6 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, May 18, 1953 Editorials The Pally Times-Gargite (Oshaws, Whitby), y 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario Difference Between Canadian And US. Systems Apparent Prime Minister St. Laurent, in a speech in the House of Commons after his return from his visit to President Eisenhower in Washington, brought out the difficulty in trying to do husiness with the head of the United States. He regretted that the best he could do was to express hopes that bene- ficial action on 'trade, defence and the St. Lawrence seaway would result from his con- ference with the U.S. President, That was as far as he could go, because, no matter how willing or anxious President Eisen- hower might be to meet Canada's views, his hands were absolutely tied, because there was no assurance that Congress would pass legislation he requested. That points up the essential difference between the Canadian and the United States system of government. In Canada, when the government has a workable majority in Parliament, it is possible for the govern- ment, through its head, to give a specific Oshawa Now Has , A history-making event occurred in Osh- awa on Monday, when, for the first time, a passenger coming by plane from the United States was cleared through customs at the Oshawa airport. This is something that has been forecast for some time, and it has now become a reality, with the provision by the city of facilities for the use of customs offi- cers at the airport. Now that this new syster- of handling passengers and materials coming from the United States direct to Oshawa, has been initiated, one can foresee a great increase in the traffic to and from Oshawa's airfield. Local firms will take advantage of the op- portunity of having business visitors from the United States fly direct to Oshawa, in- stead of to Malton, thereby saving consid- undertaking as to what action will be taken, and to know 'that this will be carried out. In the United States, however, neither the president nor any of his cabinet have seats in Congress, nor have they any control over Congress. Even if the party represented by the president has a majority in the two houses of Congress, there is no assurance that they will comply with his requests. There have been occasions without number when the wishes of a president have been rejected by both houses. For this reason, it is not possible to place too much reliarice on the expressed wishes of the president in connection with mat- ters in which Canada is vitally interested. At the best, he can only express his own opinions. It is quite a different matfer, how- ever, to have these wishes and opinions translated into legislative action. Therein lies the great ant very apparent weakness of the American system as compared with that in vogue in Canada. Customs Airport erable time. It is possible that they will also develop the practice of having essen- tial materials flown from United States points to Oshawa, to be cleared through customs here. This innovation has long been sought by the Oshawa chamber of Commerce and City Council, and it is a tribute to their per- severance that the city now has full recog- nition as a customs airport. This is one more step forward in the progress of Oshawa, one which makes it as a link of major import- ance in the chain of air transportation by which Canada is bound to the United States. The next step will be extension of the air- port so that it can handle air liners, and can be used as an alternative to Malton airport as a landing field when weather conditions make that necessary. When is a Holiday Not a Holiday? Mayor W. J. Naylor at the meeting of City Council on Monday evening, raised the question of whether he should or should not proclaim a civic holiday on June 2, the day of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. The members of the council promptly authorized him to do so, and in due course there will be a proclamation over the mayor's name, stating that June 2 is to be observed as a holiday in. Oshawa. That does not, of course, mean that the da will be a holiday and that the stores and industries will close down for the day. A proclamation by the mayor to this effect will be no more binding on anyone than was the federal government's proclamation, made in January, declaring June 2 to be a national holiday. Federal authorities are quite frank to admit that they can proclaim the day a holiday if they wish to do so, but they have no power of authority to force Editorial Notes We do not blame the City Council for balking at taking over rental control in Oshawa. If they did that, they waded really have a wild cat by the tail City Council has set a price of $100,000 on the present library building and property. Let us hope the bids received for it are somewhat better that those received for the old city hall. If some of the members of parliament had to live on the amount provided for in the War Veterans' Allowance Act, they would not be so ready tq yote against in- creasing it. ~~ The Daily Times-Gazette (OSHAWA, WHITBY) The Dally Times-Gazette (Oshawa, ) combining 'The Oshawa Times (established 1871) and The Whithy Gazette & Chronicle (established 1863) 1s dally « and statutory holiday excepted).

That being the case, it is possible that there will be even less authority behind 'a proclamation by His Worship the Mayor. In the case of the federal government, proclamation, it will be applied only to government employees and banks, and to the schools of Canada, but we doubt if it will go any further. Mayor Naylor might make his order effective so far as city employees are concerned, but he can exercise no control over anyone else. This being the case, it seems rather fool- ish to proclaim June 2 as a holiday when it is already known that it is not going to be generally observed as such in Oshawa. In fact, it begins to look as if the only holi- days which have any real force of law be- hind them are those specifically set in agree- ments made between management-and labor in industry. Other Editors' Views CUP THAT CHEERS (Halifax Chronicle-Herald) Every nation has its characteristic drink, some- times justifiably, To the Scots their whisky, to the Germans their beer, and to the English their tea, possibly because, as Cheserton remarked: 'Tea, al- though an Oriental, is a gentleman at least." But while the national taste must go unremark- ed, and while there have been in English history some notable tea-drinkers, such as Dr, Johnson, who is said to have habitually drunk 12 cups at a sitting, still there will be few who will not see some mea- sure of immoderation in the account of the English- man who for 11 years has daily fortified himself with no fewer than 90 cups of tea, liberally laced with milk and sweetened with sugar. It is as well that the tea-cup, while it cheers does not inebriate.

