ear A ARID se PS Me he Oshawa Fimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Minority Government It Is; Let's Make It Work! "We'll lié and bleed a while, then rise to fight again", said a rejected and dejected Tommy Douglas a cou- ple of federal elections ago. The New Democratic Party leader reach- ed into his wealth of literary lore to quote a downed Scottish warrior as he himself left in defeat the prov- ince of which he had been premier for some 20 years and moved to find a safe federal seat in British Colum- bia. Last night's election results show- ed that in his strenuous return to the federal fray his message, still relatively fresh to large segments of the Canadian electorate, was more acceptable than those of other party leaders. As was his desire, Mr. Douglas will hold a crucial position in the next parliament. He has long proclaimed the value of minority government, The heavy responsibil- ity is now his to prove that it can work. Neither politican nor pundit can quarrel with the verdict delivered yesterday. The Canadian people were asked to decide and they dem- onstrated distinct reticence to put- ting the handling of their affairs wholly in the hands of either of the major parties. The failure of the Li- berals to sell a_ slickly-packaged image of reliability is evident. The Tory gains are not what they might have been had the party not cam- paigned with a split personality. Yet while the results are not what those who favor majority govern- ment may have wished, the election nevertheless brought gains. They came in the high calibre of candi- dates of all parties who will serve in the Commons.. If we are to have an- other House of Minorities, it will prove worthwhile to have such strong representatives as Robert Winters, George Hees and David Lewis serving in it. In Oshawa, we are again especial- ly fortunate in our representation, We had strong candidates from which to choose. Each man demon- strated he had much to contribute, That. Mr. Michael Starr has again been re-elected bespeaks of the high regard in which he is held. He is certainly to be congratulated on his victory. For all those selected by the Ca- nadian people to represent them, the election should have instilled a strong sense of purpose to strive to conduct the nation's affairs in a businesslike manner free of the bickering and buncombe and bitter- ness so prevalent in the recent past. Canada's destined to have. minor- ity government, they have heen giv- en the responsibility to make it good government, They Also Serve... Computers clicking through com- plicated calculations last night quickly and competently compiled election returns. The meticulous movements of the machines _pre- sented a modern marvel to television audiences. This automating of our elections represents praise-worthy progress. Those nerve-knotting hours of wait- ing for results has been greatly and humanely reduced. The business of assessing the balloting is handled with efficiency. The instant exper- tise enabled through electronic en- terprise is truly awful. Yet, lest the assumption get abroad that we "plink" members of parliament off an assembly line like so many cans of tomato soup, it is well to remember the human ele- She Oshawa Zimes T L, WILSON, Publisher R.

Yesterday there were literally thousands of Canadians at work in returning offices and polling sta- tions throughout the 265 constitu- tuencies represented in the House of Commons. It was through their less spectacular but highly conscien- tious efforts that the voracious ap- petites of those blinking computers were kept fed last night. From the time polls opened yes- terday morning through the long and often tedious eleven hours of balloting those charged with the re- sponsibility of overseeing the voting were on the job at polling stations. Then the careful counting began the moment the polls closed. At this point the returning officers and their staffs also opened an intensive period of close co-operation with representatives of news media, The Canadian Press, telegraph and tele- phone people to transmit the results of the voting to the Canadiani people.

