Wilson, Publisher " FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1963---PAGE 6 Trade Minister Gives Simple Economic Facts If the United States government takes as shortsighted and bellige- rent an approach to its relations with other countries as it has taken towards Canada's efforts to strengthen its economy and sup- port its democratic labor unions from foreign intimidation, it is little wonder that the U.S. is in trouble in almost every part of the world. U.S. trade officials are now bit- terly criticizing Canada's plan to reduce its enormous deficit with the United States by discouraging wholesale imports of auto parts. The Americans seem to have missed completely: the patient lesson read recently by Trade Minister Sharp. He told the Farm Equipment Insti- tute convention in New Orleans: "I begin by stating the obvious: That the balance of payments prob- lems of the United States and of Canada are both serious. But there the similarity ends... "Canada is almost certainly the world's largest debtor nation and has been going into debt steadily and massively. The United States is the world's largest creditor na- tion and its net international assets are growing from year to year. "Canada, on the one hand, has been running a large and persistent current account deficit . . . These deficits have been financed by large imports of capital. The United States, by contrast, has been run- ning a current account surplus of $2 to $3 billion a year. The trouble is that this surplus has not been equal to the enormous volume of investments and aid that has poured forth from this great country in recent years ,.. "T have been looking at the figures for the four recent years for which we have complete data, those beginning in 1958 and ending in 1961. They show that in the average year of this period, Cana- dians spent $1,450 million more dollars in transactions with the United States than they earned in transactions with the United States. In other words Canada had a current account deficit with the United States in those four years averaging $1,450 million per year. "During the same. period, the capital movement from the United States to Canada averaged $1,200 million per year -- an enormous figure by any standards but $250 million less than our annual cur- rent account deficit with the United States... "From this very brief analysis you will see that far from contri- buting to United States balance of payments difficulties Canada has, in recent years, been contributing something like $250 million a year to help the United States meet its deficits with other countries ... "It is one thing to be drawing goods and services from abroad be- cause we aren't able to produce enough at home. It is quite another thing to be doing this when there are unemployed productive resour- ces at home... "It is this unevenness in Can- ada's industrial structure that seems to underlie the paradoxical situation surrounding our external balance. For example, while dollar receipts from our largest export item, newsprint have increased several fold in recent decades to a level now exceeding $700 million, our trade position in automotive products has shifted from a near balance in some inter-war years to a deficit running well in excess of $500 million annually." He had a lot more to say, of course, but the excerpts show the point of the speech -- and the soundness of the Canadian position. The self-supporting allies of the United States must sometimes feel that the ways to earn unselfish American co-operation are to play footsie with the Kremlin, establish a dictatorship on the excuse of fighting Communism, or get into a war with the U.S. and lose it. Water For Great Lakes Low water in the Great Lakes is bad news to a vast region in the United States and Canada. A bid by Chicago to divert more water raises diplomatic temperatures in Ottawa and Washington. When the Great Lakes level falls, as it did this year, the drop can be measur- ed in inches and the effect in dollars, the Milwaukee Journal notes. There is 'a rule of thumb that every inch of fall costs the average lake freighter 100 or more tons of cargo capacity. Harbor dredging costs soar. Low water leaves piers stranded on dry land, makes navi- gation touchy, exposes gaping mud flats below bathing beaches and often spoils sport fishing. Any new water supply source for the Great Lakes would be liquid gold. A stubborn Canadian with red hair and a vision thinks he has such a source. He proposes to re- verse a river which now flows into Hudson bay and drain it back into the Great Lakes according to Weekend magazine.

