity has brought em- barrassment at home and humilia- tion abroad ...." The consternation is understand- able. As The Post implies the ex- posure of the CIA "cover" is not to put the question of how widespread the CIA influence is in the academic community as a whole in the U.S. More unfortunate still is the set- back it might well deliver to one of the prestige - building and general- ly praiseworthy endeavors of the U.S. --.the Peace Corps. The CIA revelation is likely to be used by Communists and U.S. detractors in Asia, Africa and Latin America as fresh proof that the peace corps workers, aid technicians, teachers and all those the U.S. sends abroad to help less fortunate nations are actually agents on the American spy network. SUPREME COURT HEARING Millions Hang On Struggle Over Offshore Oil Rights By TOM MITCHELL Canadian Press Staff Writer The provinces and the fed- eral government climb into the legal ring this year in a title fight that could mean hundreds of millions of dol- lars to the winner. The gong opening the match is expected to ring about March, when the Supreme Court of Canada starts hear- ings in Ottawa on the ques- tion of whether the federal government or individ- ual provinces hold title to mineral riches under offshore ocean beds. Specifically, the court will be asked to decide jurisdiction only between Ottawa and Brit- ish Columbia for that prov- ince's offshore areas. But every other province, even Saskatchewan and Al- berta which have no coast- lines, will be affected by the decision. A ruling in favor of the fed- eral claim would mean the. two landlocked provinces would share in the revenue from any riches. A decision in favor of provincial claims would shut them out. And whatever the decision, the B.C. case is expected to set a precedent that will hold for the claims of other prov- inces, even though some points of argument differ from province to province. With close to 130,000,000 un- dersea acres off Canada's three ocean coasts already un- der permit for exploration, it is believed a major strike of oil, natural gas or some other mineral is just a matter of time. This has given added impetus to deciding where the benefits of such a find should flow. Prime Minister Pearson an- nounced Dec. 31, 1964, that the thorny question would be handed to the Supreme Court. He said facilitating sea-bottom exploration, an extremely ex- pensive business, is in the na- tional interest but "cannot be done effectively while jurisdic- tional uncertainty exists.' The provinces objected to the referral to the court. They favored political negotiations to arrive at a solution. A Cross-Canada Suryey by The Canadian Press shows that some are still objecting, Quebec -most of all. Claude Morin, Quebec's dep- uty minister of federal-provin- cial affairs, claims Ottawa, which makes appointments to the Supreme Court, "wanted to profit by its privileged po- sition." » Handing the court a ques- tion which is 'essentially a political one" carries the risk of "putting our court of last resort in a difficult position and of stirring up controversy on its role and function," he added. The procedure was "absolutely unjustifiable and unacceptable." However, one source said there isn't "a hope in hell" that Ottawa would change the decision to refer the question to the court. The federal position on off- shore mineral rights is that the whole question 'centres on provincial boundaries. There is no question that resources which lie inside pro- vincial boundaries are under provincial jurisdiction, the federal government says. But it maintains that provincial boundaries end at the water's edge and any resources that lie buried under continental shelves belong to the nation as a whole. It contends historic docu- ments back up its contention and points: to the responsibil- ity it has carried for enforcing laws in territorial waters. The provinces read history differently. They claim pro- vincial jurisdiction over re- sources means they hold con- trol over any riches under the Sea off their coasts. They see no difference be- tween Ontario holding min- eral rights under the Great Lakes out as far as the inter- national boundary with the United States and a coastal province having. jurisdiction over its adjacent sea bed. Indian's Distrust Of China Deepened By Red Guard By RAM SUNDAR Canadian Press Correspondent BOMBAY (CP) -- The Red Guard movement has deepened the average Indian's distrust of China, say knowledgeable ob- servers here. Reports from Burma, Ceylon, Nepal and other neighboring countries also suggest that the violent struggle across the