The Oshawa Times Published by Conadion Mewspapers Limited, 86 King 5. E., Oshows, Ont, Page 6 Wednesdoy, Ferry 15, 1961 Some Planning Needed To Avoid Difficulties A brisk argument has been stirred wp by the suggestion of John A. Wilson, president of the Canedisn Instite of Chertered Accountants, thet Canade needs a new federal department of national planning snd development, The gctusl planning, he suggested, would he handled by & nations come mises made up non-political represens tation from lsbor, education, govern. ment, the arts, business, chirches snd industry, "It does not mesn a planned economy in that sense (of Socialism)" he said, "Governments could be judged on the basis of how well they perform relative to the plan" There are ohvious, glaring weak: nesses in the proposal, The commitise could not possibly be made up of "non political representation" I it were, some of the best minds in the country would be excluded, and the committee would quickly lapse inte mediocrity, from which little of any value to the nation could be expected, Then, the committee would have to agree on ton, its planning, if any coherent program were to he placed before the governs ment of the day, We doubt if any subs- tential measure of agreement could be reached, One has only to think of the Doctors And The apposition medical government health insurance p nas led people to believe that all doctors are ggainst all such plans, Buch, of course, is not In Saskatchewan, for example, the provineial medical associa tion did not have the unanimous sup- port of its members in its fight against the prgvincial government's health insurance proposals. More recently, Dean J, F, McCreary of the University of British Columbia's school of medicine, made 8 frank public review of health insurance problems, He predicted that the major dispute will be over the choice hetween a doctor's fee for service, as under present mass medical insurance, or a panel system as in the United Kingdom, The medical associations in North America have expresed their dislike of the panels of-patients system, and the public has ita reservations tee, as the Vancouver Bun points out; A patient generally wants to select his own doctor, and the mass. processing nature of panel medicine is distasteful, of some organized groups against the case cirent debete between economists snd bankers about the Renk of Canada snd its Governor 16 get some ides of the probable clash of opinion snd doctrine in 8 woup such ss thet proposed by Mr, Wilson, At the same time, too many of Mr, Wilson's critics sre attacking him on the ground that "buresucratic planning' is always 8 failure, One came owt with the flat statement thet "it is 8 matier of record thet bureaucrats are economis bunglers" = a sweeping generalization if there ever was one, Who sre the buresucrats? 'They nre presumably, members of the civil service, the people who carry out the orders of cabinet ministers and whe provide those ministers with ideas snd, often, programs, They may fashion policies, but they eannot act on such without getting cabinet approval of the policy, What the eritic is saying, then, is that gll cabinet ministers and senior servants which is nonsense Some people seem to have a horror of the world "planning". They refuse tq face an obvious fact of modern life; Most of our problems derive from the lack of planning end forethought & des cade, a generation or a century Bago, Plans But Dean McCreary points that the fee-for-service system also has its draw: backs: The doctor has a vested interest in the patient's illness; it gives him little incentive to practise preventive medis seni gre bunglers cine; it is more costly; operations are twice as frequent as under a panel system There is another factor, the Sun notes Two recent Canadian medical autobios graphies stress the fierce competition that patients and professional standing under Dr, H A lieutenant-governor can exist between doctors for the fees-for-service system, Bruce, Ontario former of and a distinguished surgeon, writes with brutal frankness about the cover-up of bungling and the obstacles placed in the way of brilliant young men hy their established and often less competent seniors, Dr, Best and Dr, Banting suffered in this way, Dr, A, I, Willinsky of Terente in "A Doctor's Memeirs" says: "1 hate the whele busi ness of selling our services on the open market the way we have to" Violence And Order Are newspapers too quick te justify "political erimes"? That is the sugges tion of The Canadian Register, in commenting on the Banta Maria's seizure hy a group of Portuguese rebels, The Register says: "If the Banta Maria episode is allowed to take on the glamour of a romantic adventure or daring coup of political opponents against legitimately - astabs lished government, then ne government and no people are safe, Any erime can be passed off as a protest against the established erder , . , One ean say what one wants about Salazar. and his regime, The fact remains that it does not threaten world peace, nor do we hear accounts of the endless parade of execution squads that reach wa from Cuba , , , You can't argue morality out of the question of the Santa Maria, ye Oshawa Times TL WILSON, Publisher and Gensial Manages 6 GWYN KINSEY, Bdivn Oshawa Times sambinin he en 187) ond the Union Gazette and Wonisls (established 1883), WW published daily Gundays and slatulary halidave excepted) Members ot Canadian Daily Newspapsis Publishen Asasiation, The Canadian Press, Audit Bureau of Cireulation and the Ontaria Paving Dailies Ane sation.
