Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Fence-Sitters Revealed B The stri!:e by postal workers last week revealed as fence-sitters many who have influence, claim influence and want influence in Canadian affairs. Their inactivity was de- monstrated not only in the time of emergency but in a long period pre- ceding it. In the fence-sitting category can be found the hierarchy of the Cana- dian Labor Congress, the New Democratic Party and in a sense, the Leader of the Opposition. Al- though in Mr. Diefenbaker's case, his failure to work on behalf of the postal workers while in power was overshadowed by the disservice -- in the rank partisan opportunism he attempted in telling the strikers not to trust the government of Canada. The postal workers have serious grievances over pay and working conditions. Of this there can be no doubt. The basic difficulty con- fronting them has been the lack of effective, legal procedure through which they might remedy their situation. They need better bargain- ing arrangements. The Pearson government has re- cognized the weakness. Tardy Oshawa In An Ontario "Interpol" is being promoted by the provincial police commission to begin the develop- ment of the intelligence network now considered essential to war ef- fectively.on crime. Next month a five-day criminal intelligence semi- nar will be held at the Ontario Po- lice College near Aylmer. : One of' the prominent speakers will be a Detroit chief of detectives, an authority on organized crime in the United States. He'll discuss the value and workings of criminal in- telligence co-operation among police forces. RCMP experts will lecture on counterfeiting, narcotics syndi- eates, commercial: alcohol smug- gling. Other lectiirers will be mem- bers of the Toronto and Montreal police forces.

The pressure of those who claim influence can often speed the process. It is in this respect, the stock of the socialist and the CLC leaders seems to have. slipped sadly. CLO president Jodoin moved into promin- ence only in the latter days of the strike. NDP spokesmen have been strangely silent throughout. At their convention the socialist leaders prated about the need for "a network of measures which will cover every individual at all stages of life and in all stages of living'. In the wefare field, they're talking about measures which to a large degree have already been enacted. If the New Democratic Party is the party of the workers it claims to be, and if it has the national in- terest it also claims it would have been pressing persistently for better labor - management co- operation which could prevent such sad plights as that of the postmen. Interpol ? provincial police, Success in such a project is seen as an important breakthrough in criminal intelli- gence work. ; Such a system of close co-opera- tion is rated vital to the curbing of crime.

No mention is made to date of Oshawa representation. While we may consider ourselves fortunate in not being classed a centre of serious crime. Oshawa could still benefit from being represented.

