She Oshawa Sines \ Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Parliamentary Payroll: Liberals Really Liberal By one definition the word "Lib- eral" means "generous, open-hand- ed, not sparing of". It is this mean- ing which seems most applicable when the payroll for parliamentar- ians of Liberal persuasion in the House of Commons is considered. It may well be that the Liberal member who receives only $18,000 annually will become the exception rather than the rule. Forty-seven of the 131 Liberal members are now paid extra for one thing or another. The 26 cabinet ministers receive a $15,000 salary and a $2,000 car al- lowance with the exception of the minister. without portfolio whose salary is $7,500. Sixteen of these ministers now have parliamentary secretaries who receive $4,000. The Speaker of the House gets a $9,000 salary, $1,000 car allowance and is entitled to $3,000 yearly "in lieu of residence." The Deputy Speaker's salary is $6,000 and he receives an additional $1,500 "'in lieu of apartments." The Deputy Chairman of Committees gets $2,000 as an "annual allow- ance" and finally the Chief Govern- ment Whip is paid a salary of $4,000. Now it is reported that Mr, Pear- son intends to seek legislation in- ereasing the number of parliamen- tary secretaries and adding another $24,000 to the "government ex- penses" item in the budget, Serious opposition to the move is regarded as "unlikely," : Sooner or later, says The Hamil- ton Spectator in comment on the mounting bill, somebody will decide to pay the committee chairmen something extra. Then it will not be beyond the bounds of possibility that more than 50 per cent of the elected members of the governing party will be paid considerably more than the fat salary and ex- pense allowance the average citizen believes they receive. ' It has long been argued -- and apparently successfully -- that am- ple reimbursement must be avail- able to make parliamentary service attractive to men and .women of ability .... but this show of Liber- al Jargesse begins to border the ridiculous ! The Broader Concept... While the Commission on Bicultur- alism and Bilingualism works dili- gently on its next report of the relations of the races, French and English, in Canada today, it's worthwhile to look back to the men and women whose tolerance and statesmanship first brought us. to- gether. In this regard the Royal Bank of Canada Monthly Letter provides timely comment. It sets forth the broader concept of our racial and cultural foundation. It is discussed not in terms of The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher & C. ROOKE, General Manes. ©. J.

It will be meaningless if we fail to celebrate it in a way in which all Canadians can proudly take part. The Bank letter takes us back to a question which is very pertinent in this connection: "Who are our ancestors?" The answer it provides runs as follows: "Not only the people on our in- dividual family trees, but all who have preceded us in building this nation, whether they came with Champlain's first settlers or among the century's immigrants; whether they spoke English, French, Italian, German, Ukrainian or some other language; whether they were Jew- ish, Catholic or Protestant; wheth- er they were black, brown, yellow or white in color of their skin; whether they were free traders or protectionists; 'whether they were grand seignors lording it over hun- dreds of acres of hard-working crofters wresting their precarious living from a patch of stony hill- side; whether they were skilful craftsmen felling trees or splitting them and working the wood into chairs and pulpits and farm wag- ons, or proprietors of water-mills which were the first touch of indus- trialization brought to the wilder- ness. All these are our ancestors." OTTAWA. REPORT Top-Level Talks -- Disturbing Pattern By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA --Quebec's justice minister, Claude Wagner, hit the headlines with his criticism of the federal-provincial confer- ence on crime. Ministers pres- ent, the tough gangbuster com- plained, were "soft as dough and playing petty politics." Criticisms as strong and valid were made by provincial dele- gates to last week's federal pro- vincial conference on. manpower training. This is a disturbing pattern. Under the Pearson formula of "co-operative federalism," gov- ernment decisions are more and more being made in these sec- ret conferences, rather than in the open forum of Parliament or legislature. And in these sec- ret bouts, it appears, the stronger and more able provin- cial leaders hold the federal ministers by the nose, Provincial delegates to Ot- tawa last week were loud in their complaints that the fed- eral government was repre- sented by an uninformed and inexperienced team, whose pro- posals had neither been ade- quately researched nor consid- ered in depth. The blame "must fall in part on Prime Minister Pearson. If he had reshaped his cabinet more quickly, his min- isters