'She Oshawa Cimes Cubie by Conedion Newenaners Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher" TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1965 -- PAGE 4 tii Federal Considerations In Canadian Investment The cause of those who campaign for more and more Canadians to invest in Canadian industry has ysuffered a severe shock through the f findings of the Kelly Royal Commis- sion investigating the trading in share of the Windfall Oils and Mines Limited. The report is being termed the most scathing ever brought down in Ontario. As criminal charges have been laid, the commission's references to the conduct of individuals in the case is outside editorial comment. However Mr. Justice Kelly's critic- ism of institutions, namely the Tor- onto Stock Exchange and the On- tario Securities Commission, is a matter for Canadian concern. It offers, in fact, a possible election issue for those many politicians who seem. to be flaying around in search of one. Mr. Justice Kelly reported he saw three specific weakness in the Toronto Stock' Exchange. He said rule-making has not kept pace with the ingenuity of those seeking loop- holes; the spirit of the rules is not observed ; effective survelliance and enforcement of 'the rules is woe- fully lacking. A "real doubt" was expressed that, the exchange is maintained for the benefit of publie investors or the personal convenience and profit of some of those associated with it... "whether the members of the brokerage community responsible for that trading look upon the ex- change as 4 public securities market or as a private gaming club main- tained for their own benefits". If this be the situation and if the Ontario Securities Commission is not competently overseeing the operations ,then a need for super- vision on a wider scope would ap- pear indicated. Neither the industry nor the investors involved are limited to Ontario. As are the deve- lopments in which trading takes place, perhaps the overseeing of this important facet of Canadian growth should also be on a national plane, In the U.S., supervision has long been in the federal field. The time may well have come for a similar course in Canada, 'Sitting Members' Stand Election stories which refer to 'the sitting member" or to "the incumbent" are incorrect, parlia- mentary officials explain. From the date Prime Minister Pearson dissolved parliament and called the November 8 election, Canada ceased to have any MPs. It is impossible to be a member of a body that doesn't exist. Correct designation of people who were MPs is "member of the last parliament" or "John ° Smith, member for ABC riding in the last House". While members of the last House are now ordinary citizens, most of them busily engaged in campaigning for re-election, they do retain certain rights and privileges. The most im- portant is their pay which is con- tinued until November 7. She Oshawa Times T..L. WILSON, Publisher BR. C. ROOKE, Generali Manager C. J.

In the 1940s when MPs received only $4,000 a year, their pay was pro-rated on a daily basis during a normal session and it fre- quently stopped before the session ended. There have been cases where MPs sat for as long as three months without receiving any re- muneration because the $4,000 limit had been reached. When the indemnity was doubled to $8,000 it was decided to pay it in 12 instalments so MPs could more easily budget themselves and live within their income. The 265 members elected No- vember 8 will start receiving their indemnity as of that date. Their election must first be confirmed in a special edition of The Canada Gazette about two weeks after elec- tion day. As soon as they are Gazetted, they are put on the Pay- roll retroactive to November 8. They also retain their railway and airline passes and can continue to use their parliamentary offices. Their private secretaries were kept on until September 30 but will not be re-hired-until the new parliament meets. Former Conservative cabinet ministers are permitted to retain their secretaries through the cam- paign period. The one privilege the former MPs do lose is their mailing frank. This was cancelled 10 days after Prime Minister Pearsons proclamation dis- solving parliament and calling the election. Serious Gap In U.S. System -- CANADA'S STORY - Lk ar a mummies. ca is var sical "THAT'S WHAT HE THINKS!" Stressed By LBJ's Operation By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) -- President Johnson's gall-blad- der operation draws attention oncé again to an important gap in the American system of gov- ernment, There is nobody truly quali- fied to take over when a presi- dent is disabled. And the job has become so vital that the U.S. and the rest of the western world just cannot afford to be without. the American leader, _even for a few hours. Whether he is working, travel- ing, sleeping or partying, the President is never more than minutes away from the firing mechanism of the U.S. nuclear bombs and intercontinental mis- A serviceman waits at all times a few steps away, carry- ing the "go-code"' which is real- ly the nuclear 'button'. In his briefcase are the day's instruc- tions and secret safety devices which control frightening power. If the continent is attacked, the President has less than 15 min- utes in which to use the Code, Then there is the "'hot line', an ever-ready teleprinter line to Moscow which could be used in those minutes to halt or limit a war. BETTER EQUIPPED When Lyndon Johnson went under the anesthetic at Be- thesda Naval Hospital on Fri- day, Vice - President Hubert Humphrey took over the code and the hot-line, along with re- sponsibility for any critical de- cisions that could not wait. Humphrey is better equipped to step into LBJ's boots than any previous Vice - 'President, and far better informed about White House problems than, for example, Harry Truman who became President without know- ing the United States had the atomic bomb. Vice - President