ot a a eT ee She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher i SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Johnson Back At Ranch But 'Hard Road Ahead _ Meanwhile back on the ranch... US. presidential influence in -world and American scene centres again this weekend on the Johnson ranch in Texas. There, as through- out the Western world, the chief concern will be the attempt to assess the worth of Lyndon John- son's first extensive venture out- side his own country as president of the U.S. « His Asian tour has not brought optimism over the prospects of an early peace ending the conflict in Viet Nam. President Johnson, after completing his 31,500-mile journey, reported "'the road ahead may be a long and difficult one". The deter- mination of North Viet Nam to continue to support the civil war shows no sign of lessening or weak- ening in any way. The US. contin- ues its build-up of troops in South Viet Nam, it is expected more than 850,000 will be there by year's end. So what else is new? The Manila conference may have long-term benefits in the view of some in- ternational observers. It would lead to the involvement of the major non-Communist nations in Asia in negotiations. Envisaged is an all- Asian summit meeting including India, Indonesia, Japan and Paki- stan, President Johnson's doctrine for providing dollars and aid is de- pendent on meaningful roles for these big neutral Asia countries. It could overcome their present re- luctance to enter the Vietnamese fighting. Politically, the Johnson journey is being credited with strengthening the support domestically for those in power in the countries he visited. With elections soon in Australia and New Zealand, Mr. Johnson's| visit is said to have hardened support in these nations for intervention in Viet Nam. In the U.S. the political worth of the Asian tour will be judged in the congressional and state elect- ions Tuesday. He decided against last-minute campaigning on his re- turn from Asia. Nevertheless the president, out- side the country, has probably re- ceived much wider coverage of his policies than he would had he par- ticipated in the election at home. It will be the assessment. the voters make next week which can have the greatest influence in the future U.S. course in Viet Nam. Working People, All The term "working people" is surely an all-inclusive one in society today. It includes those who work with their heads and their hands whether their collars are blue or white, The era of industrial develop- ment when the description working class was employed to segregate a section of the community is long past. In the progressive, democratic society of today all who carry their load - - are worth their salt, as the saying goes - - are, in the true sense, working people.

Whether or not it was his intention, the epistle illustrates the use unfortun- ately still possible of the expression in a derisive sense. It becomes a means of setting one section of the community apart from another. The aim too often is to divide and dominate. It is a real. danger of which we should all be aware when Oshawa affairs are discussed. What must be recognized is that working people, however they earn their pay, are basically fair-mind- ed people who will not be dictated to by labor leaders, chamber of com- merce officials, civic bureaucrats, or, the editor of The Times. Pre- sented with the facts, they'll decide for themselves the choice to make. And in this context they'll un- doubtedly agree that those work- ing people who operate their own businesses have both the right and the responsibility to take an active interest in civic affairs as was pointed out in a previous editorial. One last point in reference to the letter berating the editor: The Times is no more anti-labor than it is anti-management. It is most definitely pro-Oshawa and solidly in support of the right of all work- ing people to express opinions and take part in civic affairs. ACCORDING -- TO BOYLE.. By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK /AP)--We live today in a two-of-everything world. It is wetting so a man can't hold his head up proudly any more unless he has a two-car garage and dwells in a house that has at least two tele- phones, two television sets and two or more bathrooms. (Many of the bathrooms even have two wash basins--for Mr. and Mrs.) To be a real standout you have to have two places to 'Jive, one in the country and one in the city, and take two vacations a year, one in the winter and one in the summer. Some lucky fellows even manage to wangle two wives, one at home and one at the office. And now and then you meet a junior executive who carries iwo briefcases. Yep, it has become a two- of-everything economy. One of anything no longer seems enough, not even when it comes in a large economy size package. Whaiever it is, you buy two large economy- size packages of it. But this philosophy of dou- ble plenty breaks down com- pletely when a man goes to work. There he gets only one of everything--except perhaps in the matter of paper clips. This, I suspect, is the hidden 'eause of much of the para- noia, frustration and schizo- phrenia one encounters in moiern business life. