became involved and few remember just how close ultimate defeat seemed Few remember what we are remembering today The issues leading to those longago primitive wars are not important today The Canada

what we are remembering is that Canada is nation and Canadians have been willing to die to keep Canada nation We should not forget Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Are we really likely to run out of oil in Canada Since this country is almost unique in the extent of its dependence upon petroleum based energybecause of our cold weather and vast distances the question is of vital importance to our survival Yet the answers offered in the public debate tend to be more political than prac tical On one hand are those who never tire of condemning multinational oil monopolies for creating artificial shortages and high prices On the other hand are the reeenterprisers who contend that we would have an abundant supply of oil if only we swept away govern ment regulation of the industry But if you ask an economist such as Prof Russel Uhler of the University of British Columbia whether Canada has adequate reserves of all he will probably reply with another question At what price Prof Uhler is one of several contributors to new report Oil in the Seventies just pub lished by the Vancouverbased Fraser In stitute an independent research organization As Prof Uhler puts it there is limited supply of oil that can be extracted for $8 barrel But if the price were say $100 the supply would be practically unlimited In other words distinction must always be made between the geological stock of oil reserves and the supply that it is economically feasible to exploit at any given time The Athabasca oil sands is an example of

the editor The Examiner Box 370 Barrie Ont AM 4T6 Tax policy behind shortage through combination of price increases and advancement in technology he writes Further technological advancement here which might be all the more likely with the beginning of largescae production could make this vast source indeed Another UBC economist Ernst Berndt believes that the relationship between oil price and demand can be quantified For each litpercent increase in the relative price of energy demand will eventually fall by 45 per cent As the relative price of energy goes Prof Berndt adds labor will tend to be su stituted for energyusing technology If thats the case the continued rise in oil prices could help alleviate unemployment It should be noted however that others would disagree arguing that energy price increases bring slowdown in industrial growth thus contributing to rise in unemployment N0 INCENTIVIJ It is ical of the Trudeau government that it is bpoosting the price of oil twice year but is making sure that the price increases dont act as the incentive they ought to be From about $3 barrel in 1973 the federal government has increased the administered price to the current $1075 with further in creases due every Jan land July The companies that produce the oil have been allowed to retain less than $1 of that in crease Thus their cash return has kept abreast of inflation but they have been given no real financial incentive to discover more oil even though the final consumerthe motorist the homeowneris paying twice as much as in 1973 Two other contributors to the Fraser In stitutes studyProfessors David Quirin and Basil Kalymon of the University of Toron toconclude that current taxation is ex cessive and is unduly depressing the returns on exploration notoriously risky business They believe the oil industry should become selffinancing Unless rates of return after tax without reinvestment gimmicks allow it to do so Canada will become increasingly dependent on foreign sources of supply says the QuirinKalymon study bible thought Thisis faithful saying and worthy of all acceptatlon that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom am chief Timothy 115 It is only as we acknowledge our sins that He saves us Otherwise we are facing the judgement without defense Your whole destiny can be reversed in the next moment by just inviting Jesus into your heart was was Parliament hill By STEWART MaclEOl Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service While the nations Tories arc gushing cn thusiastically about the fact they have sur vived threeday national policy conventior without an bloodletting this docs not ob scure anot fact that the party remairu woefully weak in Quebec When the Conservatives dccidcd more thar year ago to hold this convention in Quebcr City it was with view to demonstrating ncvi grassroots support in the province At that time public opinion polls indicated the Torirs were running far ahead of the Libcrals and officials thought it would be goat idea to IJh By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Canada is the latest democracy to find it self in classic national crisis involving its security and intelligence services How far can they legitimately go in the protection of the state before they interfere with basic freedoms in doing so This is the issue behind the four alleged RC MP activities all defined by the parlia mentary Opposition as illegal which appear to have taken place as long ago as 197273 The four events were the raid on the Mon treal offices of Agence Prcsse Libre du Que bec farleft press agency the removal of membership and fundraising records from the Montreal head