SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1964 - Mem Wider Implications ‘ In commenting on P r e m i e r Shaw’s address on Confederation problems at St. Dunstan’s University last Saturday, we expressed the hope that his words would carry their full weight of meaning across Canada. E lsewhere on this page we quote an appreciative editorial on his remarks by one of Canada’s national news- papers, the Toronto Globe and Mail. Attention is called to the em- phasis placed by our Island govern- ment leader on the intention of the Confederation Fathers that all parts of the country should share equally ill services and opportunities, and that this concept was more import- ant than even the question of lan- guage and culture. The Toronto paper rightly inter- prets the address as a criticism of ekisting trends; but we doubt whe- ther it was directed solely to the attitude of Quebec, as the editorial “i ould seem to imply. After all, Ont- ario's wealth far exceeds that of the French Canadian province; its per capita income is very much greater and there is no question as to the dominating position it is able to oc- cupy in the Confederation setup. There are times when we feel that the preoccupation of Ontario with its own interests is just as much a deterrent to the realization of Confederation objectives as any other factor in the problems the less wealthy provinces are facing today. Some time ago we were involved in an argument with our esteemed cuntemporary over the merits of the ash-called national tariff policy, and the favored position in which it plac- ed both the big central provinces. Our contemporary accused us of “flogging an old theory’ and main- tained that the basic reason for the accelerated pace at which the s e provinces were moving was “because they are heavily populated and heav- Ily industrialized—each of these fac- tors stimulating the other." What ' we had endeavored to show was that ' they got this way through a process ‘1 I If fl of tariff subsidization, at the ex- pense, largely, of our basic producers in the outlying sections. Premier Shaw studiously refrain- ed from pinpointing Island grievan- ces, or from laying the blame for the present state of affairs on any single fllctor or section of the country. Perhaps if our Toronto contempor- ary re-reads his address in the spirit iii which it was given. it will find oc- casion for moralizing on it in a broader vein than it has done. 3 He Never Misses The man who threw so many rell-polished bricks at Mr. Diefen- aker in his widely publicized book, Renegade in Power", has been at again, showing the same unerring lcility in hitting his target while mar-ting to be playing the field ith his shots. iIt was at the 33rd Couchiching onference at Geneva Park, Ont- rio, and Peter Newman was C I aiming as commentator at the ses- eion. After former Justice Minister Eavie Fulton, now leader of the Con- aorvative Party in British Columbia, bd discussed the widespread dis- :itiafaction of Canadians with the .i‘»... “I i ‘ Iglormence of Parliament, Mr. Men took over. ' mousing, he said. would improve v C'Gllndian parliamentary system self-discipline among the I' . "Unfortunately." he added, - is little hope of self-discipline Demons where the leaders of ’ loom-tor parties no longer have ' respect for each other." A Now for draw- flatbed: 1n. Pearson,“ we read, “has not been able to deal effectively with the Opposition Leader because he seems to be finding it increasingly difficult to take Mr. Diefenbaker seriously. Because he knows that John Diefenbaker has been discredit- ed by all of the national and inter- national Establishment groups which he regards as being significant, Mr. Pearson tends to dismiss Mr. Diefen- baker as an unworthy opponent. “Mr. Diefenbaker, on the other hand, gives the impression of re- garding Mr. Pearson as an impostor, a man who only pretends that he is a politician. Instead of allowing the Opposition to ply a constructive part in scrutinizing legislation, Mr. Dief- enbaker has come to View the House of Commons as an institution design- ed to serve his most cherished am- bition to expedite his return to the hustings, where he can somehow regain his metaphysical contact with the average Canadian and keep his self-imposed appointment with des- tiny to return to power." Expert marksmanship, indeed! But who, one is tempted to ask, is the “average Canadian” with whom this yearning for contact, meta- physical or otherwise, is so object- ionable as compared with being solicitous about the interests of the “Establishment groups,” national and international? Mr. Newman’s obsession with this distinction runs through all his political observations, and we find it boring at times. But perhaps that’s because we’re so awfully "average" ourselves! Turning The Tables Some fun was had in the House of Commons on Thursday when, in paying tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, it was recalled that he had been a. Liberal at one time— “like Conservative Opposition Lead- er Diefenbaker,” as Prime Minister Pearson remarked. Not to be out- done. Mr. Diefenrbaker recalled that Mr. Pearson at one time was 9. Con- servative. Sir Winston would have enjoyed this exchange of amenities, on a subject about which he had some amusing things to say himself. Ac- tually he had crossed the floor of the British Commons twice. When challenged about having switched from the Conservative to the Liberal and then back to the Conservative side