Diefenbaker Raps
U.S. Criticism of
Defense Policies
Ottawa - 0!PD - Prime Min
ister John Diefenbaker Thurs
day struck back at U.S. gov
ernment criticism of his de
fense policies as an "unwar
ranted intrusion in Canadian
affairs."
Diefenbaker said the State
Department statement, which
made clear the U.S. belief
that continental defense
would not be complete unless
Canada accepted nuclear war
heads for its air defense
force, was "unprecedented"
in the affairs of the two na
tions. He told the House of Com
mons that the statement was
released by the State Depart
ment to the Canadian Embas
sy in Washington and t : Ex
ternal Affairs Department in
Ottawa only a half an hour
before it was given to the
press and covered subjects
which were "surely matters
for decision by Canada."
Said Improper
An open press release of
this sort was an improper
way to "exchange views be
tween equal sovereign na
tions," Diefenbaker said. He
added that the government
"sees no need to modify the
views" expressed in his
speech on nuclear policy to
Commons last week.
Defenbaker rose to a Com
mons hushed by the tension
invoked by the U.S. move.
All the galleries were packed
with crowds standing and
overflowing in the corridors.
Social Credit leader Rob
ert N. Thompson, said the U.S.
statement on the agreement
could bring about "the fall
of the government or the
calling of an election."
Liberal Opposition leader
Lester B. Pearson and New
Democrat leader T. C. Doug
las noted the U.S. statement
differed from the prime min
ister's account of current U.S.
Canadian nuclear negoiiations
ana about Canada's future
role in the Western alliance.
Statement Denied
The U.S. State Department
release denied Dicfenbaker's
statement of last Friday that
Canada's nuclear role in
NATO had been put in doubt
by the Kennedy-Macmillan
Nassau agreement in Decem
ber to attempt to set up a
multi-lateral nuclear force in
NATO.
"The agreements made at
Nassau have been fully pub
lished," the statement said.
"They raise no question of
the appropriateness of nuclear
weapons for Canadian forces
in fulfilling their NATO or
North American Air Defense
role."
Applications Being

service examiners, Corps of
Engineers, is now accepting
applications for mess attend
ant and wiper at the Portland
office, 628 Pittock Block,

two positions are available at

Yolanda B, - I'm willing to
wait for him to decide what
he wants.
Mri. F. B. - He won't want
her, because she's throwing
herself at him.
Yolanda B. - I've been dat
ing Jerry for a year and I'm in
love with him. I'm 20 and he's
25. He says he loves me too,
but he wants to test his feel
ings by going away. He says
he's not quite ready for mar
riage and wants to fulfill his
lifetime dream of knocking
around the world on tramp
steamers for a year or two. He
and his best friend have it all
worked out to get jobs. Jerry's
an expert radio operator.
Of course I'm not wild
about - his leaving. But I'll
promise him to wait. I know
how much the trip means to
him. My mother thinks I
should just say goodbye and
go out with others when he
leaves.
Mrs. F. B.-Jcrry just hands
Yola excuses for not marrying
her and she falls for them.
The truth is he'll never marry
her. She makes things too
easy for him. Anything he
says goes with her.
For the past 10 months she
hasn't gone out with any oth
er boy, although she's had
many invitations. Now she's
ready to shut herself up for
another two years and just
wait for Jerry. She doesn't
realize that if he were really
in love with her he couldn't
bear to leave her. He's just
afraid to get married and he's
trying to wriggle away.
Marriage can wait for a man
but not for a girl. Yola should
make no promise.
The Council: A wise Amer
ican humorist, Gelett Burgess,
reminded us over a half-century
ago that it's "not the
quarry, but the chase" that
hunters enjoy the most. And
here's Yolanda taking all the
suspense, all the strain, all the
tease out of the pursuit every
suitor is entitled to.
She offers herself to Jerry
as a caught bird. Wo concur
with Mrs. B. that she, like
Jerry, should wriggle loose
from a too-risky pledge.
Yolanda is right to agree
that he pursue the adventure
his heart is set on. If he didn't
it would gnaw away inside
him the rest of his life and af
fect his feelings and dealings,
not only with his wife, but
with friends and fellow-workers.
She is right, too, to con
fess her deep love for him at
the moment. But her mother
is right in urging her not to
promise that the relationship
will "freeze" at status quo for
two years.
For certainly Jerry will go
out with others-exotic sirens,
playgirls, hospitable native
types. He seems willing to
take his chances where Yolan
da is concerned. The trip is
the dearest thing in his life
right now. If Yolanda wants
to sit by the fire and wait for
him, he'll cross that fireplace
when he comes to it. And if
he should return to find her
not waiting, he won't be ex
actly crushed, either.
The girl is only 20. The next
two years should be viewed as
a lucky break, courtesy of
Jerry. She has a chance to ma
ture, to get to know herself
and her heart better. She'd be
foolish to promise to stop the
clock awaiting the hour when
her roving Romeo gets. good
and ready to start her ticking
again.
See what happens, Yolanda.
Preference yes, promise no.
Hug your feeling about Jerry
deep inside, but recognize his
isn't as deep about you. Ac
cept dates from others. There
may really be someone else in
the cards for you, someone
you'll love even more.