would have been able to familiarize themselves with their new departments . before these meetings and before the opening of Parliament. TIME, MONEY WASTED The federal ministers who could have contributed most to the talks on manpower training were of course former labor minister Allan MacEachen and former immigration minister Jack Nicholson. Alas able Allen had another appointment, and jovial Jack went to the Shastri funeral in India. The proposed minister of manpower, new- comer Jean Marchand, was chairman of the conference, and Guy Favreau, the minister pwith- out a ministry, just filled a seat, As one provincial minister. com- plained: '"'Marchand has no authority; he is speaking as from a job he hopes to be appointed to. This is a pretty unacceptable situation. Its a waste of time and money. What kind of a fed- eral government is this? Why didn't t#== cancel the confer- ence?" ; The main working paper for the talks was "Pilot training projects for. development areas," This outlined the al- ready famiiiar need to give technical training to unskilled and underskilled workers in this age of automation, and sug- gested how: the need could be explored. But more than two years ago this ground had been covered by the more astute and far-sighted Ontario government. Premier John Robarts had given the green light to his energetic labor minister, H. L. Rowntree, who had set up @ series of labor - management- government workshops to study problems, such as upgrading workers' skills, which are caused by automation and its social changes. TRAIN POLS I was a chairman at one of those Ontario workshops, and described its novel and needed studies in this column in No- vember, 1963. It would have been realistic if Ottawa had taken the Ontario studies as a starting point, instead of re- exploring that blazed trail. One point whicn typifies the federal muddle, a delegate told me, was the proposal to subsi- dize wages for on-the-job train- ees. This raised many prob- lems: What would it cost? How prould trading competitors at home and abroad react? "In a free enterprise system, you don't subsidize wages. This is a very dangerous area, and once started it could never be contained, for it throws open a political pot which would be- come a_ vote-bribing financial burden at every election. It is too important to be a political football.' The role of Tom Kent, Mr, Marchand's new deputy minis- ter, was also criticized: "How can we take advice from a man who has been a political adviser, and doesn't know the facts in this special- ized field? Why didn't the gov- ernment utilize instead the vast knowledge and experience of former labor department offi- cials, like George Haythorne and W. R. Dymond and Ross Ford, who were sitting by and not being asked anything." U.S. Exports To Companies Major Boost For Trade By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP)--United States exports to subsidiaries abroad are a major and grow- ing element in American trade, particularly in Canada, latest government figures show. U.S. foreign investment ap- pears to offer built-in assurance of better export opportunities, with some qualifications, it is implied in the second analysis conducted by the office of busi- ness economics of the commerce department on that subject. Moreover, nearly half of such exports consist of ready-to-sell items needing no foreign labor. This second analysis, covering 1964, shows that exports to-U:S: affiliates rose nearly 18 per cent to $6,300,000,000, compared with aise of 15 per cent for all U.S. exports that year, They totalled $25.300,000,000. Exports to U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates constituted 46 per cent of all American sales in Canada, one - third in Latin America, 21 per cent in Europe and 11 per cent in Africa, Asia and Oceania. The infernational penetration of American capital has long been apparent in Canada, where more than half of the manufac- turing, petroleum and mining and smelting industries are U.S. - owned, and where the growth continues in other indus- trial areas. Canada periodically is cited here as an example of what could happen elsewhere. The commerce department's survey says "These (1965) fig- ures confirm the findings in the first (1963) report... that. ex- port sales te ¢r through foreign affiliates of U.S. firms are a major element in total U.S, sales."' But there are some drawbacks both for trade and the U-S. balance-of-payments deficit, it Savs. While the foreign affiliates are important purchasers of U.S. goods, both for their own use in production and for re- sale in foreign markets, they also now supply directly a con- siderable part of the foreign de- mand for a wide range of man- ufactured products, SEPARATE PROGRAMS FOUR PRINCIPLES MRA Ideology Sold On $3 Million Budget MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP)--J. Blanton Belk has the appearance and aggressiveness of a suave, 40-year-old sales executive. And that is what he is. But