PAGE 4 Meeting In Cairo Leaders of the 34 states belong- ing to the Organization of African Unity are opening an important con- ference today in Cairo. It is their second crucial meeting, the first having been held 14 months ago in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Problems of effective coooperation in develop- ing their backward but now inde- pendent lands remain to be solved. and they are getting impatient. The organization needs a permanent home. It must have a permanent secretary general. Above all, it must acquire a treasury and a budget. In May, 1963, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia footed all th 9 hotel and food bills for his guests at Addis Ababa. They numbered about 1,000, counting the chiefs of state and their numerous aides. This year. President Nasser of the Unit- ed Arah Republic will he host. to the assembly to which two more states --Kenya and Malawi. formerly Nyasaland—have been added. President Nkrumah of Ghana is bringing a six-member delegation to renew his drive for a United States of Africa. President Ben Bella of Algeria may again call on Africans, as he did a year ago, to “die a little, if necessary," to free their peoples still under colonial rule, and call for help in building an All-African Lib- eration Army. U Thant, Secretary General of the United Nations, plans to be there for some of the sessions, and will address one of them. It would be well for Western world leaders to pay attention to What transpires in Cairo this week- end. There will be is lot of ceremon- ial pomp and that kind of thing, but the persistent drive for African unity is something else again. It could have very far-reaching re- sults, and very serious ones. if it got headed in the wrong direction. “Among The Pallbearers" “If, as seems foredoomed, the Republican party in l964 goes down to suicide with Goldwater, promin- ent among the pallbearers will be former President Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon.” Thus comments the New York Times on the results of Wednes- day’s balloting for presidential can- didate at the Republican national convention in San Francisco. The Arizona senator won hands down, as anticipated; a n d an important factor in the success of his campaign for nomination, in The. Times' opin- ion, was the attitude of the “vested Republican leaders who should have cared most whither the party was drifting and said no word of warn- ing that could be heard or at least i comprehended." I It is doubtful if the Republicans would have much chance of winning the November election against President Johnson in any case. But. i as The Times says, “why throw it; away by nominating a man who vot- ed against the civil rights bill, who 5 given to dangerously impulsive first-thoughts on world affairs, who .‘ against foreign economic aid, who goes against his party on farm pol- icy, who opposes federal aid to education with minimal exceptions, who votes against the anti-poverty program, who distmsts the United Nations-who makes reckless state- mm on Cuba, Vietnam, use of nu- clear weapon, and relations with ' who fundamentally ent long before the convention that the Scranton effort to block the Goldwater drive came much too late. The drive had been in the making for years. It; began immediately af- ter the defeat of Nixon in the 1960 election when the Republican Old Guard, bitterly determined to ac- cept no more “moderates”, settled on Senator Goldwater as their cham- pion. In the years after 1960 he cultivated organization Republicans by criss-orossing the country on fund-raising tours. The conser- vatives consolidated control over many of the local and state organiz- ations that choose convention dele- gates. The moderates, on the other hand, seemed to flounder in irreso— lution and reluctance to take on the burdens of a challenge to the Demo- crats. Only Governor Rockefeller was at all eager and he was dis- qualified by his divorce and remar- riage. The Scranton challenge, which came after the moderates realized that Goldwater had prac- tically won the primaries by default, never really got off the ground. What is of concern to the outside. world is, of course, the showdown at the polls in November. There is widespread hope that it will prove, as The Times predicts, to be a Re- publican throwaway. Drastic Recommendations A farm survey commission report released from Ottawa suggests that half the farmers in depressed rural areas should be lifted from their poor farms and retained for urban life, thus eliminating them as a drag on Canada's agricultural commun- ity. The report, prepared by two Winnipeg economists named by the Diefenbaker Government in 1962, says that the poor farms of today become the slum farms of tomor- row; that the influx of ill-tutored youths from the rural areas into the industrial complex of the cities starts an urban slum. The report charges that Quebec, the Maritimes and Ontario have fail— ed to train young farm people to fit them for the rapidly changing economic development of today. Marginal farm use of woodlots or for tourism, it warns, is not the an- swer. - Agricultural Minister