Tribute To APEC

If imitation be the sincerest form of flattery, then the founders of the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, and all connected with its activities, can take satisfaction in the new move for regional economic co-operation which has been laun- ched in the Prairies. Premier Man- ning of Alberta met with Premier Roblin of Manitoba in Winnipeg last week, and they agreed to explore the possibility of establishing 9. Prairie Provinces Economic Council.

From Saskatchewan comes word that Premier Thatcher believes the idea “has much merit” and is ready to discuss it with the other prem- iers at any time. Backing for the proposal from the three premiers of different politics is a. significant move in itself. There is word also that it is assured of support from opposition parties, at least in Saskatchewan where Mr. Lloyd, former NDP premier, is for it and Mr. Pedersen, provincial Conserva- tive leader, is openly enthusiastic.

Specific proposals for a regional economic council on the Prairies were prepared by Mr. Roblin’s Manitoba government back in 1959. These studies never have been re- leased, but the Premier revealed in a speech to the Canadian Tax Foun- dation at the time that he was thinking of an organization modelled on APEC, which was then five years old.

The idea, reportedly, lay dor- mant until last week. when Premier Manning of Alberta took it up pub- licly. He has described it as an advisory council “to establish closer co-operation between the three Prairie provinces, and to co-ordinate various programs to the advantage of the whole region.”

It is noted that communication between the three provinces has im- proved in many ways since Mr. Roblin proposed the council in 1959. Notably there are the Council of Resources Ministers. the regular premiers’ meetings and increasing- ly frequent federal-provincial con- ferences.

But undoubtedly it has been the example of APEC that has given the movement its greatest impetus. Which goes to show that while we export a considerable amount of our brains to the West, we still keep a substantial part of them at home.

Mr. Deachman's Offense Parliament has apparently drop- ped the question of investigating the action of Mr. Grant Deachman, the Vancouver Liberal whose sign- ed article revealing what occurred in private flag committee sessions was published before the committee report had been given to the House last week. Mr. Deachman has made an apology of sorts, and that appears to have been deemed sufficient. But more was expected from Prime Minister Pearson than merely a denial that there Was any collusion between Mr. Deachman and the government in the‘matter. That charge, or insinuation, was not warranted by the evidence; nor can we imagine that Mr. Pearson would give his sanction to any such breach of parliamentary ethics. Nevertheless. it was expected of l him that he would speak out in con- ‘ demnation of an action which in- l valved the good faith of Liberal , members and the effectiveness of i the committee system. For Mr. I Daachmhn plainly acted in defiance I or the committee rule that. in the H words of Mr. Harman Batten, the [4 “we .11on keep l l f l

our counsel. meet in camera and have any statements made by the chairman after consultation with the other members."

In his article in the Ottawa Citizen which reached Parliament Hill 45 minutes before the House met, Mr. Deachman made this curious statement: “Here is the in- side story which I am now free to tell provided I do not attribute votes or statements to individuals on the committee or reveal the confidential testimony of witnesses.” Mr. Pear- son should have been among the first to demand an explanation of these words.

Mr. Deachman said he had been congratulated on his article by a number of Liberal members; but that was not the way Liberals were talking after the matter came up in the Commons. “They were furi- ous.” reports one correspondent, “that he had given the Conserva- tives a chance to blur the issue at a time when the committee was pro- ducing a report favorable to the Government's cause." There is a point here to be clarified. as well.

In the brief discussion that took place it was mentioned that the editor of The Citizen is a nephew of the Prime Minister. Here again. it would be quite unfair to construe this as a reflection on Mr. Pearson in any way; but in the circum- stances one would expect that he would do more than dissociate his government from responsibility in the matter. It is regrettable that he didn’t seize the opportunity of voic- ing his disapproval in no uncertain terms.

Also Running

Most people have forgotten that. in today's U.S. election the Repub- licans and Democrats are not the only parties to have nominated can- didates for President in the field. There is at least a dozen other con- tenders. each with his own panacea for the world‘s ills.