he's selling something different, on a $3,000,000 bud- get. Belk is executive director in North America of Moral Re- Armament. His product, so to speak, is that organization's ideology. He insists it isn't a religion. This trim, five-foot-11, 160- pounder became MRA chief in North American upon decentral- ization of the movement, with the unexpected death of Peter Howard, a British journalist. playwright, Feb. 25, 1965. Until Howard's death, Moral Re-Armament had been under world guidance. by one man since its founding as the Oxford Group in 1921 by the late Dr. Frank N. D. Buchman, a Luth- eran minister, Now, says Belk, separate countries operate their own Moral Re-Armament programs, the leaders from each forming what might be termed a cabi- net without president, He says he believes the movement is too big for one man. The cabinet has no set meet- ing date or place. Belk emphasizes, as did Buch- man and Howard, that Moral Re-Armament is an ideology. It advocates adherence to and practice of four principles: "Ab- solute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness and ab- solute love." Belk's main emphasis is that Moral Re-Armament holds the key to obliterating communism and bringing about' world brotherhool. Moral Re-Armament has no membership rolls, as such, and . he says its aim is 'to get move- ment into people, not peaple into a movement," It is 'fi- nanced, he adds, "like (George) Washington's resolution, by peo- ple who believe in it." No one in Moral Re-Arma- ment draws a salary from it. But Belk's expenses are bound to run high. He's a world travel- jer and he goes about the United States in either of two MRA-owned planes An apartment, with a glassed- in sun deck, is available to him at Moral Re-Armament's $3,- 340,000 summer headquarters and assembly buildings here. Winter headquarters, with a co-ordinating staff of a dozen, is maintained at Tucson, Ariz., in a home Belk says was a gift to Dr. Buchman some years azo 'i Publication headauarters are in a five-storey, building in Los Angeles and a New York City MRA - owned headquarters is a one - time dwelling on Bast 40th St. It also owns a 270-acre farm in New York state When Belk entertains, nis are missing. So are rette Why? "Whatever | have comes from sacrificial giving. 1 would. not feel right spending any of this for alcohol or cigarettes, when marti+ ciga- MRA-owned © we have so many more needed things." LIVES IN TUCSON Belk regards Tucson as "home" now. It is here that Mrs. Belk, formerly Elizabeth Wilkes of Greenwich, Conn., lives with their only child, a daughter, Virginia Elizabeth; born Aug. 20 last Many subordinates hold seni- ority over Belk in the American Moral Re - Armament move- ment. He explains his selection as executive director this way: "It is just natural that I should, being the man in Amer- ica closest to Peter Howard, having travelled with him, and before that with Dr. Buchman, both here and abroad." Public relations director Da- vid Carey, formerly of Vancou- ver, a 5l-year-old Canadian who joined MRA in 1938 while a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, said Belk was chosen by Moral Re- Armament's directors, of which Belk is a member and also sec- retary, Belk, a native of Florila and son of a retired Presbyterian minister, had his first brush with MRA in 1946, freshly mus- tered out of the U.S. Navy. year to winning a cold one "It was very simple," he ex- plains. "My.father had met and admired Dr. Buchman and was coming up to Mackinac Island to visit him. He invited me to come along. "T also knew that some of my huddies in service were coming up. Having helped win a_ hot war, we agreed more or less among ourselves to devote a "Before it was over, 60 vet- erans came, and between us, from mustering out pay and otherwise, we raised $72,000 and gave it to MRA. J went back to Europe with Dr, Buchman and spent three years with him." More than 7,000 high school anl-college youths from some 50 countries attended a series of three-week assemblies on Mac- kinac Island last summer. Col- lectively they were called Dem- onstration for Modernizing Man. Asked the cost, Belk replied quickly, $1,500,000. This included an $18,000 budget for recruiting across 143 American and Cana- dian campuses. What does it cost worldwide to finance MRA? "We need $25,000,000." Belk- is proud of his navy background, "and I take great umbrage to the pacifist reputa- tion" some have imputed to MRA. In Seoul, Korea, last October he told an MRA worll assem- bly that Communist China should not be misled by demon- strations in the United States of "a few insignificant pacifists who fail to understand freedom and the cost required. to main- tain it," "The people of the United States want peace, but not peace at the price of freedom, They want patriotism, not pacifism, Moral Re-Armament, not moral disarmament, ., . "The people of the United States, young and old, stand firmly behind President John- son in his policies in Viet Nam."

