TRU SDÀ*lf . fl, O PAGS a s.aM =c.wa~ Y.- EDTORIALS ItsTime to Wake. Up Ali the good thinking and wçiting lun't being done these days by pro- fessional authors, editors, educationists or even politicians. People in ordinary walks of lif e-f rom the farmer who tills the soil to the guy who fils our gas tanks - are quietly and unobstrusive- ly doing somne thinking and mullng for themselves, says The Swift Current Sun. Sometimes they corne up with a gem of thought that 18 'startling, perhaps be- cause it comes fromn such an unexpected source. The following letter t o the editor is an example of what we are try- * ing to ;Say: "Let me begin," the writer says, "by * aying that I ar n ot a chronie letter- writer. 1 amn just a work-a-day guy with three kids and a mortgage who hasn't much time for correspondence. 1 amn one of those working men and women who are flot yet subsidized or regimented by anyone. I am a white- collar 'private' in a business where I asic no union to f ight my batties for me. 1 do flot get paid for crops I do flot grow, or for work I don't do. "I belong to no price-fixing associa- tions which could uphold my fees. And if I take a pleasure trip, I pay for it and the cost is not deductible. In otiier words, I am just a poor miserable slob who pays the bis for ail this nonsense. I honestly believe that if everybody were paid a fair price for the work he does, 75 per cent of us would starve to death. ."The stupid lackadaisical attitude of this country - one of the foremost ini present-day civilization-reminds me of every other great one in history; each collapsed siniply because the people, when they got fat, got lazy. They became more interested in goof- ing off than in carrying on. They got more concerned about social security than in self -preservation. They thought more of ease and comfort than of free- dom. So they lost it. And, deservedly, they Iost their ease and comfort, too! "No wonder Khrushchev has treat- ed western diplomats like crawfish that wiIl nibble at his dangling bait uncon- oerned about the hook that holds it. He bas a right to expect we will'react stupidly, because western peoples are suckers for anything that looks like something for nothing. "And if our own politicians can druni up support at the poils with pie- in-the-sky offers thai we are going to pay for (whether we realize it or flot) then we haven't learned anything since Eve tricked Adam in the garden. "Don't you think it's about timne we woke up?" Profit is the reward the world pays t.o those who invest their Uinie, their talents and their money in producing the things that people, want. It is flot guaranteed te anyone in any way. Those who seek it do se at their own risk, and have ne ground for complaint if they lose, Imagination, forethought, mngen- uity, perseverance, patience, industry, thrift, enterprise and sound judgment are ail he1pful in winning profit but vione of them can guarantee if. If profits are sa uncertain why do people work se hard and risk se much te make them? Why do they not work for wages and be content with a steady, assured incarne? The answer is that most of us do.ý But if4 we all decided te do that, who would there be tô' employ us and where wouid we find lobs? The plain fact is that some people hiave te také the risks and the responsi- bilities of ownership and management or there will be ne jobs for anybody. Countnies whose people are net en- terprising and wiiling ta take such risks -and such responsibilities are invariably, poor countries, offering few opportuni- ties te their people te rise ahove the poverty - une. Profits honestly muade and wisely spent. are a b6ôn to any country-, and if is a grave. mistake ta- f rown on them or te dîsciminate against thern or treat them as ili-begotten gains. I When industries are nationalized in order to save, for the people, the profits the owners are making, if gen- eraliy develops that the profits dis- appear and in many cases are turned into losses. Well managed industries do flot pay ail their profits te the share- hoiders in dividends. They lay aside a substantial portion of them as reserves against future needs. How to Stay Young Youth is nef a f ime cf life, if is a state of mind. We grow oid only b-y deserting our ideais. Years wrinkle the skin but to give Up enfhusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self- distrust, fear and despair - these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back te dust. There is in the hearf s cf al of us, whether seven or scventy, the love of wonder and the love of life. We are as young as aur faith and as aid as our doubt - as young as aur self-confidence - and as old as our fear - as young as our hope and as old as aur despair. AMacDuff Ottawa Report The "Vigorous Pol*c y" OTTAWA - Thert is probably no f ield ini which the Conservative Govern- meut remains no vuinerable to attack as that of immigration. ,While it has managed te repair a number of its fences in recent months, those surrounding immigration have continued to deteriorate ever since the Government took office in Jurie of 1957. When he was charging around the. hustings during the ca.mpaign that pre- ceded the election, Prime Minister Dief- enbaker made his policy on immigation clear in eommendably forthright terms. "We believe that Canada needs increased population if her develop- ment is to keep pace with hel' vast re- sources," he declared. "To that end we will undertake a vigorous immigra- tion policy in co-operation with the Provinces to bring to Canada immi- grants with needed skill and resources." "We wilI revise the Immigration Act and Regulations. W. will overhaul its administration to ensure that humanity will be considered and put an end to the bureaucratie interpretations which keep out of Canada many potentially good citizens." The Prime Minister told the Canad- ian Ethnie Club that Canada must "1populate or perish".,Australia, he said, had concluded that it could absorb just under four per cent a year of its total population. Using that yardstick, Canada could absorb around 640,000 immigrants a year, four times more than it. had in 1956, Mr. Diefenbaker Zatablishod 1854 wi which inl iicporaed s The. owmanville Nws The. ?4wcoffleladependefll and The. Orono Nws IO6th Year of Continuous Service Io the Town of Bowmnanville and Durhaipi County declared. In 1956 there were 165,000 im.migrants who camne to Canadialu shores.! Because ef the Hunganian re- voit the total shot Up ta 282,000 in 1957. It was 124,000 in 1958 and final figures for 1959 wili probably show the total down even further, te its Iowest mark in 10 years. A far cry that f rom Mr. Diefenbaker's projecfed figure of 640,- 000. Far from encouragiîug an incerease ini immigration, the Conservative Gev- ernmenf moved swiffiy fo curb if severe1y, Only a month affer if took office, it ordered the imposition of the winter restrictions on immigration usually oniy appiied much lafer in the year. Those restrictions have neyer been lifted. The reason for the restrictions, of course, was the mounting unemploy- ment that then faced the country as if headed into a recession. But today, ac- cording te the Ministers of the Crown, Canada is enjoying unprecedented pros- perity. While unempioyment sf111 continues to persist at a relatively high level, it bas been the argument of many people - as it was the implication behind the statements by the Prime Minister - that immigration helps f0 create em- ployment rather than adding te unem- ployment. Nor has there been any step taken yet to inject a littie more humanity and little less hureaucracy into the immi- gration administration. Immigration Minister Ellen Fair- clough did make one change in the regulations last year which wouid have had'-the effeet of severely restricting the class of relatives of ianded immi- grants that could corne te this country. Faced with a sfarm of protesf, she was forced te beat a strategic ret-eaf. In Toronto, recenfiy, Mr. Justice Stewart of the Supreme Court of On- tario contended the arbitrary authority gvnto the Immigration Deparfmcnt was "pedlectly shocking and 4isgrace- fui. .. against every conceivable thing since the Magna Carta. .. " The legisiation that was int.endec to probibit ail appeals to the couri against departmantal rvlings was nei put there by the Conservatives, but b) the Liberals. When Mrs. Fairclougi was asked whether the. Governmeni intended to change it in view of Mr Justice Stewart's oeser,ýJations, thi answer-was "no. At the beginaing of the presený esion she was asked if she intendec te bring inlong promised legisiation t( overhaul the Immigration Act se round.
