@ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, 'Wednesday, ] ditorial Nevember 18, 1958 The Daily TimesGasetts (Oshawa. Whitby), § 7 Simcoe Street South, > by Times-Gazette Publishers, Limited Oshawa, Ontario THE ANN Council Wise In Giving Up R- Vote On Arena Plebiscite . Although the proposals were defeated only by a tie vote in the City Council, the abandonment of the plan to ask the rate- payers of Oshawa to vote on whether or not the city should issue debentures for $700,000 to build a new skating arena was a wise step. The idea, sprung on the citizens last week as a surprise move, caught the people of Oshawa quite un- prepared, as there had been no previous mention of any such plan to replace the arena which was destroyed by fire some weeks ago. Since it would have required a long campaign of public education, and of explanations of the proposal, the time between now and the municipal election date was far too short to have public op- inion crystalized on the project. Prior to the abandonment of the plan to take a plebiscite on the subject, we felt there were too many questions to which there were no apparent answers. For 'instance we wondered whether there were any definite plans and specifications for the proposed arena on which the City Council baged its estimate of $700,000. Many people were asking that question, Others were asking Whether the plans visualized only a skating arena for hoc- key, or whether consideration had been given to the possibility of a community centre in which the skating rink would be one of meny facilities for recreation. The question of Whether provision would be made for two skating surfaces, one for hockey and figure skating and anothers for children learning to skate, has also been asked, ; In view of these uncertainties, and also because of the unprepared state of the public mind, we feel it was a wise move on the part of those aldermen who voted against the Plebiscite to abandon the idea, for the present, at least. It is our opinion that private interests, with an interest in hockey, at least, should make some move in the direction of plan- ning for a new arena before the matter is thrown before the taxpayers for a vote on a debenture issue of such proportions US. Trade Deficit Growing In August, the Bureau of Statistics reports that Canada sold to the US $1909,000,000 worth of goods but bought from the U.S. $247,000,000 worth. Can- ada's deficit for 'the month, therefore was 48,000,000 compared with 81,000,000 in August of last year. In eight months of 1958, Canada's adverse balance with the U.S. has reached the disturbing total of $587,000,000, In the past, and notably in post-war years, we made up our trade deficit with the US. by a trade balance with other eountries. We are not doing that now. Aec- $ually, In the first eight months of this year, exporting less to other countries, we have had an eight-month overall de- ficit of $206,000,000 compared with a $852,000,000 surplus for the same period of last year. The truth is that Canada has too many trading eggs is the U.S. basket, We want trade with the U.S.; certainly we should pever want te neglect trading with a nation wight at our door and with 150,- 000,000 people Who are in a position to buy more and pay for more than any other people in the world. But trade can- not be all one way. We just cannot go on buying more and more from the U.S. if the U.S. is not prepared to buy more from us. That, continuéd too long, must inevit- ably leave us at that economic mercy of the US. ' Laboye leaders in the U8. are now urging ts in the Eisenhower admin- istration's high tariff walls. Such cuts, they say, would not, as is generally be- lieved, boost America's unemployment figures. On the contrary, they contend, # would opin up free trade, stimulate competition and, by and large, eventu- ally arrest the rise in prices. Let us 'hope these words coming as they do frem America's top labour lead- ers may eventually provide the added weight necessary to make Congress real- ize that this practically one-way traffic in trade could, eventually, act as a boomerang against the U.S. Double Danger Of Democracy A Bwiss writer deals with the hasards of democracy as follows: Demoeracy doubtless is the most pre- carious form of govornment that exists, because in i the state continuously re- constitutes itself according to the wishes of the people and its groups, while a con- fusing variety of ideas and passions press for political realization. It is a form ef government necessarily in a style of per- petual unrest and instability. Democracy is threatened by a double danger, Either the individual rights are emphasized so strongly as to lead a gen- eral indifference toward the community, each person building for himself his own altars within his state free sphere, with the state easily becoming the prey of a determined minority, Or the idea of the community is interpreted so extensively Other Editors' Views STUDY OWN LANGUAGE (Peterborough Examiner) Young Canadians have some ambition, though this quality is not so common as we wish it were, Many of them want to get on in life ang improve their circumstances. Yet, hundreds of thousands of them are too stupid and lasy to realize that a study of their own language in all its variety is one of the keys to promotion, The Daily Times-Gazette Publisned By TIMES GAZETTE PUBLISHERS LIMITED Simcoe Street South, Oshawa Daily DNimes-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) com! ™ Doane Times( established 1871) Nag the & Chronicl i 1863) is « and di Member of The Canadian Press, the Canadian Daily Newspa Association and the Ontario Provincial Dailies Circulation. publication of all news despatehes in the paper credited to it or to The Associated Press or Reuters, and also the local news published therein.

