The Osharn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Thursday, August 3, 1961 Khrushchev Blueprint For Communist Utopia Khrushchev's blueprint for a Com- munist utopia runs to many thousands of words, put together in the customary clotted Communist style, and calls for painstaking study. But first reading of the digests of the lengthy document in- dicates that the Khrushchev effusion is nothing more than a Marxian version of a western-style election campaign speech. It is a blob of sweet candy around a withered nut of doctrine, We have become accustomed to Communist announcements of produc- tion targets -- targets which are rarely hit. But the latest "plan" makes its pre- decessors look modest. In less than 20 years the Soviet Union is not only to out- distance the United States (Khrushchev cannot get rid of his preoccupation with U.S. production standards) but is to achieve the theoretical stage of Com- munist bliss, in which everything is free except labor, Let us not belittle Soviet achieve- ments. In many fields they have made fantastic progress since the Bolshevik revolution, But at the same time, let us not regard them as supermen. The plain fact is that if the Soviet growth improves one per cent a year over that achieved Postal Rules Although the federal government has so far taken no legislative action as 2 result of the report of the Royal Commission on Publications, some new Post Office regulations are stated by Postmaster-General William Hamilton to be in conformity with recommenda- tions of the commission. The new regulations are designed to discourage a misleading appearance of Canadian origin in foreign printed advertising material brought to Canada for mailing. Under existing postal regulations, to avoid placing postage stamps on each of many identical pieces of printed ad- vertising material, bulk postage may be "paid at the time of mailing. A permit : i y obtained from the Post Office is printed +n the envelope as an indication that this has been done. Such permits are termed "postage-paid-in-cash." It has also been possible for for- eign business houses to prepay postage on business reply post cards. In the past no restrictions have been placed on the use of these special permits for material printed outside Canada. In future the Post Office will de- cline to sanction such facilities to for- eign publishers or advertisers unless during the past 40 years, and if US. growth is one per cent less than that recorded during the same period. the Russians will still be well behind the Americans by the end of this century. That is not supposition but a matter of statistics -- and based on the statistics produced by the Russians themselves. In other words, Russia needs a miracle in its own country and a disaster in the United States to achieve the Khrushchev aim. The difference is that the United States has islands of poverty surrounded by an ocean of prosperous living, while the Soviet Union has islands of prosper ity surrounded by an ocean of poverty. Still, Khrushchev must offer the Russians some bright prospect for all their work, self-denial and lack of indi« vidual liberty. But at the same time he must keep up the appearance of being a sound doctrinaire Communist, which accounts for the gobbledygook about the withering away of the state. Khrushchev is too much the realist and too politicals ly mature to produce such rubbish with- out tongue in cheek, but there are others in the Communist world -- notably the Chinese -- who are infants in the dial- ectic development, Tightened written assurance is furnished that the necessary electro will be used only on mail matter printed in Canada. Announcing the change, Postmas- ter - General Hamilton said that some foreign advertisers have used Canadian postage-paid-in-cash dies to give their material a "made in Canada" appear ance. The inclusion in foreign periodicals and advertising materials of business. reply cards bearing Canada Post Office permit numbers had heightened the im. pression, he said. The change in regulations coincides with a recent announcement by the post master-general that, effective August 1, the postage rate on foreign publications mailed in Canada would be increased from an average of two and one-half cents per pound to a flat rate of five cents per pound. In order not to interfere with the free flow of information across interna- tional borders it is desirable to show discretion with regard to restrictions on the distribution of publications printed outside the country. At the same time there is no reason why the government should place undue advantages in the way of printed matter which is in direct competition with the domestic product, View From Two Sides The Manchester Guardian sees the possibility of a row between London and Washington over the Berlin crisis. If it comes it will be melancholy proof that even nations so allegedly close together culturally and otherwise as Britain and the U.S. can fail utterly in understanding. Washington, the Guardian says, thinks Britons too eager to appease the: Reds. Britain, for its part, figures the U.S. is too ready to use nuclear weapons. It all brings to mind what Joseph C. Harsch wrote from London for the Christian Science Monitor. He, too, found this lamentably false picture on both sides of the Atlantic. Americans, Ye said, know the British image of them- selves is not in accordance with all the facts. He suggests the American misin- he Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager €.

