Monday August 23 I976 Good production vital for prosperous economy An idea which many readers have found intriguing appeared in Tomato colunin recently when uniform income for every Canadian was suggested What am callin economic problems This should at stroke eliminate all cause of jealourly and discon tent it was suggested with an 318000 year income proposed for vetybod as start with regular increases indexed to the cost of living Like the rest of its the writer no is having some thoughts about his Utopia idealistic as it mi lit first appear If everyone the same income who would be bothered working and if production fell apart of what value doubt receive would be the $181100 It does serve good point as no by stirring up creative thinking It should make very clear that the real value of money has to be based on what money can buy which means that high production is essential to an af dotibt intended fluent society Those who have gone overboard plugging for guaranteed national income might reflect on what is going to happen to the production so vital for strong economy if more and more people decided that work wasnt necessary for them There was time when young people were taught they had debt to the society which looked after them to do their part to pay their way in service and work Most of them accepted this basic economic fortunately teaching and majority are still doing despite theoretical concepts about work such as expounded at con ferences Lake Couchiching last by people who should summer for is not salaries for all but ie same so ary for all said the writer in outlining his Utopian solution for modern know better It mi ht be well argued that in this mo erii technolo ical age hi production of assent als should no roblem With all the technology ust should be expertise available there should be abundance for all who wish to work for it Whether this extended to ablebodied who prefer to wait for charity cheques is something else ain

well to give stress to but the real solution of todays economic problems is production and distribution can have the most af fluent society in the world if enough decide this is what they want and are willing to do their part to The main need today is good guidance toward the goals they wish Government spending cut would bring down rates Ry Vixciixr so Business and Consumer ffairs Anal st Thomson News Service The ceiling on wage increases and the rollback of corporate profit margins arent the only Complaints about the antHn flittioii prograiiialthough the anguished bleats of big labor and

argued because they increase business costs ar tificially Although the detractors and defenders of the tightmoney policy may be fewer they are just as ardent as those who ob ject to the wageincrease

removal of antiinflation re straints He points out that high bor rowing costs not only erode Ca nadian industrys com petitiveness in foreign markets but also make it difficult to raise new investment capital for growth Heres how Mr Biddell put it in recent speech If Bank of Canada policy is that the private sector should not be allowed enough money to do what it believes needs to be done in this country and if it is going to have to pay higher price than others or the money it is allowed to borrow then think its time we were given some solid evidence to justify that policy For too long in place of solid evidence we have had nothing but the same tired old economic theories The theory whether or not its tired and old is that high in temt rates discourageo bor rowing The less people rrow the less they spendand the less they the better the chanceofc kinginflation Fundamentally the level of interest rates depends upon the oldest of market prin ciplesthe demand for funds vs the supply of money That suggests two ways of achieving Mr Biddells goal of bringing down interest rates Increase the money supply which feeds inflation as re liably as gasoline feeds fire or reduce the overall demand for funds on the part of borrow ers In Canada its the federal government that is keeping the demand for funds at level that forces up interest rates In 1975 its net financing re quirements were just under $5 billion or 27 times its 1974 re quirements Rather than raising the money it wants by increasing taxes prudent but politically unpopular the government bor rows it on the open market in competition with all other bor rowersprovincial and munici pal governments corporations and others That competition pushes in terest rates higher and higher for all borrowers from the big gest corporation to the ordinary bank customer If the government really wan ted to bring down interest rates in Canada and at the same time ease the problem of too much money in circulation the solution is simplicity itself Reduce government spending THE PARTY lg OVERGANG EVERYBODY GETIN LINE FROM PARLIAMENT HIL Tom Cossitt keeps questions going about PETs spending By STEWART MaclEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service With the bureaucrats busy trying to convince Canadians they are being served by pen nypinching government Tom Cossitts continuing revelations must be driving them up the wall Mr Cossitt is that angry Tory member of