Humphrey has an agreement with Johnson that (a) when asked to, he would serve as acting president while Johnson is disabled (b) if Johnson were so disabled that he could not communicate with pos Humphrey would decide Wien to take over-(c)-only-John- son, would decide when he was fit to resume the powers of his office. This, however, is only an in- terim arrangement, A constitu- tional amendment. covering the whole matter of presidential dis- ability was passed by Congress in July but must still be ratified by 38 of the 50 state legislature before it goes into effect. This would guard against the scary prospect of a physically or mentally disabled President : clinging to power. It gives Con- gress the final power to decide whether or not the president is fit to govern. If a President were unwilling or unable to tell Congress he was disabled the Vice-President and a majority of the Cabinet, or any other body Congress may later set up, could send a declaration to Congress that he was unfit. REGAIN POWER The President could regain his powers from Congress unless the Vice-President and majority of 'the Cabinet objected. Con- gress would then settle the dis- pute by two-thirds majority vote in both chambers, to be taken - within 21 days. This vote would decide whether the President or Vice-President should run the administration, Johnson's operation and con- valescence has reminded Amer- icans how much they need a stable presidency and it may help push the constitutional amendment through the 30 state legislatures which have -yet to deal with it. As the President said in a spe- cial message to Congress last March: 'Our stability is more superficial than sure. While we are prepared for the possibility of a President's death we are all but defenseless against the probability of a president's in- capacity by injury, illness, senil- ity or other affliction. "(We) cannot justify the ap- palling gamble of entrusting (the free world's) security to the immobilized hands or un- comprehending mind of a com- mander in chief unable to command," This happened in 1919-1920 after President Woodrow Wilson had a severe stroke, For 17 months he was isolated in his bedroom at the White House and his wife Edith was his only con- tact with the outside world. Mrs. Wilson kept out visitors and handled all state documents herself. She refused to accept any compromise on ratification of the League of Nations Char- ter, saying this was the Presi- dent's will: As a result, America. yever joined the lague and the course of world history was changed for the worse. Fdith Wilson was, in effect, President of the United States In their elaphantine way, Con- gress and the atates are trying to make sure this chaotic period is never repeated. Perhaps, with an eye to events In Bethesda Naval Hospital, they will hurry up. By Paul Tissington Expropiation, Necessary, Never Popular "Vicious" is one of the terms which have been used by mem- bers of city council to de- scribe expropriation -- some- thing which practically no one likes, inside or outside city hall, "Expropriation is forced on us as part of our progress and de- velopment," says Ald. Hayward Murdoch. "It is a means to an end with both parties having ac- cess to an independent court of law." The word expropriation has become a familiar one at coun- move to a new home, expropria- tion can be a serious hardship, A new eight-step procedure in expropriating lands was estab- lished by council in April this a year. One of the steps requires that when an expropriation by- law is passed, a settlement offer be made with 50 per cent of the settlement compensation offered on account. In many ways the procedures have been an im- provement, But, there still are problems. city this lar."' partment who is resigning as city real estate appraiser, council said: believe a commission to handle the com- plete real estate problems of the or at least a firm policy would be ward getting the best value for part of a Ald.

This is because the city has, or is, ex- propriating all or portions of about 100 properties -- a one- year high.

Christine Thomas, for one, has urged the appointment of a Seal estate official or de- needs an official with the neces- sary time and patience to ex- plain and answer al] questions of worried property owners faced with expropriation. In view of the city's growth and potential, a real estate depart- ment should be established, Ex- propriations will continue and property owners deserve every consideration. Firm policies are also. re- quired but it would be unwise to establish a firm policy re- garding expropriation _ settle- ments -- especially those in- volving forced taking, when a last week that when an expro- priation settlement goes before a court, the judge usually con- siders the inconvenience, re- placement and forced moving aspects "so we may as well take them into consideration at the council level". Ald, Thomas summed up the situation when she said: "IT hope council will never get so mercenary that it will only pay thé appraised price," she said with particular reference to cases of forced © moving. "There has to be something on compassionate grounds." Battle of Yonge Street i By BOB BOWMAN When William Lyon Macken- zie's rebellion in Upper Canada was beaten in a battle on Yonge street, Toronto, in 1837, he fled to the U.S.A, From there he organized raids. on Canada ,us- ing Navy Island. above Niagara Falls as a base, He also tried to set up a_ provisional govern- ment for Upper Canada. Mackenzie, who was the grandfather of Canada's famous Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, got a good deal of help from an_ organization called '"'Hunters' Lodges" which intended to conquer British pos- sessions in North America, and chiefly Canada, American supplies were reaching Mackenzie in a ship rani nM van YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Oct. 12, 1945 The Ontario Regiment under Commanding Officer Lt.-Col.