A public opinion poll in the U.S, Mr. Harsch goes on, probably would show 71 per cent of Americans ready to fight for Berlin. A similar poll in Britain would give the opposite result. Parade the Stars and Stripes in an American city and the crowd thrills with patriotism. Parade the Union Jack in England and the crowd would con- clude the Tories were holding a rally, and walk the other way. That's because Britons regard out- ward 'shows of patriotism as in poor taste. Also Harsch says, the British al- ways talk pacifist -- until just before the shooting starts. Making Britons and Yankees under- stand each other isn't easy. Tempera- mentally there's quite a gulf. Canadians are probably closer to the British model in this regard, the Vancouver Sun sug- gests. They possibly understand the Britons better. But explaining it to a third party is the difficulty.

His guest columnist today is the Hon. Lester B. Pearson, leader of the Oppo- sition and Liberal MP for Algoma East, Ont. OTTAWA -- Canada is a great trading nation! Our national prosperity depends on expand- ing international trade. It is im- perative, therefore, that our pol- icies be designed to meet the competition that every day grows more intense in the mar- ket places of the world. I represent Algoma East, a constituency which -- like so many--lives on trade, and is particularly - interested in for- eign trade. The people there know from hard experience what happens when our exports to the U.S.A. decline; our American tourists stop turning up in one of the finest holiday areas in the whole of Canada. The conse- quences in other areas may be different, but they are no less keenly felt. As it happens, international trade is in the process of revo- lutionary change. The most dra- matic manifestation of this is the growing trend to regional trade groupings. In Europe, for example there is the Common Market. Scoffed at as a Utopian dream 10 years ago, it is now a flourishing reality; a growing and dynamic trading area, and the third largest market for Canadian goods. Then there is the European Free Trade Area whose seven members, including Great Brit. ain, are moving toward integra- tion with the Common Market. Other new trade formations are taking shape in Central and South America, and in the Pa- cific. But it is the Common Market in Europe which will have the most immediate and far-reaching influence. : Holding as it does the promise of new vistas of economic co- operation and prosperity, it can- not fail to have a profound im- pact on Canada's economic fu- ture. How, then, are we to re- spond to the challenge it repre- sents? It seems to me that there are four quite distinct lines of ap- proach which a Canadian gov- ernment. could fellow. The first would be to move toward eco- nomic nationalism and high pro- tection. The second would be in the direction of economic inte- gration with the United States, with all its political conse- quences. The third way would be to rely solely on the General Agreement on Trade and Tar- iffs; on multilateral trade alone through further rounds of tariff negotiations. The fourth, and I believe, by far the best way, is to move towards closer co-oper- ation with Europe through the establishment of a great Atlantic trading area with a minimum of restrictions among its members. So far as course one is con- cerned, that of making ourselves economically more self - suffi- cient by moving toward greater economic nationalism, the ex- perience of the 1930's showed this to be hoth sterile and self- defeating. The second course calls for economic integration with the United States. While the U.S. to- day is our most important single customer, and we must continue to have the closest ties with her, the political and other kinds of anxlety already arising out of these relations will be intensified not weakened by integration. The third course is to rely solely on GATT, and general and multilateral and international trade. Without denying the im- portance of GATT in the liberal ization of trade in the past, the trend towards regionalism ne- cessitates that we now go be- yond jt. It would be tragic--for peace 30 YEARS AGO A. Heaps, MP for Winnipeg, addressed a mass meeting of as well as progress -- if this move toward European unity be- came divorced from, and in eco- nomic conflict with, North America. I can imagine nothing that would make Mr. Khrush- chev dance more happily. Yet this will likely happen unless we on this side of the Atlantic prevent it by putting into effect policies designed to build a solid Atlantic commun- ity, political and economie, in which the United States would be an indispensable partner. It will be as difficult a task as ever faced free peoples. It will cut across considerations of narrow national advantage, It will require special government assistance for those who may be hurt by the initial impact of change. It may seem to give foreigners competitive advan- tages. Any move toward deeper and wider economic co-operation, therefore, has to proceed care- fully and by stages. But unless we accept its necessity, as the only goal which makes eco- nomic sense in today's circum- 27 stances, then we are never likely to achieve it. The important thing to recog- nize is that the job of Atlantic economic consolidation be started before it is too late. The Communist empire -- with its economic and other policies cen- trally controlled and directed from Moscow--is doing its best to shorten the time span for us. We have no providential lease on a secure and prosperous life. The resolve to act now must be found. unemployed in the OCVI audi- torlum, Mr. and Mrs. Lance Beath of Beath Farms entertained about 1000 friends and neighbors at the old homestead near Colum- bus.

Degree of support for his meth- ods are much greater than that shown for Mr. Eisenhower in the middle of his second term. For every Canadian who decries Mr. Kennedy's work as disap- pointing--there are ten to give it the highest rating--excellent. Across the provinces almost eight in ten men and women rate Mr. Kennedy's program as excellent or fair, while only 4 in every hundred think it is poor. Main reason among this small group for complaint lies in the President's handling of the Cu- ban situation. Others say that he hasn't lived up to his prom- ises, or that he is not working By Excellent Fair Poor Undecided Kennedy hard enough for peace. Only a very small segment of the pub- lic holds that his lack of ex- perience has caused him to blunder.

