Thomson News Service The second anniversary of the start of Canadas antiinflation program finds the economy sinking deeper into trouble Inflation is up another notch to an annual rate of 84 per cent 24 percentage points or 40 per cent higher than the governments stated 1977 goal unemployment has gone up another step toa post1940 high of 83 per cent and the Canadian dollar has weakened to its lowst value since 1950about 917 cents Almost the only comfort that Canadian can find in this sorry mess is the certainty that inflation would by now have reached British and Italian levels of more than 20 cent if it had not been for the restraints at the prime minister imposed two years ago Against that however must be set another certainty The Trudeau government has scandalously wasted the opportunity that the controls period offered to set the economy back on its feet PLAYING POLITICS instead the antiinfiation restraints openly pandcred to powerful labor groups by guar anteeing inflationplus wage increases Thats ine for some workers but it has spelled unemployment for others in in dustries that cant automatically pass their cost increases along to their customers At the same

Equipment which might provide badly need jobs has ceased to grow Meanwhile the government has simply thrown awaya parcntly through in tertiathe breat mg spe in which it promised it would try to correct the struc tural or fundamental faults in our economic framework such as excessive government spending WEAK DOLLAR Pierre Trudeau despite his lively interest in the theories of Mao Tsetung often appears bored with the problems of applied economics in Canada One of his favorite rhetorical de vices in res riding to criticism is to throw the res nsrbiiity for economic difficulties back to is critics and the public at large The value of the Canadian dollar is the one undeniable assessment of the health of the economy its plunge in the st two years from premium of about rec cents to discount of more than eight cents against the US dollar itself declining sharply against the currencies of Germany Switzerland and Japan speaks louder than any politicians words And it cant be brushed off as foolish panic reaction by Americans or Europeans who cant even spell Canada For the first time since before the Second World War more Canadian capital is being invested abroad than foreign capital invested herewhich shows how worried some Canadians are about their own countrys eco nomic future N0 STIMULUS The federal budget of March 31 aroused some hope that the government would correct the excesses of the recent past and try to stimulate the market economy After more than six months however such stimuli as the rsonai incometax reduc tion havent ha much effectand for typical reason The budget still hasnt been ggssed into law so many computers haven on programmed to give tax cuts Rather being stimulated the economy is dragged deeper into inflation and unem ployment And rather than spending more money the employedii out of every 12 people in the labor forcelook around realize what could happen to them and save for rainy day Parliament hill By STEWART MaclEl Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service When you think of Rene Levesques major campaign promise of last NovemberVito make major improvements in lowincome and senior citizen housingits difficult to define his logic for boycotting last weeks municipal conference in Quebec City His reasons were clear enough He said he and three of his ministers would not attend the Quebec Union of Municipalities con ference because Andre Ouellet the federal minister of urban affairs had been invited to speak there And said Levesque the federal government has absolutely no jurisdiction in municipal affairs Until further notice we work by the con stitution here the premier announced He also announced that he would soon produce black book showing various federal in By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The lessthansucccssfultrade mission of Ontarios Premier William Davis to Japan raises again the question of whether Canada could ever copy the immensely successful Japanese mechanism called the trading com pany Among the industrial democracies of the world the Japanese use the trading company with more clout and shear success in foreign trade than anyone else They do exist in nonfree market economies like the Communist Chinese and that of the USSR where they are called state trading corporations But it is the Japanese tradin company built into an open economy whic the Davis mission faced in their pitch for more Japanese investment in Ontario take Mitsui Trading Company whose president laid down the aw to Mr Davis and company It is compl union of integrated com anies in petroc emicals consumer goodg has its own bank called theMitsui Bank which funds the various companies which in turn use the groups own trading company to help market and export the goods of that group Mam ww WMM mgwrm trusions into the municipal field So the 1000 delegates to the convention had to concentrate on the Ouellet speech And from all reports they concentrated very well indeed as the minister who also happens to be the chief federal Liberal organizer in the province told them how the Quebec govern ment is depriving provincial municipalities of some $500 million being offered by Ottawa There was no one from the Parti Quebecois at the conference to argue with the federal minister Before getting standing ovation Ouellet carefully explained that municipal affairs are provincial responsibility but that low income housing and recomtruction programs fall under shared jurisdiction and Ottawa has made huge sums of money available for these purposes For reasons dont know the PQ is preventing you from getting that money which is your due he said Japanese critics raise old question Ja anese banks have traditionally been muc heavier lenders than Canadian banks would dare to be or federal government would permit them to be under our Bank Act DEBT ALLOWED During the late 19505 and earl 19605 when the postwar economy of Japan irst took off dentequity ratios in that countrys economy reached horrendous 7030 within the big banks of the huge trading groups The postwar Japanese trading com ny emerged almost painlessly from the uge family corporate trusts of im rial Japan the socalled zaibatsu pe Man of these were headed by princes of the ol imperial system and were far less com titive than today since much of their ma et was meant to be within the expanding