ee Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1967 ' Threat To Youngsters Hovers On Homefront - Some of the saddest news stories to appear in Canadian newspapers tell of the disappearance of young- sters, and unfortunately such stor- jes are appearing with increasing frequency. Recently there has been the story of the 10-year-old Bur- lington girl who was abducted and not yet found, an attempted abduc- tion of a six-year-old in Toronto and the disappearance and murder of a 'child in Calgary. Parents must face the terrifying but very real danger of children being lured away by 'strangers. It places parents in an extremely 'difficult position. They must warn their children about the danger of going anywhere with strangers without making them fearful of all adults, or even of walking the 'streets alone. Some- basic instruc- 'tions, however, could be helpful in case of emergency. In the first 'place a child should know his home \address and parents' full name and 'be able to use. the telephone.. Chil- dren also ought to be taught that ithe policeman is a friend, not some- one who is going to "get them" if they are not good, it goes without saying that chil- dren should be told never to accept gifts or a car ride from strangers. Police also suggest that children should be encouraged to play with a friend or friends rather than alone and that a dog as a pet can help deter a molester. Care should also be taken when choosing a baby- sitter for an evening. These are the more obvious pre- cautions that should -- and un- doubtedly are taken -- by most parents to protect their children. But other aspects enter the picture that are more difficult to guard against. The molester may not be a stranger. The ugly possibility ex- ists that he could be someone the child knows, And there is also the possibility that a molester may say he has been sent by the father or the school 'principal with in- structions to take the child home or to school. This is an approach that has been used and one that places the child in a distressingly vulner- able position. It is tragic testimony that today children may not always be safe on Canadian streets. Yet it is a fact to be faced and dealt with through constant vigilance by all members of the community. Lake Ontario Pollution Timely attention has been drawn to the Lake Ontario problems of pollution by Dr. Daniel F. Jackson of the Department of Civil Engi- neering, Syracuse University. Dr. Jackson says that the algae 'peril to Lake Ontario is critical and hat great efforts will have to be made to stay ahead of it and even more effort will be required if any improvement is to be brought about. He has charged that New York State is doing nothing about Lake Ontario's algae and that "sev- eral prominent workers in New York State agencies do not think algae are any problem in New York water." It is his belief that She Oshawa Fimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie Wi , Publisher ®& C. PRINCE, General Manager Cc. J.

Dr. Jackson urged that only through intense effort can the lake be saved and that the public should show an interest in the problem. He also urged that groups such as the League of Women Voters should persevere in accomplishing worthwhile goals. He pointed out that such organizations led to the clearing up of Lake Washington and the Missouri River. That the same holds 'true in On- tario is noted by The Kingston Whig-Standard. The newspaper emphasizes that if groups and or- ganizations would make it their aim to acquaint themselves with the imminent danger of pollution in our lakes and water supplies they might get some action in this criti- cal matter. GO, SMOKE In the Netherlands, health offi- cials are planning a hippy way to send their message. The No-Smok- ing 1967 Committee is sending 400,- 000 children go-go records with a medicinal beat.

Wor- ried? --Detroit Free Press OTTAWA REPORT Italians Played Significant Roles By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--the last four years of intensive discussion of the "French Fact'? have wrongly beclouded and thrust aside the claims and even the presence. of Canada's "Third Force." This consists of those Canadians of European origin other than Brit- ish or French. The Third Force is an already important and still fast growing fraction of our population. In the 1941 census it accounted for 18 per cent; 10 years later it was 21, and in 1961 it had grown to 25 per cent. The 1971 census may well show it run- ning neck-and-neck with the French fraction, which has re- mained steady at 30 per cent ' over the last three census sur- veys. After Germans and Ukrainians, the largest group is Italian, which is the fastest- growing. A distinguished _ representa- tive of this group in the House of Commons is Fort William's Liberal MP, Mr. Hubert Bada- nai, who was born in Italy. Speaking in the Throne Speech debate, he aptly took the occa- sion to describe some little- known facts about the signifi- cant role played by Italians in our country's history, during those years which we regard as the era of French and British discovery and settlement. "T need not remind anyone in the House,"' Bert Badanai said, "that five years after the dis- covery of America by Christo- pher Columbus, another Italian mariner, Giovanni Cabot, in the service of King Henry VII of England and in honor of his native city of Venice, planted the Venctian banner of St. Mark side by side with the British flag on Canadian soil. Although Britain and France are recognized as our two founding nations, neither coun- try can claim credit for the first person to set foot on our shores -_.:. the British flag was planted in Canada by an Ital- jan. And without taking any- thing away from Jacques Car- tier, who is generally recog- nized as the first man to explore New France, it was another Italian, Giovanni da Verrazano, who led an expedition to Cape Breton in 1524." NAME APPEARS On the map of his discoveries the name 'Gallia Nova' (New France) appears for the first tim e. "The next Italians to come to Canada were mainly soldiers, priests and artists," said Mr. Badanai. 