The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1965--- PAGE 4 Visit To Ste. Therese Oshawa's Opportunity In January of this year Oshawa received a great deal of favorable publicity right across Canada by the splendid reception which was given here to a goodwill party which came here from Ste. Therese, Que- bec, the location of the new Quebec province plant of General Motors, The civic authorities, General Mo- tors of Canada, Limited, the Cham- ber of Commerce and the officials of Local 222, UAW., combined to make the day of their visit a mem- orable one. It was a splendid ges- ture in inter-provincial relations, and was especially important at this time when there is so much discus- sion of the necessity of goodwill and understanding between the two founding races of the country. Because of the impact which was made by the visit of the Ste. Therese delegation to Oshawa in January, it is interesting to note that the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce is now organizing and making plans for an Oshawa delegation to make a return visit to Ste. Therese in- September, This will be an important occasion, as the visit is being timed to coin- cide with the opening of the General Motors plant in that community. The co-operation which existed in Oshawa to make the visit of the Ste. Therese .delegation so successful was outstanding. It is to be hoped that there will be a similar measure of community interest and co-oper- ation to ensure that the party which travels to Ste. Therese in September is one worthy of the occasion, and one which will do credit to Oshawa as the Motor City of Canada. With the Ste. Therese plant in operation, and with a number of for- mer Oshawa GM and employees transferred to that plant, there should be a close communion between these two municipalities. This might well set a pattern of how citizens of Ontario and Quebec can work in harmony and goodwill for their mutual benefit and well-being. Because. of the phase in the relations between the two communities, we would urge that every effort be made to secure a delegation of outstanding propor- tions to pay the return visit to Ste. executives importance of this Therese, where it will be assured of a warm and enthusiastic welcome, New Political Venture The need to arouse a greater poli- tical consciousness in the minds of the young people of Canada has reg- istered so strongly with the political parties of this country that they have taken an unusual form of com- bined action in an effort meet this need. One of the most signifi- cant moves in this direction took place the other day when delegates representing the young people of all provinces and of the chief political parties came toegther ina. joint meeting and formed the Canadian Council of Political Youth. This new organization is impor- tant, because its chief objective is to bring the message of the impor- tance of politics to the young peo- ple of Canada without a political She Oshawa Times T. L.

Dr. VIPOND AND AUTO PACT The Editor The Oshawa Times Dear Sir, I would like to make a few comments on the remarks of Dr. Vipond at the Liberal nomination meeting as reported in Saturday's Times. If Dr. Vi- pond wants to live up to lis claim to be able to do more for the plant workers than the other two parties, he should make an attempt to understand their problems better than he does I 'suggest that visiting them in their homes to give medical service does not give anyone an understanding of their economic problems. His statement about the oppo- sition quibbling about temporary dislocation of workers shows this. About half of the auto workers of Canada are engaged in parts manufacturing, so we are talking about quite a large number of people. Many of these workers whose jobs are threat- ened by the auto.pact are over the age of 35 and have many years of their lives invested in the auto industry. All this they stand to lose It is a well-known fact to work- ers in Oshawa that General Motors hiring policies exclude workers over 35, so these people have very little chance of being rehired into the auto industry One must therefore assume that in effect their jobs will be given to new people The Auto Worker made many approaches to the Liberal government, in an at- tempt to get them to commit themselves to a policy of com- pensation for dislocated workers and to put pressure on the big automobile companies to accept responsibility for the preferen- tial hiring of displaced workers. This has not done I sugge ernment not have the moral right to pass legislation that benefits the majority at the expense. of the very livelihood of a minority without compensation. It is well worth noting that the United States government las a policy such as this in regard to the auto pact This is a very lem to many workers i ing, and Dr. Vipond would well if nstead of attacking those who protest, he would call on General Motors and other auto makers to accept their re- sponsibility to the Canadian peo- ple as gracefully as they ed the 50 million dollar tax and announce tention of making sure that the displaced workers get first chance at the 50,000 to 60,000 promised jobs If Dr. Vipond better understanding of problem, I am sure that are people at the UAW Hall would ad to discu this and provide him with a few facts that have been overlooked in all the praise of the auto pact Thank you WILFRED DUFFIELD 305 La Salle Avenue, Oshawa, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO June 5, 1940 Rey.

The famous declaration of Labor Prime Min- ister M.

In de fence, reliance has turned in- creasingly from .Britain toward the United States. New Zealand now considers that its front line of defence is. in Southeast Asia. But actual defence operations in Southeast Asia have been largely in co-operation with Britain in defending Malaysia against Indonesian infiltration. New Zealand has an infantry battalion, a paratroop unit, two air squadrons and a naval frig- ate serving in the Malaysian theatre Assistance to South Viet Nam has so far been conifned to a surgical team and a small unit of field engineers serving in a non-combatant capacity For several months pressure has been mounting for New Zealand to assume a more ac- tive role in Viet Nam, if only by sending a token force in a combat role TO SEND BATTERY The pressures came to a head with the government's recent decision to send an artillery battery to join U.S, troops aid- ing the South Vietnamese. Opposition spokesmen said they had "grave doubts' about the decision and sit-down dem- onstrators protesting the action had to be carried out of the Parliament Buildings.