conquered territories of the prewar empire For example the zaibatsu were forced to in vest in non oductive regions like the newly conquered anchoria during the late 1930s But in the ostwar era with economic autarchy and milita one from Ja an the basic development of the in em trading company executives were free to fun ction wherever Japan could seek markets TbldmmZuN Ouellet wins round over PQ at conference in Quebec City CHARGES CENSORSHIP As cheers echoed through the hall the 38 yearold minister congratulated the mayors for standing up to the provincial government which tried to censure your freedom of speech This is certainly not the kind of place where constitutional problems should be solved he told them Thats for federal rovincial ministers and premiers con erences am sorry that certain parties are having little constitutional tantrum on the backs of Quebecs mayors and councillors He then ve breakdown of the federal money available for the province and still unused It includes Sillmillion for public housing $57million for nonprofit housin cor porations $895million for municipa in rastructures and $382million for land mergers Thats the kind of money that municipalities would like to grasp But it has to be funnelled through the provincial govern ments and if the Parti Quebecois govem ment doesnt want to handle the stuff it will never reach its intended destination DIPLOMATIC INCIDENT As Ouellet was busy talking about the unused federal money Levesque was telling news conference that the executive of the union of municipalities committed diplomatic error in inviting Ouellet to at the convention Furthermore added Quebec premier he was given only three weeks notice that the federa minister would attend Now isnt that big deal Here we have the remier of Quebec complainin that dip omatic error was committ because fellow Quebecer was invited to share plat form with him And all because that fellow Quebecer happens to hold portfolio which the premier believes sould not exist His reasoning as said is clear enough But But dont catch the logic of boycotting conventionwhich scents at least to be rather childish gesturewhen the federal minister in question is loaded with so much powerful propaganda material Surely Levesque and his ministers would have been better off on the platform defending their governments position with the mayors have never seen any overwhelmin evidence that those in need of improv housing are particularly concerned about constitutional niceties nor do they pass every eveni discussing the source of sub sidies And it also generally recognized that municipal politicians are closer to the people than either their provincial or federal coun terparts So all things considered think Levesque blew it this time MTG officers also had By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Developments may be for cing the government toward some arbitrary action During the last few years the problem of liquid industrial waste has been mentioned here once or twice The problem is that there are millions of gallons of industrial waste that must be disposed of in the province every year These are wastes that are highly pollutant and that if not handled with care can be threat to water supplies Until now we have largely handled these wastes by dumping them in regular landfill garbage sites or in deep wells But two things have happened can currently One is that existing disposal sites will be filled soon The second is that in communities where there are potential new deep wells available the local people have become greatly alar med and are staunchly opposing the use of the wells GAME OVER The governments position is that the situation is now at point of crisis and it must do something Metropolitan Toronto has at this point rejected request to keep its only suitable garbage site open past Dec 31 The only deep well being used is nearly filled and other alternative wells are being held back by local objection Yet those millions of gallons must be dum ped somewhere and carefully TELL WHO The government has held back from using force But it would seem that eventually it may have to if so it will have two choices gge is to order certain areas to be disposal sr As of now garbage disposal sites are municipal matter To do this the province would have to override the municipalitiesa repugnant thought politically The second choice is to order the waste bur There is company Tricil Waste Management Ltd with plants at Sarnia and Mississauga near Toronto that burrs liquid wastes But the burning costs money It can cost the industry creating the waste up to 15 cents gallon plus cartage to get it The govemmcnt was participant in get ting these plants started And perhaps using them is the logical way to get rid of the waste But who wants to tell industry to increase its costs The only thing worse would be to tell municipality garbage site was being placed in its limits Canada story Dont blame Burgoyne By non BOWMAN During the American Revolutionary War strong force from Canada led by Gen Jack Burgoyne invaded the US but suffered disastrous defeat at Saratoga on Oct 17 1777 France then decided to enter the war and sent strong army and navy to help the Ameri cans The defeat could not be blamed on Burgoyne He led his army from Quebec to the Hudson River and captured Ticonderoga on the way Another British army was sup wed to have joined him at the Hudson iver but it did not show up as it had been diverted to attack Philadelphia Consequently Burgoyne was surrounded by an American army and had to surrender with 6000 men The invasion from Canada had one amusing aspect Many of the troops were German mercenaries and they loved an imals While they were training near Quebec they went into the woods and caught young bears racoons and also some birds including eagles They tamed the animals and birds an the pets accompanied the soldiers on the la marches through the woods petsattractive women They rode in carriages which also carried ample supplies of wines and other delicasies No don they were heartily cur sed by the soldiers who often had to build bridges and cut roads through the woods for them The poor soldiers carried packs weighing 60 pounds and wore long blue or scarlet coats waistcoats tight breaches and highbuttoned gaiters The temperature in the woods was of ten more than 27 degrees Celsius so they really suffered at times OTHER OCT 17 EVENTS twoBritish engineers began demoliton of Fort Louisbourg NS notCapt George Vancouver sailed from