In brief, Kierans would dam Quebec's Harricanaw river, block- ing its flow north into Hudson bay. Adjacent rivers would be tapped for hydraulic power to operate pumps which would push the trap- ped water to the south, up almost 1,000 feet in 200 miles. This would nudge it over the "hump" of higher land at Amos, Que., near which the Harricanaw river is born. From here there would be a long downhill run to Lake Timiskaming on the Quebec-Ontario border, where the flow would join the Ottawa now runs to the St. Law- rence river and the Atlantic, but Kierans would change all that. He would divert the river flow at Mattawa, Ont., through a canal to Lake Nipissing, then into Georgian bay and'thus to the Great Lakes. Kierans who has plotted the the whole affair on a giant set of maps, figures the total cost at about $2 billion. To date the idea has produced only mild interest and some pointed rebuffs in Canada, which is not too surprising, the Journal thinks. After all, a man who proposes to reverse one river and change the course of a second can expect to stumble over sceptics.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Airlines using British airports which come under the jurisdiction of the Air Ministry, are protesting strongly against new regulations which have been announced regard ng the charges they have to pay for the use of these airports. The aim of the new regulations i. to relieve the taxpayers of YOUR HEALTH Flow Of Saliva sume of the burden of paying for the operation of these air- port facilities, and transfer it to the airlines. At the same time, the charge made to passengers leaving Britain by air, of just over one dollar, is being abolished, and the charges agast the airlines increased to make up for the revenue lost by this change. These changes in the method of charging for airport techni- cal services will cost British Slowed By Drugs By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. And today, the last of three columns on questions from Mrs. E. W .H., concerning various aspects of anesthesia that both- ered her. .Q Might a person with a normally over-abundant flow of saliva present some difficulties, and should the surgeon be in- formed of this? A. Yes, the surgeon (and anesthesiologist) should be in- formed. However, one of the drugs which is commonly used in the pre-operative "hypo" tends to dry up secretions from the mouth, so only rarely does this become a serious impedi- ment. .Q Following surgery, what causes extreme and prolonged rhythmic spasms, or the "dry heaves," as it is called? A. Relaxation of the colon and the "dry heaves" are Na- ture's way of trying to get rid of the gas. The condition is more likely to occur after sur- gery on the intestinal tract. Giving oxygen at termination of « anesthesia tends to lessen the heaves. Q. What causes the back of jaws to be swollen so you can't open them more than a fraction of an inch? A. Sore throat is very com- mon, due to irritation of the anesthetic or the intra-tracheal tube. When the jaws are cramped or have spasm, it is usually the result of keeping the mouth open during the anes- thetic period. 'This is but an oc- casional annoyance, It passes in a day or two, but I agree that it is unpleasant. Maybe someone someday can find a way of avoiding this in all cases, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 18, First pictures: of the far side of the moon were shown. from the Soviet. satel- lite Lunik III four years ago today--in 1959. They had been taken Oct. 6 as the satellite passed behind the moon but were not trans- mitted until the satellite be- gan its return journey. A Russian scintist said the geographical features of the moon's hidden side are more "monotonous"' than on the side visible from earth. 1921--The U.S. Senate rat- ified a.peace treaty with Germany. 1941 -- Prime Minister Mackenzie King -announced a ceiling on wages and ces, .Q Why is glucose given fol- lowing surgery? A. Some patients, either be- cause of the nature of the sur- gery or because of nausea can- not take anything by mouth at first. Glucose is a means of painless feeding. It flows drop by drop into a vein. Vitamins can also be given this way. In special cases, medications, too. .Q What causes veins to col- lapse, what is the result? A, A decline in blood pres- sure. It's a problem when we must 'find a vein" for intra- venous infusions. Q. Is temperature usually ele- vated a degree or two for a day or so after surgery? A. Usually. Generally this is the result of absorption of blood and tissue juices. It can and does occur when no infection is present. Sucha rise in temper- ature is common for the first 24 or 48 hours, and no cause for alarm. This concludes Mrs, E.W.H.'s questions on anesthesia, and while my answers have only scratched the surface, I hope they have provided a better un- derstanding of the subject. An- esthesia is s;uch more effective today, much more precise, and a great deal more complicated to administer, than it was only 10 years ago. European Airways an extra $3,000,000 next year, while the cost to British Overseas Air- ways will go up by $615,000. MAY BOOST FARES It is considered likely that these increased costs to the air- lines will result in an increase in fares to passengers. This '1- crease may well wipe out the saving to passengers by the abo- lition of the individual airport service charge. But there will be some benefit to the tax- payers. According to the air ministry, the cost of its technical avia- tion services next year will be $27 million. Of this, $17,700,000 will be paid by the taxpayers, but this will be $2,100,000 less than the $19,800,000 payable from taxation in the present year. In announcing these revisions of charges, the air ministry gave a strong hint that there might well be higher charges to come. The aim of the ministry is to make air transport pay its own way, so far as the use of the airports is concerned, There will, however, be no levy for navigational services along route, A new air traffic control system which will cost about $300 million is being evolved. When this is adopted, much of the cost must be charged to the airlnes if the policy of making the technical services pay for themselves is followed by the ministry, ADDITIONAL CHARGES The amounts which other air- lines will have to pay, in addi- tion to the present scale of charges for use of airport facil- ities, are detailed as follows: Foreign airlines on short and medium distance routes, $1,500,- 000; foreign long distance routes $522,000. British independent airl'nes on internal routes, $258,000; on short and medium international routes, $366,000; on long inter- national routes, $30,000. The airlines were taken com- pletely by surprise by the min- istry's ennouncement, BEA of- ficials said that it came 'as a bombshell". They said they were astonished that the air ministry should have made the announcement publicly without having consulted or told the company. BEA's additional ex- pense of about $3,000,000 a year would mean that this corpor- ation would bear more than half the extra revenue coming from the increased charges. It would almost exactly absorb the profit which the company expected to eam during its next financial year. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO October Mrs. A. J. Stalter was the Oshawa representative at the 5lst Provincial WCTU conven- tion held in Toronto. Whitby High School won 'the Bassett Trophy for inter-school track and field competicion with Oshawa and Bowmanville High Schools. The Board of Education an- hounced that a technical school would be added to the Oshawa Collegiate at a cost of $200,000. Grand Chancellor Ramsay paid an official visit to Oshawa Knights of Pythias Lodge. The 50th anniversary of Osh- awa incorporated as a town was celebrated at the Four Corners, now the intersection of King and Simcoe streets. The population of the town was given as 4,200 at incorporation, and W. H. Gibbs was elected the first mayor. Gordon D. Conant was elect- ed to the executive council of the . Crtario .

