She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1967 Canada Rated Winner 'In Key Kennedy Round General enthusiasm in Canada "has greeted the gains made by this _country in the lengthy Kennedy Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade completed last 'week. Experts sorting the com- é an ; plexities of the agreements esti- mate reductions in customs duties ' will average 33 to 35 per cent. The target set for the four years of negotiations was a 50 per cent reduction. This was a highly optim- istic aim and the results attained far surpass previous achievements in world tariff talks. The new world trade pact is des- eribed by Trade Minister Robert Winters as the most important one of its kind in this century. It is the most ambitious ever undertak- en. For Canada it will mean lower- ing of tariffs affecting five billion dollars worth of our trade. The major benefit will come in better terms in sales to our No, 1 custom- er, the U.S. Canada achieved not only great benefits from individual bargain- ing but higher prices under the new three-year wheat agreement amounting to 21 cents Canadian per bushel, linked with a new in- ternational program to set aside 500,000,000 bushels of wheat to feed the world's hungry. Major Canadian goals at the talks were maximum reduction in U.S. tariffs and a substantially bet- ter wheat agreement. Trade Minis- ter Winters said he was satisfied on both counts. He told the Com- mons U.S. tariff concession will enable producers to sell goods form- erly priced out of the U.S. market, and would benefit Canadian indus- try and industrial development, agriculture and fisheries. Maximum benefits to Canada will depend 'to some extent on how well manufacturers and producers take advantage of the new trading ar- rangements, The pact is not a one- way street. Under the agreement Canada must cut her tariffs which will require Canadian manufactur- ers to compete with foreign-made goods. It is possible that some in- dustries may find themselves in a poorer competitive position. The results of the tariff reduc. tions will not be immediately no- gradually over the next four years. The jarring of home industry will be avoided. Benefits will occur slowly and in many instances im- perceptibly. However, the average Canadian will undoubtedly benefit through reduced prices in many o2 the foreign-made goods and some of the Canadian products protected by tariff walls as well. Danger In Closing Court A disconcerting note has been struck by Solicitor-General Pen- nell in outlining amendments to the Juvenile Delinquents Acts which "will be considered by the House of Commons probably this fall. The amendments will be based on recommended revisions present- ed by a committee of five federal officials under the chairmanship of the Penitentiaries Commissioner, Allen J. MacLeod. The disturbing factor is the introduction of the dangerous word "closed" in the recommendation dealing with juve- 'nile court sessions. At present the law is flexible on this matter.

Many judges exercise this option, as The London Free Press notes, and it is too valu- able to discard. The Free Press draws attention to the axiomatic situation in a dems ocratie country such as ours: The press is the public's representative, reporting the actions of many pub- lic bodies on which individual citi. zens are unable to attend, and the courts are one of the most impor- tant of these bodies. No accused person can be assured of justice unless his trial is subject to public scrutiny. That's one side of a sound coin, The other of more contentious still: It is that rather than closing juve- nile hearings completely, the other extreme might well be considered-- open them to the same unrestricted coverage now given to the court cases involving adults. The time seems past when juve- nile courts were involved only in the actions of youngsters commit- ting minor misdemeanors. Many of the offenders who first appear in juvenile courts carry on into the realm of gravely serious crimes. If the publicity of press coverage serves as a deterrent to crime, then that deterrent might better be ap- plied at the earliest. stage possible to provide full value to society. OTTAWA REPORT Commons Dull, Almost Deserted By PATRICK NICHOLSON ' OTTAWA -- The House of Commons is dull, demure and almost deserted in this new session. This is the 11th anni- versary of the piepline debate; what a contrast were those rowdy, venomous and crowd. attracting days and nights! One of the veterans of that unparalleled Parliamen- tary storm has been revisiting Parliament Hill this week. This was Alistair Stewart of Winni- peg, the one-time foreign af- fairs critic for the CCF. He re- marked on the many changes which have taken place here since those spring days of 1956; even the name of his party has changed. There have been five elec- tions at short intervals since the pipeline debate, and the turnover of MPs has been im- mense. Among today's 265 MPs, there are only 34 who sat through those historic days. Of those, four then were--and now again are--in the cabinet: Les- ter Pearson, Paul Martin, Bob Winters and Jack Pickersgill. Of the other 30, 13 are now privy councillors. Three of those pipeline veterans now