-- =e Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario _ T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, APRIL 27, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Compromise Does Not Solve Basic The compromise worked out. by Prime Minister Pearson on the pension plan and tax-sharing ar- rangements with the provinces was both wise and necessary, It averted @ very real threat to the unity of the nation. But it must not be for- gotten that it is a compromise father than a solution, and that the fundamental problems which led to the working out of the compromise remain to be dealt with. - It may well be that compromise rather than solution will always be the pattern for federal-provincial re- lations; it is the Canadian pattern, perhaps the Canadian geriius. But it is difficult to see how there can be an indefinite avoidance of a firmer arrangement in the fiscal field, unless Canadians are pre- pared to tax themselves out of existence. incial premiers are very pleased with the new tax deal. They ought to be -- they get the Problems money without having to worry about where it is coming from, But no matter which way you look at it, $200 million will have to come out of federal revenues, which means that the federal governmént has this choice: To cut spending by an equivalent amount; to add the amount to the deficit; to raise taxes to make it up. Governments are chronically incapable of cutting expenditure; the deficit is already far too high. That leaves taxation -- and Canadian tax levels are al- ready at the danger. point. The report of the Royal Commis- sion on Taxation 'is expected later this year. It may -- and should -- offer some possibilities of thorough reorganization of the Canadian tax structure, with relation to the res- ponsibilities of municipal, provincial and federal governments. Let us hope so. Canada can be destroyed by political and economic Balkaniza- tion. It can also be destroyed by over-taxation. Home-Built Barriers A successful young Canadian businessman, Ronald D. Southern, gays in the Financial Post that "we find it more difficult to sell today in some of Canada's provinces than in such countries as Algeria and Venezuela. Certainly it is more difficult to sell in Canada than in any of the states of the U.S." Mr. Southern's company, Alberta Trailer Co., has built sales in 15 years to an annual level of $30 mil- lion, selling: more than 70 per cent of its products in foreign markets ranging from Alaska to Sumatra. The Financial. Post comments: "Southern, like many other busi- nessmen in Canada, is deeply con- cerned and increasingly angry with the growing tendency of provincial and muncipal governments to push more and more business to local suppliers. Some governments... are willing to. pay as much as 12° per cent more for locally produced goods." ; What provinces and municipal- ities are doing, in effect, is raising tariff barriers. They are pursuing the sort of policy urged on the federal. government by those who want Canadian manufactures fully protected from foreign competition. We carried the views of one defen- der of tariffs in this space just a few days ago. He made a strong case, but we have to come back to this fact of economic life in Canada: We must trade to survive, and we cannot expect to trade if we keep our tariff barriers up while other nations are lowering theirs. Just as it does not make sense . to put further limits or restrictions on the domestic market area --.as pome provinces and municipalities do -- it makes no sense to trim our national production to the size of the domestic market, when to provide jobs for our growing labor force we .need more industries capable of long. production runs. -- and therefore lower unit costs -- which™tan compete in world mar- kets. Steps Towards Peace The cutback in the manufacture of nuclear materials announced by the United States and the Soviet Union is another small but reassur- ing step on the long joutney to peace. The timing would indicate that President Johnson and Premier Khrushchev had discussed it with each other, and that too is reassur- ing evidence that the two leaders are in correspondence on mutual problems. Both President Johnson and Premier Khrushchevstressed thé need for relaxing international ten- sions in announcing the nuclear material cutback. But each made it plain that the basic strength of their respective nations was not affected. This was, then, most of all recognition that controls must come and an expression of willing- ness to work toward that end. The mutual cutbacks, of course, are not accompanied by an essential to any real nuclear controls and dis- armament -- inspection to assure She Oshawa Times " T. L, WILSON, Publisher .C.

