ed "QQ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, August 27, 1965 Nation's Editors Hold Forth On Election, Redistribution By THE CANADIAN PRESS Following are excerpts from editorials in representative Ca- nadian newspapers on the ques- tion of holding a federal general election before redistribution of Commons _ seats. xcept as noted, all newspapers quoted describe themselves as_polit- ically independent. T Globe and Mail: Civil se! t pay-is.... only one of a number of matters requiring the urgent attention of Parlia- ment... . There is, of course redistribution, which would give the people of Canada, for the first time in 13 years, equitable voting strength. Parliament has far too much important work to be done for the government to be considering an_ election. (Aug. 23) Toronto Star (Ind. Lib.): There is nothing to warrant an election this fall. Parliament has a lot of unfinished. business. . . » It's perfectly possible to handle all this and then go to the electorate asking for a man- date about a year from now. If the public interest is put ahead of party advantage, that's the way it will be done. (Aug. 26) Toronto Telegram: The ma- jority of Liberals, like people of all political affiliations, pre- fer to see the election put off until the redistribution of new parliamentary constituencies is completed. This makes good sense. . . . There is no valid reason for an election except to satisfy Liberal harbingers who believe that the pulse of the people should be tested while, the Conservatives are in dis- array. (Aug. 26) Edmonton Journal: An elec- tion would be a grave injustice to millions of Canadians who have taken up new homes since the last redistribution; they would hardly be represented at all in new Parliament, com- pared to other Canadians. A new Parliament based on the old redistribution would be out- rageous affront to democracy. (Aug. 19) Medicine Hat News: Prime Minister Pearson is certainly not responsible for the current rash of election rumor and speculation. But he's the one who can end it all, one way or another. And he'd be well ad- vised to do so as soon as pos- sible. (Aug. 25) Lethbridge Herald: The com- bined opposition can force an election this fall. Surely the government of the day has some rights in a situation such as that, Surely it has every right to seek a vote of confi- dence and an absolute majority. . « » The government is entitled to ask for a fresh and stronger mandate, and voters are en- titled to say whether they want to give it. An election this fall is fully justified. (Aug.. 23) Red Deer Advocate: Whether or not Mr, Pearson wants a fall election is not yet certain; but there is no uncertainty about Mr. (Robert) Thompson's wishes in the matter. He dare not expose the remnants of his (Social Credit) party to the voters this year. (Aug. 19) Victorio Times (Ind, Lib.) On the sudden flurry of election talk, Mr. Pearson may be sure of one thing: No matter when he calls a general election there will be sharp criticism, (A) that he should not have called it; (B) that he should have called it long ago. Under such condi- tions he can well disregard the critics and make his decision po the traditional 'basis. (Aug. ) Charlottetown Guardian: Now we are told by Prime Minister Pearson that Canadian voters have only two choices--to vote this fall or wait until 1967, which, of course is the year of the big centennial celebrations and a bad time indeed for dis- solving Parliament and _ bring- ing the business of the country to a stand still... . Apart from a° defeat on the floor of the Commons, the only real reason for holding an election this year would be political opportunism; jand it is an insult to the intelli- jgence of the public to present Saskatoon Star-Phoenix: Anjit in@any other light. (Aug. 24) election should not be held now} because it would not contribute) Charlottetown Patriot: . . anything to improve the medi-/The way our two biggest na- ocre government now in office| tional leaders are talking while in Ottawa. What, we ask, are|away from the sobering real- the alternatives? They arejities of Ottawa, it looks as if neither more nor less promising) We May have to face an autumn its first, triumphant .season at than the government in power.|¢lection this year whether we want it or not. ... There is no valid reason for te expense and effort of a general election now other than sheer political expediency, the possible better- ment of the current minority position of the Liberal govern- ment and the extension for four years of the $18,000-a-year-jobs of the MPs who would other- wise tose them with their seats (Aug. 20) Regina Leader-Post: The field position could hardly be better for Mr, Pearson, if politics were merely a game. But it is more than that and Mr. Pearson must consider the country as a whole. . » » Underlining everything against holding an election is the fact that, so far, the voters have shown nothing to indicate they want one. (Aug. 26) Winnipeg Free Press (Ind. Lib.): If an election were to be held now, on the basis of pres- ent representation, it would mean that in 1969 or 1970 rep- resentation in Parliament would be on the basis of the country's population as it was at the time of the 1951 census. In other words, it would be 18 or 19 years out of date--and in many significant changes take place in such a period. . . it is unthinkable that Mr. Pearson would allow the political con- venience of his party to over- ride the welfare of the nation. (Aug. 19) this country and in these times} "SERIOUS MUSIC NEEDS IT By BOB THQMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- What serious music needs is a little more youth and enthusiasm, So says Zubin Mehta, who has added generous quantities of both, The Bombay-born conductor has startled the music world with his virtuosity. Not only does he head two major sym- phony orchestras, Montreal's and the Los Angeles Philhar- monic,-.he also "maintains a heavy schedule of guest con- ducting from Milan to Moseow. Mehta flew here this week after conducting an opera at Salzburg. After presenting the Verdi requiem at Hollywood Bowl, he was scheduled to re- turn to Europe for more ap- pearances. "My older colleagues say I do too much," the conductor re- marked. But some of his fellow conductors are unstinting in their praise; for instance, Rus- sian Kiril Kondrashin called Mehta "probably the best con- ductor alive today." Mehta is something of a local hero, having conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic through the new Music Centre. Attend- ance was doubled from the pre- vious season, and critics agreed) that the quality of the music was high. THERE'S LACK Despite the success of the season, Mehta feels two ele- ments are lacking. One is youth. | "We give special concerts to| in the redistribution of ridings| now under study and due for implementation this winter. (Aug. 26) A Virtuoso From Bombay Puts Zeal Into Classics school children and regular con- certs to a mature audience," he said. "But what about young adults--persons from 20 to 30? Little is done to attract them). to concerts in this country, and they are either uninclined or find tickets too expensive, Yet this is where our future audi- ence lies. "In Europe it is different. There they have the Jeunesse Musicale, which provides in- expensive concerts for young adults." Mehta has special reason for his fondness of the Jeunesse Musicale. It .was under such auspices that he, a young music student in Vienna, was able to do his first professional con- ducting in Belgium and Yugo- slavia. Then in 1958 he entered) } a competition in Liverpool and scored first in a field of 100 young conductors, That led to his conductorship in Montreal. Metha mentioned the record element he finds missing at the Music Centre: Standing room for music fans.

In a lengthy letter to Dr. Dy- mond, Mr. Thompson gave a breakdown on the qualifications of three of the four doctors which would seem*to meet the college's standards, as listed by (CP) -- Liberal)Dr. Dymond in a letter to the opposition leader. The health minister had de- nied the college was discrim- inating against the four doctors --a charge made earlier by Mr. Thompson as he sought Dr. Dy- mond's intervention on their be- half, Dr. Dymond said the col- lege was merely following its rules. Two of the doctors are from India one from Turkey and one from Japan, None has received permission from the Ontario lcollege to write the Medical Council of Canada tions.
