The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited ~, 86 King St, E., Oshawa, Ontario. T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Let s Choose Weapons Carefully In Crime 'War A great consciousness of the crime which may be in our midst prevades Canadian affairs. In Otta- wa, of course, where the most dis- turbing development has loomed the federal government has taken its customary, if rather nebulous ac- tion of "declaring war on crime". Elsewhere in Ontario, municipal authorities have expressed alarm over the manner in which the cam- paign on crime is being conducted on the provincial level. Their concern could serve as cause for caution when the federal- provincial conference is held later this month in Ottawa with the "war on crime" receiving top prior- {ty on the agenda. Municipal leaders meeting in convention in Kitchener last week protested strenuously the increased power given to police commissions in amendments to the Ontario Police Act. They deplored specifically the wider powers given police commissions in establishing standards of accommodation, arms and equipment, and staff numbers, They criticized also the fact that a dispute by municipal councils on budgets is subject only to an appeal to the Ontario police commission. The reeves and mayors pointed out there were dangers in the amendments to the democratic sys- tem of municipal government. Their argument must be considered seri- ously when we realize that extra- ordinary powers are being given to' non-elected bodies. Elected repre- sentatives to Ontario councils have already lost. control of the purse strings in matters pertaining to boards of health, welfare, education and conservation. The loss of finan- cial contro] in the policing of their communities is a serious one on the local level of government. The assistance of non-elected bod- ies is probably essential in combat- ting crime today: Expert counsel and diréction is required. Neverthe- less, while the growth of crime is abhorred, care must be exercised in our enthusiasm to eradicate it. In ridding ourselves of one danger we could give rise to another threat by relinquishing too much power to state control to the detriment. of truly responsible government. Another Career Opens The fanfare afforded the forma- tion of the Company of Young Ca- nadians has fired an interesting and potentially valuable response from the otheh end of the age scale. It seems the senior citizens of Cana- dian society are also interested in offering a hand with the country's foreign and technical aid programs. James E. Walker, the Liberal Party whip who recently suggested Canada should utilize the resources of older Canadians as well as the young in its aid program, has re- ported enthusiastic support of his ideas. He has received a large num- ber of replies from 'persons with ex- She Oshawa Times R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C. J.

There is as Mr. Walker says, a tremendous waste of human re- sources in people who retire at 65 and have no satisfying outlet for their talents and energies. Older Canadians could put at the disposal of developing countries not only their energy which in many cases of retired workers is considerable, but also the experience gained during their careers. Mr. Walker hazarded the guess that-there were retired-bank man- agers, municipal officials, business executives, teachers, mechanics and civil servants who would love to make a contribution during a two- year hitch in foreign countries. The response he has apparently received has proved him correct. The experience amassed in the suc- cessful careers of people still active despite retirement would defy a price tag. It could be invaluable to countries just really becoming es- tablished..In a non-profit organiza- tion such as is envisaged it could be had for the expenses involved. Nor should the boon in the field of human relations be overlooked. For many of those who now look up- on retirement as the end of their career, it could be rather the start of a new and interesting one. FRENCH CANADIAN VIEWPOINT Death Penalty Brief Carefully This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- } language press of Canada. "Montreal Le Devoir--. The white paper (on capital punishment) is exasperatingly objective. Drawing on UN documents, the 1949-53 British royal commission, the 1965 recommendations of the spe- cial Canadian Senate commit- tee and various American studies, Justice Minister Fav- reau has carefully balanced off every argument for aboli- tion with one against. Among the arguments against, he presents some of the most specious: "In. a young and growing country like Canada, with its popula- tion of mixed nationalities, the dissuasion provided by capital punishment is more necessary than in certain other countries;" and some of the strongest: "If we refuse the state the right to take the life of one of its members, we would have, by the same rea- soning, to deny it the right to take away someone's free- dom in perpetuity. And in favor of abolition: "Capital punishment . has no special dissuading | effect that: imprisonment wouldn't evee ss" : No statistical inquiry has shown capital punishment to have dissuasive virtues. ... To grant capital punishment a dissuasive value, we are re: duced to accepting the word* of the police from their ex- perience in fighting crime. | Even then it must be ad- mitted that the dissuasive ef- fect is so slightly greater than that of other punishments that it is not worth risking the skin of an innocent in the maintenance of this barbarous and retrograde punishment. tries ear UN. The. question MPs will have to answer is a simple one: What society are they pre- pared to live in? They belong to the same society asthe criminals, and the laws they make for them will also gov- ern themselves. Can they stand to let the laws go on being brutal or do they want them to be humane? Since this society is theirs, they are aslo responsible for its weaknesses.

