Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1967 More Effective Controls Figures of drug addiction in Canada give false comfort. The num- ber of addicts is placed between 8,200 and 3,500 in the last ten years and the proportionate increase has not been as great as the increase in population. In the United States there are from 60,000 to 100,000 ad- dicts. In Britain, where the drug problem has only recently become of much concern, there may be 2,000 known cases and the figure is ris- ing sharply. The word "addict" is applied to users of drugs under international control, including opium, morphine, heroin, cocaine and marijuana, While Canada has no more than 10,- 000 citizens who are dependent on drugs. Many of them have never touched the old "horror" drugs. They are trapped by the so-called "new" drugs, but they are not call- ed "addicts," officially. The Government publication, Canada's Health and Welfare, has an article on a modern approach to the problem of drug addiction. It discusses the start of the program under which drug addicts who run afoul of the law may be confined to treatment centres segregated from penitentiaries, The first feder- ' Needed Of 'New Drugs' al custody - for - treatment centre was opened at Matsqui, B.C., in March, 1966, and 132 men and 23 women are given psychiatric and group therapy in treatment units. The limited success achieved in curing drug addiction makes impera- tive continued effort to reduce the availability of habit-forming drugs. The international control of morphine, heroin and the like, sup- ported by strong national enforce- ment regulations, is not available yet to check the drugs used in goof balls, pep pills or LSD. The Health Department's narcotic and controll- ed drugs division in Ottawa keeps a private record of abusers of such drugs, and officials hope that action by the Canadian Parliament and in- ternational authorities will make controls more effective soon. The abuse of drugs, as The Ot- tawa Journal notes, is a tragedy of the times and the old thinking that an addict had best be in jail is no longer acceptable. There has to be treatment for the addicts -- what- ever drugs they use -- and also treatment, remorseless and untir- ing, for the vultures who prey on human misery by making drugs available for sale illegally. Flagmen Falter On Job This is the season of the vear when construction work on streets and highways has reached peak pro- portions. At a time when tourist travel is at its peak it is inevitable that traffic jams should result. This type of work has to be done when weather conditions are most able. For that reason we have no fault to find with governments and contractors carrying out this type of work at this time. Our real beef is with the type suit- She Oshawa Times €. C.

Either they are tired from long periods on their feet or lack the knowledge to do an intelligent job, It has been our experience that many of them stand looking into space with the flag hanging limply by their side while drivers attempt to figure out for themselves whether to stop or proe ceed. Contractors no doubt are at- tempting to make a profit on their operation by hiring personnel who are available; but we think they should make an effort to secure men who are capable of assessing situ- ations and making decisions so that a fairly normal traffic flow can be maintained and accidents avoided. Other Editors' Views RAY OF HOPE Just when the prospects of glohal serenity seemed darkest, a cheering note has appeared in the Diners Club Magazine, Signature, to wit: "U.S.S.R.

A world in which that kind of faith persists hasn't gone comple- tely to pot. -Chicago Daily News RELUCTANT TORY CANDIDATE QUEEN'S PARK Conflict On Confabs Avoided By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One source of argument between the federal government and here has been removed, Prime Minister Pearson in calling his conference on a Bill of Rights has avoided conflict with Premier Robarts Confed- eration of Tomorrow meeting. Mr. Pearson has suggested that his conference should be in January or February. While Mr. Robarts' of course, is in late November. In addition to being polite, this was common sense on Mr, Pearson's part Actually. there now would appear to be strong hope of making some real progress in reform of the constitution. FIRST STEP Mr. Robarts' meeting, which is to discuss what is wrong with the present constitution is a loge ical first step. While an attempt to work out a federal-provincial tights is a practical sec- the area in which there is some reason to hope that all of the governments might be able to get together. One strong point in its favor, of course, is that there is no money involved Not that there won't be obsta- cles For example it has been sug- gested that one of the points that should be considered is the position of French-Canadians who are living in other proy- inces than Quebec This might blow any confer- ence sky-high. But all in all the prospects are reassuring. FARM GRADUATES The government is opening another agricultural school at Centralia--the former federal air force base which has been purchased from Ottawa This is one of the steps being taken to somehow or other get more highly-skilled farmers and farm scientists, While. we apparently have more farmers than we should have today, we still don't have nearly the number of highly- trained men we should have. In other words farming is in the same category as medicine, welfare and so many other fields. Probably our most important problem is the short- age of .professional men and women and trained technicians. And really you can't be opti- mistic that the situation will be met in the foreseeable future. For while we make some pro- gress in providing more train- ing facilities the demand for skilled people appears to be growing faster than the new plant and personnel to staff it can be provided.

