The Osha Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, June 21, 1961 Assistance Program Wins Wide Praise For the last seven months the SS Hope has been hovering about the har- bors and shores of Indonesia on one of the most successful assistance pro- grams ever undertaken. The Hope is a former naval ship donated by the U.S. government and refurbished with mutual security funds. Operations costs of $3,500,000 for a year are being met by private subscrip- tion. The ship carries 15 physicians, 24 nurses and 30 medical technicians, plus groups of specialists who have been flown to the far east for short periods of service. On its first mission the Hope staff held 800 classes and lectures for Indo- nesian medical personnel. Some 17,000 patients were treated. There were 700 major operations. More than 30,000 visited the ship. Now the Hope starts a four month visit to Vietnam, starting in Saigon. Its success so far has sparked a drive to create a "white fleet" to carry out similar work around the world. The senate recently adopted a resolution support- ing such a fleet. Under it the president could order ships fitted out for the job. He could send them wherever he thought there was need and where United States foreign policy would be helped. The support given the SS Hope indi- cates that the public would contribute to such a fleet. The enthusiastic response of Indonesians indicates that the mis- sion is a success already. Jobs Seek Workers The move by the Ontario Department of Education to develop a special $80 million program involving the construc- tion of new trade and technical training facilities across the province, is a timely one when we consider the unemploy- ment situation in Canada compared with that in the British Isles. One of the most skilled jobs in the Medway towns in England today is finding skilled workers for factories. The latest figures show there are 1,000 jobs vacant, and 500 of these are for skilled men. One employment exchange official says the shortage of skilled workers is so serious that many factories have ma- chines idle because: of lack of staff to operate them. The picture of Britain's unemploy- ment is fortunately entirely different to that facing North America. Britains level of unemployment has dropped to such a low point that it has become embarrassing. There are more jobs today looking for people than there are people chasing jobs. Experts in Britain's ministry of labor now figure that if the present trend is maintained for the next two months that the unemployment rate will be down to the one per cent level. That will mean the greatest measure of full employment which the country has known since 1956, It also means that practically everyone who is capable of working will have a job. The fact that acute labor shortages are showing up in many industries and several sections of the country, is a much different picture than is found in North America today. It also points to the value of technical training in our educational system. The new vocational schools now being planned by the On- tario Department of Education should elevate the stature of technical training to the position it should enjoy. And provide the youth of today with an op- portunity for a rewarding career based on technical and commercial as well as academic education. China Is Held Back Orientals write a word by drawing a picture. We are not all constituted alike. Many people want things for nothing. They do little work, and expect to be taken care of. But nobody ever gets anything for long that he does not earn. Red China is finding this true. Two of Red China's big industtrial projects have bogged down because Rus- sia is failing to deliver equipment promis- ed. The hydro-electric development along the Yellow River is one case. There Red China plans to build more than two dozen dams and power stations. Some dams are finished, but the genera- tors which Russia was to deliver months ago still have not arrived. Red China's ship-building industry is in a similar fix. In shipyards along the north-western coast, "many" ships are completed, but lack engines. Russia has again failed to deliver. Two crop failures in succeeding years have brought Red China to almost ban- kruptcy. Her recent huge purchases of wheat from Australia and Canada proved this. And President Kennedy is in no mood to help. The U.S. budget runs to 20 billion a year as it is--a formidable outlay. He told Congress "Our strongest hope is disarmament," and profhised to keep disarmament high on the U.S. agenda. Algae Pure Water's Foe Constant vigilance is the price that must be paid to safeguard the purity of drinking water. Twenty dogs died after drinking water out of Buffalo Pound Lake, north of Moose Jaw, Saskatche- wan. The contamination was caused by blue-green algae. The department of natural resources has been spraying the beaches fre- quented by the public with copper sulphate to combat the algae.

He also stressed that livestock should not be permitted to drink the water. The algae were blamed on hot weather and low water. Both Moose Jaw and Regina draw their water from Buffalo Pound Lake. It is the raw water that is dangerous, not the treated water. There are many kinds of algae, and not all are poisonous. Nevertheless, some can cause skin disease or illness even thoygh there are no fatal results. Other Editor's Views LIMITED WAR (Kingston Whig-Standard) It happens that by now the United States has begun to think--at long last--that it is time to provide the capacity to fight limited war with conventional weapons. This means that we in Canada will probably also give up the basic tenet of our military policy so far the idea that any war in which we could possibly be involved would be nuclear.

