L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1965 -- PAGE 4 New Oshawa Riding Will Provide Keener Contest As had been expected, the city of Oshawa has been divorced from the greater part of the surrounding ru- ral area of Ontario county in the plan for the redistribution of the federal constituencies in the prov- ince. The phenomenal growth of population in Oshawa and the sur- rounding district made it inevitable that it should become, as much as possible, an urban constituency. This has been achieved by the crea- tion of a new Oshawa riding, to in- clude the city of Oshawa, the town of Whitby, and that part of Whitby township which lies between the western boundary of Oghawa and the eastern boundary of Whitby. The rest of Ontario county has been placed in an enlarged Ontario riding, which will take in parts of York and Victoria counties and some of the islands of Lake Simcoe. This change in the complexion of the Oshawa riding could have a very marked effect on its political representation when the next elec- tion is held. If anything, it should enhance the chances of the New Democratic Party in this constitu- ency, because of the predominant industrial and trade union popula- tion of Oshawa and Whitby. This cannot, however, be taken for granted. Experience has shown that workers who may be members of labor unions do not feel commit- ted to give up their own political af- filiations at the behest of the union's political action committee, They still retain the right to free- dom to support the party of their choice, and in past elections they have exercised that right. The loss of the rural sections of the riding, however, may. prove quite-an obstacle to the re-election bid of Hon. Michael Starr, as in pre- vious elections he polled heavy votes in these areas. To perhaps a lesser degree, this factor will also cut into the potential Liberal vote in the new riding. Regardless of how it goes, one thing is certain. The next election in Oshawa riding will be an exciting and concentrated affair, in which it . would be quite unsafe to make any predictions of the possible result. The key to success in it will be effi- cient and effective organization, coupled with the personal appeal of the candidates who are appealing for the support of the electors. No Room For Optimism Prime Minister Pearson of Can- ada and Prime Minister Shastri of India are, if anything, somewhat over-optimistic in 'their thinking that a cease-fire can be arranged in Viet Nam, and that this could lead to a negotiated settlement guaran- teed by the international commun- ity. While they are to be commend- ed for their determination to press for such a solution to the Viet Nam strife, one can see little hope of any early moves of the parties involved to get around the conference table.

GOOD EVENING -- the North Vietnamese, and has stressed that he is willing to carry on talks without any conditions laid down in advance. But there has been no sign of a response from the other side. Even when the United States called off its bombing at- tacks for a period in the hope of se- curing a move towards negotiations, this did not bring the results that were hoped for. It ean be said with some degree that there is no hope of a cease-fire, or of negotiations, so long as the Viet Cong forces continue to win spectacular successes in their at- tacks on the South Viet Namese troops and villages. All of the recent news from the fighting fronts indi- cate that the Communists hold the upper hand, and are able to wipe out South Vietnamese battalions at will. While that condition exists, the North Viet Namese will not give up the advantage they have gained. It may be that the situation will become much worse before it is bet- ter, and that the United States forces will have to take a more ac- tive role in meeting the Communist attacks. The passive role now adopt- ed will accomplish little. The only hope for ending the impasse is by 'wresting the upper hand from the Communists -- and that of course involves greater American partici- pation, with all the danger of escal- ation that might be precipitated.

One In Five People Poor (Montreal Star) Poverty, as Mr. Allan Mae- Eachen has pointed out can be defined in statistical terms "but the poor known in very real terms what it is." It is small and uncertain income, the sub- standard house, the heartbreak- ing struggle to feed, clothe and educate children. By this definition, one out of every five Canadians is poor. Twenty per cent of us in this rich country, that is, to quote minister of labor again, "live in a different world" shunted aside while the rest forge ahead -- "some because they are ill- equipped to seize opportunities, and some because they liye in areas where opportunities are rare or non-existent." YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO June 22, 1945 J. A. Morphy was elected as president of the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital, to succeed T. K, Creighton who had served in that position for nine years.

