council Deputy Reeve Allan McLean of Oro in deploring the mounting burdens on taxpayers recently observed We are getting the results of too much input from task force and commis sion hearings instead of from elected representatives and voters In calling for moves to strengthen the democratic pro cess the Oro deputy reeve suggested fewer commissions and task force studies and more consultation with consti tuents so ultimate decisions would be based on their recommendations It would be more democratic and considerably less costly he maintained referring to some heavy bills for taxpayers over recommendatons which were discarded In the current provincial election campaign it has been pointed out the Ontario government has done con siderably better than the federal Liberals in checking tax

complexities One day this week within an hour you could have walked few blocks in Montreal and listened to three different versions of cer tain events If you dropped into meeting of the Canadian Club of Montreal federal Finance Minister Donald Macdonald could be heard talking about the psychological pressures being applied by Rene Levesques separatist government And he would go on to say that Englishspeaking Quebecers have made great contribution to the prosperity of the country Then you could walk few blocks and go to meeting of the Montreal Personnel Associ ation where Quebce Cultural Development Minister Camilc Laurin was in full flight about those very same Englishspeaking Quebecers And he would be Concentrating on how those Englishspeaking Quebecers have used their power to freeze out francophones frm the top business jobs There exists in the enterprises run by anglophoncs system whereby francophones are excluded from the head offices and the administrativehierarchies Mr Laurin was not mincing his words as he talked about how francophones account for 93 per cent of the manual work force in the province but only for three per cent of the directors of Quebec 93 largest firms The problem he said is how to break the system of exclusion Well if you walked few more blocks down The world today By JOHN llARliRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Scryicc In spite of her

who is one of this Arab kingdoms major revenue soul ces sees firsthand the great social disparities not only of Morocco but of all present Islamic states The uneven distribution of wealth is perhaps

Elaine Porter Marg Scarlt to the Montreal Board of Trade you might find the answer There board President Ber nard Finestone was talking about the astonishing rate at which francophones were moving into the top and middle management posrtrons The boards survey of 33 firms revealed among other things the following informa tion The number of francophone top executives in those firms has tripled to 98 since 1967 while the total number of jobs increased by only 22 per cent Middle management jobs now held by fran cophones in those firms now total 505 com pared with only 249 in 1967 This represents 103percent increase during period when the total number of such positions increased only nine per cent Francophones now hold 667 jobs as first line supervisor compared with 272 such jobs in 1967 As Finestone sees it the francophone com munity of Quebec has nothing to worry about so far as to jobs are concerned The significance these figures is that they sup port our argument that the proportion of fran cophones in top positions is being rapidly aug mented The battle is being won said the board president and to fight battle that has been won is tolose casualties for nothing He suggested the government drop its con troversial language bill which he said is based on obsolete information NSAYSLAIIIN Now by walking quickly you still have time to return to the Montreal Personnel Association to hear more from Dr Laurin The anglophones escape the demographic pressure of the francophones while the latter experience strongly the economic domination Morocco getting tourist trade had been divided between France and Spain as major North African colonies French Morocco being much larger than the former Spanish enclave And although both countries ruled in North Africa with little of the representative government they both experinced at home up to the Spanish Civil War in 1936 European traditions of free expression are experienced in Morocco In fact Moroccan independence from Fran ce in 1956 did not mean the instant takeover of government institution by Moroccans They had to be trained slowly to govern their nation and to function as public servants This uirement and the need for French expertistczqhas perpetuated the European fact in Morocco King Huun has moved slowly to bring any kind of modern system into the countrys Chamber of Deputies modelled on the Fren ch such as the

organizations dominated by anglophones but the reverse is not true government which has taken on the responsibility to give back to Quebecers their collective identity does not have the right to refuse this task even if it seems an enormous challenge And he went on to say the language legislation is absolutely necessary to bring social peace to Quebec But thats not the way Finestone had seen it If you are unitive totalitarian or coer cive you will ki the progress which is being made he warned Now by grabbing cab you can still get back to the Canadian Club in time to hear Macdonald talk

Thomson News Service TORONTOThis election is costing $20 million In at least one direction the public is getting very poor value for its money Normally there should be general public gain out of an election in that it is an por tunity for general reassessment the province and its problems The campaign should be expected to go into the position of the day fundamental prob lems of the provincial community and various alternatives to meeting them This time such an expectation hasnt been Insofar as advancing the overall welfare of the province is concerned the election has been lop CRITICAL TROUBLE Today the province of Ontario has one great and overriding problem Economically it is in perhaps critical shape Critical in that the economic foundation is introuble There are the surface weaknesses which show in the form of unemployment and in flation But beneath these there is deep trouble in that the old economic foundation has been worn out and cant meet demands of the modern day Only thoroughly redesigned foundation will meet the needs of the future But this has hardly even been recognized in the election BAILING BOAT The government has had some sense of the issue It has said in broad terms that management of the economy is the prime issue of the campaign But it has never been able to really get the point across And even in its statements it has not brought out that in managing the economy the most important factor is redesigning it for the needs of tomorrow And the opposition parties have given prac tically no attention to the question The Liberals also have shown some sense of It but no grip on the whole problem They have shown an awareness of the critical nod to cut government Spending And the one solid proposal they have made in the economic field their program to stimulate small business is good one It would place emphasis on the small business area which is important for redesigned economy and would create new permanent jobs But the NDP has been hopeless Its talk on the economy has been limited to pulling pro posals out of the air for makework jobs Essentially it has been preoccupied with the ways and means of bailing the boat while blind to the fact that the vital problem is to fix the leaks So the campaign Overall an opportunity lost Canada story Britain made bad trade By BOB BOWMAN Britain made one of the worst trades in history in 1748 when she exchanged Louisbourg Cape Breton for Madras India Louisbourg was small community of perhaps 4000 peopleMadras rich city of perhaps one million How could that be bad trade First Britain had to build fort to coun teract Louisbourg which was supposed to be one of the strongest in the World The Chebuc to Bay area of Nova Sootia was the choice for the new fort and the costly building of Halifax began in 1749 Second in 1758 Britain and France were at war again and this time the future of the Nor th American continent was at stake Britain was determined to capture Canada and Louisbourg had to be eliminated as French base before an attack could be made on Quebec An American force then British subjects supported by Royal Navy squadron had captured Louisbourg in 1745 after months hard fighting This time Britain sent force of 12000 troops commanded by Gen Anerst sup ported by fleet of 39 ships to attack Louisbourg The huge armada arrived off the French fort June and the battle began There were 3000 French regular troops in Louisbourg plus 1000 militia and 5001ndians The armament included 200 cannons and 17 heavy mortars Powerful units of the French navy were in the harbor bible