WASHINGTON CALLING ERAN Pettit sesso QUEEN'S PARK eee 'Naming' Deplored If Political Practice -- By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- One practice prevalent across the border but never followed here, and in the minds of many people to the credit of the government, has been that of naming roads, buildings, tunnels, canals, gar- dens and everything but the stamp mechine after politicians --living, breathing, and usually second-grade, politicians. Ontario Hydro has been the one arm with even a remote connection with the government here which has indulged in this pat-ine-back. Hydro has been "naming its plants for a num- ber of years, And Hydro was frowned on for so indulging it- self". Leslie Frost was premier during the day of most of the Hydru namings. And Mr. Frost didn't like it. He didn't like .it to the extent of interfering with Hydro and stopping it. But it was well known that he used to go into a quiet burn every time he saw Hydro naming something after one of its officials or a con- tractor. Other branches- of govern- ment._have never gone in for "naming." NODEN CAUSEWAY Until recently the closest we have come to such indulgence in publicity has been in using the name of the premier and the minister concerned in new building projects. Shortly after the Robarts gov- ernment took office, signs on new tighway construction jobs began carrying the message that Mr. Robarts was premier Abbey Entwined With History Of England For By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP) -- In a quiet ivy - covered building adjoining Westminster Abbey, prepara- tions are under way for an an- niversary celebration that in length and scope will dwarf all others in a year packed with landmarks of English history. On Dec. 28 it will be 900 years since. Edward the Confessor founded the Abbey where every English sovereign from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth II has been crowned. No church in the land is so entwined with England's his- tory. Not only have kings and queens been crowned, married and buried there but the Ab- bey's chapter house, a vautted octagonal chamber with a 700- year-old floor of worn russet- colored tiles, is where the Gom- mons met in the earliest paria- ments. Anniversary celebrations will go on for a full year, until Dec. 28, 1966. The Dean of Westmin- ster, Dr. Eric S. Abbott, has chosen a theme of One People to convey the idea of the Abbey as a symbol of the unity of man- kind. Outlining his plans at a recent dinner, the dean said the idea was to make the heritage of the past a living thing in the present, and he talked of "build- ing for the next 100 years." This main theme will .be di- vided into sections, each marked by special services and exhibitions in the chapter house. These will include a service for. members of Parliament, one on the theime of the two cultures-- seience and the arts--one for stage entertainers and one for the 21st anniversary of United Nations HONOR POETS Distinguished actors will give readings from the works of po- ets buried in the Abbey's. famed Poets' Corner and there will be a week's Homage to Music dur- ing next May. A specially com- missioned drama may also be performed in the nave. The post office is to issue a commemorative stamp and 900 specially designed and num- bered Spode plates will be on Sale in the Abbey. The Queen and Royal Family are expected to attend some of the services during the year. Westminster Abbey has a spe- cial relationship with the Crown because it is a Royal Peculiar, a church that comes under the jurisdiction of the Queen, not the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Abbey shares this distinc- the and Charles MacNaughton High- ways Minister. And similarly with new buildings under Pub- lic Works minister Ray Connell, But now there is a breake through. A new causeway, lead- ing into Fort Frances has been named the "Noden Causeway." The member for Rainy River is William Noden, It is said in a shame-faced explanation that the causeway is being named after Mr. Noden's late father Sam Noden. But everyone knows that if William G. didn't happen to be the member Mr. Sam would hardly be memorialized in a causeway. And the people in the area hardly are apt to connect the causeway with the progenitor of the present Progressive Conser- vative member. MUST REGRET: If there must be such "nam- ing' the member for Fort Frances probably deserves it as well as any private member in the house. Since he came here in 1951 he has fought stubbornly and sin- gle-mindedly for a Lakehead-- Fort Frances highway, of which this causeway is a key part. But still, even with this, you must regret that there is now this new practice in our poli- ties. It means that a bit of dignity has gone. A touch of bad taste has been allowed to creep in. And bad taste in the end means poorer government, as it means poorer quality in every other area of life.

ABBEY CHANGED Over the centuries bits have been added and restored until today the famous building, its 18th-century west towers just emerging in pale splendor from the London soot, is nothing like Henry's medieval design. Restoration of the outside stonework, a never-ending busi- ness, has been going on since Sir Christopher Wren began the job in 1688. For the last 19 years, carpen- ters and masons have been working continuously, inside and out, replacing worn stones --in mason's language stones that have "gone to sleep"--re- gilding the carved woodwork and. scrubbing the walls, roof and pillars of the naye with blocks of pumice.

Last Wednesday's 45-minute televised performance was the greatest since "East Lynne" During his first year in' office Johnson tried out styles of press conference the way a woman tries on hats, and rejected most of them. He never used the big state department auditorium, scene of Kennedy's triumphs, because he knew any comparisons with the dead leader would be odious. WHOLE FAMILY He invited reporters into his office, with and without cam- eras; he held forth 'in his back- yard in Texas; he led the press on exhausting 'death marches" around and around the White House -- and there was the once -- only family press confer- ence to which we brought our wives and kids, who drank pink lemonade and dropped eign cookies on the lawn.

He will never fail you, his LBJ became the most acces- sible president and one of the most irritating. He held "hack- ground" briefings at which he rambled for hours without. pro- ducing much news. The rule was that he could not be quoted and, as far as the readers were con- cerned, the meetings never. took place. But these glimpses of the real LBJ drifted into the polluted stream of Washington cocktail gossip and finally into print. And the picture they gave of the President was upsetting. LBJ is an earthy Texan in speech and habits. His rages are legendary -- one lasted for six hours. He is a slave driver to his staff, who are expected to love him for it He is impatient and domin- fering, as Prime Minister Pear- sw has discovered, business and hang up the tele- phone on him, : : He once spat whisky over an aide who brought him bourbon instead of his favorite scotch. He has surprised cabinet minis- ters and senators by inviting them to continue conversation with him in the White House bathroom or take a nude swim in the White House (indoor) pool. Last month, discontent with Johnson's personal manner boiled over in a series of news- paper attacks, Shortly afterward, he replac- ed his press secretary, George Reedy, with his bright young personal assistant.