Nobody -- including the hot« test critics of Authority proce- dures. -- argues with the basic principles of conservation au- thorities, It is agreed that they have made and will continue to make a tremendously valuable contribution to the well-being of the province. it is their method of opera- tion that has raised increasing doubts and, in the case of two or three of the Authorities, fur- ious opposition, Indeed, Attor- ney-General Arthur Wishart has criticized some of the proce- dures of the Upper Thames au- thority. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the Upper Thames River Authority have been the main targets of criti- cism. There isn't much doubt that the controversies sparked by these two bodies led directly to the appointment by Premier John Robarts of a select com- mittee of the legislature to "Un- dertake a complete. review of the opefation of conservation authorities to determine what administrative or legislative im- provements may be needed to meet current and future re quirements." It is a knowledgeable mittee, Arthur Evans, the member for Simcoe Centre, is the chair- man. A former warden of Sim- coe county, he lives in Brad- ford and has had a first-hand opportunity to study problems of conservation. He has on the committee a Conservation contingent made up of Maurice Hamilton, Ren- frew North, Jack Harris, To- ronto Beaches; Louis M. Hodg- son, Searborough East; George A. Kerr, Halton; W. Darcy Me- Keough, Kent. West; Neil Olde, Middlesex South; Gordon Pitt- cock, Oxford (whoresigned from the chairmanship of the Upper Thames Authority at the height of the furore over ex- propriation of land for the Pit- tock Dam at' Woodstock); and Allan E, Reuter, Waterloo South. The two Liberals on the com- mitte are Robert Nixon, Brant, and Farquhar Oliver, Grey South, There is one New Democrat, but he is the party leader, Don- ald MacDonald who led the criti- cism in the legislature of Upper Thames handling of the Pittock Dam affair. The committee's terms of ref- erence are broad, It is to 'inquire into and re- view the provisions of the Con- servation Authorities Act and such other acts, of this Legisla- ture dealing with the powers ex- ercised by Conservation Au- thorities as said committee shall deem appropriate." It will also, "without limit- ing the generality of the fore- going,' inquire into the con- stitution and powers of the au- thorities, including the number of members: and the method of their appointment; the system of financing the work of the authorities and the ability of local municipalities to pay for their share of conservation schemes; the power of authori- ties to acquire or expropriate lands and the methods used; the administrative' practices and methods employed by the au- thorities in carrying out their responsibilities. com- China out of the making that significant and Doubtless China is are the members of the decision against and remaining these require vigilance, in the -- Willie question of offshore from the that flies in the matter of such .re- and jurisdiction over for - ish Columbia. lar case no reference is made to the jurisdictional claims of the sources under waters.

It has been under a strict food and consumer goods rationing since 1961 when agricultural and industrial production was taken over by the revolutionary gov- ernment Ardent Marxists such as Er- nesto Che Guevara undertook an ambitious industrialization program destined to give Cuba a heavy industry within five years, Meanwhile agriculture was be- ing neglected .Many cane fields were razed amid efforts to di- versify agricultural production. "As-a result the production of sugar and food fell sharply. The ambitious industrialization plan bogged down from the beginning and consumer goods vanished from the market. The government now says that the main mistake was "'to have tried to mechanically copy from the experience of other socialist countries."