The national results: : More out of work ' Fewer out of work ..Just about the same No opinion 8M uopsend mY jew ee] A made the subject of a national Gallup Poll was in June of 1950. Figures obtained at that period of the year would undoubtedly re- flect seasonal employment, usually more favorable in summer. How- ever, even with this in mind, the contrast is interesting. In June, 1050, only twenty per cent of those interviewed thought there would be more people out of work in the next few months, while 63 per cent felt there would be fewer out of work. Eleven per cent in 1950 thought there would be no change, compared with 29 per cent today who expect no change. In most previous opinion studies evidence has been that people liv-# ing in the Maritime province are more concerned with the unem- ployment picture than people liv- ing in other areas of Canada, with the exception of British Columb- ians. In the current Poll, however, fears of greater unemployment are 'estern -Can- People who are members of a labor union, or who have someone in their immediate family in unions, reacted in much the same way to the question as did nom- union members, except for a slight decrease in the number of "undecided" in the ranks of union members.

World Copyright Reserved PARIS LETTER Presidential Campaign Sees Wives In Action By FRANCES KNECHT PARIS, France--Political observ- ers are looking forward serious- ly to the forthcoming presidential election due before the end of the year. The president is elected for a period of seven years by all the members of the National Assem- bly (House of Representatives and 'the National Council (Senate), together a thousand voices re- resenting the nation. The presi- Sent must win an absolute major- ity, that is to say half of the votes plus one or more -- a minimum of 51 per cent, Bb ing there are four candi- dates, representing the various po- litical parties, it is very difficult for one man to have this majoriy, so, consequently there will be con- secutive rounds of voting until one wins the favour of half the elec- torate. Each main political party mus- ters its forces in order to present the most suitable candidate. The Communists will certainly have their candidate, the Radicals also, as well as the Independents. The MRP (Popular Republican Movement) and the Gaulists known as the URAS (Republican Union of Socialist Action) possibly. The So- cialists might also have their can- didate. The majority of observers think that either a Radical, Monsieur Queille or Monsieur Delbos has the best chance. Some others are rath- er of the opinion that an Indepen- dent like Joseph Laniel, actual Chief of Government, or M. Jac- quinot might win, as only a very few men are capable of getting a majority in both houses. Antoine Pinay, the former and very popular premier has stated repeatedly that he would not be in the running. Vincent Auriol says he is toe tired to seek a second consecutive mandate. There is yet another angle to look at the presidential election. It is the fierce battle of women. The wives of these men have one am- bition and that is to be call=d "Madame La Presidente" and to be installed in the magnificent and historical 'Elysee Palace, once the home of "La Pompadour." To the forefront of these ambi- tious ladies is the mewlywed Ma- dame Jacquinot, rich widow of Monsieur Petsche who gt the time of his death was Finance Minister, and Madame Germaine Rouer fam- ous Comedie Francaise actress, and wife of M. Yvon Delbos. There is also Madame Laniel who prides herself on having been a great help td her husband's career, and Madame Fourcade whose husband, former president of the French Un- ion Assembly stands a fairly good chance. In the meantime the Fourcades are giving sumptuous receptions in their luxury flat on the Avenue Foch. In this perspective M. Pinay would not have such a good chance MAC'S MUSINGS Eve who, passes aw Is a by Yo one, ud No matter how humble he station in life or position occupied In the community, but Risaionally some one dies Whose leaves more Than the usual gap, and Circls a 4 : id e e wi Had oason iy appreciate LEER ones under her care, And the blessin, rought to Spaings she 2 Heir contaet ih hes.
