ifiatrfir Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield street Barrie Ontario SATURDAY 1qu 22 Investigation Necessary To Canadas manufacturers of mediclnm as their counterparts in the United states have recently been are now being subjected to public examination They as much as their millions of cus tomers should welcome such an inquiry threeyear governmental study has precipitated this pm by the Restric tive Trade Practices Commission While it would be wholly wrongful to proJudge the examination now going on across the country such is the public interest in this particular sphere that it will be useful to recall th ereport of Henry the combines investi gation director who has submitted the federal report Of primary concen is the charge that Canadian drug prices run about eleven per cent above United Statas levels Viewed in the light of the conclusions drawn by the 115 sen ate antitrust and monopoly subcom mittee the Montreal Star suggests such an allegation is enough to drive Cana dians to wider use of tranquilizers were they cheaper In Washington Senator Estes Kefau Oi Clear Air ver is introducing legislation designed to impose price control on medical drugs generally Re and his committee feel they have uncovered sufficient evidence to Justify the more in the belief that retail prices are unreasonable whether gt compared to costs to profits or to prices in foreir countries The ilt in band now is precisely to discover if parallel situation exists here whether in the words of sub mission by the Canadian Association of Consumers among others manufactur ers have complete monopoly of the sale of their patented products and are charging rbltant prices We agree with the Star that on what ever levei whether it be that of the pharmaceutical concern or the comer drugstore the question needs airing for the benefit of all The outcome could well have bearing as it already has had in the United Kingdom and certain European countries on the matter of national health and govern ment participation in its direction High Taxes Cut Jobs Taxing Canadians out of Employment would be the height of foolishness but it would be hard to prove that the fed eral government is doing otherwise Nor is it just the present governmc it has been going on for long time and the 1981 budget brings no improvement comparison with the United Kingdom underlines the point The specific tax concerned is that an plied to corporation profits Here the tax is flat 50 per cent In Britain total corporate earnings are taxed at 15 per cent with an additional 3875 per cent tax on profits distributed to sharehold ers so that they will not be taxed twice shareholders are credited for the tax col lected from the company The signific ant point is that profits spent on busi ness expansion are taxed at only 15 per cent Britains twolevel tax on business profits has double advantage It dir ectiy helps the public by keeping to minimum the priceincreasing effect of the tax It directly helps industry by leaving it more money for the plant ex pansion and improvement that leads to better cheaper products In brief though the British are more heavily tax ed than are Canadians the tax struc ture is designed to provide investment capital and stimulate industrial growth Just how little money is left to can adlan industry for reinvestment in its Down Memory Lclné ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION On July is 1936 an attempt was made to assassinate King George in Hyde Park London England He was rid ing back to Buckingham Palace after parade and presentation of new colors to six battalions of the Foot Guards woman in the crowd saw man pull revolver from his pocket and she leap ed upon him and in the struggle the weapon was knocked from his hand and it landed on the road near His Ma jestys horse Four of its five chambers were full No shots were fired and one man was arrested The Duke of York heirpresumptive was riding with the King Policerescued the accused man from the crowd and took him to the police station As usual the King was accompanied by the cap own expansion is shown by report on manufacturing in 1980 prepared by the Canadian Manufacturers Association Federal and provincial taxes on corpor ation income last year amounted to 39 cents on each dollar of sales Sharehold ers received 25 cenu on each dollar of sales The amount left for reinvestment in business averagedil cents on the sol es dollar The public of course pays through higher prices the share of cor poration earnings that governmenttax es away Also because the corporation tax discourages the investment of new risk capital and does nothing to en courage the accumulation of reinvest ment capital the public pays again through loss of employment speaking recently on this sublect to the Canadian Apparel and Textile Man ufacturers Assocfation John Meyer fin ancial editor of the Montreal Gazette said The truth of the matter is that Canadian tax authorities have consist ently levied their taxes in terms of how much money the government needs not in terms of what industry can afford to pay believe that this is one of the most important reasons why we havesecn the growth in our economy brought to halt Until the public recognizes that there is relationship between Jobs profits and taxes the politicians will continue their present folly tain of his bodyguard the Royal Horse Guards An official of Scotland Yard said that no special measures were taken for the Kings protection during the parade but as usual uniformed men were lining the