As one British journalist ex- pressed it, today's Common- wealth is "a kind of testing laboratory for the general world problem of race relations." Douglas. Brown of The Sunday Telegraph wrote that it was Nehru who by voluntarily link- ing his newly-fledged republic to Crown and Commonwealth in 1950 had made that laboratory possible. "He changed the whole nature of that unique institution. He turned it from a- coterie of blood - related nations into a world forum." The memorial exhibition, ar- ranged by the Indian goyern- ment, opened in New York last January and was inaugurated in London by Prime Minister Wilson June 10. The Queen visited it the following day. With skilful use of 1,200 photo- graphs, colorful Indian fabrics and art objects and extracts from Nehru's writings and speeches, it draws the visitor into Nehru's life and times, into the making of a rare revolu- tionary, a paradox among na- tionalist politicians. ENGLISH TASTES Here is Nehru the Cambridge- educated lawyer with scholarly English tastes, the dreaming schoolboy who grew up with Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling and Jerome K. Jerome's humor classic Three Men in a Boat, developing into'a steel - willed opponent of British rule whom even Mohandas Gandhi called "an extremist." He spent altogether 14 years in British jails, yet while hating British policy in India wrote in his prison diary: "I do not hold England or the English people as a whole responsible for this . they are as much victims i nue By Jack Gearin There's Another Side To Dnieper Case The "Let's-Get-Rid-Of-Magis- trate Robert B. Dnieper" move- ment has again gained impetus. This is disturbing to many. Take the loyal, hard - core group so familiar with the con- troversial magistrate's record in Ontario County (where he sery- ed a stormy, unforgettable 18- month period). They don't forget. They readily admit that many of the charges made against him are true, unfortunately, He is brusque, uncivil, unorthodox, downright rude at times. But they would like more Press emphasis placed on the other side of his record, which they believe is one of which any magistrate could be proud. Their plans are in the embryo stage, but some of them would like tp create a more accurate pub- lic image of the handsome: 34- year-ole. cadi of Ukrainian de- scent with the penchant for get- ting his name in the headlines (Why not call it: "The Loyal Supporters of Magistrate Robert Dnieper -- Ontario County Divi- sion?"') An Oshawa observer has sum- marized the situation this way: "Whether or not you like Magis- trate Dnieper or not pretty well depends on what side of the fence you stand. If you are an accused or a defence counsel ready times with members of the bar, yes, overly-severe at wrench and was on probation). The first attempt by one to you automatically dislike him." Few men are so criticized or acclaimed. The pré-Dnieper group regards him as somewhat of a patron saint, primarily for one reason -- he is unafraid to administer what they call "stern justice', regardless of where the chips may fall. ' They fell that such justice is the orily effective way to curb some of modern society's more glaring ills, such as drunk driv- ing and teen-age drinking (he has little patience with wayward teen-agers, who, perhaps,. feel the sting of his severity more than any other group). They feel that there is too much molly- coddling and pampering of such offenders by the courts in the Province today, One of them pointed with pride to what he called Magis- trate Dnieper's 'record of achieyement' in Ontario County and asked "What was the sum total re- sult of his hard-line sentence campaign on drinking teen- agers out Pickering Township way and in the dance halls' of places like Whithy town? It was impressive. He was rough and but his particular brand of jus- tice had-a-miraculous,over-all effect, If you don't think so con- sult the court records. Such of- fences decreased drastically and pretty soon it wasn't neces- sary for Dnieper to be tough. I'd like to see more of his kind, They would make the. teen- agers and the drunk drivers toe the line. There would be far fewer broken-hearted parents, husbands and Wives. They can criticize him to doomsday for his erratic court behaviour, but they can't obliterate his record of achievement." Here's a point -- in the eight formal complaints against: Ma- gistrate Dnieper to the Attorney= General's Department in recent months, not a whit of evidence was produced that he had ever made an improper decision, de- spite his shortcomings. Attorney-General Arthur Wish- art emphasized this last week. That was when he administered what one Toronto paper called "a slap on the wrist" to Magis- trate Dnieper for. comments during a-recent court case of two boys charged with vagrancy after their 'early-morn arrest (one wore gloves, carried a speak was greeted hy his re- moval from court -- the second attempt, by the other, resulted in some strong talk by the ma- gistrate, They. were freed. Mr. Wishart said there had been "no miscar- riage of justice', but there had been 'extraneous' comment by the magistrate (to impress the youth with the seriousness of probation yilation), Mr. Wis hart strongly objected to the magistrate's commentary, and the way it was done, It would not create a good impression of the .court with the public, he said, He did not want it to hap- pen. again It was. a public rebuke for Magistrate Dnieper' but it was a mild one. It, would do little to appease his "host of influential critics, including members of the bar who have been crying for his' scalp for several months now. He rarely did draw a good press, and he never sought to win popularity contests; but those are no yardsticks to use when appraising the record of a magistrate who is more: hated sand admired than any