She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontari Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1967 'Candidates Must Show Us Where 'The Action Is' The similarity between the pro- grams proposed by the Conserva- tives and the platforms enunciated by the New Democrats and Liberals makes the provincial election cam- paign a difficult one to delineate on issues, * The Liberal leader for instance is ftressing the need for an over-all plan for modern municipal govern- ment and for an effective program for regional government, The NDP includes practically the same planks. And the Conservatives, with the Smith Report recommendation now on record, can also argue that they are already on the way to improving the one and instituting the other. Little in the way of a provincial- wide clash mushrooming to create a controversial issue is really avail- able in this field. Rather the province seems des- tined to a mild, almost business as usual political contest. Little has been presented to fire the imagina- alter- tion or to provide radical natives to the administration now in office. The campaign is likely to evolve around the personal appeal of candidates rather than any pro- vince-shaking issue. So if the cam- paign is not to lapse into lethargic limbo it rests with the candidates to create the interest required to make our democratic system func- tion efficiently. Why should Albert Walker be returned to another term? What has Cliff Pilkey to offer that Mr. Walker hasn't? Why does James Potticary merit support? Similar questions can be asked by the elec. torate in the new Ontario South riding, in the Ontario and Durham ridings with reference to those seek- ing office there. A selling job is required by each and everyone of the candidates to convince the voters they'll be electing competent spokes- men for their areas and not party ciphers to Queen's Park. Only a month is Jeft for the can- didates where the political action is in this provincial to show us campaign. * Channel Rightly Shelved Public opinion gained a temporary victory over what appeared to be partisan political influence when it was announced on Wednesday that the Channel 8 television issue had been referred back by the federal government to the Board of Broad- cast Governors. Without the wave of Channel 8 owners would have had clear sailing for establishing the Barrie outlet at Palgrave, 40 miles northwest of Toronto, as a. third : ' in the Toronto mar- protests, Criticism of the BBC sanctioning of the transfer took some note of the political favoritism shown in the decision but was mainly engendered through the fear that from its new location, Channel 8 would interfere with reception from Channels 2 and 4 in Buffalo.

In getting out from under at the moment, the Government has re- quested a proper study of the televi- sion situation in Southern Ontario to ensure that the maximum use is made of the relatively few TV chan- nels available, Why any decision was rendered in the first place on the Channel 3 application without such a study has to be another of those cases where the ways and thoughts of high placed administrative agencies induce perplexity and misgivings. As The Welland Tribune notes the arena in which this drama is cast is far too important for slip-shod or partisan methods of operation. Other Editors' Views IT'S A TRADITION A bill now before the Ohio legisla- ture would permit persons to will their bodies or parts of them to med- ical science. The bill is supported by medical schools, and by doctors. It is op- posed, however, by the Ohio Funeral Directors Association. The association, says a spokes- man, wants to preserve the "tradi- tional American way" of death and funerals. --Ottawa Citizen an OH ag QUEEN'S PARK \ NDP To Fight Election On 117 Fronts By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--As this is write ten, the Libérals and the NDP have launched their election campaigns and Premier Robarts is just about to make his kick-off. So what are they saying? Probably the most notewor- thy observation to date was made by NDP leader Donald MacDonald. Mr. MacDonald, in his cam- paign opener delivered to a party policy meeting, said the election will be a riding-by-rid- ing fight. And this does appear to be the most significant fact at this stage about the eleciton. It appears that it most likely will be 117 little elections rather than a broad battle . NOTHING EXCITING This is most evident when you scan the initial speeches of the two opposition leaders. They naturally are trying to bring forth issues, but they hardly can get excited them- selves about the material they have. Liberal leader Robert Nixon is trying to run a "'positive" campaign--which would be at least partially because John Wintermeyer's concentration on crime in 1963 boomeranged so badly. But Mr. Nixon is demonstrat- ing once again that often being positive also means being unex- citing. The Liberal leader is talking about the need for "an over-all plan for modern municipal gov- ernment', "an effective pro- gram for regional govern- ment", a highway program that will open up