) She Osharon Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited . 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Canada's Big Interest In Trade Negotiations As Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp pointed out in a weekend speech, the so-called "Kennedy Round" of GATT negotiations beginning next month could be the most important held in the postwar period, for Can- ada and for the world trading com- munity. Canada must export or decline; we still do not have a domestic mar- ket large enough to support grow- ing primary and secondary manu- factures. At the same time, Cana- dians are, per capita, the world's greatest importers, Last year our merchandise exports reached an all- time high of $7 billion, 11 per cent greater than in 1962, and our mer- chandise trade surplus tripled from $155 million in 1962 to $484 million in 1963. But our deficit on 'non- merchandise transactions, which include such items as interest and dividends, still amounted to $1 bil- lion. Our trade success reduced this, so that the total current account deficit was only one-third of the peak imbalance of 1959. But it is obvious that we have to sell, and sell a great deal, to keep the im- balance from forcing us into import restrictions. Our best customer is the United States -- but most of our imports come from the United States. The Kennedy Round presents the possi- bility of substantial reductions in the rates of duty on thousands of U.S. dutiable items. This alone makes the negotations of the great- est importance to Canada. Another Travel Danger One of the signs of spring is the increasing number of hitch-hikers on the roads. And with the increase in hitch-hikers comes the inevitable increase in the number of motorists slugged, robbed or otherwise moles- ted by the persons they pick up. Police and automobile associa- tions must be weary of warning drivers against giving lifts to per- sons they don't know. One associa- tion has a slogan: "Thumbs down on thumbers." A police officer said the other day: "It is a continuing danger to unwary motorists. Every year there are more travellers, more cars, more trouble and every year the coming of good weather signals the increase in incidents involving hitch-hikers." But soft-hearted -- or soft-head- ed -- motorists continue to pick up strangers beside the road. So the advice needs to be repeated: Don't gamble on hitchhiker. The thumbing practice is one of the nuisance of the roadside and many a would-be Good Samaritan has ended up without his cash or with- out his car. Worse, in some cases drivers have. been. badly beaten or murdered, Abolition Of Nuisance Soviet officials at the World Trade Conference have shown once more that they know full well how to make the most of every oppor- tunity for purposes of political pro- paganda. Announcement that the Soviet Union will as of January 1, 1965, abolish all tariffs on imports from the under-developed countries is a case in point. At first glance, it would appear that the Russians are offering the developing nations a substantial ad- vantage. Yet it must be remembered that in a state controlled, Com- munist society where government agencies do all the importing that's to be done, tariff barriers don't serve the normal function of pro- tecting the competitive position of domestic industry. It follows, therefore, that all the Soviet Union is really offering the underdeveloped. countries is the abolition of what amounts to a nuisance or revenue tax. Increased importations, if they take place, will presumably be based on Soviet needs for the goods or materials in question; it will not happen simply because the underdeveloped coun- tries have been allowed to become inherently more competitive in the Soviet market. New Kind Of Pirate British officialdom is confronted with a galling radio problem. A "pirate" commercial radio station operates from a ship anchored just off the British .coast, since the "pirate" is outside territorial waters, it and its broadcasts are immune of British (or for that mat- ter, anybody else's) regulations. "This immunity", says The Eco- nomist, "is galling to an extra- ordinarily number of people; dedi- cated officials who cannot bear any- thing unofficial; musicians who see the endless playing of records and a consequent dwindling their own work; official broadcasting bodies who do not relish this sort of com- petition; and the Post Office which sees its sovereignty infringed". The paper scorns what it calls "the itch for legislation" against the radio pirate which is being advo- he Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.. GWYN.

