Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JULY S$, 1967 _Annexing Of Jerusalem Only Complicates Crisis Israel's latest move in annexing » -Jerusalem's Old City against friend- * ly advice can only serve to compli- cate efforts to find a just and last- Ling solution to one of the Middle ~Fast's most vexing, chronic prob- lems. This uniting of the City of David has about it a fine ring of history and vindication. But no foreign power, friend or foe, approves the Israelis' unilateral decision to make all of Jerusalem a permanent part of the Jewish state. The Old City, for centuries an object of international strife, has strong historic and spiritual signi- ficance not only for Israelis and Arabs but for Jews, Moslems and Christians throughout the world. The interest of Christians is mani- fest in Pope Paul's pleas for the in- ternationalization of Jerusalem. The Roman Catholic Church has long advocated such a solution. Israel argues that for the first time since 1948 all holy places are open to Christians, Moslems and Jews. In the exuberance of victory and realized dreams, one can understand the refusal of any Israeli official to consider making Jerusalem an open city under international con- trol. But, as The Welland Tribune says, incorporation of the Old City into the Jewish State could jeopar- dize the possibility of agreement on the larger scene. The United States and Britain publicly, and some other states pri- vately had urged the Israelis 'not to take any precipitate action that would seek to freeze gains achieved through military victories, and the United States served notice imme- diately that it does not recognize Israel's action in asserting admini- strative control over the Old City. No one can seriously dispute Is- rael's interest in the Old City nor the reasonableness of its demand that conditions not be returned to pre-war status. Israel's objectives-- access for Jews and others to the Old City holy places and security for the Israeli sector from attacks-- must be satisfied, as they were not under Jordanian rule, says The Tri- bune. But arbitrary annexation 'is not the best way to achieve these aims, Any unilateral action can only im- peril efforts to reach a general set- tlement and stir new discord. An example of this cropped up in the United Nations when a West- inspired resolution aimed at setting conditions for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from occupied Arab territory ran into difficulties over the issue of Jerusalem. The resolu- tion, in direct opposition to one de- manding unconditional withdrawal of troops introduced by Yugoslavia, would tie Israeli withdrawals to steps to end the state of belligeren- cy between Israel and its Arab neighbors, Death Penalty Must Go Statistics have shown that the death penalty is no deterrent for crime and countries without the ultimate penalty have less murders than countries retaining this bar- baric form of retribution. It will be realized that murder in the great majority of cases is the result of aberration, says The Chat- ham News. No well balanced per- son would in cold blood do away with a human being, except of course, with a few exceptions; even then, these are debatable In the 1800s, the death penalty was exacted for shoplifting, poach- ing, associating with gypsies.

Gradually the number of offences was reduced and the number of exe- cutions dwindled. Between 1867 and 1869, with a population of about 3.7 million, there were 27 death sentences pro- nounced in Canada--26 men and one woman--12 men were executed, In 1955 to 1967, when the popula- tion reached close to 20 million, murders totalled 160--158 men and two women--25 men only were hanged. The total since Confederation -- 701 executions, 688 men and 13 women. All parties in the Commons have shown their distaste for the death penalty by allowing but few sen- tences to be carried out: With the progress of education the number of people advocating abolition of the death penalty has increased. In 1961 the code was amended to eliminate death for persons un- der 18 years of age. In .addition murder was split into two classifi- cations, capital and _ non -capital murder. Many juries, following the gen- eral trend, recommend mercy in many cases, unless the murder is particularly revolting. A country demanding execution of murderers drags itself to the felon's own level. The total abolition of the death penalty must be the answer. OTTAWA REPORT Parliament _ Rightful Hub By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Parliament Hill has jumped into its rightful place as the hub of Canada's national life this birthday sum- mer, with typical Canadian in- formality among the pomp. The usual midsummer throngs of tourists are enlarged by Expo visitors detouring to enjoy the day-long activities, varying the spectacular and the entertaining with the more usual political and historic. On a typical recent day, the sun shone hot from the deep blue sky. The late spring rain has given the lawns on Parlia- ment Hill an emerald-isle green- ness and brought the flowers to bloom, while countless flags _ flutter in the breeze above many white-painted wood cais- sons and terraces. The guard-watchers arrived early, to take up their places for good snap-shots, and sharp at 10 o'clock the massed band of the Canadian Guards wheeled onto the Hill, leading the parade of four platoons, That morning, instead of the normal routine of changing the guard, flags representing the Yukon and Northwest Terri- tories were presented to two companies, and then the whole parade performed ceremonial march-pasts, in slow time and in quick time. LEAD PROCESSION As soon as the martial music of the departing Guards faded away into Confederation Square, Hill riders clattered up the Hill; school buses dropped crowds of excited children; tourists from most provinces ad many states strolled around in family groups, pausing to look at the centennial flame, and toss @ coin into the fountain. June was declared by the Ot- tawa centennial committee as "Picnic Month."" So at midday the young couples and families lying in the sun on the lawns, chatting and snapping, were also sandwiching. Next an army of boys and girls, neatly dressed in red blazers and white trousers or pleated skirts, brought their musical instrun.ents to the cen- tre: stage. This was the Barrie District Collegiate Band, under the direction of W. A. Fisher. PLAYED THEME Soon they were playing what could be the theme song of that Peace Tower balcony--"On a clear day you can see forever." What a charming concert that band gave us, fresh from per- forming at Expo, I was told by double-bass player Bruce Rum- ble. When that ended, the crowds went to throng the galleries of the House of Commons, where absenteeism had reduced our band of MPs to smaller size than Barrie's band of 85 per- formers. Later the crowds gathered on the lawns; the Guards marched up the Hill; and the pigeons were sent scuttling away in swirling squadrons as men led a procession of large the ceremonial guns barked out black limousines to the Parlia- a salute of welcome to thec ment Building. Out stepped yet president of India, Zakir Hus- another visiting dignitary: Hon. _ sain.

