The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 26, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Key Federal Promise In Medicare Program Prime Minister Pearson is being credited with a considerable legis- lative victory, one of undeniable vote-getting potential, in obtaining near-unanimous acceptance in prin- ciple of the federal medicare pro- posal. : His success can be judged not on the evidence of enthusiastic sup- port but rather on the lack of wide- spread, strenuous objection on an issue encompassing s0 many con- flicting opinions. Premier Manning was the only holdout but the fact that Alberta federal taxes will help finance such a plan will place him fn a political dilemma too. Actually. the Pearson proposal has left to the provinces much of the initiative and certainly the total administrative role. The federal position is such as to maintain na- tional standards and transferable coverage. Yet while at the outset the plan seems a good workable compromise, it would be foolhardy indeed to consider medicare an ac- complished service. There'll be many months of rugged debate and rang- ling before the details are ham- mered out. The health ministers' conference in September will see only the beginning. Only the most optimistic expect the plan can be in operation by the July 1967 dead- line, Apart from the provincial pre- ferences in plans, there'll be the opinions of the men who'll provide the service to be closely considered, They should -- and undoubtedly will -- have a great deal to say in the shaping of the national pro- gram. The question they have already raised is a serious one. They have pointed out the necessity of having the medical staffs trained to pro- vide the service which will be re- quired, They have asked Ottawa where and how the trained medical practitioners are to. be found to make the medicare program work, With the supply of medical men now practising in Canada already severely taxed by present demands, the extra load medicare is bound to bring present a crucial problem, The prime minister has promised a federal fund to aid in research and training and construction of hos- pitals, medical schools and other vital facilities. It is a commitment to which Ottawa should give im- mediate attention. Shopping Cart Junket Big as Texas is, President John- gon could hardly extend a "Y'all tome down to the ranch" invitation to Canadians to discuss strategy for our wars on poverty. Instead he has apparently sent one of his advisers north to talk to Canadian about the problems of the poor. She is Mrs. Esther Peterson and she has told the Consumers Asso- elation of Canada that the poor pay more for food. One of the reasons, she said, is that often they don't live close to a supermarket. To the mass production and modern dis- tribution methods is given the credit for doing probably more than anything else to bring down prices and raise North America's material standard of living.

If Mr. Gordon brings in a regula- tion that increases the costs to manufacturers and puts prices up or makes it difficult to bring them down), Mr. Kent should protest most vigorously. The poor want lower not higher prices. If any. government any level level legislates to make it more difficult for the storekeepers, it constitutes firing on the countries allies in the war 'on poverty. As a shopping cart junket would quickly convince Mr. Kent, modern manufacturing and merchandising represent two strong supporters as he wages war on poverty, Other Editors' Views CAPITAL GAINS TAX One of Canada's major attrac- tions to foreign investors is the ab- sence of a capital gains tax. How much longer this condition will ex- ist is open to question. There was talk before the last budget that a capital gains tax would be intro- duced. It wasn't. But that doesn't rule out the possibility that it will be introduced in the next budget. Canada needs foreign capital to maintain its growth. Finance Min- ister Gordon, though, has already demonstrated his willingness to jeo- pardize the inflows of foreign capi- tal to satisfy his excessively na- tionalistic outlook.

This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Trois - Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste--Washington has a funny conception of Canadian sover- eignty. Our country, for our neighbors to the south, is at most a Satellite... . This is the doctrine that. emerges from a recent pub- lic report to the effect that Ot- tawa should abstain from making public its differences with Washington. This simply means Canada must renounce her independ- ence and submit to the dic- tates of the White House. Mr. Pearson and his government cannot accept such an attitude without coming promptly un- der the feudal rule and mercy of the United States. From there. to slavery is a short step. We know only too well how badly Washington looks on Canada's refusal to conform with U.S. views in. interna- tional matters like the Viet Nam conflict. The cold water President Johnson recently threw oo Brime Pearson and External Affairs Minister Martin verged on rudeness, even scorn, The im- mense» vanity of President , Johnson and American imma- turity in known. One need only quote the re- port of Ambassadors Arnold Heeney of Canada and Living- ston Merchant of the United States to realize what attitude prevails in Washington: *. . . It is important that Canadian authorities have a special regard for the situation of the American government ir, this world context (i.e. the heavy responsibilities of the United States as 'leader of the free woyld') and avoid public disagreement as much as pos- sible, particularly on criticial questions." For the United States it amounts to telling. Canada to button its lip... . Eventually even the newspapers and me- dia of information of the coune try would have nothing to say in criticism of what the Amer- icans decide (July 16) these matters are Ottawa Le Droit--Constitu- tonaliy: Ottawa @ontrels the Eskimos, Opposition Leader Diefenbaker recalled as Que- bec and Ottawa announced settlement of their dispute over the Quebec north and its Eskimos. He is right. He is right because the con- stitution says so, but we know very well that the constituion has to be made over from top to bottom, At the time of Con- federation, when the provinces left Ottawa the authority over Eskimos, they did so because they had no choice. Since then things have changed. New tax - sharing deals and new means of trans- port have made the north ac- cessible to all, and it is only logical that the provinces as- sume their whole responsibil- ity throughout their territory in Civil rights and education. When, following the example of Arthur Laing, the northern affairs minister, whose nar- row-mindedness is obvious, the leader of the opposition plays the pure democrat and says no decision about 'the Eskimos should be taken without the interested parties being con- sulted, we can only smile. i & Gem Ge of them pass over to the French- speaking group. more than from respect for their human pride that he speaks that way. It. would be interesting to see Messrs, Laing and Diefen- the central government gave attention to the Eskimos--well after French - speaking mis- sionaries had already done so --it asked them whether they preferred to study English or French. In. fact, it imposed English on them from the Start... The constitution, we must repeat, has to be rewritten, As for people's right to self- determination, it is hardly likely that the -government of Quebec, which has always treated the English-speaking minority with such generosity, will act-meanly toward the Es- kimo minority. If the Eskimos preter Eng- lish, French will not be forced upon them, but there is no reason Quebec should not of- fer them the choice of the two official languages, pointing out to them. that they live in a French province, That is something Ottawa never did.