The present duly elected lead- er has neither resigned nor died; so it would be correct. to argue that it would be a profit- less exercise to elect a new leader before the office has been made vacant. But opinion here believes it unlikely that John Diefenbaker would precip- itate a bloody rupture in his party by insisting on this tech- nicality. Rather, if he wishes to continue as leader, he would offer himself as a candidate. Nine men are declared con- testants as I write. But, despite extravagant claims made by or on behalf of some, I 'think nobody would be surprised to see a multiple tie for the lead on the first ballot. In other words, there is today no obvious front runner; nobody of whom one could predict with as- surance--as was widely predict- ed with accuracy before the 1956 convention--that a certain can- didate will win o n the first bal- lot As the field has built up this year, each newcomer has upset the calculations and indeed the hopes of those in the race before him. Davie Fulton was the front runner and only can- didate at one time; then George Hees entered the race, relegat- ing 'Fulton to the position of second favorite. Then Donald Fleming reluctantly but loyally accepted the draft by many prominent Conservatives, and he at once received massive support. CANADA-WIDE APPEAL Today Fleming and Hees remain the only two really national candidates. The others dependd largely onre gional pockets for support. 0a INFLUENCE SEEN Understatement, Stanfield Trademark By DON ANGUS HALIFAX (CP )--'We're ing a guy down to meet ou. He can't speak but we good," mild recommendation introduced Robert Stanfield to voters on Nova Scotia's East- ern Shore 20 years ago. It was fitting, however, because understatement has become the trademark of the When he announced to a get a Conservative seat in a press conference that he legislature almost swept would seek the leadership, a clean by the Liberals of reporter reminded him that Angus I..

A rally in ighboring Dartmouth racted three people--two organizers and the freshman but by 1949 the reju- ated Tories put Stanfield he House with seven other man who was to perform the miracle of ousting the Liber- als after 23 years in power in the province A reluctant candidate for the national leadership of the Progressive Conservative party, the 53-year-old premier stepped into the crowded race as if he were dipping his toes into ice cold bath water. In the days after he announced his candidacy July 19, his modest appraisals of his own chances bordered on self-depreciation. But cam- paigning, quietly and without flamboyance, has warmed him up. When Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin became the ninth candidate for the Sept. 5-9 leadership convention in Toronto, Mr. Stanfield declared: "Mr. Roblin fs a friend of mine, but I'm in this race to win." Despite the terse statement of confidence and determina- tion, Robert Lorne Stanfield doesn't take himself ali that seriously. "One bit of foolishness at a time is enough." Mr. Stanfield said he had not really expected to enter the race and hinted there was strong persuasion involved. But he won't say who or what influenced him. "Some. of this centennial business washed off on me," he says. "Some people sug- gested that if I was a good Canadian I should be willing to put up with some personal inconvenience." Premier Stanfield isn't unaccustomed to having his arm twisted. And he's used to starting from scratch. Prof. Graham Murray of Dalhousie University was one of the Tory organizers who attempted the semi-apologeiic courtship of the Nova Scotia electorate in the dark days of 1947. This handful of Conserv- ative faithfuls knew the 33- year-old lawyer from Truro wouldn't win votes with elo- quence. A few weeks before, Bob Stanfield had just been one of the faithfuls pondering how te among us." Robert Stanfield, with hon- ors in political science from Dalhousie and a law degree from Harvard, 'had the money, time, education, good family and background of leadership," Prof. Murray says. 'He was probably groomed for this sort of thing anyway." The grooming began with father Frank, many years a legislature member and later lieutenant-governor of the province. Uncle John died-a Conservative senator and elder brother Frank, late president of the family under- wear firm, Stanfield's Ltd., at Truro, N.S., served two terms in the House of Commons. Robert was called "the non-political Stanfield" in his youth and Prof, Murray says he didn't seek out the leader- ship post. However, "immedi- ately on being chosen he took off in his car and_ travelled from Sydney to Yarmouth"-- from the north of Cape Breton [sland to the inain- land's southern tip. Mr. Stanfield was elected party members and the. tide began to turn. In 1953 the Conservatives won 12 seats and three years later, two