OTTAWA REPORT Third Big Power In Market Area She Osha Sones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Wednesday, September 27, 1961 Page 6 Kennedy Speech Offers Fresh Discussion Base President Kennedy said pretty well what he was expected to say in his address to the UN General Assembly on Monday, but that did not lessen the significance of the speech. He was firm without being unreasonable; the imagi- native disarmament proposal could lead to at least a propaganda victory; he reiterated Western support of free Ber- lin but opened the door to negotiation by suggesting a major shift in US. policy; and he spoke throughout as if he had no doubt about the future of the UN as the chief instrument of inter- national agreement. Weekend events in West Germany made it apparent that the United States was ready to dare the wrath of the West Germans by finally admitting that there are, in fact, two Germanies, and that there is no prospect now or in the foreseeable future of the two becoming one. There is still to much fear of a united Germany -- among many west- ern nations, as well as among Russians, Poles and Czechs; the Communists are not going to permit an honest referen- dum; which could be the only prelimi- nary to reunification; and the Russians cannot afford to let one slave state slip from their empire, because they would face immediate trouble in the other "colonies". The shift to acceptance of the reality of a divided Germany should make easier the course of negotiations with the Russians over Berlin. The status of Berlin and the status of the two Ger- manies are now, quite properly, separate questions. It was with hope rather than firm ex- pectations, probably, that Mr. Kennedy spoke of the future of the UN: "That is why my nation -- which has freely shared its capital and its technology to help others help themselves -- now pro- poses officially designation this decade of the 1960s as the UN Decade of Deve- lopment." It could be such a decade. All it needs is men of goodwill to make it so. What seems to be lacking is enough goodwill. Blow Against Secrecy A noteworthy dissent has been record- ed by Mr, Justice Norris of the British Columbia Court of Appeal. The case concerned a will, and because the estate's business was a competitive one, it was argued and the court agreed that evi- dence could be taken behind closed doors. Mr. Justic Norris did not agree. He considered that the decision to hear the case in camera was wrong, because the principle of open hearing in the ad- ministration of justice transcended in importance the issues between the parties. Business embarrassment from com- petitors and others who might hear the evidence was, he said, "a submission which might be made with regard to a great deal of the litigation before our courts." He held that the question of whether a hearing should proceed in camera cannot be treated as a mere matter of procedure, and continued: "This is all the more important in view of the fact that our citizens accept with little or no open complaint the increas. ing tendency towards secrecy in public affairs in respect of which there should be general public knowledge. Secrecy breeds suspicion and rumor with con- sequent disrespect for law. Such is the result whether the secrecy, as in this case, is without evil intent or whether there is an actual intent to deceive." The learned judge was repeating, in his own words, Lord Atkin's classic admonition that justice is not a cloistered virtue and must be allowed to suffer public scrutiny and comment. And before him, Bentham warned: "Publicity is the very soul of justice. It is the keenest spur to exertion and the surest of all guards against improbity. It keeps the judge himself while trying under trial." It is good that people like Mr. Justice Norris remind us about the dangers of secrecy. All too often we ignore the dangers. If we do that of ten enough, we will wake up one of these days to find the threat the reality. Audiences And Artists Speaking to the Ontario County Cana- dian Club in Oshawa last week, Mavor Moore touched on the implications to today's artists of new materials and means of communication. Tremendous audiences can now be reached, but the fact that there ar such tremendous audiences may condition both the artist's thinking and his method of ex- pression. The outstanding educator and writer Jacques Barzun has been preoccupied with this same theme. The very avail ability of art to great audiences worries him. He puts it this way: "Too much art in too many places means art robbed of its right associations, its exact forms, its concentrated power. We are grateful for the comprehensive repertoire which modern industry for the first time puts within our reach, but we turn sick at the aggressive temptation, like the novice in the sweetshop . . . Now that a whisper can resound mechanically over a multi- tude and a string quartet fill a stadium, forms and ideas are reduced to indis- The Oshavon Sines T. L.