Lands that the government hed taken over were 'divided into state farms of manageable size, which at the same time were consolidated in regional areas producing a determined product. New administrators trained in technical schools were ap- pointed. To increase milk and meat, new grazing lands were planted, and cattle were imported from Canada. The industrialization program lured thousands of workers from the fields. This: resulted in an acute manpower shortage at harvest time. To help ease the shortage the government launched a mechan- ization drive with Soviet-made machinery, especially in the sugar cane harvest. The most important result has been the high sugar production reached this year, 6,000,000 tons. SUPPLIES HARD CURRENCY Sugar supplies 85 per cent of Cuba's hard currency. A third of the crop will go to the Soviet Union as payment. for oil, in- dustrial equipment and raw ma- terials, and other Communist countries including China will buy at least another third leav- ing almost 2,000,000 tons to be sold in. the world market, Al- though world market prices are low, this will enable Cuba to have dollars to import necessary transportation, industrial and agricultural equipment. The expected increase in the sugar exports will help to ease the balance of payments deficit, set at $290,000,000 for 1964. The tobacco crop this year is also expected to increase, The government refuses to supply any details. i Staple food crops such as ba- nanas, black beans, rice and vegetables were higher in 1964 than in past years There have been bumper fruit crops in the last of 1964 and the beginning of 1965, specially citrus, For the first time in three years fruits are being sold freely, without a ration card, and are also being coun- tries. Although meat and milk are still rationed in most of the country, in several areas milk is sold freely and the meat ra- tion has been increased. A top government official in the economic planning office says that for the first time since 1961 the downward trend in the economy is being checked and there are signs of a recoy- ery.

Perry and four United States warships arrived in Tokyo Bay 112 years ago today-- in 1853--and presented an ultimatum to the Shogunate to establish diplomatic rela- tions and open one or two ports for trade and. fuelling stations, The ruling elite re- belled against acceptance of, the ultimatum, leading to the resumption of power by the emperor in 1868 and Japan's consequent rapid in- dustrial and military mod- ernization 1807--Treaty of Tilsit was signed, 1930 -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, died. First World War Fifty. years ago today--in 1915--Italian armies pressed forward on the Isonzo front and the capture of 15,000 Austrian prisoners was an- nounced. Second World War Twenty-five years ago lo- day--in 1940 -- about 35,000 British children moved from coastal ports to inland areas as German air raids contin- ued; the first 71 child evac- uees arrived in New York; the Vichy government an- nounced French aircraft had participated in an Axis air raid on Gibraltar two days before. OTTAWA REPORT Shameful Charade Over Press Tax Bill By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Of all the pro- ceedings of the present not very praiseworthy Parliament, the most shameful charade has been its handling of the news- paper and magazine dispute. The nub of this highly signi- ficant issue was Clause 4 of Bill Number C-118, "to amend the Income Tax Act." Clause 4 relates to "Limitation re adver- tising expense." Its significance {is that 'it disallows as an ex- pense, in calculating a corpor- ation's taxable income, all money spent on advertising in publications which are not at least 75 per cent owned by Ca- nadians. The clause then spee- ifically and paradoxically ex- empts two magazines which are widely regarded as U.S. giants camouflaged by a small maple leaf. Backed almost unanimously by newspaper editors, many politicians representative of all political parties vehemently protested against the govern- ment's imposition of a discrim- inatory tax in the hypothetical event that any foreigners buy a Canadian newspaper. UNFAIR TO DISCRIMINATE While this specifically is shocking, the broader implica- tion of this bill is that Cana- dians now accept the proposi- tion that the government may create a subordinate class of Canadian citizens--personal or conporate--against whom puni- tive taxation may be levied whilst exempting their favored siblings. Thus it came about that, at about 3:25 p.m. on Friday, June 25, New Democrat Stanley Knowles spoke for a majority of MPs when he introduced a procedural amendment which would have referred this con- troversial clause back to the committee of the whole house. Friday normally sees a thin at- tendance in the Commons; an- ticipating a vote on such a move that day, I had counted the House 'half an hour after the 11 a.m. opening: Merely 54 Liberals versus 48 MPs of all other stripes were present--out of a membership of 265. By 3:25 in the afternoon, no doubt the weekend trains for Quebec and the Air Canada planes for the West and the erg taken away, as_ usual, free-travelling MPs, peters mere handful to carry on liamentary business. Ho Leader George Mcllraith * doubt feared what a snap vee would achieve and reveal these circumstances, and once adjourned the postpone the vote, So it