She Oshawa Simes 86 King St. E, Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, Oshawa, Ontario FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1967 The decision of the Wilson gov- ernment this week again to seek entry for Britain in the European Common Market has produced a re- sounding and disturbing impact. Although it will be Britain's second attempt, the implications of the move emerge more starkly this time. It represents a revolutionary step. The Common Market link would take priority over most of the countries' previous associations. Its traditional policies will literally go out of the window. For instance, for practical purposes the Common- wealth connection will be at an end. The European association will also most certainly have to take preced- ence over the special status Britain has held with the U.S. At home Britons will be faced with the risk of devaluation of the pound, higher food prices and the likelihood of completely overhaul- ing its farm system. Abroad, large- dy on the insistence of France, Brit- ain will be relinquishing much of its role as a global power. East.of Suez © The Ontario Economie Council has released & report on a survey of fmanufacturers established in On- fario which shows that those lo- Gated in smaller centres outside Metro are generally satisfied with their lot. And, if they had it to do over again would in all likelihood establish in the same centres. The report points out that vastly improved highways have eliminated the handicaps of days past.

These circumstances have been weighed, not once, but twice now by the British government and the decision has been reached that the Common Market move is a neces- sity. As a Commonwealth member with the closest ties with Britain in trade and community of interest, Canada will also be forced to face a serious time of decision, too. The Canadian problem is serious, too. Controversy already swirls' over our economic associations with the United States and the concern for the pressure that can result on Canadian institutions. Now with the counter - balance of the Common- wealth link largely severed, our trade is destined to greater contin- ental orientation. The British economic move is al- ready being discussed in terms of wider political overtones. For Can- ada, the trend to greater trade with 'the south can carry similar grave implications for us, Better Of Both Right Here Jess absenteeism in the labor force. The council makes mention of some of the factors which led the manufacturers interviewed to es- tablish their plants in the smaller cities. The considerations were the availability of recreational facili- ties, a ready source of labor, raw material and components, and the support of local municipalities, House accommodation and avail- able mortgage money were, of course, also considerations. In whatever way the report is interpreted it offers selling points for communities like Oshawa in the quest for industry as well as guide- lines for the encouragement of in- terest. Hardly a small centre and hardly remote from Metro, this city: is positioned to offer the newcomer the better of both situations. While smaller centres can provide varied entertainment, for instance, the at- traction of the big city cannot whol- ly be discounted. Here the local fare can be quickly augmented by a short trip to Toronto. In a business sensé, the proximity to the large centre is also an advantage. On the basis of the findings in the survey Oshawa can offer indus- tries. everything that keeps them happy in smaller more remote cities plus the advantages of Metro with- out the disadvantages of actually being constantly caught up in the hurly-burly of the big town, OTTAWA REPORT Cabinet Of Future Team Of Experts By PATRICK NICHOLSON Will we soon see business management adapted to the re- quirements of Canada's biggest business -- the federal govern- ment? If there is one thing which has been clearly demonstrated during the past few years on Parliament Hill, it is that gov- ernment has become so compli- cated, so pervasive, and con- cerned with so many different specialized subjects, that an all- powerful head of government would need to be a superman. And Canadian public life is rather arid of supermen. In fact, we are, as a corollary of widespread government inter- vention, moving towards mana- gerial government. The system of direction by a board of di- rectors, which i: good for Gen- eral Motors, would be even bet- ter on Parliament Hill. In the much more limited field of government at the beginning of our first hundred years, our federal cabinet could well be dominated and personified by a rugged and colourful individual- ist 'such as Sir John A. Mac- donald. But at this beginning of our second hundred years, we find that the need is for a chair- man supported by a diverse board of directors. This implies that the prime minister should have around him competent di- rectors, bringing to council a broad spectrum of experience and expertise, such as govern- ment today requires. SHOULD BE TEAM Thus, although we shall still have a nominal government leader, he should in truth be-- as the name "prime minister" suggests--"primus inter pares" or "the first among equals." To morrow's federal cabinet will ideally be a team, rather than one dominant kite with a long tail, or one prima donna with an anonymous chorus--a chorus sometimes sought or even moulded as their prima donna to play the role of yes-men rather than team- mates or equals. This increasingly obvious need is inevitably weighed by many thinking parliamentarians against the most immediate sit- uation--the coming leadership choice facing the Conservative party. Apart from Dief their Chief, the Conservatives have no less than 33 other members of the Diefenbaker cabinet. Of these, one today is a lieutenant-gover- nor; four