That fact has already brought the US. critics of any "deals" with Russia on the run in full cry. They had the same criticism of the nuclear test ban agreement, even though most nuclear tests are sub- ject to' check without on the spot inspection. The fact is that, as President Johnson said, the cut- back to be made will still assure "all necessary power" for the na- tional security of the United States. Suspicion lies at the root of much of the cold war. Some of it is justi- fied and it will continue. But if the world is to become safer, the na- tions -- and most particularly the United States and Russia -- must 'find ways to assure each other of mutual concern with control of arms and nuclear power. ' Other Editors' Views UNWARRANTED CENSURE (Peterborough Examiner) It has become fashionable for members of legislatures around the continent to condemn thé behav- iour of Elizabeth Taylor and Rich- ard Burton as immoral. This un- warranted reference to the private lives of citizens suggsts that legis- Jatures have a particularly shallow idea of morality. It extends into- obvious places but when real im- morality -- the political kind that effects thousands and sometimes millions of people -- abounds, they become strangely myopic. It is un- a legislature, which en- joys a special privilege in its public expressions, to single out any per- son for censure. It is an abuse to do so and we thoroughly deplore both the motive and the result. ) WIPING AWAY PERSPIRATION AFTER, BLAST FROM OPPOSITION BENCHES oops! "The LEApence "He OpPosrTion STEPPED . OUT OF THe BATTERS Box 7 REPORT FROM U.K. Britain Outstrips Euromart Growth By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Evidence that General de Gaulle may have done Britain a good turn, in- dustrially and economically, when he slammed the door of the Common Market,' in Brit- ain's face, is found in a report which has been issued by the European Economic Commis- sion, governing body of the Common Market. This report YOUR HEALTH gives a forecast of the economic prospects for the next year. It predicts that the economy of Britain. will-.grow faster than that of any country in Western Europe. This expansion, it says, will be sound. It will be rooted in greater productivity, stable labor costs and prices and a growing rate of investment. This sound growth of Britain economy will take place, it is predicted, at a time when some of the countries in the Common Weight Is Worry Not Cholesterol By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Has it been established whether eggs should not be eaten by a person on a low-cholesterol diet?--Mrs. S.T, This cholesterol business is important, but it has to be con- sidered in reasonable fashion. Let me put it this way. In driving a car, we know that in many cases "speed kills." Just going slow doesn't necessarily mean safety, Many accidents are caused by the "safe" driver who self - righteously dawdles along at 25 miles an hour 'on an expressway designed for 60 miles an hour. Poking. along is dangerous, too. Well, that's how it is with cholesterol. Everybody has cho- lesterol in the blood. It is a use- ful, necessary material. If you didn't have enough you would be in sad shape. But if you have too much, that may be bad, too. That's one part of the story. Now here's another. You don't get all your cholesterol from cholesterol in your food. Your body manufactures cholesterol from-_other foods you eat. Rab- bits, for example, eat veget- ables, which are low in choles- terol, Yet their bodies take the grass, lettuce, carrots and so on, and create cholesterol, So now, how about eggs? They are high in cholesterol. Or, at any rate, the yolks are, Yet only a small proportion of this chol- esterol is absorbed by the body. A person need not fret about eating any reasonable quantity of eggs. What you should worry about is your complete diet. If you are gaining weight, or if you "are overweight and not losing, you ought to be concerned about it--especially if you have a high blood cholesterol. Spaghetti, or candy, or soft drinks, or peanut butter sand- wiches or many other things may not contain much choles- terol, but if you eat more of any kind of food than you need, the result will be high fat content in your system. Your body will convert some of this to choles- terol. In short, I think it would be a good idea if people forgot all about cholesterol -- if, that is, everybody would pay honest at- tention to total weight. You can't eat enough of any- thing to get fat without having too much cholesterol as a re- sult, if you are one of the people who has to control: the~choles- terol level, | A "'low-cholesterol diet" is es sentially a diet low in animai fat, and low in total calories. 'Trying to find "low cholesterol foods" doesn't do you a bit of good if you eat too much of them. Eat eggs, drink milk, eat but- ter, and don't worry about the cholesterol, provided you aren't overweight, But if you are - overweight, don't blame it on eggs or any other kind of food. Blame it on eating too much. Dear Dr. Molner: Is there something wrong when the stoul is black? Or greenish-black? I am 64 and have not felt up to par in recent months. I have pains in the upper part of my stomach, chest and back. I am not-fat, but I went on a diet of greens to see if I could get rid of stomach bloat. I lost five pounds but it didn't do much for my stomach. I am five feet de and weigh 155.