Rain Came In Nick Of Time Bumper Crop By ALLEN SACKMANN Canadian Press Staff Writer Million-dollar showers. fell on the Prairie grain belt in June to keep Western farm- ers hoping they are on the trail of their sixth consecu- tive bumper crop. The rains came in a nick of time for many parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba where late-seeded crops lay dormant and the sprouted grain languished through a lack of surface moisture. The widespread precipitation dra- matically changed all that. "It's a brand new ball game,"' exults a National Grain Co, report, "and crop prospects across the West are good." With the most cause for optimism is Alberta where statistician R. E. English of the department of agriculture says conditions vary from "good to very good except in the southwest corner." Sas- katchewan and Manitoba, on the other hand, present more of a mixed bag although the over-all situation holds prom- ise. An abnormal spring of early rain followed by a long period of cool, dry weather put most crops across the Prairies a week to 10 days behind nor- mal. Sunshine--lots of it--and strategic precipitation during July is needed for a bumper crop. The foundation was laid early this spring when sub- soil moisture reserves were bolstered by March and April precipitation which was, in most areas, well above nor- mal. Statistics prepared by the meteorological branch of the federal transport department In Prospect for The Canadian Press show that precipitation for the pe- riod Aug. 1, 1966, to April 30 this year was well above nor- mal in all three Prairie proy- inces. Only northwestern Saskat- chewan showed a less-than- normal figure--seven per cent --although the provincial average was 14 per cent above normal. Alberta was the soggiest with a province-wide excess of 19 per cent. The southern part of the province, hit by un- precedented spring snow- storms, had a moisture excess of 40 per cent which sharply curtailed seeding operations. Mr. English said only 70 per cent of the planned wheat acreage had been sown by mid-June with the balance likely earmarked for coarse grains. In the rest of Alberta, Seeding was completed and growth indicated farmers will be looking for another crop of last year's proportions which, across the Prairies, produced a record 844,000,000 bushels of wheat. DRY IN NORTHEAST In Saskatchewan, the north- east and southwest areas started out the growing sea- son with the greatest reserve as precipitation exceeded nor- mal by 20 and 35 per cent re- spectively. It was the north- eastern area--which produces about 20 per cent of the Prairie wheat crop and 30 per cent of its rapeseed--that suf- fered most from the lack of rain in the April to mid-June period. Some growers said fields they had planned to seed will be summerfallowed this year because the rains came too late, GAMBLING PROBE IN BAHAMAS TWO CASINOS IN FREEPORT Service Of Sir Stafford Sands In Question By ALEXANDER FARRELL NASSAU (CP) -- When a four-man commission resumes its inquiry into gambling in the Bahama Islands Jate this summer, the highlight is ex- pected to be the testimony of Sir Stafford Sands, a lawyer and prominent figure for many years in the politics and business of this sunny British colony. The commission, headed by Sir Ranulph Bacon, 60, former deputy commissioner of Scot- land Yard, wants to hear his explanation of what he did or was expected to do to earn fees of more than $1,000,000 paid or promised by the de- velopers of Freeport, site of two large casinos. Sir Stafford, 54, was in Eu- rope and later the United States during the five weeks the inquiry commission was hearing evidence this spring. One commissioner, Trinidad lawyer J. Algernon Wharton, 67, said he was tired of hear- ing other witnesses say how invaluable Sir Stafford's serv- ices were to the companies that have built Freeport, on Grand Bahama Island, and in- troduced large - scale gam- bling to the colony. SEEKS TRUTH The commission is trying to determine whether any gov- ernment officials have bene- fitted directly from gambling and whether there is any truth to allegations that casino prof- its have been flowing into U.S. underworld coffers. The Bahamian penal forbids gambling. Bahamas Amusements Ltd. was granted a certificate of exemption by former governor Sir Robert Stapledon April 1, 1963, permitting it to operate casinos on Grand Bahama Is- land in conjunction with hotels having at least 200 bedrooms, code In the same month, four mem- bers of