Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1966 ~~ PAGE 4 Sharp Means Business In Combatting Inflation The decision to postpone for one year the national medicare program 'was a difficult one for Finance Min- ister Sharp to make and, apparent- ly, a difficult one for Health and Welfare Minister MacEachen to accept. The social and political rami- fications of yet another reversal of plan by the Liberal government are likely to be severe. The decision, nevertheless, was a realistic and proper one. Whatever the advantages which will eventually accrue to the Cana- dian people through the welfare m or a future modification of it, at this time there was too great an attitude of federal force about it. The provinces in whose domain such a program lies have shown little unanimity or outright support for it. And even more to the point, serious questions have been raised by the doctors who must service such a scheme as to whether the nation could be adequately equipped in either personnel or faci- lities to cope with the program. A year's postponement will pro- vide much-needed time to iron out the differences disturbing the prov- inces and to make better provision for the smooth operation of nation- al medicare. Another important aspect of the announcement was the indication it has given the country that the federal government is prepared to take the lead in endeavoring to curb the forces of inflation. It is esti- mated Mr. Sharp will cut some $340 million out of his spending program for the next year. Other sizeable cutbacks were also announced for many fields of federal activity. It was painful to cutback on desir- able projects, Mr. Sharp said, but most Canadians would realize that it is better to proceed to social reform when the country could af- ford it than to produce excesses by trying to do everything at once. Such comment probably marks Mr. Sharp as a right wing member of the Liberal cabinet. This will not be a political detriment for him with the growing numbers of thinking Canadians who favor a businesslike rather than a "give-away" approach to federal affairs. These Canadians are also likely to note with approval his recom- mendation to other leyels of govern- ment. He noted that the provinces and municipalities have also been increasing their expenditures and suggested they might well follow the federal lead in cutting back where possible. Rats On Next Agenda? Talk turned to ground hogs dur- ing a session of city council this week. It was a very human discus- sion with light humorous overtones. The mayor and another alderman who also farms brought to the at- tention of council the abundance of woodchucks or ground hogs ram- bling through their environs of late. On one farm 45 noses (of ground hogs) had been counted as they poked out oi hoies in the field. On She Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher &. C. PRINCE, General Manager C. J.

(The discussion arose over a suggestion that a city bylaw be amended to prohibit the discharge of firearms within the city). Now, it may not have reached the attention of all council members but there's another rodent making an appearance, not in the farm fields, but in the new residential areas of the city. And if there's any lengthy delay in dealing with him his numbers will undoubtedly multiply to quickly exceed the num- ber of noses in any farm field coun- cil would care to survey. There's nothing humorous about these new residents for they are rats. Cause for concern certainly exists for there are large numbers of young children in the neighbor- hood. Tragic reports have come from time to time from other cities when these rodents have molested children. It would be shocking if Oshawa had a similar sad experi- ence, particularly so, when we un- dertand the presence of the rats had: been reported to the health de- partment many weeks ago.

Politics 'Around Long Time Yet' VICTORIA (CP) -- The man many have called the "old master" of provincial politics leads his Social Credit forces into their fifth election in Brit- ish Columbia Sept. 12. The election date set by Pre- mier William Andrew Cecil Ben- nett comes seven days after his 66th birthday, Sept. 5, and he says he expects to be around for a long time yet. It will be the ninth election campaign for the New Bruns- wick-born son of United Empire Loyalist stock. Moving west as a young man, he made a fortune in the hard- ware business, was first elected to the B.C. legislature in 1941 as a Conservative, then broke with the party in 1951 and took over the Social Credit leader- ship. His fledgling party won an up- set victory at the polls the fol- lowing year. W. A. C, Bennett has won very election he has contested except one. That was in 1948 when he ran as federal Con- servative candidate in Yale and lost. But the next year he was back as provincial representa- tive for Okanagan South, a con- stituency he has represented ever since. H has said reneatedly he has no ambition to take over fed- eral leadership of Social Credit, now split between the forces of Robert Thompson and Real Caouette. "My job is here in British Columbia" where he says "a dynamic society" is being built. WON'T INCREASE TAXES "This is my life's work and I'll be around so long as the people want me.

