Ghe Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1967 Marchand In Running For Liberal Before this year's out both the major political parties in Canada are likely to have new leaders. Thus the actions and statements of prom- inent Liberals and Conservatives with leadership aspirations or those considered to have leadership po- tential are subjected to constant scrutiny. Currently from Liberal ranks the politician coming under study is Manpower Minister Jean Marchand. There seems two associated reasons for the analysis. He has recently become the leader of the Quebec wing of the federal Liberal party and, in this role, he appears to be deviating from the norm by enter- ing into controversy with provin- cial ministers of the Quebec govern- ment. Attention has been drawn to a case in point by The Kitchener- Waterloo Record. It notes that Mr. Marchand has taken exception to strong statement against Confeder- ation made by a minister of the Union Nationale government. On the surface it could simply be a minister of a federal government Leader ? at present dedicated to trying to make Confederation work attack- ing a politician actively engaged in trying to destroy the basis of Con- federation. But the policy for some time has been for federal French- Canadian members to tread lightly in their criticism of provincial poli- ticians lest they damage their own electoral backing. Mr. Marchand's outspoken rebut- tal could indicate a new approach of federal Quebec members in de- fence of Confederation. Another avenue of thought is also being ex- plored in light of approaching lead- ership changes. Mr. Marchand has been mentioned increasingly as a politician with the potential to suc- ceed Mr. Pearson. If he is interested, what better way to start his drive, asks the Record, than with a strong attack against French - Canadian provin- cial politicians who are also separ- atists. Such a campaign is almost essential for any French - Canadian whose ambition may be leading him to try for the leadership of a na- tional party. today. Another Four-Letter Word For some in our society today "protesting" would seem to repre- sent a profession in itself. To those, particularly to the students, so in- clined, Rev. Raymond O'Connor. SJ, recently directed a "Thought for Today" in a regular radio series of messages over an Ottawa radio sta- tion. He asked students "to study responsibility". Rev. O'Connor on the CBO pro- gram put his case this way: "Many say they are against war, and I have no quarrel with that. But when they say they are against this or that particular war that their country -- or their country's best friend -- happens to be en- gaged in, they are setting up their own judgment against the consider- ed policy of their government. Again, it may be that they are right. No government has a monop- oly on wisdom. The point I am try- ing to make is that if anyone, stu- She Oshawa Zimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie T. L.

"T do have the impression that a lot of protesting seems to be simply for the sake of protesting, or be- cause the protesters are chronically against authority, or against work. I think that for the most part time could be spent much more profit- ably in studying than in carrying placards. Or in working quietly but effectively on behalf of the poor and underprivileged -- as indeed indeed many students are doing-- than in screaming about social in- justice.

But more can be done to relieve these things by diligent study and conscientious work than by going around whin- ing about them and about every- thing else.

(No hewers of wood nor drawers of water, are we!) And it's still sure-fire vaude- ville to pack a house. --Hamilton Spectator unsafe OTTAWA REPORT American Control Strain Relieved By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--United States con- trol of Canadian businesses has been moved from the realm of philosophical debate to the ur- gent arena of combative poli- tics by the. affair of the Mer- cantile Bank of Canada. This small Dutch-owned bank was purchased by the powerful First National City Bank of New York. That let the cat of foreign initiative among the pigeons of domestic complacency. One of the most strenuous lobbies ever mounted on Parliament Hill was dedicated to the proposition that no Canadian bank should come under foreign domination. The new factor was that, un- like its former Dutch owners, the U.S. bank was powerful enough to build Mercantile into an actively competitive force; 'further, it was feared that the U.S. parent would be anxious and able to influence other U.S. parents to compel their Cana- dian subsidiaries to transfer business from a Canadian bank to this U.S. subsidiary. SHARP VERSUS GORDON One school of thought, person- ified by Finance Minister Sharp, considers that the stirring winds of competition and of foreign loans would be_ beneficial among Canadian banks. An op- posed school, long spoken for by former finance