office of the Parti Quebecois for police documentation then returned the same day barn burning and stealing dynamite from Montreal con struction company The breakin at the offices of the PQ in Montreal was admitted in Parliament by Solicitor General Francis Fox an amazing revelation from totally tacitum minister But it was clear the PQ now in power in Quebec City had the same information and could soon release it The bambuming and dynamite thefts also allegedly by the RCMP have not been ad mitted to per so by Fox But the admissions and alle ations could not by any means be identifi as the end of trend by the RCMP to step over the bounds of their jurisdiction and to tamper with Canadian law WIIY NO WARRANT The PQ head uarters breakin required at the least searc warrant which the govern ment admitted the police did not seek going so far as to say the incident wasnt illegal because the material was returned Where will it all end Memories of Washington in 197274 as the Watergate affair unfolded slowly but remorselessly are kin dled in Ottawa these days causing worries We we move into Qucbcc with an enthusiastic demonstration Elaborate arrangements were made to en sure that all political knives traditional fcaturc of Tory conventions would not be un sheathcd There would be no formal resolutions on party policy there would bc no disruptive votes and efforts would be made to discouragc nasty election campaigns by various officc scckcrs The whole idea of this convention was to case toward consensus not decisions This part of the strategy probably worked very well But what didnt work was that plan to inject somc Tory enthusiasm into Quebecers They stayed away by the hun Basic issue behind questions that the RCMP could turn out to be as irre sponsible as the CIA or the FBI under its for mer leadership The other issue raised dcfensivel by the prime minister during an monton television interview is the need to maintain surveillance against terrorism and sub version directed against Canadian in stitutions The government despite our close trade and diplomatic relations with Cuba has always been aware of unsavory connections between the Havana government the FLQ and extremists in the Parti Quebccois The year 1973 was good deal closer to the Fth crisis in Montreal in the fall of 1970 than our present point in time Early members of the FLQ and predecessor outfit called the ALQ Quebec Liberation Army allcgcdly responsible for the 1963 bombings in Weslmount mail boxes visited Cuba and apparently took part in guerrilla training schools Lets be frank and admit the PQ did not have the same respectability in power in 1970 77 that it did as an pposition party in the early 19705 which coul win only handful of seats in the Quebec National Assembly It was all too easy then to investigate the whole PQ party paratus as subversive even though its lea er Rene Levesque now Quebecs premier has reiterated man times over the years he is against any kin of ex tremism in the party The same di emma faces all democracies in this kind of open crisis with their national security forces Most people in free societies especially the passive Canadian one simply do not believe there is threat from internal subversion The security forces cannot reveal what they know to rove this Accordingly they can often go too or where democratic freedoms are concerned Has the RCMP reached this point Finding out will produce one of this countrys largest political crises of recent years Tories still weak in Quebec despite surviving convention dreds and some of those who did attend didnt like everything they heard SMALL TURNOUT 0f the 1322 delegates who registeredcon vention orgaanizers had earlier predicted that 2500 would attendonly 166 came from Quebec and large proportion of these were Englishspeaking More than 500 came from Ontario With Claude Wagner ill the part has only one FrenchCanadian MP to atten these na tional conventions And there were times when Roch LaSalle looked rather lonely It also seemed significant that despite the fact the convention was being held in Quebec City there was less French spoken than at previous conventions held in other provinces Even retiring party president Michael Meighen who is fluently bilingual spoke mainly in English And the incoming president Nova Scotia MP Robert Coates cannot speak any French Coatcs who opposed the govemments 0f ficial Languages Act was greeted with some apparent hostility when he met French speaking re rters after his election It will be difficult or him to spearhead the partys rebuilding program in Quebec While all the emphasis was on the display of unity within the party and the fact that fewer titan seven per cent of the delegates voted for leadership review most of the corridor gossip centred on Quebec and the constitution And it was clearly the most gpular subject for the various speakers ginning with Manitoba Premier Sterling Lyon who told Quebecers in effect that the should accept the fact that Englis Canadians dont share their concern about language and culture CONFUSIONS ABOUND But as the constitutional subject developed into specifics it became compounded by con fusions and different delegates came away with surprisingly differentinterpretations Marcel Masse the convention co chairman was delighted that the delegates seemed to support twonation concept of Canada The concept of our two founding nations was