Other Editors' Views SILENCE FIRST (Vancouver Province) As our nuclear-age scientists look for new worlds to conquer, they seem to be ignoring an annoying problem that ought to be simple compared to making a spaceship: Noise, How is it that minds capable of planning man's flight to the moon cannot -- or will not -- devise a way of adequately muffling a truck's engine? Are the technicians who produced color television and the electronic brain not able to quiet the rever- berations of a noisy motorcycle? Bible Thought Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Obadiah 1:4. Though someone has said "The moon is at your doorstep," the stars are still far remote from the efforts of man. Should they reached, however, God will still be there to be reckoned with.

Correspondence For The Oshawa Times LONDON While British farmers generally are well pleased with the result of the 1964 annual price review made by the ministry of agriculture, they are not nearly so happy about an agreement which has just been concluded -by the gov- ernment, setting quotas for Brit- ain's supply of bacon for the next five years. The agreement, fixing the amounts of bacon to be supplied by the home farmers, and the quotas to be imported, was sign- ed as the result of a conference of the British agriculture min- istry officials and those of seven countries involved in supplying bacon to the British market. Because the British farmers do not produce nearly enough pigs to meet the home demand for bacon over 60 per cent of all the bacon consumed in Britain in the next five years will come from European sources. HIGH DANISH QUOTA As a result of the agreement, Denmark has been given the right to supply 47 per cent of all the bacon consumed in Brit- ain for the next five years. The quota which has been allotted to the British farmers is 36.5 per cent. The agreement signed by the seven countries participating was made by the minister of agriculture, Christopher Soames, son-in-law of Sir Win- ston Churchill, in a bid to re- duce the government's expendi- tures on bacon subsidies, cais- ed through prices being under- mined by surpluses sent to this country from Europe at cut prices. The minimum quantity which it proposed should supply the needs of the British market from all sources has been fixed at 615,000 tons a year. Out of this, the share supplied by Dan- ish producers will be 286,500 tons a year.The British farmers have been given an allocation of 222,400 tons. According to the ministry of agriculture, how- ever, the home farmers' share is 6,400 toms more than they provided last year. The chances of Britain's farm- ers increasing their share of the GALLUP POLL home market, however, are slight, Under the agreement, if there is an increase in the de- mand in the home market, over- seas countries are given the right to supply more bacon. in proportion to the increase 'in home output. For instance, if British consumers eat 5600 tons extra, Denmark will still be given the right to supply most of the extra quantity. In these YOUR HEALTH first 5600 tons, 2700 tons would come from Denmark against 2100 tons from home production and smailer quantities from oth- er countries. The agreement, which was signed by Poland, Denmark, Ire- land, Holland, Sweden, Yug- slavia and Hungary, is the first of a series which the govern- ment is endeavoring to make with overseas food suppliers to reduce the annual bill for food subsidies, which is expected to be over $900,000,000 for the fiscal year which ended on March 31. A similar arrangement is al- ready in operation for butter, and within the next few weeks, it is expected, another will be completed which will vitally af- fect Canadian farmers. It will cover imports to Britain of wheat and barley. Heart 'Leak' Due To Faulty Valve By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Years ago I was told I had a leaking heart. Exactly what is this and what can be done about it?-- FB ' Some of the adjectives ap- plied to medical conditions sound awful, and are not to be interpreted in the usual sense of the words. Yours is one of them. We ordinarily think of a "leak" as an escape of the con- tents--a leaky hot water bottle or garden hose, or a punctured tire. This is not the case with the heart. The "leak" doesn't mean that blood is escaping from the heart. If you were able to look directly at the heart, the "leak" wouldn't be either seen or felt. It can be heard with a stetho- scope, however, as a_ certain type of murmur. Remember that the heart is a pump. It is divided into four chambers, and each time the heart muscle contracts, blood is squeezed along from' one chamber to the next, through valves which connect the cham- bers, These are one-way valves. The blood has to move forward, because the valves open in only one direction. Normally, that is. But suppose one or more of the valves won't close tightly. Then, although most of the blood will. still move forward, a little of it can