'There was Enrico Tonti, who was LaSalle's faith- ful lieutenant and played a large part in that great French explorer's success. When Mont- real's existence was threatened by the Iroquois Indians in 1665, France sent out the famous Carignan - Salieres regiment, Part of that 1,000-man unit was raised in Savoia, and most of the soldiers and officers, were Italians. The regiment was or- dered back to Europe three years later, but 400 members remained in New France as settlers," "The most illustrious Italian in New France, which as every- one knows is now Quebec, was Francesco Burlamacchi, known as Francois Bourlaman- que, third in command after the famous French general Mont- calm. Quebec's mining town of Bourlamanque was named after him," Bert Badanai continued on through the years, describing how Italians were hired "by the shipload" to build the trans- continental railroad. By 1900 there were 11,000 families of Italian origin in Canada; today the Italian group totals more than 550,000. "The 25 per cent of non- British and non-French origin may well become the cement binding the founding races into a composite whole, and achiev- ing that unity of purpose sought by the Fathers of Confedera- tion," predicted Bert. If a pro- portion are as civic conscious and conscientious as he is, that could come true; he has served his adopted. country well, for eight years as MP for Fort William. Also this interesting speech had only a meagre audience of 13 Liberals, 13 Conservatives, three NDP and six Creditistes out of our 265 MPs. New Problem For Canada Ahead In Nuclear Defense By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- There is mounting evidence that by the time Canada and the United States discuss renewal of the North American air defence agreement next year the United States will have decided to move into a costly new phase of missile defence This will pose a new nuclear problem for the Canadian gov- ernment, It will have to decide whether it will continue to play in the integrated NORAD sys- tem with the US ; Walter Gordon, minister with- out portfolio in the Canadian cabinet, recently suggested Can- ada should consider pulling out of NORAD on the grounds that the costs of putting up a credi- ble defence may be getting be- yond its means US Defence Secretary Rob- ert McNamara's latest press conference strongly indicated he is thinking now of installing a limited form of missile defence Recent testimony by his re- search chief, McGill - educated John S Foster Jr, supports that assumption The US proposed to the So- viet Union six months ago that negotiations be held in an effort to prevent such a costly new step The US said last Novem- ber the Soviet Union had al- ready started to put a missile defence system around Moscow LITTLE PROGRESS However, little progress with the Soviet Union has been made, McNamara said, "although we continue to be hopeful" Just why the Soviet Union has been dragging its feet is un- clear and theories run from an- ger over US policy in Vietnam to a Russian conviction that talks won't get anywhere But there is growing political pressure to start a missile sys- tem An alleged missile gap, more fiction than fact as it turned out, was a hot Republi- can-Democrat issue in the 1960 US presidential campaign President Joh has h troubles. now without adding more He could face a Republi- can party accusation that he is endangering US security by lagging in missile defence McNamara has been holding out against the generals but what he had to say most re- cently points to a decision to go ahead with a "'thin" defence costing $4,000,000,000 to $5,000,- 000,000. This would be adequate to protect the US generally from any attack that China might be able to mount in seven to 10 years ar FOREIGN SECRETARY MIDAS IN REVERSE Even Labor Press In PRESTIGE EBBS U.K. Lampoons Brown By HAROLD MORRISON LONDON (CP) -- George Brown appears to have been thrust into the role of King Mi- das in reverse--everything he touches turns to ash. The ebullient foreign secre- tary, frequently lampooned by political cartoonists, now is the subject of a sharp British press attack amid Britain's ebbing world power and prestige. Even the mass - circulation, Labor-supporting Sunday Mirror has joined in, its annoyance over his previous gaffes raised to front-page anger with an edito- rial accusing Brown of a "'big . mistake". in suddenly postpon- ing his Soviet trip just minutes before his scheduled takeoff last Friday. Brown said he postponed the 'trip because of the Middle East crisis, He didn't want to lose touch with home base. But British newspapers still are puzzled. Wouldn't it be bet- ter for him to be in Moscow where he could personally try to persuade Soviet leaders to lend a hand in preventing an Arab- Israeli war? The Sunday Mir- ror put it more bluntly: "Is there really anything which Mr. Brown could do by remaining in London about the inflammatory situation between Egypt and Israel--or. the row with China -- that Mr. Wilson and other ministers could not do as well, in his absence?" More blunt is the headline in the Tory-supporting Sunday Tel- egraph: "Can we afford George Brown?" - HAS PUBLIC SUPPORT Brown had a great deal of personal support among the general British public which en- joyed stories of his convention- breaking antics, says Telegraph writer Peregrine Worsthorne. But the foreign secretary was dealing with shrewd diplomats abroad; They didn't enjoy buf- foonery, his clowning and crude jokes. He should be shifted to some other cabinet post, The cartoonists are having a field