THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Friday, May 16, 1958 Plenty Of Work For New Minister Of Immigration The new Minister of Immigration and Citizenship, the Hon, Ellen Fairclough, has a big job on her hands, Immigration has been one of the less capably admin- istered departments, and the Act under which it operates badly needs revision, Mrs. Fairclough's first and most im- portant duty will be to correct depart- mental procedures and interpretations of departmental regulations that have inspired the harshest sort of criticism from the courts, members of the Cana- dian Bar Association, newspapers and individuals, Justice Minister Fulton took a couple of steps in the right direction during the {.w months he was Acting Immigration Minister. A new appeal board was es- tablished to hear appeals from people denied entry to Canada, and a policy of informing applicants about the reasons for rejections was instituted. But much remains to be done to free Immigration of its passion for secrecy and its liking for ruthlessness, Further steps must be taken to ensure that respectable people living in Canae da are not kicked out of the country be- cause of some technical violation; that officials of some foreign country cannot use Canada as a convenient way of cir- cumventing their own court procedures ---as was the case when U.S, immigra- tion authorities "hid" a man in a Vane couver jail while they prepared to de- port him from the U.S. to Finland, Needed, too, is a clear honest state n.ent of immigration policy. Immigra- tion should not be turned on and off like a tap; economic conditions in this country will control the flow, while government panic-action will only serve to keep it dammed at times when a full flow may be necessary. And whatever short-term prospects may be, a good flow of immigrants is a long-term nec- essity for Canada. Making Ike's Job Tougher President Eisenhower will be visiting Ottawa in. July. the United States are calling it a "little Some phrasemakers in summit" meeting, More prosaic Cana- dians and thoughtful Americans see it as a personal effort by the President to repair some of the cracks which have been showing up rather obv 1 cently in the foundations of American friendship The President is a charming and well- intentioned man, His visit will undoubt- edly be a great At the same time, he is not the sort of President who can ram his ideas down the throat of the U.S. Congress--and it is in Congress that most of the injuries to North Am- erican goodwill and understanding are manufactured, success. Just a couple of days ago, for exam- ple, the Senate internal security committee returned to its pastime of tossing mud at Canadians In Canadian sub= government service, This was the group that accused Canadian diplomat Herbert Norman of being a Communist, and kept at it until Mr, Norman took his own life, Now the good Senators are accusing his ghost of being a subversive to include the clerk of the Privy Coun- cil, Robert Bryce. A strong Canadian protest has gone to Washington over this new mudslinging attempt by the subcommittee, The pro- test will cause genuine concern among the members of the Eisenhower admini= stration, But it will not stop the Sena- tors, They love their witch-hunting and the headlines it brings, They can pose before their constituents as true guard- fans of American civilization, It does not matter to them that it's none of their business who may be employed by the Government of Canada, or that their dirty little prying into Canadian lives offends their closest ally, The Justification Of Faith By REV. J. M, WARD The Christian gospel has a good case, In making this claim the Church may be accused of self-righteousness, snob- bery or the holier-than-~thou attitude; nevertheless it has both the right and the responsibility to point to what Christ has done in human lives. People are made new creatures in Christ Jesus and there is a resulting character and conduct revealed by those who hold the faith in sincerity, wisdom and earnestness. Alcoholism, de- lnquency, divorce and vice are not problems created by those whé accept the risen Christ as Lord and Master, The family that stay together, Therefore, because faith is justified of her children there is no need of the Christian over-stating his case, There should be no boasting and no unjustified claims made for evangelists or evangel- istic crusades, Things may have to be exaggerated or made "king size" to impress people in other realms, but in the realm of the spirit the steady and the sincere are honored. Spectacular advertising and bally-hoo will not suffice when prayer and fasting are needed. "By their fruits shall ye know them." Yes, time, the sternest of tests will tell the true way and work of God, prays together does I'uture Of The Gold Industry Faced with a decline in the gold min- ing industry, communities in Northern Ontario's gold belt recently hired a firm of experts to survey their future. The report made by W. F. Lougheed of To- ronto this week is far from encourage ing. The study showed that the commu- nities dependent .on gold mining alone face "a bleak, uncertain future." It found the ills rest 'on the fixing of the price of gold at $35 an ounce, The price is fixed by the United States gov- ernment -- the largest gold buyer in the world, The Lougheed firm recommended al- ternatives: Either a Canadian floor price of $35 an ounce, but with firms given the right to market gold for higher prices, in which 'case they wouldn't get the subsidy; or that Canada raise the price of gold to $40 or $45 an ounce in- dependent of the U.S, price. As a solution to the problems of the gold mining communities, it also recom= mended diversification of the communi- ties so they would become less com- pletely dependent on a single industry, It agreed, however, that this is a long- term solution and is unlikely to have much effect for several years. One frequently - mentioned solution, which the company neglected to men= tion, and one which deserves serious The Daily Times-Gazette T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manoaer. C.

The jewelry in- dustry is still using substantial quanti=- ties, but the currency aspect has been largely ignored.

It provides most of the jobs, It has always dons most to raise wages, It has given us all our factories and shops. It has built our communication and transportation sys- tems.