slip backward again. This is the "leak." Johnson Maintains Big Lead In Popular Favor By AMERICAN INSTITUE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) President Lyndon Johnson's popularity continues at a high level with 77 per cent of the people approving the way he is handling his job. Nine. per cent disapprove and 14 per cent have no opinion. In terms of party loyalty, Mr. Johnson, as a Democratic Presi- dent, enjoys a great advantage. Forty nine per cent of voters classify thenffelves as Demo- crats; 27 per cent as Republi- cans; and 24 per cent as Inde- pendents, Even local Republican leaders across the U.S. show. a lack of confidence in a Republican vic- tory next Novemb~r. Among the party '"'Pros" Richard Nixon is named as the only possible con- tender to beat Johnson. But even here, opinion is closely di- vided. On two vital issues -- "keep- ing the country prosperous" and "keeping the U.S out of war' the Democrats lead over the Republicans by more than two-to-one as best party for these purposes. It is predicted that the factor which can affect President John- son's popularity more than any- thing else, in the coming weeks, is the Civil Rights issue. How much of his popularity can he maintain in the South, wit- out alienating the liberal p'\. integre 'ion groups in the Nor ? That'i; the question. At this time 37 per cent of those who say they are Demo- crais .want. Attorney General Robert Kennedy as_ vice-presi- dent; 25 per cent name Adlai Stevenson; and 11 per cent sug- best others. : Or, of course, there may be a small aperture in one of the interior walls which separate one chamber from another. That also would allow a certain amount of flow in the wrong direction. The consequences? Well, the heart thus loses some of its ef- ficiency, Whether this is much or little depends on the location and size of the 'leak." If it is severe, then the heart will have to work considerably harder than normal to pump the same amount of blood for you. If the leak is small, the effect on you is minor. There is no medication to cor- rect such leaks. However, either type of leak (in a valve or in one of the partitions) ofnte can be cor- rected by surgery, if it is se- vere enough. That is the "open heart surgery" which we now hear so much about. If a valve has been affected by rheumatic fever (one of the important causes of such dam- age) prophylactic doses of peni- cillin or sulfa drugs may be given over a period of years to subdue any subsequent stepto- coccus infections (these are the germs which cause rheumatic fever) and prevent further in- flammation and damage to the valves. And, as with anything else, the familiar ounce of prevention is worth the pound of cure. If, in your case, the leak was from rheumatic fever, your doctor can judge whether these pre- ventive drugs will be a safe- OTTAWA REPORT Business Circles Discuss Coalition By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA--To the widespread anxiety aroused by the Quebec situation, there has now been added sincere alarm in business circles about the stalled opera- tion of government. The pro- ceedings of Parli t have been degraded, by governmen- tal indecision and by opposition obstruction, to the worst level of tortoise pace and public scorn jae anyone here can remem- er, The nation's business is just not being transacted, Yet there is universal opposi- tion to what would be the third election within two years. Such an election would almost cer- tainly yield yet another weak minority government, and could split the country. In 'business circles, which rank Canada before party, there is a seeking for another solution to Parliament Hill's present im- passe, R. N. Thompson and his So- cial Credit followers have clearly established their posi- tion, as rating the nationalin- terest before narrow partisan advantage. So it was no mere chance that Bob Thompson let fal] the hint of the solution which is now being canvassed in. those business circles: not another election, but a merger of like-minded patriotic MPs in the present Parliament who could give majority strength to a truly "national" government. COALITION FAVORED In times of crisis, democra- tic parliaments have often sought strength through coali- READERS' VIEWS WARD SYSTEM Dear Sir: I heartily agree with Jack Gearin's idea about an open forum on the Ward System. It should stimulate some interest in our municipal affairs which is so lacking in this city. Furthermore I think the pleb- iscite should be held before the election so that whatever the people want can be put into effect at the next election. City council has no right to play around with the wishes of the people for another two years if it should be that the public de- sire the ward system. Our Mayor has expressed his opinions on the matter of the Ward system and I think our council would do well to get busy on this issue at the ear- liest possible moment. ROBERT E. WILSON Oshawa. tion. Such crises have