(CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, August 18, 1960 “VICTORIA:REPORT Divided Opposition By. JAMES K, NESBITT ‘What's the main issue in this election campaign? ‘There doesn’t-seem to be one, except this: the Social Credit government ja convinced it should be kept:in office; the oppositicn parties are convinced It shouldn't, ‘That would be:simple enough to sort out, and the voters could quite easily make up their minds, except for this: each of the three opposition parties wants to’ be the government, That's where the confusion comes in. It'a because of this confusion - that the Social Credit government is almost certain to be returned, what with the opposition parties fighting each other, -and amang themselves, instead of gangirg up to defeat the government. ‘There’s an old adage as use- ful ih; politics as in war: “Divide your enemies.” Premier ‘Bennett dofsn't :haye to do this,-because his enemies divide themselves, 50 thirsty is each for the spoils of Office, No wonder. political joy wells up in the Premier's breast ‘as he .seea “his enemies Ughting among themselves, their only point of agreement being that the So- ela] Credit government should be thrown out. +. If’ these three opposition par- tlea had been smart — and per- haps, you might say, sincere, they'd have divided the province —. a Liberal in this. riding, a Conservative in that, a CCF’er in nhother — ONE only, not all three, as now. That way Social Credit might go under, und the three victors'could then sert out the mess as best they might. In any event, Social Credit would oe gone, Until the three opposition par. ties do this — yes, !t would be political expediency — B.C, will have a Social Crodit government, until, one day, sure ag sure, the COF is elected the government, ‘This will, eventually heppen, es Jong as the COF remains Her Ma- jesty's Loyal Opposition, If Lib- erals,- or Conservatives, could be elected the official opposition, they, in due course, would have o good chance of ending the So- celal Credit rule. But, until one ur the other is the official oppositjon, both these parties will have but nuisance value. Big argument of the election campaign is public versug private enterprise, In this, the CCF alon2 stands 100 per cent for public en- Assures Socred Win terprise, with §.CJcra, Liberals and Conservatives, though they :politically hate each other,-solidly standing together for free. enter- prise. The 8.0. government, how- ever, in this..regard, plays both ends against the. middle. It talks about’ being the great, all-out sup- porter of free‘ enterprise, yet 15 into public enterprise up to its neck — os witness the new fer- ies, the B,C, hydro, liquor, etc. Those who belleve in public enterprise have !t easy enough — they just’ vote COF and thet’s all there {is to it, Free enterprisers are torn between Social Credit, Liberals and Conservatives, Well — these are a few of the problems and confusions — now you, the people, listen to the po- Uticians and try and make up your own minds, ‘DIEFENBAKER GAUTIOUS Canada Takes Time on Congo Commitment By LEWIS MILLIGAN In a recent editorial, The Globe and Mail of Toronto scold- ed Prime Minister Diefenbaker for delay in responding to the request of Secretary-General Dag Ham- marskjold for a United Nations Emergency Force in the Congo. ‘The editorial complained that Mr. Diefenbaker took two weeks to de- cide to send “up to 500" signallers and supply personnel to the Af- rican Even.this only came after the two-day visit to Canada of the Congolese Prime Minister, Mr. Patrice Lumumba, whose purpose was to obtain beng and pro- ther be commended than scolded fox-taking time to think over the , Situation, He {s not a dictator, nor Js he, like President Eisen- hower, the supreme head of the military forces, For that matter, Eisenhower himself refused to send troops to the Congo.

As a middle power which has never held any colonies, which itself has made the transition from colony to nation, Canada has an impor- tant role'to play in relation to new nations that are rapidly being formed out of one-time colonies.” But Canada was not. rapidly already has 650 men on ‘the spot. We can and should do better with ‘“elvillan-aid for the Congo, and for other countries which approach |; us, directly or through the: United Nations.” Prime Minister Diefenbaker displayed true statesmanship and a complete grasp of the situation in the Congo and the ex-colonial eon of Africa as a whole, when the ser- formed out of her th col onfal status.

In the Kootenays the av- erage child has five permanent teeth diseased. 2 “Using current fee schedules, the average cost of dental restora- tion of these Nakusp children would be about $9, whereas in non-fluor~ ide areas, the cost. would run as high as $30 or $40,” sald Dr. Bullen.

Mr. Wood ‘has’ been interviewed on CJAT’s “The Volce of Castlegar” every. week for the last month. “They usually phone about a quarter to five Monday’ afternoon,”| . said the ranger. “I just ad lib, They ask about the fire situation and everything that’s going on ° — TI just answer questions.” He praised the Trail radio sta- tion’s ‘coverage but was glad the ranger station has not been a ma- a news source this season. “We've help, yers, teachers and scientists that ‘Mr, Lumumba is said to be seek- ing, the country would revert to - colonial status, Is the Globe and Mal} suggesting that Canada take over a part ownership of the Congo’ when. it -says: “Canada should have been the first coun- try to offer troops for the Afri- _ ean'UNEF; instead, Canada lags behind: little Ireland — which rather than tled to any great, power bloc, or withdrawing its interest into a narrow national grouping of Afri- can nations.” That {s wise counsel from a tesponsible prime minister to = one.
