Ottawa Will Make Final Ruling On TCA Monopoly

OTTAWA (CP) — Decision on whether Trans-Canada Air Lines’ monpoly on trans - continental service will be relaxed will she made by the federal government, Transport Minister Flees said Wednesday.

While the air transport board is to hold hearings on two ap- plications by carriers for compet- ing services, Mr. Hees told the Commons, the final verdict will be that of the Government itself.

Mr. Hees was replying tp charges by Lionel C'hevrrier (L— Montreal Laurier), former tun-s- port minister, that the present minister has taken “incongruous” and “contradictory” positions on the status of the publicly-owned TCA before and after becoming a cabinet member.

The debate developed as the House discussed a measure to set up its sessional committee for examination'of the affairs of the CNIR, TCA and Canadian Na- tional Steam-ships, all publicly- owned. ~

The committee, whose estab- lishment was approved, is ex- pected to begin hearings Monday, starting with the CNR.

SABOTAGE SERVICE During the discussion,'Mr. Che--

vrier accused the present govern- ment of participating in “sabotag-

ing” the CNS’ West .ndies serv- ice. -

The eight-ship fleet of thr CNIS now is up for sale to private op- erators as the result of a long strike deadlock between the com- pany and the Seafarer-5' Interna- tional Union-(CDC).

Mr. Chevrier said he does not blame the government exclusively for ending ,the.West Indian serv- ice, but- it was “a party to sabotaging” the service.

When the Conservatives were in opposition, he said, they had cla- mored for increasing the West in- dies-Canada facilities as a means of expanding trade that partic- ularly affected the Atlantic prov- inces.

He said it was extremely dis- appointing to_ see “a complete capitulation by the government in the face of difficulties that could have been overcome.”

A OCF member — Frank How- ard of British Columbia's Skeena riding-400k the government to task for what he described as “ruthless and ‘ callous disregard of CNR employees when it comes to layoffs. .

“This must be looked at closely",

DIFFERENT ATTITUDES

In the discussion on TCA’s transcontinental monopoly, A, Mr.

Chevrier accused Mr. Hees of taking successively three differ- ent attitudes: .

.1. In opposition as a private Commons member, calling for all-out competition between TCA and private carriers.

2. Declaring last Feb. 7, in_a-n election campaign speech at Tim- mins, Ont., that TCA’r monopoly must cease. .e ‘

3,,Now seemingly favoring “gradual competition.”

“As far as I am aware} Mr. Hees said, “at no time while I was at Tim-mins did I say that the TCA monopoly must cease. That was the interpretation taken from my speech‘by' those report- ing it.” _ ,

Mr Chevrier, also referred to the report recently received by the government from Stephen Wheatcroft, British air consult- ant, suggesting Canada will not be able to support economically two transcontinental services before 1966.

He wanted to know whether the government whs going to adopt this report.

Mr. Hees replied the Wheatcroft report would be a guide for the Air Transport Board in the exam- ination of franchise applications before it. But the decisions would be made by the government, on recommendation of the board.

EXPRESSION OF RELIGION

Personal initiative is the first need in any form of work. Any- one can follow an established routine; it is the man who thinks for himself who discerns the need of the moment and is up at it be- fore anyone else has a chance to tell him what to do. '

There is a world of difference between the helper who does what he is told and 'waits to be told, and the one who makes the job his own and sees something in it that no one else has seen.

Each of us has a contribution to make to every situation in which he finds himself, but there must be the idea behind the act which brings the mind and soul of the worker into his work.

“Thank God!” a western farm- er exclaimed when told of the arrival of a representative of an eastern implement company. It was rather an unusual happening for a debtor to rejoice at the

'coming of an agent of that sort,

but, unfortunately, the occasion was unusual.

It was during the terrible drought and depression of the early thirties when neither the company nor their customers knew what to do.'This farmer had been told that a new agent had been sent instead of the man with whom he had been dealing, and was glad .to hear that this was not so and that he had to deal with lone who understood him and his situation.

