'She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1964--PAGE 6 Cyprus Forces Must Have Greater Powers An agreement-has been reached to extend the mandate of the United Nations' force in Cyprus for another three months. But at the same time, efforts to strengthen the terms on , which that force is allowed to act 'as a peacekeeping body in Cyprus 'have failed. So, from now until ' Christmas, and possibly later,. the.. Cyprus United Nations' force, which 'includes over 1100 officers and men 'from Canada, will be faced with a difficult task, without having the powers necessary to enable it to act 'swiftly and effectively. to curb terrorism and prevent bloodshed. A persual of the pages of Han- sard for the few months reveals that Canada's External Affairs Minister, Paul Martin, has been pressing for a clear definition of the powers of the United Nations commander and his troops. in Cyprus. In these efforts he has met with stubborn resistance from the United Nations Security Council and its secretary-general, U Thant, who seemed to be more concerned about keeping in the good graces of Archbishop Makarios than in keeping the rival Greek and Turkish Cypriot factions from getting at each other's throats. That does not mean that the United Nations force has entirely failed in the object for which it was formed, Its presence in Cyprus, in spite of the restrictions placed upon it, has in all probability pre- vented the situation there from reaching one of open warfare be- tween Greece and Turkey. But so far as keeping absolute law and order in Cyprus is concerned, and preventing outbreaks of violence are concerned, the force has had its hands tied behind its back. U Thant has indicated that he intends to have the force in Cyprus assume more definite powers now that it is to remain there for another three months. We are not very hopeful that he will have much success in this, so long as Arch- bishop Makarios remains master of the situation: Should it come to a test of strength between U Thant * and Makarios, the old archbishop is likely to have his own way. Medical Research Lags Question and answer period in the House of Commons the other day brought to the fore the possibi- lity that a much-needed expansion in Canada's program of medical research is likely to be long de- layed. Health and Welfare Minister Judy LaMarsh, in reply to a ques- tion from a Quebec member who stressed the unsatisfactory state of medical research in Canada, held out hope that any policy for speedy remedies to this situation is now contemplated by the government. Miss LaMarsh explained that it was not just a question of providing sufficient money, but that medical research had to be considered in relation to other aspects of the medical situation. While Miss LaMarsh did not say so in plain words, her statement implied that a progressive policy of medical research would have to wait until the government is ready to announce its policy on. a medical plan along the-lines of the recom- . mendations of the Hall Commission Report. From past experience of such matters, this is likely to mean Contest For The Manitoba. Design Institute, a government-sponsored agency, is venturing into a field of activity in which there is wide scope for ac- tion on the part of many who could profit from what the Institute has adopted as its concern. Finding from_a_survey that most of the Canadian souvenirs -- so called -- sold in this country are made either in the United States, Japan or some European country, the institute is to launch a national souvenir de- sign contest in which it will offer $6000 in prize money. The need for this is very ap- parent to those who have toured extensively in this country and have sought to acquire distinctive souvenirs of the areas and provinces which they have visited.

It is quite true that medical re- search is closely related to any na- tional health plan that might be devised. Nevertheless, the impor- tance of such-research.is such that it should not be held back until such time as the medicare plan has been produced. It is essential, for the future of Canada's medical services, that the very best of research facilities should be established and main- tained. The Medical Research Coun- cil is handicapped through lack of adequate funds, and this has been accentuated by the fact that some United States funds, formerly avail- able, have been made unavailable for Canadian medical research. Therefore, the government should at least make some provision for adequate research facilities in ad- vance of the establishment of a medicare plan. The importance of advances medical research will be intensified a hundred-fold once a national health plan comes into effect. Souvenirs often they have found that articles which seemed to be typically Cana- dian bear the imprint of a foreign country in which they have been manufactured. Surely there are manufacturing firms in this country with suffi- cient enterprise and- initiative to seize the opportunities which pre- vail for the development of typic- ally Canadian souvenirs made in this country and bearing the "Made in Canada" seal. But as a matter of fact the Institute is holding its com- petition because it feels Canadian firms are not showing enough in- terest in developing this country's very lucrative.souvenir business. If the United States, Japan, Cecho- slovakia and other countries find it worth while to produce souvenirs for the Canadian market, it would seem logically that Canadians should show a more vital interest in that market. Manitoba is to be congratulated on taking the lead in this project. But it is a matter of too much im- portance to be confined' to a single province. It could mean the creation and maintenance of profitable new industries if it were taken up seriously on a national scale, Bible Thought "The spirit of God hath made me and the breath of the almighty hath given me life."

