L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Unanswered Questions Can Embarrass Tories Even based on such an altruistic motive as providing a suitable alter- native to the Liberal party. as the government of Canada, the return of prominent Conservatives to the Diefenbaker fold is amazing. When the pleased Tory chieftain asked a reporter, "Did you ever see anything like it?" he was surely sharing the sentiments of a multi- tude of his fellow-Canadians, The about-face enacted by the stalwarts. of Conservatism who soured of Mr. Diefenbaker's leader- ship previously, requires consider- able explanation to gain accep- tance, let alone support. Many have shown themselves highly capable parliamentarians, Their quitting did not. lessen their public. prestige. Their return actually gives rise to greater questions than did their departure. They've handicapped themselves with embarrassing shackles for a free-swinging political campaign. The difficulty they'll encounter and Good Works The good works of Colonel R. 5 McLaughlin made news again last week of national scope. The Univer- sity of Toronto unveiled a model of tts new planetarium which is des- tined to be the most modern and one of the largest in the world. The oc- casion chosen was appropiately a birthday party the Royal Ontario Museum was giving for Col. Me Laughlin. He is underwriting the cost of the planetarium, estimated at $2 million. In offering financial support, Oshawa"s First Citizen made a char- acteristic stipulation. He specified the building and equipment must be first class in every way. And that's what it's to be -- the equal to New York's Hayden Planetarium, widely considered the finest in the world.

Premier Robarts of Ontario who has also declared support for the national Conservative party and "our national leader" has set what could well become the pattern, On the same day as he made public his intention to help Mr. Diefenbaker in his campaign, he also said he did not favor the proposal to call a na- tional conference to rewrite the British North America Act. This is a key plank in Mr. Diefenbaker's platform. While an alternative choice choice should be available to the electorate, Canadians should. be giv- en a much clearer insight to what that alternative is. Before solicit- ing our support, the Conservative party must provide a clearer ex- planation than has been given so far on the future of the party to which we would be asked to entrust the future of the country.

For Oshawa citizens, the gener- osity of Col, MeLaughlin in sup- porting worthwhile causes and pro- viding assistance to local and na- tiomal endeavors is, of course, well- kus wn and appreciated. The list is wrchout limit -- hospitals, library, medical schools, parks, recreation centres and many, many more proj- ects of importance to his commun- itv and country. Yet, a remark made by one of the scientists last week about the fu- ture of the planetarium has signifi- cance relative to Col. Sam. The scientist mentioned the hope was to have a "piece of the moon' 'on dis- play there by 1970. The statement exempliflies how the dean of the automotive industry continues to pace progress, At 94 he is not con- tent to contemplate on the successes of his long carer, he's associated with the adventures of the space age of today. At the Toronto unveiling, Col. Laughlin expressed the hope that the planetarium would be completed 'in time for me to see it". The wish that he'll be around to see his latest project realized and for many years of good health and happiness will be shared by the multitude of his friends an! fellow-citizens.

