about outcome of issue By STEWART MacLEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Politics aside have great deal of respect for Max Salts man the New Democratic MP from WaterlooCambridge who has that rare ability to steplout of heated debate detach im self mentally from rty viewpoint and immediat ybe come an im rtial observer of his own partisanship All parties have individuals like this Crawford Douglas the Liberal member from Bruce tends to keep fairly im rtial eye on events and flea Mac arrie the Conservative MP rom Hillsborougb is seldom swayed by his own viewpoints when discussing issues pri vately And there are othersall god people to know when you ve trouble putting things in perspective Anyway knowing Mr Salts mans relatively reasonable ap proach to issues was sur prised to pick up newspaper and see that he was quoted as saying got the feeling people arent going to wait for Quebec to separate theyll kick them out now This was in the wake of the air strike When sought out further ex planations fro the 55yearold er airman found some what sad MP Its shame if are losing patience he aa butthereseemstobea fairly violent reaction building Pi OPTINGOlT MOOD There is general alien

issue The public is tired of hassles and man EnglishCanadians feel they ave reached the end of the rope in making accom modations gree with this We provided dont havent done that much and think we have been very suc cessful in relation to ex eriences in other two anguage countries It really is shame that people seem to be losing patience at this time If Mr Saltsman is feeling sad about this he is downright angry about the way the strik ing pilots and controllers be haved during the walkout And he is even more outra ed that the government knu led un der to their demands particu larly in agreeing to free liamentary vote on the marge port by an inquiring commis sron he said with unchar acteristic annoyance is an ab solute disgrace Who is running this country the government or pressure

only the know what its all about an pilots tell us to keep the hell out of the air And they gave us all those scare stories about near misses It was like Medicare in Saskatchewan The doctors were telling us how we would be dying in the streets if the gover nment brought in the plan But they are the rofessionals and the ppblicl up to them Some of the statements made by the pilots and con trollers during the strike were gross and most misleading Those near misses they talked about often had nothing to do with bilingualism am not sure they realized what they were doin Mr Saltsman sai he was on the governments side through out the dispute because it is far too important for partisan litics and at this moment in tory it is terribly important for people to have confidence in their government agree with the prime min ister that the strike created crisis but am not sure he or perhaps any of us fully under stand it But do understand the im portance of the government ac cepting its

Service At mid1976 this is shaping up as year of weak recovery Its weak because the unem ployment rate remains stalled in the neighborhood of seven cent of the labor force and ause business spending on new plant and equipment which could create new jobsis hardly growing at all Yet its recovery because industrial production has been on the increase since the fourth quarter of last year and will probably soon reach record rate So far complete returns are in only for irstquarter 1976 In JanuaryMarch our Gross Na tional Product iGNPthe value of all goods and services produced in the country showed an annualized growth rate of 27 per cent after the ef fects of seasonal factors and in flation had been taken into ac count Forecasts of professional economists more or less agree that GNP for fullyear 1W6 will exceed last years by five per cent in real terms as Finance Minister Donald Macdonald THEKPICK OF PU Closer to earth the highfly ing MP5 and cabinet ministers this week were debating the governments bill to adopt maritime code for Canada predicted in his May 25 budget speech That would mean that our in dustrial output would be rising at rate considerably in excess of five per cent by yearend PRIME PROBLEM Inflation which was threat ening an economic breakdowu at mid1975 remains Canadas most troublesome economic problem midway through 1976 Des ite the AntiInflation Boar pointingwithpride and organized Iabors crybaby complaints the restraints are exceedingly mildand therefore all far short of restoring anything like stability of prices Even the federal govern ments hopes as expressed lay Finance Minister Macdonal are merely to bring the in flation rate down to eight or nine per cent by the end of this year Modest as that goal may be its attainment over the next few months is doubtful Wage restraints vir tually guarantee that labor in comes will rise by at least two totour percentage points more than the inflation rate and by much more in exceptional CH rmi

business operations are likely to go up over their current nearrecord levels STICKING WITH IT The federal finance minister served notice in his budget speech that the govemmeni would continue its antiinflation policy such as it is until some more tangible results are achieved He went to considerable lengths to asure Canadians that the government wouldnt capriciously chan its course intheforeseeable uture riding in the public sector is ing trimmed here and there and ceilin on in creases One of iggest of such chan is an extention of the eligibi ity period for unem ploymentinsurance benefits counterbalanced by an increase in employmentcreating pro grams At the same time the govem ment imposed new limits on corporate profit margins Ef fective this month they must be at least is per cent less than they were in the base period To soften these new reint tions the government made slight cmcession on corporate taxes payable by small busi nesses Largely because of the con fused profit outlook says sen ior economist Baguley of the Royal fBank of anada ts or an upsurge In $33 capital spending in 1977a key prereqursite for productivity gainsare not very bright Many business people arent confident as to what the precise rules of the game are going to be lNEVEN JUSTICE The TrudeauPepin antiin flation approach is an inter esting experiment in preferen tial treatment While putting squeeze on corporate profit margins thereby taking big gamble on higher unemploymentthe government generously allows wage and salary earners to keep well ahead of inflation As result labor incomes in Canada continue to show sub stantial increases piled on top of the substantial increases of the last two years In manufacturing for ex ample latest figures show average hourly earnings in Canada running i28 per cent higher than year earlier vs 76 per cent yeartoyear in crease in the United States where the government brought in antiinflation measures years before Ottawa did PARITY SIRPASSED This will be the first year says the Royal Banks Dr Baguley when labor costs per unit of output will be higher in Canada than in the US Antimflation restraints have been in effect for nearly nine months now They have had some slight effect on inflation but not muchand so they will remain in force for many more months to come Despite the prime ministers repeated expressions of distaste for controls he and his government show little in clination to get in touch with the pioinflation forces to trim the fat from public spendin and to stimulate business industry to be more

July 31754 While George Washington was leading military force from Virginia to attack Canadians building Fort Duquesne Pittsburgh he was intercepted and defeated at Fort Necessity He was allowed to return to Virginia after leaving Captain Robert Stobo as hostage Stobo was held in Duquesne but made secret map of the fortifications and got friendly Indian to take it to Virginia The British then mounted an other attack on Duquesne led by Gen Braddock with Wash ington secondincommand It was also defeated and Brad dock was killed Stobos map was found among his papers Now Stobo was spy not hostage and was put in risen in Montreal He ma in fluential friends there and man aged to escape He was recap tured after large award was offered and sent to prison in the Citadel at Quebec Once again he was given great deal of freedom and made number of friends In fact there may have been rd mance because there are de scendants living in Quebec to day In any event he and some other risoners