Hays, in releasing the report, says it does not necessarily represent govern- ment views. No wonder he's cau- tious on this score, for it is likely to create a. storm of criticism; not so much on economic grounds as be- cause it. completely ignores the hu- man factors in the problem. The Ottawa Journal asks pointed- ly in this connection: How does the government in a democracy say who shall farm and who shall not farm? How does it take a farmer out of the country and place him in the city? It can’t compel a man whose father and grandfather toil- ed the land to work for someone else. The report sets out a new role for the Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Act in its oper— ations, but it doesn’t really say how farmers who do not want to move can be uprooted. There is no blue- print for the migration of farm people. ARDA was intended, as we understand it, to prevent the neces- sity of making such revolutionary changes as a migration of this very kind would involve. EDITORIAL NOTES If there is anything that Senator Goldwater has been consistent about over the years. says a writer in the New Yorker, it is his opposition to platforms. He is not just against liberal platforms—he is against all platforms. "At their best," he once said, "political platforms are packets of lies.” were at their worst. I t O The late Mr. Russel C. Clark was for many years one of the leading merchants in his community and one of the stalwarts of the Legislative Assembly. His success, both in business and in politics, could be summed up in one word: dependabil- ity. People come to ‘depend upon him for this, that and the other thing, because they found he was the kind of man in whom full con- fidence could be placed. Quiet and unassuming, he shunned the lime- light; but this did not lessen in any way the high regard in which he was held by members on both sides of the House. He did not say what they ' OTTAWA REPORT Reviews New Conociion Stomp Issues ' (Patrick Nicholson's guest columnist today Is Hon. John R. Nicholson. Postmas- ter General of Canada and Liberal MP. for Vancouver Centre) The business of being a col- umnist is rooted in the com. municaiion of ideas. More and more, Canadian postage stamps are serving this same function and I found this thought very reassuring when my friend. Patrick Nicholson, did me the honour of asking me to contri- bute to his column. Two of Canada‘s most recent stamps. and others slated for release in the near future. have been designed primarily to honour abstract and important concepts. The ivssuiamce of these stamps represents a departure from previous practice in Can- ada when special issues u sually recalled a particular person or ace Stamp, which went on sale April 8th, was the first of these stamps. e stamp was originally conceiv- ed to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on Christ- mas Evc. 1814. and (the result- ing century and a half of peace between Canada and the Unit- ed States. After a greal deal of ihouflht. it was decided to ex- pand the theme to “Peace on Earth". to include all men and all nations. To underscore the universaliiv and timeless ap- peal of this idea, the Latin in- scription “Paccm m terris" was chosen as the focus of the design MOST POPULAR This stamn has proven to be the most popular issued by Canada in many years, I have received letters from scores of people to convev their auuroval of this issue. These letters are still coming 'nd them very heartwarming. Similarly. it was an abstract idea which evoked plans for the Unity stamp of May 14ih. As is inevitable with any in- tangible, the problem of choos- ing a concrete. graphic design to convey the idea of national unity was a difficult one. The Post Office received dozens of succesied designs. which were all carefullv considered. Most of them erred to the British- French tradition. Lions. uni- corns and lilies in all manner of combinations were present- ed to us. Many of these sketch- es w~~e goo go , Yet we hesitated. because we could not rid ourselves of the i feeling that such symbols ex- pressed the differences and di- vergent-y inheren 'n a nat‘on as large and as ymmig as Can- ads, Our Miran-rise. as emolicitly stated in the name of the stamp. was to draw attention to our Unity, to the things which we hold in common. This "we" did not mean only the two founding nationalities. but all those who have contributed to our country's development and character. I felt that the three maple leaf motif was the most suitable and so decided on it. CHRISTMAS STAMPS For the first time in our his- tory. Canada will have truly Christmas stem us in These stamps, of the three and five cent denomination. will be released on October 14th. Here again, the Post Office is basing stamps on ideas rather than on people or events. The theme is definitely a Yuletide one, and the opportunity is being taken to honour the traditional fem- tly and religious character of the Canadian Christmas. ’5 basin 3 due is no small measure to the influence exerted on contemporary thought by the Canadian Con- ference on the Family. sponsor- ed by Governor General and Madam Vanier. tad a pro- .

