TERRACE BAY NEWS Page 13 by Ray Argyle In the lull between last week's federal-provincial confer- ence of finance ministers and the upcoming reopening of Par- liament, Canadians could find few signs that any real steps had yet been taken to combat inflation. The country prepared for Oc- tober's "baby budget" from Fi- nance Minister Mitchell Sharp with an understandably jaun- diced eye. Because despite the Finance Minister's assurance in the House of Commons. that "Canada will not drift into... continually rising prices and costs," the nation continued to do just that. The initial shock of Mr. Sharp's anti-inflation measures -- announced just as the House of Commons was about to rise from emergency session on the railway strike -- was as short- lived as the effectiveness of the - measures themselves. Unless the Finance Minister fashions a powerful dose of austerity in the next three weeks, it is now probable that prices will continue to spiral for at least the rest of this year. In fact, after careful assess- ment by economists and _ busi- nessmen, there was considerable suspicion that present govern- ment policy is dictated more by the strategies of the power struggle now going on to suc- ceed Prime Minister Pearson. The spectacle of the cabinet, in Mr. Pearson's absence, decid- ing to postpone introduction of medicare for another year raised the question of whether the Prime Minister was any longer in real control of his ad- ministration. Of the main contenders to succeed the PM, Mitchell Sharp's "one-upmanship" might have gained him temporary as- cendancy. Clearly, the other cabinet right wingers such as Defense Minister Paul Hellyer and Trade Minister Robert Win- ters were backing Sharp at this point in his struggle against Walter Gordon and Health Min- ister Allan MacEachen. How long the coalition can hang together is questionable, because most Liberal back- benchers -- angered at the cabi- net's jettisoning of medicare without taking the matter to the party caucus -- are far from united behind Sharp's policies. If October's baby budget lives up to advance billing, it is un- likely to produce any real anti- inflationary policies. In fact the Finance Minister has already dismissed measures which would do much more to combat inflation than anything he has so far proposed. Chief of these is medicare. The reasons Mr. Sharp gave for delaying medicare (a Liberal party promise which goes all the way back to 1919), were that the country could not afford it, and that it would be inflationary. Rather than being inflationa- ry, medicare would have exactly the opposite result. While Cana- dians individually already spend a great deal of money on health care, it cannot be denied that universal medicare would in- crease our expenditures in this field. As tax increases are generally regarded as the only effective antidote to an over-heated econ- omy, why then would a medi- care program -- which would drain off spending on consumer goods and channel monies into medical research, hospital ex- pansion and doctor's services -- be inflationary? By proposing instead to raise taxes in order to increase pen- sions to a minimum of $105 monthly and to give raises to the armed forces, Mr. Sharp is merely assuring that money which would be spent by one group of taxpayers is trans- ferred to another group of tax- payers, which will then spend it even more quickly. In all of the discussion of ris- ing prices and the emphasis on wage hikes as a primary cause the two fundamental sources of our present inflationary cycle have been overlooked. The major cause is the steadi- ly mounting military expendi- ture of the United States. This spending -- $50 billion a year; one half of the entire U.S. budg- et -- has infected every phase | of the North American econo- my. Unlike the Korean war, | which bailed North America out of a recession the Vietnam con- flict came at the end of several years of mounting prosperity. The second main cause of in- creased prices has been the need of business firms to pass on to consumers not just the ac- tual increases in costs of labor and material, but these costs PLUS an extra margin to ensure that profit percentages do not decline.
