She Oshawa Tin \ 8 Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ; T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1965--PAGE 4 Ontario IODE Members Loyal To Traditions Members of the two Oshawa chapters of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire will doubtless give unanimous approval to the decision of the Ontario Pro- vincial Chapter meeting in Hamil- 'ton to retain that name for the ~order. Even although what we used to know as the British Empire has now been largely merged into the Commonwealth by the granting of freedom to many of its colonies, one can fully understand and appreciate the motives which prompted the Ontario IODE delegate to stand by their time-honored traditions and retain the old name. The IODE was one of the or- ganizations which strongly opposed the adoption of the red maple leaf flag in place of the red ensign or Union Jack. The flag decision having been made by parliament and approved by the Queen's pro- clamation, the IODE leaders loyally accepted that decision. But for the Ontario members, at least, changing the name of their organization was another matter. The name, Daughters of the Km- pire, stands for something in nearly every town and city in Canada.:And simply because the world is chang- ing, and colonies are becoming self- governing. nations, they see no reason why some _ new-fangled name, which would not truly ex- press the patriotism, the traditions and the British background of the order, should be adopted. Although the Empire has dwind- led in extent as the Commonwealth has grown, the IODE has continued to expand in membership, in influ- ence and in service to the country, Perhaps there may be nothing much in a name, but we are glad to see that the Ontario members of the IODE, who have built it to the organization it is today, have enough pride in the old name to be deter- mined to retain it. Taxes May Hurt Quebec The social revolution which has been going on in the province of Quebec, and the heavy government expenditures which are now neces- sary to finance the industrial deve- lopment which is going on there, are reflected jn the Quebec govern- ment's budget. Because of the fact that for too long a period Quebec lagged behind other provinces in development, it now finds itself committed to extraordinary expen- dituzesAT n effort to catch up. There fs one aspect of the Quebec budget, "however, which will 'not bring much advantage to that pro- vince, even if it does produce ad- ditional revenues, Quebec has im- posed a new six per cent tax on hotel, motel and resort accommoda- tion, Increased levies have been placed on meals, drinks, gasoline and cigarettes and tobacco. A six per cent tax has been imposed on long distance telephone calls, tele- grams and teletype messages. From a revenue standpoint, these The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, Genero!

But from the angle of maintaining the flow of tourist trade inte Quebec, in competition with provinces like Ontario, where taxes will not be applicable, the Quebec government may have made a grevious mistake. These new taxes may well push the and eost of services supplies for the tourist trade up beyond the point of diminishing returns. Coincident with the Quebec budget announcement, we were surprised to note that Lionel Chev- rier, High Commissioner in Lon- don, England, making a_ public statement that the provinces of Canada must have more tax revenue. That sounds very much like an infringement by the High Commissioner on matters which are the subject of government policy, and beyond the scope of the terms of high office. It would not: be surprising to have some pertinent questions asked in the Canadian parliament on Mr. Chevrier's plea for more money for the provinces, and presumably with Quebec parti- cularly in mind, Other Editors' Views HEALTH CARE (Sault Ste.

Problem Seen In Australia Peterborough Examiner While poking about a local supermarket recently, we came across an astonishingly enlight- ened gesture from our sister Dominion, Australia. On the canned-fruit shelves, there was a brand in which labels were in both English and French, "Cling Peach Halyes" had handily been translated to "Peches 'Cling' Moities'"' and ney Grade" to "Category de Fantaisie'. Suspecting that the cans had, perhaps, been labelled in the Province of Quebec, we turned one over to find "Printed in Australia" on the side. On fur- ther enquiry, we find that "Cling Peach Halves" exported to Que- bec 'have the main legend in French, and a translation into English, If the Australians can recog- nize the French fact in Canada from a distance 'of several thou- sand miles, why are the people of Lindsay unable to do so?

About 40 diplomats, and his two sisters, will attend the Easter mass this year. The eight story buill¥ing is in the midst of a dusty mess of re decoration. It seems hardly a place for a cardinal to officiate at a mass while outside in the city in ornate churches dozens of formal services go on, be- cause the Vatican has made a sort of peace with the Commu- nist regime. A little altar has been impro- vised in the main room of his apartment, a room some 20 feet square. There he has offered an Easter mass each year for a small group of foreign diplo- mats, with no Hungarians in- yited, This year brought an ex- ception, for his two elderly sis- ters asked to come from their village at Faster instead of visit- ing him on his birthday March 29 WELCOME TO STAY American diplomats and Hun- garian officials say he can stay in the place as long as he wishes, but the Vatican has indi- cated it would like to end the conflict growing out of Cardinal Mindszenty's insistence that he is head of the church in Hun- gary and the church should not be subordinated to the govern- ment Technically, the cardinal is under life sentence on a charge of espionage arising from a 1949 conflict with the government. He was put in house confine- ment outside the city.