was on the f Monday, after 5 p.m., when the vote was called, leaving ample time for the week-enders to ré- 5 turn to the capital, All opposi- tion parties. would vote against the minority government. and hence at full strength could de- feat the measure. This would not only halt the Liberals' it- liberal curb on full freedom of the press; it would also, warned Finance Minister Walter Gor» don, lead to the dissolution of parliament and an election. WHERE .WERE COWBOYS? Of 264 MPs who could have voted, only 180 did. The Liber- als, supported only by two dis- senting Socreds and two inde- pendents,. beat the rest of the House by 102 votes to 78, a ma- jority of 24, But the Conserva- tives,.who had so bitterly de- nounced this legislaion, lacked no less than 35 of their num- ber--ample to tip the balance on that vote. To my surprise I noted that even the chief Conservative whip, Eric. Winkler, was not present for this foreseeable vote; further, he had failed to put on the whip to summon his MPs to Ottawa. The chief de- fectors were the Conservative MPs from the west, especially the "Diefenbaker cowboys" from the Prairies. If they had been present to vote with their chief, the government would have been defeated, and their leader would by. now have plunged into the electioneering which seems to provide him with his happiest moments. Why were the cowboys ab- sent? Why did 35 out of the 04 Tory MPs duck the vote which . could have overthrown the Pearson government? Do we now have government-by-black- mail? And is this all that the Conservative -MPs can do to preserve the freedom of our press? at to Soviet Economists Ask Help Of Experts Banned By Stalin By ROBERT EVANS MOSCOW. (Reuters) -- Soviet economists, concerned at the low standards of industrial man- agement here, are calling in the help of industrial psycholo- gists and _ sociologists--banned under Stalin. The managerial side of indus- etry has long been regarded here as little more than a nec- essary evil and treated with extreme parsimony. Economic planners have shown reluctance to allot more than a small pro- portion of a factory's budget to managerial expenses, An article in the newspaper Sovietskaya Rossiya,. by a so- ciolopist at Leningrad Univer- sity's Institute of Complex So- cial Research, says the institute has carried out two factory surveys, based on written ques- tionnaires. One, seeking to establish why trained technicians so fre- quently change jobs, showed on the basis of 11,000 replies that the main reasons were bad management and poor person- nel relations. The other showed that tech- nical and office staff were do- ing up to 22 hours a week un- paid overtime to get through their work because. of bad or- ganization. LACK EQUIPMENT One important handicap is lack of modern office equ ment and refusal of region economic planning councils to sanction its pufchase. One workshop manager said his request for permission to buy an intercom system to con- tact his assistant managers and. foremen was rejected as "arts. tocratic frippery."" He could write out an te for' a lathe costing tens of thousands of rubles, but had to get 'sanction from the planners to buy a typewriter for his of- fice, he complained. The article said the institute plans a complete survey on problems of management, based on one workshop in a large Leningrad factory. Sociological study groups would have to be established in all technical colleges to study ' _ the problems of management at first hand in the factories and apply their conclusions to the training of the future managers the. article said. Farmer Turns Tax Problems Over To Computer In Calgary SEDLEY, Sask. (CP) -- Farmer. Jon Leier wants. fast, accurate answers to the prob- lems he encounters on his 1,160- acre property. He gets them from a compu- ter in Calgary. Mr. Leier turned his farm rec- ords over to the computer in Calgary after a visit by federal income tax assessors showed up inadequacies in his accounting system. Initially, the Calgary compu- ter provided him with three sets of figures: A statement of in- come for 1964, a balance sheet and an analysis of his returns on his grain crops. The crop analysis provided the information Mr. Leier most wanted. "What the crop analysis state- ment told me was that my de- preciation costs. were far too high, something above $8 a cul- tivated acre. "It made me realize I either have to live with these high de- preciation costs, or better yet, add another quarter or half-sec- tion of land to my grain farm to bring those costs into line. NEEDS MORE LAND "I knew when I bought that huge combine last year that it would shove my costs out of proportion, but not to the extent the computer indicated. So now the machinery I have for the farm is too big but there's no land in the immediate area | could acquire. Mr. Leier is putting together records for a similar analysis of his cattle-raising operation, which the computer showed pro- vides him 27.08 per cent of his income. On the basis of the answers he gets, he'll probably make a decision on whther to expand his cattle operation. The computer's information also helps him avoid being: hit for back taxes because he has underestimated his rates of in- come. "I know I can keep the slate clean with the income tax. have a complete idea of how the farm as a whole is going and © my rates of income from grain - and cattle."