Him- alayas has undermined the Chi- nese image. A correspondent writing from Katmandu, capital of Nepal, said in a dispatch to his news- paper in Calcutta that "'people here are wondering how Chinese youths can behave so cruelly to their own parents." He was re- ferring to the reported publie denunciation of Liu Shao-chi by his son and daughter. Press reports appearing here of public executions and of mu- tilations inflicted on "revision- ists" have shocked the average Indian, who attaches great sanc- tity to legal procedures and democratic concepts. Many Indians seem to be par- ticularly horrified by the Maoist campaign to root out the rem- nants of family solidarity. The general consensus is that the attempt will fail. A political science professor, A. K. Verma, said: "The Mao- ist attempt to destroy family ties altogether cannot succeed for the simple reason that 2,000- year-old traditions do not yield to the big stick that easily." Candidates for the current In- dian election made good po- litical capital out of the reports from China. Prime Minister In- dira Gandhi told an election meeting that "surely, we do not want such bad things to happen here."' Railway Minister Sadashiv Patil was more specific. He said the Red Guard movement "reveals the true face of com- 1 unism -- ruthless, remorse- less and unprincipled." The pro - Russian wing of the Indian Communist party was evidently anxious to assure vot- ers that it has little sympathy with the Maoist cultural revolu- tion. Its leader, Shripad Dange, told a workers' rally in Bom- bay that the Red Guards "are indulging in uncivilized behav- jor."' The Indian Communist party's pro - Peking wing, regarded as the more powerful of the two factions, has refused to con- demn the Red Guards move- ment, uncut manors COMPUTERIZED COOKBOOK CANADA TO CONTRIBUTE .. And 100 Years Hence, Would You Believe..? By J. ERNEST RICHARDSON VANCOUVER (CP) -- Fore- casting the future in any field is hazardous at best and look- ing ahead 100 years is impos- sible for a mere human. In the communications in- dustry, the imagination is staggered by developments of the present. The mind boggles at the possibilities of the fu- ture, and especially of the more distant future. One hundred years ago, the telephone did not exist, Just 30 years ago television seemed little more than a remote pos- sibility. And global communi- cation by satellite was little more than a dream less than a decade ago. Even with the mind condi- tioned by the rapid technolog- ical advances communication has experienced during the last five years -- advances which have made possible the transmission of photographs _ from the surface of the moon --it is difficult to accept some of the obvious possibilities of the future. Can you imagine, for in- stance, a home computer con- sole with typewriter keyboard and television screen con- nected to a public-utility com- puter through the telephone system which will permit each subscriber: --To have a private file in the central computer, a file, he can consult and alter at any time from his home? --To get full reports on cur- rent events for the asking and to record and reproduce them in his home? common use relatively early in our next 100 years. Scientists are hard at work attempting to overcome its --To get medical diagnostic services without leaving home? --To select a recipe from a computerized cookbook and follow audio-visual directions at home? A dream? Perhaps to a de- gree it is, but such a develop- ment is technically possible today. And it is a safe forecast that in the future, and prob- ably sooner than we think, it will become an economic pos- sibility, perhaps as economic as the telephone and tele- vision. Thousands of new communi- cations developments will come during the next 100 years, developments which will bring Canadians closer to- gether and _ developments which will enable Canadians to communicate instantan- eously with anyone, anywhere, at any time, by voice, sight or written message. Canadians will not only en- joy the fruits of these ad- vances during the next cen- tury. They will contribute to their development, just as they have in the past. B.C. Telephone specialists, by designing and assembling a television-telephone combin- ing camera, picture receiver and voice equipment in one package, have made a signifi- cant contribution to develop- ment of. the video-telephone, which undoubtedly will be in Touch calling, employing push buttons in place of the rotary telephone dial, already is in use in some areas and will be in widespread use in Canada during the next dec- ade. When