' 4 She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1965--PAGE 4 Controversial Issues Raised By U.S. President President Lyndon B. Johnson, in his State of the Union message to Congress, included two brief pass- ages which seem to have escaped much notice in the initial studies of his speech, but which are now arousing great attention as their full impact is being realized. These deal with two subjects which are live and controversial issues, which might well bring the president into conflict with the. Roman Catholic Church on the first, and with the segregationists in the south on the second, Declaring that he would seek ways to use modern knowledge to help deal with the explosion in world population, President Johnson in that phrase broke into a question involving the traditional principle of the Roman Catholic Church. In effect, he gave sanction of the United States president to govern- ment promotion of birth-control practices to curb the massive growth of world population. The signific- ance of this lies in the fact that this is the first time that a United States president has taken. a de- finite stand on this subject, On the second question, Presie dent Johnson declared that-he pro- posed that every remaining obstacle to the right and opportunity to vote be eliminated. This has been interpreted to mean that he will propose the abolition of the literacy tests imposed in 19 states as @ means of barring negroes from the polling booths. The president. will have a formidable task in putting this proposal into legislative effect, as the states involved will probably fight it with every means at their disposal. President Johnson, with his own position secure, and with substan- tial majorities for his own party in both houses of Congress, may feel on safe ground in bringing forward these revolutionary proposals. But they are issues on which party lines, for religious and state reasons, may well be thrown over- board. And under the United States system, there is a hard row to hoe between the making of a presiden- tial proposal, and the enactment of that proposal' into effective legis- lation, Auto Industry Hopeful E. H. Walker, president and gen- eral manager of General Motors of Canada, Limited, looks forward to ea year of increased production in the Canadian automobile industry in 1965. In fact, in a prepared state- ment, Mr. Walker said that the real possibility now exists of steady growth through the remainder of the decade, and that this will raise annual market requirements to 850,000 motor vehicles. Production in the year 1964 reached a total of 668,222 cars and trucks, compared with 633,000 in 1963, Discussing the outlook for 1965, Mr. Walker said: "Against the present background of a vigorous economy, the Cana- dian automobile industry looks for- ward to a continuation of the re- cord-breaking levels of production and sales for both cars and trucks achieved in 1964. The continued demand for new vehicles reflects undiminished consumer confidence and spending on durable goods, a higher level. of national. employ- ment, steadily-increasing personal savings deposits, readily available credit sources for business and con- sumer spending at relatively steady low-interest rates." With the possibility of labor troubles removed by the recent sign- ing of a three-year agreement by General Motors and its employees' union, and with large-scale new production facilities coming into operation in Oshawa and elsewhere, there can be every hope that 1965 will bear out Mr. Walker's fore- casts, and be another record one for Oshawa's major industry. The only unknown factor is the possible effect of an automobile and parts free trade agreement be- tween' Canada and the United States, now the subject of discus- sions at government levels. What this effect might be, however can- not be established until the details of this proposed agreement are made known. a Indonesia Leaves UNO The decision of President Su- karno of Indonesia to have his country walk out of the United Nations in a moment of pique at the election of Malaysia to a seat on the Security Council, should not cause too much alarm within the organization. In withdrawing from the UNO, although there is no provision in the charter whereby any nation' can withdraw once it has become a member, Indonesia has done no harm to the organiza- tion. On the contrary, it has shown that it is not really fit to have the status of membership by withdraw- ing just because it could not have its own way on a matter regard- ing which it disagreed with the majority. The withdrawal of Indonesia has, quite understandably, _ produced grave misgivings on the part of Malaysia which has, ever since its formation as an independent na- The Oshawa Tones T. L.

That would create a serious situation for the Malaysian government. Should such an attack be made, Malaysia, Britain, Australia and New Zealand stand ready to give strong military support. Canada might well be involved to the ex- tent of supplying military equip- ment, That, however, is not enough. In the event of an Indonesian at- tack on Malaysia it is the plain and obvious duty of the United Nations as a whole to lend assis- tance in repelling this wanton act of aggression. So far, Sukarno has been. given the help of the United Nations in taking over former Dutch territories and joining them with Indonesia. But the United Nations could not stand by and see this renegade country try to gobble up or crush Malaysia, If it tries to do so, there is a firm responsibility on the organization to ensure that such an attempt does not succeed.