the governor's execu- tive council signed consult- ancy contracts with the Grand Bahama Development Co., parent firm of the casino operators. The four, all members of the United Bahamian Party, were Sir Roland Symonette, Dr. Raymond Sawyer, Trevor Kelly and Sir Stafford. A con- tract was also made with Rob- ert Symonette, Sir Roland's son and Speaker of the House of Assembly. Canadian promoter Louis Chesler, first president of both Grand Bahama Development and Bahamas Amusements, testified that Sir Stafford ne- gotiated the contracts and set the fees to be paid. Further evidence showed that Sir Roland terminated his contract in 1964, when he be- came the first premier of the Bahamas under a new consti- The other contracts ( tution. were terminated by the end of 1965, with the exception of the fees to Sir Stafford. Keith Gonsalves, who suc- ceeded Chesler as president of the two companies, testified that Sir Stafford was paid $515,900 as "a fee for ob- taining an exemption § cer- tificate from the govern- ment" and was pron.ised $50,- 000 a year for 10 years for ad- vice on "publicity and pro- moting all phases of the de- velopment company." But Chesler later testified that Sir Stafford was paid a legal fee of $576,000 in one cheque, and Gonsalves was re- called for questioning on this points. "There cah't be two sums," Gonsalves told the commis- sion. '"'We looked it up care- fully. And actually I did more than, that. I looked up the company minutes and there is no $576,000, but there is a $515,900," AR. PBARSON HINTS LAKe FORMED BY THE SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN DAM WILL BE NAMED FOR, OPPOSITION LEADER CIGFEN BAKER oa---- OTTAWA NEWS ITEM DAMMED FOREVER vmnttamn egtn tte mene ci FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS There Is By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst There is an Arab solution for the Middle east, soundly based in law but 30 years behind the times and presupposing the sub- stitution of a new cruelty for an old one. Historically, the Arab case is sound, as sound as the-case of the Indians in North America. Until the First World War, the arabs had a claim to Pal- estine established for 11 cen- turies by possession, which is nine parts of the law. Much earlier than that the Jews had lost possession as a basis for their claim to the promised land which they had wanted continuously but held only spo- radically even in biblical times. After the First World War, not only were Anglo - French promises on Arab independence broken but massive Jewish im- migration to the holy land was allowed and even encouraged by Britain which controlled Pal- estine. When enough Jews had immigrated, they demanded, in effect, to control the land prom. ised them by the religion of their fathers and they obtained what they demanded by. supe- rior valor and skill on the bat- tlefield. The Arabs say that all their hostile acts since have been the justified acts of the legal prop- erty owner, dispossessed and expelled by a trespasser. And the expulsion is real, measur- able, amounting by now to some 2,000,000 Palestinians who have had their fields seized without compensation. This is not an ancient wrong belonging to the dusty files of history, say the Arabs, but an actual, current injustice to liv- ing people, a breaking of the law by any legal code; they want redress and restitution. Legally their case is strong, espetially in an era when all nations pay lip service to the principles of the United Nations which purport to guarantee in- dividual rights, including prop- erty rights even for the de- feated and conquered. But restitution of Palestine to the Arabs can only mean the expulsion from Palestine of the Jews. In other words, to stop the Arab refugees from being TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 5, 1967... British and Canadian forces were defeated by in- vading American troops at Chippawa on the west bank of the Niagara River during the War of 1812, 153 years ago today--in 1814. Some 4,000 Americans under Gen. Jacob Brown and Gen. Win- field Scott were rashly at- tacked by Gen. Phineas Riall with some 2,000 regu- lars and militia. Riall re- lied on past experience that showed the wisdom of of- fence against the raw American levies, but the men under Brown and Scott were well-trained. British and Canadian losses to- talled 500 while the Ameri- cans lost 400 men. 1764--Ivan VI of Russia murdered after 22 years in prison, 1954--The United States expelled three.