sit in the Senate; four- teen sit in the House of Com- mons, and fourteen others have returned to private life--some perhaps only temporarily. Among the senators, Wallace McCutcheon certainly has out- standing experience, ability and energy to offer in the service of his country and his party. Among those not now active in Parliament, two may well have a political future even brighter than the promise of their par- liamentary past: Donald Flem- ing and Paul Martineau. All those now in the House of Com- mons are certainly capable and presumably ready to give of their best. The Conservatives thus have an obvious nucleus of at least 17 experienced and capable for- mer ministers. Man for man and collectively, they compare interestingly with the best min- isters in the present Pearson cabinet. As examples: In fi- nance, Fleming or Sharp? In economic affairs, McCutcheon or Gordon? In trade, Hees or Winters? In defence, Harkness or Hellyer? In justice, Fulton or Trudeau? In agriculture, Hamil- ton or Greene? In labor, Starr or Marchand? In health, Mon- teith or MacEachen? In fisher- ies, MacLean or Robichaud? In veterans affairs, Churchill or Teillet? While both parties can count «some pre-eminents, that comparison impressively con- veys the consistency of the Con- servative team; what they re- quire is a Number One--obvi- ously not a prima donna, but a chairman of the board. This concept may well moder- ate, influence and even direct the whole approach of the Con- servative party to its leadership search, With that massive in- dividual strength among its vet- eran ministers, quite apart from what is expected to emerge as rookies, surely one stands out as a suitable chairman? Staggering Political Import To U.K. In Common Market By KEN PRITCHARD Canadian Press Staff Writer Admission of Britain to the European Common Market, if and when it occurs, holds polit- ical potential that staggers the imagination. In advance of Prime Minister Wilson's Tuesday announce- ment of Britain's new bid for membership, a great deal was written about probable' eco- nomic effects, which in the short term may be rather dras- tic for Britain and call for the reshaping of much of her export patterns. Parallel to this debate, some heavy thinking has been going on about the future of Britain and Europe politically. Last week Canadian - born Lord Thomson, the broadcast- ing and publishing magnate, told the Economic Club of New York that what is being formed in Europe--if present unifying steps come to fruition--is a new super-nation which will take its place alongside the United States as a world power. The 1957 Treaty of Rome linked France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, The Nether- lands and Luxembourg in a free-trade bloc, which some of its most distinguished spokes- men regarded as the forerunner of a new European nation, linked by a federal system: of government. The European Common Mar- ket, with its assembly, council and various economic agencies, now gives its six member coun- tries a common policy in all important fields except defence and foreign affairs. The European Free Trade As- sociation, which came into op- eration in 1960, has economic aims only. Its members 'are Britain, Austria, Denmark, Nor- way, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland. The EFTA's main objective, progressive reduction of trade tariffs between mem- ber countries, has been achieved three years before the 1970 target date. Public opinion in Britain, long a world trader, readily accepts steps to promote trade. It is harder for the average Briton to approve the idea of yielding any of his country's sover- eignty. oon "ONTARIO SHOWED WAY -- Era Of Money-Bylaw Referendum Fades BOARD TOOK OVER By TOM CLARIDGE TORONTO (CP) -- The era of the money-bylaw_refer- endum in Canadian munici- palities is passing, thanks to an Ontario experiment under- taken more than 60 years ago. In 1906 the Conservative provincial government of Pre- mier Sir James Whitney de- cided to create the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board to deal with a welter of dis- putes between. provincially- incorporated railways and the municipalities through which they ran. : The disputes either were settled by the board or van- ished with the disappearance of electric railways. But the board lived on because of two functions given it in 1906 al- most as an afterthought. One was the hearing of assess- ment appeals and the other the alteration of municipal boundaries. One of the new board's first jobs was to rule on a con- tentious application by Tor- onto to annex the affluent sub- urb of Rosedale. The city won. The opposition leader in 1906, Liberal George Ross, had argued against creation of the new board on two grounds still used by oppo- nents of government tribun- als. He said the government was onlv sloughing off respon- sibility and suggested that in the long run there wouldn't be enough work for a perma- nent board as conditions changed. Decline of the electric rail- ways did reduce the board's workload in the 1920s bu the situation changed drastically in the depression years. In 1932 the board was given a@ new name and the respon- sibility of supervising the fi- nancial affairs of 40-odd mu- nicipalities that had defaulted on debt repayment. The Ontario Municipal Board, as it was called, at the same time war empow- ered to veto capital spending by municipalities which pre- viously had required only ratepayer approval through a referendum. ; An ancillary clause allowed the board in some cases to dispense with the money-by- law referendums. If depression ¢conomies re- duced the capital spending by Ontario's municipalities, the Second World War brought it virtually to a halt, creating a giant backlog of projects by the war's end. The need for a fast, effec- tive response by