The Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St, E., Oshawa, Ontario T, L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1963---PAGE 6 Broader Consultation Good Idea For Budget Prime Minister Pearson is on firm ground when he says that the pro- - cess of drafting a federal 'budyet needs overhauling to provide more consultation within the cabinet and between the government and the ~ public before tax decisions are made, He might have added that the con- sultations should be carried on in the open. The present method' makes sec- recy essential, Interested parties present briefs in secrecy to the finance minister, who makes the final decisions without prior con- sultation with his cabinet colle- agues, The cabinet is informed of budget decisions only a few days before they are announced in the Commons, Mr. Pearson thinks that basic secrecy should still be maintained, but it is difficult to see how this could be done with the broad dis- cussion that is suggested, And in any case, if it were possible to 'base a budget system on the American method, the need for secrecy would vanish, It he to borrow the U.S, system as it stands, would impossible because of the differences in the relations between the cabinet and parliament on the Canadian side and the president and Congress on the American, But some modifica- tion should be possible to obtain a sounder method of budget prepara- tion, In the United States, the president sends hi budget to Congress and there it is debated clause by clause over a period of weeks and months, The final result may be substan- tially different from what was originally proposed, but the changes have been made after much open discussion and deliberation, The stock market quiver, no sudden fortunes are made or lost by "tip-off" speculation, But the budget: ultimately reflects a broad pattern of thinking; everyone has been able to have his say before the final decisions are made, The weakness of our method was demonstrated in the Gordon budget, Gross mistakes can be made by the finance minister; they can be missed in hasty they are ountry does not review by his colleagues; inflicted on a suffering because of lack of review, Tired Of The Antics easy to understand . the of Britain's Home It is angry Secretary the Commons British public is the antics of Fascists, Communists, the self-styled anti-nuclear com- mittee of 100 and other extremists." Britain has had more than its share of trouble in recent months from deliberate agitators and the lunatic fringe attracted to such agitation, It is obvious now, too, that while the ban-the-bomb groups may have started out filled with good if some- what fuzzy intentions, they have been thoroughly infiltrated by the Communists and now dance fren- viedly te the Communist tune, They were emotional, even hysteri- eal, types. to begin with, unable or unwilling to face the harsh facts of international life and fondly be- lieving or professing to believe that a thousand years of struggle and sacrifice can be thrown away for a few years of vegetable security.

The casual ties: 400,000,000 birds, The feathered enemy was the red-billed finch, South Africa's most destructive bird, pare the early 1930s it caused losses to farmers offi- cially 'estimated at $2,800,000 annually, This largely resulted from a change in the finch's living habits, government entomolo- gist D, C, Lourens says, Instead of migrating from place to place, giant concentrations fo- cused on small-grain farming areas, It was not unusual for a farmer to see a dark cloud of up to 2,000,000 of these birds Joom out of a cluster of trees and descend on his grain fields, Lourens, a man with a soft spot for birds, went as far. as Mali and Senegal to study the problem, Then the war started First the army used dynam ce to blow the roosting sites of finches into the air, This was too cumbersome and expensive. Molotov cocktails were placed among trees where a colony of finches were lurking. The oniy satisfied people were African farm workers who like roasted finches, Toxic sprays on grain lands did not give satisfactory resul's either, The final method killed. off millions of birds by = spraying them at night with a contact poison, OTTAWA REPORT Defence Budgets Reveal Big Change in Spending By DAVE McINTOSH OTTAWA (CP) -- Karly Ca- nadian Parliaments were ap. Ned by defence budgets of 1,000,000, In fact, defence funds were sometimes diverted to other projects, An amount of $1,000,000 doesn't turn a hair on the head of any MP on the Commons de- fence committee, now studying a 1963-64 defence budget of $1,- The first Canadian defence act was passed jn 1868, the year after Confederation. It provided £1,100,000 for defence works. Not a penny was spent for this purpose, however, All the money was used for. railway construction, In 1869. Britain began with. drawing its 16,000 troops from Canada, The population of Can- ada was 3,571,097 and = militia expenditure -- there were no regular forces--was $1,245,972. In 1870, about 14,000 militia. men were called out to deal with the Fenian raids and an- other 700 for the Red River ex. pedition to quell the first Riel Rebellion, South Africa now has only a few million of these destructive finches left. And when Lourens was in Europe recently some of the birds were offered to him--in a pet shop, Tough Opponent Tackled By Judy By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Judy LaMarsh, the quick-witted trigger-tongued minister of health and welfare, has taken on a tougher oppo- nent than she ever had to face when she was & sergeant in the Canadian Women's.

Atew days later, before the Southern Ontario Liberal Association at Hamil- ton, Miss. LaMarsh dropped her bombsheti "Ia the past few weeks," she said, "I have frankly been stunned by the rising wave of public concern over this matter and the resulting deluge of questions in the House of Com- mons.

Miss LaMarsh added:" I am Riving consideration te the con- sultation with all. interested groups te work out a possible program, particularly regard. ing the education of our youth with respect te this public health problem."