Senators gnashed their teeth over it and foretold new Communist aggression Just last spring little bands of Cuban. exiles from Miami were mounting pinprick attacks on Fidel Castro's island, back- ed by secret U.S. funds and try- ing to start a war of liberation, policy MISSILE CONTROL Having demanded that Soviet troops leave Cuba, the U.S. was afraid that when they went they . Would hand over control of their defensive missiles to Cubans who would then shoot down the American U2 spy planes: which regularly patrol the island This, it was dearly predicted would give the U.S. the excuse to wipe out Castro with a few well-laid bombs What happened?

The Berlin problem is still unresolved be- cause nobody has seriously tried to resolve.it in 20 years From time to: time there is trouble In protest against the West German Parliament's meeting in West Berlin, the Soviets and Fast Germans held up traffic on the Autobahn and made life uncomfortable for the parlia mentarians and the rest of West Berlin by sending jets in low to crack sonic booms over the city. What happened? The politi- cians departed and the harass- ment stopped. The remarkable thing about this "crisis" was that nohedv bothered too much, It was a nostalgic echo of the Berlin Blockade of 1948 which launch- ed the Cold War. Veteran crisis watchers could shed a_senti- mental tear or give a cynical laugh. One reason Cuba, and Berlin are out of the headlines is that the U.S. Government, like the U.S. press and TV networks, is throwing so much of its -re- sources into Vietnam WHERE IS VIETNAM? The fate of the world ap- pears to hinge on a civil war in a shaky.confused and impover- ished little half-country which has been in being only since 1954 Vietnam could beget a world blow-up, but I doubt it, If the Life Hixtension Society stuck us 1. a freezeoleum and defrosted us five years hencg we would pop out and ask agmut Vietnam, and . doubt wether anvone would have hea of the place. Humans may keep on ice, but crises don't. Budapest and Hungarian author- ities said he sought to head up a government, Before any ac- tion was taken, and while Soviet cannon were crushing the re- bellion, the cardinal walked into the legation and asked asylum. NEW DELHI (AP)--U.S. in- volvement in Southeast Asia is upheld in India these days by a hard-hitting political mave- rick, Frank Reginald Anthony. He is the leader apd _ pro- tector of the nation's Anglo- Indian community --an_ esti- mated 250,000 persons of mixed parentage, At a time when it is un- popular to do so, Anthony is ris- ing in Parliament to declare that the U.S. fight against com- munism is India's fight. "At least we should give moral: support,"' he tells an un- convinced House. 'Our battles are being fought. We are only a talking nation." He went further in an Inter- view, saying: "The mad men in Peking will give us no peace. In five years, when she becomes operational in nuclear power, China will take on the world "A final reckoning with the Chinese must come. Instead of waiting for them to garrote us, we should meet them--have a bash here, a bash there. It would put heart in our people." BEIRUT (AP) --. The River Jordan is a brackish, narrow stream less than 100 miles long, but it carries the strongest poli- tical current in the Middle East. The Jordan flows into the Sea of Galilee, now called Lake Tiberias, and winds southward to drain into the heat-shimmer- ing Dead Sea. Syrian guns range over Tiberias, On the opposite shore, the muffled thud of ma- chinery reveals Israel is pump- GALLUP POLL > ing from an uhderground sta- tion The Arab world charges Israel is stealing Arab water to irri- gate the Negeve Desert so it can house another 4,000,000, im- migrants, Israel says it will use the water to develop already set- tled areas, and not to colonize the Negeve. To combat Israel the Arabs have an ambitious--and perhaps impractical--scheme to cut off three headwaters that feed Lake Tiberias. The Israeli diversion and the Arab counter - diversion could mean war but outside experts doubt that the Arab scheme will progress far enough to start a war.