lead their parties in the House: Lester Pearson, John Diefen- baker and Alec Patterson of the Socreds, Of the 231 who have. moved off the Commons scene, one is now our Governor - General; three others are provincial lieutenant governors, Eart Rowe of Ontario, George Pearkes of B.C. and Hugues La- pointe of Quebec. Three have served as Canadian high com- missioners abroad: Roly Mich- ener, now Governor - General, George Drew and Milton Gregg. Two -- Jean Lesage and Ross Thatcher--have won election as provincial premier. Nine have been appointed to the Senate and one, former finance minis- ter Walter Harris, has just been appointed a director of Thom- son Newspapers. Many have died, starting with the popular Jack MacDougall of Vancouver who dropped dead in the Parlia- ment Building the day after the great debate ended. It was of course not about pipelines; it was really all about freedom of speech. The Liberal government had won 170 seats in the previous elec- tions, contrasted with 51 Con- servatives, 23 CCF and 15 So- cial Creditors, plus six Inde- pendents, That powerful steam- roller of course could not be halted -- "who's to stop us?" asked Trade Minister C. D. Howe. But when he insisted Bill C-298, to incorporate the Northern Ontario section of the Trans-Canada pipeline, should be passed in 17 days, and ime posed closure on the debate be- fore it had even started, the fracas began. Remember how one of the Conservative big guns, Donald Fleming, was 'suspended from the service of the House for the remainder of the day's sit- ting'? His crime was that he argued the right of any MP to speak; after 19 abortive at- tempts within five minutes to be heard on the usually imme- diate topic of privilege, he re- fused to sit down the Speaker rose--and the Liberals voted to throw him out. While his col- leagues draped the red ensign over his empty seat, he re- ceived a thunderous greeting from hundreds of his supporters : when he reached home. What ever happened to that charming Rene Beaudoin, who for three years had proved himself a popular, fair and most knowledgeable Speaker? Yet during those stormy days his political career was killed stone dead, and he suffered the mortification of hearing a mo- tion calling for his removal from the Chair, Ah me. Huge crowds of spec- tators; sittings until the wee hours; and no less than 71 counted votes in those 17 days, many concerned with the clang of the guillotine falling on free- dom to speak. After one vote MPs announced "pairs" which had restrained them from vo- ting; Alistair Stewart aptly said; 'Mr. Speaker, I was paired with Madame Defarge, who presided at the guillotine (in the French revolution), 'American' Matches Dollar In Australian MELBOURNE (CP) -- Play a game of word association with Australian businessmen these days and the immediate reac- tion to the word 'American' would be "dollars."" No sooner had news of plans to bring American troops from Vietnam to Australia for furs lough been published than esti- mates were being made of what this would mean in money. It was estimated that each American soldier brought to Australia for rest and recupera- tion would have more than $350 to spend in six days. If 100,000 Americans spent their furlough here in a year, they would leave behind $35,000,000. Comparing this sum with Aus- tralia's total tourist income of $59,000,000 in 1965-66 made tour- ist officials giddy with excite- ment. Right now, Australia has a deficit on its tourist business. Last year Australians going ov- erseas on holiday or business spent $63,000,000 more than the tourists who visited this country brought in. A four - man American army team has been discussing with Australian officials how the fur- lough could be arranged. The plan is to fly up to 12,000 Amer- ican troops a month from Viet- nam to Australia in chartered jet airliners. OST SYDNEY AREA When the soldiers step off the planes, they will be treated just like any other tourists. They will wear civilian clothes, go where they want and stay where they want. But they will be advised that the best places for them are Sydney and its surrounding Association areas and the Queensland Gold Coast. The Queensland resort is a 20-mile stretch of golden beach, warm Pacific surf and gaudily painted motels. But Sydney will appeal most to troops looking for fun and relaxation. Beaches only a few miles from the city centre are among the best in Australia and the night life is in a class of its own. Meantime, the Australian cab- inet has been faced with this problem: If Americans can be flown to Australia from Viet- nam, why can't Australian troops, too? Some government ministers and army chiefs objected that it would be emotionally disturb- ing to return soldiers from a battlefront to spend a few days with their families and then fly them back to the war again. But these objections are not equal to the political pressures that would be created if fami- lies of Australian soldiers in Vietnam started asking why their boys couldn't be flow home if Americans could spend their leave here. So it is almost certain Australian soldiers will, later this year, be flying back on furlough. BIBLE "And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people."