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 5, 1966... ; Prince William of Orange landed in England 278 years ago today--in 1688--to as- sume the English throne, displacing the unpopular Catholic king, James II. The 38 - year - old Dutch prince was a_ nephew of James and had married his elder daughter, Mary, so they were crowned in 1689 as joint monarchs, William was a tough international diplomat, but alienated the Irish and Scots by brutal repression of pro-Stuart ris- ings. 1854 -- Russians failed to break the Anglo - French siege in the battle of Inker- man, 1944--The world's longest air route, from Montreal to Sydney, was inaugurated. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--an independent hered- itary monarchy of Poland was proclaimed by Austrian and German officials at Warsaw; two German war- ships were hit by torpedoes in the North Sea. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1941--Navy Minister Angus L. Macdonald said German submarines were operating within sight of Newfoundland; Orthodox Church officials said 340,000 Serbs had been killed since the German conquest of Yugoslavia. Nov. 6, 1966... First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916 -- the British steamer Arabia was torpedoed in the Mediterranean; British troops at the Somme re- treated near Butte de War- lencourt; Imperial t roo ps occupied Darfur, German East Africa: Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1941 -- President Roosevelt authorized a $1,- 000,000,000 loan to Russia; Stalin said lack of a second front tampered the Rus- sian defence; Maxim Lit- vinoy was appointed Rus- sian ambassador to the U.S.A. Te CANADA'S STORY 'PUCK' FEVER Yankees All Go Home By BOB BOWMAN Early in October, 1814, it looked as though a large part of Upper Canada would be cap- tured by the United States. De- spite the defeat at Lundy's Lane in July there were 8,000 American troops at Fort Erie on the Niagara Peninsula com- manded by Gen. George Izard. It was the largest and best- trained force to have invaded Canada. Gen. Drummond, the British commander, had less than 2,500 troops to defend the area. Then came the break which probably saved Canada. Com- modore Chauncey, who com- manded the American fleet on Lake Ontario, took his ships to Sackets Harbor for the winter. Admiral Yeo, the British naval commander, was able to bring reinforcements to Drummond, although he did so under pro- test. Yeo disliked having his ships act as army transports YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, November 5, 1941 One hundred and eighty-four members of the Oshawa Sea Cadets have joined the various branches of Active Service since the outbreak of the war. Mr. C. D. Lyons, manager of the local branch of the Canad- ian Bank of Commerce has re- tired from active service and will be replaced by Norman S. McFadyen of Owen Sound. 40 YEARS AGO, November 5, 1926 Total circulation for the month of October at the Oshawa Pub- lic Library was 5,861, of this number 4,717 books were issued to adults and 1,144 to juveniles. In the church census just com- pleted it shows there are eight- een religious denominations in Oshawa. unten QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT TA rr VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN AHEAD Provincial Unity Rediscovered At Confab This is a selection of edi- terials on current topics, translated from the French- larguage press of Canada, Montreal Le Devoir--The additional sums Ottawa will pay to the provinces during the next year will amount to some $350,000,000. This is an altogether insufficient sum when account is taken of the continually increasing obliga- tions of the provinces. This transfer represents barely three per cent of the yield of taxes which Ottawa and the provinces must share... . Towards the end of the con- ference, there appears to have been a fairly strong degree of unity among the provinces. . . . Between the positions of the premier of Quebec and those of Mr. Robarts (of On- tario) and Mr. Roblin (of Manitoba), for example, there did not appear