Progressive Conservative MPs on the Commons broadcasting committee is attempt ing to find out just how wide this spread is The CBC has refused to divulge Lhi nforma tion explaining that it wasnt ethical to give such information since the broadcasting medium and its sponsors were in highly competitive business Here again there is an example of somebody spending your money while you are not suplt posed to know where it is being thrown around If your taxes are helping to put out some trash on the CBC you should have same right through your MP to try and cut it off But the point that seems

teenagers narrowly escaped serious injury as he was caught on his bicycle between the suddenly parked car and another oncoming vehicle The driver of the other car probably had few hours chopped off his life by the shack Another driver at the curb ready to pull ouzhad to wait the return ofthe busy business woman And number of cars had to wait their turn to pull out and pass all so the first mentioned driver could save few minutes she would have lost had she pulled into the vacant space few feet farther up the street It was perfect example of the degeneration which takes place in many good people as soon as they are in charge of car The young woman did lose something which she probably will never miss the respect of at least one person who wihiesscdthe complete disregard for the

011AWA The government walks tightrope in its policies for developing Canadas massive reserves of natural gas and oil 0n the one hand is the need for attracting large amounts of US capital so that the energy resources can be developed as quickly as possible with suffic lent financial backing 0n the other is the danger of allowing control of inc large share of Canadas mineral wealth to pass into foreign hands and particularly to US interests in these times of delicate Can ndanS relaiions One side of the coin was shown by Trade and Commerce Minisr for Gordon Churchill in his speech introducing the bill to set up the National Energy Board He said We recognize the need for and welcome capital whether domestic or foreign for investment in the energy and as sociated industries and webe invested should enjoy fair and reasonable rate of return Mr Churchill went on to ex plnin one of the high points of the bill namely that though the Energy Board will have the power to regulate the rates at which gas and oil may be sold it will not have the authority to regulate profits though there is an obvious relationship between the two Just as Mr Churchills job in the cabinet is to hustle along Canadian industry at the fastest possible pace that of Northern Affairs Minister Alvin Hamilton is to ensurethe wisest possible use of our mineral resources It was in this role that Mr Hamilton told the Commons Mines Forests and Waters com miliee Any person who knows public opinion in Canada over the last 10 or 15 years will know how strongly the Canadian peo ple feel about the matter of Can adian participation in those re sources This government was elected have that such capital wisely Economic Problems lire Root Long LatinAmerican Revolt ayaosnrn MACSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer

No exact figures are available to show the shares of Canadas oil and natural gas wealth held by Canadian American British or other foreign interests Errschoolteacher and longtime visionary about Canadas future Alvin Hamilton recently gave these figures in the Conunons Canada firms hnld 5554 per cent of all exploratory permits in the northern mainland and Arctic islands US corporations or Canadian subsidiaries of US companies hold 4256 per cent and British corporation 19 per cent Another indicator has been giv en out by the Canadian Petrol cum Association which reported house survey showed less than four out of every 100 persons employed in oil and gas comp anies in Canada were Amcrlclt ans Neither of these can be taken as hard and fast conclusions The US companies are usually larger and more powerful than the Canadian ones their per sonnel hold more important po sitions In fact one exploratory permit in the Arctic is held by an Ottawa taxi driver red blooded Canadian no doubt but not very likely to further the de velopment of the north Since comingio power the Conservative government has taken two important steps which it hopes will protect what Mr Hamilton described as the great wish of the Canadian people to have an opportunity to share in ownership of the wealth of their nation The first was to change the program of granting exploration permits in the north from what was lmown us the concession syste used by the Liberals to the Crown Reserve System Danger under the concession system which reaches its full est flowering in the Middle East is that entire control of larg or gas pools can fall into the hands of singlevcompany The Crown reserve system is worked outon mathematic basis so that company which discovers an oil or gas well re tains on the average only about half ni ittl1e remainder revert ing to the Crownfor sale by pub lic leader In this way the government canpui the brake on US comp anlesholding massive coniin nus mineral resources across the north The second stepis the ins firm of rather mildreading clausewhicb carrieswiih it potential bombshell The phrase reads Have re gard to thefinancial responsib llity and financial structure of the bidding companies and fake into account the extent to which Canadian capital will have an opportunity of participating This key clause has been in serted into the National Energy Board bill and it is reliably learned it will alsobe included in the new regulations govern ing oil and gas exploration in the Arctic Islands What it means in effect is that the government or the Energy Boardwhen it comes to licens ing cilor gas pipelines isnt bound taaccept the highest bid whether by Canadian or US corri puny but can award it to com pany which takes special pains to allow Canadian participation in voting stock management engineering and construction It will be powerful argument to US companies considering in vesting ln Canada to loosen their rnhdified Olllini REPORT Booming Britain is Canadian Market By PATRICK NICHOLSON sperm Campanilan For The Barrie Examiner OTTAWA Reports reaching Ottawa this spring suggesch that Britains economy is booming to record heights This coupled with Britains promise at last years Montreal economic conference to ease restrictions against Cans dran exports as soon as possible suggesied to me that our great est unwritten news story might be of attractive new export op portunich in the British market When recently visited Britain to study this trade possibility found that Britain is indeed booming as never before in liv ing

