Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. ~The Osharon Sones Page 6 Saturday, July 29, 1961 Three Points Of Policy In Address By Kennedy There were three big points in President Kennedy's address to the people of the United States -- and of the world -- this week. They were: the freedom of West Berlin is not "negotiable", and the United States is prepared to go to war to defend it; other questions involving the two Ger- manies are negotiable; the United States is changing its inflexible policy, to enable it to fight conventional as well as nuclear wars. The three points form the framework of sound policy, and deserve the fullest support of the West and all free nations. And they should not be lightly dismissed by the Russians. The Communists should make no mistake about the Kennedy determina- tion or about its public backing. This was a different Kennedy speech, with few traces of the felicitous phrasing which has marked his previous addresses. It was a blunt, sometimes almost brutal, expression of policy -- perhaps deli- berately so, to shake the complacency of those who refuse to see in danger in Russian rantings, and to impose caution on the blithe spirits in the U.S. Congress who rattle sabres on the slightest provo- cation. But there was no mistaking its direct message to Khrushchev: The U.S. is willing to talk over German problems, but will not tolerate any attempt by the Communists to swallow Berlin. The third point is also significant, for both the allies of the United States and the Soviet Union. The Eisenhower policy virtually made it impossible for the United States to fight anything but a nuclear war. It was a policy that gave the Russians an enormous advantage in flexibility and practically invited them to stir up brush-fire wars. And it placed the non-nuclear nations of the West in the difficult position of having to rely on the U.S. willy-nilly, or go broke try- ing to build their own nuclear weapons. The Kennedy program should give great reassurance to the smaller free nations, relieve the larger nations of much worry and impose some caution on the Com- munists, More Development Time Laymen might not fee] an affinity with him, but experts have maintained that a small-brained creature called Zin- janthropus has to be reckoned among our near-human ancestors because he made and used tools. Now they say radioactive dating shows the "nutcracker man" to be at least three times older than had been supposed. It is a fascinating discovery with thought - provoking implications, the Christian Science Monitor comments. Zinjanthropus lived at what one can call the dawn of the age of humanity on this planet. His toolmaking abilities represent the beginnings of the rise of what we regard as intelligence as op- posed to the instincts and rudimentary thought processes of animals. It has been fashionable to think of this era as a geologically) scant six to seven hundred thousand years ago. Now it appears to be at least a million years older than that and perhaps more. The sudden appearance of human intelligence within a few hundred thousand years had been considered an evolutionary wonder. The new time scale gives the leisurely process of evo- lutionary change a more reasonable time in which to operate. This adds to the evidence that, far from being a unique phenomenon, the rise of humanity is easily understood in terms of the general process of the evolution of animal life on this planet. Is it so far fetched then to believe, as many natural scientists do, that analo- gous evolutionary patterns are being worked out on other planets circling dis- tant stars? The criterion of humanness associated with Zinjanthropus is that he made tools. The other important criterion that dis- tinguishes human kind is the faculty of articulate communication. Someday in their travels through space men may meet another tool- making, communicating race. Will they recognize such creatures as also "hu. man"? Great Report Of 1840 With thoughts being focussed on the centenary of Canadian Federation in 1967, interest is being revived in the memorable Durham Report of 1840, with its recommendations which led to the union of Lower Canada and Upper Can- ada in 1841. The report also set down the elements of responsible government and municipal admjnistration. It has long been looked upon as one of the greatest state papers in the English language. Excerpts from the famous report will open a new series by the British Broad- casting Corporation entitled, "The Family of Nations." John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham, was a Whig aristocrat who, in an age of reaction, devoted most of his life to the cause of the oppressed. The climax of his carrier came in the opening years of Queen Victoria's reign, when he was sent to Canada by the Imperial government to report on the situation there. The report defined the principle that should govern the relations of the then colony with the mother country and he Osha Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and Generali Manager C.