In the latter part of last year the Socialists and Conser- vatives were even, each with 44% of the popular vote, In the latest Gallup Poll Labor has gone ahead again with a 7% lead. If an election were held today the Tories would win 35% of the vote, Labor 42%, Liberals 8% and 15% undecided. Approval of the Labor Government's record to date is pretty well split with disapproval. Almost four-in-ten ap- prove and more than three-in-ten disapprove, The rest don't know, A majority (56%) is satisfied with Mr. Harold Wilson @s Prime Minister while 26% are dissatisfied. More (42%) disapprove of Sir Alec Douglas-Home as leader of the Conservative Party than approve -- 38%, The remaining 20% have no opinion, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 21, 1965... The Red Knight, German air ace Baron Manfred von Richthofen, was shot down and killed over the Western Front 47 years ago today-- in 1918 -- by Captain Roy Brown, of Carleton Place, Ont., a flight leader in the 209th Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps, based near Bertangles. Brown was sul- fering from a stomach ail- ment and spent three weeks in hospital at Amiens imme- diately after landing from that flight. He was later awarded a bar to his DFC 1699--.Jean Racine, French dramatist, died 1926--Queeh Elizabeth LA was born. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 -- the British defended Hill 60 against German counter ~ attacks which, the t day, would develop into t Second Battle of Ypres; enemy losses were esti- mated at about 4,000 in four days. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940 -- the Toronto Scottish Regiment replaced the Royal 22nd Regiment on guard at royal palaces in Britain; the RAF bombed German aerial ferry termi- nals in Denmark and Nor- way. as both sides claimed success in ground warfare in central Norway. OTTAWA REPORT Suggest 'Annual Inquiry Of CBC By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Alphonse Ouimet, the $40,000-per-year president of the Canadian Broadcasting Cor- portation, has complained be- cause that Crown corporation has "had its share of enquiries --22 in all, over a period of 29 years." Instead of what he calls "'re- peated, ad hoc, unplanned and almost continuous investiga- tions,"" he would like the CBC to undergo only '"'comprehen- sive inquiries at known fixed intervals, say every 10 years." Of course he would like that! What other Crown corporation, what department of govern- ment, would not prefer to have MPs only able to. enquire once every 10 years what the tax- payers' money was being spent on? While Ouimet complains about 22 enquiries in 29 years, we never hear the heads of other Crown corporations, such as Donald Gordon of Canadian National Railways or Gordon McGregor of Air Canada, talk like this; yet they have to ap- pear before a_ parliamentary committee every year to ex- plain their past year's accounts and answer all questions. CBC DESERVES CHANGE The change which the govern- ment should make is to set up a standing committee of the Senate and House of Commons on broadcasting, and let it study the CBC regularly every year, and also study the activities of the Board of Broadcast Gover- nors and of private broadcast- ers Such a committee should en- quire very closely into how the CBC is spending some $100,000,- 000 of the taxpayers' money this year--at present without annual parliamentary study. In contrast the annually studied Air Canada last year achieved an operating profit of nearly $13,000,000 before interest For insjance, with a bill for a reportet $125,000,000 pending for building and equipping new facilities 'in Montreal, should QUEEN'S PARK Liquor Pay-Offs Again Charged By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The old question of a "'toll gate' on liquor li- cences has been brought up here again. NDP Leader Donald MacDon- ald charged that an application in Port Arthur had been turned down apparently because he re- fused to contribute to PC party funds. And the whole nasty question was before the public again. If there ever was a strong reason for an end to the present system of financing political parties this business of payoffs on liquor would be it, One should say "alleged pay- offs," for since the return of legal liquor sale in Ontario it has never been proven that there actually have been, or are, payoffs. It is quite probable there have been. During the 1940s you can say there almost certainly were payoffs and substantial ones, ANOTHER QUESTION But where they went, and where they are going today if there is any such thing, is an- other question, It is taken for granted that Judge W. T. Robb, chairman of the Liquor Licence. Board for nearly 20 years, is beyond re- proach. Even Mr. MacDonald gives the judge an absolutely clean slate. The great difficulty with any- thing underhand such as this, of course, is that it can't be pinned down. And it is wide open to venality, During the 40s, for instance, it was accepted -- and never proven -- that certain men should be seen and paid if you wanted a liquor licence, BIBLE "Charity suffereth long, and ts kind; charity envieth not; char- ity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up."' 1 Corinthians 13:4 The need of the world is more understanding and less under- minding, 'more care and less condemnation. "'Love thy neigh- bor as thyself." Mr. Ouimet have announced that the CBC would spend $10,- 000,000 on its own building at Expo '67--a one-year shot? He did that, and even placed the initial construction contract for $3,992,000 before Parliament had voted even one cent for that purpose. Treasury board, a committee of the cabinet, had considered it, but far from implying par- liamentary approval, that merely implicated cabinet in an insult to Parliament. MPs were quick to notice this and to pro- test, Social Credit Leader R. N, Thompson asked why prior par- liamentary approval had not been sought by the CBC; Oppo- sition Leader Diefenbaker de- manded "What tight has the head of the CBC" to take such action 'without consideration by Parliament?"' The minister who "speaks" for the CBC in Parliament, the evasive and bumbling Maurice Lamontagne, replied that he did not know what was going on--despite full accounts in the press for any- one who can read, This example of independence from Parlia- ment assumed by the CBC amply shows the need for a Standing committee on broad- casting. MPs SHOULD INTERFERE What has long been happening is that our MPs have been terri- fied by a bogey conjured up by apologists for the CBC, called 'political interference." This se- mantic ghost threatens that Parliament should not interfere with the CBC. This)of course is a_ heretical -doctrine, denying our democratic system that Parliament should carefully study the operations of: all Crown spending agencies 'Political supervision, and in- terference when necessary" in the CBC should be led by the government and demanded by every MP. What Canada could not tolerate is "partisan censor- ship" by the political party in power, These men were high in the party circles, and presumably the money they got was going into party funds. But there was no assurance that it actually did--and a great deal of suspicion that a lot of it didn't. Once' Premier Frost took over in the 50s the only real grounds for suspicion of a toll-gate were certain lawyers seemed to have a remarkable record of succes? before the board in getting ap proval of new applications. CANNOT KNOW But again there was nothing provable. And there also was no way of knowing whether if money was collected it landed in party funds or in somebody's private bank account. The whole situation, even If it only is a situation of "sus- picions" is distasteful. But so long as liquor fran- chises have their monopolistic nature, and so long as political parties depend on hidden funds, it will always probably exist.