combined with the electronic automatic ex- change, now in use experi- mentally, the touch ~ calling telephone will bring endless possibilities for sophisticated telephone use. Among them is call forwarding, which enables a person leaving his telephone to have incoming calls auto- matically forwarded to the telephone at his destination. In transmission, the satellite has made possible global tele- vision hookups and is in use for day-to-day telephone serv- ice between continents. Satel- lites will be used in the meas- urable future to handle tele- communications for business and the home within Canada itself. And then there is laser, the dramatic laboratory develop- ment of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser is based on projection of an extremely narrow and concentrated beam of. coherent light which can be focussed and directed over long distances. It has the potential to carry, on a single beam, as many as 10,000,000 television circuits or 1,000,000,000 telephone conver- sations, i present shortcomings and I have no doubt that they will overcome them in the century ahead, and probably within a decade. Imagine the _ possibilities with such a transmission tool. It could enable any individual to have his own private line for sound and sight communi- cation across any distance, just as he now has his private telephone line. It is conceivable to those of us in the communications in- dustry that during the next century individuals will be equipped with miniature tele- vision transmitter - receivers enabling them to communi- cate directly with one another around the world as simply as they use today's telephone. It is conceivable to some that one day you will be able to sit in your living room in, say, Calgary, see on curved walls the ocean surf and hear its sounds while you talk with a Vancouver friend whose im- ~ssage infull color and in three dimensions is brought into the room by laser beam from a satellite, It. is conceivable that this same thing will be possible through advanced techniques in microwave transmission. Staggering? Yes. But cer- tainly no more so than some of today's realities would have been to the Fathers of Confed- eration 100 years ago.

Not one suggested a similar agreement halting the area's purchases of conventional arms which burden budgets at the expense of urgent economic development. Nuclear weapons, of course, are costly and difficult to ob- tain; it is unlikely that the nu- clear powers will sell any. But this is not the real reason why hydrogen bombs are easier to ban than rifles in Latin America or why the United States sells and gives armaments in large quantities to poor nations that would eat better with less guns. There are almost no terri- torial disputes in South Amer- ica, No nation there feels men- aced by another. Yet they main- tain crippling military establish- ments and the purpose of these, of course, is the maintenance of internal law and order, the sup- pression of movements like Cas- tro's or like the rebellious plaguing Venezuela, Colombia and Guatemala. Political support for the reb- els comes from the dispossessed majorities in those countries, landless peasants, often more Indian of blood than their his- panic rulers. Historians who take the long view argue that agrarian reform, a more equit- able distribution of wealth, the abolition of corruption and ener- getic investment in development will do much more to prevent rebellion than will the jack- booted regiments of military re- gimes. In the long run this is prob- ably true In the short run, however, diplomats see consid- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 17, 1967... The 'Mad Trapper" known as Albert Johnson was shot dead by an RCMP patrol 35 years ago today-- in 1932--after a manhunt lasting nearly two months, Reported by Indians for in- terfering with their traps, he shot at police when they visited his cabin at Rat River, N.W.T. After a siege he escaped, in 45-below-zero weather, and made his way alone and on foot to the Yukon, killing Const.. Millen en route, He was tracked on foot and in the air and wounded a soldier before being shot. His real name and history were never known. 1800 -- Thomas Jefferson was elected U.S. president by the House of Representa- tives on the 36th ballot. 1934--The first high school driving course, at State Col- lege, Pa., began. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--the British captured German positions around Miraumont, taking 763 pri- soners; the Speaker of the British House of Commons said no terms could be made with the present German government.

