overly relaxed unemployment in surance scheme linked to an overly severe ant iinflation pro gram Canadian ttneriiploymenl in surancc has become major work disincentive and it has in creased unemployment levels iii the country In booklet released this month entitled Unemploy ment in Yanada The Impact of Unemployment Insurance the authors liristopher irecn and leanvMichcl riiisiiitaii conclude that the impact of unemployment insurance on the unemployment rate is not less than one percentage poitit and they believe it could be as much as 15 percentage points the two years following the passage of the UI Act of 1971 there was large and un mistakable increase in the ratio of job vacancies to unemployed persons for given rates of unemployment The resultant shift in the unemployment vacancy relation suggest substantial worsening of labour market frictions in 1972 and 1973 and is consistent with the hypotheses that major liberalization in the benefit levels coverage and ad ministration of the unemploy ment insurance program will tend to raise the rate of unemployment The second problem facing the Nation as we try to regain otir lost momentum is the governments current approach in regulating business and labor in the name of fighting iii flation Labor spokesmen have complained that the program is inequitable Now businessmen unable to generate the required cash needed to produce more jobs and business activity It appears that the proposed changes may well lead to postponed investment decisions and an increase in umemploy ment thereby delaying econ omic recovery ACTION NEEDED It is essential that the govern ment moves as quickly as possi ble to remove this double headed threat to our future pro sperity Faced with evidence that the unemployment in surance changes are in fact contributing to unemployment it is necessary that the govern ment correct these oversights without further delay Certainty rather than press as the government has been to ing for the early introduction of guaranteed annual wage which would be further disincentive to work it would be preferable for the govern ment to shelve that idea and ciple of insuring only those who cannot in fact find work Secondly faced with le gitimate criticism with respect to the antiinflation program it is important that the govern ment responds to this criticism to insure that the economy is not needlessly impeded ALI AFFECTED When the governments new regulations with respect to the ant iinflation program were an nounced last May request was made for businessmen to respond and suggest if changes should be made Businessmen have been doing exactly that pointing out that the regula tions will dull our economic recovery Now it is surprising to hear lean Iuc Pepin chair man of the antiinflation board comment that he is pleased with this negative response from business It indicated the new regulations are having suitable bite he states Unfortunately it is all Cana or WHERE ELSE

1971 contributed substantial ly to the present unsatisfactory dilemma It is pointedout that Iluriiig Art thieves hit hard in Egypt By LISICITII RALOUNY fAIltt All Nobody has tried to smuggle the Great Pyramid out of Egypt yet But thefts of the countrys nntie quities have reached such wholesale proportions that it seems only matter of time be fore there will be big hole in the sky near Cairo The pipeline from tomb rob her through illegal dealer to foreign buyer has swollen to un precedented dimensions iti re cent years say officials of the nations antiquities depart ment Art objects are disappearing right in the airo Museum and the lust for ancient gold has led robbers to beat the antiquities department to undiscovered burial sites twice this year lhoroughly alarmed parlia ment is enacting new law im posing $500 fines and sixryear jail terms on anyone caught stealing art art object It will be enforced by newly created force of 2500 detectives and guards who will fan out across Egypt to protect its cultural heritage IIIIIHIF AiiINSI IN FLAIION The demand for art objects comes mainly frorri European and American collectors who buy them as hedge against in flation Egyptian officials say They claim relatively few stolen treasures are sold inside ERYI We believe there are more Pharaoiiic atitiquiies outside Egypt than in otir museums says Ahmed Kadry deputy uti dersecretary of state for cul lure Frankly there is no way we can find out lioyy much has been stolen Kadry said If were to guess would say billions of dollars worth but that would he only guess Thefts or attempted thefts that have been discovered are believed to lie the tip of the ice berg but they indicate the scope of the loss Last year two detectives found the bullet riddled body of man
