She Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1967 Quebec Premier Courts Domination The VIP treatment so generously bestowed upon Quebec Premier Johnson during his visit to France sent him back to, Canada buoyed with naive enthusiasm. Had he been wined and dined in such high fash- ion in Ottawa, for instance, the fed- eral government motives would be highly suspected in his eyes. His enthusiasm for increasing ties with "the motherland" was un- bounded. He talked of plans for educational television, economic planning, travelling fairs, training for engineers and such things as joint studies for bilateral invest- ment. In light of such advances, The Peterborough Examiner has made this apt observation: "It would be unrealistic to suppose that the Que- bec government, which is in the grip of its nationalistic fervor, could consider the implications of this new "bon entente" with France with dispassionate care. Has France, for example, an _ ulterior motive? Hitherto, France has dis- played no interest of any kind in extending investment into Quebec to help its growth and indepen- dence in return for comfortable profits. The Americans, and the rest of Canada, which have been ready to do so are somehow sus- pected of ulterior designs. Even if the effect has been that English- By France speaking people have administered and managed the capital, Quebec has indicated the reason -- the shortcomings of its provincial in- stitutions to keep pace with the skills needed for development. This admission was fully realized in the decision to revamp the Quebec school system'. It becomes a question for Quebec really of substituting one cultural domination for another. And, as The Examiner states, this is a question the people of Quebec can only answer. The Quebec Premier, however, has evidently been carried away to the degree he has overlooked such simple amenities of our Confedera- tion-as informing the Prime Minis- ter of Canada of the results of his visit to a foreign country. His ac- tion can be interpreted as show- ing determination not to miss an opportunity to embarrass the fed- eral government or to disrupt the present shaky constitutional bal- ance. The Quebec premier has embark- ed on an odd course. He is willing to weaken his proyince's partnership in Confederation and anxious to re- turn to the French colonial fold -- and all in the name of the national- istic aspirations for Quebec inde- pendence. Unwarranted Attack An unwarranted attack on the Prime Minister of Canada phrased in demeaning terms has detracted greatly from the campaign - being waged to persuade the government to discard its policy of quiet diplo- macy in Vietnam. The description of Mr. Pearson as a 'puppydog on LBJ's leash" at- tributed to Rev. J. R. Hord, secre- tary of the United Church board of evangelism and social service, has boomeranged, and deservedly so. It is an unworthy and false accusa- tion. The London Free Press has ex- pressed the criticism many Cana- dians must feel.

Press notes, with his counsel that Canadians should not support Americans who: "are bombing the hell out of those poor people" and his observation that God is on the side of the hurt, the maimed and the defenceless. The Communist forces in Vietnam are far from de- fenceless, and Americans and South Vietnamese too are being hurt and maimed and butchered like cattle to terrorize voters. "That aside, Mr. Pearson -- and for that matter External Affairs Minister Paul Martin -- warrants the full support' of the Canadian people for his efforts to obtain a negotiated settlement of the Viet- nam war. The prime minister some months ago in the United States openly criticized U.S. policy and in- curred the wrath of President John- son. Throughout, he persistently has called for a halt to American bombings. "Both prime minister and Mr. Martin have exerted the full weight of Canadian influence upon Wash- ington and Hanoi, and upon other capitals, in efforts to bring a halt to the conflict. No Canadian prime minister or foreign minister could have exerted greater pressure or could have done more." The significant conclusion' the London paper reaches is that "Mr. Hord's ill-advised observations will lessen the stature of Mr. Pearson not a whit. They will reflect upon their author".

