Tye Oshawa Times "Published by Canadien Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Wednesday, May 27, 1959 ' Foreign Ministers Try Secrecy In Diplomacy y The Big Four foreign ministers have flecided to give secret diplomacy a try, "miter operating under the full glare of "the publicity spotlights, It is an attempt ito return to the old principle of "open , iovenants, secretly arrived at." Canada's former minister of external affairs, Lester B, Pearson, was one of the most outspoken advocates of the isecret discussion--open decision princi ple in diplomacy. And there is no doubt that far more can be accomplished by diplomats when they are talking simply 'to each other and not for the double ef- fect of their words on a global audience. The western diplomats would prefer 'to do their arguing in private. The Rus- sians, however, have shown a liking for 'Shocking TV Affair Canadians have been properly shock- ed by the incident on a television pro- , gram broadcast by a Buffalo station, in 'which a negro boy from Toronto was ' .asked to stop dancing with a white girl, 'The request was made, apparently, be- cause of the number of protests from U.S. viewers of the program. The program's master of ceremonies airily dismissed the incident as "mak- ing a mountain out of a molehill" and "a slight misunderstanding." It is not a slight misunderstanding when a Cana- dian boy is publicly humiliated because of the color of his skin, It may be a molehill in Buffalo, but it is a moun~ tain in Canada. At the same time, Ontario's liquor commissioner W. H. Collings was out of line in demanding a government in- quiry into the case If there was any constructive purpose to be served by such an inquiry, we should agree with him. But the Ontario government has big audiences, They are apparently less interested in reaching any substantial agreement than they are in using con- ferences as instruments of far-reaching propaganda, Thus Mr. Gromyko, while he may be talking at his western. col- leagues, more often than not is talking to people in West Germany, or Iraq or a dozen other scattered places. Diplomacy in that atmosphere of pro- paganda is, of couse, impossible. The Russian approach forces western spokes- men to attempt the same tactics, and they are more inclined to speak for do- mestic listeners than for the more limit ed audience at Geneva or wherever the conference is being held no power to discipline the offenders, and an inquiry could only add to the em- barrassment already suffered by the vietim of the offence, It is doubtful, too, whether Mr. Col- lings was on firm ground when he sug gested he may take the case to Canad- ian distilleries and breweries that ad- vertise over the Buffalo station, He would certainly be justified in doing so as a private citizen, but not as an of. ficial of a government agency with con siderable power of control over what breweries and distilleries do in Ontar« jo, If he is going to mix social morals with liquor administration, he will quickly find himself up to the neck in a pretty explosive brew, We fully agree with Mr. Collings that this was a "shocking affair." But there are more effective ways of reacting to such an affair than by shouting threats that cannot be carried through into ac tion Leader In Agriculture Ontario is Canada's industrial heart land, What is not generally known is that Ontario is also Canada's leading agricultural province-~despite the ame ount of publicity given the grain-grow- ing provinces of the West. Cash income of Ontario farmers is given by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics as 31.1 per cent of that of all farmers in Canada--almost as great as the combined cash income of farmers in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba and British Columbia, The Dominion Bure eau cannot tell, of course, how many farmers in the other provinces are not accurately reporting their incomes, but even so the Ontario figure is impres- sive, While there may be some argument about income, there is no arguing with figures on production and animal popu- lations, Ontario produces all the win- ter wheat grown in Canada and stands first in acreage planted to mixed grains, grain corn, fodder corn, dry beans, soybeans, rutabagas and tobacco; second in acreage of fall rye, hay, sugar beets and potatoes, Acreage of sugar beets in southwestern Ontario is being expand- ed and will amount to 40,000 acres in 1959 compared with 20,600 in 1957, On- tario potato acreage is second only to that of Quebec and should increase this year as a new potato flake plant, the first in Canada, will be built at Allis- ton, Milk cows in Ontario comprise 32.4 per cent of the total number in Canada, hogs 30 per cent, sheep and lambs 22.6 per cent and hens and chickens 41.2 per cent, The Bureau is able to compile these figures from the basic information ob- tained in an annual June 1 survey. Schedules for this year's survey have now largely been distributed, and the co-operation of the farmers is being sought by the Ontario department of agriculture, which computes the figures for this province. The department gives assurance that individual returns are never divulged and are used only to prepare county and provincial totals, British Salesmanship Failure on the part of British indus- tries to capture a larger share of Cana- da's import market is laid squarely on their own shoulders by Sir John Wedge wood, retiring president of Britain's United Commercial Travellers Associa- fion, according to a despatch from Me- Intyre Hood, the Times' correspondent in London, Mr. Hood reports: Speaking at the annual meeting of the association, Sir John, who has just completed a tour of Canada, said there was an immense field for the employ- ment of British commercial travellers in Canada. He questioned whether re- presentatives of British industrial firms visited Canada often enough--and when they did, it was usually directors who made the trip, and not salesmen, de- signers and technicians, Sir John absolved Canada from the The Oshawa Times T.

