The Oshawa Times Published by Conadian Mewspopers Limited, 86 King ©. E., Oshawa, Ont Rose 4 VW adnesdny, February 1, 761 Statement Of Obvious: Salazar's A Dictator Its difficult to see whet Henrique Galvan, leader of the bend which seized the Portuguese cruise ship Bente Maris, hopes to accomplish in 8 practical way, ¥f it was to signal the start of 8 revolu- tion against the Portuguese government of Premier Balazar, it was one of the oddest plots in history, If it was simply meant, as Gelvao has stated, to draw the world's attention to the lack of free dom in Portugal, it wes & stetement of the obvious, It is scarcely the freshest of news thet Bslazer is a dictator and runs a police state, Salazar was called in by the Portu- guese army sfter a series of military revolts in the 1920s against govern ments which had run poverty-stricken Portugal into deep debt, An economics professor, he became finance minister in 1928, and within a year had straight ened out the country's finances and consolidated his own power, Portugal has been on a pay as you go basis ever since, Its currency is stable, It has & gold and currency reserve of some $700 million, There has been no "inflation, Prices and wages sre stable, To the "hundred families" who make Necessity Of A six-year scientific study of the sika deer of James Island, off the Maryland coast, has led to the conclusion that the mass mortality in the winter of 1088 was not, as previously supposed, a striking example of the Malthusian law at work If a rapidly multiplying herd of deer had outrun its food supply, the results though tragic ~~ would have been readily understandable in human terms end applicable to far-away world situ ations. But this was something quite different, Examinations of dead and dying deer in the field, slong with laboratory autopsies, indicate that the animals e well fed, were not diseased and were not poisoned, 'The deaths (60 per cent of the herd) are now attributed to the stress and strain on important glandular funetions brought en by overcrowding. When the deer population reached a certain den. sity, the crowded in feeling produced an overstimulation that led first to serious damage to the adrenal gland and then to impairment of other bodily processes, resulting in death Naturalists may be reminded here of the tiny lemmings that reach a cer: tain point in population density that sends them plunging on a suicidal race to the sea, But urban dwellers may have the uncomfortable impression that the death of the sika deer hits closer up the upper classes in Portugsl, Sele ver 5 8 hero, But these sre the rich people, some incredibly rich, Along with everything else poverty hes re- mained stable, Average esrmmings rn less than $220 & year, Portugsl hes by far the lowest standsrd of living n western Europe.

Education, except for learning to read, is frowned upon, With all of this hes coms politics! repression, too, Civil liberties are uns heard. of, There is absolutely no free: dom of the press, There sre no elec tions, by Balazar's decree, He was badly frightened by an election he ordered in 1958. Then Delgado, now exiled in Brazil, polled 26% of the votes = this in spite of the fact thet he had only 30 to organize his campaign, Salazar let only 11% of the adults votes the police and srmy intimidated the elgado camprigners; the press called lgado & Communist, The elec: tion was followed by a shake-up In gov ernment, Moderates expelled, Censorship was strengthened, Space to home for them, the days were Baltimore Sun comments Bpace is one of the vital attributes of habitat, as Edward Highee, geographer and agronomist, has recently written in The Squeeze, and space is what the urban dwellers in their rapid multiplies tion are steadily losing The urban dwellers who goes to the suburbs for greenery, only to have the city leap-frog aver him; the urban dwel- ler. who seeks out a favorite pienis spot, only to find it converted to house lots or already occupied by dozens of other pienickers; the urban dweller whe retires at night to sleep, only to find that the noises of the city, its traffie, its voice, its sirens, slamming doors and its horns and bells are never silent; the urban dweller, indeed, whe finds that there are plways people ahead of him, at the parking garage, on the bus, in the stores, along the routes he wants to travel, can wonder to himself if his feeling, his longing for breathing space or a moment's silence is not akin to the pressure that overs come to the sika deer, the Sun observes, Always the Malthusian principle lias to his of physical nourishment, But the sika deer have shown that a healthy density has limits other than the amounts of food and water, hemmed-in been that man tends outrun subsistence, considered in terms Gold And Imagination There is something about gold and its problems that turn up all sorts of schemes, just mention the word and the plans float down from the clouds, up from secret subterranean chambers and from outer space, the Wall Btreet Journal notes, and continues; Especially intriguing is the propesal of Benator Clair Engle, the California Demoerat, Many of California's gold mines are closed hecause they ean't mine gold profitably at the Treasury price of §38 an ounce, So the senator proposed an sincentive allowance" (subsidy) ef an The Oshawa Times Tb WILSON, Publisher and General Menags © GWYN KINSEY Bde Oshawa Times sombininy fs Tn bari end he | PA Gastte an Cheonishs (satablished 1883), 1 Bubinhed daily (Sundays and statutory halidave exeepied) ot C ) Daily » p bots Publahery on, Ti anadian Pram, Audit Bureau of rom ey ve Ontarie Provineial Deilies Awae ciation.

But the subsidy to the miners could merely be raised, more gold could be mined, mare dollars printed, more...