The design selected puts the accent on the family joined to- gether by the spirit of Christ- mas. something cherished by all Canadians, regardless of racial origin or religion. mmunicating d through the medium of the pos— tage stamp is not as easy. or as routine, as commemorating an occasion or morning a per- son. However. it is more re- warding. and it seems to me to be one more means whereby the Post Office Department can make a contribution to society. Not In Income Taxes Montreal Governments. pressed by ris- ing expenditures. are looking for new sources of taxation. But one source that does not appear to offer much scope for higher taxes is personal income. This fact is demonstrated impressiv- ely in what is called “the Green Book" — the green - covered book issued by the Department of National Revenue in Ottawa. Here are presented the figur- es for the last year to be analy- zed lby lithe deip fitment - the year 1962. And the figures show that the hope of getting any de- cisively important sum of man- ey by the pi‘inctpde of progress- ive taxaifion—apumiing a heavier burden on the top brackets— is not substantiated by fact. The figures show, first of all, that the number of Canadians who have $15900 a year and more is only 68,043. out of a tot- al number of income taxpayers of 4.681.227. It might be thought, however, that though those in these 0 brackets might be few. the total of their income would loom very large in relation to the income of all taxpayers. But the figures in the Green Book show that the total income of those with $15,- Gazette 000 a year and more is only $1.- 723.3 million, (iii a Mal in- come of all income taxpayers of $20.764.2 million. Looked at in percentages, the income of those over $15, year amounts to 8.30 of the total of all income. Here is no promising harvest for the tax collector. Supposing tax yield on all incomes over $15,000 were increased 50 cent — a drastic and unimagin- able measure. Thla would yield the federal Government an addi- tional revenue of about $215 mil- lion. This may seem a sizeeble sum in itself. but it would offer no decisive solution nor Govern- ment spending. Applied to the Government's expenditures for the same taxa- tion veal-1962, the yield from this 50 per cent increase in tax yield in the too brackets would only have paid for about half the expenditures of the Depart- ment of Transport, or about two-thirds titscee of the Depart- ment of Veterans Affairs. To put it another way. it wou have added about $215 million towards meeting federal exoeu- djtures that amounted in th at year to $6,520 million. .. n. Pooh Bah Role In Congo London Free Pleas Consistency is not a notable characteristic of politicians any- where, But in The Congo it sim- ply doesn‘t exist. That is why President Kasavubu is able to accept and support as premier Moise Tshombe, with whom he waged a lengthy struggle. Mr. Kasavubu persuaded the United Nations representatives in The Congo thar Tshombe was the chief obstacle to establishment of a united nation. Now it appears that he is the last hope of doing so. He has assembled a cabinet which the president has‘ accepted. Mr. Tshombe is keeping for himself the posts of premier minister of foreign affairs. minister of in- formation and minister of econ- omic coordination. He is calling in technicians to run the finan- ce. education and justice minis- tries. This leaivea scant picking for the assemblage of squabbl- ing political leaders he is try- lug to assemble. However, he did manage to find room for some of the other tribal chiefs, such as Albert Ka- lonji, former God. emperor of South Kasai, and for some of the followers of the late Patrice Lumumba. In his Pooh Bah role, Tshom- be looks like a potential dictat- or, and his past record makes this all the more likely, Assur- ance that he would only govern for a period of a few months while new national elections are being held see a flasher hollow. If he can put the country to- gether and handle the numerous disruptive forces the is not likely 3) be bothered much about elec- one. Rottling Lite Algm Bomb The most widely quoted part of Senator Goldwater's June so . interview Spiegel. est German news magazine, is his statement that no Republi- can could defeat President John- son aa of this moment. This has brought charges from G ov. Scranton that Goldwater h as thus forfeited his right to the nomination because be is a de- featlst. which, of cwrse, Gold- water denies. What should bother the aver- age American about the Spies- el interview is that once again Goldgvater rattled the atomic m . . He told Der Bplegel that he would be in favor of using small or limited nuclear weapons "if necessary" to support any auti- Sovtet uprisings in eastern Ens- ope. What is a limited nuclear weapon? Once in a small area it in effect drops everywhere. No nation armed with nusleer venous could tel touaethemllit were hit with unclear weapons. threat of nuclear retaliation is the only means clematis; useless- at- teck. That is very today's .

Vel Della Are isometric ‘or isotonic ex- ercises better for middle-a: individuals than awi as, walking, or calls- thenica? This question comes up repeatedly. now that physi- cal fitness has become so pop- ular. The answer is no, but they are good supplements. c ex are heir ful for young and old. 'niey are done by contracting one much a alnst an op u; immov- able object. Stand in a door» way, raise the arms, and press ads as hard as possible against the sides of the tram Another maneuver is to put the fist of the right hand in the palm of the left and’ push the two tog-ether for at least six se- conds. This type of exercise is con- venient, requires no special equipment, and sweating is not excessive. There is a limit to the amount of strength that can be achieved. Muscles enlarge. and the abdomen grow; small- er. The body and joints do not move. ' - The purpose of isotonic exer- cises is to develop strength. They involve'movement in con- trast to isometric exercises, and are done by contracting the muscles against increasing re- sistance. Usually a gadget, such as bar bells or dumbbells, is used. To gain strength, the resistance must be increased; otherwise it remains station- ary. Muscle mass increases, ex- plaining why those 0 follow this program faithfully may become an Atlas, provided all the muscles are exercised in like fashion. Moving the joints makes them more pliable. Iso- tonic exercises require great effort for a short period but the rewards include greater endur- ance, less fatigue, and a feeling of well-being. Walking. swimming, and cal- lsthenics do not enlarge the muscles or increase strength above normal.They are enjoy- able. preserve suppieness. and improve the circulation. In my opinion. the middle-aged office worker can take his pick be- cause no exercise sysrem is su- perior to all others. A combina- tion is ideal, particularly for strengthening selected groups of muscles and improving phy- sical fitness.

Senator Barry Goldwater's advance to the Republch throne room in the United States has a faraway audience from in something akin to horror:- Bemuaed Britain watches the drama being played out in Francisco with the impotent feelings of a remote spectator who sees a runaway vehicle an can’t do anything to stop it.
