Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E.,, Oshawa, Ont. lage 4 Thursday, May 28, 1959 Reassurance Required On Missile Program The U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force have been squabbling again over mis- giles, Tt is the old story of bitter inter= service rivalry--but it now has some- hing more than amusing interest for Canadians. The Army, plugging for its . Nike-Hercules rocket, has had some . pretty harsh things to say about the . Air Force's Bomarc. the anti-aircraft missile which has been more or less adopted for Canada's defence Canadians need further reassurance from Ottawa on the subject of the Bo- mare, particularly in the light of the U.S. charges that it is obsolescent, and that production of an improved model is well behind schedule The Canadian government's decision to move from manned aircraft to mis= siles was sound, since Canada cannot afford to have both, But there are stil strong doubts about both the type of missile best suited to Canada's needs and its availability to Canadian plants and armed forces. Roya: Canadian Air Force officers apparently have a good opinion of the Bomare but believe it should be an ad- junct to interceptor aircraft With in=- terceptors, the Bomare's limitations and any lag in production: would not leave so serious a gap in Canada's defences. The RCAF. too, has an axe to grind Under the circumstances, Canadians should be given a careful assessment by Defence Minister Pearkes of the re- lative merits of the Nike-Hercules ai Bomare missiles and their availability. 'Better Traffic Signs Highway officials of Canada's prov- indes should waste no time before giv- ing more than verbal support to the for uniform traffic-control proposal A committee set up Association and the signs and de rices by the Good Roads Institute of Traffic Engineers has reach- ed agreement on the proposal, and with provincial support this could mean that motorists could drive anywhere in Can~ ada and be guided by the same traffic signs Wherever po words are repl able symbols.

We have many drivers on the roads these days who are not familiar enough with English to read it quickly; and we have many more drivers who race along the highways at speeds too high to permit quick and easy reading of lettered signs, And across the country the con- glomeration of signs is another compli- cating factor in the 'drive for traffic safety jave put three vears recommendations for Their work has been and now awaits only about the Tratfie raffi cial actior changes, After The Revolution Many Cubans seem to be havi ond thoughts about the benefit volution, according to reports \ out of the island. While they are happy about the downfall of the corrupt Ba- fista regime, they are finding life even more difficult under Castro. Castro's men are just as corrupt as their predecessors, it seems, and less able to keep Cuba's shaky economy from falling apart. Castro may not be a Com- munist, but his economic ideas -- as much of them as can be understood from his rumbling speeches--have a strong Marxist flavor. The results of the revolution so far rapidly increasing unem- ployment and promises of better times fo come. Tourists have not been con- winced that Havana is once more a city of galety Consequently there are and pleasure plenty of vacancies in the city's palatial hotels, and all the people lived off the tourists are having a difficult time indeed. Tourist income has been important to Cuba. Its sharp decrease has helped to undermine con- fidence in the currency, while the Cas- tro policy of property confiscation has paralyzed much business activity, If Castro moves with skill and deter- mination, he can stop the rapid econ- omic erosion. But he and his followers seem still to be absorbed with their continuing experiment in power politics. There has been a marked increase in Caribbean and Central American in- trigue since Castro's victory. It is more than coincidence, particularly since Castro is surrounded by Communist in- triguers, men who thrive on unrest. 'Better Deal For Juries The president of the Canadian Bar Association thinks that jurymen should be given a better deal. Walter F. Owen of Vancouver, who spoke to members of the legal profession in Quebec, was critical of fees paid for jury service, and remarked that facilities in court houses generally were inadequate This is an inter. sting point -that Mr. Owen raises. The fact is only too well known that most people strive for an excuse to be exempt, if they are sum- toned for jury duty. Nor can they be blamed. Today's scale of salaries and wages is well above the scale of pay for jurymen. In many instances it is well in excess of double the jurors pay, For a man who works on commission or an hourly rate, service as a juryman tan work a sizeable hardship. partic arly if the case should drag out for sev- eral days. Mr. Owen was rticularly to civil cases. But the same argument holds for criminal cases. There should be one basic principle recognized by government, nanely, that no man should be out of pocket for performing this civic duty. That probably was the idea when the fees were set for jury The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager €.

PIPERS OF OLD IRELAND (Ireland) From the seventeeth century on- wards trumpets and drums began to su- persede the bagpipe as an instrument for martial music in Ireland but it con- tinued to be used. mainly as an accom- paniment for dancing. (The modern bagpipe is now used in the pipe bands of the Irish Army). The English poet, Ben was well acquainted with Irish customs, introduces boys and men dancing to the bagpipe in his "Irish Masque," produc- ed at the English Court in 1613.

OTTAWA REPORT i ft Queen To Open NATO Congress By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The first Atlantic congress will be formally opened by Queen Elizabeth in London, Eng., on June 5. It will consist of 650 citizens representing the 15 allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization I'he declared purpose of the congress is "to bring together the ablest and most distinguished citizens representative of the principal aspects of national life in the NATO countries, to con- sider ways and means of further developing cooperation, particu- larly in economic and political affairs between the North Amer- ican and European member coun- tries of NATO." Without any doubt. the most scrious problem which will face the Atlantic congress is the eco- nomic breach which is fast widening between the NATO part- ners on the two sides of the At- lantic With great farsightedness, our Liberal government 10 years ago insisted that the North Atlantic treaty should pledge its support ers to create an economic part. nership as well as a military al- liance. Wheh the treaty came into effect Hon. Lester Pearson. then our foreign minister, publicly de- clared his belief that this pro- vision--widely known as "The Canadian Clause' --would lead to the creation of an economic com- monwealth, and perhaps ulti- mately a political commonwealth of the nations around the North Atlantic basin, Nothing less. he bravely but wisely asserted would do ALL FOR WAR Largely through American op- position and Canadian inertia this economic clause of the treaty has heen ignored. Our European Allies grew tired of NATO's fail ure to take that urgently-needed step towards economic partner ship. and them have gone ahead without North American participation. to form a huge customs union of 162.000.- 000 souls.

What steps can we take to en- able the NATO Allies to wage successfully the cold, or eco- romic, war against the Commun- ist bloc. and to enable us to main- tain indefinitely the heavy cost of deterrent against nuclear aggres- sion? Above all, what can we in Canada do to enable our iso- 1 ceotomy to support our present standard of living, let a.one one ich will rise steqad- ily? These are the grave probe lems confronting delegates at the Atlantic congress This of course is not a new oi unforeseen crisis. CANADIANS IGNORED Mr. Pearson foresaw this need 10 years ago. when he made that famous statement Five years ago. a group of Canadians, al- ready worried by lack of action towards an economic partnership within NATO, played a promin- ent part in drafting The Declara- tion of Atlantic Unity urging im- mediate implementation of The Canadian Clause: and they played the leading role in organ- izing an international deputation to present the declaration to the council of NATO. Approximately 50 Canadians have declaration, including ister Diefenbaker, Liberal Leader Pearson, CCF Leader Coldwell all our prominent labor leaders as well as university presidents religious leaders, bankers, news paper publishers and writers, and industrialists. Against that background. it comes as more than a shock to learn that Canada's 45 delegates to the Atlantic congress consist predominantly of backbench pol- iticians and of equally undistin guished private citizens: very few elected for their leadership or for their knowledge of. and inter. est in.
