OY re ep rn ce The Oshavon Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page . Thursday, October 1, 1959 Opinion Mounts Against 'We Fear Peace' Group The rebuttal of the craven "we can't afford peace" attitude continues to gain force. We have already given our opinion of the fears expressed in pub- 'lic by some shortsighted people, who see world peace more as a threat to economic well-being than as a bless- ing. Here is another opinion, that of the Vancouver Sun: Canada could build several Trans- Canada highways instead of struggling to finish only one. The financing of huge power dams-- on the Columbia and the Peace? -- to- gether with new schools and universi- ties, would be no problem. This could be the most concrete re- sult of the "general and complete" dis- armament proposed last week by Niki- ta Khrushchev, It would not only re- move the threat of war -- it would mean better living for millions. Khrushchev himself made a point of this. Evidently it's important to him. As one observer remarked at the United Nations this week, the Russian premier is dptermined that his country shell rank as the world's leading in- dustrial nation. He wants to raise his own countrymen's living standards. He knows it can't be done easily or quickly while he's pouring billions into armaments. Here may be the real test of his sincerity in making the proposal The United States now spends about $50,000,000,000 a year on defence. It can't balance its budget. Taxes are high, Inflation always threatens. Some people argue the West can't af- ford to disarm. Disarmament would lead it into an overnight economic de- pression, they say. This argument is knocked cold by the Magazine of Wall Street, one of Ameri- ca's most conservative business papers. The magazine in its September 12 is- sus published an article by Howard Nicholson. It's entitled "If Cold War Eases Can Our Economy Take It? Yes ... Yes... Yes" Obviously it was written before Khrushchev made his bold bid in the United Nations. Nicholson discusses the effects of partial disarmament only. Even so, several billions would be cut from the U.S. annual defence bill. Washington could eliminate its. surtax on corporate incomes and grant a 20 per cent cut in personal income taxes. The result would be to stimulate both industrial and in=- . dividual spending, Nicholson argues. If rightly directed, corporation spend ing would give suppliers of steel, cop~ per and aluminum a volume almost equal to that lost in defence buying. Possibly neither business nor consu= mers would put all the money gained from tax cuts into the goods market, But their savings would help them to renovate or enlarge the plants badly needed by industry. What would happen if, four years hence, the U.S. had no arms to spend money on, but $50,000,000,000 in fed- eral income to dispose of? Nicholson doesn't go into this. But he instances a number of ways by which the govern= ment could stimulate the economy. The national highway program is bogeed down from lack of federal funds. The country needs new schools, flood control, bridges, water power and navigation construction. Opportunities abound for this sort of spending. And of course there's housing. Nicholson says nothing about inter- national economic aid. Khrushchev, however, brought this to the fore in his UN speech. The Russian leader said the task of supplying the needs of underdevelop- ed countries would remove the fear of recession in industrial countries. It would smooth the transition from arma- ments to peace. Nicholson however brings up another argument for curtailed defence spend- ing. Government spending is inflation- ary, he points out. A re-direction of ex- cess spending into private investment would tend to check the inflationary spiral. All this is of first-rate interest to Canadians. They now spend nearly $2,- 000,000,000 a year on armaments, That's one dollar out of every two our government now takes in taxes. Think about it. Rice Lake Self-Help How a district tourist association can take constructive steps to protect and enlarge the resources on which it de- pends has been demonstrated at Rice Lake. The 25-mile long lake is one of the most productive areas of fresh water on the continent, maintaining substan= tial populations of pickerel, bass and panfish. But it also produces that ang- ling prize, the mighty maskinonge. It has been claimed that more muskies are brought to the net in Rice Lake than in any lake in North America. The local tourist association decided that something should be done to re- place the thousand-odd muskies each year from the lake. That was in 1953. Now the association has the only co- operatively owned musky-rearing pond in the world. Operating with the de- partment of lands and forests, the as- sociation arinually pours thousands of maskinonge fingerlings' into the lake. For over two years the association sought a proper site. Needed was an acre of land with heavy clay bottom to hold water, from 10 to 15 feet above lake level and close to a source of spot- tail shiners for feeding the young mas- kinonge. Once they reach about 12 days of age, the young fish must be fed live food, otherwise they begin to de- vour each other. The association raised $2500 and opened the pond 'in 1955. The following year it was enlarged and now measures 200 feet by 90 feet, with a 20-foot depth. Lands and forests departmental ex- perts maintain and control . the pond and each spring deposit about 60,000 musky fry which have been hatched at the department's Deer Lake establish- ment -- which, incidentally, is one of the world's few maskinonge hatcher- ies. A note for fishermen: the fry plant- ed in 1955 should be at or beyond the 28-inch limit now. Confusing Poll Results Public opinion polls on the outcome of the British gereral election are running riot, and are getting the public mind into a state of confusion, according to The Times' correspondent in London, McIntyre Hood. The national newspa- pers in the United Kingdom have their own polls and their findings are highly contradictory. Moreover, Mr. Hood points out, their usefulness is lessened by the large percentage placed in the "no opin- jon" column. One poll showed that since the elec- tion date was announced, the Conserva- The Osha Tones 1. L. WILSON, Puslisher and General Manaser C.