One of them, indeed—Homer Tomlinson—styles himself King of the World, and in expectation of an easy victory has already released a list of his cabinet. It probably sur- prised no one more than Cardinal Cushing of Boston to find himself elevated to this henor.

Another candidate for the White House who has failed so far to at- tract attention is one Emil Matalik, a Wisconsin farmer, who is seeking the presidency on what he claims to be the UN Party ticket. In a newspaper article that appears next to an advertisement offering “The Magical Secret of Love” in plain brown wrapper Mr. Matalik outlines his policies.

“If elected President of this country,” he writes. “I would push for free land for everyone, adminis- tered by a drastically strengthened United Nations. One of my major proposals is for the world to donate their land to the UN. I have offer- ed four times to donate to the UN 20 acres I own in Wisconsin, to start the ball rolling on my free land proposal. Each time the offer has been turned down.”

The UN candidate takes a dim view of all religions. “Religion,” he writes, “has good faucets ( ?) which I’m not against, but in religion’s existence glaring bad e x a m p l e s have and still exist for example: superstition, smoking. drinking, and trouble for millions of people.” Booklearning also he places on the subversive list, along with “relig- ions, drinking and shooting” which should be put a stop to by the John Birch Society, Ku Klux Klansmen, athiests and people suffering from “mental health”.

Mr. Matalik also fears the threat of overpopulation and international drought—evils which he succeeds in linking together. “Severe droughts," he says, “can be attributed to over- population. The average person. has also 100 lbs. of water in his body. With some three billion persons on earth, there are 300 billion pounds of water walking around on earth which could go to fill reservoirs. streams and lakes . . ."

Yesterday we pictured Senator Goldwater as an undesirable presi- dential possibility in the contest. We still see him that way; but after reading about Mr. Matalik we've come to the conclusion that there could be even worse misfortunes attendant upon the voting.

ANOTHER ONEIN ORBIT

OTTAWA REPORT By

Horkness On Defense Reorganization

“The reorganization of Can- i whilst assuring the defence and t itary matters in our parliament,

ada’s Defence orces" was thel

good name of Canada. He

re- j

and this gavesubsta-nce and sig-

subject of a series of speeches . mains today. as he was then. the nificance to us speeches to the

which our former Defence Min- ister, Hon. Douglas Harkness., delivered during a recent tour of ' Canadian Clubs in western ci- ties.

On his two week circuit. Col- onel Harkness spoke n Winni- peg twice. in Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Regina, Medicine Hat. Vancouver, Victoria and Brandon. His audiences enjoy- ed an “Inside Defence Head-l quarters" view of the foreignl and defence policies of Canada, | and the kind of forces we need I to implement them. ‘.

“Canada‘s defence policy for the past 15 years has been bas- l ed on two major objectives," he I explained, “First. 0 maintain

outbreak of a third world war; and second. to prevent Canada, I or any other free nation. from being subjugated by the com- munist alliance." l

He went on to point out that

Canada. a smaller nation. could 1 best attain these objectivesl through active participation inl alliances, such as the United’ Nations. NATO and NORAD. The size. composition and organ» ization of our defence forces have been. and must be. geared to our obligations under these international alliances for self- defence.

NUCLEAR ARMS?

This raised two points which Col. Harkness reviewed in some detail in all his speeches.

"Som anadians have es tinned the value and desirability ‘ of the military contribution which we make to NATO. and have demanded that we with- draw our forces." he said. “Oth- ers. whilst acknowledging value of NATO. seem to think that we should have a free ride. Yet others have a repugnance to nuclear weapons and appear to think that we can avoid any moral guilt for their existence in the alliance if we refuse to have anything to do with them our- selves. I submit that such atti- tudes are neither responsible nor realistic."

