Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1964---PAGE 6 Economic Revolution In Communist Empire _ A British diplomat stationed in . Budapest has drawn attention to *a veritable revolution within the Red bloc", And it's enough to make the corpse of Karl Marx revolve like a pinwheel. The profit motive is being given prominent support; supply and demand are replacing central planning as the regulator of production; interest is being char- get on capital investment. The revolution against socialist economics in practice is accom- panied by a revolution in theories. Economists meeting recently in Prague advanced arguments. that would have led to their liquidation only a few years ago. Ong stated that "the law of supply and de- mand should be a decisive factor in the entire economy." Another de- clared that if continuous free criti- cism were allowed, "not one of the traditional laws of socialist political economy would' survive." The comments were given semi-official status by publication in the Czech communist party's official journal. The revolution is taking many forms. In Poland an experiment to raise"both output and quality has made profit, rather than pro- duction quotas alone, an operating goal for 36 state enterprises. In Czechoslovakia the government has announced 'fan elastic price policy to correspond to fluctuations of the internal and external market," which is interpreted as meaning that prices will be set by supply and demand rather than state dic- tation. To raise output, some state tobacco farms in Bulgaria are ex- perimenting with share-cropping; farm families tend parcels of land as if they owned them, taking a share of the crop as payment, Even East Germany's Walter Ulbright, most Stalinist of the Red bloc leaders, has announced that supply and demand is now.a main factor governing the ®perations of four state enterprises and that "the government intends to extend this independence in planing to all of the existing -80-odd state en- terprises." In Hungary the state is trying to force business to handle capital more efficiently by making them pay for its use through a five per cent interest charge on the value of buildings, machinery, vehicles and inventory. "This represents a revolution in communist thinking," admits San- dor Kopacsy, state bank official. "In the past capital did not figure in plant costs, due to theoretical principles which no longer hold true." Nuclear Power Costly Canada's uranium producers can find little to cheer about in the statement of Sir Christopher Hin- ton, chairman of Britain's Central Electricity Board, that nuclear power will not become cheaper than power from conventional fuels until 1975. The conventional fuels, of course, are coal, gas and oil -- and these in turn are more expen- sive than water-derived power. As Dr. Hugh Keenleyside, chair- man of the British Columbia Power and Hydro Authority recently told a Commons committee: "Once developed and the capital investment made, hydro plants can produce power for anything from 100 te 200 years, with no cost for fuel and a minimum expenditure Om waaintenance and operation, at a pre Uhat no nucléar installation eouki ever match." Canada is fortunate in having a large supply of hydro-electric power, Meet of Ure readily available aour tee of have heen hitherte with water but power Ger eloed eources considered too remote may enter a "national grid" as a result of new techniques for transmitting power over long distances. Canada also has great uranium resources, but enough uranium has been mined and refined to satisfy world demand for some time. The great hope for Canada's uranium mines has been an expansion in the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Many countries -- including Can- ada -- have been experimenting with nuclear power plants, but Britain has led the world in this area. A British white paper last week revealed that there is un- certainty about the course of nuc- lear power there; conventional fuels are available in larger quantity and at better prices than was anticipated 10 years ago when the nuclear power program was in its first phase.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- With Britain and France working jointly on the production of the Concord, a supersonic airliner to travel at 1,450 miles per hour, and the American aircraft industry working on plans for a 2,000 YOUR HEALTH miles per hour aircraft, there is much discussion within the Brit- ish aircraft industry as to, how much longer subsonic jetliners will carry the bulk of the world air traffic. Experts, according to views expressed by airline officials, are very much of the opinion' that the bulk of the world's air travellers will be carried for many years to come in aircraft Stomach Bubbles Can Be Prevented By JOSEPH G.

Working on this basis, that the supersonic aircraft are a long way ahead in the future as mass passenger carriefs, aircraft en- gineers. are concentrating their attention on finding ways and means of improving the eco- nomics of the present-day air- planes, WORKING ON ENGINES One of the fields in which they believe great economies can be achieved is in the improvement of engines. Modern jets burn a prodigious amount of fuel, whether it be paraffin or "'wide- cut" gasoline. More power and less fuel consumption would therefore mean a great deal to the airlines which, in spite of huge turnovers, find it difficult to make a reasonable profit, or even any profit at all. Some of the major airlines are just not interested in the faster- than-sound airplanes. They just "don't want to know about them", Lord Douglas of Kirtle- side, pioneer airline pilot 45 years ago, who is shortly to re- tire from his post as chairman of British European Airways, is one Of.the airline chiefs resist- ing the temptation of supersonic jet aircraft. His company is pin- ning its faith in the new Trident jetliner, with a speed of over 600 miles an hour, which has just gone into service with the BEA. ROLLS-ROYCE LEAD The thinking of the major air- lines is also reflected in the operations of the Rolis-Royce Company, maker of the Tri- dent's Spey jets, and probably the most famous engine builder in the world, It is still keeping 85 per cent of its work confined to engines for aircraft that fly below the speed of sound At present, ith main fight is direeted: al lowering fuel con sunintin, Fedueing engine ant Wwreasing the air jBle All af HHHTHORTHBHe WHA in PrRASR He 14} hid day subsonic Hiae Hy +Hhet Hire the SHH HiRPREE ik} BiFRAH PAHO Hr Hib * (AKA tie (hm Roe Ph i) Ah AVG hh Pet yd tia ski] iy une Me fl a" Ane fold & t Hifi, fine iA adit feos! a