Parliament from Leeds retreaded Liberal who has taken dead aim on the ex travagant spending around 24 By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Now finally word about Marvin Shore the London North Liberal who has switched parties and joined the Conservatives What about Shore The 48yearold accountant leaves the impression that he wants desperately quite desperately to move into his own His own being his own opinion of where he should be and the limeli ht he should be sharing accor ing tohis talents NOT NOBLE In formally quitting the Liberals the member said he had never felt comfortable in the party In support of this one can say that he never looked com fortable He came into the party as Sussex Drive the official resi dence of Prime Minister Trudeau Although cant recall Mr Trudeau ever saying anything about this articular Conservative thin we can safely assume he doesnt exac tly worship him But the bureaucrats must find him even most distasteful Here they are churning out that propaganda about how the government is cutting all un necessary expenses and along comes Mr Cossitt with another QUEENS PARK Future might be bright for PGLiberal member hero last fall after having won John Robarts old riding and immediately was named finan cial critic and was spotted prominently in the front ben ches There he tried nobly to live up to his advance billing but was not noble success In fact the observer could get uncom fortable watching him He tried but he just didnt seem to have it He would ask question and it just wouldnt come out right or forcibly He would try to follow up and end in luster As the main financial critic for his party he had to make one of the two or three major speeches for his arty in his criticism ofthe bu get It was one of the less dis tinguished budget criticisms of recent years Mr Shore does have good tale of bigleague bills at Sussex Drive This time it seems there are some minor electrical repairs being carried out at cost of $9000 And as usual the straight talking Mr Cossitt referred to the expenditures as ridiculous costly and worthy of suspicion Furthermore he suggested Mr Trudeau delayed the work until Parliament had adjourned so no questions could be asked in the House This was denied by Gerry credentials He has been very successful in private life And he had good record and respect in l0 cal politics in London His future may still be bright It is always hard to assess in advance how an electorate will react to man who switches and this is the second time Shore has changed stream he was Progressive Con servative once before He probably took good bite of the Conservative vote in his riding last time and may keep this But along with this there also is section of humanity which cant stomach coat turners and he should suffer losses from this element However he well could hold his riding and if he does should make the cabinet But one has to wonder Even then would he be comfortable Baker chief of building mainte nance for the public works de partment The current elec trical repairs he said are just one of many thousands of main tenance items the department takes care of just like you would in your own residence Well not quite Mr Baker Most of us dont spend $6000 to instal new circuitbreaker panel and replace some base ment wiring Perhaps $3000 is not out of line for connecting the swimming pool electrical system with the same trans former that supplies the house but few of us are in position to make such judgment Not many of us have $210000 swim ming pools An information officer for the works department has said that some 515000 might be spent on rewiring over the next three years dont have the detailed breakdown of previous ex penditures on electrical work at 24 Sussex but many thousands of dollars were involved And the additional $15000 should put things in pretty good shape Mr Cossitt seems to have been close to the mark in say ing that wiring leading to that controversial swimming pool was installed contrary to On tario Hydro regulations Mr Baker confirmed that they Hydra allowed us to make temporary connection when the pool was built last summer so we could get the pool in operation Nice chaps at Hydro Of course this renewed con troversy over the pool provided golden opportunity for Mr Cossitt to renew his demands that the donors be identified It will be remembered that the pool was provided as gift by group of Canadians whose names have never been re vealed External Affairs Department bogged down in inertia as result of ministers performance interference By John Harbron Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson Pkws Service Canadas department of ex ternal affairs seems bogged down in inertia bureaucracy and indifference these days result of many negative factors which are making it about as impotent as the department of national defence Part of the reason is the lack lustre and aimless performance of External Affairs Minister Al Ian MacEachen surely the wor stwehavehadinashort netinue of good to very impres sive men in his job Another is the preempting of hisfunction by the time minis ter who almost tched the Montreal Olympics over his closetofanatical in terpretation of