Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 30, 1962--PAGE 6 Simple Ontario Formula Calls For Elaboration Premier Robarts. and Economics Minister Macaulay have started a "Buy Ontario" crusade -- and the more power to them. They say, very simply, that if each Ontario resident spent $100 less a year on imported goods and bought Ontario goods in- stead, it would mean an increase of $600 million in domestic sales, and this in turn would mean an increase of 10,000 jobs -- using the formula that $10,000 worth of business creates one job. It is an attractively simple proposi- tion, and one that has a great deal of merit, But it is not as simple as the Ontario ministers make it sound, and in all fairness they should eleborate. It is true that Canadians, per capita, spend far more than any other nation on imports -- about $236 a year com- pared to the $50 spent by the Briton and the $32 by the American. But it is also true that Canada enjoys a favorable balance of trade with nearly all other countries, the big exception being the United States. Indeed, our unfavorable balance with the United States is so great that it is the basic cause of our balance of payments difficulties. Thus, it is not enough to say, simply, "We must buy more at home less abroad." To be honest, we must say, "We must buy less in the United States or sell a lot more to the United States." If we substantially reduce our pur- chases from those countries with which we enjoy a favorable balance of trade, we invite them -- we may even force them -- to reduce their purchases in Canada and in Ontario. When that happens, we gain nothing; what we put into one pocket we take out of the other. But in 1960 we sold $600 million worth less to the United States than we sold to that country. It may be only concidence that this amount corresponds to the figure sug- gested by Mr. Robarts as the basis for 10,000 jobs. Silence Has Virtues The fuss about the Allan Gardens poets is a little more than just another Metro oddity. It has an application in. many other communities. Some individuals calling themselves poets (a wildly flattering term to apply to characters who are not even versif- iers) started giving public readings in Allan Gardens, which. is quite a small Toronto park. The police broke up the gatherings, because a city bylaw required a licence for public meetings in that particular park. The poets became stubborn, said they were fighting for a precious right, insulted the police, appealed to the public and city council, and enlisted considerable unthinking sympathy. The fact of the matter is that if the self-styled poets want to spout their effusions in public in Toronto, they can do so. There are plenty of other places where they can recite, apart from Allan Gardens -- places that are large enough so that if they yell and scream or otherwise attract a curious crowd they will not destroy the pleasure of others who do not wish to listen to their recitations or watch their antics. If poets have their rights, so do the people who go to a park simply to sit and watch the trees breathe and listen to the grass grow -- the quiet people, the people who are victimized day and night by the crashes, bangs, equeals, whimpers and yakkety--yak of an increasingly noisy world; the people whose nerves already twang like quitar strings, without any extra plucking by poets -- and, it must be admitted, Allan Gardens has tradi- tionally been a convalescent area highly favored by those unfortunates who find their only solace in a bottle of cheap wine. If there were no place for the poets to recite their stuff, there would be cause for concern. But the poets are being stubborn, their supporters slop- pily sentimental. In this case the poets are not gallantly defending principle but attacking a right -- the right of the quiet people to a quiet corner in a big noisy city. Pessimism Unjustified Current trends in business activity are conflicting, but they do not justify pessimism about the immediate out- look. Many economic indicators still point upward and further expansion of business activity in both Canada and the United States can still be ex- pected, the Bank of Montreal's July business review concludes. A high level of consumer spending is continuing to sustain the current expansion in Canada, although many businessmen are very sensitive to any signs that suggest a levelling out in activity. Caution is attributable to 4 number of factors, the review says. In the United States, for instance, in addition to the drop in the stock market and a decline in corporation profits, the rate of inventory accu- mulation has also fallen and prices of industrial materials have weaken- ed. But the bank points out: "On the other hand, there has been a generally encouraging trend in con- sumer spending, supported by rising levels of personal income.

At home, the bank thinks it is still too soon to assess with any degree of accuracy the likely effect of Can- ada's new austerity measures. The new external value for the Canadian dollar, however, should provide a "definite stimulus to export indus- tries, while the temporary surcharge on imports should also lead to in- creased domestic production in certain lines, with a consequent increase in employment, The extent and duration of such an increase in activity will, of course, be influenced by trends in domestic prices and costs. Further- more, the expansionary effects could be tempered by other fiscal and mone- tary measures which are an integral part of the emergency program that had to be undertaken in defence of the Canadian dollar." Other Editors' Views CHEERLESS PLACE (Ottawa Journal) The only sort of behavior that seems out of place in the typical On- - tario beverage room is cheerfulness. But in these dingy seedy places there is little temptation to be cheerful. The atmosphere of a beverage room is enough to drive its occupants to drink.