--MRS, Some foods, especially those containing iron, can cause the stool to be black, so the diet of greens might (or, might not) be the cause in your case. If the blackish color is present when you eat an ordinary diet, report this fact to your doctor at once. Bleeding in the upper intestinal tract can cause this color. The symptom should not be ignored. (Incidentally, a 'diet of greens" is not well-balanced, hertce not the bets way--to lose weight safely.) "i wa . GALLUP POLL ilies MOUND Market will be having economic difficulties and will be wrestling wit! inflation. BRITAIN GAINING The EEC report points out that Britain has been gaining on the Common Market countries throughout 1963. There was a marked acceleration of nearly three per cent in the British economy by the end of the year. In France, Italy and Germany. there was a slowing down in the rise of production and this will continue in 1964 so that by the end of this year Britain will be at the head of the list. In France and Italy the slack- ening off was due to 'mounting inflationary pressures', and in West Germany to "a long-term deterioration in conditions favor- ing growth and a weakening of domestic demand". The report predicts that Britain's rate of growth will increase by six per cent, compared. with four per cent in France, four and a half per cent in Western Germany and five per cent in Italy. During this period of growing boom, Britain showed 'an in- crease of only two per cent in the cost of living -- the lowest rise in Western Europe. The cost of living in France and Italy rose to even""preater heights than was feared in the commission's report of a year ago, by six per cent and eight per cent respectively. In Brit- ain, output per man rose by five and .a half per cent, and wage costs went down by two per cent. NOTE ON STEEL An interesting note on steel production appears in the re- port. Production of steel in Western Europe in 1963 was three per cent above the level of 1962. But this expansion was largely concentrated on the United Kingdom, which account: ed for two-thirds of this in- crease. Total steel production of the European Coal and Steel Community rose from 73 million to 73.2 million tons, an increase of only 200,000. In Britain, steel production rose from 20.8 mil- lion tons to 23.9 million tons, an increase of 2;100,000 tons. In automobile production, Britain had the highest percen- tage increase over 1962, amounting to 29 per cent. Italy came next with 26 per cent in- crease, while in France and West Germany, the rise was 14 per cent. Taking all these factors into consideration, it would appear that Britain is doing much better by staying out of the Common Market than the coun- tries which are partners in it. Labor Party Maintains . Margin Over Opponents By THE BRITISH INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Latest Gallup Poll survey of the Brilish political scene shows the Labor party ahead by 9 per cent over the Conservative party. This is a slight improve- ment for the Conservatives who were 13 per cent behind Labor in the previous 'poll. Today 33 per cent of the peo- ple would vote Conservative; 43 per. cent Labor; 10 per cent Liberal; and the rest are still undecided. Opinion divides closely in ap- proval of 'Sir Alec Douglas- Home as prime minister -- 40 per cent are satisfied with his leadership; 32 are not. On the other hand, Harold Wilson has a .commanding lead of about four to one in approval for his work as leader of the Labor party -- 62 per cent approve, 17 Per cent do not approve of 'his | leadership. : More women (37 per cent) than men (31 per cent) say they will vote Conservative in the next election. But even among women 40 per cent indicate a' preference for the Labor party with 48 per cnet of male voters on the side of Labor. In a breakdown of economic classes, seven-in-ten from the upper incomé brackets are still loyal to. the Conservatives while five-in-ten in the lower income brackets favor Labor. There are, of course, many more peo- ple in the lower income brac- kets than in the upper. The question: "If there were.a general elec- tion tomorrow, which party would you support?" Pct.

Typical of these was a "quiz"' of eight questions whieh Murdo Martin, the New Democrat MP for. Timmins, sent to every household in his constityency. In the first 10 days after he mailed these from Parliament Hill, he received about five per cent returned completed. A very large number of the an- swers were accompanied by letters, or by comments writ- ten on the quiz form to amplify the answers given. Some of these were very interesting in- deed. The answers received already probably constitute a fairly reli- able sampling of public opinion in and around Timmins. And these brought some surprises. A substantial majority op- poses lowering the voting age to 18 from. the present age of 21 years; this by more than two to one. A similar margin con- siders that 'French Canada has been fairly: treated under Con- federation." By a narrow mar- gin, the voters of Timmins con- sider that they, as indiivduals, can influence government pol- icy. THE GAMBLERS' DEN?