tended to be caused by war; but Canada today is struggling for survival as surely as if she were ringed by enemy nations. There is no reason, of tradition or procedure or doctrine, why such a coali- tion government should not be formed today, from among many MPs who are divided by party label rather than by their benefits. Everything but short- sighted partisan interest dic- tates such a course today. Who would lead a "Cana- dian" government, and whom would he lead? The talk here indicates impatience with Mr. Pearson's indecisiveness; past events have revealed Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker"s sim- ilar inffectualness in the big moments. With good reason it is generally considered that the majority of MPs today are act- ing like a pretty poor lot; but there is admirable ability and patriotic wisdom in the House, although sometimes tempered by inexperience, One possible leader is cer- tainly Hon. Paul Martin, who has behind him a long political career with success and stature deservedly attained. He covered himself with glory in the recent Cyprus crisis, and has interna- tional fame dating from his work at the United Nations in 1955. His record in government and domestic politics ranks equally high, his sole black QUEEN'S PARK mark ve: his intensely parti- san and disruptive tactics dur- ing the Diefenbaker regime -- which he would argue were jus- tified by the need to unseat Mr. dD, GREAT ADVANTAGE It is significant that Mr. D. recently commented privyately that the prime ministership will , soon fall like a ripe plum into Paul Martin's lap. He would have the great advantage today Of being respected by French- Canada and by unhyphenated Canada alike. Another name being men- - tioned is Premier Manning of Alberta, Canada's senior provin- cial premier, who has built up a praiseworthy record of 21 years of good government, He would play a valuable role in any backstage negotiations, even if he did not personally emerge onto centre stage. Tommy Douglas, NDP leader, . has brushed aside talk of a na- tional government, But he would be embarrassed to know how many of his followers would join that standard, The same applies to many dissatisfied Lib- erals, and to the predominant rebel faction of Tories. The: situation in Canada calls for legislative steps which would not always be immediately pop- ular -- hence no single party could afford to take them--and thus sign its own electoral death warrant. But a national govern- ment could initiate such "Cam ada-first" policies. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A woman with children never runs out of something to talk about, but she runs out of lis- teners, 3 Estimates Getting Sharper Attention BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Sudbury Liberal Elmer Sopha made a keen ob- servation during debate on wel- faree stimates. Mr. Sopha gave warning to the government that it probably could expect more trouble in getting its estimates through over the next few years than it had experienced in the past. And the reason for this, the member said, was that opposi- tion members were giving more analytical criticism to govern- ment policies than they had in former years. And this certainly seems to be true. The opposition is going deeper. Thus, on these welfare esti- mates, they were going into basic beliefs.

A large anchor in front of the Oshawa Yacht Club's new build- ing at the harbor was the sub- ject of much controversy as to its origin. It had been salvaged What was the government's thinking on doing away with poverty? Did it not feel there should be more constructive ef- fort to help people on relief re- habilitate themselves? Shoul welfare not be granted on the basis of need rather than set schedules of payments? In other years you did not hear this type of inquiry. The typical question then was why did the government not give an additional $5 to pension- ers, or why did it not hire more workers? The questions typically were on detail rather than principle, BETTER GOVERNMENT This new approach is more time-consuming. Instead of the customary few hours, it took the welfare estimates four full sit- tings to get through the House. Because of this there will be some objections by government members. But the development actually {s encouraging. For one thing it should stim- ulate the government. It is very easy for a govern- ment as strongly entrenched as this one to coast along and do little more than an administra- tive job. There are many administra- tive details to be tackled and a government can be so busy handling them that principle and development of policy can be overlooked. You might say it can stop thinking. But if an opposition is con- stantly drumming away at it on basic questions it has to offer some reply. And to form a reply it must think about the questions con- cerned--and in turn develop new policies. Which makes for more gressive government. All pro from the lake by bers of the club.
