She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian ect ab Limited 86 Kine St. E., Oshawa, Onta' T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 1963 -- PAGE 4 Regional Differences Should Be Recognized Whatever further workers may decide to will keep rippling through the Can- -adian economy for some time to "come. One estimate is that the pay increases in the strike settlement can cost taxpayers $130 million over the next few years. Subsequent increases in the blue- collar group of civil servants who'll be requesting boosts in ratio with postal employees' can total $30 mil- lion. Armed forces pay rates are based on those of the civil service. To bring them in line can cost an- other $20 million. Then, fringe bene- fits climb along with higher pay. For pensions alone, the estimate is this could mean another $40 million in the civil service fund and some $30 million into the military pen- sion fund. As was the case with the postal workers, further pay increases for other civil service workers could also be overdue and will have to be taken in stride by the taxpayer. With the collective bargaining legis- lation the prime minister has pledg- ed proper parallels should be achiev- ed without country-wide dislocation of essential services, Yet, as The Financial Post has pointed out, there is. still one seri- ous: hazard Ottawa will have to hurdle if collective bargaining is to operate smoothly and fairly. It is the recognition of regional pay dif- ferences. A national pay rate now exists, A man in Calgary receives the same pay as a man doing the same job in the Maritimes, so does the man in Oshawa or Regina, On the surface this may seem a fair system but when the differences in living costs are considered--which they must be--it is not. For the same job, the man in Moncton is being paid too much or the man in Oshawa far too little. To reconcile this very real spread in regional labor rates and living costs, Ottawa must surely make adequate provision if its new civil service legislation is to prove suc- cessful. Talent In Canada, Too The Beatles are coming to Toronto and the drums of promotion are beating a raucous din of excitement and enthusiasm. But who needs it? Certainly not those four shaggy knights of the realm. They've got it made. By dropping in unannounced at a Courtice hamburger 'stand they'd precipitate a riot of frenzied fans in short order. However there is talent in Can- ada which does need promotion and needs it badly. As The Sudbury Star asks, where are the Canadian pro- moters searching out the real talent waiting to be discovered in this country ? The Oshawa Times L. WILSON, Publisher a c Rooke Genera! G. 3.

The voices of these fine choristers will be heard in five major English churches--including London's famous Westminster Ab- bey. Britons, who have the world's best musicians at their fingertips, are reported to. be enthusiastic about the Canadian choir. But do any Canadian promoters go racing after the choir to sign them up for a Canadian tour? Or does the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation go knocking on the door to invite the choir to a series of national radio and television pro- grams? Canada is "loaded" with talent that compares favorably with "im ports" and, in some cases, is among the world's best. Readers can think of people who took their talent to Britain or the United States to earn wide acclaim. It is sometimes said there is no "opportunity" in this country for talented young Canadians. It may be more to the truth that Canada lacks promoters with vision and courage to get talented people into the limelight. They prefer, instead, to look to "big names" in other countries, While wheat sales to Russia have turned world attention to the grain the recent ee TL i DLL nn "THE LAND OF THE MAPLE LEAF fields of Saskatchewan. the Prairie Province attraction most photographed by tour- ists in the provincial Legis- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS August 16, 1965...