(easpgeveteneenenrene senna png eet EGYPTIAN FORCES ALONG GULF SLIM NECK OF WATER Threat Posed To Israeli Trade Gateway By CARL MOLLINS Reports that Egyptian forces intend to control shipping in the 125-mile-long Gulf of Aqaba pose a threat to a vital Israeli trade gateway. Egyptian interference with the channel in the vital Strait of Tiran linking the gulf with the Red Sea was one rea- son for Israel's 'invasion of Egypt in 1956. At the head of the gulf stands Eilath, one of Israel's three major ports and Israel's only practical outlet for trade with Asia, Australasia and East Af- rica. An estimated 90 per cent of Israel's oil requirements of be- tween 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 tons annually pass through Ei- lath. Apart from oil, about five per cent of Israel's trade--in- cluding exports of Dead Sea chemicals. and manufactured goods--are handled through the port. Eilath, created by Israel on an empty coastal site in 1948, is close to the Timna' copper mines, said to be on the site of King Solomon's famotis minés, It also has become a thriving tourist centre, The Strait of Tiran is only 1,300 feet wide and all shipping insular campaign in November, 1956. In an ideal spot for swimming. the meantime, Eilath has to and from Eilath must pass through this slim neck of water. About 95 miles south of Filath, where the gulf joins the Red Sea, shipping must pass within a half mile of the Sinai Desert shoreline of Egypt, navigating channels through treacherous coral reefs in the Strait of Tiran between the mainland and Tiran Island. TENSION PACKED With the withdrawal of the United Nations Emergency Force, Egyptian troops could use artillery to enforce a block- ade of the Tiran Strait from gun sites at Ras Nasrani and Sharm el Sheikh, on the southeastern coast of Sinai, and from the is- lands of Tirana and Sinapur at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba. After the Arab-Israeli war of 1948-49, Egyptian shore batteries stationed at these strategic points barred the strait to ship- ping bound to or from Eilath, then a garrison settlement of about 1,000, for eight years-- until Israé1 troops occupied Sharm el Sheikh and the two islands during their Sinaj Pen- Israeli forces subsequently withdrew and handed over these atrongholds to United Nations forces. One of Israel's conditions for withdrawing from Sinai under a Canadian - proposed United. Na- tions settlement was that UN troops would occupy Shatm el Sheikh and observe the free passage of ships through the Tiran Strait. Until Egypt demanded the withdrawal of UN troops from Sinai late last week, a small detachment of Yugoslav troops at Sharm el Sheikh and nearby Ras Nasrani had been keeping watch over the strait, logging the movement of ships. The otherwise unpopulated Outposts were supported on the spot by nine Canadian soldiers of the UN Emergency Force, including signals men who main- tained communications with Gaza and engineers who kept a water pump in order. RCAF Caribou planes attached to UNEF supplied the remote de- sert outpost, which was cele- brated among UNEF soldiers as grown to 13,000 people, with tax concessions to settlers who stay in Eilath for two years or more having helped increase the pop- ulation, Two miles away around the bay stands the community of Aqaba, Jordan's only seaport. Like Eilath, the Jordan port has become a boom town since 1956, growing to a city of about 40,- 000 from 8,000. The Jordanian government, like Israel's, has reason to feel anxiety about Egypt's announce- ment that it would control ship- ping in the Tiran Strait. King Hussein's government is under almost continuous attack in a propaganda war waged by - Egypt and its allies. Reports of the Egyptian an- nouncement said ships flying the Israeli flag or earrying strategic goods would be barred from the Gulf of Aqaba. About a dozen ships trading from Eilath are chartered by Israel from Greece, The Netherlands, Swe- den, Denmark and Liberia. Their freedom to continue de- pends on how Egypt interprets its warning in practice, "TT WAS JUST A LITTLE THING WHEN WE PLANTED IT" = aa FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS War And America's Soul By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst War hardens men's\souls; we were first told this in writing by Thucydides the great his- torian of ancient Greece; his warning is being repeated with rising anguish by Americans who fear their ethics are under- mined by conflict, especially by the type of conflict that followed the Second World War. For the first time since great religions in their rise challenged the ideological basis of sovie- ties and strained traditional loy- alties, communism, with the prestige of victory over the Nazis, became a threat to the basic loyalty that states expect of their citizens. Revolution and subversion were backed by Mos- cow, and terror too, as in East- ern Europe or during the Com- munist attempt to take Greece between 1945 and 1046. International communism seemed capable of any excess, any treachery to achieve its ends. A surprise military blow at the U.S. did not strike Amer- icans as inconceivable. They prepared to resist and prefer- ably to deter and contain. For the first time, the great North American republic found itself on a war footing in peace- time and found itself, more- over, worrying about the home front, about a fifth column. Loyalty became the quality most prized. VESTED INTERESTS Military missions were sent out, contingency plans against insurrections everywhere were elaborated. Vested interests de- veloped in the manufacuring of arms, in massive employment