The National Capital, espe- cially Parliament Hill and the enclaver of feeral departmental administration buildings scatter- ed about the city and its sub- urbs, ran up the blinds and pull- ed back the curtain. With a sudden overnight lurch, the vast and complicated administrative machinery of government, idling quietly these past campaigning weeks, roared back into high gear. The quiet that an election al- ways brings to the Capital was shattered. The place was in business -- the nation's biggest business -- once more at the same old plus $8 billion tax stand. These last nine weeks have been a time of waiting for the decision at the polls Where London and Wash- ington bounce and boil with political activity in the weeks between the calling of an elec- tion and the polling of the bal- Tots, Ottawa snoozes, This is not where the action is -- that's out on the cam- paign trails, with the- Prime Minister, the Conservative Leader and chiefs of the assort- ed splinter bands About the only loud noise in the Capital has been the thump- ing of those mimeograph ma- chines. that John Diefenbaker for a time -was accusing' Lester Pearson of hiding behind. When just about all else was still, the duplicator mills were spinning out that endless stream of Party leaders' statements, itineraries, speech texts in the silent war of the press releases LONELY OLD TOWN: This has been the "second front" in the recurring political war of the Grits and the Tories, the battle of the mimeograph machines behind and on_ the flank of the' front line where the two leaders, Dief and the PM and their lieutenants have fought and bled and finally won and lost out there on the pri- mary field of action where the taxpayers could see. and hear, make up their minds and dic- tate last night's outcome. The machinery of govern- ment did keep turning over in this "the silent time' in the Capital, kept turning very quiet- ly and slowly, but only on the junior levels where pension and family allowance cheques are prepared and run-of-the-routine- mill correspondence kept mov- ing. But z+ the senior levels of the "Federal paper iaciory wiere policy and decisions are made, all was still. The departmental deputy min- isters, the men who really run the machinery that runs the gov- ernment, sat tight, waiting for the election storm to blow itself out and the political dust settle, The idea is to keep the ma- chinery ticking quietly over, like an idling motor, revved just enough to keep it from stalling, With the members of the Cab- inet -- and in these: past three weeks, especially the Prime Minister -- these men of ulti- mate decision off The Hill and out of the Capital on the cam- paign trail, "everything put-off- able," as one deputy minister deftly phrased it, 'all that is postponable'"', is stored on ad- ministrative ice. At widely - spaced intervals, with luck once weekly, the Cab- inet, or a fraction of it, met briefly in the East Block. INSIDERS' POLL: But these meetings have been more of an "'insiders'. opinion poll', more of an _ informed campaign survey than a Cab- inet session. The big decisions have been where the PM should go next and what should be the Ime rather than what to do about the ever-present and ac- cumulating national administra- tive problems. For who knew, for dead cer- tain sure, up until the eleventh hour -- and then it was only in- stinctive seat-of-the-pants politi- cal guesstimating -- what was going to happen? So how could any really basic, long-range de- cisions be made? While the $8 billion plant idled quietly, the people who man the main swiicnes, the 50,000 Civil Servants here in Ottawa's Fed- eral headquarters had a prob- lem, peculiarly their own. What to do with dragging time? Inconspicuously -- and who, actually, was around to do any serious looking and checking -- the junior staff, the clerks and stenographers and_ secretaries have been stretching out their coffee breaks in the West and Centre Block cafeterias and in the score or more of canteens in the dozens of Federal build- ings scattered for 20 miles around. The more senior types have taken care, in some measure, of lagging time, with a_ longer lunch period, the late start or early finish to the working day. $400,000 Robbery By Cannon May Speed Arms Sale Curbs ALEXANDRIA, Va. (CP) Two men walked into Ye Olde Hunter gun shop here last March 30 and purchased two Finnish Lahti anti-tank cannon with ammunition. One weapon was recovered Oct. 30 from Long Island, N.Y., waters linked with the $400,000 robbery-by-cannon of a Brinks vault at Syracuse, N.Y., the weekend of Oct. 24 Another was recovered in Quebec City last February after an abortive assault on another Brinks vault. Canadian Joel Singer, 23, of Chomedy, Que,, is wanted in the Syracuse case and three other Canadians as well, while Singer's uncle, Ca- nadian-born Jack Frank, has been arrested in the U.S. The anti-tank cannon feet long and firing a metre shell, were used in 1939-40 Finnish defences against Soviet tanks. They illustrate the Wealth of working tools avail- able to discriminating criminals in the United States today. Their availability was cited last spring by Attorney-General Nicholas Katzenbach in testify- ing before a Senate inquiry into a bill to tighten federal controls on firearm sales seven 20-milli- the