Now this particular “collec- tor” was welcomed because he had made a study of each‘ man with whom his company was dealing, his character and his circumstances, and was noted, not only for serving his company faithfully but also for helping its customers in every way open to him. And he believed that this was a required expression of his religion. , ' SURPRISE

We remember our surprise when we first heard the expres- sion “a divine discontent.”

We had always associated dis- content with complaining, a spirit the very opposite of that which found welcome opportun- ity in his lot.

Well, the only discontent that can be called “divine” is that which finds places for improve- ment in the work he is called to do, and brings new ideas and a new spirit into his work.

There is an unfortunate spirit '

abroad that regards work as an evil which must be escaped as far as possible.

Shorter hours with the take-home-pay

same is a cry with

ii. which We are familiar. The call

to increase the productiveness of each work-hour has not received as warm a welcome.

Now the number of hours in a working day must be decided by the character of the work one has to do, and only those with personal experience have a right to/judge. But work to do and strength to do it are gifts of God, and, each worker is a stew- ard whom God expects to be faithful.

Experience develops the artist, and the artist in any occupation is the one whose work has a qual- ity which commands admiration and respect.

I owe this to God; the Giver of my gifts expects me to culti-

a way that observers will notice a divine quality “in their d-uc-t.

PRINCIPLES

There are moral and spiritual principles involved in every job one does. Fidelity, honor and honesty, the skill of the expert

son served are general consider- ations expected of all. ‘ '

So many of the services of our time are impersonal; there is no association between the worker and the one he serves. And yet people benefit by good work well done. Only two or three times in my life did I meet the engineer who drove my train, but in every mile of the thou- sands I have travelled I have felt that I was being served by one who had put his life between me and danger.

We expect this in‘ our travels and we are getting it in tens of thousands of cases.

But our concern today is with the man who is not content with routine, -but who sees in his work a quality and a chance to help in a way unnoticed by others. Observers had viewed the work to be done from with- out, but he uhderstands it from within, and his experience shows him defects and possibilities that outsiders had passed by.

A young student was sent to a far-flung miss-ion field with certain duties prescribed for him, but soon he saw a way 30f doubling his usefulness.

It called for greater effort on his part, but he had the strength needed and there was the oppor- tunity, and by broadening the service rendered be multiplied the returns. A young man had to take over an old farm, and by

introducing modern methods, be

doubled its yield in five years.

Many a business has prospered because a new way was discov- ered of providing for the people’s needs. The man with an idea be- comes the creative factor in any situation when he puts himself into bringing it down to earth.

This is what Robert Browning

calls converting air into a solid he can chape and use,” by which

a man finds progress. Such pro- gress benefits others first, and by so doing gives the worker the deepest satisfaction he can know.

Plan Nuclear Talk Despite Red Coolness

GENEVA (:Reuters)—~Plans for East-West technical talks next week on policing :1 nuclear test ban went ahead here Thursday despite a Soviet threat to boycott the conference.

The general impression among Wes'tern delegates is that Russia and other Soviet - bloc countries will show up Tuesday for the start of the talks.

There has been no definite word of Soviet intehtions since a bomb- shell declaration from Moscow 24 hours ago demanding an Amer- ican assurance that the ultimate aim of the technical talks is sus- pension of nuclear tests.

'A US. reply to this aide memoire was handed to Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko in Moscow this morning. It said that, as far as the West is con- cerned, the conference would proceed as agreed in previous ex- changes of notes — namely tech- nical instead of political talks.

British and French officials an- nounced Thursday their govern- ments still intend to send their experts and Canada has told Dr. 0. M. Solandt, her represent- ative, to proceed with plans to be in Geneva. '

Russia Tuesday named its sci- entists for the talks and agreed to the conference preparations. Twenty-four hours later came the unexpected aide memoire.

This declared that if the United States did not give the required assurances “there is no need to send experts to the conference.” NA’I‘O’s permanent council dis- cussed the soviet move in a pri- vate Paris meeting Thursday. None of the 15 member coun- tries suggested the Geneva meet- ing should be called off or post- poned. Most delegates expressed the belief that the Soviet—bloc del- egates would appear on sched-