The extent of the lack of suc- cess of British exporters in general the Canadian market was impressis he said. About one-fifth of U.S. expor.s were sold in Canada, compared with seven per cent of British exports. "When public recognition is given to this sad state of affairs," he said, "it is lamented that we do not get a fair share of Canada's trade. It is sometimes al- most implied that Canada is giving us a raw deal. Nothing could be further from the truth. Exactly contrary views are expressed by Canadian statesmen. Furthermore, many British products enjoy preferential import duties from Canada." Sir John admitted that the United States had a big advantage in being able to supply goods more quickly and to offer immediate after-sales service. British exporters must meet this com- petition by maintaining stocks and de- pots in Canada, he thought. Other Editor's Views HORSE VS.

Health Minister J. W, Monteith told Parliament, after his officials had looked into the strontium-90 situation, that "our findings indi- cate no basis for alarm." These were comforting words, but they did not tell the whole story. In contrast, Dr. Linus Pauling has warned Americans that "the only safe amount of strontium-H0 in the bones of our children is zero." Britain's Prime Minister, Har- old Macmillan, has announced that radioactivity in that country has doubled since last summer, There are no grounds for doubt- ing that a similar increase has been suffered in comparable ar- eas of Canada. A recent survey in 50 North American cities showed that Que- bec City's milk contains the third highest concentration of strontium-90, exceeded only by Pittsburgh and by Bismarck North Dakota. Quebec's figure was seven times that detected in Los Angeles, and double that in Bf alo. FOR FIREWORKS AND DEATH Fear Of Higher Costs Afflicts More People By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Fear of higher costs for the things they buy is rising very definitely in Canadian minds. In the space of just four years, the proportion of men and women who expect such prices to head upwards, has almost doubled In the Fall of 1954. the Gallup Poll reported that 22 in every hundred adults believed prices would be higher in the next six month. Today that number has risen to 38 in every hundred. For every person who thinks prices will go down, about four think they will increase. Less than a majority today have a hunch that the cost of what they buy will remain pretty much the same. What this gener. al attitude will have to do with The public's hunches over the last decade about the future trend of prices have proved remarkably accurate Prices will Go up Go Down Stay about the same ...

Despite the steady upward rise shown in the three time periods above, the Canadian Gallup Poll found a very heavy rise at the end of 1956, when a majority (34 per cent) believed the prices would rise. US. fears were at Ont. West 4% 2% 10 Today 38% 10 44 4 the problems of labor-mennce. ment relations in the next few months will show as lime goes by The people of Ontario are most apprehensive of higher prices, with the Western provinces at a 9 per cent lower point, and the East in between The columns below tell the story, showing the weight of public opinion on each side of the argvrment, as published by the Poll in 1054 last year, and agen. today. The question usd is one which is part of the Gal- lup Poll's work in many coun- tries "NO YOU THINK PRICES IN GENERAL WILL GO UP, OR DOWN, OR STAY ABOUT THE SAME DURING THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?" their peak a couple of years later when no less than 66 per cent said "Prices will go high- er. It is to see the parallel points of view from the masses, in both countries. As in Canada, for example, US. expectation that goods will cost more has almost doubled in about four years. This belief runs across the country in a fairly solid pattern with a spread of less than one in ten, between attitudes in Ontario and the Prairies. Quebec Is most hopeful of the provinces that prices will drop, Kenora Believed Key Voting By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Oshawa Times TORONTO---One of the key con- tests in the election is in Kenora. Liberal Albert Wren is in a hard battle, The Conservatives are de- termined to knock off this long. time hornet in their happy nest. Speakers are making the long haul from here to Kenora and one imagines funds are being sent to the riding in ample quant. ities. Liberals cport that a CCF candidate could turn the scales against Mr. Wren. The expected candidate (at writing he has not been nominated) apparently is a new man who will not have a chance himself but could take away onough of the Liberal labor vole to sink the present Kenora member, REAUME ELECTION Another significant contest is in Essex North where