minister Walter Gordon, believes that a halt must be called to foreign, no- tably U.S., control of Canadian business. The Mercantile Bank hap- pened to become the battle ground. But since January back- stage manoeuvres have been quietly seeking a formula which would bridge this seemingly un- bridgeable gap. Few people out- side the cabinet knew what was going on. When reconciliation seemed at hand, Mr. Gordon upped his ante. And all hell broke loose around the cabinet council table. Prime Minister Pearson said that if reports of this row leaked out, he would fire the responsible minister for the leak. The leak came. But Parliament Hill still is waiting for our unfiring prime minister to implement his threat. . negotiations young politician named Bryce Mackasey, a native of Quebec City and now Liberal MP for Montreal-Verdun. As parliamentary secretary to the minister of labor, Bryce is several light-years distant from the world of finance. But as a hard-working and realistic MP, he is interested in every facet of the parliamentary de- bate, including foreign owner- ship. Although not a member of the Commons committee on fie nance, he attended as a specs tator when it was examining the chairman of First National City Bank, James Rockefeller; he, and he alone, picked up one significant remark made by him. INTO THE LION'S DEN As a result, he conceived the idea of personally pursuing the behind closed doors. He told his intention to Prime Minister Pearson and Finance Minister Sharp; he ree ceived their blessing but it was made clear that his venture might be officially disowned if it turned sour. Acccompanied by Gregory Gorman, a young law partner of the powerful cabinet minister Senator John Connolly, he set out for New York to beard the Wall Street lion in his board- room, After two days of hard bargaining, he brought back to Ottawa Rockefeller's agreement that he would sell 75 per cent of Mercantile to Canadians, pro- vided he was first given five years in which to build up the bank's business and make its shares an attractive buy. From that point on, leaks from cabi- net have made the story public knowledge. But the significant fact is that this once again points up the initiative, courage and plain horse-sense of Bryce Mackasey, who on previous occasions has shown that he possesses as much drive as any 10 other MPs, not excluding present and past ministers. History may re- cord that his now famous week- end meetings in New York pro- vided the 'break-through in the whole vexed question of Amer- ican control of the Canadian diplomats, omen FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS ST a UN Loses Significance By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst The United Nations building in.

General As- ve dn genni To Stem Urban Living Tide By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP)--An ef- fort to stem or reverse a hu- man tide pouring steadily into problem - ridden American cit- ies has been launched by Agri- culture Secretary Orville Free- man. In effect, he's saying in speech after speech around the country that the countryside is worth living in. Half the 196,000,000 U.S. resi- dents would like to live outside mteropolitan areas but only a third do, says Freeman. "Each year, another 3,000,000 Americans pour into our cities. And with each incoming wave, 1,000,000 more acres of fields, woods and hills near urban cen- tres are inundated by asphalt, concrete, shopping centres and housing developments." Freeman's campaign to right what he calls '"'this involuntary population imbalance" has eco- nomic, social and racial over- tones. They are linked with the U.S. war on poverty and its. concern about mounting crime and race violence. Technological change in rural sections of the United States in farming, mining and lumbering has sharply increased migration to the city, says Freeman. Be- tween 1940 and 1950, 11,000,000 Americans quit the farms. MOVED TO GHETTOS One estimate says that 2,000,- 000 Negroes alone since 1950 left the rural South for crowded northern slum ghettos and the flow continues. Few had skills and many of their offspring to- day have been absorbed by their slum environment. Yet half the U.S. poor live in the countryside and Freeman has been urging a redirection of the huge U.S. expenditures on defence, space and other gov- ernment - financed industries to encourage more dispersion of in- dustrial plants to provide jobs, Freeman says four of every five of the anticipated .300,000,- 000 Americans living in the year 2000 may well be "crammed into five super-strip cities'? un- less action is taken. He notes that photographs taken from space plainly indi- cate a solid human mass stretching 500 miles from Chi- cago to Buffalo, or 800 miles from Richmond, Va., to Bangor, Me. There are 35,000,000 Ameri- cans today in a narrow strip running from Washington to Boston on the eastern seaboard. ' BIBLE "Let this mind be, in which was also in Jesus."' Philippians 2:5.