The Arabs say the choice was made once, at their expense and unde- servedly. They say that their refugees have nowhere to go be- cause Arab lands are poor whereas Jewish communities around the world can absorb the 2,500,000 Israelis. Even if this were so, we come up against Israeli realities. By now hundreds of thousands of Jews have been born in Israel; they have fought and worked for this land; they have made the desert bloom; they do not want to be dispersed again and they will fight to stay. Arabs The West does not feel mor- ally able to even contemplate the eradication of Israel to sat- isfy Arab claims; the West, after all, persecuted the Jews and strengthened their desire for a land they could call their own. If, as the Arabs claim, Israel was unjustly born because the West foisted its unwanted Jews on the Arabs, then the blame belongs to the West and let the West make restitution by taking all the Arab refugees. But the West does not want Arabs; they too engender latent anti-semi- tism. It is not now a soluble problem, American Invaders Of 1812 Crossed Easily IntoCanada By BOB BOWMAN Although the U.S. declared war on Britain on June 18, 1812, Sir Georte Prevost, governor of Canada, did not get the news at Quebec until June 24. Even then it was just a mes- sage from an agent of the North West Fur Company in New York. Gen. Isaac Brock, com- mander of the Niagara sector, did not get word from Prevost until July 3, but he had also heard the news _ unofficially from a fur trader of the Astor Company. The Americans declared war on Britain for the purpose of capturing Canada. They did not believe there would be much of a struggle. How could 4,450 British and Canadian soldiers guard a frontier of 1,300 miles? In any case the Americans thought that Canadians wanted to be "liberated" from Britain, and Dr. Eustis, secretary for War, predicted that it would be necessary to send only officers because Candians would fill the ranks. The U.S. commander chosen to invade Canada was General Hull, a Boston lawyer who had not done any soldiering since the American Revolution- ary War. He gathered 2,500 troops at Dayton, Ohio and an- nounced that he was going to invade Canada one month be- fore war was declared! Then he sent supplies to Fort Detroit in an American schooner. As: the ship entered the Detroit River it was stopped by the British guns at Fort Mal- Den and a search party went aboard. It found army supplies among the cargo including a case con- taining the plans for the invas- sion and information about the strength of Hull's force! Hull marched his men from Dayton to Detroit and arrived on the banks of the Detroit River on July 5, 1812. There were only 150 British regulars, 300 militia, and 150 Indians on the Canadian side. Hull crossed easily at the present site of Windsor, Ont., which was then just a stretch of meadow, and set up his head- quarters at Baby's Farm.

QUEEN'S PARK Great Many } 'Still Oppose Breath Test By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Ottawa has indl- cated it will be acting on a breathalizer law this fall. This largely results from pres- sure by the Ontario section of the Canadian Bar Society, The Ontario section first studied and then approved a recommendation for compulsory breathalizer tests. It is noteworthy that large numbers were opposed to the recommendation, and still are. Some scientists also are op- posed on the grounds that sam- ples of breath are not a good test of sobriety. The key will be in the actual changes Ottawa pr d, which will have to be amendments to the Criminal Code. But they can be relatively in- nocuous. If it is made a simple offence to drive a motor vehicle with over a certain percentage of alcohol in the system, there can be no great objection. The impairment in driving would still have to be proven. But if a breathalizer reading is made an automatic convic- tion for the serious charge of impaired driving, there will be serious, and probably loud, op- position. PROUD FORCE The OPP has has been given a general wage increase, except for commissioned ranks. The raise is substantial, about 15 percent, but it is one that will be begrudged by few peo- ple, if any. The OPP is held in high es- teem by most people in the province, and deservedly so. In fact I believe most of us take great pride in the force. You never hear of alleged brutality and arrogance in the OPP--charges which with some of the larger municipal forces can be quite frequent. There would be two main reasons for this. One, that over the years the force has had understanding leadership at the top -- a series of men who grasped that the police must be the servants of the public. And two, that the work of the force is more varied than most other police bodies. And it has been able to attract and hold a fine calibre of man. This applied even when the pay was low. With this increase, an OPP constable will have a top pay of $7,300 a year, making it the highest-paid force in the province. Only five years ago the top was under $5,500. Notably, the quality of the force is being maintained des- pite great growth. In 1962 total strength was about 2,500 men. This year it will top 4,200. Yet the turnover rate is only about five percent, which is very low. YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, July 5, 1942 Beverly Stone, Pat Stubbins and Betty Bone, three little Osh- awa girls held a bazaar recently and raised $7.50 to purchase cigarettes for the boys over- seas. Major and Mrs. George Earle, formerly of Galt, have taken over command of the Oshawa Corps of the Salvation Army. 40 YEARS AGO, July 5, 1927 Six new apartment houses are to be built in Oshawa.
