She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Saturday, September 24, 1960 Big Difference Between Soviet Theory, Practice It is a curious fact that the success of many political theories should be due to lack of knowledge concerning the basic points. Propaganda can have the effect of making people believe in things which are not true or do not exist. Under the constant repetition of slogans, the minds of men begin to falter and they accept as fact what the opinion-makers force upon them. What starts in all honesty as theory can become something far different in practice, the harsh reality being softened or excused by the skill ful use of the theory as justification, The theory of Marxism, for example, is based on establishment of an egali- tarian society, But a glance at life in the Soviet Union and the satellite states makes it clear that class distinctions are far from having been abolished. The Communist principle of perfect equality among men has now become a myth, suitable only for export to woolly-minded sympathizers in the free world. The truth is that a new privileged class as sprung up in all countries under a Com- munist regime. In order to belong to this class, it is necessary to be a faithful party member, During the early days of the Russian revolution it was laid down that no skilled worker of meniber of the gov- ernment might receive a wage higher than double that of an unskilled worker, The rule did not provide enough in centive, and was progressively ignored, until in 1931 Stalin finally put an end what he called "equalitarianism," Thus the new social elite was given 'official permission to take full advan- tage of the situation, The bureaucratic upper class of the Soviet Union not only receives higher wages than the ordinary worker, but is much better treated by the social in- surance legislation, Communism prefers to help those who play an active part in maintaining the regime rather than to Western Identities A study of the three mid-western Canadian provinces suggests that each is assuming an increasingly distinct identity and that the lines along which they are developing are tending more and more to diverge, The study, made by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, is reported on in the bank's current com- mercial letter, It is a misnomer to call Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta the "prairie provinces", as if they were not only confined to the limited area which may accurately be described as prairie but also were identical in physical charac- teristics the letter states. While the three are not dissimilar in total area, only about ten per cent of Manitoba, a third of Saskatchewan and a quarter of Alberta are arable prairie. The Canadian Shield covers most of Manitoba and the north- ern third of Saskatchewan, while most of Alberta and a substantial part of Saskatchewan are underlain by a wide band of oil-bearing strata. The pattern of the future is now taking shape, the bank believes, It sug- gests that Manitoba's agricultural ine dustry will become increasingly diversi« fied, and less dependent on the export market. There should be steady growth of the already well established distribu. tive trade and further development of a mixed but on the whole light industrial complex.

Thus the widow of a worker receives a pension corresponding to what the husband earned only if she has two dependent children, but the widow of a high-rank. ing government official, a member of the armed forces, a star actor and the like, receives a lump sum, a pension for here self and one for each child under age in proportion to her social position, The trade unions cannot do anything about this, because they are controlled by the state, and wages, working conditions, holidays and such matters are fixed by higher authority, The only task allotted to trade union leaders is to carry out the plans for higher productivity, The social situation in Bulgaria after 15 years of Communist rule provides text-book example of how far Marxist practice has deviated from theory, It is estimated that the new elite there enjoy a standart of living at least ten times higher than that of the average Bul. garian, Here again the advantages do not consist only of better wages but of many other facilities ~~ bonus schemes, special food stores, cars, housing and so on, In fact, most of the help and comfort provided by the state goes to party functionaries; and since price re« ductions usually apply only to luxury goods, they do not affect the ordinary worker, whose basic living expenses always remain high. The two most modern hospitals in Sofia are run exclusively for the active supporters of the regime, The system of selections for entry to high schools and universities is based on political discrimination, Communism has brought about fun. damental social changes, but it has failed to create a classless society or a real workers' state, facts which cannot fail to be noticed -- however reluctantly -- even by well-wishers abroad. industry, may in years to come make a contribution comparable to that which the eastern arm of the Shield has al- ready made to Ontario and Quebec, The lines are less clearly drawn in Saskatchewan, but owing to its much larger arable area and more specialized agriculture it seems likely that the pro- vince's grain crop will continue to set the pace for cereal production in the West, The influence of its oil and gas resources, however, are likely to round out an economy which previously was vulnerable to crop and market condi. tions. As much of its recent new capital investment has been attracted by oil and gas, future investment seems likely to tend towards more capital goods, As in Manitoba, expansion of its mining industry within the Canadian Shield seems inevitable, Alberta has taken a major boom in its stride, and if oil, the source of that boom, has hit a slower period, the: by- product activities are taking up some of the slack. The increase in population has also created new demand, not only at the retail level but in the light in. dustries catering to consumer needs, a factor which seems likely to bring about diversity in agriculture, Alberta's eco- nomic health is not wholly tied to the exporting of oil and natural gas but may be expected to rest on a manufacturing complex of industries which either use oil and gas as a raw material or which require a cheap and abundant source of energy, The tar sands, of course, re- main a riddle in any estimate of the province's future, Bible Thought There is therefore now no condem- nation for these who are in Christ Jesus, ~-Romans 8:1, Our sin has been against God, and so only He can forgive, When He does, our guilt is gone forever.