Taiwans iden tity at the Games The same kind of foreign pol icy reemptin emanated from are Lalo health and welfare minister He takes the cake for downri ht meaness in denying he miIliondollar federal grant to the more re cent Olympics of the handi capped because South Africa participated in it The current revelation of Canadas indifference to hun dreds of Vietnamese refugees promised Canadian visas if exit documents could be secured from Vietnamese authorities is one of several examples of the external affairs departments lack of humanity in dealing with simple people caught in the diplomatic web That previously wellkept se cret revealed by CBC reporter Colin Hoath on assignment in the new Communist Vietnam has been denied in rt by waffling MacEac en He claims the unlucky Vietnamese cannot be processed because the new Marxist regime will not let Canadian immigration of ficers into Saigon But it is said that such offi cers if assigned to Thailand which wants assurance from the Canadians that Vietnamese exiles there will be accepted if they come to that country from Vietnam would help Canada keep her promises of early last year MEXICAN MENACE There is the growing crisis of Canadians mu ed robbed and threatened wit violent death in Mexicoquickly becoming nontourist paradisewhich the external ministry first viewed benignly The departments answer is to appoint honorary consuls in trou spots like Aca lco and Guadalajara But be of them are Mexican citizens tion from this colum nist to the head of the depart ment of external affairs con sular division on CBC pro gram that Canadian paSSports carry warning about Mexico as they used to do in the politi cal sense about Eastern Eu rope has not been taken up Then there is the ongoing crisis of who is allegedly di recting the broadcasts to Communistdominated Eastern Europe and the USSR from the CBCs Radio Canada Inter national after public protests from that great democrat the Soviet ambassador to Canada about antiSoviet bias on the Canadian shortwave radio service But lets return to our alleged hard line about South Africa If its sport culture diplomacy all areas where no bucks are at stake we are very tough no truck or trade with the racist crawd around Prime Minister Forster and company But if dollars are at stake then our trade continues just as usual with Canadian multina tional companies encouraged to participate in that countrys economy which exploits black labor and in the export to Can ada of South African manufac tured products Names cannot be used in my story of recent Toronto week end seminar of the Canadian Institute of International Af fairs where the privileged platform as they say per sisted This columnist asked senior and wellknown member of the external affairs department in attendance how we could justify this totally ambivalent and cynical policy towards South Africa HAS NO ANSWER The hardpressed di Iomat looked at me and itted there is no answer no way out of policy which is no policy Another influential par ticipant from the political side jumped in and said the prime minister would know about this and something would be done about it The fact is Mr Trudeau is about the most ambivalent of all permitting his external af fairs minister to daily with the Russians who run the worlds worst dictatorship but making an issue of the South African mition on sport and in the UN ause it is popular in this country to do so One wonders how ex perienced men and women many of them distinguished performers in the oncerefined arts of Canadian di lomacy can live with themse ves in department so uncertain of its goals and administer public policies which shatter our prestige The mass resignations from their ranks which took place during the Diefenbaker years are not being repeated in the Trudeau era MILITARY HAS REBELS At least the defence depart ment in its continuous timeof troubles can point to plenty of rebels beginning with the fa mous admirals revolt over unification in 1965 followed by hosts of disgusted earlyuretir ing senior officers fed up with bad defence policy What if anything will make external affairs functionaries rise up in protest these days It would appear nothing There is only sad immobil ity in the Lester Pearson block in Ottawa itself sad contradiction in terms Entebbe book suffers from instant approach By STUART The airborne Israeli com mando raid on Entebbe airport Uganda which rescued 105 hos tages from Palestinian terror ists July of this year was strategic and tactical surprise The story of the raid is told by Torontobased journalist and author William Stevenson in 90 Minutes At Entebbe Bantam Books thi pages $195 The raid was the culmination of frantic but highly effective intelligence and staff work by the Israeli military It illus rated the distances over which complex actions can be fought in Lin age of technological war Inre It also was high drama enac ted by an Israel convinced that she stands alone in total war for survival against inter national barbarism Time and again Israel has insisted that onlv effective ac tion not capitulation will in the long run reduce the terrorist menace As state under siege it has the trained forcesinbeing the