On returning to Oshawa after spending, seven months away at school, I find that bus serv- ice on the main street has re- cently been restricted to one bus per hour after seven o'clock. Incredible! Surely the pow- ers that be are duty-bound to provide some satisfactory form of public transportation. Since they are obviously not fulfilling this obligation, why does John Citizen quietly accept the situ- ation as inevitable? The city of Kingston, much smaller than Oshawa, has a re- liable system -- 20-minute inter- vals, day and night, What' is wrong with Oshawa? I see more satisfactory serv- ice as essential, especially in a city where a girl cannot stand at the main intersection with- out being all but molested by the multitude of young punks, driving or walking the streets for dubious reasons. , I just don't believe it! LYNDA HIGGINS. Oshawa, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 27, 1964... The 'first conference of delegates from Afro- Asian countries ended at Bandung, Indonesia, nine years ago today--in 1955. The conference, attended by 2,000 delegates and official - visitors, came out in favor of elimination of colonial- ism, independence and self- determination for all peo- ples and membership for alt nations in the United Na- tions. 1934--One prisoner was killed and two others in- jured in rioting at Stoney Mountain Penitentiary in Manitoba. 1959--Liu Shao-chi suc- ceeded Mao Tse-tung as Red China's chief of state, with Mao -retaining chair- manship of the Communist . party. parliament recently hay, ing strikes nea? there, and large numbers of Timminsians 'e@ crowded stockbrokers' of- fices to buy mining stocks. This figures, It fits in neatly with what Murdo Martin's quiz has revealed about their love of a flutter. In reply'to the query: "Do you favor government run sweepstakes?" a sub stantial majority, numbering almost five to one, answered "Yes," Murdo 'Martin showed me the letters he received with his quiz replies, and I picked out partic- izing stream of dollars? I hope that Murdo Martin, in- spired by the replies from his j constituents in Timmins, will + make a determined drive to have sweepstakes legalized in Canada. Films Explain Money System RABAUL (Reuters) -- Thou- sands of primitive natives in the Papua-New Guinea terri- anything ularly perspicacious comment with it on this topic in one letter, whose writer shall remain anonymous, i Referring to the sweepstakes, he replied: . . "Can we, in a country that appears to be rapidly heading for bankruptcy despite just about the world's highest taxes, and in view of the fact that we stand 17th in the world behind Chile in providing for our citi- zens' welfare, afford to disre- gard this source. of income while. our people are eagerly and happily enriching -promot- ers in Ireland and Jamaica and elsewhere, and even worse, fi- nancing the underworld through betting with bookmakers on horse races?" That's straight from the shoulder! There's a man- who could well influence govern- ment policy if he wrote letters as pithy as that to our govern- ment leaders! WHAT PARLIAMENT SAYS Oddly enough, just after that letter reached Ottawa, our House of Commons discussed a private member's bill to legal- ize lotteries, Our puerile politi- cians "talked out" that- bill, largely because the MP who in- troduced it wasted the first 15 minutes on a procedural wran- gle, and then in the balance of the private members hour he interrupted other speakers no less than 23 times with points of order, questions and interjec- tions, provoking retorts. Of course we should have sweepstakes in- Canada. They are "'illegal'"', but an estimated $12,000, to $15,000,000 per year pours out of Canada to participate in foreign sweep- stakes; much of this golden flood goes to improve hospital conditions in Ireland.

They will be processed and ready distribution by/ June 30, The first f elementary money, simply explaining the money structure and prices. ; The second will be more ad- vanced, giving natives simple explanations of how to use money to make more money. INVESTMENT LESSON It will show a native that if he wants to become wealthy, he must save money and invest 'it in some profit-making enter- prise such as buying a truck and doing carting work, or buy- ing and selling e The third film is a story about a native chief. Scenes for this film are being shot in and around Rabaul, and in nearby areas which are still primitive. This film will be an attempt to discourage natives from hoarding their money, hiding it in and around their huts, and burying it in the ground. This is a custom among the territory's natives. Even now, marks from the German era in Rabaul, which ended during the First World War, are occasion- ally offered in payment for goods When natives make a big pur- chase they often bring money in cash in old bags, wrapped in old newspapers, and in cans, Often bills are almost disinte- grating and silver coins are discolored as a result of being buried or hidden for many years, Ontario Attitudes On 'Liquor Changes BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO --Some of us, & few members, a few newspa- permen, were having a drink the other day. Eventually we got to talking about our liquor Jaws, and how ridiculous some of them are. The situation in Woodstock was brought up. Through recent - annexations, now there have to be five differ- ent liquor votes in the area. All of them are small. In one the total number of people elig- ible to vote is 59 men and women. But the law says there must be the votes. And the law is the law. Other things, such as possible Sunday sale in dining rooms, also were talked about. And the wind-up was that the members present felt that our liquor laws today weren't at all in tune with the times. In fact they felt there should be practically no restrictions, except protections to see that good standards are maintained.

These laws, however, were needed. Social outlooks in Ontario have changed tremendously ia the past 20 years, It is quite probable that to- day a government could throw liquo> laws wide open and not suffer too much damage. But when our present Hquor system was introduced in 1946 this was not by any means the case. As you may recall the cock- tail bar legislation was consid- ered a very bold step on the part of the Drew government. The one thing that saved. it from critical loss over its ac- tion was the great degree of protection it provided--includ- ing the stringent vote require- ment, which now appear so Teer in the case of Wood- stock. As it was the government came under quite strong attack for empowering bars in the large cities wi a vote. In the mood of the people at the time it had to put in strong restrictions. | It was, and had to be, a pro- cess of creeping. But from the changed mood of today, it would seem, we probably have crept to the stage where much more liberal approaches are in order. A. E. JOHNSON 0.D.