contem> porary on the bench. in Ontario today. of circumstances as we are." The first prime minister of independent India was born in 1889 into a westernized house- hold in Allahabad. Even the ad- dress--9 Elgin Road--sounded like an English suburb, Father Motilal Nehru was a lawyer who lived the life of an English gentleman, having suits tailored in London, importing the first automobile seen in Allahabad. Earlier, as a schoolboy at posh Harrow, young Nehru found English boys disconcert- ingly childish. He was excited by Japan's defeat of Russia in the war of 1904-05, and later wrote: 'I mused on Indian free- dom and Asiatic freedom from the thralldom of Europe. I dreamed of brave deeds, of how, sword in hand, I would fight for India and help in free- ing 'her... . I was 14." The headmaster of Harrow wrote: "He is a thoroughly good fellow and ought to have a bright future before him." Nehru's own comment.on his re- turn to India in 1911 after grad- uating iilliantly from Cam- bridge: "I was a bit of a prig with little to commend me." Six years later Nehru had his first, momentous meeting with Gandhi, the dhoti-clad ascetic whom Winston Churchill in a blustering moment called 'that seditious fakir," who was to lead India into independence only to. fall to an assassin's bul- let. As Nehru began his. political climb through India's labor movements in the 1920s, the sun was already sinking on the Brit- ish Raj. The era is vividly evoked in the London exhibition with photographs of whiskered sahibs in rickshaws and the faded brilliance of military uni- forms. The flame of revolution in the young Cambridge graduate was fanned by the 1919 Amritsar Massacre--the Sharpeville of its day--when Brig.-Gen. R. E. H. Dyer and his troops opened. fire on a political meeting, killing 379 and wounding 1,200 in 15 minutes. Nehru was deeply moved by India's seething poverty. "'Eng- land has cruelly wronged us," he wrote. Yet he later ack- nowledged the benefits of Brit- ish scientific knowledge and with . typical wit asserted that the Anglo-Saxons had done the Indians good by providing a "succession of violent shocks to shake us out of our torpor." Came India's independence in 1947--Nehru's "tryst with des- tiny'--and the once-fiery na- tionalist was soon teaching In- dia to value the best of the Brit- ish heritage and helping to -de- liver the newborn .Common- wealth from the troubled womb of Enmipire. He inspired widespread affec- tion among Commonwealth leaders and the multi - racial masses of the world association. When he died in May, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson called him "the man who more than any other world leader has given expression to man's yearning for peace." Communism In Argentina Tiny As Startlet's Bikini By JOSE M. ORLANDO BUENOS AIRES (AP)--Com- munism in Argentina is as tiny as a starlet's bikini. And far less attractive. To a large extent, this is the work of exiled dictator Juan D. Peron, the rambling demagogue whose nine-year reign. stirred up two decades of political tur- moil and fiscal disaster, but helped in keeping the Commu- nists out, Moscow-leaning politics are conspicuously absent from this nation of 25,000,000, South Amer- ica's second largest, The situa- tion contrasts sharply with the extreme left movements in Bra- zil, Mexico, Chile, Venezuela and other Latin American coun- tries, Peron's appeal among. work- ers--partially "accounts for the difference, Another key reason is that Argentines are well-fed, The Communist appeal lacks pull in a country still keeping Latin-America's highest stand- ard of living, despite sharp eco-. nomic setbacks. In many Latin American coun- tries the Communist word spread swiftly after the Second World War. Underpaid factory workers and peasants swal- lowed the Communist gospel as the best answer to their social grudges, But in Argentina men in fac tories and fields rallied around Peron instead of communism. This still holds true today, 10 years after Peron was booted out by a military revolt and packed off to exile in Spain, In the congressional election last March 14. his followers, still longing for the promised return of the aging 'leader, polled the biggest popular vote. Peron became Argentina's ab- solute boss in 1946, on the basis of a military revolt that had tonnled a conservative regime, His windy style and inflation- @ry money policies soon made him the idol of the Argentine poor. He coddled them with un- restrained salary raises and a deluge of social and economic privileges. In his speeches, he called them his descamisados (shirtless ones). He built powerful support among millions of workers, while lashing out at the wealthy: the Roman Catholic Church and anyone else in range, His rule pushed Argentina, formerly one of the world's wealthiest coun- tries, to the brink of bank- ruptcy. But his regime and his later influence were neyer tainted by communism, His policies were nationalistic, fighting U.S", Rus- sian or any other foreign inter- _ference as the same, Argentina is still grappling its way hack to political peace and economic order, but the Com- munist party is reported to have only about. 