UMM By Jack Gearin Pilkey Starts Ball Rolling In Riding Race THE POLITICAL pot is start- ing to boil in Oshawa riding pro- vineial, at long last While everyone waits for the big nod from Premier Robarts as to that election date, the NDP's Clifford Pilkey has dec- ided to swing into action. He has decided to knock on doors around Oshawa (which has 23,691 residential units, in- cidentially) '"'to spread the word". This can be a frustrating, time - consuming and exhaus- tive political exercise, but it also has been known to pay some big dividends come elect- fon day - many voters-to-be are simply flattered when a can- didate takes the trouble to knock on his front door 'to spread the word'? even when the political philosophy expoun- ded conflicts with his own. Mr. Pilkey, making his debut in the provincial arena as a candidate after long service in the trade union and municipal fields, knows full well that Osh- awa riding can only be won by hard work. He will be busy the next few weeks giving his ave a good demonstra- views on automobile insurance, municipal taxation, housing and the auto pact (which, he bel- jeves, are the four major local issues). The PC's have also been get- ting their Oshawa riding pro- vincial machine well oiled for the battle ahead with member- ship meetings and social af- fairs but the Liberals have as yet announced no date for a nomination meeting or have they given the slightest indica- tion of who their candidate may be. This same indecision has plagued the 'Provincial riding Liberals here for several years, at great cost to the party on election day. There seems to be a lack of organization when the chips are down. SO RUSSELL McNeil will soon retire as secretary - treasurer of Local 222, UAW - CLC? Retirements/are commonplace in the fast = changing political world of Local 222, but Mc- Neil's will leave many with genuine regret. One thing is for certain - the Union Hall on Bond street will never seem the same again without him sitting at that desk in the little He room off the main hall. His departure will also mark the end of a colorful and pro- gressive chapter in the Local's history, one in which he played an influential role. McNeil started at General Motors in 1928. In 1937 he joined Local 222 as one of 300 union stewards and started his long ascent up the ladder. He has held the highest pos- itions in '222, including that of the presidency from 1954 to 1957, when he won an acclam- ation to the secretary - treas- urer's post, which he has held since. The rough - and - ready polit- {cal world of Local 222 is no place for the faint - of - heart, and McNeil has survived it well through the long years. He has had reverses, but his popularity has been an enduring thing. He has been an able admin- istrator, leader; but perhaps his most enduring trademark was his capacity for friendship, even with those on the other side of the political fence, tion of his popularity outside the union last Dec. 5 when he ran 9th. with 6,722 votes in his first bid for an aldermanic seat. THE BOARD of Control has been taking a long, hard look at the Oshawa Airport. The best guess around City Hall is that the board will recommend its purchase from the Department of Transport from which it is leased by the City. Some people complain about those yearly airport deficits from $12,000 to $16,000 for which the city is liable, but the fact remains that the airport is an essential city service, as well as an investment for the future, Former Alderman Walter Lane would sometimes severly criticize his council colleagues for not making what he termed "a searching reappraisal of the whole airport set - up in re- gards to revenues lost' Mr. Lane contended that the City was derelict in not getting more revenue from the prop- erty, but his suggestions were always ignored. sembly to discuss financing for peacekeeping operations. Little importance is attached to this forthcoming gathering which is expected to produce little. Not that it matters; without any real agreement on how fo finance peacekeeping, such peacekeeping as is tolerable to the great powers goes on in the Middle East, Cyprus or Kash- mir. The money comes from vol- unteer contributions as, in ef- fect, it always has. The General Assembly never has been able to extract payment from unwill- ing powers of any importance, The United States attempted, for some years, to use majority General Assembly votes in mak- ing Russia and France pay willy nilly.