LESS SECRECY Moyers: knows what goes on and has the authority to tell -- habit of cancelling a move if the ress finds out about it before e can announce it himself. Neither Moyers nor any other official spokesman can be ex- pected to tell the whole truth or even nothing but the truth, but he has made a good start, So began the orchestration of last Wednesday's announcement 'that the U.S. would plunge deep- "er into the war in Viet Nam. There were reliable reports that he planned to declare a state of national emergency or ask congress to declare war on North Viet Nam, But what followed was LBJ at his best -- reassuring, move ing, corny, sincere. However, his statement puts American considerably deeper in the Viet . mess and contains no promisees that it will not go all the way into an Asian: land war, OFF-SHORE EXPLORATION West Coast Links Economy Increasingly With Far East By TOM CARNEY VANCOUVER (CP)--lIn. trade circles here you occasionally hear someone talking about British Columbia becoming a "New Manchuria" or even "'nip- pon Columbia." Although uttered in jest, the remarks serve to underline the fact that this province is link- ing its economy increasingly. to the Far East, notably Japan. During a trade mission to To- kyo, Premier Bennett told his hosts "the Pacific Ocean is a bridge, not a barrier, between us."" Traffic over the bridge is in- creasing at a phenomenal rate, Exports to Japan through B.C, ports have doubled in four years --from $137,900,000 in 1960 to $272,000,000 in 1964. Government officials are confident they will be nearly $300,000,000 this year. Japan is, of course, an old customer for British Columbia's raw materials. But the relatively new element is Japanese invest- ment in Canadian firms, one that is taking on gigantic pro- portions. Pressured by the growing de- mands of their manufacturing empires, the Japanese seem in- creasingly eager to step in where cautious Canadian capitalists hesitate. And they have met with ac- tive encouragement from B.C.'s industrial and business commu- nity. Premier Bennett has said it would be politically and eco- nomically unwise to permit the province to remain a mere sup- plier of raw materials, adding that joint Canadian - Japanese investment would develop B.C.'s secondary industry and result in mutual benefits. "The Japanese have had an enormous rise in gross national product and full employment and now they're havingrising wages and other costs as well. "We pointed out to them that because of our resources and hydro power, it would pay them to fabricate more things in B.C. to help fight their own inflation- ary pressures. "We're anxious to have inves- tors in B.C. who are also cus- tomers of ours. We must invest with a (built-in) market because otherwise in a time of glut they would keep our stuff on the shelves. But they're not going to turn away from us because they would be turning away from their own investors--so it's a partnership," Initially Japanese inves- tors confined themselves to de- velopment of mineral resources with the objecting of guarantee- ing supplies of raw materials for established manufacturing plants in Japan. The B.C. de- partment of industry lists 19 mines 'reported to have re- ceived financial assistance from Japan or those that have been TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 3, 1965 Eugene Aram, an English schoolmaster, went on trial 206 years ago today--in 1759 --at York, for the murder in 1745 of. a friend, Daniel Clark. At that time Aram had been suspected but there was no evidence even that Clark: was dead. In 1758 a man called Houseman led the authorities to Clark's body, and Aram was there- after found guilty and hanged. At the time of his conviction he had been mak- ing philological researches which anticipated the' find- ings of much later scholars. 1610--Henry Hudson dis- covered Hudson "Bay. 1847 -- Quebec, Montreal, Toronto and Buffalo were connected by telegraph.