I like to see our country ex- panding. This country has to become more industrious to cut down the unemployment. I ask, why not give the Canadian people the chance to build up their own country? I know that lotteries were discussed many times by government officials, but nothing was ever done about it. I have a very simple plan which could help the country in many ways. This plan was proposed by me to the Federal government but turned down without reason. The country is paying a great amount of money to promoters every year for setting up charity cam- paigns and the citizens are be- ing bothered by beggars. Also, a fair amount of money collect- ed from these people is being used for administration, there- fore not used for the actual pur- pose. My plan is to set up a char- ity organization, controlled by the federal government of Can- ada, with members from any province in Canada. This organ- ization could operate from one local point anywhere in Canada with a small staff that would keep the administration cost to a minimum. Advertising for members could be done by newspaper, radio and TV. Any person interested would send a ad membership fee of $1.00 per week to the head office, and upon receiving the money they will send out a membership INSIDE YOU Doctor Answers Readers' Queries By BURTON H. FERN, MD DEAR DOCTOR: After three years of doctoring, I still have high blood pressure. When I re- lax, the reading is normal, but anxious tension sends it way up. How can I overcome this high blood pressure? Mr.. J. R. Dear Mr. R.: You have bouncy (labile), not high, blood pressure. It probably skyrockets whenever you see that blood pressure aparatus. When you learn to roll with the punch, your blood pressure won't bounce around. Meanwhile, your doctor can suggest medicines to relax both mind and blood vessels. USED FAT HARMFUL Dear Docior: After deep fry- ing, I pour the cooking oil into a jar and refrigerate until next time. A friend tells me that used fat nurtures cancerous bacteria. Does it. Mr. C. N. Dear Mr. N.: He's no friend! While certain cancers have been blamed on viruses, no- body has yet pointed a guilty finger at bacteria. And neither viruses nor bacteria can live after being boiled in oil! NO VITAMINS Dear Doctor: Do mushrooms have any food or vitamin value? My husband says you have to develop a taste for them. Mrs. J. S. Dear Mrs. S.: Mushrooms supply no more vitamins than a glass of water. In fact, mush- rooms are all water except for a little fat, a scattering of min- erals and some fibre. Many people enjoy the taste, but in many others, this taste hasn't mushroomed! BEE VENOM Dear Doctor: Where is bee venom sold? I'm allergic to stings, bul my doctor doesn't seem to know very much about this. Mrs. E. B. Dear Mrs. B.: He can find out more on pages 917-21 of the August '59 issue of Pediatric Clinics of N.A. The allergy department of any university hospital can probably supply the venom. It's also sold by commercial sup- pliers like the Allerby Labs, Inc, 1111 N. Lee avenue, Okla- homa City, Okla. Give your doctor a buzz and tell him! BILIARY HEPATITIS DIET? Dear Doctor: Is there a spe- cial diet for biliary hepatitis? Mrs. G. B. Dear Mrs. B.: You probably mean those first few weeks of hepatitis when bile backs up into the system. During hepatitis you can en- joy a regular, healthful diet if you feel up to it. But usually appetites fade and stomachs feel queasy. Small, frequent feedings of liquid or semisolid hot cereal, lean meats, milk, cottage cheese and simple desserts stay down best Lollipops and hard candy can help your liver, too. REPORT FROM U.K. Enlarge Program Of Youth Service By M. Mcintyre Hood Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times London -- The United King- dom govehnment, through the ministry of education, is under- taking a large scale program based on its concern for the welfare of the youth of this country. In this program it will invest millions of dollars to pro- vide for the expansion of youth clubs and centres under a great- ly enlarged scheme for youth service buildings. In a state- ment made in the House of Commons, Sir David Eccles, minister of education, said that within the next two or three years, more than 750 new youth clubs and centres will be pro- vided. Construction work has already started on some of these. The program provides for both buildings and full - time youth leaders. In the fiscal year of 1961 -- 1962, the outlay on buildings will be close to $8,500,000. In the following fis- cal year, the amount will be stepped up to $11,500,000. TRAINING LEADERS In 1962, about 150 newly- trained full-time youth leaders will be available for the staffing of new youth centres. Many will have finished courses at the National College for the Train- ing of Youth Leaders, which was established at Leicester a year ago. This number will be exceeded by-a substantial figure in the following year. The assistance given to national voluntary youth organ- izations will share $650,000 in grants this year for headquar- ters administration and training expenses. This is double the figure of two years ago, when 23 organizations received $344,000. Sir David Eccles said that since the publication of the Albemarie report on the youth services last year, he had offered $160,000 in grants for experiments and special devel- opments in the field of youth services. Sir David added: GROWING EFFORTS There is encouraging evidence of growing co-operation and in- itiative on the