SEEK RESTRICTIONS - The U.S. government now hopes that a tighter firearms bill can get speedy Congres- GOOD EVENING... su sna sional approval early next year after prolonged study led by Senator Thomas Dodd, Connec- ticut Democrat. Meanwhile, Ye Olde Hunter shop continues to list the price of a Lahti anti-tank rifle at $119.95--it was $99.95--and the ammunition runs from $1 to $1.50 a shell in lots of 100, de- pending on quantity and qual- ity. Ye Olde Hunter is a retail out- let for the International Arma- ments Corporation on the banks of the Potomac River here. In- terarmco, as it's called, is owned by a former arms expert for the Central Intelligence Agency called Samuel Cum- mings, nuw .a résident in tax- free Monaco and a millionaire. In the shadowy regions of the international arms supply busi ness, Interarmco can supply anything from a_ submarine to the jellied gasoline called napalm currently in use against the Vietnamese Viet Cong. The word is that Interarmco's for- eign sales follow guidance from the state department--and that perhaps the firm helps the state department keep tabs on where the global arms market is warmest at the moment. At any rate, it does not ap- pear to have sold any arms to the sensitive Caribbean area since Fidel Castro's Cuba fell out with the U.S. ... By Jack Gearin Don't Forget Youth Day November 15 needs of isn't these Speaking of the youth (and who days?) -- Don't forget Nov. 15 It will be Oshawa Youth Day. What's so important about that? It could help pave for next Monday, the way some much-needed and far- reaching Provincial legislation for the betterment of youth. The great stars of the day will be the 15 members of the 'on- tario Legislative Assembly's se- ler' committee on Youth. They will be in session here al! day --in City Council Cham- bers -- briefs from agen- cies ¥ > youth as well as submissions from young people. The committee will conduct "a comprehensive inquiry" into and report on the special needs of youth. Particular reference will be made to education-' cul- tural, recreational and employ- ment opportunities. It will also investigate health, welfare and sport facilties available. lt will consider the to be taken which (in the opinion of the com- steps mittee) would ensure a participation by youth life of the community. That's quite an assignment, but one point should be stressed -- the public is invited and any individual may present a verbal brief. The hope of thousands in the Province is that the effects of the committee will soon culmin- ate in the creation of a Depart- ment of Youth at Queen's Park under the direction of Sy] Apps (the former National Hockey League great, who will be here next Monday as chairman of the committee). The Oshawa Citizens' Com- mittee on Youth has extended wider in the the time for submission of writ- ten briefs to next Friday. Said Stewart R. Alger, com- mittee chairman: "We have much of which to be proud in Oshawa in the way of youth ser- vices. but this 4s a growing city and the needs will be ing. We will tell them of our as- sets and our liabilities. I'm hope- ful that the city's combined increas- briers will represent a cross-section of the city." The Oshawa Rotary Club will hold a special Oshawa Youth Day dinner-meeting to honor the visiting committee. The guest speaker will be Dick Shatto (the much-revered football star who made a gallant but futile effort in recent years to keep the good ship Argonaut afloat) Mr. Alger's committee has come up with a bright idea -- it will incorporate all local briefs into a printed booklet for pre- sentation to Mr. Apps' group.

On November 9% less than one week later, American General Benedict Arnold began his attack on Quebec that was to continue until the following spring, when the Americans had to retreat. If the Americans had attack- ed Nova Scotia instead of Que- bec and Montreal, there is little doubt that they could have seal- ed off the St. Lawrence. Can- ada would 'have fallen Nevertheless Benedict Arn- old's march from Boston to Que- bec across the State of Maine in the autumn of 1775 was an outstanding military achieve- ment. Supplies for 1,100 men had to be moved up the rivers against the swollen currents, while the troops themselves struggled through muskegs often up to their waists in ice-cold water. Some Indians joined the viene ner PTO un invaders along the way, and were paid one "Portugues" per month, a gold coin worth about $8.80. When Arnold's force ar- rived at Levis, across the river from Quebec, it had been re- duced to 650 men through ill- ness and desertions. Major Cramahe had removed all the boats from the south side of the river, but Arnold's Indians had brought their can- oes, and these were used to help get the force across. Then Arnold followed Wolfe's path up the cliff to the Plains of Abra- ham, where they gave three cheers, and waited for the Brit- ish garrison to come out to fight. This is where the story dif- fers from Wolfe's campaign, Cramahe did not come out to fight. He knew that the Ameri- cans could not have brought along any heavy artillery, and that the walls of Quebec could not be crumbled by musket fire. Arnold, and later reinforce- ments led by . Montgomery, -never did succeed in cracking Quebec's defences,although there were a number 'of sharp battles.