These words echo the nuclear arms crisis within the Diefenba- ker cabinet, which led directly to the resignation of Col. Hark- ness. He insis — an most Canadians would agree with him - that Canada should not de- fault on international commit- ments, and hence should honour our actual or implied commit- ment to mount nuclear warheads on the appropriate carriers 81- 1 ready supplied to our forces.

His second topic was the pre- sent proposal to reorganize our armed forces. This, he pointed out, involves two processes which are often confused and spoken of as if they were 0 and the same thing: unification of command, and integration of the forces.

MEN NOT NUTS AND BOLTS

The government appears to have retreated from comprehen- sive integration of the forces, which is unrealistic because it implies that bodies are inter- changeable. Col. Harkness point- ed out—and as World War II commander, and a gallant sold- ier who won the George Medal,

he knows -— that men in uniform are not uniform. An infantry of- ficer cannot be switched with a jet pilot. he said. I

Integration of command at De- fence headquarters offera the at- traction of some economies, but this return to the obsolete doc- trine of the Supreme Comman- der will bring the Minister pos- sibly unbalanced and misleading advice.

Col. Harkness was especially critical of he weakening of our defence posture thrth exces- sive and foolish cute in our re-

serves.

To our men in uniform, Doug Harimess as Minister was "one of us." He was familiar with the life and problems in our defence forces. and he fought the good fight to protect their interests

One Year Of Trustees

Montreal

Canada has now passed the first anniversary of one of the most startling events in its re- cent history. The quietness — even the forgetfulness— witn which this anniversary was al lowed to slip by is in contrast to what was happening a year a o.

For on October 23, 1963. the federal government named Mr. Justice Victor Dryer. J u d g e Ron-e Lippe and Charles H. Mill- ard as trustees to administer the powerful Seafarers' Interna- tional Union of Canada.

The unprecedented move un- leashed violent reaction which, at cm time. went so far as to imperil relations between the Canadian and United States gov- ernments.

'lfiie hectic ensuing months were featured by such headline actions as the dismissal of Hat Banks from his post as pre- sident of the SIU. the possibility of a total boycott of Canadian shipping in American Great Lakes ports. and daily skirmish- es on the explosive issue in the House of Commons.

The storm is far from over yet. But at least. it has abated. And the three men who had to take over a year ago can look

Gazette

back on their first year in of- fice with a good deal of satis- faction.

The night the trustees were appointed, they held a press conference in Ottawa and out- lined three main objectives. They were: (1) to get Canadian ships moving again on the Great Lakes (they were tied up be- cause of an SIU walkout to pro- test the trusteeship); (2) to put an end to labor strife on th e Great Lakes: and (3) to rehab- ilitate the controversial SIU

Their first objective was real- ized almost immediately as the seamen voted to return to work on October 24. Their second ob jective has been attained this year at least. as there has not been any trouble on the Lakes. The long-range third phase of their plan is underway and in- cludes such features as demo- cratic elections and numerous internal changes.

The work of the trustees is still a long way from b etc 3 done; for this third phase is the most complex and the most important of all. But they have come a long way from the wild turbulEnce in which their work began at this time is st

Girls Outdrow Johnson

Revolutionary i d e a s are being formed as a result of the discovery by Dr. Eckhard H. Hess of Chicago that “your eyes give away your lies."

With his finding that pupils grow smaller as the story grows taller, it's in'i- mated that eye examinations may replace lie detector tests

Dr. Hess is head of the Uni- versity of Chicago's depart- ment of psychology. Experi- ments, he says, show that eve pupils indicate true feelings when the person remains silent

If the person sees something he likes. the pupils get larg er. If he sees something he doesn‘t like, they get smaller.

“It is as if we were look i n g into the subject's brain and measuring his subjective feel- ings without the need of a ver- bal report," Dr. Hess states.

He said the technique has been used to uncover real feelings about such things as politics,

and sex. And when it comes to strong feelings. he

the

said. politics will never replace sex. even in an election year.

