Service Robin Hood move over Another myth is being exploded It has often becn said that thc Trudeau government has been playing Robin Hood taking from the rich tthrough heavy taxc5 and redistributing the money to the poor Not so contends economist Irwin Gillespie of tarlcton University Ottawa The cvidcncc is that the federal govern ment has not improved the economic position of the poor relative to the highestincomc families during the 10705 he writes in study just issued by the Canadian Economic Policy ommittec and thc 71 Howe Research institutc Its true that most budgci speeches by federal financc ministcrs in this decade have ictcrrcd to thc objcctivc of maintaining or increasing thc rczil incomes of the poor Intentions are no guide to effects however says Prof Gillespie In fact he

Vlctiiguc Mll DuffcrinSinictw Quecns lzirk Toronto Now you see it now you dont assist the poorest families Prof Gillespie contends although it did redistribute income from highestincome families to lower middleincome families IThe UI reforms were based on White Paper that had as one of its two objectives level of benefits more on the basis of need than length of time in the work force The same groups derived the greater benefit from the Turner budget measures that were said the finance minister going to protect the needy from the ravages of in flation And if the poor are defined as those with too little income to pay any income tax then they werent helped at all by such frequently invoked budgetary instruments as personal deductions exemptions credits and tax cuts To those who would argue that the in troduction of income tax on capital gains in 1072 was an example of taking from the rich worthy of Itobin Hood Prof Gillespie responds that this move was almost offset by the decision to discontinue the estate tax at the sametimc DOIBIS RAISED Some other experts remain unconvinced by these arguments however For example Prof Gillespie contends that income redistribution to the poor was non cvcnt and therefore could hardly have contributed to the inflation of the 1970s But Arthur Smith former chairman of the Economic Council of Canada disagrccs llc says that relative changes in income distributions have convinced those who have middle or high incomes that they are being distributed against and this has inserted more income push and cost push into the economy And another member of the Canadian Economic Policy Zommittce ll Irean criticizes the Gillespie study for limiting its examination to federal budgetary policies An extcnsion of the analysis to cover

Service Public opinion moves against the foreign aid banks when times are tough and this seems to be happening at present with two of them The US Congress is far from happy with the internal operations salary structures and lending programs of the World Bank which is the largest of the development banks The InterAmerican Development Bank has had its latest annual meeting in Van couver with its president Antonion Ortiz Mena calling for an extra $9 billion in funds for bank loans The Asian Development Bank based in far off Manila seems to have escaped current mY opinion By RANDY MCDONALD Examiner ity Editor Bill 151 still comes across as an attempt by government at appeasing public pressure Bill 151 is the new gun control legislation which has gun owners upset and members of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters OFAH downright angry Government is looking at the regulations as means of checking the rising use of firearms by criminals and as way of keep ing guns out of the hands of unstable persons Those opposed to the bill consider it unfair They feel they are being punished for the ac tions of few and are against additional government restrictions You can trace the roots of the present bill back few years when rash of violent and messy incidents involving guns triggered an avalanche of public opinion on government to do something The first attempt was Bill 083 which serv ed only to unite the gun owners clubs and organizations such as the FAH Bill 383 was squashed but from the scat tered picccs emerged the present legislation Earlier this week the Barrie and District Hunters and Anglers Conservation Club came out of the closet to initiate meeting aimed at putlining the regulations contained in Bill 351 SCOOPS torts ABSOLUTELY min riisiviii AMlilTHEliE is 5MAii HisTilKE HERE resistance to development bank needs But certainly its venue in the Philippine Islands republic rife with corruption and bad government is the kind of donor country some Canadian and many American politicians are unhappy about Both the World Bank and the Inter American Development Bank with the US as the largest donor nation in each instance are based in Washington and hence are highly visible to an unhappy Congress The latter bank called the IADB for short has faced congressional and public attack several times over the years Its former president was accused by the Washington Post in 1970 of using bank staff for personal activities such as his house repairs Regulations arent clear It was obvious that many of the 60 persons at the meeting were confused Many wondered out loud why there are no clearly defined interpretations of the regulations THERE ARENT ANY There is reason for this there arent any The legislation for the most part is vague It leaves government with sweeping powers and opens the door for additional retrictions As Cpl Wes Prosser community services officer with the Barrie City Police explained the definition of terms used in the legislation and exact definition of what it means wont beknown until tested in court That means gun owners will be walking an uneasy street for couple more years while thousands of dollars are spent testing the legislation Gun owners are realistic enough to accept the fact that controls are here Who can op pose regulations aimed at stifling the ease in which firearm can end up in the hands of unstable person or criminal Whatthcy dont want is thick coating of regulations under which they cant move GLANCING AROUND Camp Tyndale how unoriginal Attention begins to focus on the Ice0ut Car Its