God wants us to dove Him in our heart 'YOU SHOULDN'T LOOK LIKE BELGIANS' U.K. OPINION Government Facing Hot Criticism On Housing By M, McINTYRE HOOD Specinl London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON ~ Increases in rents and the housing situation general ly will form the basis of the main attack on the government by the Labor opposition when parlia- ment resumes its sessions, This was made apparent when a party of Labor MP's, after an abortive interview with Henry Brooke, Minister of Housing, declared open war on the minister and the government on this hot sub- Jeet sor 90 minutes the minister and the Laborites argued over the large increases in rents, par- ticularly in the Central London area, under the provisions of the Rents Act, They asked the minis- ter to amend the Rents Act to cope with the situation, They ask- ed him to freeze rents for an- other two years, He gave a nega- tive reply to both propositions, The view of the minister was that the norma! law of supply and demand must take its course, He did not deny that there was a problem in certain paris of Lon. don, but inferred that some hard. ship was inevitable, He said in effect that many people had had too cheap rents for too long. This attitude aroused the ire of the Labor MP's, who promise an all-out campaign against the min. ister in the House, with the full blessing of their leader, Hugh Gaitskell, SQUEEZE TO CONTINUE Another cabinet minister gave a Labor delegation a decided brush-off when it approached him for remedial action, He was Sel- wyn Lloyd, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, who told leaders of the Trades Union Congress that the credit squeeze imposed by his predecessor in office would have to be continued, He said restric. tions could not be eased until Britain earned more money from exports, In fact, Mr, Lloyd hinted at even stricter measures to re. strain home buying if the present trend of flagging exports and ris- ing imports continued, That, he warned the TUC chiefs, would in. evitably lead to a balance of pay- ments crisis, The new Chancellor made no bones about his stand when he spoke to the delegation, He left no doubt that he will be just as tough as was Heathcoat Amory in taking drastic steps to prevent a return to inflation, Mr, Lloyd said: "World trade is expanding and unless Britain's exports ex- pand correspondingly, we may as well shut up shop," CUT HEALTH SPENDING The share of the government health service costs paid out of general taxation Is going to be slashed, Enoch Powell, the new minister of health, who left tne government in 1958 because he wanted greater economies at Whitehall, is determined to check the rising costs of the service to the taxpayer. This is in line with the idea that Prime Minister Macmillan brought him into the cabinet with a clear mandate to halt the soaring costs' of the health service. There are various measures which Mr, Powell is expected to take. It is likely that the weekly con- tributions for all workers will be raised to provide more direct reve enue for the service, Suggestion is that the levy will go up from two shillings and fodypence a week to three shillings, with the worker paying a greater propor tion than at present, TO HIT AT DRUGS Spending on expensive drugs, which now cost the treasury £33, 000,000 a year, will be curbed, Mr. Powell proposes to get tough with' the manufacturers over the prices they now charge the gov- ernment, The present price-fixing scheme expires in December, It is due for a rigorous overhaul, Olher proposals vaguely hinted at are that the government may increase the charge of one shil- ling now made for prescriptions, and that patients financially able to do so will be required to pay part of their food and main. tenance in hospitals, Both of these would cause a hig storm in parliament and are only likely to be adopted as a last re- sort, There is some good news ahead however, for old age per It is in the wind that within the next two months the governm will announce increases in age pensions Ihe higher pa ments may not take effect ontit early next year, It is expected that the first official announce- ment of the higher allowances (or the old folks will be made in the Queen's speech at the opening of parliament on November 1, The one point which is uncer- tain is the amount of the increase, Some political obzervers believe that the government will add 10 shillings a week to the present rate of 50 shillings, This was the GALLUP POLL loners old figure which the Labor party promised the electors in last year's election campaign, There is a possibility, however, that the increase may be somewhat less than the amount, probably in the neighborhood of six shillings a week, The public are going to have to pay more for their coal during the coming winter: For the first time in three years, the National Coal Board has decided to in~ crease pithead prices for house- hold coal by 10 shillings a ton, I'he Increase will of course be passed on to the consumers by the coal dealers, and at the same time, gas and electricity charges, alfected by coal prices, are like. ly to go up as well, Prices of coal for gas and electricity plants are up by 86 and 5-1 a ton re- spectively, Awards of higher wages, re- ductions in working hours per week, and increases in the costs of mining materials are cited by the board as the reason for hiking the price of coal at the pithead, Canadian Prelerence Indicated For Kennedy By Canadian Institute of Public Opinion As they watch the U.S, election campaign, outcome of 'which can not help but affect this country's future, Canadians tend to favor Senator Kennedy