Droves of writers and broad- casters are crowding through, some staying for long periods, others leaving after filing stories on particular events. Viadimir Mikhailov, regular correspondent in Canada for the Soviet news agency Tass, is here with another Tass te- porter. They send as many as five stories a day back to the Soviet Union by a teletype link with. the agency's New York office. Fifty Soviet journalists are expected at Expo's St. Law- rence site in August when their country has its national day. It hasn't been all smooth sail- ing in the Expo press centre where reporters may be seen pounding away at the 70 type- writers, talking into a legion of telephones and tape machines or running with copy to a neigh- boring room where nine teletype Expo Site Served As Base Ot Champlain's Operations By BOB BOWMAN St. Helen's Island, site of Expo 67, once was a seigneury belonging to the LeMoyne fam- ily in Montreal. For this reason it might be thought that it was named after Ste. Helen, one of the 10 fighting brothers, but this was not the case. The is- land was named for Cham- plain's wife, Helene, who only spent four unhappy years with him in Quebec. Champlain men- tioned her only twice in_ his writings: the day she arrived, and the day she left. However, Champlain used St. Helen's Island as a base for a trip up the Ottawa River. He left on May 27, 1613, full of hope that he had found the route to China! During one of his visits to France, a young man by the name of Vignau, told Cham- plain that he had been up the Ottawa River and knew where there was a wrecked English ship. Champlain brought him to Canada to act as a guide. On the way up the Ottawa, Champlain decided to visit an Algonquin chief who lived at Muskrat Lake. This meant a day's walk through the woods, and on the way Champlain lost his astrolabe, an instrument for determining latitude and longi- tude, It was found near Ren- frew 254 years later, still in ex- cellent condition. The Algonquin chief laughed at Vignau's story and made him confess that it was a fake. Then Champlain decided to re- turn to Quebec, and the Indians accompanied him as far as Chaudiere Falls, today in the heart of Ottawa, There they performed a colorful ceremony to protect Champlain from all enemies. It ended by hurling a plate of tobacco into the caul- dron.

'Speak the word only." ok LLAMA Swen: 2c QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT 'EXPLORATORY' CONFERENCE Important Initiative Credited To Robarts Montreal Le Devoir--What appeared at the outset as a rather nebulous idea of Mr. Robarts may very well be- come one of the most impor- tant political initiatives of re- cent years. Henceforth it will be with the very strong sup- port of the Ontario legislature that the premier of the neigh- boring province will soon in- vite the governments of the country to an "exploratory" conference on the future per- spectives of Confederation. When the project was first mentioned some months ago, Mr. Pearson raised some seri- ous reservations. He more or less let it be understood that only the central government could take the initiative in calling a conference such as Mr. Robarts envisaged. Fortu- nately, Mr. Robarts did not allow himself to be swayed by Mr. Pearson's intervention. With the cool composure for which he is known, he allowed his project to lie dormant for several months. . It was to the applause of the whole Ontario legislature that Mr. Robarts was able, last Thursday, to announce tune to his colleagues during machines wait to deliver stories to all parts of the world. There was some confusion during the fair's early days in the disclosure by officials of at- tendance figures. Czechs have voiced com- plaints about what they call the tardiness of Canadian officials in the granting of visas. The result, they say, is inability to give Expo adequate coverage. Representatives of the Czech- oslovak news agency CTK and the 1,000,000-circulation Prague newspaper 'Rude Pravo had three Czech reporters and two photographers at Expo in its early weeks. Another Czech journalist had been refused a visa, they said, and the visa application of still another--who has not yet ar- rived -- took an inconveniently long time to come through. For some Japanese reporters, the most intriguing part of Expo now is over--the complex pro- cess of construction and organi- ization. Japan is staging a world's fair at Osaka in 1970, so its journalists have been re- porting to home audiences all details on what goes into the making of such a..global ex- travaganza. ; NEEDED INTERPRETER The 25 Japanese reporters and photographers now here and the 50 television men who had been on the Expo beat prior to open- ing day had tough language problems. So pretty Nancy Hashizume, who came to Montreal from her native Tokyo last year, was assigned by Expo's public rela- tions department to help them, although it was only one