But Who Pays For It Donald MacDonald the new president of the Canadian Labor Congress appears to he downloearth rson at least on some aspects of the anadlan economic scene He told convention recently that every one of the social welfare programs introduced meant that the costs had to come out of the wage earners pay cn velo Maybe he di nt say it in those wor but that was what he meant The Samia Observer believes it bl time that governments cut back on fringe benefits to all and sundry without taxing us to the limit We have sneaky suspicion that governments lc labor disputes and even strikes because in the longrun wages and salaries up and so does the government take in the way of income and other taxes single man who earned $50 week and paid $200 in income tax 20 years now gets $150 week and pays 3000 in taxes the writer recalls cannot scrape up enou deductions to merit the demand upon is tax dollar and he actually would be better off slashing some of his earnings in bank for his old age than he would be in financing government through an sion and other programs This is not to suggest that social wel fare projects are not worthy But univer sality of social programs are the means

Soviet Union Soviet intellectual is re orted to have said to visitor that Czec oslovakia has spoiled everything for us He meant that the Czech drive has brought heavy restrictions down on the heads of

leaders in the Politburo But the Czech movement has swung in favor of Soviet conservatives who while not pre pared to take the country back to the days of Stalin are afraid to take their foot off the brake They are afraid because they have no idea how far and how fast the intellec tual community wants to travel It could be much further and faster than the leaders are prepared to move Yet the

inflammable racist iituatian uranium Niciir in load avavcisiu MicMic moon was con saving for them The strength of the US presence in South Viet nam is5uch that the Americans are not likely to accept any so lution which humiliales them and the North Vietnamese have repeatedly said they do not expect to obtain settle ment that would humiliate the Americans they know AmerL can public opinion would not Ic cept such settlement5o lot lutioii is out EOMEING RESUME The Communists have been scoring sufficient military suc cesses and control enough of South Vietnam not to feel they havc no choice other than EFF ulatinn theywould rather continue fighting Despite the fact that continued fighting would almost certainly mean resumption of US bombing the North Vietnamese government will not capitulnte There are among the North Wetnnmese rulers hawks whowould take caution VIN of no no North Vietnam over should the doves support capitulatlon The hawks are the proChlnese faction and the US does not want to encourage them So solution is also out The settlement therefore must slice the cairn in half in fess this was done geographical ly Vietnam was cut in two at the seventeenth parallel all the CommunisLs withdraw north at that line all the antiCommie nlata went south similar geo graphic slicing now would mean that North Vietnam would ac quire half of South Vietnam Apart from the fact that the Viet Cong leaders who are Southerners would not accept this it is solution that has been tried before and failed Unlike South Korea South Viet nam does not seem capable of holding military line against Communist infiltration Thus the only remaining conceivable solution seems to be transfer of the fight for South Vietnam from the military to the polltilt cal ring This meansno matter which way one interprets the wordsa chance for the Viet Cong to translate their military strength into political strength end to light it out politically against other elements in the country