REPORT FROM U.K. Women Seen Better Drivers By M. McINTYRE HOOD, Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --A British insur- ance company has taken a def- inite stand on the issue that women drivers are more care- ful and less prone to be involved in accidents than are men driv- ers of automobiles. Under a new underwriting plan just insti- tuted, housewives who drive the family car will earn for their husbands a discount of 10 per cent in the cost of their car in- surance premiums. This revolutionary plan is based on domestic habits having changed so that the housewives are doing more driving of the family car, and on the ex- perience of the insurance com- panies that women have been involved in far fewer damage claims than male drivers. YOUR HEALTH Heart Murmur How Serious? By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. "Dear. Dr. Molner: Please ex- plain a heart murmur. How serious is it? Who should one go to, a regular doctor or a heart specialist? "Recently the school doctor notified me that my eight-year- old son has a murmur. Is this a sudden or a gradual fault of the heart? What 'yt is neces- sary?--Mrs., A. B. Why assume that es is either a sudden or gradual 'fault of the heart," when it may be no fault at all? When your doctor listens to your heart with a stethoscope, he hears the "tunk-thunk'"' of the heartbeat. He sometimes hears some additional sound, as the blood swirls and eddies as it is pumped through the heart, These addéd sounds are "mur- murs." A diseased heart, it is true, is pretty much bound to have murmurs. But so can_ hearts which are perfectly healthy. The kind of murmur, its loca- tion, and other signs. or tests tell whether it means anything. Some authorities have re- ported that at least half of the children in a school will have "murmurs," yet only a few have any heart ailment. Then why report these murmurs? Because school health authori- ties don't have the time to study each child; all they can do is make a quick examina- tion. Reporting a murmur gives the parents a motive to take the child to their doctor and see whether anything serious is de- veloping. Many a time all that happens is that the parents call for an appointment but instead are told by the doctor, "Sure, he has a murmur. I've heard it, too. But I also know he has a perfectly sound heart, so just forget it." In short, don't let a "mur- mur" worry you until you have first found out whether anything is wrong. Regular doctor or a heart spe- cialist, don't forget that both are physicians. The specialist is one who has spent several years in added training in some par- ticular field. A pediatrician is a specialist in child care. A surgeon is a specialist in surgery. And so on. If you have been taking your youngster to a pediatrician, go back to him. to find out about the murmur. If you have been going to a general practitioner, or "family doctor, consult him. Should anything of unusual significance require the serv- ices »f a specialist, he'll tell you so. "Dear Dr. Molner: My hus- band suffers from foot odor. What do you suggest?--Mrs. I. Aside from the obvious things (washing and changing socks daily) have him wear wool socks (they can absorb mois- F The scheme has been drawn up to apply where the wife does any part of the driving of the family car, but it will cover the use of the car only for social, domestic and pleasure purposes. But there is no stipulation as tothe proportion of driving which has to be done by the wife to qualify for the insurance discount. The new plan is derived from a scheme which was introduced by an insurance broker, Herbert Sheppard of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, with the backing of a big insurance company. This origin- al plan, however, was applied only where a car was driven mainly by a woman, and in- cluded its use for business pur- poses. "The scheme is based on the better claims experience reveal- ed by the examination of very many insurances where the ap- _ plication forms had indicated that the wife was a regular driver," said Mr, Sheppard. Mr. Sheppard 'expressed his | views on why women are better * drivers than men in the follow- ture, and keep a little air space present). He should use several pairs of shoes, never wearing the same ones two days in a row. There are some very good aerosol shoe and foot sprays as well as powders, which might help. Soaking the feet in a weak formalin: solution is often good. Note X: "San Joaquin Fever is a respiratory disease caused by a fungus, apparently carried' by air and dust, in hot, dry climates, as the southwest- ern U.S. and parts of South America, and almost always in agricultural areas. Fever, cough, chest pain, chills and sore throat are among the symptoms. A skin test can be used to determine the disease, which attacks dark-skinned peo- ple rather than whites by about 10 to one. ing words: "'We have found that women drivers are not so inclined to "chance it', and they do not seem to worry so much about arriving at their destinations on time. "More courtesy is shown to the women driver, and in an accident witnesses are more likely to come forward to help. "Another point is that women, although not so mechanically minded, are quicker to notice any unusual sound in a car, and to insist on having it investi- gated and put right." One of the key factors, how- ever, in inducing this special dis- count where the wives do so much of the driving of the car, is ite increasing habit of wives to drive with their husbands to the station to catch a train to the city and use the car during the rest of the day. There is also a greater tendency on the part of wives to share the driv- ing during long runs and thus relieve the strain on the driver.