80,000 voters, less than one per cent of the coun try's total voting force, OTTAWA REPORT Defence Program Termed 'Mockery' By PATRICK NOCHOLSON OTTAWA--In the 20 yore since VE ; 'Day, ge taxpayers ave pa more than $27,000,000,000 -- $27,290,- 925,419.83 to be exact--to main- tain and equip our armed forces. The result of this expenditure by eight ministers of defence, a sum more than sufficient to buy all our industry back from its United States owners, was on view for Canadians to see on the Queen's birthday June 12. An armed forces parade took place .along one, mile of (t- tawa's main downtown shopping street, s0 not many taxpayers in such cities as Charlottetown and Nanaimo could see at first hand what was billed as. this display of Canada's newly-inte- grated armed might. But it was watched by an Ottawa crawd-- chiefly children attracted by the bands--estimated by one news- paper at 50,000 and by another @t double the size. What did they see? For $27,- 000,000,000 it was not impres- sive, The troops looked smart and robust, but they only num- bered 5,000, assembled from all parts of Canada at a cost of $36,000. If the staff of national defence headquarters and ancil- lary Ottawa units had marched past Parliament Hill, the parade would have totalled nearer 25,- 000, and the cost of assembly would have been only a bus fare, Three hundred and eighteen air- craft of 12 different types flew low overhead, in flights of four or fiye planes spaced one min- . ule apart, but this was a sleight of hand, since just 53 aircraft each, made six passes. RAPPED BY CAMP Dalton Camp, national presi- dent of the Conservative assovi- ation, aptly damned the parade as "the greatest accumulation of obsolescence in Canada, in- cluding the Bomarc."' One vet- eran more pithily quipped: "The Viet Cong could gobble up the poor fellows for breakfast." Another veteran _ pondered whether the Liberal government QUEEN'S PARK Claim Government Is Union Buster By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The government has been attacked this session on compulsory arbitration. Opposition groups--the Liber- als have joined the NDP in most of it -- would have the government appear as a unien- buster. Compulsory. arbitration was applied to hospital workers and to civilian police workers. And then there was a special bill on Ontario Hydro. Liberal and NDP speakers protested against these meas- ures, heatedly and at length. But, really, can you fault the government on them? We can't haye hospital strikes. We know that. And also if civilian police workers walked out they undoubtedly could tie up effective operation of forces, particularly the larger ones. And what alternative is there? The biggest. fault that can be laid to the opposition is that it really didnt' propose any. Personally I don't believe the government is any more in love with compulsory arbitration than you or I are. And when the opposition raises the clamor it has on the point you have to suspect its hunger for votes is out-weigh- ing its common sense, Though there is the one fac- tor in its favor that there is an obligation to present, and keep presenting, the arguments against compulsion. Otherwise it could become an accepted practice, and applied in situations where it really would be offensive. One of the features of the re- port of the committee on con- sumer credit discussed here is a proposal that a consumer pro- tection and fraud bureau sbould be set up in the province. Not too well known is that we have an organization active- in 'this field now in the anti- rackets branch of the OPP. And an organization that has quite a remarkable record, : In 1963, for instance, this branch conducted 939 investiga- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 22, 1965... United States forces landed in Cuba 67 years ago today--in 1898 -- after the sinking of the Maine in -Ha- vana harbor and the conse- quent declaration of war on Spain. For 30 years before there had been bloody civil war in the island and, while the inhabitants made some gains (slavery was abolished in 1886), Spain again sus- pended constitutional guar- antees in. 1895.

Surely at this rade on that same day in tiawa, the Governor-General should haye taken the salute,. rather than the prime minister. India's Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri was in Ottawa, actually meeting with Finance Minister Gordon and other cabi-. net ministers during the parade. Their conference was repeatedly brought to silence by the roar of low-flying aircraft. One ean guess the thoughts of that rep- resentative of our peace-loving: partner. on the Vietnam truce commission. Was the purpose of the parade to impress the taxpayers that we get good value of our inces- sant drain of defence dollars? All it achieved was to demon- strate vividly that our defence program is a mockery. It is neither effectiye enough to de- fend Canada, nor innocent enough to justify our peace- promoting stance. It is in fact, as a former associate defence minister once candidly ad- mitted, merely a maké-work program designed to hide un- employment and to subsidise qur heavy industry. Honesty and common sense suggest that the huge sum of money would be hetter spent on financing an appreciable Canadian peace carps and constructing tractars te help our hungry brother- humans rather than military hardware which is rusting into obsolescence. But this is Kot ti detract from the diligence an smartness of the 5,000 members of our newly-integrated armed forces who presented that Tat. urday morning spectacle. In fact the parade served to demonstrate Canada's integra- tion in a remarkable way. en it ended, Defence Minister Hell- yer uttered to the parade com- mander the immortal bilingual- ism; 'Tres bien; yes, Sir!" tions. And out of them it started 207 prosecutions (some of them involving a number of charges). The most remarkable part of the record is that in all the charges the branch has laid since it was formed in 1960 there never has been an acquit- tal where there has been a full court proceeding. This, of course, is almost in- credible. Actually the branch is a lot of the work now that/the propeged bureau would do--any- body can complain to it. There is one important differ- ence, however. At present the branch is able to nip some rackets before they start, and without going to court. But its scape to do this is limited, For it really is empow- ered only to handle frauds. selene nae LISTEN HERE: "YOU MEET THE NICEST PEOPLE..."
