B Thursday, Februery 9, 1961 do Poge 6 aven therein Kennedy Proposal May Inspire Our Tourism It » unpossible to estimate at this time what effect the cuts in tourist exemptions proposed for the United States by President Kennedy would have on the Canadien tourist industry. Mr, Kennedy hes asked the US. Con gress to enact legislation to reduce the sxemption from customs duties allowed tourists on goods bought abroad from $500 to $100. The $500 exemption is made up of two parts, $300 on a stay abroad of 12 days or more snd $200 on a stay of at least 48 hours Most of the 30 million or so Amer- cans who visit Canada each year are short-trippers and therefore do not qualify for the full exemption. John Fisher, executive director of the Cane- dian Tourist Association, felt that Cans. dian stores selling expensive imported chins, fur costs and other luxury items may suffer from the lowered exemption, but that the majority of retail outlets will not and may, indeed, profit in places close to the U.S. border, since Americans may be induced to make more frequent short visits to Canada by the foreign restrictions George Martin, past president of the Association of Tourist Resorts of On- tario, was quoted as saying that "we don't think it's a serious factor, it may help us" because fewer US citizens may be inclined to go to Europe. It may well be, then, that when all the credits and debits are calculated there will be little change in the US tourist account in Canada, That is why, probably, the Canadian government is taking a very calm view of the Kennedy proposal. But while Kennedy acts to reduce the outgo of U.S, dollars, Canada has taken no effective action to balance the Canadian tourist account In 1959, the recent yeat which figures are available, American visitors spent an estimated $365 million in Canada. But Canadians accounted far nearly one half of the $1 billion tiipt foreign tourists spent in the United States that year, And it is the same story each year, Canadians spending » great deal more in the United States than Americans spend here, It repre sents a substantial drain of money. most tor We do not think the answer for Can. ads is to ape the Kennedy plan. Far better would be much more intensive promotion of Canada as a superb vacs- tionland---s promotion that would have to be accompanied by a vigorous pro- gram of improvement in facilities for tourists here. We have ss much as any nation in the world to offer visitors, except the kind of accommodation and arrangements that they have become sccustomed to in other countries that have built up large and profitable tourists industries. Our big pitch has been directed, naturelly, at United States citizens, but we have made few attempts to match what the good US resorts offer to their customers The Canadian tourist effort has of necessity to be s double promotion, one directed st foreigners and the other at Canadians. It is surprising, indeed shocking, how many Canadians know their way about Miami but have never seen where their country's laws are made; how many rave about the Alps but have never been through the Rockies; how may have visited Gettys- burg but have never stood on the Plains of Abraham; how many have spent hours inspiring second-rate collections here and there but have never gone through the Royal Ontario Museum A worthwhile study would be one directed at the reasons for Canadian hurry to get out of the country. Why, for example, do we go to Maine and forget about Nove Scotia? Some of the reasons are warm sun in cold winter -- but the study would force us to examine our own shortcomings. Canadians are al- lowed to bring home duty-free goods worth up to $100 every four months, and many Canadians go to the US. expressly on shopping trips; they are not tourists but buyers, Where does the answer lie in this situation? If Mr. Kennedy's proposal forces & more vigorous, imaginative approach to Canadian tourist on the part of govern. ments, tourist associations and private operators, he will have done Canada a great favor obvious. months is one Slavery Report Hidden The fantastic story of the seizure of the Portuguese ship Santa Maria by Capt. Henrique M. Galvao had an air of Gilbert and Sullivan* about it. But Galveo is no comic opera star, He is & serious, patriotic man who has tried his best to tell the Portuguese people and the world the true story of Por tugal and fictatorship, the Mil vaukee Journal argues More than 10 years ago Galvao, as a government inspector, made an official tour of the Portuguese colonies of An- gola, Portuguese Guineas and Mozam- bique. He was horrified by what he found and he set it all down in an official report. The report was quickly quashed in Portugal and Galvao was soon out of a job and in jail. But copies of the report were smuggled out and it has been reprinted in English by the London Observer The report told of appalling condi tions in which the native populations of the colonies were forced to live and of the calloused and brutal ' eatment by their Portuguese masters.

Infant mortality in some places reached 60%. People were under nourished and overlooked. He hit hardest at the system of compulsory labor, under which government offices recruited workers by force and "rented" them out to private employers, It was, Galvao reported, worse than slavery. "Under slavery the bought man, ac quired as a head of cattle, was regarded as an asset by his master," said Galvao "He was interested in keeping him healthy and strong and agile in the same way as he would look after his horse or bull "Today the native is not bought he is simply rented from the govern. ment, though he may have the status of a free man. His master could hardly care less if he falls ill or dies, as long as he goes on working while he lives . . . When he becomes unable .to work or when he dies, the master can always ask to be supplied with other laborers." This insight into Portuguese colonies is an insight into the Portuguese gov- ernment itself, There is every reason to believe that conditions in the colo nies under the Salazar dictatorship are still deplorable, Galvao is one of the few Portuguese who has dared say so, and thus his exile today after escape from prison.

REPORT FROM U.K. British Improve Trade With Russ By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON == One of the bright. esl spots in the British trade picture is that which concerns the growing trade between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. As a matter of fact, Britain's export trade to Rus. sia is enjoying a most welcome boom, and this promises to con. tinue. New orders worth more than $55 million dollars are ex pected by the spring of this year, British industry is making steady inroads into other money-spinnipg markets behind the Iron Curtain, This bright spot in the ex- port picture was ven more than usual attention in & debate in the House of Commons at the re-opening of the session, when the opposition made a full-scale attack on the govenment"s eco nomic policies UP 30 PER CENT The figures quoted by Regi nald Maudling, president of the Board of Trade, showed that in 1060 the total trade between Britain and Soviet Russia rose by nearly 20 per cent. Direct exports from the United King. dom to Russia Increased by more than 30 per cent, with the value of business in 1960 risin above a record - breaking total of $364 million, This encouraging picture has led Mr, Maudling to believe that there are still greater gains to be made in the Russian market, He is planning to take up with industry proposals for stepping up sales campaigns in Russia and other Communist countries in Europe. Trade experts have stated quite bluntly that Britain is just Ygkimming the surface" of the potential markets to be found in these countries, The goodwill is there, they say, and the mar kets are waiting PACKAGE DEALS There is belleved to be a» reat future in the trade with Russia in what are known as "package deals"--involving the building of complete industrial plants and installing machinery in them.
