suggcstcd only that wcrc getting closer Aftcr ncarly 40 years of moving closer to mcnibciship in tlic intcrAmerican system Canadas road in this direction has set rccord in the snails pace procedures of in ternational diplomacy It is true we have had an official observer at the OAS since 1972 with the rank of full am bassador but no membership Our official observer cannot take part in any of the organimtions public activities only watch them in silcncc and makc his con fidcntial rcports to Ottawa OBSERVER ONLY Canada is one of thrcc nations who have of ficial OAS obscrvcrs but who arc not full member nations The othcr two Guyana and the Bahamas were British crown colonics in the days when Consumer movement in US loses saccharin ban fight mediate and loud Opponents seized on an un fortunatc statement issued by Canadas health branch to the effect that the dosagc used on the rats exceeded by at least 800 times the exposure of human who drank 12 ounces of diet soft drink each day This was twistcd to suggwt that the only risk was to people who drank 800 cans of pop daypatently absurdor to laboratory rats Others were indignant because they thought foreigners Canadiansqwere telling Americans what they couldnt eat The sound and fury helped to obscure the validity of the Canadian research methods and conclusions It is scientifically respec table to use high dosages in such tests and to relate the results to humans And even if it takes high dosage to produce cancer it should be matter of con cernr because an equally high dosage of noncarcinogenic substance won Some 37000 Canadians will die of cancer this year Their tumors arént labeled with the name of the substance that started the cancer development years ago Businesses that produce saccharin or use it in their

the same cvidcnce existed against spinach for cxamplc it would be off the shelves tomorrow Canada rejects invitation for full OAS membership Canada first said no to intcrAnicrican in vitat ions four decades ago The historic reasons for refusing used to be our closer ties with the British and French world commonwealths in which Canada remains an important link The interAmerican system was formed largely without Canada and we said blandish ments from its member nations in our direc tion were being made to use Canada asa counterweight in the organization to the US Well since the end of the Second World War we have had growing and closer di lomatic trade and aid commitments with at the countries of the Americas and we are now considered part of that hemispheric network But Canada has come up with new official reason for delayin OAS membership namely the internal isarray and uncertain future of that international organization Mr Trudeau strengthened that view after the Panama Canal treaties signing by suggesting that Latin American leaders are not all agreed on the me and validity of the OAS He also indicated the presidents of Panama Venezuela and Colombia had askcd for greater Canadian role in interAmerican affairs This is the same kind of plea which Latin American leaders havc made in our direction since the 1940s spokesman It has had the Canadian Manufacturers Association which essentially is concerned with big enterprise It has had the Ontario Chamber of Com merce which historically has been catch all of small and medium sized business And then there have been groups such as John Bullochs a$ociation for small busi nesses and large number of industry trade and business associations But there has been no organization which has spoken and spoken with muscle for the private sector MUSCLE NOW It appears that now the Ontario Chamber of Commerce may be in the first stages of moving into this vacuum Over the years the chamber has come in here annually and made presentation This has been pretty well nothing thing lot of generalities presented by people with ob viously very little muscle But the chamber has been going through resurgence Last spring at its annual meeting it had heavyweight speakers and heavyweight au diencc Then few days ago it was here for its an nual presentation And what difference from former years There probably has never been such showing of brass in one group in these buildings The president of Shell Canada was there So was the president of Dow Chemical In fact of the more than 100 men in the delegation everyone was president chair man chief executive officer or senior vice president And the presentation was impressive Fac tual tough and covering broad spectrum 1f the chamber is moving into senior and responsible position this is welcome Our major problems today are economic In planning to meet them industrys voice is needed Also the private sector needs to understand more about government and continuing contact with central group can abet this Canadas story Noted trip to Victoria By BOB BOWMAN One of Canadas most successful governors general was the Marquis of Lorne whose wife was Princess Louise daughter of Queen Victoria The province of Alberta was named for her Alberta was one of her names and so was Lake Louise The Marquis saw great deal of Canada even though the transcontinental railway had not yet been completed In 1881 he crossed the Prairies to Calgary travelling in covered wagon and guided by Indian Chief Pound maker In 1882 he and Princess Louise visited British Columbia which was very unhappy about having become part of Canada delay in building the railway was the cause of the trouble The Marquis and his wife crossed the United States by train to San Francisco and then travelled to Victoria by ship They arrived on Sept 20 and received an amazing welcome The city looked as though it had been trans lanted from Europe with fake castles an battlements put up along the route One circular pcdiment bore sign Loyal Hearts and English Homes The Marquis saw good deal of the island and as much of the mainland as he could in cluding the Cariboo country to Kamloops Princess Louise stayed in Victoria while he was on that trip and enjoyed herself walking along the streets and visiting the shops On one occasion she went behind the coun ter of bake shop to inspect something more closely and was gruffly ordered out by the proprietor who did not know who she was She made herself so popular that Premier Beaven urged that Vancouver Island be made into separate kingdom with Princess Louise as the Queen bible thought That thcy all may bc onc as thou latlicr art in mo and in thcc that they also may bc one in us that thc world may bclicvc that thou hast sent me John 1721