day with Brown's eccen- tricities. The government holds an important white-tie dinner; Brown turns up in black tie or lounge suit. The full dignity of the Royal Family is on display at a major Buckingham Palace reception and Brown is reported affectionately flirting and even hugging Prince Margaret. Even the sympathetic Guard- fan has moved into the attack. With Brown having failed to turn up in Moscow, The Guard- ian cartoon shows him as a fully-armed, woolly-minded sol- dier busily addressing Premier Kosygin over a walkie - talkie while patrolling an empty des- rt. The attacks are increasing at a time when fate appears un- kind to Britain's foreign policy, Brown is often described as the man who persuaded Prime Min- ister Wilson to hurry his bid for entry into the European Com- mon Market. That bubbly mo- mentum has been virtually crushed' by President de Gaulle's cold response, Brown pleaded with Egyptian President Abdel Gamal Nasser to call off his support of guer- rilla attacks in Aden. The at- tacks increased in intensity. Anti-British demonstrations in China and Hong Kong, along with anti-British pressure in ether parts of the world, have brought The Sunday Telegraph comment that Brown is presid- ing over foreign policy at a pe- riod of unprecedented British weakness and humiliation, HOGG JOINS ATTACK "Wherever you look in the world, you see the country hu- miliated and attacked,' added Quintin Hogg, Tory front- bencher in the Commons, in a speech last week, While Brown can undoubtedly still claim support from a mass of Socialists, many a left-winger also is looking for his scalp be- cause of his Common Market drive. ; Strongly opposed to any Brit- {sh tie-up with the European community, the left-wing Trib- une-has called for Brown's res- ignation because he was the prime instigator of the govern- ment's European policy. Many opposed to the Common Market maintain Britain's en- try into the economic commu- nity would put her under the thumb of de Gaulle; that Brit- ain would become a "'Little Eng- land" abdicating her world role by crawling into a blanket of Eu- ropean protection. Brown denies this. He has told the House of Commons as well as reporters that Common Market membership would not change Britain's relations with the United States. There would be no question of exchanging the Atlantic for the English Chan- nel. There would be no ques- tion of withdrawing from a world role,.though the nature of that role would have to be con- stantly assessed in the light of available funds and political as- piratons, Brown has made clear that on the Vietnam war, Britain still firmly supports the U.S. All kinds of British attempts had been launched to end hostilities but they failed because, says Brown, Hanoi simply refused to come to the negotiating table. In other words, the fault was in North Vietnam and nowhere else. This British policy of continu- ing to link itself-up with the U.S, while attempting to open the European door, is likely to con- tinue and undoubtedly will in- crease as Britain tries to grap- ple with the rush of world events that seem beyond her power to influence or control, WOOING UNDER SOME DIFFICULTIES FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS U.S. Intervention Certain By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst WASHINGTON -- American military intervention is assured if all else fails and and Arab- Israeli war begins; the Amer- icans would prefer intervention to be international in character, a repeat of the 1956 Suez effort. Should this prove impossible, however, they would go it alone and land troops where neces- sary. The U.S. 6th Fleet is on alert; contingency plans are in operation to transport US, troops from Germany to Turkey and from there to the zone of conflict if necessary. Not to divert military air transport from Vietnam, the Pentagon is ready to charter the jets of major carriers. This has been made clear to the Arabs, the Israelis and the Russians. Washington is saying, 'In fact, that an Arab-Israeli war would be futile because Amer- ican force would be applied to restore the status quo. It is un- derstood that the Russians have voiced severe warnings about any such American initiative but they carefully avoided sug- gesting they would engage in any counter-intervention. The Russians--as Washington interprets their motives--have no plans to turn any Arab coun- try into a Communist satellite and would certainly not run the risk of a confrontation with the U.S. to help Egypt or Syria against Israel. Russia, by stay- ing out, will lose less popularity than will the U.S: by stepping into the Middle East mess. In- evitably, Washington will be blamed by the Arabs for stop- ping them from eliminating Is- rael. MAY WANT AN EXCUSE The resulting increase in anti- Americanism will be genuine even though it is quite clear at this stage that the leaders of various Arab countries--Egypt for instance, the Lebanon, Jor- dan, Saudi Arabia and even Traq--hope that they can use the threat of American inter- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 25, 1967... The Royal Society of Can- ada was founded 85 years ago today--in 1882--to pro- mote science and litera- ture. There now are about 450 members in five sec- tions; French culture, Eng- lish culture, exact sciences, biology and other sciences. Election to the society is an honor and the group awards medals and_ scholarships both on its own account and on behalf of the Canadian government. 1787 -- The Constitutional Convention at which the US. constitution was drafted opened at Philadel- phia. 1946 -- The kingdom of Transjordan was pro claimed. Dey First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- 17 German aircraft bombed Folkestone, Eng- land, causing 191 casualties; three were shot down; Ital- ians kept up pressure on the Carso front.