But. Edward Richard George Heath, now Conservative party leader and a Tory true and through, represents a_ radical departure from the class-con- scious upper class. There is nothing Etonian in _, his back- ground, no well-connected cou- sins, no ducal aunts--just a fa- ther who was a carpenter and a mother who was a_ parlor maid. In his future, there could be residence at 10 Downing Street, home of Britain's prime -minis- ters. For, at this moment, Prime Minister Harold Wilson's Labor party margin in Parlia- ment is so slim that events of relatively minor nature could cause a reversal in the reigning government. Ted Heath, husky, handsome and of humble origin reflects a transformation occurring in British conservatism. Heath began his climb on the political ladder at Balliol Col- lege, Oxford, where he was a scholarship student and organ- ist in the college chapel. He came to note, not as a musi- cian, but' as a vigorously anti- Fascist Tory president of the Oxford Union debating society. Travels in civil war Spain, Nazi Germany and other parts of Europe led him. to rebel against the official. Conserva- tive policies under . Neville Chamberlain of appeasing the dictators. Luck plays a part in the lives of most politicans, The break that may well explain Heath's meteoric rise towards power in only 15 years of parliamentary life came in the fall of 1938. A special election took place in Oxford City with the Chamber- lain-Hitler Munich Pact as the main issue. Quintin Hogg was the official Tory candidate de- fending Munich against the at- tacks of Socialist A. D. Lindsay, master of Balliol. Harold MacMillan, himself rebelling along with Winston Churchill, came out in public support of Lindsay. Young Heath did too, canvassing ener- getically for the socialist. Churehill, Sir Anthony Eden and MacMillan never. forgot. And Heath's promotion in each of their administrations was swift after he-entered--- Parlia ment in 1950. Heath displayed other quali- ties in his assignments--brain power, force of character, en- ergy, guts. Heath was elected to the Con- servative leadership last July-- after Labor returned to power in a general election--succeed- ing Sir Alec Douglas-Home-- ironically, Chamberlain's _ pri- vate secretary at Munich. The onetime 14th Earl of Home's patrician manner and illustrious ancestry failed to fire a popular response in a country beset with long-term problems and obsessed with the need for modernization. : Sir Alec quit and Heath was chosen by the democratic method of a secret ballot--the first held by Conservative law- makers. Thus Heath's rise seemed to herald a new Conservative era by dramatizing just how far the party and country had moved from the class-ridden Britain of the periods before and immedi- ately after the Second World War. Bult Heath was more than a handy symbol of change. At 49, he is the youngest Tory leader since Disraeli--and the same age as Wilson. Heath and Wilson both are products of lower middle-class homes, of .state schools, Both went to Oxford on scholarships, both took 'degrees in_ politics, economics, philosophy, both held civil service jobs before plunging into politics. Both have the reformer's zeal. Yet in personality, the two men are quite different, Where Heath is plain and di- rect with a no-nonsense ap- proach, Wilson tends to be sub- tle, smart and sarcastic. Where Heath is a sound, flu- ent but unexciting speaker, Wil- son is highly articulate, a mas- ter of repartee, with a tongue that outs and @ften wounds, TS TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 9, 1965. .

Il QUEEN'S PARK Duplication Tendency Wasietul By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Out of all the ar guments you hear about the advantages of private industry government administration, there is one that has validity. Government administration tends to be wasteful. Much of this waste is brought about by lack of co-ordination and duplication of effort, Unhappily, as the complexity and size of government in- creases: this condition seems to be growing along with it. In recent months I have pointed a few of the more glar- ing examples where, through lack of consultation between de- partments, there has been either duplication of effort or a loss of effectiveness. Now another has come along. The department of economics and development has announced it is forming an association in the four counties in the Toronto area: Halton, Peel, York and Ontario. The association, the depart- ment says, will tackle problems such as urban sprawl, over- crowding and duplication in municipal government. The officials concerned either didn't know, or didn't care, that the department of municipal af- fairs-was already in this field. Under its aegis a_ study of municipal reorganization in Peel and Halton counties was started some time ago. Perhaps there is room for both ap- proaches. But two absolutely independ- ent approaches cértainly don't make sense. And the economics department started its project without consulting municipal af- fairs. There is one good reason to believe this lack of co-ordination will always be with us in so under our ministerial and de- partmental system miniature kingdoms are created. And every minister wants to run his own shop. Premier Robarts has said he is aware of the problem and was taking steps to meet it. But these steps essentially have been to set up sub-committees of Cabinet, and sometimes of senior civil servants. To date, these for the most- part aren't working. The signs are that personal ambitions are too strong for any efficient ef- fort. Perhaps one day somebody will come up with an answer. But in the meantime govern- ment looks bad.