Social Credit held 32 seats in the legislature at dissolution while the New Democrats had 14 and the Liberals five. One seat was vacant after the death of a Social Credit member. In this election the electorate will fill 55 seats, an increase of three following a redistribution bill passed at the last session. When he opened his campaign the premier promised that his government, if returned, would increase social assistance, grants for students, would raise the $30 bonus for pension- ers and would give additional help to the blind, retarded and infirm, all without an increase in taxes. Opposition critics have said the election is neither needed nor wanted but the premier said the veople should 'be given a chance to speak" in view of redistribution. Social Credit was given a five-year mandate in 1963. The premier, who has also held the finance portfolio since 1954, has been criticized for what the opposition calls "'fi- nancial juggling." Mr. Bennett replies iat his critics are merely jealous of policies which, he says, have freed the province of net debt and brought it multi- million - dollar developments such as the giant Peace and Columbia river power projects.

Faced with such a heavy himself innocent of everything he is blamed for, even in the light of the harsh observations of Mr. Justice I. C. Rand con- cerning him, but he should neve! less resign. Now that Justice Minister Lucien Cardin has officially announced he will ask Par- liament to remove him from the bench, one does not see what Judge Landreville would gain in clinging to his posi- tion, unless it is new humilia- tions, ordeals which will not be lacking if a parliamentary committee takes up the ques- tion as Mr, Cardin also an- nounced. Under Judge other recourse but to resign if he does not want his repu- -tation to be further tarnished. The history of Parliament over the last few years should have taught him that when it is a question of sullying repu- tations, few individuals achieve more success than certain members of Parlia- ment, notably Erik Nielsen. When a retired justice of the Supreme Court of Canada cre ~ ae rat himself ipable of properly exercis- ing his judicial duties, one re- fires. One does so even with t by arespected member of the judiciary, what can a parliamentary committee do except confirm this judgment? Thus Mr. Landreville has nothing to gain in continuing the fight to to make them carry out their responsibility toward the Ca- nadian people. The fact that.the minister has to address a second letter to hundreds of which do not seem to have taken the first one seriously leads one to believe, however, that several do not intend to conform to all these direc- tives... . One aspect of the directives which can raise objections is DIRECTIVES FROM WINTERS companies To Resign, Quickly on their boards of directors and subscribe to the work of cultural and social institu- tions. Moreover, judging by Mr. Winters' ment intends to assure this, by demanding a complete re- port of their activities, if the request attains its objective. In the circumstances, it is not only a question of a recommendation, but almost an order to which these sub- letter, the govern- keep his honor clean; on the contrary, the more he fights, the dirtier his reputation will get.

Trade Minister Robert Winters, in a recent state- ment, takes note of the co- operation of the majority of businesses concerned, but he does not say more. The pub- lic does not know to what extent they have agreed to put into effect the guiding principles of good conduct es- tablished by the department the department's request to Canadian subsidiaries to keep a sufficient part of their re- ceipts in Canada to assure their expansion and equitable dividends to shareholders and to adopt a policy by which they will increase their com- petent Canadian personnel and name Canadian directors to their boards. . . . Another point is the direc- tive . . . which indicates that these businesses must not only invest their capital in the country but also participate to the fullest possible extent in Canada's economic develop- ment and the well-being of its people. Are these companies conforming to these direc- tives? Very few are. The proof lies in the fact that the commerce department is obliged to repeat them. Because of the criticisms which their attitude is arous- ing, however, it would be ad- visable for them to change their tune and to co-operate more fully in the country's progress, accept Canadians sidiaries would do well to conform.

The sharp attack two retired gen- erals have launched on the policy of the department of defence has the effect of throwing oil on a fire which was still smouldering beneath the ashes, The criticisms made by Generals Simonds and Vokes are even more direct and se- vere than those of the spokes- man for the navy, Rear-Ad- mira] Landymore. In their eyes, integration--or unifica- tion?--as seen by Paul Hell- yer is a "ridiculous step," be- gun solely to satisfy a desire for change without taking into account pressing military needs in time of war, notably involving mobilization. we THAT ONG OF CANADA'S (AL PROJECTS WILL Be 4 CANCE RACE Bie JUST HOW MANY CAN IT HOLD?

Then it was decided to hold another meeting in Halifax. September 8 was spent on the beaches and_ touring the countryside until evening when a supper and ball was held in the Legislative Assembly Hall. It was a gala occasion in which delegates and leaders of Prince Edward Island. society mingled and danced until five in the morning. John A. Macdonald made a speech in which he prophesied that Confederation would make British North America '"'at least the fourth nation on the face of the globe." The delegates boarded ship in the small hours of the morn- ing, and arrived at Halifax on Saturday, September 10. The weekend was spent quietly, and the Maritime delegates met by themselves on the following Monday. On Tuesday, Septem- ber 13 the Canadians were called in and it was decided to visit Saint John, Fredericton and then hold another con- ference at Quebec in October. The Saint John meeting was a great success. There was a dinner in Stubbs' Hotel during which George Etienne Cartier stood up alone and sang God Save The Queen in both French and English. He had a tuneless voice and was a little flushed, but was very much in earnest.