At the root of the increased demand are the burgeoning petro-chemical industry of Al- berta, potash developments in Saskatchewan and a variety of new industries in Manitoba, New pulp operations proposed for both Alberta and Saskatche- wan also will require water. Added to the increased indus- trial needs are demands for ad- ditional water to irrigate farm- land in Alberta and Saskatche- wan and higher domestic de- mands in growing urban cen- tres, Pollution control is a_ vital problem in the heavily - popu- lated region of southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba, Regina, a city of 125,000, must pipe in two-thirds of its water supply, The Prairies are the most arid of Canada's settled' re- gions. They look westward and northward in hopes of finding a new water tap, but these moves are complicated by a tangle of conflicting jurisdictions, B.C, OBJECTS Water resources belong to the provinces, The federal jur- isdiction extends to navigable and international waters and rivers in the northern territor- jes. The federal government has moved to help co-ordinate wa- ter resource development, es- pecially along rivers which flow through two or more provinces. For several years Saskatche- wan has pressed for diversion YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Citizens of Oshawa mourned the death of Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, who served Canada as its Prime Minister for over 21 years and five months. It was the longest of any prime minister in the his- tory of the British Common- wealth. Dr. A. F. Mackay, medical officer of health, urged the use of fluorine in city water. 30 YEARS AGO July 26, 1935 William Hare, prominent Osh- awa Mason, was appointed 'a Grand. Steward of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Prov- ince of Ontario, Over 6,000 local citizens at- tended a monster zarcden party held by the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion at Alexan- dra Park. ; of water across the Rocky Mountains from British Colum- bia. The suggestions prompted Premier W, A, C. Bennett of B.C, to say Saskatchewan should "keep its cotton-picking fingers" off B.C,'s water re- sources, While Mr. Bennett and Al- berta officials suggest hydro developments are the prime in- terests behind Manitoba and Saskatchewan demands for di- version of B.C, water, the two eastern provinces say: "Diversion would be too ex- pensive for domestic, munici- pal, stock - water, irrigation, mining or industrial purposes alone, The economic feasibility would turn on the multiple use of water, including use for power generation," Neston Mudry, director of planning for the Manitoba water control and conservation branch, said recently present water supplies will not be suffi- cient to meet Manitoba needs for 1990, Fifteen per cent of the sur- face area of Manitoba is water, but it is poorly distributed, Ir- rigation will have to be more widely used if Manitoba's agri- cultural economy is to expand and more water must be found to accomplish this, EASIEST METHOD From an engineering stand- point the easiest way to obtain extra water is to import it from the South Saskatchewan resery- oir via the Qu'Appelle and As- siniboine rivers, which rise in southeastern Saskatchewan, join just east of the Manitoba border and flow through south- ern Manitoba before joining the Red and emptying into Lake Winnipeg. ( Saskatchewan's position is awkward because its main riv- ers start and end in other prov- inces, Its young potash indus- try, which the government says eventually will mean as much to Saskatchewan as oil has meant to Alberta, requires large water supplies, Potash plants using a solution method to extract minerals -- flushing potash to the. surface--can use .as much water in a day as a city of 70,000, More than 90 per cent of the Prairies' population lives within the Saskatchewan - Nelson Ri- ver basin, an area of 264,960,000 acres extending from the Rock- ies to northwestern Ontario and from the Athabasca and Churchill. rivers in the north to the international border in the south, The Saskatchewan River has two main branches which rise within one-half mile of each other on the eastern slopes of (the Rockies north of Banff, It Yidws eastward across Alberta and Saskatchewan and empties Winnines. The Nelson River carries water from Lake Winnipeg northward into Hud- ues Ray. into Lake The purpose of the Canadian visit to Russia, Hon, Art Laing tells me, was to see in detail and at first hand how -- and why--the Russians live in their arctic regions. He came back deeply impressed, Conservative in his daily reactions and choice of words, the Liberal minister went so far as to predict that "Russia's development of Si- hberia may be as significant to the future of mankind as the development of Africa," MAN NEEDS LIVING ROOM The reason for Art Laing's enthusiasm stems from the threatening popu lation explo- sion, The largest unsettled land areas in our world are in the arctic, especially on Canadian and Russian territory, The greatest known undeveloped sources of mineral wealth lie there, To a world which, within the lifetime