years after the death of Premier Macdonald, Robert Stanfield at 42 was sworn in as Canada's young- est premier. He once said he entered politics because "there were too damn many Liberals around,"' and once in power Premier Stanfield was deter- mined the 23-year Liberal reign would remain broken for a long time. The Stanfield philosophy quickly evolved--a gospel of secondary industrial develop- ment and a spirit dedicated to economic expansion, diver- sification and planning. He established Industrial Estates Ltd., to attract new secondary industry to a prov- ince where the economy had been pinned to thinning resources, and he _ enlisted businessmen, fishermen, farmers and lumbermen irto the boot-straps-lifting pro- gram of voluntary econcmic planning. Nova Scotia's premier Stans field is perhaps a_ reluctant pawn on the chess board; some people say he was put there for the specific purpose of cutting into the support which an undeclared candidate, Dief, would otherwise receive from the Maritimes. Stanfield has solid support from his own province, but no bridge into Quebec, and little support in the West despite claims to the contrary. Manitoba's premier Roblin is a surprise and tardy entry, resented by many federal Tories for his indecision about entering federal politics during the past five years; so he has perhaps only 45 per cent sup- port even in his own province. But he has penetrated into Que- bec, cutting especially into the support which Fulton had pain- stakingly developed there; how- ever Quebec's Premier Johnson has formally denied the claim that he supports Roblin. Alvin.Hamilton has more sup- port than anyone else on the Prairies, but he is weak in Que- bec and in most big cities. Mike Starr has scattered support among labor and ethnic circles. Senator McCutcheon is gaining support as he emulates the gal- lant role which Chubby Power played in the 1948 Liberal lead- ership race: warning his own party about the wrong path he considers it to have taken. BALLOTS NEED TACTICS John Diefenbaker is believed here to have more grass roots support right across Canada than any declared candidate. This is why none of the others have set the heather alight. If he should seek confirmation in the office of leader, he is con- sidered likely to win 40 per cent of the votes on the first ballot, although he has handicapped himself by not campaigning and marshalling support. This would put him in the lead. What would happen then would depend upon whether his arch-critic Dalton Camp could so manipulate the other candi- dates that they would all agree to throw their support behind one of themselves picked as an anti-Diefenbaker candidate. How individual voting delegate would react to such a manoeu- vre is problematical. Well-informed Conservatives here see the convention shaping up as a battle in which Dief the Chief will fight to protect his party from falling under the control of what he regards as the Dalton Camp group of reac- tionaries, Faced By Broom Brigade, American Raiders Left ' By BOB BOWMAN Nova Scotia, which included New Brunswick, might easily have been captured by the United States during the Ameri- can Revolutionary War. George Washington, on the advice of Benedict Arnold, made the mis- take of attacking Montreal and Quebec first, and was defeated. If he had sent an army to capture Nova Scotia, he might have closed off the St. Law- rence and prevented British reinforcements from arriving. In 1775 there were only 126 sol- diers fit for the duty of defend- ing Halifax, let alone the rest of the province. A number of British states- men were in favor of abandon- ing Nova Scotia. Edmund Burke said in the House of Commons "Good God! What sum the nursing of the ill-thriv- en and ill-favored brat has cost this witto! nation! Sir, this col- ony has stood us in the sum of not less than 700,000 pounds. To this day it has made no repay ment. It does not even support those offices of expense which are miscalled its government; the whole of that job still lies upon the patient callous shoul- ders of the people of England." SYMPATHY FOR CAUSE There was also a great deal of sympathy for the American cause, because many of the set tlers had come from the New England states to replace the Acadians when they were deported in 1755. Gradually this . sympathy changed to emnity owing to raids by American pri- vateers, One place where the raiders were not always successful was the fishing village of Lockepoit. The men of the village were away fishing when an Ameri- can ship appeared. The women paraded along a point of land- ing leading to the entrance of the harbor. They carried brooms as though they were guns, and drums. The raiders thought they were soldiers and sailed away The arrival of thousands of United Empire Loyalists later in the war added to anti-Amerl- can sentiment.

