The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St, E,, Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Tuesday, Movember 8, 1960 Less Ottawa Spending Not Heavier Tax Load Premier Frost has made it quite clear that if the province cannot ar- range 8 better tax deal with the fed- ers} government, a sales tax will probably be imposed in Ontario, The provincial government faces heavy expenditures; it could borrow, since its net capital debt is lower per capita now than it was twenty years ago, but as Mr, Frost says, "we cannot continue to keep expanding debt == interest rates alone would kill us" But a sales tax would be only an- other addition to the cost of doing business in Ontario, and what we need now is something to spur busi. ness not deter it, Ontario is justified in its de. mands on the federal government, Under present tax-sharing arrange. ments it is not only supply the fed- eral government with a very large part of the money spent by Ottawa but is in effect subsidizing the other provinces as well, Equalization of re- turns to provinces is a good principle, but Ontario is being milked, The answer for Ontario and the rest of the country is not the impo- sition of more taxes, There is con- siderable evidence that the total tax burden is already too great, In ten years the number of people paying personal income tax has doubled -- but the amount they pay has tripled, In the same time there has been a one-third increase in the number of taxable corporation incomes == but the amount paid has doubled, All of this money comes from the taxpays er's pocket, either directly or indie rectly, along with sll the other levies, The taxes have inflated the cost of living, the cost of doing business in Canada and the cost of the goods we want to export, If it is true, as so many economists insist, that we are pricing ourselves out of both domestic and foreign markets, then taxes must bear a good deal of the blame because they contribute in a substantial way to our costs, The answer is not more taxes, but more economy particularly by the federal government, One of our con temporaries points out that we have thrown away the equivalent of On» tario's capital debt each year on de. fence expenditures, In the past ten years Ottawe's spending on defence has quadrupled --- but we certainly do not have four times as much de- fence in 1960 as we had in 1950, Is all this defence spending necessary for a small power, which Canada is? We doubt it, And there are other areas in which substantial amounts of money could be saved, Indeed, the Conservatives, opposition, were very vociferous on that point, Excuse For Failure Controversial economist John Kenneth Galbraith has produced the "wordfact" to describe the new polit feal technique of rationalization of failure, In an article in the Atlantic, he describes wordfact as the process of making words a precise substitute for reality, It means that to say that something exists is a substitute for its existence, and to say that some- thing will happen is as good as hav- ing it happen, Galbraith recalls that Washings ton made no effort to picture his de« feats In 1776 as important gains for the Continental Army, no more than did Lincoln after the debacle at First Manassas, Wilson did not claim a victory for his League of Nations proposals because a majority of the U8, Senate voted for them --- hut not the two-thirds majority require ed, Things writes: "In June of 1960, President. Eisen- hower returned from a trip to the Pacific which would seem, superfici- ally, to have been. an unparalleled disaster of ita kind, Japan, which was the principal object of his tour, are different now, He had heen beset by violent riots over the visit, and in the end it had been forced to urge him not to come, With the aid of his press secretary, hows ever, the president was able to report on his return that the trip had been a success, A small number of Com» munists, acting under outside orders, had made things a trifle sour in Japan, but that was because they knew how powerful was the impres« slon Mr, Elsenhower made on his trips to other lands, and they deters mined, as a result, that no such ime pression would be made on Japan, "This was not the first time this kind of thing had happened, Two years earlier, Communists in South America had been forced to take sims ilar preventive action because of the overwhelming appeal of Mr, Nixe« on to the Latin populace," Galbraith's recommendation: "Elaborate rationalization of fail ure should not be met by hored sil ence or even hy a fishy stare, They should be greeted by loud and vulgar laughter, followed immediately by equally uncouth speeches and letters and, if nothing else is possible, by seribbling on walls," Exporting Revolution The danger of Castro's Cuba is not that it is 90 miles off the United States coast but that it is 400 miles off the Guatemalan coast and 650 miles off the Venezuelan coast, the Christian Science Monitor argues, The Monitor presents its case thus: While the candidates continued to debate whether Washington should use economic embargo or support for the Cuban, underground as its chief anti-Castro weapon, two events oc» The Oshawa Times T.

