Published by Canadian Newspapers me new sneer Barrie Ontario Paaz roux SATURDAY mill nrrouar informed Public Opinion Best For AntiInflation Btressing the need for individual cit tune to cultivate informed opinions on maior aspectsofpublic affairs James SDuncan Ontario Hydro Chairman singled out inflation as national prob lem which dwarfs all others in its sig niflcance Mr Duncan told the annual conven on of the Ontario Good Reads Assocl ption in Toronto this week that the problem facing Canada is not one of runaway inflation but one of gradual and progressive erosion of the purchas ing powerof our currency the most serious andrpressing threat to our econ omy is the continuance of cost infla tionwhich will result unless it is check ed in our gradually pricing ourselves out of our overseas markets Pointing out that Canadas prosperity is largely based on foreign sales of basic commodities such as newsprint iron ore copper nickel wheat and uranium Mr Duncan said that natural resources are of value as an export only if they are competitive on world markets He em phaslsed that Canada does not have monopoly on natural resources He urged members of the audience to cultivate an intelligentinterest in public affairs and to be vocal about their opin ions fIf inflation is to be halted this will in my opinion be accomplished by the weight of public opinion Human nature being what is is inflation is unlikely to be resisted by governments unless their leaders know the people as whole are determined to keep costs of production within competitive range and to main tain sound currency regardless of the sacrifices involved There is still time for us to choose between remaining competitive and able to sell our goods on the worlds markets by the application of selfdiscipline or drifting alone and finally submitting to the ruthless disciplines which have ever been improved by the free economic sys tem upon those who disregard the laws of survival he said Many Canadians take for granted the merits and blessings of the Canadian way of life and consider it as something which is static which is here with us to DISCRIMINATION BY UNIONS Windsor Star Some words change

scarves are used often with Opinions of Other Newsp stay regardless of ourattitude toward it Many of us in our complacency Mr Duncan continued do not seem to real ise that our system of government is be ing threatened today as never before threatened not only by the impact of other ideologies but by our own lethargy towards the inflationary forces which are undermining the purchasing power of our dollar and our ability to complete in the markets of the world The sucCEss and preservation of Can adas democratic system is contingent on the existence of an informed public op inion he added Let us prove to ourselves and to the rest of the world that we still know how to make democracy work that we are prepared to make the necessary eac rificee and to impose upon ourselves the necessary disciplines to safeguard the system of government and the way of life which has done so much for each one of us Turning to the subject of rising pro duction costs the Hydro Chairman said no single group can be held responsible None of us is blameless we are all standing in line asking for more more social legislation more bonuses more wages more holidays more pensions more good roads more luxurious public buildings more leisure more security It is this very asking for morewhich brings about rising costs and inflation and tends to destroy the very security which we are asking for Canadians must learn that real secur ity for the individual Mr Duncan added requires more than legislation alone He said many countries have passed admirable lawsprovlding for lifelong social security butthe crushing bur dens of high taxation necessary for their implementation have destroyedthe very security they are designed to provide Fundamentally the only security which anation can have is the security which flows from sound economy Mr Duncans pertinent serious state ments should be taken to heart by Gan adlans in all walks of life politicians labor management and just plain every day

if he succeeds the total nurn ber of the worlds Roman Cathu olics in full communion with the Vatican will reach an estimated total of 600000000 In his first utterance on being elected supreme pontiff last Oct 20 he made call to our sep arated brethren of the Eastern churches to reunite with Home Then on Jan 25 the Popcsn pounced the convocation of an ecumenical council ofthousonds of senior preletes and wise men of the church designed accord ing to an accompanying Vatican statement as an invitation to the separated communities in quest of unity causes THAN arrowsrams The Eastern communities that have broken may from Rome but preserved the apostolic suc cession are considered schis matic in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church But their orders and sacraments are recognized as valid and in certain clearly defined cases Roman Catholics mly avail themselves of them other Christian communities such as the Protestants whose orders are not considered valid are regarded as heretical Cur rent opinion in the Vatican isthat these are urilikely to be main objective of the council The main reason for the sep aration of millions of Eastern Christians was the establishment

Teaching Led Into Municipa it takes school teacher to reallylrnow person well and when one has taught school in of creat the same place for 30 years there are lot of folk in the city whom he knows well and vice versa That explains partly at least the popularity at the polls of Arthur lMorrow Harrie Al derman since 1955 and now as acting Mayor only the second official wearer of the citys new formal chain of office cubic feet which large industries would pay for Albertansiursi is supplied by TlhnlClmldl Pipe Line Thus it appears that our abun dant natural fuel can be deliv ered almost anywhere in the world at truly competitive price Some idea of what this might mean to our economy can be gleaned from the estimate um Japan whose present population is 90000000 souls might ufckly build up to consump on of 90000000000 cubic feet of gas per year That is four times Canadas current consumption it is 60 times our totalerpurts of garpiped totbe United States during 1957 That export to the us earned us paltry 32000000 Incontrast the export of gas to satisfy is pans estimated demand would yield about $450000000 to Can adas gas fields and pipelines and shippers We This American Politics Indian islands health ministef And that raises Win mason side to can plan us in from Just as the his Greek shipping interests recently led the worldsv largest oil terrier built in Japans shipyards so we would hope that whoever under took the shipment of Canadas nemrsl gas oversees would place orders for the special gas tank era in Canadian shipyards Bearing in min the likely source of much of our exportsblo Ensnamely deep inside our Am tie Circleanother exculfla plo ture Is conjured up Last summer during visitdn side our Arc circle heard our governmeu sbl ping experts talking about cfuelled ice brukers and etcmlcsubraarint tankers Such Jules Verne isn tuyfor so it seemed st the time did not make sense to my 1050 mind But now its 1959 and big international companies are rssdyvtospend millions of dollars looking for gas in our Arctic so it must make sense for them to spend millions of dollars to get it out of our Arctic too And that lesds us straight to the reality of etchile ered ebbrnsrlaes few in sir of submarine horses in the only navigable watersin our Arctic namely the waters beneath the froten surface of the Arctic Ocean where navigation is cheaper and easierthan on the surface of any icefree ocean Well that is the dream And the idea of Canadian natural gas being sold in Europe and Asia and Africato our great financial bencfikdoes not seem too cram to some of the imaginative trade and shipping officials in our gov smment Such development is no more than part of the Vision which did not seem too crazy to millions of Canadian Voters year ago CGli