QUEEN'S PARK More Cabinet Changes Seen TORONTO--8till further cabi- net changes now are due. The changes were on the sched- ule in any event. But they have been speeded up by the resigna- tion of Public Works Minister Griesinger. With a senior, and very busy, portfolio left vacant Premier Frost is called on to make his further appointments earlier than he would otherwise have had to. A few weeks ago when he made the last reorganization the pre- mier confirmed that there would be still other changes. But the main purpose of these would be to give geographic rep- resentation to large areas--par- ticularly central Western Ontario and the 'Upper Ottawa Valley-- which didn't have a spokesman in 'the cabinet. And so long as this was taken care of before the next election it would be in time. CONNELL CITED FOR POST The works portfolio will have to be filled, however. And as it leaves a still further gap in West- ern Ontario at least one new ap- pointee and possibly more will likely be brought in from this section of the province. One possibility is that Hon, Ray Connell will be moved up to the public works job and a new man put into reform institutions. In the recent shifts there were some people who expected Mr. Connell would be put into high- ways. Very personable, sincere and a good politician it was felt he would be able to handle this po- litically difficult department. With public works also full of political difficulties he could probably serve the government well in it. MURDOCH MENTIONED Most likely new man to be brought in still would appear to be W. A. Stewart of Middlesex North, He made a strong impression on all sides in his first session and heads the list of all rolls of probables. There also is a chance now that William Murdoch of Essex South might get the nod. Party whip since 1945 and a steady and hard worker he has been overlooked but has some- thing coming to him. The fact that Col. Griesinger came from next door in Windsor- Walkerville, and also that another neighbor, Rev. M. C. Davies, was Speaker for a while, militated against him. This would have been too much representation from. the Windsor area. But the opening now is there, and he may be given the call. It is accepted that he would make a good minister.

Congregation of South Oshawa Methodist Church made surpris- ing progress, as the building and large lot only three and one-half years old became free from debt.

OPINION Labor And Air Power Spark Big Squabbles By "ONLOOKER" THOMSON NEWSPAPERS London, England, Bureau My feet hurt, Don't bother to extend sym- pathy. Aching feet is a fairly common complaint here right 'mow, during the first London bus strike since 19387. So far, the strike, 1958 edition, has been going strong for over a week, There have been rows in Parliament, behind the scenes, and among the strikers (though the last have-been more amicable than usual), And, when the strike was only a few days old, the railway strike -- covering not only London but all over the country -- started to brew anew, During the bus strike, London's eommuters have been making do. "It may never happepn" was an attitude which, I remarked last But rallwaymen want some- thing more. And it does seem as if the offer is a little cock-eyed. It is lke saying to a railway en. gineer in Toronto: 'No -- we won't give you any more pay. But we'll put up a new station for vour pals in Vancouver." ANOTHER ROW Another row is brewing over here -- mostly a behind - scenes one, On one side: Defence Minister Sandys, son-in-law (but only incl. dentally) of war-time leader Churchill, who is determined to push through a streamlining plan for the three services and make British forces more and more de- pendent on missiles for def He declares that, for Instance, Britain's Royal Air Force will not need any fighter beyond the PI supersonic type which should be week, Lond s pted the bus strike loomed. And when it did happen Lond ] d to accept it calmly, The war-time air raids gave them plenty of ex- perience in travelling when trans. port systems were disorganized and when they were having sleep- less nights: SHOW-DOWN In Parliament, Opposition speakers have been declaring that the Conservative government in power wants to have a show down with the Trade Unions and cry a halt to the demands for more pay. That is why Labor Minister Iain Macleod sat mute for a whole week throughout the strike, promising to "Intervene when the right moment came", But he has acted in the case of a rauway stoppage. He has in- vited Labor and Trade Union chiefs to meet him to avert a stoppage. But at the moment it seems as if the Government will have to produce a better come- back to the railwaymen if they are to get sympathy, True, the solution they offer is sound, but it is too long-term to satisfy potential strikers at the moment. What the Government is offering in fact, is the granting of more money to Britain's na- tionalized railways so that they can modernize their equipment and stations and attract more suatanans. reaching squadrons in a year or so, and that the mighty "V" bombers Britain is building are obsolete, since missiles will be so advanced that she won't need bombers any more. On the other sids of the argu. ment: most of the high ranking officers in the air force.

