4 She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, MARCH 13, 1967 Question Of Investment One Of Encouragement Canada requires investment to continue to develop in the future, or for that matter to have a future at all. The real issue then in the con- tinuing controversy should not be the discouragement of investment but the encouragement of it from any source. Canada has prospered with the help of foreign investment. We have paid a price for foreign investment and prosperity, and the price is variously regarded as foreign in- fluence, foreign ownership or foreign control. There is disagree- ment on the effects. But there is no disagreement on the need for further investment. Continuing this argument, The Windsor Star stresses that if Can- ada is to grow and propser, we need more investment,. foreign or other- wise, If it is Canadian investment, so much the better. If it is foreign investment, it is still needed. And the record of Canadians is that they have been reluctant to invest in their own country, through a period when American investment has flowed smoothly into Canada. Are future American investors to be penalized for the actions of past American investors when past American investment has helped both Canada and the investors, asks the Star. Will potential Canadian investment be stimulated if Amer- ¢ ican investment is choked off? Inducing Canadians to invest in their own country may be a long and difficult process. It is a much more worthwhile task for the fed- eral government than any attempt to inhibit future U.S. investment or strangle present U.S. investment. A warning agains interfering with present U.S. investment has been sounded by a member of the government. Hon, Jean Marchand, minister of manpower and leader of the Quebec wing of the federal Liberal party, who cautions against any attempt to "buy back Canada." The resoning of The Star is sound based on the Marchand statement. It is that Canadians should buy their own future rather than trying to buy out the past. Last Of Autocrats ? The last of the unbridled auto- crats in our democratic society is the label given to the provincial liquor commissioners. In the name of liquor control and without due process they can put a man out of business, enter and search his home at will, impound his car or simply decree that he cannot buy liquor anywhere. These are some of the accusa- tions made in a report in the current issue of Maclean's Magazine. The contention is that in the process of evolving from an era of temperance we have produced not just arbitrary laws but tangled and_ irrational ones. Opening hours and regulations vary not only from province to pro- vince but from city to city and from Saturday to Sunday. She Oshawa Sines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie . T.

He should at all times brace himself for an instantaneous. repeal of Magna Carta. Moreover the jumped laws cover everything connected with alcohol from the strength of whisky available to the color scheme of bar stools. Some recent examples: --In Edmonton the Alberta board refused to grant a licence to the airport bar until the color scheme of the bar's furniture was altered. --In Ontario drinkers have long believed they couldn't have more than one drink at a time. No such law exists; it's just the way the liquor board likes things. The men who dictate these rules, suggests the report, are both emo- tionally and mentally out of touch with modern Canada. They operate on the assumption that tight regu- lations inhibit liquor consumption. But the fact remains that B.C, and Ontario, with the strictest controls in Canada, have the highest con- sumption; Quebec, with the most liberal controls, has the lowest per capita consumption in Canada, Other Editors' Views WHO'S QUIET?

The House was considering Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp's bill to increase the sales tax and income tax payments, to meet the additional cost of the $30 supplementary old age pension. At 4.40 p.m. a vote was called on an amendment moved by Stanley Knowles, New Demo- crat MP from Winnipeg. The 16 New Democrats present had the backing of the 64 Conservatives and 1 Independent MP; but the amendment was defeated by 92 votes to 81, the 82 Liberals being supported by 7 Creditistes, 2 Social Credit and 1 Independent. Immediately when that amendment was negatived, Mr. Speaker called the main vote on the bill. Although presumably all the MPs in Ottawa were al- ready in the Chamber, the di- vision bells were rung through: out the Parliament Building, to summon MPs to the vote. The bells were kept ringing for no less than 1 hour and 17 minutes, SAYS SCANDALOUS "This is the most scandalous thing that has happened in all the years I have been in Par- liament,"' declared Conservative leader John Diefenbaker--with every justification. The prime minister often complains that time is wasted in Parliament; but those bells cost the taxpay- ers about $11,000, while restless MPs sat talking and smoking in the lobbies outside the Cham- ber, and nibbling juicy apples just supplied in crates to ad- vertise some orchard. Finally the bells stopped ring- ing. Suspense and excitement ran high. The Creditistes were known to be going to vote against the government; this made the result of the vote pre- dictable as 88-85. The bill would be defeated and, since this ranked as a confidence vote, the government would fall, and there would be a general elec- tion, Despite incorrect reports to the