Others will react less 0 philloso- \phically, It was all very well to mock at "poor Selwyn" when he was conscientiously canrying out orders, to comcede that he was worthy and honest and competent but that after ail, old boy, he "lacks a public face." Now that he is out, deprived at a moment's notice of his post as chancellor of the exchequer, there is a rush of sympathy for @ man of integrity who is widely deemed to have been a victim of events. LLOYD TIRED? Why did Prime Minister Mac- _ millan so suddenly axe the loyal lieutenant who used to drop around so often for a glass of sherry? Why was Lloyd made to bear the blame of the con- troversial "pay pause" policy, which the prime minister pub- licly supported to the hilt? One explanation advanced in official quarters is that Lloyd was a tired man, driven into the ground after gruelling years as foreign secretary and then at the treasury. The time had come for a new look, a fresh image. Macmillan is reported to have said at a private meeting of Conservatives that the three days in which the main cabinet changes were made were the "most miserable' of his life. So far, the aftermath has also been bitter. Macmillan received a cool reception both in his first post-shuffle appearance in the Commons and later at a meeting of a party parliamen- tary committee. Newspaper reaction on the whole has been unkind. The Sunday Telegraph, usually true- blue Tory, proclaimed m a threecolumn headline that the prime minister had staked his "whole future' on what it called a cabinet "purge." The Times, independent but sympathetic to the government, significantly commented: "Ruthlessness that proved in- effective would not be admired. If Mr. Macmillan cannot bring about a change with so largely Arab Claims Bard Of Avon BAGHDAD (Reuters)--If an Iraqi literary scholar has his way, Shakespeare may be- come known as the "Bard of Baghdad."' Dr. Safa AlKhulusi, a 44 year-old doctor of literature who did his graduate work at London University, says Shakespeare was cmiginally an Anab. "I have a mass of evi- dence which proves beyond doubt that Shakespeare had Arab blood," he claims. Dr: Khulusi announced his theory on a televicion pro- gram here titled The Influ- ence of Arab Culture on the West. It started a hunt by Iraqi students 6f English lit- erature for evidence to sup- port it, but the idea isn't completely new. Several decades ago, Ah- med Sared Al-Shidyaq, a Leb. anese whiter, put forward a theory that an Arab sailor named "Sheikh Zubair" had gone to Britain and become known as "Shakespeare." FINDS LINKS Dr. Khulusi thas read and Tre - read the playwright's works in search of evidence to prove the validity of his theory. He claims to have come up with a mass of evidence, much of it based on similari- ties between the plays and the tales of The Arabian Nights, whose authorship thas long been in dispute among Arab scholars. Dr. Khulusi says they were written by an Iraqi, and that Shakespeares as another Iraqi, drew on them for in- spiration. Shakespeare died im 1616 and The Arabian Nights were not translated into English before 1711. Thus, says Dr. Khulusi, "Shekespeare could only have obtained The Arab- ian Nights tales by word of mouth." However, the tales were well known in Europe even before Shakespeare was born and some of them had been translated into Latin. reconstructed a team, the ques- tion will not be burked whether be could with any other." Thus Macmillan's personal fu- ture is closely linked with this most drastic of British govern- ment reconstructions. At 68, he now heads a team whose aver- age age is about 50, and he has only a year or so to reverse the present anti-Conservative trend in byelections. " LATE ELECTION The next general election must be held by 1964 at the latest, with most forecasts favoring the autumn of 1963. Some feel the reconstruction im- plies voting may be deferred until the last possible moment- There is a widespread feeling, common to all parties, that Britain is standing still, that nobody knows just where the country 'is heading. Comments the weekly magazine The Spec- "We have been inhibited from making those decisive move- ments that will get the entire country going again--and give the lie to those pessimists who see nothing for us but decay on a truly Spanish scale. "For all that has been done with Europe, partly by the psychological srl involved in some broad cause to oo his colleagues," the visitor might be tempted to conclude that when the election does come it will be curtains for Macmillan. But time may bring a change. A more hopeful view of govern ment prospects is expressed in The Spectator by Henry Fairlie, who says: "If the Conservative . party were not in its 11th year of of- fice, and if the government were not in electoral difficulties, the new cabinet would be ack- nowledged to. be one, of the strongest of this century and, more pertinently, almost the strongest which could be re