of the duties of the Japanese girl who speaks four languages. The public relations depart- ment, through its press section, has been turning out piles of information sheets for the use of reporters. It operates under Yves Jasmin and employs 30 press aides whose job it is to clear the way for reporters once they get here. Many Canadian newspapers, radio and TV stations have sent ' reporters and broadcasters to the fair. They and others are also covered by news agencies, The Canadian Press, the na- tional news co-operative whose membership includes almost all Canadian dailies, has a perma- nent nucleus of writing and photographic staff at the fair, with additional personnel avail- able to handle major events such as the visit of a leading international dignitary. The Associated Press, the U.S. news co-operative, and Reuters, the British news agency, both of which serve newspapers around the world, have men on the scene at vari- ous times, At others they de- pend on reports from CP. From the picture windows of the press room, journalists have definitely that the confer- ence would be called very soon... . The four main themes which Mr. Robaris wants to inscribe on the conference's agenda are sufficiently broad to permit a very general sur- vey of the situation. Mr. Ro- barts in effect suggested that the conference study: A. The existing shortcom- ings of the Canadian federal system; B. The general objectives the federation should pursue in the future; C. The present machinery for relations between Ottawa and the provinces and among the provinces themselves; D. The role of the English language and of the French language in Canada. These subjects are so funda- mental that one can ask if it would not be desirable that each provincial delegation in- clude not only representatives of the party in power but also delegates of opposition parties. In the case of Que- bec, for example, the John- son government holds a ma- jority in the chamber, but it fy received, in the last election, the support of only 41 per cent of the electors who turned up at the polls. Would it not be advantageous that the Quebec delegation be a bipartisan del- egation, so that it could speak with more authority in the name of all Quebec, or at least of a very large majority . of Quebecers? . . .--Claude Ryan (May 22) Sherbrooke La Tribune--Ei- ther submit or resign. That is the alternative which the prime minister of Canada, Mr. Lester Pearson, has given to his ministers following the latest outburst by his good friend, Mr, Walter Gordon, in connection with the war in Vietnam. Should cabinet solidarity ex- ist at the price of freedom of thought of each member of . the cabinet? ... We believe that the interest of the country demands cabi- net solidarity. It is difficult for us to see how a minister could sing out of tune while preserving all the privileges inherent in his post. If he wants to remain a minister, it is up to him to try to sell his f meetings of the cabinet, if his conscience so moves him. If he does not succeed .. . he has rea:ly only one alterna- tive: Sing with the chorus or take the door... . Mr. Gordon's outburst .. . is fraught with consequences. The prime minister of Canada today can call his good friend to order, but the harm has been done. Mr. Walter Gor- don, on the basis of what we know about him, is not the type of man who can be easily convinced that it is important to confine his personal opin- ions in a notebook in order to propound the views of. the cabinet. . . . If he had the courage in the wake of an election to resign as minister because he had wrongly ad- vised the party on the calling of an election whose results were not what he had antici- pated, will he, this time, have the courage to keep quiet or to resign? We are curious to know what a man like him, financially independent and in addition with something of the maverick in him, will decide e+. --Alwarez Vi a lavish view of the Expo site's science fiction skyline and of traffic-filled bridges spanning the St. Lawrence, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, May 27, 1942 Oshawa Engineering has ex- panded its quarters and in- creased staff and is now entirely engaged in war production.

Nearly a third of the population (32%) say they are worse off than they were a year ago. This is well on to three times the ratio as said it two years ago. Twenty-six percent feel they are better off and 41% say their economic positions are about the same as a year ago. When a similar question was put to the public in 1965, only 13% said they were worse off; 29% said better off and 53% saw no change in their finances. The greatest number of people today (36%) who feel they are worse off than a year ago are to be found in the ranks of labor. Least hurt by rising costs are from the profes- sional and executive classes. Only 22% among those groups say they are worse off than a year ago.

