5hr Iiiarrie Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Ltd 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario PAGE FOUR SATURDAY JUNE i960 commas Cheaper Canadian Cars Are Main Hope Auto Industry Driving to Toronto on Highway 400 in the early Friday evening of the first long holiday weekend of the year we found great lines of traffic northbound to the cottage areas What struck us most force fully was the fact that about every third auto was of the small West German or British make Such was not the case four or five years ago The welivbeing of the vast Canadian automobile industry has great import ance to the general wellbeing of all of this country industrially Therefore series of articles appearing in The Wind sor Star captioned Auto Industry Seeks Solution of Troubles has great inter est to all The articles seek out exactly what is wrong with the automotive in dustry and what the Canadian manufac turers and government can do toward solution Why did thriving manufacturing business fall on evil days The Windsor daily newspaper asks adding There are number of factors But the main trou ble has been the auto industry in Can ada has priced itself out of too large share of both the home and export mar kete The Star points out that the Canadian companies are in the dilemma because too many cheaper cars are being brought in from Britain and Europe These cars are bought not because people like them better than Canadian cars but because they are cheaper to buy and cheaper to operate The Star notes there was time when person could have any color in Ford as long as it was black That was when many people bought Ford every year because the price was low and they could afiford it At that time too it was point ed out there was good export trade But as costs went up competition from imported cars increased Today imports Jfrom Europele about onethird of the demand The reason The Star says is al most entirely matter of price Big three cars built in Canada sell for sub stantially more than the same cars built and sold in the Us The companies refused to foil in line with demands for cheaper trillfree Canadian car The Windsor paper sug gests that the big companies should llm it their models using greater Canadian content which would help parts makers in Canada and increase the number of Canadian jobs It is pointed out that great part of the made in Canada cars is imported in the form of parts One thing must be kept in mind The Windsor star says That is the new trend in the United States own the companies in Canada They also own auto manufact uring companies in Great Britain Eur ope Japan South America and wherever cars are made 80 the big companies get revenue from car sales in Canada whether the cars are made in Canada or elsewhere The money eventually flows to the head offices To the big companies sale is sale no matter where the car is made To the Canadian workman the important factor is sale of car made in Canada Iihe articles point out that though the export market has been lost the vastly increased home demand can compensate for this loss The automotive industry has long claimed that the elimination of the 71 per cent special excise tax which must be paid on all new cars would help to reduce prices There are strong arguments against this tax The special excise tax is luxury tafERen item that is no longer luxury the industry says It eliminat ion would help to bridge the price gap between foreign and domestic cars since the price reduction for lowercost imports would be proportionately lower To the government the special excise tax is convenient and lucrative source of income easy to collect and relatively steady The fact that reductions of the tax in the past have not always been passed on to the consumer also tends to argue against further changes But the Windsor paper maintains the great hope lies in Canadian car manufac turers turning out car which meets the popular demand for economy and avoids the quick obsolescence of present day ex tremes in models Opinions of Other Newspapers EASE 0F DEMOCRACY Massey Report The importance of volunt societies in democracy needs little emphasis in this gener ation which knows that their suppmsion is the first move of dictatorship but it is perhaps not fully realized to what extent demouacy depends on their activities GOVERNMENT OBLIGATION Ottawa Journal What are the implications of the claim heard so often these days that it isthe responsibility of the Government to find jobs for everybody In the Senate last week Senator Creiar dial almost lon survivor of authentic liberalism gave an answer starkly true This It is the responsibility of Government to find jobs to provide work at all times for the unem played If the answer is in the affirmative if we conclude that it is the responsibility of Government to see that unemployan is bau islied from the land then we must go the further step and consider how we can place our govern ing authorities in the positionwhere they can discharge that responsibility think that is fund ameniai What would that position be It would be the pcsition 35 Senator Crerar went on to make 0163 ILL iLinJandszherLtbLGovern ment is allupowerful There are jobs for everybody in Russia The reason is that in Russia the Government has power to push workers around to tell them where they must work at what jobs they must work under what conditions they must work and at what wages That is how they the Govern ment of Russia discharge their responsibility to provide jobs for everybody They possess power to do it Do Canadians want to that power If they do so be it If they dont then they have no right whamoever no right in logic nor give their Government Jimice nor common sense to keep shouting that their Government is responsible for labs for every body Under democratic system such as ours no such Government responsibility exists or can exist This does not mean that it is not the duty of democratic Government to ecure ihe max imum of employment to stimulate trade busi ness industrial development With that all agree But that is far cry from holding as too many hold without understanding that regardless of trade conditions regardless of international devel opmenu beyond our control the Government has responsibility to provide jobs for everybody to provide them without having been given power to provide them without being given power to order an individual to take the first job or any job offered him or power to compel coal miner who lost his job in Nova Sootia to pull up stakes and take work in factory in Ontario or on farm in Saskatchewan There might be some Canadian who would wel come tiisi but we doubt it Doubt that they would want the full employment conditions which always may be found

British Factbries By McINTYRE HOOD Iondon England Correspondent For The Benin Examiner LONDON Belgium ls deter mined not to let France hows it all hcr own way when it comes to offering inducement to Brit ish industries to establish plants within the six countries of the Common Market Area Interest in setting up branch factories of British companies was the key note of the Belgian reception given to trade mission which Went from the United Kingdom to look into the trade picture of the future The present picture is bound tochange conslderably when the common Market com tries constitute free trade area with common structure of ex ternal tariffs against goods from the outside world Belgian government officials gave warm welcome to the British trade mission made up of leading industrialists and fin anciers The visitors ran right into barrage of propaganda directed at inducing them to set up plants in Belgium and thus get an the right side of the new customs wall which will protect the industries of the six count nes against outside competition and at the same time guarantee them free market of 210000000 population when their overseas territories are taken into consld oration France has already been see curing branches of British in dustries by offering inducements to them to establish factorier in area of high unemployment such as the district around Calais Belgium however is offering in ducemenis which are quite as attractive as those which are offered by French Here are some of the piece of belt which have been placed before the Brit ish mission by Belgian govern ment officials Loans from the Belgian gov ernment will be provide at low rates of interest to assist in the notch lishmcnt of branch indust There will be complete tax ex emption for number of years on all profits which are ploughed back into industries and not paid out in dividend to sharehlflders In some spagsi areas govern mentbuilt factories will be made available to new industries at low rentals There will be specific guaran tees from the Belgian govern ment that repatriation of profits as well as capital will be allowed to all British industries coming into the country Belgian officials are stressing the fact that there is is plentiful supply of labor in their country and while wages rules are relat ively high so also is the product ivity of industrial workers Quite clearly the Belgian are out to outbid their friends the French and also the neighbour ing people of the Netherlands in encouraging foreign industries to invest capital in their country and provide more employment The terms are tempting and al ready one large British concern the Standard Motor Car Com isaay is said to be nibbling at the LETTERS TO EDITOR SPACE AGE RELIGION Barrie May 30 1960 Sir WhenI went to

imagine or understand and way of life commensurate with the greatness of that to which have committed myself To which would say Amen understand that Unitarian Fellowship has been recently formed in
