She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1967 Quebec Leaders Should Put De Gaulle In Place further esca- issue would be only lated. Thus the responsibility The hassle over who would play host to General de Gaulle, where and when seems now to belong to another era, Yet but a week or so ago these considerations of protocol were the chief concern of the federal and Quebec governments in regard to his visit to Canada. Today, as the arrogant old med- dler persists in attempting to inter- fere in solely Canadian affairs, even from his own bailiwick, it would seem to be Quebec's prerogative and responsibility to put him in his place. Nothing in de Gaulle's back- ground can lead us to believe for one moment he would back down, Jet alone apologize for his irrespon- sible rudeness. The tone and nature of the statement issued in Paris after a prolonged cabinet meeting were to be expected. Prime Minister Pearson had al- ready admirably expressed the Cana- dian position to de Gaulle, precipi- tating his early departure from Can- ada. Little is to be gained from a further federa! rebuke damage in fact, could result to Can- ada and France if the prime minis- ter was forced to take the extreme measure of breaking off relations with France.

Nothing can scuttle his campaign quicker than a decisive the Quebec government to rebuke from the government he strives to take under his wing. Mayor Drapeau of Montreal set the proper pattern when he informed General de Gaulle that Canada is able to solve its own problems and, that while French Canadians have a special feeling for France, they have an immediate loyalty and in- separable interest in Canada. Prem. ier Johnson gave some indication in response to the latest French state- ment that the interest of de Gaulle is not appreciated. "I think we can solve Canada's political problem in Canada", the Quebec Premier said. Premier Johnson is on the correct course but stronger emphasis is re- quired to remove all possible doubt. It has been largely the posturing of Quebee politicians that has precipi- tated this ridiculous situation.

OTTAWA REPORT Subtle Judgment In Opposition Role By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The verdict of the people today is that our MPs waste time on too much politi- cal fighting: in the House of Commons.

SP , QUEEN'S PARK Planned Production Key Point By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A year ago the main development out of the in. itial Ontario Farm Conference at Vineland was the first step towards planned overall pro- duction for the farm industry. Farm leaders developed the first stage of a thesis that a main hope for a_ prosperous farm economy in the future lay in production that would meet market demands, and not flood the market with one product while there were shortages in another. At this year's conference, just concluded at Kemptville, this theme was developed further. The business of this confer- ence was to consider a siudy on farm incomes, prepared by the well known western firm of re- search economists Hedlin-Men- zies. HAD THEME And _ planned production was the main theme of the Hedlin- Menzies report, It found that increased pro- ductivity, as such, did not in- crease farm incomes. That contrary to popular thought better productivity meant no long-term financial gains to the farmer. Only in the first stages, when eine Ni PAN- ren GAMES vi Oe FOREIGN AFFAIRS . ANALYSIS Has U.S. Won Cold War? y PHILIP DEANE BA Affairs Analyst Reports thatrseem authentic have appeared in the press of the major world capitals telling us that Gen de Gaulle thinks the United States has won the cold war and that this victory unsettles the balance of power he considers essential. In a sense, the American vic- tory does seem prétty comple'e and must be worrying the Rus- sians. In the economic field, the consumer-oriented economy of the U.S. has proved spectacular- ly successful; despite all the gloomy predictions of Commu- nist theory about the inevitable collapse of the capitalist sys- tem, the U.S.--abstracting its Negro minority--goes on get- ting richer and richer. As Mr. Rusk points out, his country's gross national products equais that of Japan and all the NATO countries combined, and is dou- ble that of Russia. This American prosperity has proved irresistibly attractive as an example to the people of Russia and other European Communist countries; their in- sistent demands for more con- sumer goods, for greater cun- trol by the individual on the disposition of his earnings, have brought about fundamental changes in Communist coyn- tries. Communist economic planners talk of leaving plan- ning to factory managers and allowing them to be guided not by a central master blueprint but by the good old capitaiist laws of supply, demand and profits.