areas for develop- ment, a fair taxation policy, etc. Mr. MacDonald is covering roughly the same ground. And obviously, while both men have to do this, parties in elections must present pro- grams. Neither of them is going to get very far with these pro- grams--at least as of now. There is no sex appeal in what they have come up with to date, and little change they will uncover anything. SWINGS LOCALLY Which means the election probably will swing on the rid- ings themselves, and local issues and the local candidates. Normally this is a situation which you would presume would favor the NDP. It has had good success in byelections, where there can be intensive campaigning of a door-to-door character. But in this case there are two reasons why the situation is probably to the benefit' of the government. One is that the intensive cam- paigning used by the NDP in byelections requires a lot of bodies, particularly at top level, And it doesn't have these bod- ies for a general campaign. The other reason is that most PC members are well-en- trenched locally, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, Sept. 13, 1942 Mr. J. W.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS Consistency Of De Gaulle By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst President de Gaulle's current visit to Poland should make clearer to Canadians what moves the man and why he should come here to espouse the slogans of Quebec separa- tists. He has been more circum- spect in choosing his words to the Poles but the message was clear: think as a great power should, like France, he told them. The characteristic thoughts of France in interna- tional polities all tend to reduce merican and Russian _influ- ence, to end the state gf affairs where the world's real 'power is divided between Moscow and Washington; he wants a third great power consisting mainly of European nations other than Russia, a third power that will shift its support this way and that, as circumstances demand, to prevent Russia or America from becoming dominant. There was, once, in de Gaulle's thinking a_ strategic consideration: a third power with a nuclear force could decide the outcome of any war between the other two and thereby force them to keep the peace. With the rapid develop- ment of missiles and hydrogen bomb stockpiles, this element of de Gaulle's thinking has receded into the background-- fear of mutual annihilation makes the others keep the peace. His main concern is to prevent the fate of the world from being decided by the U.S. and the USSR the two colossi which control seventy-five per- cent of the world's productive - capacity. WAY OF THE WORLD The way this capacity is allo- cated has decisive influence on the way the world shall go. To put it crudely, what the U.S. and Russia will want to buy will be what the rest of the world will have to produce and sell; conversely, the rest of the world will have to use the dol- lars and roubles it earns to buy what Russia and the U.S. are prepared to sell. De Gaulle thinks in broad Philosophical lines. He asks himself whether the world should become gadget mad, emphasizing material over i - On Hill Happiness Is Young Musicians OTTAWA--Many happy and health groups of clean - cut young Canadians have been passing through Ottawa this centennial summer,, entertain- ing the large crowds on Parlia- ment Hill with their talents. There have been orchestras and marching bands and choirs and dancing groups. Many of these are high school bands; many wear striking uniforms they al] seem to be enjoying themselves, as much as their audiences have enjoyed them. One day last week I noticed a boy wearing a smart, clean and well-pressed blue and white quasi-military uniform, with gold stripes down each trouser leg and gold buttons on the tunic; he "was studying the statue of Sir John A. Macdon- ald. This was 17-year-old Ken- neth Bingham, of Summerside, P.E.I., high school, who is tour- ing Canada with the Royal Canadian Legion band of Sum- merside. These 48 boys and girls have been on the road since July £7, and it will be another week before they return home. Their travels have been a wonderful experience for them, taking them right across the country, performing at Expo, at the Pan-American Games in Winni- peg, and at many other places such as Vancouver--"the most beautiful city we have seen'-- and Flin Fion--"just one great big rock." Of all the imaginative, excit- ing, satisfying and even phony manifestations of our birthday year on Parliament Hill, the happiest have been these visit- ing groups of young Canadian musicians. Kenneth Bingham happens to be the one name in mind today, and I salute him on behalf of them all. MPs ABSENT FROM WORK The poor attendance of MPs in the House of Commons, and especially their absenteeism from votes, was recently men- tioned in this column. I named some 16 Conservative MPs who had especially good or noticea- bly bad records. The name of one of the latter was included ® in the heading placed on my story by his local newspaper. He has not questioned the accu- racy of my story, but I am told that he commented rather