Fredericton Gleanér: Prime Minister Pearson has a fearful responsibility, He is gambling with the life of the Queen, for he is the one man who can can- cel her visit. He cannot control the terrorists; no one can to the extent that it may be said: "We are now rid of them; there is no danger." Mir. Peanson's re- sponsibility is both a personal and a public one. He should take the decision now to leaye the Queen in England. To do so would be to earn the praise of all Canadians.--Sept. 8. Saint John Telegraph-Journal: The royal visit has pecome a challenge and a test to extrem- ist malcontents. The Queen should not be asked to run such risks. Even if nothing happened, it would not be worth while to keep the entire country in ten- terhooks for the whole time she was here, fearing for her very life. It is time to swallow pride and embrace wisdom; the Queen should not visit Quebeg. --Sept. 10. Granby La Voix de l'Est: There seems to be considerable exaggeration regarding the se- curity measures taken by au- thorities to protect Queen Eliz- abeth during her stay in Que- bec. . . . Why would there be any fear about the population of Quebec? It customarily re- ceives visitors properly and there is nothing to indicate that it would be hogtilé to the Queen. . Those who exaggerate the danger to which she may be exposed do so with the aim of harming Quebec, After all, we are not savages and assassins. --Sept. 17 Montreal Le Devoir: The visit of the Queen can be used in the current debates (about the fu- ture of. Confederation and Que- fall into that trap. thing to happen would be that the visit go off calmly and cor- rectly, but without too much noise, eagerness or popular en- thusiasm. For if we are too kind, there will be good evi- dence that we have become sat- isfied with our lot.--Sept. 17. Montreal Gazette: The great mass of the peaple of Quebec will not countenance such ac- tions (demonstrations against thé visit), because they would be a distortion of Quebec's own spir™. This is not to say that a courteous welcome to the Queen would mean that Quebec's dis- satisfaction with Confederation under its present terms has been allayed, or that Quebec believes that such a tour at this particular time is opportune. But the courtesy will mean that Quebec is determined to pro- ceed towards its aim by meth- ods that will command the re- spect of others, by also being compatible with Quebec's own self-respect. Insults of a woman are self-degregation. To cancel the tour at this late date would not only be resented in the rest: of Canada, it would be an insult to Quebec above all.--Sept. 21. Montreal Star: Those who suggest, whether in this country or abroad, that the visit should be cancelled, are asking Mr. Pearson and My. Lesage to bow to the tyranny of the minority, but the majority also has rights, and these are entitled to respect. . No- society cam survive which allows itself to be black- mailed by fear into altering a perfectly proper course of ac- tion. Precautions must and have been taken. The lunatic and maicontent are not peculiar to this province. He or she exists in every community, but that fact does not justify a single change in the arrangements which have been made.--Sept. 19. Quebec Le Soleil: Considering the facts that now are public (about precautions for the Queen's safety), one must con- clude that the authorities beiieve every Quebecer is an armed ter- rorist just itching for the chance to open fire on the Queen or to fling a bomb at the armored car in which she will make her rare appearance in the streets of Quebec City and on the way to the airport. The Quebec people feel collec. tively humiliated by the attitude of the authorities: They are morally certain that all this de- ployment of forces is useless and blow out of all proportion a sit- uation causes by the presence of a few hot-heads. Decisions of this kind will not help to resolve misunderstandings or to rein- force Canadian unity.--Sept. 12. Sherbrooke Record: Police au- thorities at all levels will, we are convinced, leave no stone unturned to ensure the Queen's personal safety. But they can- not give absolute guarantees. Of necessity, the matter of the Queen's safety is something of a gamble. Is it worth taking in Quebec?--Sept. 9. Trois-Rivieres le Nouvelliste: . Even if there is no hysteria, even if-it is proper to keep cool and to work quietly for the dis- arming of the imresponsible ele- ments rather than give them the publicity they want, there would still be time to cancel the Queen's visit, This would be a much better guarantee and much more appropriate than would be armored cars like thé one now, it seems, under con- sideration.