of our children, will be desperately short of land and minerals, the arctic must be immensely important, Art Laing saw concrete--re- inforced concrete -- evidence that Russia is in some ways as far ahead of us.in arctic 'ive ing, as we are ahead of our sod - hut grandfathers on the Prairies, Frobisher Bay, In Baffin Is- land, on the 69th parallel of Jati- QUEEN'S PARK tude, is perhaps our most ad- vanced community deep in the arctic, The United States Air Force created and enjoyed @ tolerable standard of material comfort there; but also at Fro- cbisher I saw, three years, a community of less than 3, Eskimoes and Canadians livin: part in ecariboo skin tents an part in prefabricated wooden houses shipped from Montreal, In contrast, Art Laing saw the Russian city of Norilsk on the same latitude, where a popula- tion of 100,000 live in new six- and eight - storey apartment buildings made of locally-manu- factured bricks and reinforced concrete, : Norilsk is built around a huge complex of copper-nickel mines and coal mines, It was origin- ally a slave Jabor camp, but after Stalin's death, it was devel- oped as a modern community with a highly - paid voluntary work force, WHY CAN'T CANADA DO IT? At Bratsk, a new city on the same latitude as Saskatchewans La Ronge, Art Laing saw the huge new forest complex, an integrated cellulose plant cover- ing 130 acres, and powered by the largest hydro-electric dam in the world, It would seem that we have the same opportunities as Rus- sia to develop our arctic; may- be we lack the organizational imagination to plan it and the incentive to work it, On the human side, the min- ister saw evidence that men and women can live and work in health and comfort in areas and under conditions which Ca- nadians now reject, This poses the question why, for instance, our rich iron ore is shipped almost raw out of Labrador to the U.S, Why does not that mineral wealth support a city of 100,000 well-paid work- -- ers processing the local natural wealth, as happens in Norilsk? Medicare Question Social Or Welfare? By DON O'HEARN TORONTO --Is medical In- surance a social need or a wel- fare need? If this were clearly decided there could be a lot less confu- sion, and controversy, than there is at present, on this ques- tion : Most people favor medicare in some form, But not too many know just what they want, and particularly why they want it, WHY GOVERNMENT? Why should 'government do anything at all about medical insurance, First because our society has reached the stage of maturity where we can't tolerate disaster or unnecessary tragedy in the community, We have long had welfare pro- tection: so that nobody shall starve or go unhoused, Then we have taken it as a responsibility of society that everyone shall have a minimum of health protection without great financial shock, We have done this through hospital insurance, which is largely paid for with public funds, And in which, of course, indigents are covered, Now we have advanced to the stage where we have agreed that medical care also should be a concern of the state, HO FAR? But how far should it go? On this point we are confused, If we are to regard it as a so- BIBLE And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side, Then were the dis- ciples glad, when they saw the Lord, -- John 20:20, Christ showed them His hands and His side, And by that they knew that it was He, Does our life show any Christian charac. teristics by which to prove we are His disciples? Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified, ~-- Mat. 27:22. The same question Pilate ask- ed is still with us and everyone must give his own personal an- swer to it. Cs coail need then the over-all come munity must share the burden, One man's burden is every> body's burden, Everyone, through compulsory insurance, pays the same amount for es- sential medical care, But if we are to look on it as a welfare need the condition is different, ; Then all that society basically provides is the opportunity for everyone to secure his own pro- tection, The community doesn't accept a burden except for indigents. And some way or other it would end up paying for them anyway, The burden remains with the individual, Society just makes sure he can buy insurance through ordering that it must be available to him, The proposed federal pro- gram largely recognizes medl- care as a social need, through providing that much of the cost would be paid through public funds, thus sharing the costs across the community, Our Ontario program has been largely keyed to welfare need, only recognizing social need in the subsidy it would give to low-income groups, And the decision between these lies on whether we should now all pool the costs of sick: ness in the interests of the com- munity and a better society, POINTED PARAGRAPHS An educator says some way should be found to increase the vocabulary of the average American, Perhaps this could be done by persuading comic strip artists, sports writers and lovelorn columnists to increase their vocabularies, For two reasons men with eye trouble shouldn't take vaca- tions at the beach resorts.