The Art with a capital A which is being repudiated as well as popularized, is an art of discourse, that is, full of ideas; it embodies and evokes the strongest emotions, rather than pur- veys immediate pleasure; and it is highly organized asthetically. Now what charac- terizes the contemporary taste in art? It is the dislike and distrust of ideas, the substitution of sensation for strong emo- tion, and the taking refuge from an aesthetic understanding in the intricacies of technique. Hence the inevitable dis- tortion of what the larger public assimi- lates" As Mavor Moore pointed out, all the new media make arbitrary demands on the materials fed through them and be- cause the public to be served is large and failures costly, it is important that the product suit -- hence the endless cut- ting and adapting, re-working and di- luting, which end in travesty; blurbs replace criticism, and digests replace good prose; soft words replace harsh ones and happy endings replace grim ones. Thus do the powerful devices of mechanical reproduction and high pres- sure distribution produce what might be called a cultural awakening and then distort and destroy the taste for culture, Other Editor's Views BUTTERY BANKRUPTCY (Financial Post) If a corporation bought butter at 64c 1b, stored it at great expense, then con- verted it into butter oil and sold this &t 25c 1b, it is plain that bankruptcy would be certain and prompt. This is what the federal government is doing, The arrival of margarine at half the price of butter has, within a decade, cut the consumption of butter from around 50 Ib. per Canadian per year to less than 20 Ib. per capita. Price supports have produced a moun- tain of butter in government storage-- 119 million Ib.: -- every ounce of it financed by the long-suffering taxpayer. PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- To many Cana- dians the news has come as an unexpected bombshell that Brit- ain really hopes to join the Com- mon market and may thus break up the Commonwealth. The European Economic Com- munity, generally known as the Common Market, was created by the Treaty of Rome, signed as long ago as March 25, 1957 by France, West Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and Luzemburg. By January 1, 1959 those nations were ready to take the first step to weld them- selves into a homogeneous eco- nomic unit. Over a transition period of 15 years or less, they will eliminate all tariffs and other barriers to trade among themselves, and will adopt a common external tariff against the rest of the world. This has been criticised in some circles as a discrimina- tory step against other coun- tries. If Britain were to join too, says the perhaps superficial argument, that would be a step unfriendly to Canada PARTIES AGREE The former Liberal govern- ment and the present Conserva- tive government have both taken the view that the "status quo" is the most satisfactory basis for Canada's trade. But there is an- other side to this question, and many prominent businessmen and politicians of all parties now share the viewpoint, long advo- cated by some Canadians, that our best hope of future prosper- ity and security lies inside some such supranational trading unit. The elimination of all tariffs between the member nations of the Common Market is no more than the 13 former British colo- nies did when they formed themselves into the United States of America some 175 years 'ago. And what unexcelled prosperity that "common mar- ket" has achieved for its citi- zens More significant, but often overlooked, are the many bene- fits offered by the Treaty of Rome to the citizens of the Com- mon Market countries. There will be measures to improve liv- ing and working conditions, and to equalize such conditions within the community at in- creasingly high levels. These in- clude specifically the payment of equal wages to men and women for equal work; freedom for any worker to apply for and accept a job anywhere within the com- munity, and to settle his family permanently at that location; making social security benefits fully cumulative, and portable; permitting the free movement of capital. And perhaps most signi- ficant of ail, creating the Euro- pean Social Fund to provide for the retraining and resettlement of workers, and their compensa- tion whilst temporarily unem- ployed; this is to protect those workers harmed by the new cir- cumstances, such as their plant being converted to other produc. tion deemed more competitive. NEW GIANT BORN Suppose that Britain's applica- tion for admission to the Com- mon Market is accepted by the present six members. There will then be in the making a third huge industrial unit in the world numbering game 215,000,000 citi- zens and located between the similar units represented by 180,000,000 citizens of U.S.A. and 