Promotion Abroad Merits Notice At Home Premier John Robarts is back in the swing of plans, problems and politics which the position he holds. presents after his newsworthy tour to Britain, As developments are dealt with one by one there's often the risk of losing perspective of the progress and potential in this prov- ince of Ontario. In this count-our-blessings sea- son, remarks made by Mr. Robarts speaking in Britain provide a spec- tacular guide. They certainly made fine promotional material in London but serve also to remind those at home of the scope of the province in which. we live. While our population of less than seven million is only one-third of the populatioun of our country, we produce over forty percent of the national income and contribute some fifty percent of the direct taxes collected in Canada. In other words, Ontario, predom- inant as it is in finance, transporta- tion, and manufacturing, and with abundant natural resources of many kinds, is of singular importance in the Canadian economy. Ontario factories produce ninety- six percent of all the motor vehi- cles produced in Canada; ninety- four percent of all automotive parts and accessories; ninety-two percent of all office-furniture; ninety per- cent of all productions of the electri- cal industries; eighty-seven per- cent of all agricultural implements; and eighty-six percent of all iron and steel production. Factory shipments of manufac- tured goods have risen to $15.7 bil- lion in 1964, from $5.7. billion in 1948, or by some one hundred and ninety percent in eighteen years, Similarly, spectacular _ statistics could readily be related for other areas of our economy. Another key factor in the equa- tion is, however, the enormous nate ural wealth of the land itself. The fertile fields of southern Ontario support a flourishing agricultural economy. The northern Ontario provide bountiful harvests of tim- ber, from which lumber, pulp and paper come' in great quantity. Abundant and. accessible water power has been harnessed to pro- vide enormous supplies of hydro- electric energy. The Pre-Cambrian Shield yields the basic raw materials of our bur- geoning industrial development. forests of That Cup That Cheers...

But that proportion has been steadily de- creasing until today only 37 per cent approve bringing thousands of skilled workers to Canada.

Even the shades had shades Long - standing problems of declining Great Lakes water levels and river and lake pollu- tion took a back seat to the great water export debate. Northern Affairs Minister Laing, whose department over- sees water resources, was the chief government spokesman at least until the campaign for the Nov. 8 election Then Prime Minister Pearson said the Liberal government plans to discuss water export with the U.S., but Canada would have to be careful to meet her own needs first. Water export, he said, could be as important as oil, wheat or anything else sold abroad This seemed a little different from the tougher line adopted by Mr. Laing, who said earlier the U.S. should not look to Can- ada as a potential source of unlimited quantities of fresh water which can be tapped at any time Mr. Pearson said later there was no difference in the two views. Mr. Laing was looking at the immediate future. The prime minister said he. was looking farther ahead. No water By OTTAWA of opinion would be exported in the mediate future. Conservative vin Hamilton suggested that Canada should talk with the U.S. about exchanging water for guaranteed markets south of the border for Canadian in- dustrial products. This too seemed slightly at odds with the approach of Con- servative leader Diefenbaker who rejected one water diver- im- spokesman Al- sion scheme on the grounds it ~ would chip away at Canadian sovereignty and dissipate the country's resources without consideration. Mr. Diefenbaker said _ his party intends to bring in a, na- tional water policy to safeguard this natural resource The diversion project men- tioned by Mr. Diefenbaker is a $100,000,000,000 scheme to wet down the western U.S. with water collected from rivers in British Columbia, the Yukon and Alaska. Part of the flow would be re- directed into the Rocky Moun- tain trench to form a 500-mile reservoir in B.C. with its south- ern tip in Montana. From there it would be channelled into U.S. rivers and canals, The project is the brainchild of the Ralph M. Parsons engi- neering firm of Los Angeles and New York. The firm has been promoting the scheme in gov- ernment circles on both sides of the border for years. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec. 18, 1965...

Montreal Le Devoir--The relative setback General de Gaulle suffered (in the first round of the French presi- dentia] election) is not dra- matic. Any man but de Gaulle would have cause to be proud of the thought of being able to count on the support of 45 per cent of the French peo- ple. . But being unique, the case of de Gaulle it is clear the verdict is a shocking lesson.

That not the way Mr. Lecanuet took it. On the contrary, he saw in de Gaulle's European pol- icy a serious split with the recent. past If one considers Mitférrand also against General de Gaulic's European policy, one can con- clude that France's present policy in dealings with other European countries doesn't Pa aa ee erie support is significant same those mission itself The Canada is wants portant and would 1975.

NDP Leader Tommy Douglas, in the statement you refer to, stated that the government's program for the new Parlia- ment should include 'such ur- gent matters as: 1, Medicare. 2. An old crease. 3. A limit on election expenses with disclosure of the source of donations, 4. Massive federal aid to edu- cation. 5. Reform of bankruptcy law administration 6. The Canadian Development Corporation. 7. Collective civil servants. "We pvill press for action' on all these matters," he stated As the Liberals have advo- cated all these matters at one time or another, if they should now bring in legislation on them, they will not just be tow- ing the NDP line as you sug- gest, but they will be legislating on matters that are 'supposedly in their platform. age pension § In- bargaining for Yours, HERB HYMAN, Vice-President, Oshawa New Democratic Party.