THE GALLUP POLL: Public Splits On Immigration By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Canadians split closely in opin- fon as to whether or not they lems have undoubtedly had an effect on this point of view. The Gallup Poll checked to see if Canadians had changed think the heavy post-war immi- their minds on the subject by gration has been a good thing repeating this question: for the country. While almost half the public, 49 per cent, say "SINCE THE WAR MANY PEOPLE FROM OTHER it's been beneficial, almost as COUNTRIES HAVE COME TO large a segment, 42 per cent, LIVE IN CANADA. ON THE now say it has not been a good thing. This is a big increase in disapproval over the past ten years. In 1950, shortly after the end of World War II there were almost twice as many Cana- dians ready to believe that in- flux of New Canadians was a fine idea, as those who dis- approved of it. Jobless prob- A good thing .....eceeesenses Not a good thing Qualified Undecided sevenes sseasevsssneses snesnsnnne The Nation is even more con- vinced that it is giving New Canadians a fair chance to es- tablish themselves, than it was at the beginning of the Fifties, At that time 77 per cent felt this had been done; today the belief is held by 89 per cent of the people. Nationality makes quite a dif- ference on these reactions as would be expected. Canadians, born and bred, are considerably less likely to think that post-war immigration has been a good WHOLE, DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR CAN- ADA OR NOT?" Since 1950, while the propor- tion of those who approve the post - war immigration has re- mained at about the same level, opposition to it has mount- ed significantly.

All Canadians be- lieve to much the same degree, however, that new citizens have been given a fair chance. Not all Canadian-born citizens have had an opportunity to meet personally the many thousands of immigrants now in the coun- try. Across the nation about three in four have done so. One fourth the Canadian - born popu- lation has never met a New Canadian personally. World Copyright Reserved READER'S VIEWS Dr. Chaput Highly Praised The Editor, The Oshawa Times. Dear Sir: I read with some interest your editorial in The Oshawa Times of June 14, entitled "Dr. Chap- ut"s Speeches: Freedom or Li- cence". The editorial was inter- esting to me for two reasons. 1. I happen to know Dr. Chaput personally, and 2. It expresses a, rather unusual point of view. As you know Dr. Chaput is employed by the Defence Re- search Board which comes un- der the Department of National Defence. He is hence a civil servant. I quote R. Macgregor Dawson when I point out: "Ten- ure in the civil service has al- ways been a pleasure, but this has by long established cus- tom become tenure during good behaviour. Political activity, however, has always been con- sidered to be misbehaviour (par- ticularly when it has favored the wrong party) and such conduct has therefore become an ac- cepted justification for dismis- sal. The great bulk of the civil service in recent years have carefully preserved their politi- cal neutrality and with it their security." He goes on further to say that the means taken to determine political partisanship inspire little confidence. But surely the case of Dr. Chaput is clearcut, and there can be no arguing about his engaging in political activities. With the above in mind, the situation is simply this. By long established custom civil ser- vants are denied political ac- tivity, with the inference follow- ing that they are denied free- dom of speech, at least within the area of politics. One may decry this, as you do . . . "there is no reason that a man should be gagged simply be- cause he works for a crown agency", but it simply remains the state of affairs, Under this state of affairs Dr. Chaput can te fired. Freedom of speech is a rela- tive thing, I imagine the same situation that Dr. Chaput has en- countered in the civil service can be found in an organization where someone runs around pro- claiming loudly political views at odds with those of the com- pany. The man is not supposed to be fired for this. But he often is. There is a difference, though, between that situation and Dr. Chaput"s. He can be fired, for example, if he active- ly campaigns for the party in power, while a civil servant. There is at least one good rea- son for the "long-established custom". It tends to curb poli- tical patronage, and hence im- prove the administration and operation of the civil service. Also, as a civil servant, IT re- member discussing politics at some length with people in pri- vate conversation. I did this without fear of being fired. I was not allowed to make any public speeches on polities, how- ever. But I also was not al- lowed to shout obscenities on street corners. As I said, free- dom of speech is relative. Be that as it may, I had the occasion to share an office with Dr. Chaput at DRB for a per- iod of about four months one time. I do not remember our discussing politics to any great extent, Certainly I was un- aware of his views about the secession of Quebec. Indeed they may not have been formu- lated at that time, for this was in 1957. But one thing I do know about him. He is no fool. He is an intelligent human be- ing with considerable maturity. And while I personally hold no brief for his views about seces- sion as I have read them, I doubt very much in 10 years he will be embarassed by the whole affair. Furthermore, it seems to me that Dr. Chaput has acted in a very intelligent manner indeed, if 1 guess his motives aright. He was and is obviously aware of the restrictions on the activities of civil servants in the political sphere. Yet he chose to be come vice-president of a Que- bec secessionist party, and to invite several members of par- liament to a speech he made in Hull, Quebec, across the river from Ottawa. I think that Dr. Chaput was completely aware of any possible consequences of his act. He has been apparent- ly passionately devoted to his cause, and he has garnered for it, through himself, a tremen- dous amount of free publicity. He has made the editorial pens of the land stir. All at the risk of losing his job, I agree. But that might not be so bad from his point of view. Such an event might well make him a cause celebre in the matter of human rights in Canada. His political views would receive, if they have not done so already, a coast to coast airing, and his party would receive even more publicity. That, I imagine, would make Dr. Chaput very happy. In a way, I admire his strate- gy. If I had had what seemed to me to be a worthwhile cause while I was employed as a civil servant, I might have done the same thing. If I had been smart enough to think of it. Yours sincerely DOUGLAS DINNIWELL BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The Dr. T. E.