Ma) MM De-salting Project Stressed In Easing Water Problem By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Acute water shortages in the United States gave a special urgency for Americans to the 65-nation conference here on how to take the salt from water. "Man's survival is threatened by water problems," Interior Secretary Stewart Udall told the opening sessions where scien- tists from five continents gath- ered in what was described 'as the most impressive array in history of water-engineering tal- ent. The Soviet Union and four other Communist countries were represented while two Canadian papers were included in the 100 presented--all highly technical. De-salting seawater is being done in various countries but it remains a high-cost alternative hy_any of the. three main pro- cesses of heating, freezing or filtering through a membrane. Emphasis being placed by the U.S, on its de-salting program, first begun in 1952, underlines one fact of special interest to Canada in view of currently- popular references to a conti- nental water policy. The U.S. is spending about $2,200,000,000 on water problems this year--supply, floods, pollu- tion and de-salting. But it apparently intends to have a good look at salvaging and expanding its own pure- water resources before showing any public interest in additional supplies from Canada. Suggestions to solve U.S. water problems with diversions of Canadian rivers have been popular in Congress this session without drawing any adminis- tration comment. Testimony Sept. 8 to a Senate subcommittee by- two advisers to President Johnson were cool to any grandiose diversion plans from the north at this stage. Deputy Director Elmer Staats of the bureau of the budget said: 'We feel we ought not to go in for inter-basin transfers of water until we have taken some of.the..other..measures which can increase our supply of water. We think there has been a tendency perhaps to jump too quickly to the conclusion that inter-basin transfers of water are going to be the solution to the problems of some of the areas of the country," He noted proposals to divert Quebec-Ontario rivers into the Great Lakes. QUEEN'S PARK Lin} Police Win Round In Aerial Patrols Ry DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The Ontario Provincial Police has won the first round, at least, in its at- tempt to police highway traffic from the air. A Toronto magistrate has up- held a speeding charge which was defended--taken as a test case on the legality of this type of policing. At time of writing it is not certain whether the defendant will appeal, However, it would appear that this new approach to polic- ing is here to stay. Even if some weaknesses might be brought out in an appeal it appears they would be technical and open for correction. And while everybody dislikes anything with the tinge of sec- ret policing this is one instance in which there is unlikely to be many protests. ENFORCE LAWS Patrolling from the air obvi- ously gives a much _ better chance to enforce laws, partic- ularly for offences such as tail- gaiting and lane switching And there is such an urgent need for better enforcement that any slight abuse of our standards which might. be in- involved becomes of minor im- portance As it is shaping up, this new system of patrolling is the most hopeful development we have seen to date in highway safety. We will probably see an ex- panded program next year. There has been one federal campaign note which has been mildly amusing when looked at from this centre of government. This has been noticeable that this complaint has come from federal politicians and hasn't been echoed here. FAVOR SHORT CAMPAIGNS The prevailing sentiment of the leaders of government here has been for short campaigns. It started with former pre- mier Leslie Frost who, after his first election, said he didn't think long campaigns were either needed or worthwhile. And Premier Robarts been in full agreement. Mr. Frost had another tech- nique the federal Liberals seem to be trying to follow. This was to ignore the oppo- sition and its clamor as 'much as possible, The former premier was adept at avoiding fights he didn't want. has McCutcheon Hitting Hard. On Hustings By FARMER TISSINGTON . Ottawa Bureau of The Oshawa Times OTTAWA -- Political ob- servers here are generally agreed that the most vottective speeches of the election cam- paign to-date have been made by a Senator. Wallace McCutch- eon, the 59-year-old millionaire businessman-Senator,* has been stumping the country on behalf of the Conservative party with all the enthusiasm of a youthful Commons' aspirant. Senator McCutcheon's speech- es have indicated a wide range of interest although, as a for- mer top man in E. P, Taylor's Argus Corporation, he devotes a lot of attention to the Liberal government's business and fi- nancial policies. His active interest in politics is comparatively new as he was a surprise choice as trade and commerce minister in the dying days of the 1962 Diefenbaker government, following the walk- out of George Hees, But friends say the Senator has taken to politics like a duck to water and he gets a thrill from the roar of the crowd and the newspaper headlines, His oratorical ability is steadily im- proving and his deep, gruff voice lends a flair to the touches of humor that sprinkle his talks. IN DEMAND Senator McCutcheon has been so much in demand as a speak- er, even before the calling of the election, that his name has been seriously mentioned as a contender for party leadership. But. more practical people dis- count the chances of a wealthy Toronto Senator in having the sort of popular appeal required by a national leader. Behind Senator McCutcheon and contributing greatly to the quality of his speech material is his young executive assistant, Lowell Murray. Mr. Murray was on the Ottawa staff of for- mer justice and public works minister Davie Fulton, He went west with Mr. Fulton on his fll- starred try at British Columbia Politics. An accomplished _ speech- writer, Mr, Murray talks over ideas with the Senator and then translates these into' the hard- hitting McCutcheon prose. But the Senator is rapidly learning the fine art of political give and take, Recently, when finance minister Walter Gordon challenged him to run against him in Toronto Davenport, Sen+ ator McCutcheon was ready when the press sought a reply. "If everyone who disagrees with Mr. Gordon ran. against him .there would be thousands of names on the Davenport bal- lot paper," the Senator retorted. Even Mr, Murray could not have done better, POINTED PARAGRAPHS This information will most likely be of no value to you: "Analysis shows that mouse seary has more calories than eef."* It seems our booming pros- perity. is based- upon. people's spending more than they don't need, LISTEN HERE: : Betty Kennedy ear Co eee "YOU MEET THE NICEST PEOPLE..."