(CP) Twelve miles of protected wa- terfront and an unsurpassed waterway penetrating Can- ada's geographical heart make the Lakehead a major clearing house for the nation. With the twin ports of Fort William and Port Arthur re- opened to navigation at mid- April, another boom shipping season is in prospect. Grain from the Prairie breadbasket is flowing through 25 terminal elevators with a capacity of 109,000,000 bushels, one of the world's largest concentrations of bulk grain storage. Ore, paper, industrial and package freight combine with grain to keep the loading piers humming. In 1966, vessels from 18 countries handled a_ record 19,503,923 tons of cargo includ- ing the greatest volume of grain ever to move by water from the Lakehead--14,231,425 tons or 494,624,013 bushels, The previous record for grain movement was 483,700,000 bushels in 1945. Its location near the head of Lake Superior, linking the West to the industrial East through the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence systems, made port development here inevi- table. It was in 1884 that the fed- eral government decided to establish a national harbor in Fort William. Adjacent Port Arthur joined the program, providing 180 acres north of the intercity boundary. Between 1891 and 1965, more than 16,397,000 cubic yards of material were dredged from the harbor to obtain a navigable depth. The cost was $6,708,578. About 50,000 cubic yards of silt, brought down by spring runoff, must be dredged an- nually from the Kaministi- quia, McKellar and Mission rivers which empty into Lake Superior. It cost $8,864,995 to build 24,337 feet of breakwater structures, of which 7,900 feet had to be demolished at a cost of $525,337 when harbor limits were moved offshore to provide more sheltered spaces for vessel movements. Fort William now has 29,- 000 feet--5i4 miles--of navi- gable river channels ranging from 400 to 600 feet in width. Storage capacity in 10 grain elevators is 37,923,000 bushels. Other Fort William harbor facilities include oil storage and refinery plants, paper mills, coal docks and railway freight sheds. Port Arthur offers a pro- tected harbor area along seven miles of shoreline. About five miles of breakwa- ter create a sheltered basin 2,000 to 4,000 feet wide. There are three entrances for ves- sels in the north, central and south sections of the breakwa- ter. Pulp mills, grain elevators, ore docks, shipyards, railway freight sheds and other indus- trial plants are located along the Port Arthur breakwater-- with each plant having ample berthing space in wide slips opening directly onto the main harbor. The capacity of Port Ar- thur's 15 grain elevators is 71,064,700 bushels, The potential capacity of the Lakehead terminals has never been taxed to the limit but the federal government recognized the need\ to aug- ment facilities and in June, 1962, a modern seaway cargo terminal--the Keefer Lake- head Terminal -- was com- pleted at a cost of $8,500,000. In the 814-month 1966 sea- son, 1,744 vessels used the harbor, including foreign reg- istry representing Brit- ain, Czechoslovakia, Den- mark, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Ireland, Is- rael, Italy, Liberia, The Neth- erlands, Norway, Panama, Sweden, Switzerland and Yu- goslavia, CROMYRO Vis Mysterious Mission Explained By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Wrtier The world may be finding out at last what was discussed in a mysterious meeting between Gamal Abdel Nasser and Andrei Gromyko in Cairo nearly two months ago. The Egyptian president and the Soviet foreign minister were silent on the reagons for Gro- myko's visit March 30. It was presumed to have something to do with the always--edgy Mid- dle East situation. Now some observers see the meeting as one step in a long campaign by which the Soviet Union brought about the present Middle East crisis. Russia's aim, they think, was to drag the United States into a new confrontation in the Mid- dle East while at the same time battling in Vietnam. The theory is based on cir- cumstantial evidence but, if true, could mean an abrupt and brutal end to the cold war thaw in which it was hoped that Mos- cow and Washington were reach- ing a real understanding. MAY BE ANSWER The deadlock may be Premier Alexei Kosygin's answer to President Johnson's escalation of the Vietnam conflict. A solu- tion to the Middle East imbro- glio now could be hinged to Vi- etnam. Among other things this would show China how puny it is on the world stage in comparison with Russia, which can cause foreign armies to rise as if by magic. Russian strategy can be traced to last November when, following intervention by a Gro- myko deputy, a Syrian-Egyptian defence pact was signed. Nas- ser gave the Syrians far-reach- ing guarantees of help. Earlier, in Damascus, it was announced that Soviet techni- cians were completing installa- tion of anti - aircraft missile bases in Syria. In December, a high-level So- viet mission arranged a meet- ing of Egyptian, Syrian and Iraqi defence chiefs. The Soviet interest then became more ap- parent, MADE MANY TRIPS Gen. Abdel Hakim Amer, Egypt's commander - in - chief, and a military team visited Moscow. Soviet officials were observed on frequent trips be- tween Cairo and Damascus. The most significant factor is Nasser's heavy dependence on Russia, economically as well as militarily. Russia has nearly $1,300,000,000 in aid tied up in Egypt and supplies wheat, among many other things. It hardly seems possible Nas- ser would embark on an adven- ture this size without an okay from Moscow. Some observers see Russia giving not only the nod but the order to Egypt and ey in the wrangle with Is- rael, HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 27, 1967...