churches and other ancient build ings in the city of London shops full of goods often of slightly higher quality and generally at lower prices than in Canada There are plenty of Old World antiques for sale butand this will interest our manufacturers vcry very few New World elec trical household gadgets To Canadian eyes the worst feature about modern Britain is the truly crushing degree of taxa tion necessary to pay for two WorldWars and for the postwar welfare sinie The tax on pers onal incomes soars above 55 per cent at the snow income level and rises to the coniiscatory scale of 8875 per cent at $13000 On top of that comes the purch use tax which despite big reduc ticns in the recent budget is still as high as 50 per cent on many items din the popular small cars which can hardly be classed as luxuries successful bread winner in the top tax bracket has to earn $15067 to be able to buy typ ical little English car off the top of his income or that huge sum 913939 is taken from him in in

making impossible the crcniion of new iartimes out of earned in come The newlyprosperous Britain with its new mass market for goods other than lifes necessit ice and with its growing supply of dollars now offers wideopen market in many Canadian ex ports although some of our trar ditional surpluses are now priced ion high to compete in Britain Thai markct has been opened by Britains rcccnt elimination of all restrictions an the purchase of consumer goods in many categor ies from the dollar area This step correctly foreseen several weeks ago by this column was announced in Parliament

indies direct result of the Cannon wealth Economic Conference con vened by Prime Minister chfen baker in Montreal last fall this new British market for our con sumer goods offers our manufac turers their greatest export op portunity in twenty years At the same time it is an invitation to Canada to swell further the di versification of our trade by step ping up our purchases from Brit ain for our

ReuterslTwo Italian inventors claim to have solved problem whichhas been worry ing the world ever since the Hebrews tried to reach heaven with the TOWer of Babel translation machine that really works Tday many thousands of years afterthe Hebrews were punished for their presumption by being confounded with divers tongues human ingenuity still is striving to bridge th gap dividing poples of

EQUIVALENT WORD This symbol card is in turn in stantaneously connected with the equivalent word or phrase in the language in which the translation is required The basic failure of all pre yious languagemachines in the past 20 or 30 years has been that they failed to take into account the fact that in order to translate you have to think Ceccato said He described how he and his colleague analyzed and disposed of this problem The actual prnb em of translating words had been overcome by the age old and wellnied means of the dic tionary Then came the question Why had no one been able satis factorily to take the next step The translation by mechanical means of phrases and sentences According to the professor the trouble has been an innate con viction born of the centuriesold philosophical theory that man is divided irrevocably into two parts fhe body and the spirit mama ruoucars Advances in the last century he thinks have modified this theory and there is no reason why mans thoughts should not be mechanically expressed within certain limitations The major problem which he now claims to have solved was how to thoughts Years of research have borne fruit in the form of