Moscow Viewed As Threat By New Chinese Leaders By WILLIAM F. RYAN Associated Press Staff Writer China's actions and words these days suggest that the men now emerging at the top of the heap in Peking consider Mos- cow a threat to their chances of nailing down and ensuring their power. Foreign Minister Chen Yi's statement in Peking about the possibility of talks with the United States on Viet Nam and the statement by the Chinese ambassador in Warsaw, full of belligerence toward the Ameri- cans, are not so contradictory as they might seem. It all seems to mean that the Peking regime does not want to get involved in war with the United States. But it badly needs an outside enemy to ex- cuse internal measures. It could hardly do without the United States as an enemy now and apparently wants to add the Soviet Union to its list of op- ponents for good measure." Whoever controls China now --and Defence Minister Lin Piao seems to be calling the shots--the regime seems hell- bent for collision with Moscow. Meanwhile, around the Commu- nist world, everybody is getting into the act. Peking may be -happily anticipating an all-Com- munist donnybrook of global proportions. Communist parties in Europe now comment freely, fre- quently and acidly on Chinese antics. At the same time, all display worry that a contagion which has swept China might spread beyond its borders and prove, as the Bulgarian party said, "most dangerous" to Communist world aims. Peking's latest official actions seem incomprehensible unless one considers a few probabili- ties: --That there has been a strong pro-Moscow element in the Peking leadership and that the Kremlin must be represented as wholly wicked if the "'anti-revisionist" lead- ers are to nail down their authority for good. --That in the midst of 'the struggle and confusion in China, the emerging leader. ship wants to force Moscow to make the first move and take the blame for breaking the slender thread still hold- ing the two together. MOSCOW IS TARGET The latest sequence of events seems to make Moscow the main target' of Peking's' ma- noeuvres, First, Chen talked to Japanese visitors about Viet Nam talks, saying he didn't want to see the United States and China '"'come to a clash." This sparked hopes in Washing- ton of a change in Peking's at- titude toward negotiations on Viet Nam. Then the Chinese ambassador in Warsaw, Wang Kuo-chuan, after one of his innumerable meetings with U.S. Ambassador John Gronouski, accused the Kremlin of "singing a duet" it wears at a masquerade ball? That's milady. But if you tug at the beard and it yells "ouch," that's milord-- or, a -to-one-chance, a female attraction from a cir- cus sideshow. DRINKING GIVES CLUE If it enjoys watching a base- ball doubleheader on televi- vision, it's a man. If it remarking'on how cute one of the pitchers is, it's a woman. At a bar, does it take its turn in buying a round? You can bet it's a guy. Does it never buy a round? You can bet it's a girl--or the barten- der himself. At a cocktail party, if it kicks off its shoes and starts letting down its hair after the first martini, it's a she. If it insists on going into the kitchen and making its own martinis, it's a he. Do dimples twinkle in the knees showing under its kilts? Hoot mon, it's a lassie. Do the calves showing under its kilts look like hairy fire plugs? Don't waste a hoot, mon--it's a laddie. These tips should enable you to tell the sex of anyone you meet unless it is a teen- ager. The distinction in that case is not worth bothering about. No one could possibly care what sex a teen-ager belongs to except another teen-ager, and it is probably wiser to let them solve this problem themselves. CAN'T ROW 80 FAR PORT DOVER, Ont.

Moscow had been needling China about those talks in Warsaw, the only point of Chinese-American com tact for years. Hoges for a changed Peking attitude faded again. But there was no real con- flict between Chen's remarks and those of Wang. Chen--and -- Mao Tse-tung--had spoken be- fore about not wanting a clash with the Americans. The Chinese ambassador would not act on his own. He had specific orders. Evidently the idea was to surround Peking's position and defend 'it from Soviet insinuations that the Chinese, after all, were not all that tough in facing up to the Americans. Since there has been no real change ih attitude, there emerges a picture of the Kreme lin and-all "revisionists" as the main targets of such goings-on.