expan stin Uae" Bieta itor at fh AAG HP bs pe! aft Breit ing Obie Hoy oe bvdiv the unde t ? eimaenity Hie Cyne late a (yw hanka) tWwadu bevier: ie HY Rent bab iiiias ii a9 HeY HHT Aly | Hal ody Ho Bald tal Ayrr AP ROYAL BANK OTTAWA REPORT Thatcher Stands Right Of Pearson By PATRICK NICHULSUN . OTTAWA--The defeat of the Saskatchewan CCF government "is regarded here as a personal triumph for the Liberal leader, Ross Thatcher, Himself an im- migrant into provincial politics from the federal field, ang equally an immigrant into the Liberal party from the old CCF, he attracts an unusually close interest in Ottawa for these two reasons: First--he is well remembered on Parliament. Hill, ere -his sharp tongue, activated by his unusually quick mind, was al- ways quick to cut any political pretensions down to size; and where his news-making talent Was a seam of purest gold, ready, for any journalist. to mine. ' Second--his abandonment of the CCF and his subsequent adherence to the Liberal party sparked a powder train which is significantly spurring our fragmented politics back to the two party system. His victory in Saskatchewan was hoped for by Liberals here but not confidently expected -- as was shown by the outburst o' surprised enthusiasm with which it was greeted by the ia caucus on Parliament il, 'A wonderful' birthday pres- ent* for Prime Minister Pear- son,"' one Parliamentarian said to me. ALL THAT GLITTERS The unconcealed delight of the federal Liberals will give way to doubts when the signi- f.cance of the Thatcher victory comes to be analysed. It will be found that, in the words of Shakespeare, 'all that glitters is not gold." Ross Thatcher stands ideolog- ically far to the right of the present Liberal philosophy as evidenced in Ottawa's East block, which in fact now stands just about where the former CCF leader M. J. Coldwell -- himself an ex-Liberal -- stood when Ross Thatcher abandoned BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Friday, May 1, 1929 F. S. Potter was made man- ager of the new branch of the Bank of Toronto which opened here. John Dryden of the OCVI, who won the oratorical contest for this district, was awarded third place in the Ontario Oratory finals in Toronto. Eric Beecroft, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. L, Beecroft of Whitby, was awarded a Fellow- ship at Yale University as well as a Fellowship in Public Law at Columbia University, New York, Dewland's Ladies' Wear Store Opened a basement shop for juvenile wear which was the first of its kind in Ontario and second in Canada. A. R. Alloway, business man- ager of The Oshawa Daily Times, was elected a director of the Canadian Press Limited at its annual meeting in Toronto.

This fact is well. recognized here among the powerful left wing brains trust behind, and ginger group within, 'the federal Lib- eral party. A very important angle, which has not yet been publicly noted, is the pattern of recent provincia] elections, into which the Thatcher victory fits. This is that, in all the 10 provincial elections held in the past 18 months the electors have con- sistently plumped where feas- ible for the party furthest to the right. In B.C. the voters preferred the Social Credit over the only practical alternative--the NDP. In Alberta, they\-favored Social Credit over the Liberals. In Manitoba they supported the Conservatives over the Liber- als, as did the voters of On- tario. This pattern of preferring 'Conservative government to Liberal government also was favored in P.E.J. and Nova Scotia. In Quebec and New QUEEN'S PARK ances, Se ~-- tcher's fire declar- ation after his victory--ass' that recounts and late votes wi maintain his majority = amounted to ip ne ne peg of the massive of wd undesirable interferences of state socialism and a return to free enterprise in Saskatch- ewan, Car insurance and road-build- . them Canadian fainily~ "allow ing again will be opened to the -- fresh winds of competition--al- though the government will : compete in the former. A Glassco-type commission will be set up to eliminate "'fat and waste' from government ex: penditures. And, as'a token of , Thatcher's determination to run government as efficiently as he ; previously ran his prosperous business, he will reduce the provincial sales tax--at a time © when other provinces are in- creasing theirs. As this column commented recently. the Thatcher brand of © free-enterprise social - welfare politics could probably com- mand a popular majority across Canada today. Macaulay's Loss Still Being Felt BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The man who hasn't been here has received a lot of attention in the house this year. The former minister of eco- nomics and development, Rob- ert Macaulay, has not been in the House very often. But his presence is still very much felt, When the estimates of his old department were before the House a large share of the op- position criticism centred on a comparison of the department under him and as it is today. And more than once during ' the session the charge has been made that since he retired the government has lost imagina- tion. REMARKABLE MAN No matter how much truth there is in this, now that he is not active, we are beginning to realize just what a remark- able man Mr. Macaulay was while here. Except possibly for Mitch Hepburn, there probably never has been a man at this seat of government with the vision and drive he showed. Except for the developments in education, nearly all of the progressive steps being taken here today stem directly or in- directly from him. In his cld department there is the trade crusade, still boom- ing, the industrial development agency, the housing program (which, it seems may finally get on its feet) and other note- worthy: activity, But even outside his depart- men his mark has been left. A revived and reorganized department of tourism and in- formation stems back to a study that he ordered. In agriculture an enlarged as promotion program is at least partly due to him (he was go- ing to tie farm products into the trade crusade and the ag- "a started riculture department husling on its own). Then, of course, he built up the image of the govermabal o at large. WOMEN'S VOTE It is interesting to recall just one of his ventures in this, area. Women. You may recall this. It was started some months before the election with a huge cocktail party and dinner, Eventually the interest 500,000 women in the province was aroused. The conference never did too much (it is now being revived on a smaller scale). But-in the election there would have been 500,000 women temoted to vote PC. ~ DRAPERY.