Nee all things, mae FRENCH CANADIAN OPINIONS . . . FROM QUEBEC EDITORS Role Of Supreme Court Critical This is a selection of ed- ltorials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. le Journal de Montreal-- Premier Lesage has refused to recognize the competence of the Supreme Court of Can- ada to resolve the federal-pro- vincial conflict over offshore mineral rights. This once again brings into focus the question of what general role the Supreme Court is to play in our national life. Of all the points of conflict now at issue between the federal govern- ment and the provinces, this question is by far the most serious The chief objection of the provinces to the court is that it is a creation of' the federal parliament under the British North America Act. Again, it was Parliament that made it the court of last resort when in 1949 the legislators ended the taking of appeals to the Privy Council in London, The provinces also say that judges appointed by the federal gov- ernment might possibly show a sort of sympathy for the federal side in considering constitutional questions Quebec itself is conscious of being in a minority on the court, having a right to three seats out of nine It's been said that the court would be better thought of if certain of its members were ap- pointed directly by the prov- inces. In fact, in 1949 it was proposed that Quebec should appoint four judges but sup- port for the proposal was ieee treme rn Issue lacking and Mr. Lesage was one of those who supported Prime Minister St. Laurent in its defeat. . . . The present conflict is infinitely regret- table, for it can only lessen the court's prestige without providing any worthwhile so- lution worthy of public confi- dence. -- Jean Charpentier, (Aug. 5) Montreal Le Devoir--in the complex and, for the for eigner, confused debate which has been going on in Greece for a fortnight, at least one thing is clear: this is more than a political crisis; it is the crisis of a whole system. Former Premier Papan- dreou has, at least indirectly, encouraged hostility to the monarchy among his partisans by. constantly keeping the pal- ace and the people at odds throughout the crisis. If there have been plots, they seem to have arisen in both camps. Some members of the new government have tried to prove that Papan- dreou's family planned the whole crisis, welcoming it if not provoking it; the ex-premi- er's faithful, on the other hand, attribute Papan- dreou's dismissal to the mat- ign influence of Queen Mother Frederika on her son King _ Constantine. Her taste for pol- itics has often been pointed out. In the crisis the personal- ity clash has become an ideo- logical one, with the sover- eign, in defending himself, de- fending also political conserv- atism and right-wing currents in the army, and Papandreou playing the part of progres- sive spokesman, even accept- ing extreme-left support. And there is the purely con- Stitutional aspect of the crisis, the former prime minister and his partisans saying the king "'merely reigns" and ex- ceeded his powers while other circles say both tradition and constitution empower the sov- ereign to act as he did. One way or the other, the monarchy, already pushed. into a corner immediately after the war, is likely to pay for the crisis if it is not soon settled. The young king will need a lot of skill to spare his country a long period of azi- tation or even of civil war and to consolidate one of the scarce European thrones that survive. -- Jean-Marc Leger, (Aug. 4) Montreal .Metro-Express--I recently had occasion to speak with Haitian exiles who left their island, their families and their property to escape the yoke of Papa-Doc Haiti, that small West In- dian republic which shares an island with Santo Domingo, has, of course, been run since 1957 by a veterinarian, Fran- cois Duvalier, who has created unified support -- by extermi- © nating his opponents, A radi- cal method indeed The bloody repression which rules in Haiti is mo secret, even if the world closes its eyes . to it. There was a massive intervention of ma rines in Santo Domingo in the face of the threat of 50-odd Communists, but Duvalier en- joys tolerance abroad. The exiles demonstrated the strength of the potentate by saying that the Communist menace is at present non- existent. Mr. Duvalier, to con- trol the Marxists, has an- nexed them, Fhere may even be some in the Haitian cabi- nel. Only the Communist party, with its organization and tech- nicians, could replace the fine Francois in the event of a revolution in Haiti.

The United States fears Du- valier will be replaced by his Communist friends--Cuba and Santo Domingo 'are close re- minders to the state depart- ment of possible Marxists con- sSequences--and hence is un- likely to intervene, And unfortunately for Haiti, the UN and the Organization of American States have other lands to look after than this sad countty where life could be so pleasant.--Boris V.

Figures for the last decade show this pattern applies to the entire alien population of the U.S. They also show that among the alien population, Canada is second only to Mexico among countries of origin. Each January, all aliens who are living in the U.S: must reg- ister with the immigration de- partment This year 3,393,209 registered, an increase of 770,747 over 1956. Of the total, 631,138 were Mex- icans and 365,252 Canadians. By U.S. definition, aliens fall into two 'categories -- immi- grants who apply for perma- nent residence, and non-immi- grants who include students, temporary workers and foreign journalists. Tourists are not covered by alien statistics. In the 1965 registration, there were 3,024,278 aliens who were permanent residents and 368,931 non-immigrants. It's possible to live in the U.S. indefinitely as an alien without taking out citizenship papers and many: do this. The chief requisite for citizenship, aside from good character and the like, is five years of residence in the country When the first alien registra- YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO August 16, 1950 W. A.

By 1964, California had risen to 23 per cent, New York had 18.2, Texas 7.4, Illinois 6.1, Flor- ida 5.3 and New Jersey 5.2. The order of the top six remained unchanged this. year. There are 91,733 Canadians registered in California, where the climate is a major attrac- tion, and 40,000 - odd in New York and Michigan, the next two most popular Canadian choices. In 1959 the number of Cana- dians registering as aliens was 312,851, or 53,000 fewer than last January. Before 1959 Canadian aliens were lumped with Britons in the annual reports. However, records show 306,- 446 Canadians were admitted to the U.S. as immigrants in the 10 years up to June 30, 1964. And they also show that 110,059 Canadians became U.S, citizens in that period. But while the number of Ca- nadians moving to the U.S. has been rising gradually, there has been a general -decline in the number taking out naturaliza- papers. In 1955, for example 23,091 Canadians settled in the U.S. and 18,151 others. became citi- zens. In 1960 the number ad- mitted was 30,990 while 10,215 became citizens. there were 38,074 admitted while the number who became citizens was down to 9,479.