But recently Japanese inter- ests have turned from primary mineral deposits to secondary investments. Japanese money is behind two proposed B.C. pulp mills, a whaling operation and a wire rope factory being built near Vancouver. A decade ago there was only one Vancouver office operated by a Japanese company. Today there are a couple of dozen. Some executives commute weekly between Tokyo and Van- couver. . Government officials frankly admit they don't know just how much money Japanese investors have poured into B.C: But there 'is general agreement that the total could reach a billion dol- lars within the next 10 years. The impact is being felt far beyond the Rockies. Japanese firms make huge purchases of Prairie grain which is resold to other Asian peoples. A Japan- ese company is involved in the big Pine Point lead development in the Northwest Territories. In Nova Scotia, W. D. Sam- uels, president of the Canadian Motor Industries, has announced plans for construction of a $4,000 000 auto manufacturing and as- sembly plant near Sydney, the first built by a Japanese com- pany in North America. Russ Patrick, Alberta's minis- ter of industry, has said "'sev- eral partnerships" between Ca- nadian and Japanese firms are in the offing. Some 16 trade mis- sions from Japan have visited Edmonton in the Jast year to discuss Alberta business .oppor- tunities. Mitsubishi. interests range from heavy industry, shipbuild- ing and engineering to oils, met- als, chemicals, paper, glass, ce- ment, a brewing firm, ware- housing, auto manufacturing, a bank, an insurance company and a trust, It employs 80,000 workers in heavy industries alone. Elichi Kodama, manager of the Vancouver office of Mitsu- bishi International Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary incorp- porated in New York, says it is involved in the export of Cana- dian flax, wheat and other agri- cultural produce, It has guaranteed sales con- tracts for ore concentrates from Canadian mines of "well over $300,000,000," Mr. Kodama says, adding that one contract, for iron ore from the Falconbridge mine at Tasu in the Queen Charlotte Islands, calls for an- nual shipments worth $10,000,000 a year for 10 years, The $22,000,000 lead mine at Pine Point is a joint venture of Mitsubishi and the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Can- ada, and it built a lead smelter in Japan specifically for smelt- ing Pine Point ore. er ee ee de hie 4 OTTAWR_REPORT.

The presi- dent of the Alberta Paddlers As- sociation, speaking at the Klon- dike Days dinner in Edmonton at the close of the race, credited Bob Thompson with possibly saving the lives of seven pad- dilers whom he pulld out of the turbulent fleod-swollen waters of the Saskatchewan River, He cracked his ribs when, trying to free an overturned canoe from a log-jam in mid-current, a wave knocked him off the jam and threw him against the canoe. BANK INTEREST. RATES Did you know that govern- ment inaction is costing you money on your savings account at your bank? If the govern- ment had heeded the major recommendations of the recent Porter Royal Commission on Banking, it would have raised the limit of six per cent which banks may charge as interest on loans. In contrast, finance companies and others are not so restricted, and charge inter- est at anything from 12 to 27 per cent. If banks were per- mitted to charge more than six per cent, they could afford to pay depositors more than the present interest of three per cent. This comment, which des serves public study, was made by Senator Wally McCutcheon in a recent speech. THANKS FOR LETTERS Many readers have written te me about my recent reference to the United Church Observer, and its observations about cap- ital punishment. I am grateful for so many comments from readers, and have enjoyed read- . ing their letters, It seems that a get - together between the members and the leaders of the United Church would be even stormier than an annual meet- ing of the Conservative Party. DON'T YAK AT YANKS "In consultations with the United States, Canadian auth orities must have confi dence that the practice of quiet dip- lomacy is not only neighborly and convenient to the United States, but that it is in fact more effective than the alterna- tive of raising a row and being unpleasant in public," This outspoken advice to our federal government is contained in the Principles for Partner- ship drawn up and just released by Arnold Heeney, twice Cana- dian ambassador to U.S., and Livingston Merchant, twice U.S. ambassador to Canada. Ot- tawa is wondering whether Mike Pearson's longtime friends drafted this before or after he "raised a row" by of- fering unwelcomed advice to President Johnson in a public speech in the U.S. about bomb: ing North Viet Nam?

On the sixth and seventh days of the week, Saturday and Sun- day, it shrugs off some of its inertia as gamblers from Hong Kong, 40 miles to the west, scramble ashore from ferries and hydrofoils, and head hope: fully for the two casinos and the Greyhound race track.
