he Oshovon Times Published by Canadien Newspapers Limited, B6 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Foge 6 Wednesday, Movember 23, 1960 Different Viewpoints Given By Columnists Many newspaper readers seem to have the mistaken impression thet writers of signed columns spesk for the news- papers which carry their columns, Ouse sgein let us set the record straight; columnists spesk for themselves, and not for the newspaper, Wheat the colum- nist writes may or may not be in accord with the policy of the newspaper, Why then, the reader may ask, does the newspaper §iblish the work of a columnist with whom it mey disagree? Principally because the writer generally has something pertinent to say snd can say it well, and also to give readers another, strictly personal point of view with which, of course, the reader can agree or disegres, On more than one occasion this news. paper has differed sharply with some of its columnists, Patrick Nicholson, writ. ing from Ottawa, often expresses opinions with which we cannot agree, We cannot share with him, for example, his adulas- tion of Mr, Diefenbaker nor his extreme * suspicion of US, policies or actions in relation to Canada, But there are many . more of his opinions with which we can sgree -- and whether we approve of his views or not, we respect his forthe right style of expression and belleve provides interesting reading He is often eritical, but he is never malicious, And his knowledge of the going-on in Ottaws is profound, Another case illustrates the point, We cannot endorse the recent eriticism of the Oshawa school board by one of our local columnists, We cannot agree with his critical remarks sbout members of the board or about the bosrd's plans for & new collegiate institute, since we be- lieve the criticism to be based more on emotion than fact. But here again is a forthright writer presenting a different point of view with considerable skill and 8 lively style, The point is this: a newspaper that cannot tolerate a different point of view is doing a poor services for its read. ers, The Vancouver Bun has for years provided an outstanding example of dis- agreement between newspaper and columnist, Jack Scott, a brilliant reporter turned columnist, is at almost constant variance with the editorial views of the Sun, The result is more stimulating thought-provoking reading for the sub scribers of the Sun, Soviet Short-Change Last January Khrushchev announced that the Soviet ruble would be revalued, and & new ruble would take the place of the old, to be exchanged at the rate of one new for four old, Now there has been another revaluation announcement, and effective January 1 one new ruble will be changed for 10 old rubles, with the value of the new ruble in relaxation to U.S, currency set at $1.11, Uder the tourist rate now, the ruble is worth about ten cents, and under the new rate the present ruble will be worth about 11 cents ~~ a far cry from the officigl Soviet contention that the present vuble is worth 25 cents, "Does this sound confusing? Well, it is, Mr, Khrushchev is trying to get the point across that the new ruble will be . worth more than the United States . dollar; he is trying to impress the world with the stability of Boviet money, As a byproduct, he undoubtedly hopes to catch, in the exchange of old rubles for new, a lot of black market operators and profiteers who have been amassing private fortunes in his highly publicized workers' paradise, Actually it makes little difference what the Soviet Union says the ruble is worth, The real worth cannot be tested unless it is made convertible ints other world currencies on the international money market, in which case a price would quickly be set by trading One test of the real worth -- but not an absolute test --- is the black market, where rubles are exchanged at 20,35 or 50 to the dollar, The reason this is not & completely true test is that many Russians are willing to pay much more than the dollar is worth just to get dollars for hidden savings or illegal purchases abroad, There is another aspect, Whether the new ruble will be more useful in inter national trade is yet to be seen, but since the gold content is heavier, prices will undoubtedly tend to rise even though officially prices are to be rescaled on the one-for-10 basis, In short, the Soviet government once again is planning to short-change its laboring masses, High Cost Of Hate The cost in hate and bitterness is great in the New Orleans struggle over token school integration, But there is a money cost, too, and it is deply worrying New Orleans businessmen and officials, The Wall Street Journal, in a survey of New Orleans, has turned up these facts; The 3,600 schoolteachers and other school employees face payless paydays, The state legislature threatens to cut off school aids -- and in Louisiana the state provides about two-thirds of school money. Some teachers consider leaving, Normally at this time of the year the school board borrows from local banks against state money due the first of the year, The banks, waiting for a decision in the struggle between the school board and the legislature, refused to advance funds now, ' Retail sales downtown fell off 20 to 30% during the first week of token integration, Some stores report a 50% The Oshawa Times Tb WILSON, Publisher and & €.

To that end, the "Canadian Clause' was, at our express demand written into the North Atlantie Treaty; this aimed to establish at best, a free trade area em- bracing the Atlantic Commun ity; or at worst, a substantial reduction or elimination of se lected tariff barriers within that area, Our then foreign minister, Les. ter Pearson, went out on a limb to declare that this Canadian Clause would lead to an eco nomic or perhaps ultimately a politieal commonwealth of the western world OUR DREAMS FRUSTRATED In the intervening years, thinks fng has substantially caught up with Mike Pearson's gilt-edged vision--except among the ivory towers of Ottawa, whose Inhab.