for trade unionists constructing these arms, fof politicians whose districts benefitted from such activity. Self-interest but- tressed by ideological justifica- tion is a potent force and such forces habitually stifle discus- sion that might threaten estab- lished patterns of activity. Another significant develop- ment was the buildup by the Americans of the world's most powerful spy network. Because Communist secret operations went beyond the mere gather- ing of information and dealt with subverting and overthrow- ing governments, the U.S. Cen- tral Intelligence Agency fol- lowed suit; from an intelligence agency it became an opera- tional agency, helping into posi- tions of power around the globe ingly loyal to those U.S. policies which dealt most directly with the Communist menace. "Conflict," says Senator Wil- liam Fulbright, "is a great lev- eler. The longer it goes on, the more undiscriminating people become in their choice of weap- ons; the more they find it nec- essary to set aside principle for the sake of principle. The more, therefore, antagonists come to resemble each other. ... In an age of conflict, the conduct of conflict becomes an end in it- self." And former president Harry Truman who established the C.I.A. says he is disturbed because it has become a policy- making arm of the government. What most alarms people like Senator Fulbright is that so many of his compatriots see lit- tle wrong in all this. Historic Dinner In Halifax Prior To Wolfe's Campaign By BOB BOWMAN Although May 24 was cele- brated in Canada for many years as Queen Victoria's birth- day, Halifax had an additional reason for marking it as a red- letter day. It was on May 24, 1758, that Brigadier James Wolfe gave a dinner at the Great Pontac Hotel, Halifax, owned by John Willis. It was the beginning of the end for France in North Amer- ica. Britain had sent an army of 12,000 men and a navy of 39 ships to capture Louisburg. If the great Cape Breton fortress fell quickly they were to go on and attack Quebec. The army was commanded by General Jeffrey Amherst, and James Wolfe was one of his brigadiers. The Navy was commanded by Admiral Edward Boscawen, and one of his officers was James Cook, who became more fa- mous later for his exploration of the Pacific coast. Amherst and Boscawen were friends and made a good team. Part of the combined force was assembled at Halifax, and Wolfe's dinner was to thank many people who had helped him there. He actually de- scribed it as "a small dinner" but there were 47 guests and the total bill was nearly 100 pounds, The actual dinner cost 20 shillings a plate, but extra charges included 70 bottles of madeira, 50 bottles of claret, and 25 bottles of brandy. Then there were musicians, special attendants, and a table master. The fleet sailed from Halifax four days later wiih Amherst travelling in H.M.S. Dublin, commanded 'by Captain Rodney who also became more famous. They expected to capture Lou- isburg in 10 days, but the Chevalier de Drucour put up a stout defence, and the fortress did not fall until July 27. Even Madame Drucour helped to load its guns. Wolfe wanted to go on then and capture Quebec, but Am- herst was more cautious and postponed the attack until the following year. Wolfe was so angry that he tried to resign from the army, and went back to Britain.

"Victoria" Ont., with QUEEN'S PARK Vital Spark Displayed By Nixon By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A leader may well have come of age here on Wednesday, May 17, On that day Robert Nixon took the floor to criticize the department of education for his party. And the performance he gave astounded the House. Since he was elected Liberal leader four months ago, Mr. Nixon has shown touches of quality. In the. House he has con- ducted himself with consider- able assurance and some ag- gressiveness. But there remained the ques- "tion whether he had, that essen- tial spark which is so vital for successful leadership -- the spark which can produce real force. ' IN COMMAND In this education debate, Mr. Nixon showed the spark was there. While he had the floor he ab- solutely dominated the House and had it alive. As he spoke you had a mental image of the government being pushed back against the wall. Its few attempts to protest, to interject, to oppose him, just didn't register. And the NDP fared no better. In fact, its group seemed to shrink before the attack on it. The Liberal leader was in command, The questions about Mr. Nix- on's capacity still remain. one performance doesn't remove them. On this occasion, also, there was a considerable assist in that he immediately followed Education Minister William Davis. And Mr. Davis had given a two-hour report, prepared by his department, which had bored the House to death. The contrast in the Liberal leaders performance may have made it seem better than it actually was. BEST TOPIC Also, education {s Mr. Nix. on's best topic. As a former teacher he knows the subject, and has been his party's educa- tion critic since he has been in the House. However, it is noteworthy that his past efforts as critic have been pretty much run-of> the-mill, On no océasion before has he shown anything like the conviction or fire he did this time. So that all in all his perform- ance was very reassuring to his supporters, Incidentally, this same day more rumor stories had ap- peared in the press saying the young education minister might be a dark-horse candidate for the national PC leadership. These rumors are being cir- culated by a few people close to Mr. Davis. Anyone watching him this day would have imme- diately discounted them.