to exist any unbridgable ditch. This rediscovered unity could be in fact the main positive result of the confer- ence. As long as Quebec was going it alone, it risked having against it not only Ottawa but also the other provinces. In place of this dangerous isola- tion, Mr. Johnson was able to substitute a happy reconcilia- tion with Ontario, Manitoba and perhaps some of the other provinces as well. Providing the provinces do not give in, they have the strength which in the months ahead could en- able them to shake seriously Ottawa's intransigence. From the tactical point of view, Mr. Johnson's position on his return to Quebec will be delicate. The premier had indicated last week that he would increase taxes if he did not obtain satisfaction at Ot- tawa. Mr. Johnson can hardly in- crease income tax in Quebec unless Ontario is disposed to do the same thing: To estab- lish a sizable difference in the rate of direct taxes between the two provinces would have the effect of exposing the weaker province to serious economic handicaps. Mr. Ro- barts must face a general election in a few months: He can hardly pay himself the luxury of an increase in taxes... . We would not be surprised if Mr. Johnson limited him- self, at the next session of the legislature, to a small in- crease in taxes, contenting himself for the time being to continuing for a year or two a vigorous fight against Ot- tawa.... Neither co-operative federal- ism at three per cent, nor a vain search for a uniformity contrary to the reality of con- crete situations, would in any way correspond to the gravity and urgency of the problems which face the governments of this country today. During the months ahead, a vigorous campaign must be waged to bring about a more equitable division of fiscal resources.-- Claude Ryan (Oct. 29) Quebec I'Action -- If Mr. Sharp succeeded in substitut- ing himself for the Canadian constitution, he has not yet abolished Canadian electors. He must sooner or later face the electoral music, and I find it difficult to see how a federal government can hope for re-election if it deliber- ately indisposes each of the provinces. It may very well be stated that provincial parties do not participate in federal election campaigns, but it can be expected that they will do something a little special to get Mr. Sharp's head. . ... Regardless of these election risks, the attitude of Mr, Sharp in the face of a com- mon approach «py the prov- inces effectively torpedoes the hopes of those who still be- lieve in the present federal- ism. His attitude even pleads in favor of Quebec independ- ence far more eloquently than could be done by Pierre Bour- gault (head of the separatist Rassemblement pour |l'inde- pendance nationale). . . . In offering various grants to the provinces, Ottawa ex- plicitiy recégnizes that it has more taxation powers than it needs. ... On the other hand, the provinces easily prove that they have not the sources of revenue needed to carry out their responsibilities decently. ... In short, looking at the problem from any angle, Ot- tawa, through Mr. Sharp, flouts the letter, the spirit and all plausible interpreta- tions of the Canadian constitu- tion. The federal government thus is encouraging the prov- inces to become more and more belligerent. That is so true that Quebec can count on the collaboration of the other provinces. . . .--Laurent La- plante (Oct. 29) Montreal La Presse--Before their departure from Ottawa, provincial delegations to the fiscal conference obtained at least mild satisfaction. A re- port of the fiscal committee, published at the express re- quest of the provincial pre- miers, confirmed what the premiers had been telling Ot- tawa throughout the week. During the next five years the provinces and municipali- ties. will be in a less favorable financial position than the central government because their expenses will increase at a faster rate than their ca- pacity to tax and their ability to find sources of revenue. and he also feared the stormy autumn weather in the narrow Niagara anchorage. There was a-clash between British and American forces at Cook's Mills on Oct. 19 during which the Americans lost 67 men largely from the effect of British rocket shells. Gen. Izard was with some of Yeo's ships landing reinforcements and thought that many more might be following. He decided not to try to hold Niagara during the winter, set fire to his base at Fort Erie and withdrew to Buf- falo Nov. 5, Instead of Upper Canada being captured, by the end of 1814 there was not a single American soldier on Canadian soil except a small force at Amherstburg on the Detroit River.