But in the same edition of the same newspaper another poll, conducted by the same organization, National Opin- ion Polls, gave the answers to the question "Which party do you think will win the general election?" And in this one, 52 per cent thought the Con- servative would win, and only 21 per cent predicted a Socialist victory. The uncertain factor is the large per- centage of "don't know" voters, and from this the Socialists are taking some encouragement. They figure that the Tories started the campaign at their peak, and that from now on the ma- jority of the undecided voters will swing to Labor candidates. Another newspaper published the re- sult of a' poll that asked for opinions about Mr. Macmillan as prime minis- ter should the Tories win, and about Mr. Gaitskell should the Socialists win. For the former, favorable replies came to 87 per cent, unfavorable 19 and neu- tral. 14. For Mr. Gaitskell, the favorable figure was 48 per cent, unfavorable 33 and neutral 19. One interesting note is that while 96 per cent of the Conservatives favored Maemillan as prime minister should the Conservatives win, 83 per cent of the Labor supporters were in favor of Gait- skell as the head of a Socialist govern- ment, 11 per cent were neutral and six per cent opposed. 3 Mr. Hood thinks that the opinion polls indicate that voting will be heav- jer than in the 1955 general election, when 75 per cent of the electors cast their ballots. h ¢ vice-chairman - Tn AN EARLIER CANADA OUR LESS- FORTUNATE NEIGHBORS CauLd BE HELPED IN PERSON ---- QUEENS PARK Competition Returns ' In Hotel Business By DON O'HEARN TORONTO---The hotel business is going to pot?

One is U.S. TV Broadcasting Studied By Canada By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- To learn what our neighbors see on television, and how the networks aim to please them, the nucleus of whole-time members of our new Board of Broadcast Governors have just spent a week in New York City and Washington. Chairman Dr. Andrew Stewart, Mr. Roger Du- hamel, and permanent board member Mr. Carlyle Allison talked with television executives and government officials, and watched T V programs, during their visit, Dr. Stewart says that they came away "very much impressed with the U.S. system, with the calibre of people in chief executive posi- tions, and with the U.S. concept PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Both sexes are interesting," says a novelist. Yes, of course. But the opposite sex is consider- ably more so. Beware, young fellow, of eat- ing out of her hand, lest she wind you around her little finger and put you under her thumb. The man who looks and does not see Might just as well a blind man be. A biologist says, "There is little difference between a man and a monkey," and then after paus- ing briefly, the unchivalrous fel- low adds, "Women is in every respect the equal of man." People are the funniest things in the world -- especially other people. Does intense curiosity as to what may happen next in this im- plausible world constitute suffici- ent reason for continuing to hang on to it? "A man who has the habit of talking back to television charac- ters isn't necessarily insane," says a psychiatrist. No, but it's a dangerous habit. He might for- get and talk back to his wife. Why, of course you are smart- er than those electronic calcu- lating machines -- but some of them earn as much as $500 an hour. "Girl Marries Man Who Side- swiped Her Car." -- Headline.

The visitors were especially impressed by the ex- cellent examples of public service broadcasts which they had seen, such as the coverage of the visit of Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchov. DIFFERENT APPROACH Referring to the "thoroughly realistic concept of programe. ing," geared to the listening pub- lic, which had impressed them so much, Mr, Allison pointed out to me the great difference between broadcasting in that country and in Canada. "The U.S. audience does not necessarily want to be educated or uplifted," he said, "In Canada it is different, because our TV programs are either wholly or partly financed by the taxpayer, and here there is.the objective to provide Canadianism in our pro- grams." When private TV stations begin to broadcast next year and 1961 in our big cities, they will offer a choice of program to the - viewers. They will not have CBC- produced programs available to them, as now do private TV sta- tions in our smaller cities, Mr, Allison. foresees the creation by private enterprise of a second network, to feed Canadian .pro- grams to these new stations. The present intention of the BBG is that the new independent stations in our big cities, just like the existing private stations in our small cities. and the CBC sta- tions, will have to broadcast Canadian-made programs for at least 55 per cent of their air time. There has been a lot of loose talk about what will constitute "Canadian content" and make a program "Canadian." Do for- eign actors performing in a Cana- dian studio constitute a Canadian program? Do Canadian actors mouthing words written by a for- eign playwright constitute a Cana- dian program? Do a bunch of for- eign professional gladiators bat- tling in a Canadian stadium con- stitute a Canadian program? The answer to this, Mr. Allison told me, must largely be a question of common sense, although the BBG has suggested certain guid- ing principles. Of course, said Mr. Allison, nobody would suggest that a broadcast of the Stratford (Ontario) Festival is not a Cana- dian program, even though the script - writer (William Shakes- peare) and the leading actor (such as Alec Guinness) are not Canadians. FRILLS TO COME Mr. Allison touched further on future developments which might { $600 and up; here it would prob- | ably cost $800 and up). And this | might be within two years. A second development is trans- atlantic broadcasting. Canada can now enjoy the 'slow scan" by cable, such as gave us pictures of Queen Elizabeth leaving Eng- land to visit us this summer. A likely development, Mr. Allison believes, would be direct trans- mission by a series of hops round Iceland, Greenland and Labrador, 36 YEARS AGO . J. H.