recognized unanimously with no hesitation no fancy words and especially with no superfluous compromise But thats not the way Coates viewed it think its the exact opposite he said Union Nationale Party Leader Rodrigue Biron appeared before the convention and strongly urged the delegates to officially recognize the two distinct Canadian nations If you want Quebecers to take you seriously if you want Quebecers to feel at last the have been understood by you you must nish from your vocabulary and from your mind any reference to FrenchCanadians being an ethnic group in Canada But Tory Leader Joe Clark was not ready to give an unqualified embrace to Birons two nation concept However without getting into specifics he said that in the next election he would be offering Quebecers choice bet ween the status quo of Pierre Trudeau and the separatism of Rene Lovesque Its no wonder that some Frenchspeaking delegates were confused over the partys ap proach to constitutional reform But then there werent that many in attendance nonlnsertion of any advertisement beyond the amount paid for such advertisement Canada story 60000 dead in Great War By BOB BOWMAN The First World War ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 It had been four years of massacre The Allies chiefly Russia France and the British Com monwealth had more than 5000000 men killed and nearly 13000000 wounded The US was not involved until 1917 and had 126000 killed The Central powers chiefly Germany Austria and Hungary had 3400000 men killed and 8400000 wounded Canadas contribution was tremendous for nation of about 10000000 people More than 400000 men went overseas and casualties were nearly 219000 including 60000 killed The Second World War lasted almost exac tly six years from the declaration of war against Germany in September 1939 to the surrender of Japan in September 1945 However Japan and China were fighting in 1937 and China had more than 2Xl0000 killed so it is difficult to compare the First World War and the Second World War cas ualties Furthermore civilian losses were heavy in the Second World War owing to bom ailng which was not factor in the First World ar In all it is estimated that more than 20000000 people were killed in the Second World War and many more injured Military casualties included USSR 7500000 killed Germany 2850000 China 2200000 Japan 1500000 British Commonwealth 545COO US 292000 Canadas

McKERCHER WASHINGTON CP President Carters decision to postpone ninecountry trip scheduled for late this month indicatss how deeply he has been disturbed by Congresss treatment of his energy program He had hoped that committee of senators and members of the House of Represen tatives would reach compromie on energy legislation in time for him to set out on his trip Nov22 But with conference work on the package expected to continue at least until mid December and perhaps into next year he ap parently feels he cannot afford to leave the US now Instead he plans to redouble efforts for ap proval of the controversial energy measures starting with an appeal for public support to be made in his first televised speech to the country in sixmonths The major uestion about Carters decision to postpone trip until some unspecified future date however is what he will be able to accomplish by staying home APPROVE ONE TAX Only one of the energy taxes he proposed in his original energy package has been ap proved by both the House and Senate in sslightly different forms But neither version of the proposed tax on industrial use of natural gas and oil is as tough as that sup ported by the president Other major parts of the program in cluding raising crude oil taxes maintainin ceiling on natural gas pricm forcing utilities to change their rate structures and imposing gasoline tax if consumption conttinues to in crease rapidly have been mangled by either or both houses on their way through Congress Carter apparently hopes to exert pressure on members of conference coomittee to ap prove most of the measures but whatever compromises are reached likely will be less stringent titan the prsident proposed leavi him with the choice of approving wate down version of his program or of vetoing the bill Congress eventually sends to him In any event he is unlikely to get the energy program he wants SHOWS COMMITMENT What staying home does do for the president however is to demonstrate his prior commitment to solving the domestic problems of the US That commitment had been questioned recently by disillusioned groups of Carter supporters who charged that the president reneged on campaign promises to combat unemployment change the welfare system and promote speedy improvements in the econom But the lastminute change of heart is diplomatically embarrassing for the president and raises some questions about the managerial capabilities of bus ad ministration In discussing the tri to Venezuela Brazil France Ni eria Sau Arabiaflran India Poland Belgijm with reporters the presidents national security adviser ZBigniew Brzezinski termed it part of systematic effort to give America foreign policy wider focus to engage it morewith the emerging powjrs in the world and part of an eventual goal of renovating the In ternationals tern Although postponement does not mean Carter has turned away from those goals the wisdom of promoting the trip grandly then cancelling it few weeks later my be questioned ca