municipali- ties to the post-war boom dic- tated widespread use of the municipal board's discretion, Almost overnight the money; bylaw referendum dis- appeared from the Ontario scene, Few mourned its passing, the argument being that mu- nicipal councils and a board special zing in municipal . & h nancing were far better equipped than the general electorate to weigh the pros and cons of new schools and sewer systems, The idea spread to other provinces and today only Brit- ish Columbia and Manitob still require referendums on all capital spending. Daniel Campbell, B.C.'s municipal affairs minister, says his province has no in- tention of supplanting the di- rect democracy of the. refer- endum. However, one of the Ontario Municipal Board's powers, ex- ercise of a veto over capital spending projects, is exercised in B.C. by the Inspector of Municipalities. Manitoba has a municipal board but its only present function is the hearing of as- sessment appeals from local courts of revision. In Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and New Brunswick boards similar to the OMB have power to dispense with the referendums, while in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland the power is exercised directly by the provincial governments. It remains a moot point whether the other provinces will follow Ontario's lead in giving the municipal board a wide range of powers apart from money matters. CAN ORDER ' MERGERS The OMB's long-held power te alter municipal boundaries ca today has a counterpart in the jurisdiction of Alberta's Local Authorities Board and a new New Brunswick Jaw which permits the province to order municipal mergers. But elsewhere annexations and amalgamations must be preceded by votes of the elec- torate with the usual result being a 'no' vote by those living in wealthy suburbs that have become tax havens in metropolitan areas. In contrast, the OMB re- cently has approved almost every application by an On- tario city or town to annex communities within its trad- ing areas. Assessment appeals are heard by boards in Al- berta, Saskatchewan, Mani- toba, New Brunswick and Newfoundland. In B:€., Que- bec, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. appeals go to the courts. Much of the OMB's time these days is taken up with a function acquired in 1946 with the passage of Ontario's Planning Act. The board now approves all municipal plan- ning bylaws and subsequent applications for rezoning. Boards exercise power in zoning matters in Manitoba and P.E.I. and a similar pro- cess is planned ,in Alberta, Municipal affairs depart- ments handle the matter di- rectly in Saskatchewan and Newfoundland but elsewhere there is no such policing of municipal soning laws. of oc P.C. LEADERSHIP RAcE STRIP TEASE FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS -- Westmoreland Candidacy By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst "I hate the thought of 1968," a U.S. senator told me, "having to choose between Lyndon B. Johnson and William C. West- moreland." Westmoreland, of course, is the U.S. commander in Vietnam and if he ran, he would be the first military candidate who could neither speak of past vic- tories or promise peace soon, as Eisenhower promised, at least by implication, when he said during the 1952 campaign: "I will go to Korea." It is because of these disqual- ifications, that Tom Wicker, the distinguished bureau chief of the New York Times in Wash- -- ington, dismisses Gen. West- moreland as a conceivable can- didate in 1968. Westmoreland, Wicker points out, defends John- s0n's decision to limit the Viet- nam war and also says that this war will last for many years; thus he could not run as a peace candidate and if not, in what would he be different to Lyndon Johnson? To be different all Westmore- land, the candidate, would have to say is that freed of the mili- tary obligation to agree with his president and commander-in- chief, he can at last tell the people that the war in Vietnam will end quickly if American military technology is not shackled by Lyndon Johnson's restrictions. MORE BOMBING This, incidentally, is no idle speculation; several powerful men of the Republican party have discussed the Westmore- land candidacy. His basic ad- vantage lies in a Gallup Poll figure which shows that 68 per cent of all Americans would like to see the bombing stepped up, not out of cruelty but to end the war quickly; the 68 per cent figure is also an expression of the Americans' faith that all problems can be solved with more effort, more money and more "know-how." The task for the Republican image-makers would be to pre- sent Westmoreland much like a surgeon who advocates the knife to effect a cure; at the same time, they would have him em- phasize in his speeches that the end of the war would release resources for constructive work, in urban renewal, education, health. Gen. Westmoreland is a south- erner which would not harm him at all below the Mason Dixon line. He can also point YEARS AGO 35 YEARS AGO, May 5, 1932 Mayor Thomas Hawkes has received' word that the Gov- ernor - General His Excellency and Lady Bessborough will be in Oshawa on May 19. A former Oshawa boy, W. J. Salter, principal of Gt. Catha- rines Collegiate was the guest speaker of the Rotary Club at Lockport, N.Y. and was greatly praised by the Americans for his speech on America First. BIBLE "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ." Ephesians 2:13 Only the death of Christ made the difference and brought de- liverance. "'Without the shed- ding of blood there is no re mission of eins." out to the strides in integration made by Negro servicemen un- der his command. On other things he can be quite vauge, provided the Republican assem- ble around him an impressive staff of experts for difficult technical subjects. He would also have