--Sept. 12. Quebec Chronicle - Telegraph: The real danger in all -this thoughtless, ill - informed and often recklessly irresponsible speculation going on about the safety of the Queen when she comes to. Quebéc iis in the effect it will have upon relations across:the language line . . . The time has come to: call a halt to this tendentiious talk. The Queen will be safe in Que- bec City--as safe as she is on the grounds of Buckingham Pal- ace at a post-investiture party, --Sept. 17. Quebee l'Action: The Queen cannot stay home any more than Geieiral de Gaulle can 'stay in his palace instead of mixing with the French crowds which are not always reliable. These are the risks of the job... . The young people who have promised themselves a _ fine nigh out by protesting the visit of the Queen show their ignor- ance of history. They comprom- ise their sepamatist cause by thinking if, in the eyes of nearly all our population, with an his- toric error, In French Canada the Crown is not the "symbol of colonial- ism."' It is the symbol of .an emancipation that has continued to meve forward. Let the Queen have confidence in our people. They know that yesterday's his- tory was necessary to prepare tomorrow's history.--Sept. 14. Barrie Examiner: It would be ridiculous to cancel the visit as a result of threats by a few. fa- natics in Quebec. The vast ma- jority of the people of La Belle Province are sane, sensible sub- jects who will evince their wel- come as heartily as the govern- ment-conscious residents of Ot- tawa,--Sept. 19, London Free Press: If Queen Elizabeth can safely visit so new a nation as Ghana, we can surely assume that Her Majesty can spend a few days in Canada without undertaking any undue risk to her person... If she had camcelled those long- laid plans, it would have been a cheap victory for Quebec's luna- tic fringe and a disgrace the whole country would be a long time living down.--Sept. 8. North Bay Nugget: Demon- strations. against an invited guest would be in the utmost of bad taste and an attempt on her life would be a blot on Quebec which it would never live down. We are hopeful that the better judgment of the majority of per- sons living in Quebec will pre- vail and that their innate sense of decency and courtesy will make the Queen's visit a pleas- Sg one in every respect.--Sept. Orillia Packet and Times: Let us show ourselves to the world as the bright young country that we are, a nation where modera- tion and good manners prevail even in the working out nal our most fundamental relati oS: Let us welcome this charming Queen into our midst and make her: visit among us a bright and happy memory she willl cherish always!--Sept. 14. Red Deer Advocate: ... If the RCMP find that there is 200d -- for believing that a stupid attack is contem- plated, it would be pointless to expose the Queen to such a risk. Either the visit should be can- celled altogether, or the Que- bec part of the itinerary should be removed until such time as a royal guest cam expect proper treatment from a host province. --Sept. 12. Saskatoon Star-Phoenix: It is essential that not only must the Queen be protected, but that no hothead must appear for identi- fication as_a_would-be-assassin, Surely even a hothead can real- ize that 'if an atbempt were made to end the life of the young and popular Queen, such a reaction would occur in Can- ada, including French-speaking Canada, that the 'cause' of separatism would be .killed for time untold.--Sept.. 17. Toronto Globe and Mail: For obscure reasons of their own, some newspapers wish to per- suade the world that Canada is in such a state of anarchy that the Queen may no longer set foot here. By constant. repeti- tion of their propaganda, they may possibly create something of the situation they pretend to cal yl is certain that they woul ve a dangerous situa- tion on their hands if Mr. Pear- son paid attention to their bad advice.--Sept. 21. Toronto Star: At this late date, we believe, the only proper course is to go ahead with the tour as planned . . . subject to one caveat, If the government has solid evidence of a genuine conspiracy against the Queen-- as distinct from noisy threats-- and if it has any doubts about its ability to ensure her safety, it should have no hesitation in calling off the visit even now. It would be better to accept the bumilitation involved than to run any real risk of a repetition of last oa tragedy at Daillas.-- Sept. 1 Toronto Telegram: Postpone- ment of the Queen's visit to Can- ada has been termed by some as unthinkable. It is mot and should not be unthinkable so long as there is one chance in 19 million that harm could come to her.--Sept, 19, By M. McINTYRE HOOD The British general election campaign is more than usually fascinating because of the fact that the government has moved out of a defensive position and is very much on the attack on what it considers to be the para- mount issues to be decided. The election platform of the Con- servative party picks on two The bite is in the tail of the prime minister's statement. He says of the Labor opposition de- fence policy "Nuclear abdica- tion is the only policy on which they can unite."' There is a good deal of truth in that assertion for Labor's ranks are so di- vided between left, centre and right on defence policy, and on nuclear weapons, that no clear- cut platform has yet emerged. major subjects for special at- tention, On these it exposes the Mother Hubbard barrenness of the Labor cupboard, because they are subjects on which the Labor party is maintaining what is almost a complete silence. These two subjects, on which Labor