sour- ly that Patrick Nicholson is the only political writer in Ottawa who pokes into the dark corners to find dirt. I could retort that brilliance in the open is also reported in this column, even about him- self. Instead I shall merely assert that, if MPs insist on absenting themselves into dark corners, it is my job to report what they are doing there. QUEBEC VIEWPOINT Another reader comments about Ottawa Report's recent suggestion that Quebec is legiti- mately demanding the restora- tion to it of the fields of juris« diction set apart for every province by our constitution, and that our other provinces should do the same. Gerald Martineau, a promi- nent political figure in Quebec City, kindly writes me his "con- gratulations for a very, very I, courageous article--it is by far the best article written in the English language newspapers that I have read in a long time +. you will most likely get a lot of criticisms from the West." It is gratifying to receive that comment from such a promi. nent figure, and to note his agreement with this column's viewpoint that the 'centralise ers" in Ottawa should restore --to all provincial governments ---the rights which they have usurped. No Westerner has cri- ticised this, but Mr. Martineau will be interested to learn that I © have received letters of agree- ment like his from the West and from Ontario. On the same topic, James Williams of Galt writes "con- gratulations on your outspoken article 'the aftermath of de Gaulle." What a pity that in a country of so few patriots, the few there are should all be French-Canadian. I wholly agree with and support the views you state so well," other values, spending its resources to that end. He sees both Russia and the U.S, tend- ing that way. Their . gigantic size enables them to command to their customers and sup- pliers, as we have seen, and enables them, therefore, to determine the course human society will take. De Gaulle is firmly convinced that despite their material suc- cess, the Americans and the Russians are less wise than are the Europeans; that the values of the Russian and American, societies are wrong. He wants to fight them and that is why he is trying to forge a third force. Canada, he would say, is unfortunately a part of the American way of life which he wants to fight. Quebec is the one part of Canada that has not yet succumbed totally to Ame- ricanism; Quebec, therefore should be encouraged to look to France as an alternative. If the rest of Canada, for the sake of unity, moves towards Quebec, de Gaulle would feel he has loosened the grip of American- ism on Canada, just as he is trying to loosen the grip of Rus- sianism on Poland. Key Confederation Confab Held In Charlottetown By BOB BOWMAN Two battles for Canada were fought on Sept. 13. The first, in 1759, was one of the most important in the world when Wolfe captured Quebec. The other battle was political, and led to Confederation. As this is Confederation year, and the story of Wolfe's exploit has been told many times, it might © be appropriate today to look back on Sept. 13, 1864. The Charlottetown conference had originally been arranged by the Maritime provinces to discuss the possibility of form- ing a union of their own, Can- ada had sent a delegation there to try to sell the broader plan of Confederation. Although the Charlottetown conference had been a success and a great deal of Maritimes suspicion of Canada had been dispelled, some of the delegates were still not convinced that confederation would be better than Maritime union. They asked for more time and arranged their own private meeting in Halifax. ASKED CANADIANS It was after this meeting that the Maritimers called the Cana- dians in, and told them that they were willing to consider further steps. It was arranged to go on to Saint John, N.B., and then get down to brass tacks in a conference to be held in Quebec on Oct. 10. John A. Macdonald predicted that Confederation would make British North America "at least the fourth nation of the face of the globe."" During a dinner at Stubb's Hotel in Saint John a few days later George Etienne Cartier stood on a table and sang God Save the Queen in French and English, The dele- gates believed that it would be possible to bring about Confed- eration within a year. There were a number of fac- tors that made Confederation desirable. Britain had adopted free trade which hurt the North American colonies. Relations with the U.S. were strained because of incidents in the Civil War, and it seemed likely that a profitable reciprocal trade - agreement would not be rene ewed.

And, being a preacher, he doesn't say what it makes him think, é, ( Canada and the Atlantic prov- inces should be removed. Then there was also the pos- sibility that the U.S. might try to capture Canada and the only hope of survival would be a united defence, The Maritimers wanted a railway service to Canada, and made that their most important condition for joining Confederation. The Canadians were in an almost impossible political stalemate, and they hoped that it would be broken by the addition of Atlan- tic members.