cruited from the present House of Commons." Indian Diplomat Thinks Canada In Key Position By JOSEPH MacSWEEN NEW YORK (CP) -- India's newly-appointed high commis- sioner to Canada says one of the reasons his country has re- mained in the Commonwealth is that Canada is a member. The ambassador, Chandra Shekhar Jha, 53, isn't taking any diplomatic chances when he says. this--he quotes no less an authority than Prime Min- ister Nehru. Nehru, he recalls, spoke in this vein when Prime Minister Diefenbaker visited India in 1958 and thus the diplomat regards his new appointment as one of the most important in the In- dian foreign service. Jha, as India's ambassador to the United Nations for the last 3% years, has been at the core of controversial happenings and there is little doubt he will be just as busy in Canada, if in a different way. "We have no problems in our relations with Canada--our feel- ings aré traditionally friendly-- but it would be a great mistake to assume from this that my job will be routine," Jha said. The scholarly-looking diplo- mat--he is stocky, his shock of white hair surmounting horn- rimmed spectacles--was inter- viewed at India House, where the relaxed courtesy of his staff was in striking contrast with the hurly-burly of Manhattan life outside. EG)NOMIC CONCERN "We regard Canada as an important country," he said. "Tt will be my intention further to develop relations and per- haps especially in an economic way' Jha said he could not yet speak of specifics in the ec ic field b he needed to study the subject more. He shifted the conversa- tion instead to such things as tuna-fishing in Nova Scotia, the Calgary Stampede, Shakespeare in Stratford, the possibilities of bear-hunting in Ontario and the beauties of British Columbia- Jha, who has visited Canada only as a tourist, succeeds B. N. Chakravarty, who comes to the UN A topic on which Jha sees eye-to-eye with the Canadian government is Britain's possible entry into the Common Market. As he puts it, there's a '"'close- ness between Canada's and our views." The Commonwealth is more or less a "club" and should trade arrangements, a tangible factor linking the diverse na- tions, fall apart the organiza- tion would be weakened, Jha declared. "In India I haven't noticed any feeling that we should get out of the Commonwealth be- cause of the Common Market-- but it would have a weakening effect on the Commonwealth." Any Indian diplomat at the UN must fall to some extent under the shadow of Defence Minister V. K. Krishna Menon, a frequent visitor and ardent UN man. But Jha carried the ball last year--and showed his tenacity in debate--in defending his country from chargse of aggression for taking over the Portuguese territory of Goa. Jha, born in 1909, was edu- cated at Patna University and the School of Oriental Studies, London, taking a master's de- gree in science -- chemistry-- and a bachelor's degree in law. That, he admits, was a "strange combination." But his first venture into science in those days seemed unfruitful, with little promise of what was to come in that field, and he made the switch to. law, im portant training in diplomacy. He joined the Indian civil serv- ice in 1933. In the interview, Jha warmly espoused the fairness of Afro- Asian countries at the UN, say- ing that fears of so-called white countries of steam - rolling tactics are groundless. "There is no good ground for what has been said--that the Asian and African countries have tried to steam-roll," said Jha, referring to the rapid growth of UN membership to 104, "What has happened is that the initiative passed to them-- to the Asian and African coun- tries--and the big powers found themselves in difficulty without our support. READY TO HELP "But worthwhile resolutions were [ d with tr majorities, showing that the ~ Asian - Africans are perfectly willing to go along and support measures that seem right." Jha, former ambassador to Turkey and Japan, was chair- man of the UN human rights commission--of which Canada now is a member--in 1961- He was also chairman of the com- mittee on contributions to, the UN, which has to. do with as. sessments, and presided over a meeting of this group in Geneva while preparing for his Cana- dian assignment. He is chairman of the UN special committee of 17 on the implementation of the UN dec- colonial countries. Jha said he laration of independence for will likely retain this position after becoming ambassador to Canada, returning to New York to preside over meetings at UN headquarters. Jha was scheduled to take up his Ottawa appointment at the end of July, accompanied by his wife and his younger son, Prem, 23, a recent graduate of Oxford. His other son is in the Indian foreign service, stationed in New Delhi. Among Jha's pursuits are ten nis, golf, bridge, theatre, hunt-~ ing and travelling and--he said a bit wistfully--"perhaps in Ot- tawa I'll have a chance to do a bit of writing." PICTURE FRAMING?
