VINCENT EGAN Business and onsumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The nogrowth zealots of the world could find no weightier foe both figuratively and literally than Ilerlnali Kahn The rotund director of the Hudson Iiistittlte New York finds it perverse that intellectuals of various kinds should be preaching an end to economic growth when the population of the Third World is expanding rapidly In his book World Economic Development 1979 And Beyond tiage Publishing Ltd he says that much of the Canadian govern mental and intellectual establishment views the future through blinkers imposed by the limitstogrowth hypothesis The thesis assumes that anada will be facing crunch in natural resources before the end of the century and may have to return to laborintensive industries and lower standard of living Kahn sees an inconsistency in widespread anadian fears of losing our competitive position in world markets even in the resource sector at time when the world is said to be running out of natural resources The contradiction may not be as great as Kahn thinks however supplier must also be pricecompctitivc and dependable ili order to retain share of the market But our

subject of his influential 1970 book The EmergingJapaneseSuperstate Japans extraordinary growth has been based on elements almost uniquely its own The Japanese we learn would prefer to seek agreement than win an argument co operate rather than engage in class struggle plan their economy rather than compete against each other in the marketplace But Kahn contends that Japan is ex periencing substantial disillusionment with growth fazlpzin has more or less achieved the single most important goal it has been seeking for more than hundred years It has caught up to the West in enough significant ways that the goal itself no longer stands out as vision of the future With no model to follow and no design of its own the country is drifting not onlv economically but also socially politically and culturally As student of Japanese history Kahn believes that the Japanese for at least 100 years have feared that foreigners might caught off their supplies of essential raw materials iaradoxically their excessive fear causes them to follow policy that might destroy the free trading system on which they are so dependent THE DARK SIDE Certainly the world has been able to see the dark side of Japans extraordinary growth and this has no doubt made many converts to the nogrowth cause Japanese industry is said to create en vironmental pollution on scale thats probably the worst in the nontommunist world Even now Japanese business continues to block subtly any significant foreign access to its markets in manufactured goods Its ships are among the worst offenders against international efforts to save whales troinextinction And its traditional concepts of racial homogeneity have led it to ban all but three of the thousands upon thousands of recent refugees from Viet Nam Our customs are so different from those of the Vietnamese Japanese Foreign Min istry spokesman told the New York Times But the excesses of growthorientm nation are not sufficient reason to oppose growth altogether Just as Japan could learn some lessons in responsibility and humanity from other coun tries that are less fanatical about growth so could the rest of us learn from Japan the en couraging lesson that hard work and dedication can enable poor country which it was just third of century ago to grow and lift its people up toa prosperous life Moderation in economic growth as in other spheres should be the ideal vv 111mm hell ml Jun It all lune who amtu KPH lmrfuttoi ltllslllrll Innflatworm new tuun itoptwandmlta It ttlnvllllliut Union nuttun Nam riotor mo It Mien tint It

pause and shed tear for the plight of the federal Tories in Quebec its only fair that we express similar sympathies for sorry state of liberalism in the West Statistically the stories are much the same While the Conservatives hold only two of Quebecs 75 seats with little hope for an early improvement the Liberals possess only three of the 77 seats west of the Ontario Manitoba border And while the Tories have no provincial organization to help them in Quebec the Liberals are forced to cluster around mere skeleton organizations in the western provinces Furthermore for the first time in 110 years there isnt one provincial Liberal government in Canada If the Liberal problems in the West need any additional emphasis those three Ioner MP5 from the area are all parliamentary rookies entering the Commons for their baptism of fire Until they learn few things the party will not only lack answers about western problems it wont even be able to ask effective questions In time Lloyd IIHVUHI

performers but in the meantime the Liberals 0nce mighty western wing is in pitiful state EXTINCT SPECIES The last semblance of western organization was held together by former transport minister Otto Lang who was per sonally defeated in Saskatoon East Lang has since left politics and the organization he godfathered has sunk out of sight And there is not much point in looking to the provincial parties for help in the West They are vir tually an extinct species In many ways Liberal misfortunes in the West are more formidable than the Tory tribulations in Quebec At least the Tories have general idea of what they must do to rebuild grassroots organization in Quebec but the Liberals are in state of confusion over their approach to the problem Unlike the Tories who emphasize teamwork and organization the Liberals have leader who overshadows everything in the party Pierre Trudeau is both their greatest asset and their greatest liability Admits Miss Nude World pageant complete bust CAMBRIDGE Ont CP For Car Alkerton organizer of the 10th annual Miss Nude World Pageant this years contest was bust Alkerton said Sunday he lost about $15000 on the weekend pageant that saw Kisti Blumur 25 blonde business administration student from Pittsburgh Pa crowned Miss Nude World at local hotel Alkcrton said attendance for the event was less than expected and that next year if the contest remains in Ontario he hopes to persuade the Ontario Liquor Control Board to allow beer and liquor to be said About 3500 watched the finals as Becky Marie Neilson 29 of Kirkland Wash and THE GUERRILLAS SAY lilEY WANT YOUR RESIGNATION Patti Moore 26 of Miami Fla took the runnerup spots alongside Blumur The three divided prize money of $10000 in merchandise and trips Eighteen women aged 18 to 29 competed in the event Only two were from Canada one from Toronto and one from Calgary Looking to the future Alkerton said he would like to have more cooperation from tourist promotion agencies to increase the number of American tourists He said next years contest may be held outside Canada for the first time in 10 years if he accepts an offer to stage the pageant in Miami Fla convention

