India and Pakistan would wel- come the opportunity of getting un- der the umbrella of the United Na- tions to end their suicidal feuding over Kashmir. The brooding shadow of Chinese power should be enough. at least. to bring India to heel in this regard But [rime Minister Shastri is talking big again, warning the “big powers’-—he means Britain and the United States, chiefly—not -to “force a setilement” of the con- flict unless sanctioned by India. And India is dead opposed to a plebiscite in the disputed arga, which UN resol- utions have supported. A British proposal seeks to get arolind this difficulty by giving local autonomy to Kashmir with some min- or adjustments on her borders. In- of Circulation *” dia would have to forfeit the right to oo Peto as ayers ,fense”’, as pile agreement between Canada and -— annex Kashmir and Pakistan would ave to give up her claim to a plebis- cite that would give her control of the area. This: imperfect but sen- sible compromise, which would re quire a United Nations presence to enforce, is acceptable to neither’side. It's all or nothing with them. Each side is accusing the other of having roken last week’s UN ceasefire or- r. Each side is saying that if the ¢@ther doesn’t get out unconditionally, “there’s going to be trouble.” & This is the situation és the UN @easefire supervisory force prepares” to move in, headed by Major-General Bruce F. MacDonald, a Ganadian of- ficer who helped keep thé peace in troubled Cyprus for six months. An- other Canadian, Group Captain B. G. Murray of Calgary, will be senior air officer of the mission. Canada will provide the nucleus of the new force, which is expected to grow to thous- ands before long.

And the.time to do that is now, before the shooting gets out ‘of hand again. Free Trade Travesty _ It took an American senator, -Paul Douglas of Illinois, fo make clear what a travesty of free trade is the automo- the United ‘States. The agreement~ was up for ratification by the U.S. Senate recently, and Senator Doug- las was incredulous that the Cana- dian people and their government had accepted it without some guar- ntee from auto manufacturers that ey would reduce their prices. : Senator Dougias took note of the fact that auto manufacturers are now free to import American cars with- gut paying the previous tariff of 1714 r cent, yet they are still. passing e cars on to their dealers at the ld prices. - The cost to the Canadian eople in remitted duties this year ill be more than $50 million, for Which they have’ nothing to show ex- ¢ept statements of intention from the manufacturers saying they will in- crease Canadian production. “If I were John Diefenbaker,” Senator Douglas said, “I'd go to town on that- one.” He was ioined in his comments by U.S. treasurer Merlyn Trued, who estimated that the plan will bring no improvement for Canada. Accord- ing to Mr. Trued, Canada will con- ay more cars and parts from \ the U.S. than it will sell south of the » border. Canada’s automotive trade | deficit in 1968 will be $580 million, he suggested, about the same as it was in 1964 Many questions and doubts along this line have been raised durityg the Senate's committee hearings. It’s time ~-for- Ottawa to-answer-the American statements. -On this point we note a curious comment in the Winnepeg Free Press, a Liberal paper which finds it hard to swalfew the auto deal but has equal difficulty in saying any- thing that would improve Mr. Dief- enbaker's chances of “going to town” on the issue. “Perhaps,” ’ savs the Winnipeg paper,. ‘an election campaign is not- the time to expect the government to crack down on the auto industry, but ‘it should do so immediately the elec- tion is over. Failing an early reduc- -tion in prices-the- government-should cut tariffs on European cars and give the Canadian car buyer the same priv- ilege it has given the manufacturers; let him: import his American car free of duty. The auto industry would soon fall into line.” That's just ‘wishful thinking, though. If the government isn’t forc- éd by public opinion to ‘crack down on the auto industry" before the elec- tion, the odds are that it will feel no compulsion to do so afterwards. Another Bad Break Now it’s Mr. Diefenbaker who has been ‘wrapping himself in the flag.” °Mr. Pearson led off by projecting the new Canadian flag into politics, nine months after Parliament had approv- ed it and after he had appealed to all parties to ‘forget divisions and __differences—_of this—debate—and—rally- round this Maple Leaf emblem.’’ He ‘boasted of the “leadership, decision and courage”: required to secure the flag against “bitter opposition” in the Commons, thus reopening the wounds of the debate “by claimimg it as a | Liberal trophy-We expeétéd Mr. Dief- ' enbaker would seize the opportunity to administer a dignified rebuke to such deplorable tactics. Instead, he’s rushed out- and done: likewise. Perhaps it was his party follow- ers who were chiefly to blame for the flag-wagging they did at the Con- servative leader's opening campaign meeting-in-St—John's-over-the week- end. But.Mr. Diefenbaker took full advantage of the Union Jacks which were displayed everywhere, to fight the dead issue all over again. Our politicans are playing with dynamite by harping on this subject and permitting the gaudy display of flags to point up their political argu- | ments. Why can’t they follow the | example of the Royal Canadian Leg- ion, which_had the best right _to_be . disregarded: The Legion, in the in- terests of national unity, has accept- lic buildings across the country. That ended the controversy so far as this organization of men who fought for their -country--when ssi en _ fighting to be done, was toncerned. It ought to be enough for our political gladiators on both sides. The Maple Leaf flag is our nation- al flag; the Union Jack is our Com- monwealth emblem. - We should in- sist on keeping them off the hustings 7 | altogether, since their only use there appears to be as decorative pieces of party propaganda.

But if he means that nothing _-unpleasant’such as the Dorion Report should .be discussed, he is off base altogether. : . ° When the Conservative MP, Mr. Nielsen, raised in the Commons the allegations which led to the Dorion inquiry, Justice Minister Favreau _ cried ‘smear’ and “innuendo” and the Liberal backbenchers applauded. Nevertheless the Dorion inquiry led to a report which said, among many | other points demanding discussion in- an election campaign, that a Liberal; } z= | - intend to spend-time dealing with minister's executive assistant had | been offered $20,000 to obstruct the | course of justice.

In uphold- ing its repurtation for accuracy it employs some 30 research spe- cialists, whose job is to check out facts used in preparing the society's articles and the books, | maps, atlases, other publica- tions, films, and exhibits. .. One researcher learned recent- ly, to her sorrow, that two Win- ston Churéhill legends have no basis in fact. Contrary to popu- lar belief, the late British states- man did not identify himself as a ‘‘journalist’’ throughout — the years on his passport. Nor did he belong to a“ bricklayers’ ion. CEREMONY AT Legend says Calvin Coolidge rested his hand on his mother’s Bible while taking the. Presiden- tial oath of office from his . fa- ther, a: notary public, at Ply- mouth, Vermont, after Warren G. Harding's death. The truth of the matter is that while the fa- . mily Bible lay on a table near- by, it was not officially used — this was not.the practice for oath-taking in Vermont. Coolidge explained the circumstances in his own autobiography, but the family Bible.
