The Turks wanted the island split into two nationalistic and political commu- nities, with theirs tied loosely to Turkey, which lies only. 40 miles away. The Greeks are Christians and outnumber the Moslem Turks about 4 to 1. The agreement which brought independence included a verge, as in 1958, of - tions and are threatening reprisals.

Why" might ask, is it necessary for the Canadian taxpayers to sup- pM oa ambassador in mbhassa ce," Mr. Pearson replied. He referred to Monsieur Pierre Dupuy, who was appointed am- bassador to France five years ago; who passed the normal re- tirement age of 65 two years ago; and who was appointed commissioner - general of the world fair in Montreal several months ago. Since then, he has been working for the fair but remains on the taxpayers'. pay- roll as ambassador to France. And that is where the cat slipped out. Our relationship with France is as good as when marked ; "We have no important work how; we are only letter-car- riers."' Canadian governments: have been living beyond their finan- cial means for several years past, and for even longer they have been costing the taxpayer more than he need pay or wants to pay in taxes. Our diplomatic apparatus is a classic example of just how wantonly our taxes are wasted. Ten years , we maintained diplomatic m in 31 for- eign capitals, with a total diplo- matic staff of 1,325 bodies cost- ing $8,560,000 a. year. This year our brief-case boys have swol- len to 2,350 in 72 foreign mis- sions costing $20,875,800. Our embassy in France, for ex- ample, is staffeg by an army of 70 diplomats, including the absentee ambassador, costing $785,427) NEED TRADE PROMOTERS Many of the diplomatic posts we maintain abroad are mere flim-flam, "keeping up with the Joneses." As far as diplomacy + achronistic as the bow arid ar- row, They could mostly be re- placed effectively by an aggres- sive trade commissioner. But they have grown and are still growing, like gold-plated mushrooms.

If foreign investors sup- plied $50 million for a new pulp mill, said Mr. Kierans, they might expect a return of $1 million a year in dividends, But a $50 mil- lion pulp mill would directly em- ploy 1,500 persons and many hun- dreds more indirectly ; it might pay $10 million annually in wages and salaries, purchase $15 million of raw materials and services, add $35 million to the country's total annual output, and pay $3 million in taxes. ' Another critic of Ottawa's policy is Robert Macaulay, former On- tario economics and development minister. It is unfair, said Mr. Macaulay, to "penalize past invest- ments which entered Canada under the reasonable assumption that this country wanted Amerigan invest- ment." This country's proper course, he added, is not to penalize or discourage foreign investment, but! to devise methods to reduce our dependence on foreign capital. The tax penalty is a negative policy. A positive policy would be for Ottawa to permit and encour- age personal and business savings so that Canadians themsélves could meet more of the country's capital needs, ' Won By Villagers By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Corresponfent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--The battle between the preservation of ancient amenities and traditions and the onward march of modern pro- gress, as seen in new building developments, is being waged with undiminished vigor in many parts of England. And it is surprising to note how often the minister of housing and local government takes the side of the lovers of the unspoiled English countryside and forbids new de- velopments which might mar its beauty. A case in point is that of the village of Havering, in Essex. The residents of that village just won a battle to preserve the rural atmosphere of their tiny village. The minister of housing has decided that the village will remain unspoiled, and the residents are rejoicing. OBJECTED TO CHANGE The story of this fight in Havering is worth relating in detail. It began about a year ago when a local land owner, Elliot Heap, proposed to de- molish four cottages to make way for twelve apartments and garages. First to object were the councillors of Romford, of which Havering is a part: They argued that the site occupied a prominent place facing the vil- lage green, and that the new buildings would clash with the existing properties there. Local people jsined Romford Council to make a protest to the ministry of housing. The vil- lagers said th plan' would de- stroy the peace and quiet of their rural life, "Mr. Heap. wanted to build apartments two and three stor- eys high. APPEAL TO MINISTRY Mr: Heap made an appeal to 'the ministry and a public in- quiry was held,.at which both sdes were heard. The government inspector who conducted the inquiry reported that while apartments, if suit- ably designed, were not neces- sarily inappropriate to a village like Havering, the proposed site was unsuitable. The minister confitmed that the cottages which were to be demolished were on high ground in a prominent position. He con- sidered that to develop it at high density would present a congested appearance, out of character with the open nature of the immediate surroundings, VICAR PLEASED Phe Vicar of Havering, the Rev. Joseph Coffee, comment- ing on the ministry's decision, said: "T am pleased to hear the minister's decision and feel that the people of this parish will agree with it. The rural tran- quility of Havering: retains the essential basic simplicity of the English way of life, and re- flects the beauty of the English countryside." One of the men most pleased at the decision is Albert Row- land, the village postman, black- smith and grave digger, He was born in one of the cottages which was to have been de molished and has lived there all of his 67 years, He declared he was~delightec that he would not have to leave the house in which he was born.