contrary, the Liberal whip was not rounding up more Lib- eral MPs; there were none in Ottawa to be rounded up. But when the vote was counted, it was found that seven Conservatives had disappeared and did not vote. These were George Chatterton (Esquimalt- Saanich), Sig Enns (Portage- Neepawa), Davie Fullon (Kam- loops), Howard Grafftey (Brome Missisquoi), Jack Ir- vine (London, Ont.), David Mac- Donald (Prince) and Mrs. Jean Wadds (Grenville-Dundas). Where were those_ seven Tories? Why had they left? Did some private business outrank the achievement of the legiti- mate objective of every parlia- mentary Opposition; the overs throw of the government? Or were they deliberaly saving the Liberal government from defeat, because they did not want to fight an election under the leadership of John Diefenbaker? Those who know the line-up of the pro - and anti - Dief forces noted that, of those seven, only Chatterton and Irvine had signed the Diefenbaker loyalty "pledge. There were other changes in the vote pattern, but minor ones. Bert Herridge quixotically abstained from the vote; Lib- eral minister Larry Pennell had left; NDP MPs Martin and Orli- kow arrived. And three Credi- tistes had gone, So, instead of the government being defeated by the anticipated vote of 88-85, it won. 84-79. It was saved from defeat by those seven Conserva- tives.who, for whatever reason, refrained from voting against it But where were the 88 N@Ps who never voted on that fatty day? Five were present, bu were paired with absent MPs; the Speaker did not vote. But apparently 46 Liberals, 28 Tories, three NDP, three So- creds, one Creditiste and one Independent were away from Ottawa. That absenteeism, on an important vote, is in line with the discreditable irrespon- sibility for which this 27th Par- liament has become notorious, Russians Turn To West, Hold Chinese By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--A Russian official was telling a West- erner about the gloomy out- look for his country's rela- tions with China, adding that on the other hand there is no reason why the Soviet Union and the West shouldn't be able to live together amicably. "At least we have the same color skin,' he said, punctu- ating his remark by leaning over to look his listener straight in the eye and Squeeze his cheek. The comment and gesture say a lot about the contrasting attitudes of Russians toward the Chinese and toward the West. More and more, as the hostile Stalinist years fade into history, the Russians are coming to think of themselves as a Western people. And they are looking westward for their natural contacts and associ- ations. Their contempt for Chinese, 'the main allies of the Soviet people until eight years ago, is deepening and racial differ- ences play no small part in the change of attitude. There is also growing up a kind. of national superiority complex, fed for some months by a stream of press reports, indignant in tone, about the iconoclastic behavior of China's Red Guards. The implication is that any people who would destroy In Contempt the works of Shakespeare, Beethoven and Bartok and pull down a statue of Pushkin must indeed be uncultured. HISTORICAL FEAR The sense of superiority can- not, however, hide a vague, historically-rooted fear, Rus- sians know that this land was once conquered by _ hordes from the East who held it in their grip for more than two centuries. The fact that the conquer- ors were Mongolian and not Chinese is immaterial. The humiliation and suffering of that period are enough to awaken suspicion of Orientals generally. Russians are particularly resentful that the Mongolian invasions came just at *he time of the Renaissance in the West, about the besipning of the 13th century, a ut them off from its enlightening in- fluences. The fear based on history is coupled with awareness of China's enormous present-day population, of the U.S.S.R's empty lands in the east and of China's claim to many of these lands. Russians, generally guarded in what they say to foreigners, particularly Westerners, often abandon this reserve in dis- cussing China. One epithet they often use in referring to the Chinese people is "Mon- keys." AIR FORCE VETERANS REMEMBER Escapers To Bring 'Helpers' To Canada MONTREAL (CP)--The 114- member Canadian branch of the Royal Air Force's Escaping So- ciety has a unique centennial project--it plans to bring to Canada in September 15 per- sons who played roles in helping the men escape from enemy- held territory during the Second World War. . The objective is to have guests from France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Norway and Den- mark. They are to arrive Sept. 13 and leave Oct. 2, after visits te Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal eeincluding Expo 67. Final details have yet to be arranged and the rant of the 15 "helpers" are not able. p "This project is our way of paying. tribute and showing our gratitude to the people who risked their lives to save ours," Harvey Firestone, branch area representative, said in an inter- view. "Basically they had nothing to gaia materially and everything to lone by helping us--the pen- alty Wastiéa Many patriots had members of Their families killed when one of us escaped." Mr. Firestone, shot own. be- hind enemy lines in Norway Sept. 25, 1944, said Prime Min- ister Pearson has agree to meet the "helpers." t avail: The society was founded in England in 1945 by Viscount Portal, a°marshal of the RAF, The Canadian branch was