continent where corrupt military and civilian govem ments can and do misdirect such bank loans Ortiz Mena the present president and Mexican multimillionaire has come under attack for the way he became rich before joining the bank and its internal political operations The patrician Ortiz was former Mexican finance minister from an era in Mexican history only now ending when Mexican presidents and cabinet ministers enriched themselves immensely while in office In Washington the House of Represen tatives voted to bar any further use of American funds in the World Bank to Communist Vietnam and Laos Cuba Angola Mozambique and Uganda These are countries either under ruthless Communist regimes or in the case of Angola and Mozambique have worked closely with the Cubans in their several African military operations But the major concern of World Bank of ficials led by the impressive Robert Mac namara as its president is that Congress may order cutbacks on the 25 per cent of the banks authorized capital of $34 billion which comes from US sources The bank loans only for economic criteria But important Congressmen and supporters of President Jimmy Carters human rights program are proposing to cut back US financial involvement for political reasons In Canada strong direct attacks through the House of Commons do not take place frequently against our international lending activities though we have the same col lection of ultraconservatives and human rights supporters who have strongly different reasons for wishing Canada to reduce its foreignaid outlay Rather Canadian critics seem to be hung up on single issue where the IADB lending by Canada is concerned This is our financial and other commitments both inside the bank and elsewhere to Chiles military govern ment This is curious narrowing of the larger complaints against lending funds to dic tatorial states But the recent IADB meeting in Vancouver was under attack primarily over Chile and not much else NO

said How old do you think am We studied the wrinkles and eyebags for time finally coming up with Sixtyone His face fell about 15 centimetres and he said hangdoggedly Pretty close Im 62 Those of us who look our age are secretive about it just because of that fact if we are Youthy looking we go around telling anyone wholl listen just what age we are When were 17 were longing with youthful zest to be 25 When were 103 were longing desperately tobe 70 again and so on But no matter what we do how we ap proach the issue nothing ever seems to hap pen except that we dont get any younger Some of us stay young by thinking young as one part of getting older is in the mind Yet arent we always being told to Act your age All we can do personally is to think young and act old Whenever anyone has the unmitigated gall to ask us our age we always answer them quite truthfully We were 27 next week That gets them Canadas story Introduction to hell ahead By BOB BOWMAN During the First World War Canadian troops landed in France early in 1915 and got their first experience under fire at Ploegsteert which they called Plugstreet It was mild introduction to the hell ahead the Second Battle of Ypres which began April 22 Ypres which they called Wipers is in Belgium and is the gateway to the channel ports of Dunkerque Calais and Boulogne It was vital to hold this sector and the Canadians were ordered to defend part of it even though they were still green troops with perhaps six months training On the afternoon of April 22 they saw something that looked like fog drifting towards them from the German lines It was poison gas being used for the first time in warfare French colonial troops to the left broke and fled choking and gasping The Germans came pouring through the gap bayonets high and the flank of the Canadian Division was turned and practically trapped The gas destroyed the will to live Victims writhed on the ground or in ditches and cried Go away and let me die There were no gas masks but the Canadians soon learned they could save themselves by holding urine soaked rags over their nostrils It was in these conditions that they held on and attacked again and again until May Their valor and sacrifice saved the channel ports In the first six hours of fighting the 10th Regiment from Calgary lost 619 men idlled or wounded of its complement of 800 men Total Canadian casualties in the Second Battle of Ypres were 6000 men killed wounded or missing OTHER APRIL 22 EVENTS 1612Bylow and Baffin began voyage to Arctic 1737First smelter in Canada was built at Three Rivers