The Yukon gold rush had made the area important, but the boundary outlining Alaska, the Yukon, and British Columbia was vague. On Janu- ary 24, 1903, Britain and the United States agreed to refer the matter to an "'impartial" com- mission. The Americans chose Henry Cabot Lodge, who had already said publically that Canada's claims were unjustified; Elihu Riot, Secretary _ for War; and Senator Turner of the State of Washington, whose big- gest city, Seattle, was competing for northerm. trade with Van- couver and Victoria The British commissioggrs mm an Hh men were Lord Alverstone, Sir Louise Jette, a judge of the Supreme Court of Canada, and A. B. Aylesworth, a: Canadian Lawyer. In those days the U.S.A. was on the warpath. It liad captured Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philip- pines, the Hawaiian Islands, and Panama. Theodore Roosevelt was the president and his policy was "'the big stick." The commission met in Lon- don, but was unable to make a decision about Canadian and American claims after weeks of meetings. President Roosevelt then sent private messages to leading members of the British cabinet that unless the boundary was settled the way the U.S.A. wanted he would. ask Congress to mobilize troops "to run the . line as we claim it." var WASHINGTON CALLING Able Juggler Johnson Keeps Everyone In Air By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) -- The U.S. Vietnam peace offen- sive is passing reluctantly into history. It was a great show and an entirely new venture into diplo- macy and it accomplished more than appears on the surface. Real peace moves in a tricky situation such as the Vietna- mese mess take place in utter secrecy. President Johnson sent emissaries around the world in a blaze of publicity, scattering gloom and despondency, hope and fear among allies and ene- mies alike. In keeping with the Johnson- jan view of international diplo- macy, which is really an exten- sion of the incredibly compli- cated system of Congressional relations the President knows so well, the peace drive had some- thing for everyone. THREE MESSAGES Johnson's envoys, whizzed by jet from capital to capital around the world, conveyed three differenct messages: One -- They had to convince neutral and hostile nations that the United States really wanted peace in Vietnam and was nre- pared to make new concessions to get it. They were expected to pass the word to North Viet- nam, which the U.S. considers to be its main opponent. Doubt- less several of them did. Two--They had to whip up support for the war from tradi- tional U.S. allies, including Can- ada, on the assumption that, peace moves aside, it will go on for years. If the allies were not ready to send troops . (none were) they should at least do something to spread the bur- den around. Three--When all was said and done, the South Vietnamese government troops were - still fighting most of the war on the orders of the shaky military dictatorship in Saigon. Its lead- er, General Nguyen Cao Ky feared another in the long series of coups, So Secretary of State Dean Rusk had to go to Saigon to assure Ky that the peace talk didn't really mean very much, The U.S. would stand behind him and not sell him out to the Communist Na- tional Liberation Front which controls more than 'half of his country. The most experienced juggler would have difficulty keeping these differing ideas in the air with only two hands, but Mr. Johnson did it pretty well. He solidified belief in the friendly countries that he really wanted peace on_ reasonable terms; he scared the rest of the world into the conviction that he is ready for a fullscale land war in Asia; and he kept General Ky going for a month or so at least. What is, for Johnson, even more important, he kept the U.S. Congress and the U.S. people on an even kee] -- the "hawks"? who want to destroy North Vietnam and eventually China, and the "doves"' who just want to get out of an unholy situation. His State of The Union' mes- Sage was beautifully balanced-- more war, more peace moves, more guns but no less butter, Last week he followed this up by demanding $12.3 billion more for Vietnam, making this extra defense appropriation sould like a vote of confidence from Con- gress in his conduct of the war. NO DECLARATION Officially, of course, there is no war. Johnson has not asked for a declaration of war upon anybody, possibly because it would be difficult to decide whom the U.S. is fighting--the Viet Cong guerrillas, North Vietnam or Red China, A formal debate on a declar- ation of war would be tricky, so the President chooses to con- sider congressional votes on extra defense appropriations-- such as the last one, taken dur- ing the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin crisis--as votes of confidence. The war grinds on and, to judge by public opinion polls, the U.S. public will go along with it. Yet it is not an easy war to understand. The aim, according to Mr. Johnson, is not "victory." It is "to bring Hanoi to the conference table." The stake is not U.S. territory or property, but U.S "honor" and "credibility." If the U.S. will not fight this war which it has blundered into, it will not fight to defend free world allies anywhere. This is the theory of credibility. Many of the U.S. allies would prefer that America forget the whole adventure, but this is con- sidered the wrong attitude, Britain did not want war with the U.S.A. and Lord Alverstone was instructed to side with the Americans, The two Canadians refused to sign the award, but this had no effect. The U.S.A. got the Alaska boundary the way it is today, with Canada having no seaport to the Yukon. This bad decision led to the creation of the Department of External Affairs to control Can- ada's own foreign relations, OTHER EVENTS JANUARY 24 1848--Liberals won elections in Upper and Lower Canada but beaten on Speech from the throne March, 4. 1885 --C.P.R. completed tele- graph service from Atlan- tic to the Pacific.