Tuesday Ladies' Bridge and Slander Club, - OPINION POLL MISSILE TOE Majority Say Newspaper Is "Doing Good Job" The daily newspaper is "doing a good job" in the opinion of the majority of Canadians, ac- cording to a survey made by the CTV Television Network's public affairs program, Tele- poll. Following the examination of Canadian newspapers on Tele- poll last weekend, the program's weekly survey of more than 1,000 Canadians found that two- thirds, 66.8 per cent, think their paper reports the news fairly and accurately. Some 28 per cent said their's did not. More Russian Contacts Building of bridges between the free world and the Com- munist world has been advo- cated by U.S. Senator J. W. Fullbright, chairman of the Senate foreign relations com- mittee. It would be. a modest and limited enterprise, and in no sense should it be regarded as a harbinger of general recon- ciliation between East and West. Such a reconciliation is unlikely to happen in our lifetime, sim- ply because the differences are too great to be eliminated by any process more rapid than the evolution of history. The building of bridges, said the Senator, means _ nothing more than the opening of nor- mal contacts and communica- tions across a chasm of mis- understanding. The key assumption of a policy of building bridges to the Communist world is that the Communist countries are sus- ceptible to external influence and to internal change. The Communist bloc at present pres- ents the world with a pano- rama of change proceeding at a widely varying rate, a situation presenting to the West oppor- tunities to favorably influence events in the Communist world to Western security and inter- ests. Whether the ideological and national animosities of our own time will erode away in the decades and centuries ahead only time will tell. But there is belief that the lessons of the past offer grounds for hope that they will, if only we let them, What is called for is a sense of historical perspective of meet- ing the crises and tensions of the moment -- a_ perspective from which we will perceive that the doctrines and the causes that arouse men to vio- lence are transitory, that mare often than not they fade into irrelevance with the erosion of time and circumstances, Only from such a perspective can we hope to build bridges that will stand -- bridges that will bring a divided world together in a reawakened awareness of its common humanity, in. a_re- awakened understanding that the common hopes, common in- terests .and common dangers that unite men are far more important than the ideologies that divide them. : --St. Catharines Standard BIBLE "And if a man will at all redeem aught of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof."'

WASHINGTON CALLING -- Common Mart For Autos By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special)--The Proposed "Canadian-U.S. Com- mon Market" in automobiles could mean not only cheaper cars for Canadians but a new era in trade relations between - the two countries. Whether it succeeds or fails it is the most significant de- velopment in U.S. - Canadian affairs for the past couple of years. Canadian manufacturing in- dustry has long been dominated by U.S. subsidiary companies which manufacture or assemble their products in Canada, thus providing Canadian jobs and Canadian revenue, largely be- cause Canadian tariffs make it uneconomical to bring in the American-made article, This is fine for the producer but hard on the consumer; as the Canadian product usually costs more. The auto deal now being work- ed out between Ottawa and Washington would transform one industry and certainly affect others. ABOLISH TARIFFS The idea is to abolish tariffs on finished cars and parts on both sides of the border, Cana- dian duty on imported U.S. cars is 17.5 per cent and 8.5 per cent on parts. Nobody in his senses imports a standard U.S.-type car from Canada to the United States as prices are so much lower here, If you could bring a new U.S. car into Canada duty-free you would save hundreds of dollars but you'd put several men. out of work in Windsor, Oakville or Oshawa, Ontario. The "common _ market" scheme is an attempt to pre- serve the Canadian industry while eliminating tariffs. At present Canada buys about $500 million worth more cars and parts from the United States than vice versa. Ottawa hopes this deficit can be reduced by free trade, But the free trade can only begin if the Big Four American car- makers agree to manufacture a certain percentage of their wares in Canada, The Big Four see problems here but are intrigued by the idea of selling more cars in Can- ada. The number of cars per family is lower in Canada than in the U.S. and the Big Four think lower prices will correct this. UNIONS DIFFER ; They are also attracted by the lower Canadian wages which should enable them to make YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Jan. 11, 1950. Dr. H. Bascom, sheriff of Ontario County, was re-elected president of the County Clerks' Association for his 13th term. East Whitby Township fire loss was $9,083. in last six months of 1949, F. T. Kamble retired after 30 years in business here, 30 YEARS AGO Jan. 11, 1935, The nine Orange Lodges of Oshawa announced that an Orange Temple would be built on Brute street. It was expected that work would begin in March. Ben Jacklin was elected presi- dent of the Oshawa Branch 43, Canadian Legion. Two veteran GMC employees were honored at a_ banquet. John Gibson had completed 50 years with the company and its predecessor and Alex (Sandy) Brown had completed 35 years. MAC'S MUSINGS In the bygone days of The town of Oshawa it Used to be the regular Custom for the members Of the town council and The other elected bodies, Along with city officials To attend church service In a body at the beginning Of each year, and that Was considered the right Way to start the year. These civic church services Were impressive occasions, With all the members of The elected bodies and The town officials marching In a parade to church and Thus setting a fine example To their fellow-citizens. With the passing of the Years habits and. customs Have changed greatly, and In some instances the Changes have not been For the better, and one Of the customs that was Worth preserving was that Of the annual civic Church parade and service Which constituted a form Of dedication of the town To the purposes of God. Why this custom was ended We have no idea, but We do feel that it is One worth reviving, even If only to reiterate the Belief of our municipal Bodies that they do. need The guidance of God in Carrying out their tasks, . --Jan. 11, 1965 certain models or certain parts more cheaply in Canada and ship them back to the United States. The United Auto Work- ers union sees things differently and wants U.S. pay for Cana- dian workers. The American and Canadian governments are prepared to try the "common market" idea. The first step towards wiping out tariffs is expected on Friday (Jan. 15) when Mr. Pearson meets President Johnson in Washington. But the success of the ar- rangement depends on the auto- makers. If they don't keep Canadians employed the deal will be off and the tariffs re- stored. Because there's no point in buying a cheap car if you don't have a job. RIGHTS FIGHT OVER The new U.S. Congress came out fighting last week. Both parties had. their-squabbles and, as they say here, there was blood on the floor, Some of it belonged to Con- gressman Charles Halleck of In- diana, the sober conservative leader of the House Republicans who was turfed out and replaced by another sober conservative, Congressman Gerald Ford of Michigan. Mr, Halleck had done no ac- tual wrong. But he was too closely associated with the Goldwater debacle that had crippled the party. Goldwater cannot be deprived of his posi- tion as titular party leader (which means very little) so they removed Halleck instead, Meanwhile the Democrats were punishing two of their Congressman southerners who supported Goldwater during the election campaign. They were shorn of their party seniority in Congress. This may sound trivial to Canadians whose MPs can spend a lifetime in Ottawa without ever amounting to any- thing. But the U.S. Congress dotes on seniority; only by being around for a Jong time can a Congressman or Senator achieve the -important committee) jobs which mean real power. The South made a comback in the Senate when Senator Russell Long of Louisiana was chosen to replace Hubert Humphrey as assistant leader of the Demo- crats. Long, 46, is the son of the late Huey (Kingfish) Long, dic- tator of Louisiana who was as- sassinated in the 1930s. The fact that a deep-South . Senator could attain such rank shows that the civil rights fight is over, possibly for.years, and the Democrats, north and south, want to reunite their party. As one of Long's friends said "it shows the Civil War is over at last."