Two-thirds of those Canadians 21 ears of age or over, interviewed n a national Gallup Poll, which included all significant segments of the Canadian public, feel that recent peace moves from Russia are "propaganda". In conducting the Poll, this ques- tion was asked by opinion report- ers: "The Russian radio often claims that Russia wants to end the cold war, and seeks only peace, Do Chief qualifications came from those Canadians who say that sometimes they feel Russia is sin- cere, and sometimes not. Others qualified their answers by argu- ing. that Russia may be sincere, but that the West should adopt a cautious attitude. Still others main- tained that the Russian rank and file want peace, but not the Krem- In a somewhat similar Poll, the British Institute of Public Opinion found that the bulk of British vot- ers were either out and out suspi- you feel that this is sincere, or do#® you think this is only propa- ganda?"

World Copyright Reserved 100% QUEEN'S PARK Call For Stifter Car Driver Tests By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazette TORONTO --The southwestern Ontario branch of the Junior Cham- ber of Commerce is the most re- cent body to advocate stiffer tests for automobile drivers. The cham- ber specifically wants compulsory regular examinations of both driv- ers and cars. He is expressing what is becom- ing a widespread -dissatisfactio with the present system of licens- ing. So far this apparently hasn't had much effect here. There hasn't been any indication the department of highways is strongly Soncerney over the tests for our drivers. I has shown some concern, but noth- ing very pronounced. NEEDED NOW There can be little doubt, how- ever, that there is room for im- provement. Last year's accident figures again showed an alarming in- crease, and Highway safety has reached the critical point where any measures that are at all rea- sonable and will help should be taken. And 'precautions to keep bad drivers off the roads is certainly one of these. Tighter examination might be more trouble, for the public as well as the department. But eating can be troubled too, at times, but we still have to do it. MUCH SCOPE There is no doubt that our li- censing system could be improved. In New York state, for instance, it is said the tests are much more strict. Many of our drivers would not pass them. One suggestion that struck us as practical was that of the North- western Chamber of Commerce, that safety-testing equipment, such as that used by large industrial concerns should be used in the driving tests. It would detect such things as color-blindness, poor judgment of distance and slow re- flexes. WEAK ENFORCEMENT The matter, of course, once again leads to enforcement which is at the root of much of our safety problem, There isn't strict enough inter- pretation of the regulations, just as there isn't strict enough en- forcement of the highway laws. And it would seem inevitable that there won't he so long as Srioresment under the present sys- em. SEPARATE FORCE The weakness in this has been noted here before. The OPP is in charge of highway patrolling. But at the time when its patrols should be most intensive, at the height of the tourist season, it has the least men available for the work. There apparently is lack of work- ing harmony between the attorney- general's department and the high- ways department. And it is result- ing in a serious failure in coping with the safety problem. Recommends N.Y. State Develop Power OTTAWA (CP)--Transport Min- {ster Chevrier announced Tuesday in the Commons the United States federal power commission has re- ceived a recommendation from Glen Law, its exainer, for nam- ing the New York state power authority as the body to co-operate with Ontario in construction of the power works of the St. Lawrence seaway. Mr. Chevrier said he hopes the commission will accept the rec- ommendation 'in due course." Canada has backed the New York state application before the FPC, which must designate the U. S. agency to build the $450, 000,000 power facilities in co-oper- ation with the Ontario hydro-elec- tric commission.

Pope Urges Office Workers To Curb Their Tongues VATICAN CITY (Reuters)--The Pope's advice to office workers is to hold their tongues, avoid gossip and sex talk, and to get on with their jobs. The text of a speech by the Pope, made to 4,000 civil servants in the Basilica of St. Peter's Sun- day, was made public Monday. The pontiff said that unfortun- ately jokes are often made about sex, adding that it is even more regrettable when such talk '"'be- comes the instrument of slander, gossip or calumny." He told them not to discuss things they would not mention 'in the presence of your mother, your wife or daughter." "If you want to appear truly Christian, you must govern your tongues during the exercise of your duty," he told the civil servants. "You must know how to stay silent and how to speak at the proper time--but above all how to stay silent. . . "Every time that in your offices there is too much useless talk, of talk that has nothing to do with your work, your handling of the files would suffer inevitable delay, with harm, sometimes grave, to the persons concerned. "And if this talk should be not only useless but--God forbid--also harmful in itself, then even more energetically should you curb your tongues.'