Mark 16:20 When the Saviour is with us the signs will follow. "I am with you," have with much more independ- ence than Tito dared show in the early days of his anti- Moscow heresy. Romania asks for the abolition of the Warsaw Pact, her neighbors talk of mil- itary disengagement in Europe; Romania breaks with the other Communists over the Middle East. In the Middle East, the Arabs, backed by Russia, col- lapse miserably. China's com- munism collapses; Chinese troubles have their bright side for Russians who have always fared the 'yellow peril' and are an ideologically satisfying proof that Marx and Lenin were correct in saying revolu- tion can succeed only in indus- trial regions, whereas Mao has always said the peasantry has superior revolutionary poten- tial. But despite these fine doctri- nal points, the fact remains Vancouver Island Gained For Britain By Fur Trader , By BOB BOWMAN Strange as it may seem, it took a 'fur-trader "huckster" to claim. Vancouver Island for Britain. His name was strange at that: James Strange, from Bombay, representing the East Indi: Company which had a fur trading monopoly on the nor- thwest coast of North America. Captain James Cook in 1778 explored the Pacific Coast as far north as the Bering Sea, using Nootka Sound as a base. However, he neglected to claim the area for Britain, or there is no record of his. having done so. James Strange was a show- man. When he began trading with the Indians, he kept beat- ing 2 pair of cymbols and sang a song which he nade up as he went along. Indians liked the song so much that they asked for an encore, but he had for- gotten it. However, the Indians hummed the tune for him, and he had to make up new words! From. that time on he had to sing for his furs. So Strange went through col- orful ceremonies when claiming Vancouver Island for Britain Aug. 2, 1786, and Queen Char- lotte Sound a few days later, uss un vi avn HF HER? po agi ° i SoA ew 150 YEARS AGO A recused) wets | (1768-1813) INGILTONWEHIDE GREATEST oF HE GREAT INDIAN OFA WHALE FA LENDERS His FOLLOWERS WERE HALE f LEGION --FROM THE MOHAWK RIVER 3 IN THE EAST To THEARKANSAS IN THE } WEST, FROM LAKE SUPERIOR 1 We 2 GULF oF MEXICO.

Once the innovation was in general use competition knocked down the price, and 'any benefit. went to the con- sumer. MADE PROPOSALS Out of this finding and other findings in the study it made various broad proposals on poli- cy. But integral to all was this key point of last year: planned production. Which means, it would seem, that eventually the farmer will have to say good-bye to a let of his traditional individualism. The report strongly endorses the average-sized, family-owned farm as the most efficient unit. But to be efficientt his unit will have to work under planned production. TELL TELL FARMERS And this means that the state in some way or other--possibly through incentive bonuses--is going to have to tell the farmer what to produce. There seems no doubt at all that eventually we are heading for production control. To work this will. have to apply to practically the whole farm community. And on such a scale it can really only be handled by the state. On the secondary level there probably could be boards made up of industry represent- atives handling the program. But the final say--and direc- tion--will have to be with the government. Many farmers may not like . But they also probably will be quick to recognize there is no other way. Their leadership already is beginning to grant this, that communism has failed in a poor country, that Russian help was no real help to the Arabs, that Eastern Europeans are at- tracted by the U.S.--in other words, communism has been tried and rejected. Is it likely that other underdeveloped coun- tries will try it? In this sense, the U.S. has won the cold war. In this sense too, she is more dominant than she was, a circumstance that de Gaulle deplores. But though the political balance may have altered in Washington's favor, the military balance of terror remains. Russia is secure; being less menacing, she may even become more attractive to neutral nations, as the U.S. continues being bogged down in Vietnam and faces riots by her colored minority. In the white- versus-colored contest, perhaps the most important contest, Russia may be drawing ahead. After seeing Queen Charlotte Sound from the top of a moun- it tain, Strange wrofe in his diary: "Tt surpasses far in appear- ance, both in beauty and extent any other Sound as yet discov- ered on this coast." To com memorate the occasion, he cut a hole in a large tree, and de- posited copper, iron, and beads, as well: as a document which included the names of his ships, and the date. The copper in the tree was discovered in 1936, just 150 years after he left it there OTHER AUG. 2 EVENTS: 1818--Crops of Selkirk settlers were destroyed by locusts. 1858--Imperial act provided governn.ent and named main- land British Columbia.