In a current experiment, Dr. Hess reported, 34 university students who expressed sup- port for President Johnson were shown photographs of a num- ber of political figures, inclu- ding the president and his Re- publican opponent, Senator Barry Goldwater.

Motion pictures taken of the student's eye Pupils showed that Johnson evoked the most favorable response. But about one - third responded favor- ably to Goldwater, indicating — to Dr. Hess — that the tech nique may be able to draw out subjective feelings that a per- son would noi be willing to put into words.

Political pictures produced changes of 4 to 5 per cent in pupil sizes. Food trigger- ed higher responses.

And sex? A photograph of a girl might expand a man's pu- pils 41 per cent — or about mes more than a picture of a politician.

First Used In Australia

Nationai Geographic Society

The estimated 75 million Am- ericans who will vote for DI‘CSI' dent. vice- presldeni and other officers Nov. 3 will be using a system developed in Australia.

“Kangaroo voting" was the derisive name first given to the practice of secret voting on of- ficially printed,ballots adopted in the United States in 1888. In those days, women didn't vote at all. and it was considered un- manly to do so in private.

Voice voting had been the rule. Citizens gathered at the polling plares and announced their c h o i c e s to an election judge— usually the mayor, sher- iff or coroner. As each citizen uttered his choice, partisan crowds responded with catcaila or cheers.

The chaotic situation was an ed when secret voting in nation- al elections became federal law in 1875. But the absence of offl- ficial ballots still left the indivi-

dual voter somewbat exposed to the public gaze. Political parties printed ballots for the “conven- ience” of the voter. They used colored paper. however, and poll watchers could tell at a glance who was voting for whom.

The parties stayed one step ahead. even after a law requir- ing uniform white ballots was passed. They used paper of dis ferent textures so that party ob- servers who handled the ballots at the polls would know whlca way a person had voted.

In use, the system of secret balloting on officially printed forms was adopted in South Aus trails. Years later. the practice spread to the United States and Europe.

Am bulotion After Attacks

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dalian

For many years, victim of heart attacks were advised to remain in bed for six weeks and

to work. Three months of inactivr lty seemed like eternity because the majority had no pain after the first day in bed, The medic- al profession then found it safe to modify the initial six- week period by allowing the patient to sit in a chair and use a com- mode next to the bed.

A Puertc Rican heart special- ist now recommends ambula- tion within 24 hours after the at- tack of coronary thrombosis, barring certain complications. The program begins with sitv ting up in bed, dangling the legs over the side, and then moving into a chair where he feeds him- self. Bathroom privileges are in- cluded. From this point on, more and more time is spent out of bed and walking about

Dr. Andres E. Salazar believ- es early ambulation is a great morale booster. He insists on be- ing in the room when the indi. vidual first gets up, to lend en- couragement and psychological support. He checks pulse, res- piration, and blood pressure and inquires about chest pain. Back to bed is the answer if irregul- arities are noted.

There have been no deaths in a group of 111 cases in which this routine was carried out. These persons avoided the sad experience of apprehension and hopelessness that goes with ab- solute bed rest.

Most physicians have aban- doned the strict rest regi- men but many disagree With ambulation within 24 hours. Changes take place in the heart during the two week period af- cr a coronary artery is ob- structed and it seems desirable to minimize effort at this time.

Complete healing u s u a i ly takes three weeks—shorter per- haps after a mild attack and longer after a moderate to se- vere attack. In addition. there is more to recovery and to te prevention of another coronary than early ambulation. By this we mean the future diet. use of tobacco, exercise, and the avoidance of tension.

GOING DEAF

C. M. writes: My wife. aged 56, has been getting hard of hearing gradually but won't own up to it. Would a hearing aid help a slow deterioration of this kind.

REPLY

This would depend upon the cause of the hearing loss. A hearing aid might help in otos- cierosis or in presbycusis, the hearing loss some people deve- lop as they grow older.
