Analyst Thomson Newspapers Canadians continue to engage in one of their great national pastimeslooking with envy at an American achievement and wondering how to duplicate it This time they are looking at the United States economic re covery slow and halting admit tedly but better than our own with the resurgence of con sumer demand lower lending rates which lowered bit more last week and the huge turn around in auto sales For the moment however we seem to be emulating on US experience which many Ameri cans said wouldnt work namely Nixonstyle wage and price controls The story goes that the chaos and unreadibility of the early AIB documents is because they were copied lock stock and barrel from the American ones hastily secured by AIB brass as instant guidelines Whether true or not former president Nixons Phases to III were tried and terminated in much shorter time than the Trudeau government intends to perpetuate them probably un til the announced date sometimein 1978 Thats the next federal elec tion year unless recent events in Quebec force an earlier elec tion and also an earlier end to wage and price controls In any case the government still hopes to go to the elec torate on the verge of the 19805 to tell it that wage and price controls have worked and have saved the economy from ramp ant inflation ANGER AOAINSTAIB Many Canadians are angry about the controls their

example of the vig orous application in the US of the controversial Galbraithian McDougall got bad break By BOB BOWMAN William McDougall one of the original members of the Re form movement that became the Liberal party got bad break in his career He was one of the Reformers who joined the TacheMacdonald govern ment in 1864 and solved litical crisis that might have roken up Canada Then he he ed to plan Confederation an became Father of Con federation Canada planned to take over the Northwest Territories from the Hudsons Ba Company Dec 1869 an McDougall was chosen to be the first lieur tenantgovernor Perhaps he should be blamed for trying to arrive at Fort Garry in eptember two mon ths before the official takeover In any case Louis Riel stopped him at the border and would not let him enter the territory he was intended to govern Mc Dougall and his retinuc had to wait at Pembina until Dec and then on cold snowy night he crossed the border and read proclamation into the wind He still couldnt get to Fort Garry and ignominiously retur ned to Ottawa Owing to slowness of commu CANADAS STOR theory of public goods is the hardlybreathing desperate city of New York In that city the public sector Galbraiths favorite place for social change thought it could supply early pensions to police men free college education to any resident of New York City and forgiveable loans to its own employees and the public at large Who honestly needs more or any of Galbraiths ideas in our country where the percentage of gross national product com ing from our burgeoning gov ernment sector is reaching 50 percent From colonial times we have been overgoverned and over regulated Where the American tradition of land development meant deed instant own ership and very strong backs ours was regulatory boards of exBritish army officers turned justices of the peace assigning land according to ones rank in society OLONIAL HERITAGE The boards of quarter ses sions of colonial Upper Canada were the historic predecessors of AlBs wartime control boar ds and endless regulatory func tions over our industry and con sumers What Canadas economy needs right now are more bran ch plants from those mul tinational corporations which the selfassured Galbraith in sists cause all the trouble in the first place with their market place distortions and nasty profit motives No wonder many Canadian businessmen are ungraciously calling exCanadian Galbraith an unwanted American import nications in those days Mc Dougall did not know that Prime Minister Macdonald had post ned the deal Macdonald trie

Argentina visited Ottawa unprepared though am for this plea to load my party and my country FROM PARLIAMENT HILL Opposition party leaders off base on Trudeaus television address By STEWART MacLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Its not easy but today am determined to resist this over powering urge to continue throwing snowballs at that lu dicrous royal commission on government financial manage ment And to help keep my mind off the subject have been trying to concentrate on the con troversy surrounding Prime Minister Trudeaus decision to make television address to the Canadian people about the Quebec election Its amazing how quickly members of Parliament can be offended when they think their rights or privileges have been tampered with And naturally as soon as Mr Trudeau an nounced that he would have fireside chat ontelevision with his fellow Canadians to Peace Tower fairly wobbled with opposition outrage You would think Mr Trudeau was guilty of treason by going outside the House The crucial point said New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broadbent is that the rights and privileges of mem bers of Parliament to exercise their function have been treaspassed upon The prime minister in our system is the head of the politi cal party which happens to have the greatest supgort in the Parliament of Cana and as such in our system the prime minister has an