These leaders still think the creation of Israel was an out- rage perpetrated on the Arab world mainly by American Zi- onism; they still would like to eliminate Israel and feel obliged to say so at every opportunity. But they also do not want to face the cost of fighting Israel, and this they are unwilling to say publicly; they prefer to say that if they do not fight, it is because the U.S. won't let them. Nor are these Arab leaders willing to make an all out bid for Communist support; this would mean putting themselves in the hands of the Communists in their own countries, such as happened to Castro; and Arab leaders are anti-Communist at home. They realize, moreover, that the most profitable outlets for their products, especially oil, are in the West; they do not relish the prospect of being blockaded like Cuba for being Communist, Victoria Named Capital, New Westminster Lost Out By BOB BOWMAN Victoria was proclaimed to be the capital ¢* British Columbia 'on May 25, 1868. New Westmin- ster, which had _ challenged strongly for the honor, was greatly disappointed. In fact, New Westminster, might claim with some justice that it was "diddied"'. Vancouver Island and British Columbia had been separate colonies until they were united in November, 1866. Then it be- came necessary to decide where thenew capital would be, and the issue came before the legislative council in April, 1868. The odds favored New Westminster because it was known to be Governor Sey- mour's choice. It was also ex- pected that the delegate from Nanaimo would vote for New Westminster because there was a good deal of jealousy between Nanaimo and Victoria. However, the Victoria sup- porters "got to" the Nanaimo delegate, Captain Franklin. On the day of the vote they enter- tained him at a nearby bar, and he was not in good shape when it came time to speak on he- half of New Westminster, Gold Commissioner Cox, who was in favor of Victoria, managed to shuffle the pages of the speech so that Franklin made a num- ber of false starts. Then, when Franklin laid his glasses on the table, Cox pressed the glass from their frames, and Frank- lin could not see at all when he put them back on. The chairman called a recess of half an hour, but when Franklin. rose to resume his speech, it was claimed that he had already spoken and could not be heard again. The objec- tion was put to a vote, and up- held. Victoria was then chosen to be the capital. Cox and Franklin were both dismissed from the Legislative Council later by Governor Sey- mour.

QUEEN'S PARK Soundness In Proposal By Robarts By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO -- When Premier Robarts described his proposed Confederation of Tomorrow in the special debate on the pro- posal, he made it sound almost practical. The premier for the first time gave concrete suggestions as to what the conference might do, He outlined a tentative four- point agenda, The first point would be discussion on the weaknesses of the present fed- eral structure. And from this the considerations would move on to possible national goals and. objectives, relations be- tween the federal government and the provinces, and the place of the English and French languages. And he mentioned other pro- visions, such as that any talk of finances would be banned, which made his proposal add up to what looked like a feasible package. The first criticism of Mr. Ro- barts' proposal when he made it was that it was entirely too vague. However, with the structure he outlined this objection largely disappeared, for it presented definite--and apparently quite reasonable--points the confer- ence could tackle, COULD WORK In fact, you have the feeling the conference could work. The writer has felt that the first step in approaching re- formation of the constitution should be agreement on just what a constitution should be~ what it should cover. This might seem elementary, but nevertheless there is no clear understanding at present on this point. And if you are going reform a_ constitution properly, it is essential it should be clear just what a constitu- tion is. But the other points are prac- tical ones, and as outlined by the premier it would seem they might lead to orderly consider. ation of changes. The second point, the defini- tion of goals and objectives, might, it seems, be better con- sidered ahead of the first one, the weaknesses of the present structure. If the goals are known the weaknesses might be better weighed. However, this might not be too important. OTTAWA OUT? The conference, in fact, might succeed even if Ottawa doegn't recognize it. Actually it oduld even be better if it did. For fundamentally the federal govern"*~' is on one * ** ond the ; ovinces on the he: in constitutional reform. In the first instance, more progress might be made if Ot- tawa didn't participate and the provinces reached some agree- ment on what they wanted out of a new confederation.