CLEFT STICK Duncan Sandys has the power to demand the sacking of some of the rebels against his policy. But he is in a cleft stick. He must be casting his mind back just 20 years. 'ien, a very young Member of Parliament who was also a Ter- ritorial (Reserve) officer got up in the House of Commons and asserted that he had in his pos- session information showing how bad Britain's anti-aircraft de- fences were -- and that he had been summoned to appear béfore a military court because he had that information. But his fellow Parliamentarians were eulck ta save him. saving that Parliament is a 'place of privilege'. The young Member of Parlia- ment was Duncan Sandys . . . BRAVE MAN A respectful salute to one Dog- tor Svenson. He was one of the guests of honor at the birthday dinner of the British Association of Women Executives, and was asked along because the women wanted to 'pay homage to the understanding and encourage- ment of husbands who allow their wives to pursue an independent career', Doctor Svenson is the husband of British ballerina Beryl Grey. Among those at the dinner: a woman engineer who built Bailey bridges during the war, a woman director of a driving 'school, a woman director of an insecticides firm, and a woman gunsmith It certainly seemed to be an event that men should have miss- ed. But Doctor Svenson turned wo GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Tory Strength In Quebec Began After 1957 Voting By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION With two of the promised five cabinet ministers from Quebec already appointed, and a block of fifty members from the pro- vince in the Government ranks, the political change-over which proved to be one of the most talked about aspects of the elec- tion campaign, moves into actual history. When did the turn-about take place? Did the appointment of the Hon. Lester B. Pearson as Leader of the Opposition have any effect on the voting pat- terns? Was the Tory victery a matter of iast minute change- over, or was the trend set last year after the Liberals won a two-to-one victory cver the Con- ser atives in terms of Quebec popular vote? Looking at the record of vot- ing intentions as measured by the Gallup Poll between the two Federal elections shows an illu- minating patter of steady rise in favor for the Government forces. How much Mr. St, Lau- rent's absence as leader of the Liberal party had anything to do with the voting inclination of the people can be argued, but the facts show a strong upturn for the Tories between January and the end of March. The January report, shown below, was based on interviewing just prior to the National Liberal Convention. Largest jump in favor for the Government forces, as recorded by the Poll, took place immedi- ately after the 1957 election when their stock rose almost 10 per cent between the June vote, and the August Poll 2 The Gallup Poll's final figures, on the Quebec vote, with the un- decided voters eliminated, as is customary, showed the fo comparison with the act Quebec vote. These figures were based on interviews taken a week before the election, reveal. ing a fairly well-stabilized voting intention among the people pf that time. wl CIPO Report With Undecided Eliminated Actual Vote Conservatives Liberals Others 49.5% 45.6 '49 . 51% In a series of studies on voting intentions in Quebec Province, between the last two Federal elections, the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion recorded this changing pattern of public opinion.. Election Figures June 1957 ... August, 1957 January, 1958 ...... March 15th, 1958 March 29th, 1958 Election Results March With the thought that there might be hesitation on the part of many Quebec voters to report voting preferences, a secret bal- lot technique was used at the beginning of the year. This is an established procedure with af- filiated Institutes. In one-half of the interviews, respondents were asked the standard questions used to measure voting pat- terns. With the other half, in- stead of asking for a verbal ans- wer, the respondent was given a ballot to mark and insert in a box, carried by the interviewer. Lib. Others . 62.3% 6.2% 54 6 51 7 45 1] 47 2 45.6 49 Results were almost the same, except that there was a drop of about 5 per cent on the Secret Ballot, among those who said they were undecided. hl This undegided group was high in Quebec rising to more than one in for voters, or 26 per cept just before the National Liberal. Convention in January. In the lagt few days of the campaign it dropped to 13 per cent, stiil a; high figure in the Poll's experi- ence, on public attitudes imme- diately before an election. World Copyright Reserved -- P.C. 31.5% INTERPRETING THE NEWS Austere General Still Waits For Legal Call By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer People are saying, as they have for years, that Gen. Charles de Gaulle waits in the wings only for a call to take triumphant possession of France's political stage once more. They're probably right, but the austere general now has shown he will not answer just any call, even if it is powerful. It must be a legal, constitutional cue, not the demands of soldiers and the mob, Barring complete chaos, de Gaulle isn't likely to make a move unless he is called upon by President Rene Coty or the Na- tional Assembly. SUMMONS UNLIKELY Yet it must have been a temp- tation to respond--even for the uncompromising war leader -- when the French-language equiv- alent of '""'we want de Gaulle" rang out not only in strife-torn Algiers but in Paris self, He hesitated for a few days, watching events and possibly hoping for a more formal call, then was content to announce: ", . . I hold myself ready." In view of de Gaulle's many political enemies, the summeots is unlikely to come unless condi- tions worsen under the new re- gime of Premier Pierre Pflim- lin, France's 25th since the Sec- ond World War. PRESIDENTIAL PLAN De Gaulle"s respect for con- stitutional means is coupled with a conviction that there must also be constitutional reform to pro- vide more power for the execu- tive and a more stable form of government. Critics fear he would be oppresively authoritar- jan--the word "Bonapartism" Is sometimes used. Under the present system, a French assembly is elected for five years and is extremely dif- ficult to dissolve during that pe- riod, But the assembly, in turn, can kill governments almost at, will, De Gaulle has not recently spelled out his reform concept, but it is believed he toys with the idea of introducing a pres- dential form of government along the lines of the United States. L'HOMME DU DESTIN In the present mood of nas tional heat, continued impoteney in Paris and turmoil in Algeria might well turn the country' again to the man who was the' wartime "soul of France." He has certainly been far-seeing ia, the past. A An obscure colonel when war began, he emerged as one of the few French officers grasping the: technique: of mechanized war- fare. Then, in the hour of France's humiliating military des feat, his was the lonely voice that cried out: 'France has lost a battle, but France has not lost the war."