Typically, Jim Walker, the popular and able 54 - year - old chief whip of the Liberal party, recently sent out a question- naire to 68,000 homes in his Toronto constituency of York Centre. He tells me that he is pouring into Hil office, but equatly-stunned by some of the = added ~ of my questionnaire is its popu. larity among my constituents," he told me. "Many of them stress how glad they are to be in direct 'touch, for the first time in their lives, with their elected representative, and to feel that their own opinions may be effective in shaping a voice in the House of Commons." @n the other hand, in view of his onerous task as Chief Whip for a minority government, Smiling Jimmy is delighted to feel that he is getting a true cross-section of electors' views on the questions framed in his quiz. He sent a copy of his ques- tionnaire to every ascertainable home address in his riding. Thus the replies reaching him now are coming from some of the 41,485 voters who supported him in the 1963 election, as well as from some of the 28,505 who voted Tory. The number of replies which he has received from inside his constituency already far ex- ceeds the total number of sam- plings taken for the whole of Canada in a typical public opin- ion poll. There is internal evidence in the replies, and especially in the frequent accompanying letters amplification, that they come from a representative cross- section of the public: house- wives, retired people, business QUEEN'S PARK gs effective tions ' Organization?"

And of course re- sentment about the undemocrati- cally foisted flag retains all its strength. After two tough years of suc- cessfully whipping attendance by Liberal MPs and support from among the opposition par- ties for the minority govern- ment, Jimmy Walker is acutely consciouyo the precarious bal- ance of public opinion. He seems certain to carry this warning note to the next-door office, that of Prime Minister Pearson. Bracondale Riding Critical For Liberals By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The byelection campaigns are underway and the Liberals start out by get- ting a break. The Grits -- who are very much under the gun in these two contests--are on very shaky ground in Nipissing. But in Toronto - Bracondale they are in better shape than they might have been. To emerge from the two Sept. 15 votes without harm the offi- cial Opposition party, of course, would have to take both ridings. It has held both seats and the loss of either of them is going after the revolt there, when 30,- 098 Hungarians were listed as immigrants. Since the Fidel Castro government took over Cuba in 1959 a total of 223,771 Cuban refugees have entered the U.S. with status of tem- porary residents and 43,365 Cu- ban nationals have come in as immigrants. Of the: ,819,246 persons who settled in the U.S. in the 1955-64 period, only 206,990 were from Asia and 20,727 from Africa. This, at least in part, is attrib- uted to the quota system which has been in effect since 1921 and tends to favor white Euro- peans. Canada and Mexico are not subject to the quota. President Johnson wants to alter the system so that it will stress skills rather than country of origin. This wouldn't neces- sarily increase immigration but it would constitute a shift away from the racial basis which has tended to work against colored immigrants. The U.S. already draws heavy- ily on persons with skills as immigrants. Nearly 10 per cent of those admitted in the 12- month period ending June 30, 1964, were described as '"'pro- fessional, technical and kindred workers,"' In comparison, around three per cent were listed as ordinary laborers About 11 per cent of the 38,074 Canadians were in the profes- sional and technical classifica- tion, about four per cent were laborers and more than 50 per ent were wives and children or 'others with no reported occu- ation. Most recent figures on spe- cific occupations are for the 1953-61 period. They show that Canadians constituted 25 per cent of the 27,142 alien engi- neers, 38 per cent of the 25,376 immigrant nurses and 13 per cent of the 12,680 foreign physi- cians and surgeons admitted. to mean it will dri But Bracondale big danger point, The Nipissing seat was held for them by Leo Troy, and this has been considered a Troy seat more than @ Liberal one, The great personal popularity of the late member was re- garded as the main reason the party held the riding. Normally in recent years it could be expected to go to the government. N.D.P. THREATENS But in Bracondale the. situa- tion has been different. There the late Joe Gould won the seat in the last two elections in straight, open fights. And the party prestige is much more on the line. A loss there would infer a loss in party pulling power gen- erally. In advance of the campaign it appeared as though the chances of such a loss were strong. Even more important, it ap- peared that the N.D.P. might be the victor. Bracondale is the type of Tor- onto riding in which the N.D.P. must be conceded a good chance, In two byelections last year-- one provincial and one federal--~ the party had shown it had de- veloped new and effective cam- paign techniques when it had only one riding to concentrate on, CANDIDATE'S WEAKER It now appears, however, as though the party may. not be the threat it might have been. Its potential effectiveness largely depended on the calibre of its candidate, and its pro- posed standard - bearer appar- ently is not too strong. He is Dr. John Farina, a uni- versity professor. Dr, Farina is of Italian origin, and there is a large Italian vote in the riding. But he has not been an out- standing man in the community, and it is part of political lore that only a very outstanding Ital- jan can win the Italian vote. The professor should have little appeal to the rest of the vote. The Conservatives also prob- ably won't have either a very strong candidate or campaign. This riding is to disappear with redistribution, and not too much heart can be put behind the election by the P.C.s.