"Let me declare: clearly and unequivocally that the New Zea- Jand government-fully supports and approves the action taken by the Unietd States," he said. The Labor opposition had come out against sending troops In present circumstances. Its at- titude was that New Zealand troops should be sent to Viet Nam only as a peacekeeping force under the United Nations or other international authority.

BOOK CORNER Apostle Of British Toryism, Beaverbrook Seen Socialist By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP)--Lord Beaver- brook, Canadian-born apostle of British toryism for more than 50 years, was at heart a Social- ist, never really a Conservative at all * This is one of the more arrest- ing theories put forward in a controversial book, The True History of Lord Beaverbrook, by Alan Wood, who died in 1957, long before Beaverbrook's death last June. Reviewers generally comment with distaste on what they see as a tendency of the book to comment--on everything from business transactions to amor- ous gossip--rather than to report on facts, giving sources. Jeremy Wallington writes in the Tory Sunday Times that Wood, an Australian who served as war correspondent for Bea- verbrook"s Daily Express, was "obviously" commissioned to do the book as an obituary "It is far too accurate in its assessments of Beaverbrook to have been published in his life- time. Nevertheless the author, though he avoided using the con- siderable heritage of anecdote ae fact, did not really do enough work on his: subject to justify all his assessments."' The Evening Standard, a Bea verbrook newspaper, carries a review by Michael Foot, one- time Beaverbrook journalist and now Labor member of Parlia ment who agrees with Wood that the Jate publisher was never really a Tory SCORES ACCOUNT Foot is critical of Wood's ac- count of how the young Max Aitken climbed to fame as Beaverbrook but, perhaps pre dictably, the Socialist left- winger approves this passage ir the book 1 have the fancy that, from one point of view, the truest in- terpretation of Max Aitken's ¢a- reer in Britain is that he was a lost Labor leader. I do not mean this in an obvious sar- castic sense... but I am writ- ing of the Labor party as it could have been, and of Max Aitken as he might have been. Throughout his life he was a Radical gone wrong. At heart he was partly a Bolshevik revo- lutionary, partly a romantic re- actionary, part iconoclast, part pioneer; but he was never a Conservative." Wood maintains Aitken made a. disastrous mistake in accept- ing' a peerage and "spent a lifetime trying, with varying success, to be a good Conserva- tive." GALLUP POLL Foot comments: "It may seem too fanciful to picture Beaverbrook as a lost leader of the Left, but the facts fit the odd theory much more closely than most people can imagine." Ivan Yates writes in The Ob- Server, an Independent Sunday newspaper, that Wood, unlike some other writers on Beaver- brook, "escapes - enchantment and disenchantment alike, but without losing sympathy." "The book gains greatly as a result, in its acute assess- ment of Beaverbrook's char- acter, Wood brings out his shy- ness and extreme sensitiveness, describes his frequent descents into hypochondria in his great need to avoid public humilia- tion." FINISHED IN 1957 Sir Linton Andrews, who re- viewed the Beaverbrook book both in the Conservative Yorkshire Post and in World Press News, a trade journal, Says it is strange that it has not been published before, since it was finished in 1957. "Perhaps the reason is that, according to its author, the one thing of which Beaverbrook was incapable was allowing an ob- jective appreciation of himself. "He certainly would not have liked this book. It makes some surprising disclosures. For ex- ample, it-relates that his father, a Presbyterian minister, con- fessed to him that he did not believe the Evangelical gospel which he preached so fervently every Sunday "There have been rumors that Beaverbrook made his vast for- tune in Canada by shady meth- ods. The author tells us what he can of the deals in question, but it does not appear that in forming more mergers than anyone else in Canada the astute Aitken went beyond the accepted standards of business behavior." Turning to another feature of the book, Sir Linton writes "Writing of the playboy years, the gay life of the 1920s, the author tells us of his belief that a public man's private life should be treated as his own affair, but he adds that once gossip has passed into general knowledge it is better that some things should be written frankly than be talked of furtively. "Then follows anonymous gos- sip described as talk of the town about Beaverbrook's affairs, in which it seemed he took special delight in tumbling the pride of society women, As Mr. Wood himself writes, 'It would be wrong to Jay too much stress on such episodes,' " WOMEN DRIVERS GIVEN MUCH HIGHER RATING By rHE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) With aulomobi'e accidents at an all-time high in Can- ada, Gailup Poll blame cannot be Seventy-six per cent of the interviewers pin-pointed citizens have ascertained that the against women. drivers, say women drivers are as good or better than men drivers In the past 20 years the reputation of women as car drivers has steadily improved were the public said women In 1945 only 9 per cent of better drivers than men; today 15 per cent hold this view.

Better drivers As good drivers Worse drivers No opinion Unilateral Action Risk (MONTREAL STAR) Members of the United Na- tions, or specifically Western allies, refused to intrude in Viet Nam not because of dereliction of duty but rather because they did not feel any cause for alarm. We have seen the same phenom- enon repeated in the Dominican Republic, where the United States, on its own, claimed a situation to be dangerous while others did not share this sense of apprehension. The confusion and the ill-will. that resulted from the single- handed U.S. incursion in the Do- Dominican Republic are now pushed aside partly by an inter- American force of the OAS .The situation in Viet Nam does not lend itself to such neat tidying up.