intelligence network that con stantly tracks its enemies and contingency plans all of which can be mobilized swiftly for such strikes The Israeli government in sisted that its negotiations were honest and not mask to stall until its forces could be laun ched but it clearly prepared Operation Thunderbolt as soon as it knew the hijackers in tended to remain in Entebbe INSIDE KNOWLEDGE William Stevenson has an ex tensive background as foreign and war correspondent in Kenya Israel Malaya and Korea This is his third work on the Israeli military and he clearly reveals an insiders knowledge He is fascinated by uncon ventional warfare and con vinced of its necessity He even took part in it him self with Sir William Steph enson the British intelligence officer of the Second World War whose exploits Stevenson de tailed in Man Called Intrepid Appended to his narrative here are excerpts from the sub sequent United Nations Security Council debate over the Ugandan resolution for the condemnation of Israel for its action and parts of con versations between Israeli retired Col Bar Lev and his old friend President Idi Amin of Uganda Stevensons sympathies are unreservedly with Israel He views Amin as an unprincipled savage and unstable dictator who has close links with inter national terrorism and clearly collaborated in the hijacking of the Air France airbus on June 27 after its Athens stopover en route from Tel Aviv to Paris TOTAL WAR The author sketches the shad CANADAS STORY Kelsey first on buffalo hunt By non BOWMAN On Aug 23 1691 Henry Kel sey of the Hudsons Bay Com pany was the first white man to take part in buffalo hunt on the Prairies In fact it was 1738 before the next white men saw the Prairies They were Pierre de la Verendrye and sons Kelsey was only 20 years old when he volunteered to accom pany party of Stone Indians from Fort Nelson Hudson Bay to their hunting grounds The purpose of his trip was to en coura other Indians to bring their urs to the trading posts on Hudson Bay This expedition of Kelseys had an aftermath reminiscent of the presentday Watergate affair When the Hudsons Bay Company received its charter in 1670 it was obligated to ex plore the continent Critics charged that it failed to do this and there was an investigation in 1749 by parliamentary com mittee It was known that Kel sey kept diary during his ex ploration of the Prairies and the Hudsons Bay Company wanted to include this as evidence of its activity The diary could not be found The mystery was not solved until 19 when the missing diary was found in the library of Castle Dobbs Carrickfergus Northern Ireland It was among papers that had belonged to Ar thur chbs one of the chief critics of the Hudsons Bay owy backgrounds of the hijack ers and their leader Dr Wadi Hadad and the war of attrition they wage by terror against Is rae This is brutal total war which can subvert even the morality of those who defend civtlization in Stevensons View Terrorism must be stopped he insists and Israels action was necessary and just not only from its own viewpoint but from that of civilized humanity In the segregation of Israeli passengers at Entebbe and the subsequent release of nonJew ish hostages both Israel and Stevenson see resurrection of the Nazi holocaustespecially when occurring with the sanc tion of Amin man who openly admires Hitler AN INSTANT BOOK Instant books such as this have their shortcomings Hastin composed for mass market 90 Minutes at Entebbe is emotional anecdotal im pressionistic padded and undi gested Only Israels case is made The Palestinian issue is vir tually reduced to trumpedup excuse for brutality And the implications of the raid are not examined Given Kenyan President Jomo Ken yattas clear but subdued sup port what does the raid mean for East African politics How will the raid affect Is raels image in Africa What part did Israels internal poli tics play Stevenson asserts too soon that Thunderbolt marks tum ing of the tide against terror ism He is too enthralled with the heroics of the raid and of ten smothers its enormous risks under Israels calculation and selfconfidence And what is the future of such operations as each side adjusts to the others tactics STORY OF TOURAOE On the other hand the narra tive is one of courage and drama The account of intelligence and staff work is revealing es pecially in the assistance Israel received informally from the world intelligence community The excitement of the hijack ing and the raid the anxiety of the hostages and the com plexity of preparing such oper ationsareall ex lained Until broa er better bal anced and more reflective study of this operation is produced 90 Minutes At En tebbe will provide much background that probes behind what the ress revealed at the time an gives its readers close look at an

might not ave made great deal of difference Kelsey wrote his diary in very bad verse and did not indicate clearly where he had been It is only known for certain that he got as far as The Pas Man which he named Derrings Point for director of the company However it is considered possible that he got as far as Saskatchewan The CBCs first radio trans mitter on the Prairies was given the call letters