The boundary between Alaska and Canada was settled 63 years ago today --in 1903--by a 3-2 vote of an international commis- sion. Lord Alverstone of Britain had voted with the two United States com- missioners against Canada's claim, which caused strong resentment. The initial dis- pute had risen over the boundary of the Alaska pan- handle during'. the Klondike gold rush of 1898 and was dissipated in the long run, more by amicable U.S.-Ca- nadian relations than by legal establishment of the international border. 1848--Gold was first dis- covered in California. 1915--British naval forces routed Germans near the er Bank in the North ea.

Then go out and shoot one. The cycle has turned with moose in Ontario. At one time it appeared the big game ani- mals might be wiped out com- pletely. Seasons on them were closed. The seasons were gradually opened again, and now the de- partment of lands and forests says not enough are being killed. In fact there is some danger of an over-population. One factor.which may help is. the growing use of snow tobog- gans. Reports.from the depart- ment's Northern Ontario field offices are that these machines are being used in increasing numbers for hunting. KILLS NOTED This has tended towards a bigger moose kill, particularly late in the season, in December and January when snow condi- tions are good, says the depart- ment. They are particularly helpful, of.course, in moving the carcass out of the bush. One reason moose hunting is not more pop- ular is because of the size of the animal. Packing out a side of moose is certainly not groundhog or coon hunting. ne area in which there won't be hunting by skiddoo is in our provincial parks although no hunting, is permitted in these sanctuaries anyway, all forms of motor toboggans and snow- mobiles are now being barred. The reason is not one that you might expect. It seems our foresters have had to rescue a number of peo- ple using this equipment in the parks. Some have run out of gas in the interior. Others have gone through the ice, or simply lost their way. Whatever the reason they have become a trial to park staffs --- which, of course, are only on a skeleton basis in winter. Millions of acres of other Crown lands are open to them, of course.

Political Unity Remains Strong JERUSALEM (AP) -- Golda Meir, Israel's foreign minister since 1956, spoke nostalgically of her long career in world politics, but her eyes sparkled as she talked of Israel's future. "As long as Israel is strong, there is hope that it will not be attacked by anybody," she said. "IT am convinced that a strong Israel fs the best guarantee for peace in this area." A strong Israel has been Mrs. Meir's goal since 1921 when, at 23, she and her husband left the United States to begin chicken farming in what was then Pales- tine under British rule. Now Mrs. Meir, 67, has re- signed as foreign minister-- completing service as an Israeli cabinet member that began in 1949 when she became minister of labor. She made it clear, to'an in- terviawer, however, leaving the cabinet did not mean she was retiring from politics. "IT remain a member of the Knesset (parliament)," she said. "TL am on several committees of the Mapai Labor party and [I shall work for the reunification of Israel's Jabor movement." The Russian-born, American- educated Israeli politician was asked if she thought her work as foreign minister had been helped because she was & woman. bers.