It wasn't as easy as that 3ritish Columbia in 1871 had agreed to join Canada on the understanding that a railway to the Pacific coast would start within two years, and be com- pleted by 1881. Soon after, Sir John A. Macdonald had to re- sign on account of a campaign funds scandal, and Liberal pre- mier Alexander Mackenzie was in power. He felt that a railway to British Columbia would put Canada into bankruptcy, and delayed its construction. In 1874, citizens of Victoria staged a mild rebellion, because the railway had not begun, and once again there was a strong movement to have British Col- umbia join the U.S.A. 4 i eM Cu Russia Edges To Consumer By JOHN BEST MOSCOW. CP) -- A new Kremlin leadership sought to make a Start in 1965 at improv- ing the quality and output of things like buttons and bread flour. The same occupations work-a-day likely to ab- sorb .the-cuceassarsof-- Nikita Khrushchev in 1966 as the So- viet Union edges tortuously but unmistakably toward some kind of consumer economy. Foreign relations will con- tinue to be dominated by the fierce Soviet - Chinese dispute and the divisions that it has fostered in the Communist world, In various ways, Russia is likely to go on trying to iso- late China from the mainstream of international communism. At the same time it will prob- ably step up its behind-the- scenes attempts to help. bring about a settlement of the Viet Nam war, a policy which Pe- king adamantly and vocifer- ously opposes, Since at least 1957, when 'the first sputnik went aloft, Russia has presented the ludicrous spectacle of a country that can blaze trails into space but can't produce a good button for the general consumer market. The same applies to a whole range of commodities from electrical appliances to fruit and vegelables--impossible - to buy except in season. As for flour, it is sold publicly only once or twice a year, on fes- tive occasions, and in strictly rationed quantities, PROTESTS INCRE: Rank-and-file Soviet citizens have grown increasingly asser- tive -- in a discreet way -- in their demands for more of the good things of life Two events during 1965 signi- fied the determination of the men who took over from Khru- shchey late in 1964 to come to grips with Russia's towering economic problem. One was a speech by Communist party first secretary Leonid Brezh- nev, the other a speech by Premier Alexei Kosygin. Brezhnev, at a March meet- ing of the party's central com- mittee, announced a whopping investment of 71,000,000,000 rubles in agriculture during the next five years. At Russia's of- ficial exchange rate, that amounts to 85,000,000,000 Cana- dian dollars, A large part of the allocated amount will go into farm mech- Mon- aud--pr of pre- seem luction Lord Duf- to try to and was Governor General ferin B.C, calm the situation, given a tremendous reception.

In November he was back in Ottawa, and had a confer- ence with Prime Minister Mac- kenzie and Edward Blake, a former Liberal leader and one of the stalwarts of the party. The disagreement. between Prime Minister Mackenzie King and Governor General Lord Byng in 1926 is well known. It was a polite affair although it became the chief issue in a general election. The disagreement between Prime Minister Mackenzie, Edward Blake, and Governor General Dufferin in 1876 was a really angry affair. Finally, Macken- zie and Blake had their way. The Governor General agreed tHE AN Et AH went to SE AM Tortuously Economy more and better fertilizers. The Brezhnev plan also offered a wide range of incentives to farmers to produce more. As if to underline the chronic malaise of Russia's farm sec- tor, and the need for drastic measures to deal with it, Rus- {f nother bad wheat harvest ._ This. forced. it to buy luge. quantities of wheat on the world market--$450,000,- 000 worth from Canada alone. DISEASE HITS CATTLE Towards the end of the year, foot-and-mouth disease broke out among Soviet cattle herds, only just recovered from. the disastrous harvest of 1963 when thousands of animals were slaughtered because of lack of fodder. The disease spread rapidly over a wide area and indications were that another agrarian calamity might be in the making. Of profound significance was Kosygin's speech to a Septem- ber meeting of the central committee, outlining a revolu- tionary new plan for making industry more responsive to consumer demand and widen- ing the powers of individual plant managers. Some of the stifling controls hitherto exercised on factory directors from above would be lifted and ability to make prof- its would become the chief yardstick of efficiency. Among other things, this was expected to raise the general quality of goods produced Outside observers were im- pressed by the business ¢ like way in which the new program wvas presented and by Kosy- gin's willingness to discuss eco- nomic problems in economic terms, free of ideological dis- traction, yin foreign affairs, 1965 was a year of stock takinn and re-eval- uation, The quarrel with Peking re- to fear up his report and ac- cept the advice of his minis- ters.

Some observers even dared to believe that Moscow had sutceeded in re-establishing a measure of influence in Com- munist Norih Viet Nam, which Khrustichev had allowed to fall by default to Chinese influence. There is every evidence that the Russians have been probing diplomatically for ways to help bring about an end to the war in Viet Nam. And they would appear to be in fairly good position to press the matter with Hanoi, having helped North. Viet Nam defend itself against U.S. air raids by supplying anti-aircraft equipment that has brought down a number of attacking planes.