the govern. ment dgain is trying for a knock- out, in this case against Arthur Reaume. Word from observers, however, is that their chances here are not nearly so good as in Kenora. In fact most people seem to think they will run third be- hind the Liberals and the CCF, One thing certain is that Mr. Reaume will not be a push-over. The former Windsor mayor is oue of the best organizers in the province. Any man who these days is able to get 1.200 people out at a riding nomination con vention, as he did, is not going to be easily defeated. The PC's put the bulk of their hopes on the fact that in the last election their candidate Sidney Arbour only lost to Mr. Reaume by 649 votes. Mr. Arbour is again the candidate and the CCF have the same man running--Fred Burr The Conservatives believe Mr Bum nigh out 0 Mi Resume's vote mx did in 1956. The observer would say it would probably be the oppos- ite. In the past four years Mr, Reaume has been a hard-work- ing member. Along with this the government fortunes in the Wind. we than he Spot SOT area are at a low level. Mr. Frost, we imagine, will have to stand the jibes of the Essex North Liberal for a few years. YORK CENTRE Here in Toronto probably the most interesting contest is in York Centre where three strong men are in the field. Tom Gra- ham, PC and the present mem. ber, is opposed by Vernon Singer for the Liberals and Fred Young for the CCF. All three have been senior officials of North York Township. Mr. Graham and Mr. Singer are former reeves and Mr. Young is the present deputy reeve. Tom Graham is one of the most likeable men in the House and will be hard to beat. Mr. Singer, on the other hand. is eas. ily one of the best candidates the Liberals have in the field. MONEY SERVICE YOU CAN TRUST @ Household ~ Queen's University.

From the firebell high in the sky, it drifts round the globe, falling onto our cities and countryside, pas- sing into the topsoil and thence into plant life. Thus it enters the food chain and comes into our bodies: in the western world we absorb it chiefly in milk, in Asia chiefly in rice. Like calcium, once in our hod jes it tends to deposit itself in our bones, concentrating to form hotspots in any place where bone is developing. It retains its radio- active power for about 40 years, thus its danger is greatest to our children. The strontium - 90 al- ready released by nuclear tests will continue to fall onto . the earth's surface for many vears to come, building up threat of lerkamia and bone cancer in our children. If tests continne. warns Dr. Pauling, about 100,000 chil It's getting to where scarcely anybody can be trusted. Accord- ing to news out of Mississippi, a preacher charged an ex-convict a fee to 'hoodoo' his dice so he could win with them, but the "hoodoo" didn't work, Thus must have exasperated the ex-convict somewhat, as he killed the preacher, dren of the coming generation will die from these causes. There are of course other ele- ments of danger in nuclear tests, There are also elements of in convenience and financial loss, of which the most obvious is the change in owr weather, This was predicted several years ago by an Ottawa scientist, and our re- cent experience has certainly given substance to hi¢ long-range forecast of levelling off the ex. tremes of our climate, Against this background, the long continuing disarmament ne- gotiations between East and West present an importance beyond the obvious, Stalesmen are seek- ing a system of controlling nu clear tests which would be proof against dighonesty. But this over looks the basic fact that any dis. armament agreement must be based on mutuai trust, Otherwise we might as well admit that we are in a state of warfare, even if the shooting has not yet com- menced. Such mutual trust Involves a minimum of military risk: but we have the safeguard that nu. clear tests, carried out in con- travention of an international agreement, would soon be de tected, The alternative to this mutual trust must be a steady buildup of the radioactivity on the sur face of our land. As Health Min ister Monteith says, there are no present causes for alarm in the existing level of radioactivitr, But continuing nuclear tests will cer- tainly carry us into the certainty of alarm, While scientists cannot yet agree as to what constitutes a tolerable level of radioactivity because they are here dealing with the hitherto unknown--con tinuing nuclear tests will con demn thousands of children all over the world to a death as sure as the immediate massacre of nuclear warfare. Against this "heads we lose, tails we cannot win" situation, the statesmen of the West are faced with a difficult but very urgent problem in which the voice of the people is increas- ingly making itself felt in many European countries, impatient with the stalemated talks of their leaders.