leaders know that they are highly vulnerable, are de- fence and maintenance of Brit- ain's nuclear deterrent, and the avowed Labor party program for nationalization of broad sec- tors of British industry. MUST HAVE DETERRENT The government's policy is quite clear-cut. It declares with- out any equivocation that Brit- ain must have its own inde- pendently - controlled nuclear power to deter an aggressor, "'We possess that power today" says the party statement. "Only under a Conservative govern- ment will we possess it in fu- ture." That is a strong statement, but it is entirely justified by the position which has been taken by the Labor party, Its policy would denude Britain's defences of all nuclear weapons, and rely on building up -conven- tional forces and armaments. To all but its Labor propon- ents, such a policy is pulled right out of the pre-war text books. It fails to take into ac- count the nuclear power which has been built. up by Russia and the United States since 1945, and the plain fact that Brit- ain's only hope for avoiding de- struction in a nuclear conflict is to have sufficient powers of retaliation to deter any ag- gressor from making the first antagonistic move. PREMIER'S VIEWPOINT Prime Minister Douglas-Home puts the government position very clearly in these words: "In a world as dangerous as that in which we live, it can make no sense whatever for Britain unilaterally to discard her strength: We therefore re- ject the idea of giving up our nuclear arm. We adopt instead a balanced policy of strength and conciliation; strength to be used to stop wars before they start; conciliation to reach areas of agreement with the Soviet Union and the Communist world which will replace tension and potential conflict." BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Sept. 29, 1944 Rev. Gordon W. Gardner, for- mer pastor.of Brechin United Church, was inducted as minis- of the Columbus-Kedron charge. Announcement was made that Tt. John A. Sheriff of Oshawa was decorated with the Mili- tary Cross for gallantry on the field of. battle. Almonds United Church ob- served its 100th aniversary with Rev. Martin Jenkinsion, of Pickering, conducting the serv- ice. History records si that the late James Almond, after whom the church was named, built it about the year 1838. The city disposed of 139 lots during the year. Sales returns from this property was $34,935, while the assessment value was $50,140. Buildings valued at $345,000 were enected upon the . lots. m : Fourteen onganizations launch- ed a paper drive which netted the Oshawa Salvage Board about 50 tons. Jack LL.

McEwen to the Board of Education showed a grand total of $74, 380 sub- scribed to date. Among the 97 pensons giving weekly donations at the Oshawa Blood Clinic, H. Mel Smith, A. S. Clark C. T.

From the 15 lofts competing that of I. Piper won the com- petition. ON NATIONALIZATION The other vulnerable point in the Labor campaign is the un- certainty which exists regarding the extent to which it is com- mitted on nationalization of business and industry in Brit- ain. On this issue, the left and right wings of the patty are as far apart as the poles, and Har- old Wilson stands squarely in the middle, leaving the subject very much alone. Most of the pontificating on nationalization has been done by his deputy, George Brown. Britain's experiences with na- tionalization have been a ra- ther mixed bag. Electricity and gas have done well under na- tionalization, and have operat- ed profitably. Railway opera- tion, however, has been a sham- bles, toting up huge deficits and a declining service to the public. It is cited as one instance in which nationalization has failed. While conditions in the coal in- dustry are improving, its record of deficits under national owner- ship has been a dismal one, And it is on the failures in the rail- QUEEN'S PARK Committee Off way and coal sectors that pub- lie ows has been concen- trated. STEEL KEY INDUSTRY So far as it has been stated in public, Labor intends to re- --, the steel industry, . tive definition of what that clause means. The man who came closest to doing it was the late Hugh Gaitsklel, and he is now no more, Naturally, the Conservatives are hammering away at. Labor on the issue of nationalization, and demanding a clear-cut state- ment on what will be national- ized and what will remain under private enterprise. But even Harold Wilson himself cannot give a clear-cut answer, because no matter what his answer might be, it will arouse the ire of one or another of the diver- gent sections within his own party. It may be that the emphasis being placed by the Tories on these two issues is responsible for the trend back to that party in recent weeks. And it may be that the public will attach suffi- cient importance to them to en- able the Conservatives to squeeze back into power again by a narrow majority.

Also that most committees do also usually go to New York. But why always California? Why not South Dakota or Ten- essee? It couldn't be Disneyland? TEMPLETON HELP? There has been much talk about the help that Charles Templeton will give the Liberal party in the future.