the ad- vantage of not being Lyndon Johnson whose credibility prob- lems could be skillfully stressed in republican campaign liter- ature. Did not Lyndon Johnson think of these possibilities when he bathed. Westmoreland in lime- light? Mr. Johnson is obviously convinced that Westmoreland has no political ambition, just as Truman was convinced Ike did not want the presidency. Dumont Led Riel's Rebels Against Army Gatling Guns By BOB BOWMAN On May 5, 1885, the tide of battle on the Prairies was be- ginning to turn against Riel and Dumont, and Indian. chiefs, Poundmaker and Big Bear. The - river-steamship Northcote. car- rying men and equipment ar- rived at General Middleton's headquarters at Clark Crossing . on the South Saskatchewan River. The Northcote had prac- tically crawled all the way from Medicine Hat, and took a week to make the journey that can be covered in three hours by train. The water in the river was low because the spring flood had not begun. The ship had to haul itself over sandbars. Gen. Middleton wrote: "The long expected steamer arrived after a tedious voyage, most of which seems to have been made on land. All the steamers are stern - wheelers and have four strong spars fastened, two on each side of the boy, by a sort of hinge. These spars are lowered when the vessel runs on a shoal or sandbar, and the vessel is forced over; made to walk, as it were. The Saskatchewan river boats evidently were the fore- runners of the amphibious tanks used in the Second World War. USED GATLING GUN One of the passengers on the Northcote was a Captain How- ard of the United States Army. He had brought two Gatling guns to be used by Gen. Middle- ton. The gatling gun was an early type of machine gun, and Howard was to instruct the sol- diers how to use it. He found the trip on the Northcote so slow that he left the ship several times and went hunting for antelope. However, the arrival of the guns encouraged Gen. Middle- ton to resume his march towards Batoche, headquarters of the rebel force. For some strange reason he divided his force of 800: men and had half march down the other side of the river which was difficult to cross. This had the effect of reducing his own strength by half. Riel and Dumont had spies among Middleton's men and were getting constant reports about their slow progress. One of the spies was Jerome Henry, a freighter in Middleton's own wagon train. Dumont, who acted as Riel's military leader, was able to ar- range a hot reception for Mid- dleton's force, but did not have enough men or ammuntion to hold on for long. OTHER MAY 5 EVENTS: 1660--Bishop Laval d that people who sold liquor to the Indians would be excom- municated. 1665 --Twelve horese were brought to Quebec. 1759--Admiral Durell sailed from Halifax to block the St. Lawrence before Wolfe's attack on Quebec. 1813--Sir James Yeo arrived at Quebec with 450 seamen. 1814--Yeo attacked Oswego, N.Y 1859 --New Westminster-- named later--made. capital of British Columbia. 1929 --CNR radio operators achieved two - way telephone service on trains. 1945--German forces in the Netherlands surrendered to Ca- nadian Army. . DEEN'S PARK Spring Vote Likelihood Dwindles conjecture is on how long the Ontario legislature session will it last. Only the hardiest optimists are holding any hopes of a spring election any longer. ~ And the big concern among the members now is how long they will have to stay here and chew over business as the grass gets green and the days grow warmer. é It would appear they will be chewing for quite a while yet, since there is a big bundle of business still to come before the house--possibly enough to carry the session beyond th July 1 holiday for. the secon time in history. Last year shop didn't shut until July 8. At the time of writing the house is still discussing the health department estimates, with indications it will spen some time yet on this depart- ment. STILL TO SHOW And most of the big issue' de- partments are still to make their annual appearance. ; Under the practice followed here for some years now, each department is the subjéect of a major debate and intensive grilling when its estimates are presented for approval. Among those still to come is welfare. With a new minister, John Yaremko, a real battler when there's a fight in the wind, it could provide some fireworks. ' Then both education and tinf- versity affairs, representing close to half of all government spending, have to defend them- selves. The education estimates will give the Liberals an opening to push their argument that the province should pay 80 per cent of the cost of education--an argument which, it seems, they intend to make their main elec- tion pitch in this year of big local tax increases. Hon. Wilfred Spooner -has. to still bring his municipal affairs votes before the house, and probably will come under strong criticism for not pushing muni- cipal reorganization more ag- gressively. Mr. Spooner has been taking a steady but patient approach to the problem of bringing in larger units of local govern- ment, ' Then, in addition to other less important departments still to come up on estimates, there are other debates scheduled, par- ticularly the promised discus- sion of Premier Robart's motion to call a Confederation of To- morrow conference. Bhs There are obviously a number of major arguments left, and it will probably be several weeks at least before the business of the session can be wound up. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRES# May 5, 1967... é France allied herself with the rebellious American col- onies against Britain 189 years ago today--in 1778-- and the future independence of the United States was assured. With the French navy and arms factories, the Americans could defy British land and sea power and felt free to turn down peace offers from London.