When U.S, troops move into the Mekong Delta early next year, as now expected, the war will be American-led through- out South Viet Nam. The realities of heavy casual- ties, many desertions and wa: vering morale have crept up on the South Vietnamese army. The mission of the South Vi- etnamese has become the es- sentially secondary role of pac- ification, or regional develop- ment. Even in this field, the record of the South Vietnamese is leading Americans to move in, There are reports that 25 per cent of the U.S, aid money earmarked for pacification will be spent by U.S. units next year. This year they spent only two per cert. The Americans are trying to achieve in pacification a break through similar in scale to their military successes. against the best North Vietnamese troops this year. The South Vietnamese, be- sides encouraging the move into the delta, are reported encour- aging direct American partici- pation in pacification. LOSE PREPONDERANCE The South Vietnamese have compelling reasons not to as- sert the dominant role in the war they held until earlier this year. Their armed forces have tripled in size since 1960, but the Viet Cong have increased twentyfold, not counting the in- vading North Vietnamese. The war has taken the lives of 50,000 South Vietnamese sol- diers and internecine political strife among servicemen has succeeded in removing many military leaders. Not a general left in authority is a noted strategist. Wounds are gtill open from regional rivalries that have sent whole divisions into revolt. U.S. advisers with key South Viet- namese divisions around Saigon have a "coup watch," with U.S. officers instructed to flash a warning to the American high command if a battalion turns up the road toward Saigon, South Vietnam se offivers and battal- fons are shifted hundreds of miles away when they are sus- pected of scheming. COMMAND IN DISARRAY The South Vietnamese mill- tary is hampered by a chain of command fettered with a con- fusing array of responsibilities. A typical operation in Dien Tu- ong province included rangers, regional and popular forces, special forces, national police and counter - terrorism teams. The province chief had com- mand control, the special: forces operational control. From there the chain of command sprouted off to the division commander, a special forces team at Can Tho, the corps commander, and so on. Conflicting orders often passed back down to the field. This confusion has a direct effect on provincial govern- ments, because South Viet Nam is administered by the military. The key figure is the provincial chief, who must get along with the division commander who provides the strike units to knock out the Viet Cong in his area, with the corps com- mander who can fire him, the various ministries in Saigon which provide money and sup- plies, and his American advis- ers who provide direct military support and aid materials. The South Vietnamese mili- tary structure has been weak- ened by almost 300,000 deser- tions since January, 1963. WEAK AT CAMPAIGNING Americans are loath to criti- cize the South Vietnamese fight- ing men, Day in and day out more South Vietnamese blood is being spilled than American, and there have been cases of fantastic South Vietnamese bravery. But the South Viet- mamese have proven incapable of launching the campaign-type operation that keeps men in the field for months in relentless pursuit of the enemy. The South Vietnamese army rarely stays more than one night in the field. Much of it is tied up protecting bridges and garrisoning towns--a defensive role. Consequently, the regular army suffers only 17 per cent of the casualties. The rest are borne by the regional and po- pular forces close to the enemy, who have no choice but to fight. 54 PERCENT SUPPORT LAW AGAINST MASS PICKETING By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) More than half of the Canadian population » of the issuing of court injunctions against mass in strike-bound plants. Fifty-four per cent of adults say the court injunction law is a good one; 25 percent disapprove of it. Not unexpectedly, those persons affiliated with labor unions are not as enthusiastic about court injunctions. as are non-union members. Less than half (46 per cent) the people in unions say they approve court Injunctions, to restrict the numbers in a picket line; 35 per cent diss -- approve of such restrictions, + Among non-union people, nearly six-in-ten (57 per cent) approve of the law to restrain mass picketing. Here is the question asked in the latest survey: .