In addition there is the evidence of massive dissemination of prorevolus tionary propaganda from Havana to other Latin American nations, And the disturbing build-up of arms, ex» tending "the inherited stockpile of Batista weapons far beyond the needs of even the most touchy defense program, These activitiea have begun to crowd out the reform plans under- taken in the promising early duys of Dr, Castro's regime, The extremist Jacobina have pretty well blotted out the liberal reformers, Therefore the most immediately needed policy is a joint one in which the threatened Latin American nae tions can move together not to hit at Cuba but to prevent Cuba from smuggling arms men, and propas ganda to the maialand to hit at them. when they were in, - sonal, INSIDE YOU Migraine Answer Still Is Sought » wn BURTON HW, VERN, MD nding & bass Pugin with & dots hammer in- The heart side your Black streak between ra flashes in front of your eyes Migraine has struck again!

That perennial worry, the eco- nomie viability of our two great railroads, was being studied hy the MacPherson Royal Commis. slon on Transportation, Greater urgency was given to those hear. ings by the threat of a strike hy the non<operating railway work. ers, which would tie up all rail transportation across Canada The prime minister's confer. ence on productivity and em ployment attracted the represents atives of some two dozen asso ciations and Industries, who of fered thelr recommendations for increasing employ ment, This study group was rated an aus picious beginning of full cooperas tion between government and in. dustry and labor, YOUR TAXES AT STAKE Later came the Dominions Provinelal fiscal conference, at which the prime minister neatly | economists deed is promised to he, the most dynamic session of our present Parliament, Vivid and Imaginative steps are expected to be put forward . by the Diefenhaker government, aimed at helping the ereation of ! more jobs for Canadian workers, Our most fearless bankers and have been persist: | ently pounding at the theme that, dumped that political hot potatoe high and rising taxes--hack into the laps of the provinelal governments, They have der manded a 256 per cent increase in the total tax burden carried by you and me, Okay, retorted Mr, Diefenbmker in effect, you want the extra money so you collect it Canada's 11 first ministers then continued in session to review the problem of creating more jobs, At the same time, two further enquiries were in thelr early stages, The Bladen Royal Com. mission on the automobile Indus. try held open hearings here, briefs being submitted by many interested hodies such as the Big Three manufacturers and the auto union, And the Royal Com. mission on Magazines, prepars ing to open public hearings next month, was so deluged by core respondence that it has already used up more than one-quarter of its postage budget, Thus the. stage is heing set here for the opening on Nov, 17 of what promises to be, and ine QUEEN'S PARK Public Affairs Piety Preached By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Plety is hecoming a bit of a political passion these days, The platforms, municipal and provineial, provided by service clubs, associations and others de siring to be Informed about pub. lie affairs are turning into pulpits, Our politiclans are becoming preachers, and with a vengeance Which Suggests they have never heard about "casting the first stone," CCF CRUSADER Leading the parade as usual, of course, 18 Mr, Donald MacDonald evangelist born and crusader deds feated Mr, MacDonald is concerned as are other people, though not quite so shrilly--with the state of morality In public affairs, And he preaches three "basie principles of public life which must be lived up to, 1, Regard for law, 2, Abstention from voting on issues in which there I§ a per private interest, 4, Prohibition of elected repre. sentatives doing business with the government, MOST IMPORTANT There are two points of eritl clsm of this laudable program presented by Mr, MacDonald, The first is the reason he glves for offering it: This is to lift the "cloud of suspleion' fram those who aes cept the burden and sacrifice of publie office, The reputation of those taking pan Is quite a secondary reason or having honesty in publie life, HONEST STATEMENT? The second point is that the CCF leader limits himself to mors ality on a cash-and-carry basis, Once again this important, but once again, surdly there are deeper moralities than money, Honesty of statement, for in. stance, Statements such as this: "The Liberals are ganging up with the Conservatives to impose a sales tax in Ontario," or "Some of the Liberal members have been in volved in many of the scandals which have rocked the govern. ment," or "But the Liberal and Conservative parties reflect pri marily