OTTAWA (CP) -- Since the ding of The Canadian Press in 1917, its news* service has served as a medium of ex- change of ideas and informa- tion among all regions of Can- ada, the national negvs co-oper- ative says in a brief today to the royal commission on bilin- gualism and biculturalism. This has been achieved "not only through transmission of news but also as a result of the meeting-ground it provided for editors and publishers of the two language groups among whom there are many strong ties." It is hard to estimate pre- cisely the value of what CP ac- complishes "by daily exct across cultural boundaries of honest news at a cost within reach of all the dailies, even the smallest, whether published in English or in French." SEEKS HIGH STANDARDS The brief says CP has never distributed news for the sake of sensation, It always takes great care to verify content of its news stories, making its high] In 1944, CP directors agreed as a matter of policy that news should be delivered in French at the same assessment rates as in English, subject to agree- ment on details among French- language members. Following a number of meet- ings to 'discuss details, French- language newspapers joined in 1951 in a French service. At its official inauguration at Mont- real Louis St. Laurent, then prime minister, described the service as a major event in Canada's development. The service kept pace with development of modern tech- niques and now CP provides its service both in English and in French for automatic typeset- ting.

Of the total staff of 396, 54 are French- speaking. Every effort is made to obtain in original French source copy of news from French-speaking areas, at home or abroad. All CP stories from the Quebec leg- islature are written originally in French, then translated into English for English - language newspapers. i A French - language corre- spondent, prriting in French, works in Ottawa. Important meetings in French, anywhere in Canada, are covered by French-writing reporters, Out- side Canada, special arrange- ments are made to obtain French source copy.

Within a week Johnson will have met Ayub Khan, Prime Minister Wilson of Britain and Chancellor Erhard of West Ger- many." + The following weeks and months will make clearer the Johnson brand of foreign policy as head of the major Western power.

At stake with Pakistan are relations which never have been worse and the future involves further U.S. aid, the question of closer rakistani ties with China and the prospect of settling Pakistan's Kashmir dispute with India in which Pakistan has taken a more moderate line than India. For Wilson, Rhodesia is the only new element and U.S. sup- port toward breaking the rebels seems certain to continue. But there is the question of continu- ing costly British military com- mitments east of Suez, continu- ing support for the U.S. in Viet Nam and perhaps sacrificing reluctance to see West Germany get closer to nuclear arms in NATO, Erhard, arriving at' the week- end, is anxious for political and prestige reasons to get more of a say in NATO's nuclear struc-|j ture and the problem is} whether recent U.S. proposals | to fob him off with less will be a translation service.|ture of most problems faving| successful. it Signals Tun'French 'Exiles' I Parochial' Ottaw OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's capital is a parochial English- only town where French-Cana- dians feel like unwanted exiles, the University of Ottawa says in a-brief to the royal commis- sion on bilingualism and bicul- turalism. The brief, submitted today, adds that many French-speak- ing government officials are fleeing to Quebec because they can no longer stand the "obdu- rate unilingualism" of Ottawa city council. Ottawa is not really a na- tional capital because its "'paro- chial mentality" is "decidedly foreign" to 5,000,000 Canadians of French expression. URGES ACTION The university urges the royal commission to recommend measures to the city and the Ontario government to turn Ot- tawa into a truly bilingual cap- tal. "Should the municipal and-or provincial administrations re- fuse to co-operate in this un- dertaking, let the commission recommend the creation of a, n = if? os hae Ualiadud vUiiatca THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, December 15, 1965 97 ti & ooks- = a "Canada will be bilingual and bicultural or it will cease to be; our two cultures will march hand in hand from sea to sea or they will both disappear." Ottawa's lack of bilingualism also is criticized in a brief from Francis Flaherty, a member of the Parliamentary Press Gal- lery, who publishes a business newsletter. He suggests that the national capital region--Ottawa, Hull and neighboring municipalities -- be turned into a bilingual, 11th province, combining provincial, municipal and educational pow- ers. He also urges equal taxes for separate and public school | supporters. 30 CENTRES INVOLVED The Ontarie Association of Social Workers, with 1,100 mem- bers, says official and voluntary social agencies in Ontario should | provide full services in French To Moscow Lenin Library jexpanded rapidly in recent years, "We believe that development of such contacts are of mutual benefit to our countries," added Ford, who spoke in both French and Russian. .. The library's deputy director, Feoktista Obrikosova, wel- comed the ambassador's words about Soviet-Canadian contacts and expressed warm thanks for the books, which would prove "very interesting to our read- ers." OLD EMPIRE CHANGES The Commonwealth has a population of about 700,000,000 people, of whom 90 per cent have attained independence since the Second World War. MOSCOW (CP) -- Cagadian Ambassador Robert Ford Tues- day presented a varied collec- tion of French-language Cana- dian books to Moscow's huge Lenin Library. The books, numbering about 60 and including both prose and poetry, are a gift from the peo- ple of Canada to the library. Provided by the' Canada Council, they comprise works by and concerning French- speaking Canadians.
