dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Thursday, September 21, 1961 UN Faces Most Critical Days Since Its Birth The death of Dag Hammarskjold is much more than the personal tragedy his immediate circle of relatives friends. At best, it means the loss of a man of unswerving integrity and dedication to a world that badly needs men of those qualities. At worst, it could. mean the death of the world's second attempt to establish an international of law and reason. Thus in Africa could be one of the great tragedies of our time, It is difficult to over-estimate the im- portance of the job done by Dag Ham- marskjold. The best gauge of that im- portance is the problem of replacement. There is not a single leader in all the nations of the world who could be replaced fairly quickly and without too much confusion. But who is to replace this quiet little Swede, with of one man and and order the death of one man great not his finely-tempered courage and selfless the of the United devotion to ideals Nations?

At Junior Chambers scattered across the country -- rather modest growth from the one that existed (in Winnipeg) 13 years earlier. But by 1939 there were 19 more Junior Chambers, and by the end of World War II, the total had reached 75. Since 1945 the growth has been spectacular, and there are more 300 Chambers scattered across the ten provinces. Two the tenets of the Jaycee creed are: The brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations; and service to humanity is the best work of life. The organization has taken positive steps to translate these ideals into action. Of particular significance is its program of attacking barriers be- tween English-speaking and = French- speaking Canadians. It ex- change extended taneous translation equipment and a Junior Chamber Commerce was formally in that time there were 26 now than member of sponsors visits, use of simul- ous men, of course, But the Communists, who tried so savagely to destroy Ham- marskjold, do not want that kind of successor. They want a triumvirate of secretaries -- a gimmick that would render the office of secretary-general completely ineffective and ultimately reduce the UN itself to impotency. They can be expected to use the sudden removal of Mr. Hammarskjold to further their designs. The next few days and weeks, will be critical ones for the UN, The nations of the West have declared their solid support of the UN. The smaller states, the young states despara- tely want it to live and grow; without it, thev would be in- desperate straits. Im- perfect as it is, it is still the best instru- ment we have for cutting into the angry growths in the international body. But an impotent UN would mockery and a deception.

In addition, through its with Junior Chamber International, it has assisted in such projects as Operation Brotherhood and the Tibetan refugee program. It has organized a nation-wide speaking con- test, and backed various traffic safety projects. The Junior Chamber is not a social club or a fraternity, but rather an edu- cational organization wherein the young men of any community, regardless of in a be a an ineffective association may join their race, color or creed, friendly to develop consciousness in constructive projects which will improve the community, the region and thé nation. The Oshawa Chamber demonstrates how this "brother- hood" operates. Th Junior Chamber has accomplished much in its comparatively brief span of existence. Its vigor and enlightened outlook on the Canadian and interna- tional scenes promise more accomplishes ment in the future. To the Jaycees, then, go our best wishes for many more significant anniversaries. spirit civic Mr. Warrender's Guide A 24-page booklet outlining the rights, and elected and appointed municipal representatives duties responsibilities of has become a best seller Published by the Ontario Municipal Affairs Department, the booklet is called "A Guide For Municipal Repre- sentatives'.

"It is clear that damage, extensive and in some' cases irreparable, would result from the loss of our present trading privileges with Britain,"" he told the recent Commonwealth Economic Con- ference in Ghana The nations forming the Com- mon Market will ulfimately en- joy tariff « [ree trade among themselves, but will impose a common tariff against all other nations. This will be the arith- metical average of the duties in effect in each member nation at the time when the Common Market was formed. SMALL COMFORT On a very few items, the Com- mon Market tariff will remain zero, as it now is on those items under the Commonwealth pre- ferential and most favored na tions tariffs. Such items of in- terest to Canadian exporters in- clude iron ore, copper ingots, nickel, mink skins, uranium ore selenium and platinum Our total exports to Britain last year totalled $915 million, substantially exceeding our $589 million imports from Britain. Our sales were spread over a wide range of some 600 items The largest category was non- ferrous metals, such as alumi- num, copper, nickel, uranium, zine, platinum and lead in order of Importance Such metals accounted for one- third of our exports to Britain Agricultural foods, chiefly wheat QUEEN'S PARK and barley. totalled $200 million, closely followed by wood pro- duets, of which more than half was newsprint paper and wood pulp PATTERNS CHANGE A wide range of animal pro ducts worth $35,000,000 included $6,000,000. of canned salmon, a like amount of cheese, but eggs, bacon and meats in quantities negligible compared to our war- time shipments serving as a re minder that trade patterns are changeable Chemicals and allied products, chiefly plastics and drugs, al- raost matched the value of ani- mal exports: most of our non- food agricultural shipments con- sisted of $20 million of tobacco and nearly that value of oil cake. Finally came iron and its products, valued at $73 million. Three quarters of this con sisted of iron ore and unmanu- factured iron bars and billets Machinery, cars, metal equip ment and the like, which are at tractive exports since they con- tain the greatest proportion of Canadian labor, thus al most insignificant in total Of our exports to Britain, $631 million, or 12 per cent of all our worldwide exports, will prob ably be seriously affected by the Common. Market tariffs was CHEAPER FOR EUROPE Our manufactures will be gravely threatened also by the general principle that the huge market of 220 million consum- ers in the European Community will enable its own plants to plan long production runs, and hence achieve costs well below ours Our agriculture, except for some hard wheat and some ani mal feed, will be confronted by favored French agriculture. But our raw materials will eon- tinue to be urgently needed--in creasingly perhaps as time passes -- by Europe's hungry plants.

Are they worth the extra money? W. J. Fallon, Deputy Minister of Highways, has given out a figure which shows that in at least one way they are The figure compared accident rates And on the big freeways such as the QE, and 401, the con trolled-access roads, these are only one-third what they are on the rest of the Kings Highways WHO PAYS? Mr. Fulton announced that a complete study of high way financing is underway This study could at last finally end an old controversy. And let it be hoped it will. For years there has been a continuing debate as to whether the highway user pays the cost of roads There are those who argue he does.

The government study may or may not bear this out One is: inclined to won't It would probably be more in the government interest to show a loss A loss tends to keep off the pressure from motorists for more and better roads And notably pressure to build them in more of a hurry than we have been doing And these studies, particularly when the'y bei made within the government itself as this one is, can be made to come out. pretty well as vou want them You don't exactly cook the fig. ures, but you take some of the meat and count it as suspect it are dre SEPARATE SPENDING?