Its capi- tal is Providence, its prime minister is Ludwig Erhard and its citizens speak Portuguese. Two of Canada's provinces are Albuquerque and Ecuador. And Canada has joined with the United States in a continental defence organization called the Great Northern Lights. These are several of the more bizarre answers that turned up on a test given in 1966 to 1,000 U.S. high school students. The replies are likely to amuse most Canadians, but are far from amusing to Stanley R. Tupper and Dr. Douglas L. Bai- ley, authors of the recently- published Canada and the United States--The Second Hun- dred Years. Tupper, commissioner-gen- eral for U.S. participation in Expo 67, previously served three terms as a Republican member of the House of Repre- sentatives from Maine. Bailey is public affairs consultant to Republican members of Con- gress. ANGERS CANADIANS Tupper and Bailey cite the results of the high school test as indicative of an "appalling ignorance' of Canada _ which pervades the United States. The reason for the ignorance, they say, is that Americans too readily take Canada for grant- ed. Although the U.S. may no longer wish to annex Canada, "in a real sense the common American attitude toward Can- ada is no less cavalier and no less infuriating to Canadians than it was a century ago." The tragedy of this attitude, the authors say, is that it may prevent the two countries work- ing together in the next century "to make of the North Ameri- can continent a model for rela- tions between _ independeat nations."" For "if Canada and the United States cannot create mutual political institutions which will allow man to survive in the nuclear age, then what nations can?" VITAL DEFENCE FACTOR The authors examine mutual problems facing the two neigh- boring countries and make recommendations on most. Foreign policy: The United States has much to gain from a truly independent Canadian voice in international affairs. Canada, as a middle power, bas time to experiment in interna- tional relations, and the results of these experiments can be judged on their merits hy the United States. Defence: Canada, with its string of early-warning lines, provides the U.S. with the 20 minutes vital to the American deterrence concept. Continental economy: The prosperity of the future depends upon the co-operation between Canada and the United Stares, But this will only come about "if the Americans realize the extent of their economic power and place realistic restraints upon it." ' Problems of the hemisphere: Canada, already deeply involved with Latin America through its aid programs, should become a member of the Organization of American States to provide an independ- ent voice, ease distruct of the United States within the OAS and work with the U.S. in 'the battle to preserve the security of the Latin nations." Water: Canada must realize the pressing shortage of usable water facing the United States, Granting the U.S. its needs would provide Canada with a new source of revenue and also "an extraordinary lever' in its relations with its powerful neighbor. Despite the call by Tupper and Bailey for "a truly inde- pendent Canada,"' the authors say they are confident that the cultural, historical and political compatibility of Canada and the United States "will never per- mit substantive disparity" in the goals of the two countries. The major goal of both, they say, should be the '"'building on the North American ~ontinent of a durable model for relations between and among independ- ent nations--attentive {to the national interests of each, devoted to the prosperity of both and compassionate toward the human needs of all," TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 28 1967... Count Leo Tolstoy, one of the world's great classical writers, was born at Yasra- ya Poliana in Russia 139 years ago today--in 1828. Tolstoy did not distinguish himself at university but by 1854 he was making his mark as a writer with a number of brilliant sketches of the Crimean War. After his return from the war Tolstoy freed the serfs on his estate, became revolu- tionary in his educational schemes for the peasants and became known as a social reformer. He mar- ried in 1862 and began his two masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina. He continued writing for a number of years, gradually giving himself up to studies and to the needs of the poor, 1904--First U.S. traffic jail sentence: five days for second speeding offence at 20 m.p.h. 19683--Mixed crowd of about 200,000 held demon- strations for civil rights movement at Lincoln Memorial, Washington.