The Chamber of Com- merce also took part in this first broadcast about Oshawa. Rev. C. E. Cragg; pastor of King Street United Churen, an- nounced the formation of a jun- ior congregation which would meet during the morning wor- ship on Sundays. Fred Lycett joined the teach- ing staff of the new Ritson Road Public School. A torch light procession with bands greeted the victorious General Motors !acrosse team who defeated Brampton to win the senior lacrosse champion- ship of Ontario. THAN Dear Sir: You are to be commended for the particular role you are dis- playing regarding the French- Canadian issue. I have never seen or heard a biased opinion in your edi- torials. I am also pleased to see an occasional article in French @nd read your new French comic strip. Good work. --GERALD MORIN Oshawa AFRAID OF WHIMPERS Dear Sir: Having read "Cass Takea to Task" ... "Self-serving inter- esis" in our case are the vote- conscious politicians who, hav- _ ing not heard from 'ess vocal' groups (law abiding motorists), must fear loss of votes from the whining traffic offenders who whimper about the small fines which are imposed, ; Politicians also fear the effect on the tourist industry if the whining traffic offender from the south is too vocal. The American traffic laws are much more effective and all offences are arrestable,' and a Canadian would be wasting his time com- plaining to State officials. Many police officers, working under the political res S, believe that the idea "Accidents make jobs for Canadians"' is rel- evant (tow trucks, ambulances, vehicle repairs and repiace- ment, hospitals, nurses, doctors, etc., etc.). It is a sicken'ng thought that children's lives are for jobs for votes. D. E. JORDAN Whitby 'CALL IT CRYING' Dear Sir: As a Beaver flies, it is about 50 miles due northeast of Sault Ste.

In the first instance, at least, the legislation has been upheld (at time of writing it hasn't been decided whether the dis- sident growers will appeal). The courts, however, have not had before them the key issue. They have not yet been asked to decide whether the legisla- tion is constitutional--that is whether government has the right to tell a.man what he can grow in his ground. The lawyer for the dissidents didn't include this question in his case--possibly to keep it as an ace in the hole for further action. EASTVIEW MYSTERY The most recent development in the Eastview case is a most strange one. The minister of municipal af- fairs, Hon. J. W. Spooner, has confirmed that Volume 15 of the evidence somehow or other came up missing in all three copies of the official transcript" which were printed. It was lost out of the depart- ment's own copy. It also was missing out of a copy returned by the attorney-general's de- partment--which had held it for more than two years. And it also apparently was lost. out of a copy held by the city of Eastview. And the mystery of these missing copies is one that may never be solved. Mr. Spooner had no explana- tion as to what had happened to the copies, though he did point out that in the case of his departmental copy it was open to public inspection and quite easily might have been li'ted out of the file. i Further, he showed no incli- nation to go into the matter any further, In fact he seemed to resent that it had been brought up--by the Liberals during the election campaign -- and particularly that it had been reported prom- inently in the press. He seemed to think that the fact the record had always been available from the official stenographer's notes excused everything. Opposition members unques- tionably will try and make an issue of the matter. But if the government is adamant they won't get far--and from Mr. Spooner's attitude one would gather it probably will be. The public probably wil re- main curious. 30 DAYS OVERSEAS (OCT. Ist -- MAR.

Findlay, Ohio, TRUCK RECORD Dear Sir: There is very little available on the early history and use of trucks in Canada With the ultimate object of pate. er 'ear, a pictorial history of the development of truck use, we are anxious to secure photos of early trucks and tractor-trailer equipment operated in Canada. Pictures loaned to us, which are considered suitable for the historical record; will be copied together with an We appeal to truck owners and allied trades for their assist- ance in helping us to develop the collection of "old timers." Copies of old advertising (prior to 1926), whether for local or highway services, are also urgently required. Material in the form of stories, articles or press releases on the early days of truck use would also be welcome. Up to the time of writing we have received close to 100 photos from truck owners in Quebec, Manitoba, British Col- umbia and Ontario. If you have no personal knowl- edge of "oldies", we'd appre- ciate your making our interest known to others who may be able to contribute to the lore of trucking's early days.