es- tablished in August, 1965, as an administrative division. A successful escape from enemy-held territory during the Second World War is a mem- bership requirement. The mem- bers are all former airmen. The current branch president is J. Angus MacLean, a mem- ber of Parliament from Prince Edward Island who was minis- ter of fisheries in the Diefen- baker cabinet. Mr. Firestone talked reluc- tantly of his own escape after the twin-engined RCAF Welling- ton in which he was the wire- Jess air gunner, was heavily hit by flak. "We crashed on a peninsula on the coast of Norway. The six- man crew was not seriously in- jured. The Germans saw tis zo down. I guess they figured they'd just seal off the land and round us up."' For a few hours the crew hid in a cave, all tired and afraid. Three weeks of hair-raising, suspense-filled days of keeping one step away from the Gere mans followed ENEMY GOT TIP At one point the underground had moved the men to a place near Lonningdal, on the voast. But the Norwegian escort by mistake sent a rendezvous sig- nal to a group of German. sol- diers, mistaken for another underground group, on a distant hill "We had to. hide and fast. That group of Germans, 40 of tnem on motorcyles, headed right for us. Nearby were two boat- houses. The Norwegians broke into the first one, left it like that, and locked us into the second one." The trick saved them. The German officer told his men not to search the locked boathouse, saying '"'They couldn't be in there, it's locked from the out- side." Later the underground ar- ranged a meeting with the 110- foot U-boat chaser Vigra, off Rostoy, Oct. 13, to transfer the crew to the Shetland Islands and safety. "We couldn't without help," stone. In Toronto, John Dix, navi- gator of a Halifax bomber which was set on fire by Ger- man fighters over Luxembourg in August, 1943, recalled his escape. He and the bomb-aimer parachuted but were separated in landing. have done it said Mr. Fire- "Mr Dix said he wandered through woods for two days. Then a farmer's dog found him asleep in a ditch--"cold, wet, miserable, hungry and thirsty." Next day he was hidden in the attic of the farmer's house while Germans searched the house. Eventually members of the Lux- embourg underground took him to Luxembourg City where a young couple concealed him for three weeks in their apartment. There he linked up with his bomb-aimer. "We were issued with clothes and false identity papers and put on a train for Brussels, with a young. Luxembourg student as our guide. The Germans searched the train at Namur-- they apparently had been tipped we were aboard--but for some reason they did not capture me or the student. The bomb-aimer and a U.S. airman who was travelling with us were -cap- tured," Mr. Dix was shelleéed for six weeks in Brussels, then guided across the border into France. Underground members got him to Paris and from there after another three weeks to tha Spanish border. He crossed into Spain in December, 1943, and that month made his way to Gibraltar and so back to Eng- land by Christmas, THE CHAPERONE eae treet FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS U.S. Lashed To Vietnam By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Such is the corruption in South Vietnam, according to United Nation experts I visited this week, that no reform, no consti- tutional change, could preserve the state from a- Communist takeover should the Americans leave the Saigon government to its own devices in the foresee- able future. Among South Vietnam's' ad- ministrators, the way of life is influence-peddling and worse. It is not uncommon to embezzle the pay of the troops, sell their food, uniforms and medical sup- plies. Material provided by the Americans to help the war ef- fort is, exported to other coun- tries, sold on the Saigon black market or even traded to the Communists by high panjan- drums of the South Vietnamese hierarchy. Smaller fry, soldiers, petty bureaucrats, subjected to cheat- ing by their superiors, seek compensation in extortion, steal- ing and looting. The ultimate victim is the South Vietnamese peasant who sees his country's troops not as protectors but as marauding scavengers. These South Vietnamese sol- diers, in fact, are even su- spected of killing their Amer- can allies to rob the dead GI's. That this happens is widely be- lieved by U.S. troops who con- sequently treat the South Viet- namese with extreme suspicion and hostility, attitudes that help the cultivation of anti-American- ism among the South Vietna- mese soldiery by undercover Communist agents. SCOURGE OF GOD Thus, the American army is effectively isolated from all classes of society, especially from the peasants who consider the U. S. soldier the scourge of "God. With the increase of U.S. troops in South Vietnam, no part of that country is immune from the touch of war. It is enough for a guerrilla hiding in the bushes on the edge of a village to fire at a passing U.S. helicopter and the village is obliterated with napalm, The Viet Cong commandeer food, they event execute the village representatives of the Saigon government, but such acts are not the total catas- trophe of an American air strike with its inevitable indiscrim- inate killing of women and chil- dren. A long period of quiet TODAY IN - HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 13, 1967... . The first revolution@ against the "Weimar repub- lic' set up in Germany after the Treaty of Versailles oc- curred 47 years ago to- day --in 1920-- when Wolf- gang Kapp and some troops occupied Berlin. Govern- ment officials fled, includ- ing the president, but a general strike by the wor- kers was enough to bring the putsch to an end after four days. Kapp fled to Swe- den but was later arrested in Germany and died in pri- son in 1922. 