200,000,000 in Russia. The value of its total trade, in exports and imports with the rest of the world, is already 20 per cent higher than U.S. A's foreign trade, and of course much higher than Russia's. But its gross product, measured by the questionable yardstick of cur- rency exchange rates, is only half that of U.S.A. By any stand- ard the European Economic Community will be a third great power, in population, in indus- trial strength, and hence in mil- itary potential. As its standard of living now lags materially be- hind that in North America, it will have the exciting and lucra- tive prospect of producing the goods and gadgets to catch up in this respect over the next two decades. To give readers some of the background te the historic changes now pending, this col- umn will outline some of the ef- fect which the Common Market might have on Canada as an outsider, and on the workers who live in countries which join it BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO George Thompson was elect- ed president of the newly- organized Oshawa and District Flute Band Association. Carlson Cycle Wheel Goods Ltd., a new industry, located in the former Williams Piano Co. building. William A. Dryden of Brook- lin was appointed general man- ager of the Royal Winter Fair. D. B. Coleman of Welland was appointed County Judge for the County of Ontario. R. H. Lockwood, superinten- dent of the Gibbon Street Mis- sion Sunday School, presided at a special service when Miss Joan Wilkins unveiled a me- morial portrait in honor of the founder of the mission, the late Henry Wilkins _ Mayor John Stacey and Al GALLUP POLL Public Still on the Senate when it gave James Coyne, Governor of the Bank of Canada, a chance to tell his story, help the public to a better understanding of its functions? It did not. The pub- lic remains just as confused as it was in 1951 as to what the Senate does, with only about 4 in 10 able to hazard a guess which can be termed "inform- ed." Has the Senate's work over the past decade improved its image in the voter's eye? Per haps, but not much. In 1951, 5 in 10 could term its work "satis- factory" while 3 in 10 said it was "unsatisfactory." Today the ratio is just about the same. derman F. O. Kirby were ap- pointed as delegates to attend the provincial convention of Unemployed Associations. At the Oshawa Tennis Club final tournaments, Miss Doreen Dobbie and Jim Drummond captured the mixed doubles, and Mrs. Harold Brain and Charles Eder won the consola- tion tournament." Ted Marks won the men's singles final. William Pile, who had re- cently celebrated his 94th birthday, had missed only one year in attending the South Ontario Agricultural Fair, for the past 84 years. The Oshawa Cricket Club concluded the season with a victory over Scarboro at Lakeview Park. Top scorers for the locals were J. Fuller, B. Hatfield, G. Mann and A. Sargant. Confused Bbout Senate Functions By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Did the spotlight which blazed To see whether the national uproar over the Coyne-Fleming controversy had done anything to alter popular status of the Senate, the Gallup Poll - check- ed again on a trend question put to the public in 1951. "AS YOU KNOW THE CA- NADIAN GOVERNMENT IN- CLUDES THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AND THE SEN- ATE. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE MAIN JOB OF THE SENATE?" In the previous study, giving the most generous allowance for a satisfactory definition, only 40 per cent of the public could describe the Senate's function. Today, on the same basis, 41 per cent can find some de- scription for it. Here's the way the public figures out what the Senate does: Approves bills, makes sure the bills are good for the 14% Has the final say; final passing of all bills ...... 11 Rules House of Commons; keeps them in line; a coun- ter-balance ...... Watch-dogs over the laws; checks legislation; ratifies laws ...... Honorary position: "just "signs "bills . Does not do much Other (all wrong) . Don't know ;no opinion Those who could hazard some opinion, right or wrong, were asked: "DO YOU THINK THE SEN- ATE IS DOING THIS JOB SATISFACTORILY OR NOT Satisfactory Not satisfactory No opinion Voters gave many terse de- scriptions of the Senator's role such as: "It's an Old Man's Home filled with a bunch of de- feated politicians." "All old fel- lows, getting a good salary and doing very little. "Most of them absent." "Only a joke." "A SATISFACTORILY?" A comparison with 1951 shows that the men and women with no opinion has dwindled but attitudes have not changed much. 1951 TODAY 50% 55% 30 32 20 13 100% 100% place to keep old gentlemen off the streets." On the other hand a number referred to the importance of the Senate as "A watch-dog to prevent passing of any rash legislation."