FRANK DOWSETT Director, OTHER OPINIONS PLANNED AFFAIR ; Some of the more awkward marvels of a thoroughly planned economy are showing up to dis- may the Russians, The most recént example is the story of the sewing machines, as blushingly unveil- ed in Pravda, the Communist Party newspaper. A few years ago there was & great demand in Russia for sew- ing machines and too few of them to go around. A massive production program was launch- ed and soon the demand was met. However, while Russian planners are able to get pro- grams going, stopping them is something else again. There are now 1,500,000 sewing machines stockpiled in Russia and the production pro- gram is still going full blast, The producers are afraid to quit, Vancouver Province MR. CHIPS AND TEACHING Mr. Chips would probably take a dim view of complaints from some teachers that their contract fails. to protect them against demands on their time outside the classroom. He would certainly disapprove of the suggestion that the duties of teachers should be exhaust- ively defined in their contracts. The teachers in James Hil- ton's book, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, was a professional who loved his work with his pupils, what- ever that work might be and no matter the time required for it. His. devotion won him respect and affection. Toronto Telegram N. York Reeve Has New By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--James Service is an aggressive and highly am- bitious young Toronto lawyer who is the newly-elected reeve of North York, a suburban municipality which is larger than most of the cities in the province. Mr. Service who won his election in a bitter fight, with accusations of impropriety and threats of law-suits, probably will turn out to be one of the most newsworthy municipal pol- iticians in the province. He gives the impression that next to looking in a mirror nothing pleases him more than seeing his name in print. And he has the flair for getting it there. - In his very first act in office, his inaugral speech, he demon- strated this once again. WILL WATCH He said that the municipality would appoint a 'watchdog committee". Five citizens of "unimpeachable integrity and high moral values" would be appointed to keep an eye. on council and -be the "ears, eyes and nose" of its public con- science. The committee. would act, he said, until the council could draft a "satisfactory code of ethics",- The practicalities of this vigi- lante approach to government, even if only temporary, can ex- cite the imagination. : Obviously if there must be citizens of "unimpeachable in- tegrity and high moral values" to. watch over members of council, who presumably are citizens of "unimpeachable in- tegrity and high moral values" there must be further citizens of "unimpeachable integrity and high moral values" to watch over the committee of citi- zens of '"'unimpeachable integ- rity and high moral values" and so on ad infinitum.

The writer has a belief that politicians need a set of rules, Aside from the very rare ex- ception men in public life are not venal or improper men, They will do what should be done, if they know what this: is. The border-line between pro- priety and impropriety is very close,- and often very contro- versial, A bold:attempt by one munici- pality to draw up a real code of ethics could eventually lead to some practical general code --or set of rules--being arrived at. Everybody would welcome this. In the meantime keep Mr, Service in mind. We will hear more of him, the golden goodness JORDAN BRANVIN Sherry CHILL IF DESIRED free home delivery phone Jordan Wines.