ROOM RESTORED-The White House has announced open

WE CARRY OUR OWN CONTRACTS
Insurance Industry's Answer To Medicar
With over $600 billion of life insurance in force, Ameri
cans are the most life-insured people in the world.
Are we over-insured? While in terms of the premium load,
many policyholders would probably answer a resounding
"yes," life insurance in force among all U.S. families aver
ages only $10,800. A little known point is that in recent
years benefit payments to policyholders themselves (in the
form of cash redemptions, health and disability payments,
annuities, etc.), which insurance people like to call "living"
benefits, far outnumber death benefit payments. In 1961,
out of a total $8.8 billion in benefits paid to U.S. families
under various types of life insurance policies and annuities,
$5.2 billion went to policyholders themselves and only $3.6
billion to survivors.
Here, from Gilbert W. Fitzhugh, the new president of
the nation's largest insurance company, Metropolitan Life,
are other points about the insurance industry's problems and
outlook today.
Porter: What is your answer to Medicare?
Fitzhugh: Voluntary efforts must find ways to provide
needed care for the aged and actually there are many plans
in existence now. "New York B5," a cooperative effort cov
ering over-65 residents of New York state, enrolled 110,000
people in one month on an experimental basis late last year.
There are similar plans in Connecticut and Massachusetts
and others are contemplated. Also many companies have
plans of their own, both life insurance and casualty insurance
companies. The number of people over 65 with coverage is
rising rapidly.
Our longe-iange answer to medical care for the aged is
group insurance plans. Around 70 per cent of our own group
plans now offer continuing benefits after you retire. The
trouble is that people who retired 10 years ago didn't have
this kind of coverage. We feel that it doesn't make sense to
put in a huge compulsory program to meet this temporary
problem. Naturally we should do what we can to fill in the
gaps, and insurance companies are offering more compre
hensive medical plans all the time.
Porter: What is the biggest challenge lacing your industry
now?
Fitzhugh: To keep up with the tremendous change in bur
market, primarily the immense bulge which is coming in the
family formation 18-24 year age bracket. This is a prime
market for life insurance.
The population also is shifting to the suburbs and increas
ing its earnings - both of which mean ned' ambitions for
children, higher living standards and increased need for in
surance protection. Today every man knows he needs In
surance, but we have to persuade him to spend enough money
to cover his basic insurance needs
Porior: What about your competition from savings banks,
mutual funds and the slock market?
Fitzhugh: We must expect more and more competition
from nil sources, but we lioncitly feci th:t the value of guer
antecd life insurance are coming more and more tnto their
own. During me posi-war inuauunniy upsuigi-, mum
I prices were cnmmng constantly, it wai nam m, ., vmi
I people that it couldn't last, but since the market crash we
look a lot more alluring. In this way competition has helped
i us.
In cost per $1,000 of Insurance coverage, Hie insurance
u- a-... ,utnn In irU;..h vnit M mnrr for vour
money today. This is because mortality rates are down, inter
est rates we receive on our investments have been at record
highs and expenses are not up enough to over-balance gains
from these two areas. The major complaint about life in
surance benefit dollars is that they won t buy as much as
they used to, but it's not our fault that tl" dollar's buying
power Is down. The benefits are guaranteed.
Porter: What about the problem of investing your funds?
Fitzhuah The supnlics of savings have somewhat caught
up with demand and there is now more competition for in
vestments. But we are finding good investments and are
pioneering in new channels. We are increasing our percent,
age of investment In mor'.gsgr", "d these will probably com
mand a rising ehhre of our investment dollar as formations
of new families grow rapidly In the years ahead.