CANADIANS WORRY MOST ABOUT 'MAKING ENDS MEET' &y THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION . ' (World Copyright Reserved) i About one-third of the Canadian population 82% is worrying today about "making ends meet." This ties in with an earlier Poll which disclosed that 36% of the people said lack of money and the high cost of living were their greatest problems. It is no surprise to find that women (36%), who do the , household shopping, worry more about the economics of living than men -- 27%, Next main worry is "having enough money in old age," ensntioned by 19% of the public. On the other hand, nearly six-in-ten of the people (58%) do not worry about security in old age. The question: "Would you say that you worry a lot or mot a lot about these things?" Worry A. Worry A_ Do Not ' Lot Little Worry 1. Making both ends meet 32% 32% 36% 2. Having enough money 19 23 58 in old age! 3. Your health 18 27 55 4. Having reasonable 18 23 57 housing 8. Keeping your job 18 15 «7 6, Getting proper food 17 18 65 As mentioned above, women are greater worriers than men except in one sphere -- "keeping your job." But on the whole, Canadians worry more than do Britons. A similar eurvey conducted in the United Kingdom shows that only 18% of the public there worries about "making both ends meet'? as against 32% of the Canadian people. This difference comes through in all the other potentially worrisome details. MANAGE RC (Wen svagnasionman iit Trinidad PM Prickly Pear' In Politics Of West Indies By R. M. THOMSON PORT OF SPAIN (CP)--Dr. Eric Williams, prime minister and minister of community development for Trinidad and Tobago, has been a prickly pear of West Indian politics for the last 10 years. A widower with one daughter, the 55-year-old prime minister has devoted most of his life to education and public affairs. At various times he has come into serious conflict with Brit- ain, the United States and many of the other West Indian islands in his drive for inde- pendence, economic security and Caribbean leadership for his island nation off the coast of South America. Despite his previous anti- American bias, last February he led his country into member- ship in the United States-domi- nated Organization of American States. Trinidad and Tobago was the first Commonwealth Caribbean government to join. The lure of the large Latin American market and of possi- ble loans from the Inter-Ameri- can Development Bank 'made membership in the OAS desira- ble in the face of possible loss of British markets and financial aid, especially if Britain joins the European Common Market. On the other hand The Doc- tor, as he is affectionately known, has been wary of join- ing the Caribbean Free Trade Area being organized by Barba- dos, Guyana and Antigua. He has bluntly called the propo- nents 'babes in the woods', not the first time he has offended leaders on other Common- wealth islands. Born in 1911, Dr. Williasns attended school in the West Indies until 1931 when he went to Oxford University to read modern history. In 1938 he received the degree of doctor of philosophy. Next year he became assistant professor o social and political science a Howard University, Washing ton, D.C. He rose to full profes. sorship in 1947, «* Today he continues his lin) with higher education as pro chancellor of the University 0 the West Indies. He holds as honorary doctor of laws degres from the University of New Brunswick, conferred in 1965, Earlier, in 1934, he became consultant for the Anglo-Ameri- can Caribbean Commission-- later the Caribbean Commis- sion--in Washington. He returned to Trinidad in 1948 as research secretary of the com- mission and later became dep- uty chairman of the research council of the commission. In January, 1956 he founded the People's National Move- ment and won the general elec- tions the following September. Unlike many of the West Indies islands, Trinidad political par- ties are not political arms of unions, For a while Dr. Williams feuded with the United States over return of the Chaguara- mas base which had been granted to the U.S. by Britain on a 99-year lease. A compro- mise agreement was finally reached, In 1958 elections were held for the first Caribbean Federa- tion parliament, but Dr. Wil- liams, with his newly-formed party only two years in power, avoided the broader political field. When Jamaica seceded from the foundering West Indies fed- eration in 1961, Dr. Williams rejected further continuance of the federation and proposed the dozen or so smaller islands remaining join Trinidad in a 'unitary state'. When 'the other islands rejected Dr. Williams's leadership in a unified nation, he led his country into inde- pendence separately. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 13, 1967... The Canadian Corps was established 57 years ago--in 1915--when the 2nd Cana- dian Division arrived at the front in France. A British general was appointed com- mander and Brig. Arthur Currie was promoted gen- eral-in-command of the Ist Division. Two years later he became the first non- regular officer to command the corps. Because he refused the command of the division to Sir Sam Hughes' son, Currie was hounded by creditors in Canada and his character attacked after the war. But under his lead- ership the Canadian Corps preserved its identity and became one of the most feared attack forces of the First World War. 1759--Gen. Wolfe was killed in battle on the ' Plains of Abraham. 1943--C hiang Kal-Shek was "elected" president of the Chinese Republic. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--Russia proclaimed a republic. British planes con- ducted a naval air raid on the German airfield at Zee- brugge.