Lord Durham was characterized in some respects as a director but in the historical series "Chronicles of Canada," there is this reference to the Durham document: "Few parliamentary reports are closer packed with vital facts or couched in clearer language. To the task of its composition the author brought energy, insight, a sense of public duty, desire to be fair, and best of all, an open mind, a perfect readiness to relin- quish principal prepossessions or pre- judices in the face of fresh facts. His ample scheme of investigation, as car- ried out by himself and his corps of able helpers, had put him in control of a huge assemblage of data. On this he reasoned with admirable results." present It is generally agreed by historians that the Durham Report eventually led to the passing by the British parliament in 1931, of the Statute of Westminster. In the statute the Dominions, as well as the United Kingdom are defined as "autonomous communities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another, in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common alle- giance to the Crown and freely as- sociated as members of the British Com- monwealth of Nations." It is fitting, in anticipation of an im- portant national anniversary, to recall the history of the evolution of Canada' to the status of a self governing nation.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON ~--Hugh Gaitskell, Labor party leader, has taken on a new aspect of confidence and dominance, not only in his own party, but in the House of Commons. Relieved of his major worries within the party by the assurance that he will win a clear-cut victory at its annual conference on the subject of de- fence, he is now turning his guns in the proper direction -- against the government, and doing it very effectively. This was apparent in a House of Commons' debate on the gov- ernment's economic policy. His attack was venomous, so much so that the Tories, including Mr. Macmillan, sat back and listen- ed in astonished silence. Mr. Macmillan made one in- terjection. In the midst of the attack on the government, he leaned forward and told Mr. Gaitskell: "Well, I didn't de- value the pound." Quick as a flash came back Mr. Gaitskell's reply: "You devalued something else. You devalued our moral stand- ards." There can be no question that the swing of the trade unions behind the official defence policy upheld by Mr. Gaitskell has put new life and vigor into the Labor leader. He was on solid fighting ground when he attack- ed the government's economic plight, and he made the most of it. Not all that Reginald Maud- ling and Selwyn Lloyd had to say in reply could overcome the massive onslaught of the opposi- tion leader. On the day, the honors went to the opposition, but the majority vote to the gov- ernment. STILL PROSPEROUS One of the paradoxes of the economic situation is that while there are dangers of inflation, a large unfavorable balance of payments, and a threat to the value of the pound, Britain is siiil a mighty prosperous country. Mr. MacMillan made this clear when he said in an unchallenged statement in the House: "I remember no time when the people of this country were better housed, better clothed and better employed." There was no opposition answer to that, because the statement is true. That this prosperity is likely to continue is forecast in the re- cent issue of the General Eco- nomic Council's export guide, which predicts an expansion in exports of more than the usual five per cent in the second half of 1961. The statement says: "As exports rise, imports should fall, as British manufac- OTTAWA REPORT Gloom Purveyors Derided By Starr Patrick Nicholson is on va- cation. His guest columnist today is the Hon. Michael Starr, Minister of Labor and Conservative MP for Ontario County, Ont. What has been rather sur- prising to me in recent weeks has been the rallying of both opposition parties to the stand- ard of 'tight money" policy, as exemplified by the Coyne-Pick- ersgill school, both during the budget debate and the debate on the Bank of Canada bill. Most people would have thought that the Liberals had learned their lesson with regard to tight money in 1956 when a wave of criticism and opposition ran across the country against identical policies being pursued by the Governor of the Bank. These policies hurt the Lib- eral government at the time and I believe, contributed to the de- feat of that tired and monolithic structure by the taxpayers of this country. Now, in the last few weeks of the session, we had the curious spectacle of the Liberals once more rallying to defend that pol- icy which had contributed to their downfall. Tight Money seemed to be the flame around which the Liberal moths were determined to singe themselves. The budget, of course, repre- sented an expansionist monetary policy; a policy similar to that pursued by the Federal Reserve Board in the United States in the expansionary period of 1934 and 1935 when business in the U.S. received a massive shot in the arm from federal spending programs. The present budget, as the minister of finance pointed out, is designed to put idle plant ca- pacity and idle hands to work through stimulating the economy at a time when economic stimu- lus is necessary. The budget provided for an estimated deficit of three-quar- ters of a billion this year; and no one was hiding the possibil- ity that the deficit might be even greater, What did the deficit repre- sent? The deficit represented stimu- lus-spending by the federal gov- ernment--that is the people of Canada--in the precise amount indicated, in order that public spending should take up the slack left by hold-backs in the private sector, and thus guaran- tee a high level of activity in business and employment. What precisely has been hap- pening? A sharpened economic climate resulting from a temporary with- ering away of the Canadian market to foreign competition, has meant a lessening of spend- ing in the private sector of our economy. In other words, Canadian in- dustry and commerce is simply battening down the hatches un- til the storm blows over. Now, the government has brought down some 25 measures during the session of Parliament as well