Dear Sir: In Tuesday's issue you re- ported on the general un- employment trend for the school drop-outs in your city. It is, of course, a recognized problem and one which most certainly should be dealt with. However, sir, I feel compelled to ask you if you consider edu- cation to be the answer to such a serious and potentially dan- gerous situation. I myself, left school this year after having to attend summer classes. I had not completed high school but felt secure in the thought that with extra effort I could manage with grade twelve. I have been unsuccess- ful, On attempting to enter: the working world, I sensed a trend in which employers seemed to seek employees with more than adequate qualifications. I, of course, may be blinded by bitterness and quite possibl: the problem is within myself, but the fact does remain that employers can expect to fill jobs with persons who could conveivably do better. Business heads with little more than public school train- ing are now in a position to demand high school graduates. Parents and teachers are driv- ing their youth to school with threats of unemployment and failure. In a period when a child and adolescent is supposedly learn- ing to cope with life, he is ruthlessly subjected to a series of training programmes. The training, of course, bles the dumping ground for surplus American goods and will as Walter Gordon has said mean disaster economically and cre- ate wide spread unemployment. Jobs are needed for more than a million young Canadians in the next five years, As an ex- ample the Motorola Company closed up shdép" (TV division) left its Canadian dealers a few short years ago high and dry with TV sets after they pulled out of Canada. Now that the big dollar in Color TV is here they are back asking Canadians to buy made in U.S.A, TV sets. Other giant U.S, manufacturers selling in Canada like Zenith and Maytag do not contain one ounce of Canadian labor. Here in Osh- awa more and more planes arrive with U.S. parts for Gen- eral Motors. With nearly half of our cok lege graduates planning in Can- ada to leave the country it's time job opportunities are cre- ated here otherwise the mil- lions and millions spent on education {is lost to another land, while our taxes go higher -_ higher mainly for educa- tion. Let's smarten up, Canadians, or we will be next on the take- over list. DEAN J. KELLY, (Immediate Past President), Oshawa Businessmen's Asssoc, RUNNING THE CITY Dear Sir: : Sophism and bias are not the most desirable traits of a good newsp editor, but you sir, student to be of use to the world, but is this the essence of life? Mankind seems to be imitating his own mechanical computers in an effort to com- pete with them. Perhaps to some, this way of life is compatible, but what is there for those students who can't see the reasoning or feel justice in the cause? Is it our duty to support and uphold what the drop-outs and others con- sider futile? If so, I dread the demands that we, the younger generation, must make of our own children. Respectfully yours, Randolph Gostlin 1302 Dundas St. E., Whitby, Ont, TAKE-OVER THREAT Mr. Editor: Walter Gordon's statement "Free trade with U.S. would mean disaster' should be given serious attention, While others in the Liberal, P.C. and NDP parties act like the proverbial "No evil' monkies, Gordon is the only man with enough courage to speak out in pro- tection of our Canadian sover- eignty and economic self- pres- ervation. Are we so stupid we cannot see the writing on the wall? John Foster Dulles said it often enough "There are two ways of taking over a country, one is by force, the other by economic measures."" With American in- yestment in-Canada---lp-over.15 per cent in the first-half of the year we are slowly being taken over as sure as night follows the day. "'Creeping Republican- ism" is no longer creeping it's running hell bent for election and the Federal. government cannot escape criticism for their part in it. The latest action to remove the Royal Coat of Arms from the postal service is self evi- dent. Postmaster General Cote denies that the mail was ever Her Majesty's service. How come I have in my possession mail recently from a Govern- ment of Canada agency with large permanently imprinted letters "ON HER MAJESTY'S Service" across the top? Canada is fast becoming a appear plagued with both. Your anti-labour like editor- jals generally, and your just ree cent (Editorial - Monday, Oct. 24) and zealous endorsement of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merces' campaign of "business- men best for the business of running the city", is typical of the disesteem you hold for the majority of citizens of Oshawa, it's working people. As a parent, citizen and per- petual taxpayer, I too have an interest in and concern for "holding the mill rate' and 'controlling capital spending", but as least my concern is tem+ pered with an honest consideras tion of the facts and essentials. No one can dispute that the controversial parkway project was the result of careful and professional survey, In as busie nesslike a fashion as possible, it was ruled to be of the utmost importance to the continued growth and prosperity of our city. It's relatively simple to gar- nish a heap of emotional sup- port of any campaign of "'eas- ing the tax load," but do these "pie in the sky", would be poli- ticians really believe that the postponement, or even the can- cellation of this parkway pro- ject would in the long run bene- fit the city or it's taxpayers? I'm reasonably confident that the majority of conscientious citizens will not be taken in by this negative, "ostrich-type"' thinking. If as you stiggest, the busi- nessmen of Oshawa are the most prudent and competent te manage our civic affairs, then it would seem only fair and pro- per that they also assume res- ponsibility of its' financial bur den. : In conclusion, your repudia- tion of any but "successful businessmen," many of whom were born not made, must sure- ly be deflating to our present Members of Parliament. Mr. Starr and Mr. Walker, neither of whom were so. fortunately endowed, at least not prior to their making the big time. Sincerely, Steve Melnichuk. 585 Fernhill Blvd. Oshawa, Ont.