because of the impact of his personality, Four in ten Canadians say they hope Kennedy wins; half the reasons given for choosing him have to do with personal characteristics On the other hand the 26 per cent who would rather see Vice- President Nixon in the White House, do so mainly because of his experience Those who favor Mr. Kennedy do so because, as an Ontario mechanic put it, "He's a young man and the country needs PERSONAL APPEAL young Ideas," Said another: "He's one of the smartest men of his generation -- and he should have a chance to prove jt." One admirer of Mr, Nixon names him "Another Churchill," In Manitoba, a farmer believes: "Mr, Nixon has a better grasp of the seriousness of the situa. tion." Key-note for a solid seg. ment of opinion lies in the com. ment: "Nixon is better acquaint. ed with the world situation," In a previous report the Gallup Poll revealed that Canadians, on the whole, preferred Mr, Ken. nedy: Interviewers asked each camp reasons for their prefer. ences, Here on a factual basis is why 40 per cent would like the Senator to win next November, OTTAWA REPORT Foreign Magazine Problem Explored By DON O'HEARN The dumping into Canada of so- called "Canadian editions" of for- eign magazines has developed in such a serious economic and cul tural threat { that Prime Minister John Dief: religion, education, medicine, mu- sie, television, science, show busi- ness, and books, readers must presume that pothing in these felts was happening in Canada, i Spain and lesser has a royal commission ry review this situation, The commission can be expected to make recommenda. tions on plugging the loopholes through which these dumped magazines circumvent both the economic and cultural policies of successive Canadian govern ments, The former Liberal administra- tion attempted to halt this in- vasion by imposing an adver- tising tax, which the Conserva- tive government repealed, deem- ing it bad and ineffective, But Mr, Diefenbaker has not yet for- mulated a more acceptable cor- rective, In principle the complaints sgainst these foreign magazines, scantily camouflaged behind a Maple Leaf, are that they drain profits away from Canadian mag- azines and out of Canada; in at least some cases they add to the tax burden of Canadians by avoid- ing Canadian corporation income tax; they deprive Canadian wri- ters and printers of jobs; and flout Canadian government pol- icy, UNFAIR ECONOMIC GAINS In general, they damage the Canadian economy by dumping here a mill-end product, They can afford to sell it here at a price which no Canadian producer can ma ch, because its cost has al- ready been recovered in great part by sales in its native coun- try, The sale in Canada of a "Canadian edition" of a foreign magazine is in many cases di- rectly comparable to the dump- ing of mill-end runs of textiles against which vigorous action has been taken by Liberal and Con- servative governments, It is not far-fetched to argue that our government policy of in. sisting on a minimum of 55 per cent "Canadian content" in our broadcast fare should he matched in the printed examples of mass communication, especially when such examples are carried at a cost to the Canadian taxpayer by our national government - oper ated delivery service, A comparison of the foreign and Canadian editions of a recent issue of a weekly magazine called Time shows that both carried 48 identical pages of news and com- ments, This constituted the entire editorial content of the U.S, edi- tion, and was written chiefly about U.S, affairs and almost wholly for U.8, readers, NOTHING CANADIAN There was no mention at all of Canada in the section headed "The Hemisphere", where we occasionally figure briefly, pers haps dwarfed by Cuba and el- bowing the Banana Republics for space, In the sections devoted to art, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM People who complain if the preacher doesn't end his morn. ing sermon at 12 noon on the dot must he more eager to get home to dinner than to learn how to get to heaven, It is wondered If the appre- hended Los Angeles bookie named Socrates took his arrest philsophically, A lot of sympathy has been expressed for the centipede with corns and the giraffe with a sore throat, but did anyone ever sym- pathize with the woodpecker with chronie headache? Ye merited mention, Most surprising of all is that four pages devoted to "Business" contained no mention of the best export customer and largest sup- plier of US, business, The Canadian edition consisted of all this, fronted by four pages of news of Canada which not apnear in whole or in part in the native edition, There was also added a letter to the editor from a Canadian MP, which was pre- sumably considered of no inter- est to U.S, readers since it re- ferred to an item carried in a previous "Canadian edition" only. Yet one might expect U.S, read- ers to be interesetd in comments from such a responsible source as J. C, Van Horne, MP, frankly and factually critical of the magazine as they were, The major difference between the two editions of course lay in the fact that the "Canadian edi- tion" carried more than 20 pages of advertising by Canadian busi- nesses, More than 92 per cent of the editorial cohtent was compiled chiefly for, and no doubt pre- dominantly paid for by, US, readers, It was then sold in Can- ada for as little as less than eight cents a copy, despite the adver. tised 25-cent newsstand price, It has often been argued that this constitutes dumping and unfair competition with Canadian busi- ness. The royal commission will now make the first official probe of the subject, BY-GONE DAYS # YEARS AGO F. 8.