obligation to deal directly in Parliament with public matters To bypass QUEENS PARK Ontario concerned over confederation By DON IIEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO The shock of Quebec still has them picking upthe pieces here Trying to pick them up The fact is that it is being suddenly realized that con federation is being threatened and that pragmaticallyfor economic reasonsconlt federation means great deal to Ontario And there is general state of bewilderment about what should be done about it what can be done about it One thing that should not be done it would seem is to follow the advice of Liberal Leader Stuart Smith Dr Smith is native of Que bec and grew up in Montreal But the evidence is that he doesnt know his native rov ince and its people very we Very shortly after the Le vesque victory Dr Smith pro posed that Premier Davis should start going into Quebec and preaching the lesson of na tionhood And that probably most of all IN IIERPRETIN THE NEWS Truce With Romania is it for real By ROI URRIE LONDON JP Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev appar ently has succeeded in papering over differences between the Kremlin and independent minded Romanian leaders on the eve of an important War saw pact meeting in the Romanian capital of Bucharest But the communique issued at the conclusion of Brezhnevs talks with Romanias Nicholae Ceausescu indicates to many observers that the implied ac cord is more cosmetic than real The meeting was the final one in series of East European visits by Brezhnev since last June when the summit meeting of European Communist par ties in East Berlin asserted each partys right to an in dependent course contrary to Moscows wishes It also followed his lessthan successful visit to Yugoslavia the most independent of all the Communist countries There President Tito ot Brezhnevs signature on ocument safe guarding Yugoslavia against any attempt to integrate his country with the Socialist community although many remained skeptical of the docu ments real Worth NOT IMPRESSEI Brezhnev ap ared more suc cessful in ear ier visits to P0 land and other Sovietbloc countries but apparently Ceausescu was not greatly in fluenced by this buildup to the Bucharest meeting He still publicly em hasizes Romanias links to te non aligned movement and refers to LEONID BREZHNEV cosmetic only the need for nuclearfree zone among the Balkan statesall guaranteed to annoy Moscow In fact Romania has been annoying the Kremlin for long timein encouraging trade with the West cultivating relations with China and the European Economic Com munity EEC refusing to break relations with Israel and in refusing to have Soviet troops on its soil But in placing great em phasis on the communiques claim of favorable prospects for greater economic co operation between Romania and the Soviet Union Ceausescu betrays the growing weakness of Romanias defiant position against Moscow Parliament is to ignore his con stitutional responsibilities and to deny the right of those of us in opposition to exercise our re sponsibilities Mr Broadbent found some highpowered support on the op position benches What the prime minister was trying to do said Conservative Leader Joe Clark was to de rogate the authority of Parlia ment and take away from this chamber the responsibility which appropriately belongs to members of Parliament The lace where this statement ou to be made ir st is here on the floor of Par liament said Stanley Knowles the procedural expert of the NDP And Rene Matte the Social Credit MP from Champlain is the one thing that should not bedone Ontario is in very delicate situation where Quebec is con cerned and the premier is on an extraordinaril delicate spot Two key facts are that the people of Quebec have sound reason to desire to be much more their own masters and that they have deep and natu ral resentment of Ontario as the prime province of the English who have dominated them There are reassuring signs that left to work thin out on their own they may we stick to Canadian nationhood But one development almost guaranteed to turn them off Would be to be told what they should do and particularly by Ontario PRESS HAZARD For the interest of the rest of Canada it is to be hoped that when Quebec has its referen dum its people will be voting on whether they want to stay in Canada and not whether they want to get out If their question and their mood is itive they quite pos sibly wil respond positively But if they are negative there will be natural reaction to re spond negatively And anything that looks like an attempt at dictation from Ontario could quickly turn the question negative The pic would be voting not or or against Canada but against 0n tario There is an awesome burden on Premier Davis Even one in cidental remark from him which is misinterpreted or mis understood could eventually shatter the structure of our whole country With press in Quebec which is dominantly and intensely heparatist the chance of suc misinterpretation can be ac tually terrifying And all wisdom would seem to sayPremier Davis stay out of Quebec and as far as possible stay out of its affairs BIBLE lthUGHl Behold have refined thee but not with silver have chosen thee in the furnace of sf fliction Isaiah 4810 Cheer up Perhaps the Lord is probing in the fire of your life ooking for vessel of faith that He