he replied blandly: “Well. it is not uncommon to half, but you must admit that to re-rat requires some ingenuity.” It was because he could speak with wit as well as profundity that he scored so many successes in his par- liamentary career. And he didn’t hesitate to turn his wit against him- self. On another occasion. when scored by an opponent for having "made a. mistake” in policy, Chur- chill—he was Prime Minister then —beamed on him and on the whole House and said: “Yes, and there may be more and greater ones of which the Honorable Member does not know.” Perhaps if Canadian politicians would be as frank in acknowledging their shortcomings, they would find a more receptive audience for their speeches. Lunar Close-Ups Studies of the moon by radar have shown a surface that is gently undulating on the large scale. It ap- pears to be fairly smooth. But if one studies the way the moon scatters light from the sun, one concludes the surface to be extremey rough. Scientists concede that no one really knows what it is like. One of the most hotly debated “".ions is whether the moon’s face has been sculptured by meteor im- pacts or by volcanism. Another is the question of water. The stereo- typed picture is of a moon utterly desiccated. Now it is thought the moon may contain vast amounts of water. But nobody really knows. These are some of the tantalizing questions whose answer depends on observing the moon at first hand. It is expected that the pictures taken by Ranger 7 will prove to be fine enough, in resolution, to distinguish objects the size of an automobile. This is what the cheering is all about at Pasadena, where the space scientists are congregated. They will have a field day examining the pic- tures. the first close-ups of unknown terrain where astronauts will some day tread. We shall not be there; but—who knows l—there may be moon pioneers among our grand- children. w. .,-qu.iabss..ir.» i._-w».- u ARCHBISHOP MARTINARIOS BRITISH COMMENTARY Malta Now Set For Independence At long last Malta is set for independence, and a p em which at times has seemed ut- terly intractable has been solv- ed. is a strange coincidence that this should come about right on the heels of the Com- monwealth Prime Minister's" Meetings, for the statement is- sued at the end of that confer ence contained a section from Britain — welcomed by the Prime Ministers— detailing the progress of British dependent. territories towards independ- ence. It is worth remembering that. this operation has been pro— ceeding steadily since the end of the war (and for a long time before, if one recalls Canada, Australia and New Zealand). As the alter- conference statement pointed out, more than twenty countries, with a population of some seven - hundred mil 1 ion have “achieved sovereign inde- pendence under. British guid- ance" The progress is constant. Ny- asaland became independent just in time for her Prime Min- ister, Dr. KK. Bands, to attend the London conference. In 0c- iober, Northern Rhodesia be- es independent. This very week the final talks will be held in.London to give the Gambia independence. All the time the remaining dependencies' consti- tutions are being advanced. stage by stage, to the point at which their leaders are ready to take over final control. “HARD CORE” LEFT Britain is now just about down to the “hard core" — in other words, to those territories which for various reasons present spe- Brltlsh Information Service clal difficulties. Among such territories are Southern Rhodes- ia ane British Guiana. The for- mer is halmstrung by problems of race, with a predominantly European government. To be fair, uhe Europeans have played a great part in making Southern Rhodesia a' prosperious and ef- ficient country. But it is time to look to the future, and to Lhe political rights of the African majority people. Southern Rhodesia —and tilts came out clearly at the Prime Ministers' Conference—is not an outright dependency of Bri- tain. She has a very considerab- le degree of self- government, Nevertheless, Britain, in her statement, made it clear that she would attain full sovereign- ty only when her governmental institutions were sufficiently representative. In British Guiana the problem —-and it is a tragic one—is that of politics based on race. This country will become lndependé ent as soon as “she is able to assure internal peace". After the Malta solution one can feel that no problem is com- pletely baffling. There we a much talk some while ago of the awkward situation of the so called High Commission Terri- ories -- Basutoland, Bechuana- land and Swaziland, in the heart of Southern Africa. a- Boxcors On Tires Orlllle Rocket: And Times There is a growing tide of complaint evident throughout the province over the increas- ing numbers of rubber-tired box- cars on the highways. and even PUBLIC FORUM N0 HARRIS PAINTINGS? Sin—I hope some one will be kind enough to explain the ab- sence of Robert Harris' paint- ings in the gallery of our new cultural centre. It was very disappointing to reach the upper «gallery without seeing one "Harris". and to find a long thin row of small pic- tures taking up the entire length of the walls. Certainly lack of space is not the reason. But whatever holding up the display of our own painter's masterpieces should be overcome. July is over. and it as a large number of Centennial visitors are going to leave this province, not even knowing about Harris, let alone seeing his 'ntings. I am Sir. etc, II.