CRWANTAME ADPARN | a -- ae am or we ee wee PNWeES "Volunteers Hard-Headed Without Missionary Zeal By CARL DOW Canadian Press Staff Writer Young Canadian volunteers working in developing countries ~318 now are on assignments on three continents--are a hard- headed lot without missionary real, The young people, most of them recent university grad- uates with a salting of working professionals, are under the sponsorship of the Canadian University Service Overseas (CUSO) which receives finan- cial support from the federal government and private sources, Provincial govern: ments also make a small con- tribution, CUSO went into operation during 1961 and by the summer of 1965 it had 150 Canadians working in developing countries on two-year assignments. Inter- est in the project increased so that by this September 168 more volunteers had gone abroad to Asia, Africa and South America, The total would have been 208 but 40 others who were sched- uled to go to India had to be left behind at the last minute due to the outbreak of fighting between India and Pakistan. The most striking thing about the volunteers -- one-fifth of whom are French-speaking Ca- nadians -- is the lack of the classical missionary enthusiasm usually associated with those who participate in such proj- ects. This attitude is encouraged by organizers of the project who are determined™that the "preachy, condescending', ap- proach must be avoided, / SEEKS ADVENTURE And if comments from volun- teers interviewed in Montreal mean anything, they -haye no delusions about "saving" any- one or anything. Among the working profes- sionals is Linda Kachmar, 20, of Montreal, who has worked as a secretary since graduating from high school and has taken courses related to her work at McGill and Sir George Williams universities in that city, Miss Kachmar, who speaks English, French and now Fanti Twi--the dialect of the region to which she has been assigned --will work to establish a com- merce department at Holy Names girls' secondary school in Cape Coast, Ghana, on the west voast of Africa. "l"m not going because of a missionary state of mind," Miss Kachmar said, 'It's more for adventure and a reaching for a sense of usefulness than any thing else, "I've always wanted to travel and so I applied as a volunteer when I learned that CUSO needed people with business ex- perience. When I was asked if 1 would accept the business department assignment I saw it as an opportunity to prove my usefulness to myself and, of course, to others." FORMS CHARACTER TEST Self-interest, as distinct from selfishness, was also expressed by a young married couple from the University of Western On- tario, Dr. Ross Laing and his wife Pauline, who are 25 and 24 years old respectively, Mrs, Laing, who has been teaching English at a secondary school in London, Ont,, and ex+ pects to do the same with CUSO, said she considered her new undertaking "a valuable experience for us." "Our generation has no real challenges compared to the gen- erations that went through the depression and the Second World War--we need something to test our resources and adap- tability and it is fortunate we can find this test in less dra- matic and tragic circumstances than faced by those who came before us." Dr. Laing, a psychiatrist who has been posted as a district medical officer in Tanzania, said he expects the experience should help him to obtain a better_perspective--of Canada's role in world affairs, "In order to function well in any society we have to be able to take an objective look at it and living and working under conditions so remote from our own will, I'm sure, help us to understand better our own coun- try, its role and our role in it." James Geros, a science grad- uate of the University of British Columbia, and his wife Marion, a graduate of St. Boniface School of- nursing, Winnipeg, will spend the next two years working in Uganda. Mr. Geros, whose home is Vancouver, said the venture will provide him with an invaluable opportunity to coninue his stud- jes in bacteriology. Communist Anti-Aircraft Fire Impresses U.S. Navy Airmen By HUGH A, MULLIGAN ABOARD USS INDEPEND- ENCE (AP) -- Navy aircraft carrier pilots bombing North Viet Nam are impressed with the accuracy of Communist anti- aircraft fire and the mobility of their surface-to-air missile sites, a top U.S, fleet admiral reports. "So far there's been no slack- ing off of pilot morale, but we know what we're up against," said Rear-Admiral James R. Reedy, commander of 'Task Force 77, which controls all air strikes from carriers in the 7th Fleet in the South China Sea The admiral said .S. pilots have learned a few tricks about getting out of the way of the projectiles "You do have a chance--you can outmanoeuvre the missile," Reedy said. "The missile is probably going at 2% times the speed of sound; a pilot traveling at the speed of sound can get out of the way if he sees the damn thing coming.'"' Detection against the SAMS (Surface - to - Air Missiles) has been fairly good, the admiral said. He added; "They need radar to work the missiles and they have to have it in a van not too far away, That's how we know the sites are mobile; Our reconnaissance flights get pic- tures of one missile location, vty PMCT RAN MC ec a and when we go back, it's not there."' The admiral said U.S, pilots aboard the Independence, flag- ship of the task force that has been sending night and day bombing strikes into North Viet Nam from several carriers In the 7th Fleet. Reedy said there was no way of knowing, from present intel- ligence, whether the SAM sites were operated by Russian, Chi+ nese or North Vietnamese tech- nicians, "It wouldn't be much of a job to teach the North Viet- namese to operate them," he » added So far three U.S. planes have been reported shot down by sur- face - to - air missiles launched from sites in North Viet Nam, Reedy said the missile sites, "if thickly sewn," could consti- tute a threat to American air superiority in the Vietnamese war, but so far anti-aircraft fire has been more of a menace. While actual plane losses are classified, the admiral conceded that '"'we have lost quite a bit, certainly more than we care to." He said Communist anti-air- craft fire, particularly from de- fence sites around North Viet Nam's larger industrial com- plexes, "has been surprisingly he avy and pretty damn accur- ate.' yet iN AAA AAR ..

This one should be settled by Oct. 20, if the OPC js to remain on schedule It centres around this ques- tion: "Who will be the next Chief of Police to succeed Herbert Flintoff, due to retire at the end of the year. The rumor mills haye been grinding overtime as to who the successor will be, especially since Sept. 1! when the Chief announced that he will retire at the end of the year (after 44 years with the department). He was not scheduled to quit until next March. The OPC's machinery has already been set in motion to find a successor for the job, one of the most important in the city's municipal framework.

It was a mistake on the tariff problem that prought about the defeat of Sir Wilfred Laurier's Liberal government on Septem- ber 21, 1911. Although the U.S.A, had been a high tariff nation for many years, in 1911 its government under President Taft began working out trade agreements with countries in Western Eu- rope and South America, Taft and Laurier worked out a tariff agreement that would have ad- mitted many Canadian raw ma- terials to the U.S.A, duty free, while there would be lower duties on a number of U.S. manufactured products coming into Canada, The. agreement was ratified hi!