part of the local education authorities and volun- tary organizations to.match' the efforts of the government to ex- pand and develop the youth service . "As occasion requires, I shall consider with these partners and the Youth Service Devel opment Council what further steps are necessary towards that end." Sir David said that he expect- ed to announce soon the qualifi- cations for the status of quali- fied youth leaders. He under- stood that the joint negotiating committee for youth leaders was about to make recommendations on salaries and conditions of service. The next step would be to consider the training of part- time youth leaders and assist. ants. gu Indicating a number which be considered lifetime. If, for example. the organ. ization will have one mu. lion members, every week one million dollars is available, One-half of this money should be given in turn to all charity funds, for crippled children, Red Feather, etc. Every week one member's number will be drawn, and this member is the weekly winner and will receive the other 50 per cent of the money less administration costs. Every winner has to pay a membership fee for 10 years in advance ($520), but his num. ber cannot be drawn again. This money will go into a trust account and the interest could also be used for any chairty fund. This money is given freely and happily by the people and at the same time they have hopes of winning a sizeable amount of money. In many cases the money will be invest. ed in the birth of anew, all Ca. nadian industries, thus reduc. ing the unemployment in Can. a. I have this plan worked out fo the smallest detail and what I have written in this letter is only the general idea. I realize that this plan at the moment is illegal, however, it would seem that bingos, raffles, horse races, etc., are overlooked when pro- ceeds are going to charity, Therefore, I see no reason why this plan could not be operated in the same way. If not, legis- lation should be passed to per- mit this plan. Canadian people are spending a great amount of money by buying Irish Sweep- stake tickets. This Canadian dollar is taken out of the coun- try to build hospitals, etc. in an- other country. However, as I read in the newspaper, Attorney - General Roberts appointed a two man fact-finding committee to exam. ine legal aspects of gambling in the western world. What I can- not understand is, why does our government have to investigate other countries about lotteries and gambling before they will make their own decision? I feel that they are underrating the Canadian people's ability in us- ing their own minds concerning the legalizing of lotteries. Can- ada is potentially the most prose perous country in the world to- day, and its people no less in- telligent. Therefore, I see no reason why we must send a * group of fact-finders to less sig- nificant countries to see how lotteries are being operated and their effects on the people. Please write me your opin- fon concerning this matter to Box 1265, Dryden, Ontario. It might help to legalize a plan like this for the good of the peo- ple and of the country. Dryden. ..

QUEEN'S PARK Complex Demands Bother Government By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- One of the im- portant problems of good gov- ernment today is the complexity of its problems. In the last two decades alone government--so far as the ex- tent and intricacy of its prob- lems is concerned--has grown practically from diapers to long pants. Even as short a while ago as the thirties the major problems of provincial government cen- tered on roads and liquor. Largely unknown were the questions of marketing, educa- tion - for - all, municipal grants, welfare and pensions, federal- provincial agreements and the other problems which take the spotlight today. In 1940 the provincial budget was less than $100,000,000 as against the billion dollars a year we spend today. WEAKNESS: MEMBERS! This has meant demands on the professional civil service (which has grown from 5,000 to more than 40,000 employees in 20 years). Professional people, however, can be bought or trained. But our elected representation consists entirely of what the people send to the legislature. And here is the growing weak- ness as our system gets more and more complex, For the members of the House know Jess and less about the affairs they are discussing and controlling through legislation. Inevitably, it would seem, this means we will be heading more and more fo government by bureaucracy. There is little chance that we will improve the standards of our legislatures by much. The trend actually has been the other way. The intelligence and capacity of the average member seems to be getting lower, if anything. Any House today that has half a dozen men who can really grasp the affairs before it is doing better than average. And there is no sign that in- creasing numbers of the calibre of men who can grasp public af- fairs will make the sacrifice of running for office--though many of them are free in their criti- cism of how things are man- aged. NEED PRINCIPLE If this indicates an inevitable growth in bureaucratic control, it also makes imperative a growth in the one compensating factor we have to meet this: Strong knowledge of principle. If we know how our system works, and why it has grown in the shape it has we will al- ways be-able to control bureaucs-- racy. But if, as has been the case, we tend to lose sight of this we also will lose healthy govern. ment.
