L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MAY 2%, 1966 -- PAGE 4 ' It's Matter Of Climate For Industrial Interest Why do industries go to certain localities and not to others? One answer may lie in the ideas express- ed in an editorial which first ap- peared in the May 1952 issue of Industry under the caption "Want- ed: A Healthy Climate." The editorial which was reprinted in the current May issue of Indus- try, which is published by the Cana- dian Manufacturers' Association, notes that: "For any community, a new industry is valuable acquisi- tion. Every town or city depends for its livelihood upon its industries. They are the basic sources of its employment, its revenue, its pros- perity. And, of course, an industry in.turn depends on the community for a number of things essential to its operation. In choosing a site for a new plant, manufacturers have many factors to consider: an adequate source of employable people, good rail and road facilities, nearness to markets and supply centres, electric power, water, type of soil, elbow room for future expansion, and so on. There 'is another important factor, too, and to quote Mr. George H. Jackson, vice-president for sales and advertising of the Ford Motor Company of Canada, it's the most important single factor of all: a healthy industrial climate. "Speaking in Toronto recently, Mr. Jackson cited his own com- pany's decision to erect a new $30 million plant near Oakville, Ontario. In selecting this location, he said, Ford of Canada felt it was enering "an industrial climate ideally suited for a healthy and progressive future, "There is nothing more impor- tant, in the eyes of the business- man, than such a climate," he added, "We rate it above almost everything else." The speaker suggested that muni- cipalities should regularly test their climate if they wanted to attract new industries and hold existing ones, He went on: "Capital goes to those places where it will feel most at home, where it can live and pros- per in peace and harmony with its neighbours, "It is a little like a man who lives in a rented room, If he moves in with a happy congenial family he will stay on, even if the wallpaper is faded, the rug is threadbare and the bed is hard. But if the atmos- phere in the house is cold and hostile, and the roomer is disturbed by the landlady's quarrels with her husband and the {ill-tempered yam- mering of the children, he simply moves out, "Capital, like the roomer, is sens sative to its surroundings, It thrives in an atmosphere of warmth and stability and co-operation. It shrinks in a climate of indifference, of petty bickering, of proprietory at- titudes, and of outright hostility, It will do more than its share to im- prove its own climate, but should its efforts prove in vain, it may move to a more congenial location," It's Public Service Now Under new legislation in the House of Commons, federal em- ployees will in future be known officially as public servants rather than civil servants. "We're sorry to see the term 'civil' disappear," oomments an exchange. "It may not have been an exact description, but o least it served as a sort of goal." There is no reason, however, why the same goal cannot be kept in mind under the new set-up which establishes a new public service commission and gives the treasury board authority to establish pay She Oshawa Times T.

The new agency will replace the civil service commission and will embrace 140,000 civil servants, plus about 85,000 maintenance and trades workers not previously given the security. and tenure and the pro- tection of the Civil Service Act. By and large the emerging pattern has won the endorsation of the civil or public service. Claude Edwards, president of the CS Federation has labelled it "realistic," Installing the revenue minister as treasury board president with pow- ers akin to those of a general man- ager, coupled with increased man- agerial authority for deputy minis- ters, is expected to make for in- creased departmental efficiency. And no doubt there will be gen- eral acceptance of the new provision that confers the right of appeal to a dismissed employee, except in security cases, The new public service commis. sion is charged with the respon- sibility of guaranteeing the prin- ciple of merit in appointments to public service jobs and in promo- tions, In the light of other develop- ments affecting the service, notably those concerning bilingualism, this is regarded as vital and will put the new commission to the test.

Omaboe, delegation leader, is regarded as brilliant --so much so that not even former prime minister Nkru- mah dared fire him despite his anti-Nkrumah attitude But these conversations have also revealed the necessity of taking such harsh steps that the Ghanaian revolutionary regime may be hard pressed politically to survive, BQUANDERED FUNDS Nkrumah squandered the nest egg left the young nation when it became independent from Britain, He ran up a public debt of $1,100,000,000. Of this, more than $800,000,000 is in commer- cia] debt obligations spent on such schemes as jet airports, jet airlines, or huge public buildings. The International Monetary Fund has agreed to provide standby credits of $36,400,000 to help meet payments on that debt and then the next step will be refinancing the commercial debt There is some bitterness here among Canadian and other ob- servers at what they feel is a negative attitude by Britain, West Germany and Italy.