can use Father bless all who are in stress just now May tey come forth stronger in Jesus name Amen said the prime ministers ac tion shows how anti democratic he is havent yet been able to fig ure out the rationale behind this one Heward Grafftey Con servative who represents the Quebec riding of BromeMis sisquoi managed in effect to accuse Mr Trudeau of making partisan issue out of national unity He didnt mention the fact that his own leader Mr Clark has been busy making es in which he partly ames the prime minister for the election of the Parti Que becois If anyone was to have tele vised fireside chat with Cana dians on this issue said Mr Grafftey it should be the Gov emorGeneral N0 BREACH Commons Speaker James rome didnt take long to spike any suggestion that Mr Trudeaus roposed telecast was breach parliamentary privilege Such privilege he ruled never has extended to compelling minister or prime minister to making statement in the House under any circumstances regardless of the importance of the sub ject But the CBC decided that Mr Trudeaus chat would probably be partisan enough to justif the other three opposition lea ers coming on the screen imme diately afterwards to comment on what he said Trouble is they had to prepare speeches without knowing what the prime minister was going to say And the results showed it The prime minister hap ns to be the effective leader this country and regardless of how parliamentary system is de signed to operate surely he should be permitted to talk with his constituents on national television occas onally without all this harassment And if the opposition parties dont like what he says the CBC Would have an obligation to let them refily later now its Pierre Elliott Tru eau who must deal with Rene Levesque And for one would like to have listened to what he had to say without be coming embroiled in fourring political circus Next thin you know the op position lea ers will be lined up on Mr Trudeaus Chesterfield waiting for equal time on his annual Christmas message THE WORLD TODAY Population curbs showing progress By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The time bomb that apt ex pression for population owth ticks away inevitably ile we in the rich countries worry that our affluence is seeping away from high inflation and mount ing taxes constant reminder of this war crisis is the excellent monthly United Nations bulletin called simply Population which tells of the UNs continuous efforts to bring down the number of new human beings coming into our crowded and very hungry world Its slow moving and quiet record of accom lishment in reducing the pop ation growth which Population tells me about each month But it is profess of an absolutely essen tial ind The current issue discusses Nepals family planning pro gram for thei ea familyoftwo children Other items list the same kind of progress in Haiti the poorest of Latin Americas poorest nations Per capita income in this neardestitute Caribbean republic is about $72 per an num lower than many of the much newer African states But the UN Fund for Popu lation Activities has financed posters in Creole the local French dialect promoting fam ily planning methods These are small countries In the truly giant ones like India Indonesia Mexico to name only three how is population control faring INDIAS GOOD RECORD It is perhaps doing the best in India where Prime Minister Gandhis dictatorship now can virtually order Indias masses to cooperate The rural campaigns to com pel wider use of uterine devices in women mass vasectomies for men have been much more efficient than under Indias pre viously chaotic democracy If Mrs Gandhi can bring down Indias horrendous popu lation growth it could be justification in itself for her change from democracy to dic tatorship about 18 months ago Mexico which had 40 million in the lfiOs now has 60 million and will have staggering 100 million by the end of the cen tury is clearly lagging Mexican cities beginning with the capital are night mares of rural population over flow widening slums and municipal chaos in handling the growing movement of unem ployed rural populations to the cities This is not only Mexican problem but worldwide one in the Third World At least in Mexico City the poor and eco nonfically disenfranchised still find some kind of accom modation and some piece work In Calcutta human beings fall down and die in the streets What population explosions do in countries which have reached economic takeoff like Mexico is to reduce the ef fectiveness of gross national product increase And when the gap between GNP population growth starts to narrow the ac complishments of decades are in jeopardy In addition the many social revolutionary systems in the Third World nations with their pelitical promises of food shel ter and literacy for all are ren dered impotent with so many extra mouths to feed and people to house when births are unrest ricted In our empty land rich in just about everything the worlds masses do not share population explosions are academic Even when we go to countries suf fering from them take again Mexico we do not visit Mexican slum nor want to do so on holiday time MONEY BEFORE PEOPLE The world crisis of too many people does come to mind when aid money is in the news for inadequate or inefficient dis tribution And then we are more con cerned about