1791 -- Tom Paine's The.. Rights of Man was pub- lished in defence of the French Revolution. 1884 -- Standard time was., adopted throughout the Unt ted States. First World War Fifty years ago today-- in 1917 -- the British occu- pied Grevillers and Loupart Wood on the Western Front and the Germans abandoned trenches before Bapaume,; is needed during which the peasantry can be taught that Western intervention which has brought destruction can also bring prosperity and peace. But the Communists can deny this long period of peace with low-cost hit-and-run operations. Consequently, United Nation ex- perts wonder whether Ameri- cans will dare leave South Viet- nam should peace be signed and, if not, whether Hanoi or Peking would accept a treaty letting the U.S. maintain bases on Vietnamese soil to keep an anti-Western people from turn- ing Communist, Pilot Scented Iroquois At Montreal Garrison By BOB BOWMAN One of Walt Disney's best ani- mal films was the story of a terrier Greyfriar's Bobbie. There is a statue in Scotland C ating this gallant lit- tle dog. Adramatic film also could bé made about a dog called Pilot who was a member of Maisonneuve's garrison in Montreal in 1644. The garrison was always in danger of being attacked by the Iroquois who hid in the woods outside the walls. They always hoped for an opportunity to kill anyone who might venture out. The garrison's best sentry was the female dog Pilot who had a good nose for the Iroquois. When Pilot scented them, she began to howl. Then Pilot had six puppies, and she taught fhem to do the same. On March 13, 1644, Pilot and her puppies began to howl, and pointed at the woods like bird- dogs. Maisonneuve's men were weary of the confinement of the fort and longed for action. They asked to be allowed to go out and attack the Iroquois. Maison- neuve knew it was risky, but was probably just as impatient fer action himself, and shouted "Get ready then! I shall lead you myself." It was a mistake. When they got outside the fort, they were bogged down by the heavy snow and quickly surrounded by the Indians. They had guns as well as bows and arrows. Maison- neuve realized immediately that he had fallen into a trap, or- dered his men to try to hide be- hind the trees and get back to the fort. Fortunately, there was a path through the snow made by log- gers and Maisonneuve's men raced along it. The Iroquois chased them, screeching their war-cry "Cas- see kouee," firing their guns and arrows. Three Frenchmen were killed and others were wounded, The people watching from the fort thought that the others would never get hack safely, and they fired at the Indians hoping to check their progress. Fortunately, the re- mainder did manage to get back to the fort in the time. Maison- neuve was the last man in when the strong gate closed benind him. The wounded were Jeanne Mance's first patients in the iy hospital that had just been uilt.

CHAIN RECTION NATO Guard Still Vital, U.S. Claims By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- The U.S., in what some are calling a rediscovery of Europe, is hard at work trying to head off any British troop withdrawals from the NATO forces there. Officials here make plain they fear the slightest erosion of Eu- rope's NATO manpower com- mitments will generate a chain reaction of similar sentiment in the U.S. Congress too hot to handle. Mike Mansfield, Senate ma- jority leader, has proposed that as many as four of the six U.S. divisions in Europe could be withdrawn. Talks at London among Brit- ain, West Germany and the U.S. are desvribed here as at the halfway stage, but U.S. deter- mination to find a solution is underlined. Officials are saying a much fuller understanding with the Soviet Union may be just around the corner. But it isn't here yet in the U.S. view and NATO's guard has to be kept up for another year at™ east, pending more progress on such issues as the spread of nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, they contend, the Soviet Union still has 20 divi- sions in East Germany and they are skeptical of reports that some of these divisions are being drained off to bolster Rus- sia's long and uneasy border with China. U.S. ENVOY SENT John J. McCloy has gone as an envoy to London with pro- posals designed to meet British demands for more help in sup- porting the British Army of the Rhine. There also are plans to assuage German complaints of financial problems. This, says the New York Times, {s belated U.S. leader- ship "to ease the long-festering wrangle about troop levels and support costs in Germany." The U.S., preoccupied with Vietnam, gave some interim aid to Britain-last year. Gers many also made some conces- sions. Now a complicated' deal ap- pears in the making to relieve Germany of pledges to buy American arms she doesn't want. U.S. bonds would be sub- stituted and perhaps German purchases of American wheat to be sent as German aid to In- dia. That would ease the U.S. dollar drain. To U.S. officials, the decision of little Luxembourg to end her military draft doesn't mean much to NATO's numerical strength, YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Ray and John Coad, sons of the late William A.