The tax increase, announced by Finance Minister Sharp in his March 29 budget, restores for most taxpayers most--but not quite all--of the tax cut former finance minister Walter Gordon put into effect last July 1 become ¢ For the lower income group, there will be a further small tax cut. The revenue department has distributed new tables to em- ployers showing the amounts to be deducted from employees' pay cheques. Taxpayers who do not receive a yr ular 1 me from salary or wages are res quired to make quarterly esti- mates of their annual income and pay the .ax every three months, settling their final ac- count with the tax collector at the end of the year In the case of a married man with two children eligible for family allowances and claiming no more than the minimum in- come exemptions allowed, the new deduction on a weekly in- come of $150 will be $18.75, Since last July it has been $17.45, but before Mr. Gordon's tax cut last year it was $19.10, For the same man on an in- come of $75 a week, the new tax tables effective June 1 call a for weekly payroll tax deduc- tions of $3.55 compared with the present deductions of $3.65 and $3.90 before last July's tax cut.

Rifles Thrown Away One of the biggest contro- versies in Canada was over the Ross rifle used by Can- adian troops in World War I until August, 1916. There was a good deal of national pride involved. The government had not been able to buy Lee- Enfield rifles several years be- fore the war because Britain had priority on them, and would not release enough for the Canadian army, Sir Charles Ross then came on the scene, He was a Scottish inventor who had a factory in the U.S.A. and demonstrated a new rifle for a special commit- tee set up by Sir Frederick Borden, Minister of Militia for Canada. One of the members of the committee was Sam Hughes who was soon to take Borden's place, Hughes was a keen amateur marksman and the Ross rifle was ideal for target practice, It was originally . lighter and easier to load than the Lee- Enfield. There was one. bad feature. The Ross rifle jammed when it became hot, It was redesigned, modified, and had special ammunition made for it, By this time it was seven inches longer than the Lee- Enfield, and weighed a pound more, It also cost $28. which was 25:per cent more than Britain paid for Lee-Enfields, now in plentiful supply. The Ross rifle was tested in Britain, France and the U.S.A., and the reports were nearly always the same: the rifle jammed after it had. fired about 50 rounds. However, as the matter was such a political controversy in Canada, the criticism from international experts were usually too polite and Sam Hughes and his supporters could always find justification for keeping the Ross rifle in use It was the Canadian soldiers who got rid of the rifle. During the gas attack on Ypres nearly 1,500 threw their Ross rifles away and picked up Lee- rs READERS WRITE LETTER SENT .Mr. Editor; In answer to Mr, Alan R Williams letter to the editor regarding the manner in which I handled his donation of an automobile to the Canadian Museum.

Watson, Secretary CLOSED SHOP Referring to the letter in your paper May 14 "'Practice Freedom" by Martin Kuipers, it is obvious that Mr. Kuipers and Mr, Grozedoorn are simply seeking some 'cheap publicity for a psuedo-labo organiza- thon with very vague Policies During his flag waving letter some Mr. Kuipers did not deny the right of union. membership simply the compulsory aspect; but in an orderly society such as ours we are all compelled to submerge some of our per- sonal freedom for the common good. We are compelled to pay income tax, send our children to school and generally behave in a responsible manner, During a time of war or national disaster would Mr, Kuipers agree that the armed forces through "enlarging its member- ship by force is breaking down our country's position of free- dom"? To advocate complete aboll- tion of compulsion Is to ad- vocate anarchy! Dealing with aspect of com- pulsory unionism or the 'closed shop", the union membership democratically decide not to work with non-union labor, the employers agree through col- lective bargaining and the laws of the land uphold this decision. It ts simply the right not to associate which 1s being ex- ercised, Anyone not willing to accept this as a condition of employment {s not compelled to work under it If Mr. Kuipers ts not will- ing to work under these con- ditions and is willing to accept the ramifications of his deci- sion, then he has made his own frww choice. Hopvever, the majority of union members are not in agreement with him and free choice. However, the In Canada where we practice majority rule not minority dictatorship, the tail will not Wag the dog.