definite objectives As member of cabinet one would expect that naturally would say Yes We are But propose to leave it to the reader to decide will praent the case on the agricultural side You be the judge Since the 303 it has grown increasingly clear that revo lubon was occurring in agricul ture The farmers share of the national income was declining Many farmers were leaving the land The aim of the PCs was ex pressed best by John Diefen baker in March of 1957 when he stated that there should be national development policy with agriculture the basic cor nersfone of that policy Without being too partisan about my presentation here are the goblevementa ALT PASSED To reduce the evil effects of violent fluctuations lnpricc we passed the Agricultural Stabili zation Act in 1953 now covers 17 products Gross farm income in the lalt three years basavr eraged $351000000 abovethc average bf the preceding four years Much of this increase is due to this Act but in my opin ion much has still to be learned and done tornuke the act even more effective Our problems in regard to hogs and eggs are an example To reduce of severe extremes III weather we passed the CropInsurance evince the ruinous effects has really done anything about it and the demand for it is in creaslng rapidly in that prov ince other provinces must put some effort into thfsprngrarn if the full advantages of stable income areto be realized Once prices and incomes are stabilized it is easier to make farm credit work We set up the Farm Credit Corporation in 1959 and it began operatingiinr 1960 It appears now that some $75 000000 year in carefully planned and in the case of young supervised credit will be used to lift thou sands of farmers each year to economic units So far would suggest the rogram of development ap pears logical and it is but what about the marginal farm What aMutsumlu production From the very beginning the government tackled the prob lem of sluplusgrain which hung over the heads of all Canadian farmers in 1957 From 15541957 average annual exports of wheat were 278 million bushels For 19581961 it appears that the av erage will be over 310000000 bushels and that figure does not reflect the full impact of the China sale Even allowing for extra sales our productive potential is greater than foreseeable domes tic and export markets so in 1361 we passed the Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development ActARDA to allow govern ments to shift land to alterna tive and better uses to set up rural development committees and have national conservation programs By this not we try to ust supply to demand to rural income and make better use of our soil and water So there it is fouryear program of legislation is it sensible approach Does ARDA fit in with the Stabilization Act and the FCC7 In

tho future welfare of the countrys economy at stake ALTERNATIVE TD ECM The stem attitude of Common wealth countries ogainkt Britain Joining the Common Market has brought about some new think ing in government circles This is indicated by reports that the cabinet is preparing alterna tive plans for the countrys economic future in case it de cides not to joint with the Eur opean Economic Community On the surface it is apparent that in Ihe event of this decia ion being made there will have to be drastic changes in the governments trade defence and economic policies What is foreseen is that there will hive to be defensive mens urea to protect Britains indus try from intense competition from Western Europe 0n the other hand another result might well be the strengthening of trade and economic links with the Commonwealth nations These might lead to new trade block biased on the Com monwEalih countries with new system of tariffs and du ties to protect British indus fries from bloodletting trade war with Europe MAY CUT DEFENCE One thing which is mostljke ly to happen is sharp reduclt lion in defence expenditures particularly in Western Europe Britain may be forced to with draw all but atoken force of British troops from West Ger many Britain simply could not afford to keep on paying out heavily for West European de fence when Brlfnln herself is assailed by eonnorflc troubles lhind trade threats from bar al 85 These are the alternatives to participation in the Common Market The fact that they are being discussed at all can be taken as an indication that the government is not sure that it garlic to join the European LLOYD FORESTALLED The Finance Houses Associa tion whose members finance most of the instalment plan purchases of automobiles has served notice that the cost of brains cars by that method is to be increased Down pay ments and monthly instalments on secondth cars are to go up as well as those on new cars The firms claim that the rise in rates has been forced on them by an increase in their costs and by the need for them to pay higher interest on the money they borrow There is feeling in fansncial circles however that there is more behind it than that It is regarded as an effort on the part of the automobile finance companies to forestall any in stalment purchase restrictions which Chancellor of the Ex chequer Slwyn Lloyd might feel inclined to include in the new credit squeeze which is coming in the near future By raising their own rates they might well believe that the chancellor will deal more leniently with them in his efforts to restrict domestic buying in order to prov mote greater exports BIBLE THOUGHT there no balm in Gilead 11 there no physician the Jeremiah 828 Yes there is balm there is healing for the wounded life the