INSIGNIFICANCE Thus the U.S. now Is back to acting only by the unanimous agreement of the great powers as the charter provides. The small powers which had profited much in the period of great power dissension discover they no longer are courted or bribed for their votes. The new nations are finding out that as in the past, the weak do not inhert the earth, and they mind bitterly. The employees of the secre- tariat are more easily resigned to insignificance than are the delegates of weak nations. Briefly, while Russia and Amer- ica bitterly fought their cold war, there was a vacuum in which U.S. employees acted al- most independently be cause they could not depend on get- ting agreed directions from the superpowers and things had to be done. The U.S. under Ham- marskjold was becoming a secu- lar Vatican. It did not last. America now approves Rus- sian efforts to settle the differ- ences between India and Paki- Stan, applauds Kosygin's at- tempt to end the Vietnam con- flict; these are tasks that would once have been entrusted to the U.N. Secretary General and his staff. Now the international civil servants are back to doing the routine jobs for which they were hired, important jobs, but without the excitement of centre stage. Workmen Sent By Douglas To Construct By BOB BOWMAN After the Hudson's Bay Co. took over its bitter rival, the North West Co., in 1821, it con- trolled a huge area on the Pa- cific coast. It was known as the Columbia department and com- prised present-day Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, part of Montana, and southern British Columbia. Then the Americans began pouring in and the Hudson's Bay Co.. could see the handwriting on the wall. In fact the Amer- icans began chanting a warlike slogan '54; 40 or fight'? mean- ing they wanted all the Pacific coast territory to Alaska. Fort Vancouver, near Port- land, Oregon, had been the prin- ciple trading post, but Governor Simpson ordered his chief factor there, James Douglas, to look for anew headquarters farther North. Douglas made a survey in 1842, and recommended the port of Camosack on the south- ern tip of Vancouver Island, He said "The place itself appears a perfect Eden in the midst of the dreary wilderness of the North West coast." His recommendation was ap- proved, and Douglas landed a party of workmen at Camosack on March 13, 1843, to begin building Fort Victoria. Douglas himself went north, visited Fort Fort Victoria Taku and Fort McLoughlin, and brought back more men and materials to-Fort Victoria. It was an unusually dry sum- mer and by October the work- men had built two houses, a large storehouse and a three- storey bastion armed with guns. The area surrounded by a wall of cedar pickets 18 feet high. It was the beginning of the future capital of British Colum- bia. OTHER MARCH 14 EVENTS 1682 -- LaSalle claimed the mouth of the Arkansas River for France. 1782--Sir John Johnson was placed in charge of the Indians in Canada. 1791--The Canada Act (Con- stitutional Act) became law. 1864--J. S. Macdonald govern- ment resigned and was replaced by government under Sir Etienne Tache and John A. Macdonald. 1879--Tilley's Tariff National Policy went into effect. 1892--Royal Commission ap- pointed to investigate liquor in Canada. 1907--Technical schools were established in Montreal and Quebec. 1916 -- Women were granted the right to vote in Saskatche- wan, CHAIN REACTION Bed, Board Privileges Lost In Park By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Beat my wife but don't take away my perquisites! - It is one of the facts of life of politics that the privileges that go with office are held dearly. And this, mare than anything else, it seems is probably at the heart of the somewhat comic opera situation in the Niagara Parks situation which has seen the Niagara Parks Commission in revolt. The members of this commis- sion all serve without remuner- ation. The one compensation they have had has been the use of bedrooms at the refrectory and the privilege of entertaining guests at commission expense. James Allan was named chairman of the commission early this winter and one of his first official acts was to sweep out the bedrooms. He announced that there was to be extensive renovation in the refrectory, where the bedrooms were located. They would be replaced by a big cocktail bar and an execu- tive suite for VIP visitors to the province. The members of the commis- sion nominated by the province -- there also are municipal rep- resentatives--said none of this, they would quit. It was free sheets or nothing, and they sent in letters of resignation. ALLAN GENTLEMAN Superficially the blame for this is being placed on Mr. Allan, who it is said was being arbitrary and dictatorial with the commission. There would be much more than this to it, however, As the treasurer here for years Mr. Allan is used to say- ing what will be done, And as the long-tiine chair- man of treasury board, where ministers and government offi- cials have to fight for their money, he has the habit of firmness. But also the former treasurer has always been a complete gentleman and you can't visual- ize him as being either arbi- trary enough or aggressive to the point where he would be so resented that resignations would be inevitable. More likely is that the loss of perquisites, and of face, was be- hind the thinking of the exiting commissioners. NEED VIP QUARTERS? Insofar as the basic project of making an impressive suite at the refectory for VIP's is con- cerned it would seem to be worthwhile. There is always some public criticism of this type of govern- ment spending. Some years ago it probably wouldn't have been acceptable at all. But times have changed, and the fact is that the province doesn't have anything of this nature now. And most other jurisdictions do have some suit- able quarters where visiting dignitaries can be entertained.