In _back- ward countries, the armed forces are the only entity with any notion of large scale or- ganization, forward planning, discipline and continuity. The more backward the country, the more one finds that only men in uniform possess the neces- sary skills--it is no mere mill- tarist whim that makes Nasser use his army as an instrument of reform. Nor is it mere mili- tariam that brought the armed forces to power in Brazil and Argentina to combat inflation and enforce some discipline on two societies that were totally fragmented by sectional ego- tisms and by an endemic in- ability to think in national rather than personal or class terms. Of course, if the armies are corrupt and are used as mere instruments of oppression and exploitation to block all reform, then they plant the seeds of up- heaval as in Cuba. But where the armed forces at least intro- duce favorably with that of civ- ilian governments. At any rate, they maintain the degree of stability without which foreign investments will not come in and it is these investments, if they are in advanced industries, which can most rapidly furnish a backward country with a skilled middle class able to take the adn.inistration over from the army. So, at least, said the U.S. of- ficials I asked why their gov- ernment had just pledged a $15,000,000 gift of weapons to Morocco's King Hassan who has just visited Washington. Historians would argue that some instability and a _ revolu- tion or two may be what many countries need rather than mili- tary rule; revolutions mature and settle down. Wolfe Given Secret Orders By Pitt On Taking Quebec By BOB BOWMAN _After Amherst and Wolfe cap- tured Louisburg in 1758, Wolfe was angry because Amherst would not attack Quebec right away. Instead Amherst ordered him to attack fishing villages along the south shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, including Miramichi, now a famous sal- mon river for sports fishermen. Wolfe was disgusted and felt there was nothing to be gained by destroying the homes of harmless people. He reported: "J have done a great deal of mischief and spread the terror of His Majesty's arms through the gulf, but have added nothing to the reputation of them." Wolfe then went back to Brit- ain, much to the annoynce of Prime Minister Pitt. However, Wolfe pleaded that he needed to bathe in the mineral springs at Bath for his health. There was some truth to this but also an- other attraction. He had met Katherine Lowther there the previous year and was greatly vened before they could be mar- ried. Prime Minister Pitt sum- moned Wolfe to London for a meeting Feb. 5 and gave him secret instructions about the attack on Quebec. Wolfe was placed in command, and no time was lost in organizing the great- est fleet that had ever sailed from Britain. On Feb. 17, Wolfe and Admiral Saunders stood to- gether on the bridge of the flag- ship and watched the coast of Britain fade into the mist. Wolfe was never to see it again, but the great adventure had begun. OTHER FEB, 17 EVENTS: 1869--The Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals was formed. 1891--Sir John A. Macdonald addressed a political corfvention at Toronto and charged that the Liberals were conspiring to have Canada annexed by the United States. 1919 -- Death of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. 1958--Right Hon. Louis St. Laurent, former prime minister, QUEEN'S PARK Pedestrian Budget Proposed By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO -- This year's budget was not one to send you rushing to the typewriter. The government will manage to produce hundreds of thou- sands of words in praise of the "achievements" in it. And the opposition likewise, will produce equal hundreds of thousands condemning it. But to the unbiased observer, neither is really. merited. Insofar as the budget follows the main lines of spending and revenue of recent years--even though both are again in- creased sharply--it is pedes- trian; there's nothing basically new. To get down' to bread and butter terms the most signifi- cant point in the budget for you and me is that the government is steadily increasing what it is taking out of our pocketbooks. On a rough estimate, provin- cial revenues in the current year will represent about 10 per cent of the gross personal in- come in Ontario. That is 10 cents of every dol- lar you earn is finding its way, somchow or other, into the pro- vincial treasury. This is an increase from about 8.4 cents last year; and it is an amount that will con- tinue to increase. CORRECT FIGURES Otherwise the financial pic- ture of. the province is more pleasant than Treasurer Charles MacNaughton paints it. Mr. MacNaughton estimated an over-all deficit of $48,000,000 for this year (an estimate based on nine months actual figures, and three months calculated for the balance of the year until March 31), and forecast a def- icit of $162,000,000 for 1967-68. From previous budgets these figures can be taken as inaccu- rate. Traditionally here it has been the custom to underestimate the revenues for the current year in budget speeches by about three per cent. Allowing for this, when the final figures are out (and they won't be announced until this fall) the province should show a small surplus. The normal underestimate has been around eight per cent. And taking this into account during the year to come, the government will probably show a small surplus. This, of course, does depend on economic conditions. If there should be a recession the treas- urer's predicted deficit might prove true. One other pleasing factor is that over-all debt is being con- tained and per-capita debt is going down.