emphasizes the dilemma facing the Liberals It clearly indicated that while the leadership of Trudeau was the biggest single reason cited for voting Liberal it was also the biggest single reason for voting against the Liberals While 40 per cent of those polled voted Liberal because of Trudeau about 27 per cent said they voted either Tory or NDP because of the same man In the case of Prime Minister Joe Clark only seven per cent said they voted for the Conservatives because of him And 10 per cent said voted for the Liberals or NDP because of him DIFFICULT DECISION This is certainly food for thought as Liberal strategists plan their next move If 40 per cent of Liberals voted that way because of Trudeau and the party still managed only three out of 77 western seats its worth pondering the possible results without Trudeau Even with the return of the 27 per cent who voted for other parties because of Trudeau the net loss might be more than the three surviving Liberal MPs could bear its one of the problems of charismatic leadership especially after long 11year reign The maintenance of basic grassroot organizations tends to deteriorate when it be comes obvious that elections are being won an the dominant personality of the party leader Even in defeat Trudeau is an awesome presence within the party He iii spires extreme reactions As the Tories face hastility or indifference in Quebec it is invariably aimed at their party not the leader Joe Clark is not an issue says one senior party member But with the Liberals in the West Trudeau is the overwhelming issue And there are no moderate reactions You can find any number of Liberals to tell you the party will never be be revived on the prairies so long as Trudeau remains leader and you can find iust as many to argue that his continued leadership would be disastrous Until the party faithful decide one way or the other or until Trudeau makes the decision for them its difficult to envisage an effective party rebuilding

Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Late this fall Mr Justice Horace Krever will likely bring down his myal commission report on just how con fidential our health records are in Ontario But what is already plain from the 14 months of hearings the commission held is that the records appear to be about as private as an Argonaut football game Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan OHIPi staff doctors lawyers hospital workers lawyers police and even private investi gators have all treated the idea thatour medical data is confidential with disdain In fact one gets the impression that the only person who never gets easy access to their medical file is the patient Because none of this open access is or was legal the publicity generated by the Krever commission has likely considerably reduced availabilty of the records MOST EXCLUDED Information is now given out only on receipt of court order Which is fine but leaves to Krever the much more demanding question of deter mining what circumstances justify use of court order No one even pretends insurance companies lawyers private investigators or doctors other than oncs personal physician should beallowedtoseeourmedicalfiles But there is problem with the police Krever himself recognizes this as in dicated by news story recounting speech he made in the United States It goes like this Police recently found dead man grasping knife coated in someone elses blood They believed the dying man had stabbed his killer Should Krever asked hospitals be allowed to brezfch confidentiality of health records and teI police about patients they have treated for stab wounds OTHER AREAS And while that is the most graphic example of how closed door policy can in fact aid criminal act there are other touchy spots Krever will also have to deal with One is general police access in security cases such as the time the RCMP reviewed 100000 HIP cards to find an individual who was working for foreign intelligence ser Vice Another is RCMP screening of someone applying for securitysensitive job say with the federal government third involving all police forces is the use of medical files to obtain biographical data on wanted persons including lstrangely enough quite often correct current ad dress SERVE AS EPIDE The whole arena of police access to medical information is fraught with pitfalls and it will be illuminating to see how Krever tackles the problem In part too he is dealing with the thorny philosophical question of balancing off an individuals privacy against the phblic iii terest And whatever conclusions he comes to could very well serve as signpost for what just happens to be another provincial government commission this one still continuing on freedom of information and individual privacy Interpreting the news Voted against return of noose LONDON tCPi The second most powerful figure in the British government in voting against return to capital pun ishment has admitted he was going against the will of the people William Whitelaw home secretary and deputy prime minister has spent much of his career holding together divided Con servative party first in 196470 then during squabbles when Margaret Thatcher was elected party leader Whitelaw rejected advice not to become Mrs Thatchers deputy anddccided he would not only give her total loyalty but also do more or less as she directed to preserve party unity When the issue of capital punishment came tip for voting in the House of Commons how ever Whitelaw put his conscience ahead of previous conviction loyalty to party and party leader and cast his vote against it recognize will be going against the wishes of probably the majority of my constituency and probably of the country as whole he said must simply say that after some 25 years of public life have learned that there are occasions when one must prefer the courage of his inner persona convictions Prime Minister Thatcher voted in favor of return to the rope in the free vote Its dilemma that will face Canadian politicians when the issue comes up in Ottawa later this year Whitelaws contention that the British people want return to capital punishment is supported by the findings of poll conducted by professional polling group for London radio station WANTED PENALTY RESTORED The survey said four out of five Londoners want the death penalty restored bible thought He that is not