By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--lIn his first election ax leader of the Social Credit party in 1962, Bob Thompson had the intense gratification of seeing it capture 30 seats, the largest representation it had ever attained in Parliament, as it made a big break-through in Quebec. Six of those MPs were de- feated in the election of 1963; then-13 broke away to form a separate Quebec wing under Real Caouette; then two de- fected to join the Conservative party; and last week the re- maining five Quebec MPs quit to call themselves "independ- ents." That sounds like the tale of the 10 little nigger boys, and Bob Thompson today can num- ber only four MPs of the 26th Parliament among his support- ers--and those once again, as from 1940 to 1958, corralled in the two western provinces, Bob Thompson may be disap- pointed but he does not seem to me to be downhearted. He is a realist; he does not foresee his party as likely to win enough seats to form the government in 1965. But he operates from a solid base: his party has cap- tured the provincial govern-, ments in Alberta and British Columbia and has held both un- defeated for 30 and 13 years re- spectively. Those two provinces, our wealthiest and most successful in proportion to, their popula- tion, consider that they are the head, of the cow. off which all other provinees feed. Their So- cial Credit governments are popular and honest as well as successful; they expect the poor benighted citizens of the rest of Canada may one day awake to. what they are miss- ing. CREDITABLE INFLUENCE But meanwhile 'Honest Bob" Thompson believes that the yoice of Social Credit in our House of Commons has _an_in- fluence quite disproportionate: to its small size, and he believes that his party performs a val- uable function in Parliament, Yet his Quebec supporters, A) r itt NE America to the North Pole. A U.S, Senator said 'Canadian annexation is the logical conclu- sion of reciprocity" Until the Americans made these ill-advised statements, Sir Robert Borden and the Conser- vative party thought they were certain to be beaten in the elec- tion, The threat of annexation was the ammunition they need- ed, and they used it with deva- stating effect. The Conservatives won 133 seats, the Liberals 88, exactly the reverse of the pre- vious standing in the House, OTHER EVENTS ON SEPT. 21: 1812--Gananoque, Ontario raid- ed by U.S. troops 1818--Lord Selkirk tried for ar resting North West Com- pany members at Fort William 1826--Rideau Canal begun 1928--Canada introduced airmail stamps. nya A HN HUA conscientious to doff their fine men members, and had party label the better to fight for their re-election, One of those was Dr. Guy Marcoux, the respected young son of a well-loved doctor in Montmor- ency County. A prominent and experienced ¥rench + Canadian Liberal MP recently remarked priva tely that the most henorable French- Canadian MP in our recently dissolved House was Dr. Guy Marcoux, That such a man felt forced to abandon his party must make everyone ponder on the machinations of politics, es- pecially when one recalls the startling allegations of corrup- tion affecting another party re- cently voiced by that man, WHITHER BOB THOMPSON What then is Bob Thompson and the Social Credit Party likely to achieve previously, when he devoted five years to running a medical and teaching mission among the most shunned outcasts of the world, the lepers, in the most back- ward province of Ethiopia, In his own way in his chosen fields, Bob Thompson has de- voted all his endeavours to helping others to a better life. A dedicated: and active Chris- tian, the child of poor immi- grants who worked: his way through high school and college, he has led a completely selfish life. His ideas and. ideals, set out in his frequent public speeches to church groups, ser- vice clubs and business associa- tions across Canada, reflect his belief in the worth of our free enterprise system, offering re- wards for those willing to earn them and help to those so un- fortunate as to need it. At almost any moment dur- ing the past three years, Bob Thompson could have traded his party's support for a.Cabinet post in a minority government. Yet, at great sacrifice in money and security, he opted instead to exercise his influence in an unfettered manner to attain better government. While he will not match his..1962 total of 30 MPs in the coming election, he will certainly add to the So- cial Credit vote in our two West- ern provinces, . was QUEEN'S PARK Federal Election Problem TORONTO -- Premier Joho Robarts now has to face the problem of a federal election. A' national campaign always poses difficulties to a provincial premier in Ontario, It is in his interests not to get involved, Every leader of a government in this province must depend on support from people who would normally: vote for one of the opposition parties. And any man who got too ac- tively partisan in an election * could jeopardize this vote, At the same time a premier is also a party leader, and he must show some party loyalty. So the problem is to let it be known where your sympathies étand without being too active. Traditionally Ontario pre miers' therefore have taken the position it is not proper for them to get involved in federal elections :which is the practice in some provinces, but not all), MAKE TOKEN SUPPORT They usually have made a token appearance on a_ plat- form, most often at a meeting in their home ridings, This shows their loyalty. Leslie Frost broke away from this tradition a bit when John Diefenbaker first led the party in an election, He was quite prominent in the 1957 federal campaign. Mr. Robarts also broke away from that tradition in 1962. At that time he was a new leader, and perhaps because of this and the need to-sell himself he was more prominent in the campaign than customary. But in the federal election the following year he was less ac- tive. And there can be little ques- tion he would like to do the same thing in this campaign. However he is faced wit unusual complication. There is a great amount of talk about him as a potential successor to Mr, Diefenbaker aa national party leader which places the Ontario premier in a delicate position. If he doesn't actively support Mr. Diefenbaker in the cam- paign there can be the suspicion in the public mind he is pur- posely letting down, If he does take part, he will run into the old hazard of alienating some of his vote, and also perhaps breeding the dis- pleasure of the strong anti- Diefenbaker element in his own party.