But Basutoland has now been promised independence in about eighteen months time; chuan- aland is free to follow when she wishes, and Swaziland's new constitution has set her firmly on the independence road. The Federation of Southern Arabia is yet another example— 3 he should become independent, on present plans. within the n e xt three and half years.

These monst- rous great transport trailers—— some uh are a long, exclusive of the huge trac- tor unit which tows them— are now becoming so numerous that they constitute the single great- est nuisance which the roads have produced to beset the resi- dents of cities and towns, as well as the private motorist. Yet whatever the case may against allowing trailers of any will. and in any camber, on the highway, it is as nothing compared to the objections to them using the streets of a city or town. however skilful their drivers— and surely bet- for drivers do not exist any: where than today's transport jockeys -- the big transports are simply not designed for traffic-laden streets. e turning circles required, the problems of clearing low tree branches and wires, the endless traffic fie-ups entailed by the backing and filling re- quired to get some mammoth backed up to I back-lane load- ing platform, make these ever- blggar transports a positive me- nace to urban traffic. Added to this, the roaring diesels and their belching fumes are a nightmare to people living on restdeutid streets. Hair Distibution And Evolution ing an upright posture and other onary . learned how to keep warm will:- out it. But so . called baffles with areas are covered an in- conspicuous fuzz, except for the palms and soles. Body hair is a hangover from the days of the caveman. Dr. sth . N.J.. believes it served as a sensory device, warning the in- dividual of (the arrival of insects or other m. . lug device should be valuable to modern nudists. Dr. Montagu believes baldlea miss their topnotch for other than cosmetic reasons. It shad- es the scalp against the sun and protects it from cold. thus pre- venting bumlng and freezing. In addition, a thick mop acts as a cushion against blows to the skull. Eyebrows offer the same «tuition-lug material for the dell- cate area over the frontal sinus- es; they also keep sweat from dripping into the eyes. B 1rd those who make - and sell shaving equipment may consider beards useless decora- tions. Nature may feel the same may. because she allowed the faces of men of some races to remain hairless. The American Indian and the Bushmen are examples, This growth offers some protection for the front of the neck in cold climates and permits beatniks to walk about ; without a tie. Style is a factor in hirsute fashions. We h had burnsides, Vandykes. mut- ton chops, and handlebars. Now we are in the shaggy man era. Pubic hair protects the skin from chafing and has certain sexual attractions. Hair in the axilla also acts as a buffer against chafing, especially when he arms are used extensively. This is not appreciated unless it lnrllvi ’ till this re gion; it becomes etioliiy instead of - atttter working hard oily . Regardless of purpose, hair distribution is governed by the waxing and waning of the sex hormones. Facial hair. for ex- ample, often becomes promi- nent in women after the mono. pause. Eunuchs seldom become bald but in those with a family history pattern of male bald- ness. the hair tends to shed, when given testosterone. THE STEROID STORY A.

This might be caused by inflam- mation (bronchitis), tumor. con- gestion, thick mucus, or a for- eign body such as a peanut. PALPITATION AFTER COUGHING T.

It is true that finances—cold cal! to keep the UN operatan —is one part of the problem the Thant to Parts and Moscow. But the real issue is complicated and much more Important.

Alongside this issue is the con- tention of the French and Bus- ave ‘ stans that the UN should not in- volve itself in messy domestic feuds, as in The Congo, but should confine itself to keeping the peace between countries. The aim of Thant’s trip, and of the series of meetings among various countries during the summer, is to find a way to avoid a damaging col- llslon on these issues when the general assembly meets on Nov. 10.

They regarded as more im- portant—at but as a sign of Moscow's readiness to negotiate —the Soviet proposal of three weeks ago for establishment of a permanent peace force under the sole control of the security council. However one Western source, closely in touch with the sum. mer'a negotiations, said any compromise that emerges will not involve the assembly gjv. ing up its peace-keeping pow. ers. He said that with the excep- tion of the Soviet bloc and France. UN members had reached “pretty complete unan- imity" on retaining the right of the assembly to set a lice force and levy assessments for it when the security council is unable to act. Premier Shaw’s Address Gblse and Mill, Toronto Quebec is fond of arguing that the spirit of Confederation has been betrayed by the concen- tration of too much power in federal hands. She demands a much greater degree of provin- cial autonomy not only to pre- serve her language and on re, but also for the control of the funds she needs to develop her economy. Premier Walter Shaw of Prince Edward Island takes a different view of past hint or y and present needs. In a thoughtful speech at Charlotte- town this week. when six pr 0- vincial premiers received hon- orary degrees. he suggested that there has been too much provincial selfishness and not e notional aplrl-t. The in- tent-ion of the Fathers of Con- federation that all parts of the country should share equally in services and opportunity, he said, had not been honored. Putting this right struck him as more important than the quest- ion of language and culture. Professor Eugene F o r s e y rein the point in a letter to this newspaper recently. He cited statistics to show that Quebec's per capita income in 1962 (the last year recorded) was $1,417, while the compara- ble h Edvard 15 land was $1,009, and in New- EXPOETS HIT RECORD OTTAWA (CPl—The value of Canada's commodity e an all-time high in June, The Dominion Bureau of Sta stica re per cent over the year-earlier value.

There are, of course, even greater d15- parities between incomes in Ontario and the other provinces. a moral, which might be studied with profit in Quebec, when no said: “If the spirit and strength an urpo s e s of (Confedera- tion's) founders are to live and remain vib r a n t and strong. then there will be no place In our national life for a complet- ely selfish interest confined within provincial and national boundaries to the exclusion of a recognition of the needs and opportunities of fellow Canad- Ians elsewhere."