as an additional 21 measures in the budget, to help business, to help the economy, and to provide new jobs within the next few months. Those who have confidence in the ability, the know-how and the aggressiveness of Canadian business--and I am one--feel that within a matter of months business will 'be back in full- scale operation, partly as a re- sult of wide-ranging federal aid and partly as a result of the natural resiliency and stamina of the Canadian busines com- plex. New orders will come in, inventories will be built up, jobs will be provided. This is where confidence comes in. Those who have no confidence, either in the measures or in business, are still trumpeting doom and gloom; still foresee- ing all kinds of dire conse- quences. They are viewing the world through jaundice-colored glasses. They are the ones who are still clinging to the tight money theory with all the desperation of shipwrecked sailors clinging to a floating spar. They will not believe in the reality of help being at hand in the shape of a vigorous, dynamic monetary policy. The interesting thing about the expansionist policies being fol- lowed by the present govern- ment is that these policies proved effective in the Roose- velt era when they were instru- mental in expanding business and industry, stimulating the economy, and providing jobs. Anyone doubting this might read Beckoning Frontiers, by Mar. riner S. Eccles, who was gover. nor of the Federal Reserve Board, a position corresponding to governor of the Bank of Can- ada, and who explains the ben- eficial results of expansionist policies at that time. Thus, in spite of shrill opposi- tion cries about 'debasing the currency," and "deficit budget- ing," the policies brought for- ward by the minister of finance have already been tried and found to be effective. They also had the virtue of being the only policies practica- ble under present circum- stances. A return to tight money and budget balancing would have meant higher taxes and a cut-back of federal aid to busi- ness, to the farmer, to the un- employed, to the veterans and to the aged. The result would have been fi- nancial stringency on all sides; a substantial reduction in the amount of purchasing power in the hands of consumers; a de- cline in sales all across the board; and a further erosion of available employment. No government at the present hour--or at any hour for that matter--could responsibly up- hold such a sequence of dis- aster. Above all, it was curious, dur- ing the budget debate, to hear CCF-Socialist speakers viewing with alarm the prospect of a sizable budget deficit. One had the impression that they had failed to read the many labor pronouncements on the subject; including the last Ca- nadian Labor Congress submis- sion to the cabinet; when the government was congratulated on deficit budgeting and urged to go farther and faster, The government has farther and faster, What the budget represents in simple terms, is a loan from the Canadian people to the Canadian people, at a reasonable rate of interest, re-payable over a long. gone term period; to tide the econ- * omy over a time when public confidence has been warped by the doomsters' chorus rising from the former Liberal govern- ment front bench -- about the only thing in which they are in agreement -- and to substitute public spending for the tempor- ary retrenchment in private spending; to give the economy a needed shot in the arm; to pro- vide more jobs for more people at 'this time. The other measures are all part of this economic "package" --the new training schools; the loans to business; the aid to municipal winter works; the anti-pollution loans; the wheat sales; the pension increases-- they all represent the most mas- sive government effort in the history of Canada fo get and keep the economy rolling in high gear; not a temporary basis, but on a basis of full-time prosperity and employment. Ther is a new direction in economic thinking. The direction is onward and upward. The re- sult will be a new buoyancy, a new stability in the economy, and a condition where new op- portunities will be made avail able to all Canadians. turers start their long-awaited cutback in stock-piling. And as the trade gap closes, the strength of sterling should show big improvements by early 1962. "The Guide's optimism about exports for the remainder of the year follows closely on the more favorable trade figures for June, in which month the trade gap was cut in half." GERMAN TROOPS COMING The firm announcement that a battalion of 600 German pan- zer troops will be coming for training in South Wales in 'Sep- tember has not aroused the storm of protest that was ex- pected. The House of Commons received the statement quite mildly, with no strong reply from the opposition. That there are misgivings about German troops coming to the United Kingdom was admitted by the war minister in making the an- nouncement, but he made the point that the Germans are NATO allies, just as are the Americans, and the British peo- ple have long been accustomed to having American air force personnel in their midst. The Daily Express, however, is opposing the coming of Ger- man troops, but not for an orthodox reason. Its case is stated in the following laconic editorial comment: "What an extraordinary speéc- tacle it is to have British troops training in Germany while Ger- man troops train in Britain. Why not play a game of musical chairs? Send the Germans back to Germany. Bring the British troops back to Britain." From what I have seen of the vast areas being used for train- ing by the British army in Ger- many, there is a good deal to be said in favor of this viewpoint put forward by the Daily Ex- press. The last word has not been said in discussions between the British and Commonwealth gov- ernments regarding possible British entry into the European Common Market. On his return from Canada, at a press con- ference, Duncan Sandys ac- knowledged that Mr. Diefen- baker's plea for a full Common- wealth conference of prime min- isters might still be granted.

It is a storehouse of spiritual strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake, (2) For his children's sake of his community and nation.