not the wishes and needs of the people, but the vested in. terests in the private insurance world and the medical associa tions, To put it mildly, let us say that Mr, MacDonald in some of his statements tends at least towards bigotry «= which most erusaders do Personally we like to see a man who when he realizes something is wrong points it out with re- serve, And particularly who doesn't obviously look on it as a great big bonanza on which to build public esteem for himself, There always 1s the question of which Is the greater falling: to actually sin or to take advantage of other's sin, expressed in simple words, we urgently need more eapital than we ourselves can provide, and we must have this If we are to advance, but we should not sell the old homestead to raise that cash This looks like being the under. lying theme of John Diefens baker's 'new national policy': "Canada for Canadians" an "No foreign domination of our economy." WE SHOULD TIGHTEN BELTS Those bankers and economists have In effect been telling us to abandon our national practice of the past 15 years, which has been a "Laze now, let our grandehils MM pay' policy, But not only must we ourselves decide to live within our means; we must be tougher borrowers, We must raise money by selling bonds which we can later repay, not by selling the outright owners ship of our natural resources which we may never be able to buy back, UB, investors especlally would understand and respect such a new attitude towards foreign in. vestors In Canada, For when their country was in its develop. ment stage, they likewise had te borrow huge sums from foreign. ers; but they raised that money in the form of loans secured hy bonds, which they were later able to pay back--they did not sell their ofl wells and thelp mines to foreigners, nor permit foreign companies to build huge branch plants to dominate and subjugate their economy, In its attitude of a new real fsm and a new toughness and a new dynamism---and if I read the signs aright, this 1s today's attls tude of the Diefenbaker govern. ment--our leaders ave reflecting a growing national sentiment, They are also very evidently riding a swelling wave of popu. larity, bouncing back vigorously from their low esteem of late summer, That six-ring elreus is no mirage, REPORT FROM U.K. W. Indies Bases Being Discussed By M, MeINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON «- The future of Unit. ed States military bases on is lands within the West Indies Fed. eration Is the subject of a confer ence which is now in progress at Lancaster House in London, Tak. ing part in the talks are the re presentatives of the governments of the United Kingdom, the Unit. od States and the West Indies, Under discussion are the bases whieh were leased to the United States under the 191 Lend: Lease agreement, when these is lands were colonial territories and hud not reached the status of bases under discussio nave locats ed on the islands of Jamaica, Ane gua, St Lucla and Trinidad, The agreement by which the United States acquired military bases dn these islands was part of a wartime arrangement made be. tween the governments of the United Kingdom and the United States, Under this agreement, the Hritish government received naval and military equipment, ins cluding 50 destroyers, at a orus clal period of the second world war, In exchange, the United States was permitted to establish naval and alr bases on certain of the British territories in the Carib bean Sea and North Atlantie, Bases were In due course, estab lished on Antigua, Jamaica, St, Lucia, Trinidad, British Guiana, Bermuda, the Bahamas and New foundland, The sites for these bases were made available on Df-year leases, In 1960, when Newfoundland be- came Canada's 10th province, the bases there were continued under an agreement with the Canadian government, Most of these bases were closed down at the end of the second world war, but the Americans retained the right to re-activate them on short notice, In some cases, separate agrees ments have been concluded since then permitting the United States authorities to use the sites for des fence research activities which do not come within the terms of the agreement made in 1d1, An ex» ample of this is the use of some of them as long range proving grounds for missiles, The present talks arise out of an article of the original agrees ment which reads as follows: "The government of the United States and the government of the United Kingdom agree to give sympathetic consideration to any representations which either may make after this agreement has been in force for a reasonable time, proposing a review of any of its provisisions to determine whether modifications in the light of experience are necessary or desirable. Any such modifications shall be hy mutual consent."
