poultry and any other agricultural products which may be specified by the Economiccommu nlty The law system will cover all trade in these products between the member states and nonmember coun tries based on the dif ference between the prices in the im porting and the exporting countries For processed goods on which levy is charged thedifference in prices paid for the raw materials will be taken as basis and any appropriate supple mentary levies may be applied An explanation is given by The Ear ire Examiner London correspondent Mr McIntyre Hooydz This means that any Countries ex pdrting any

such as Ca nada And it should be noted that in 1950 forty per cent of Canadas ex ports tothe Common Market countries were agricultural Another point to be notedin the p01 lcy is that 80 per cent of the yield from the levy on agricultural products will be allocated to the importing country The remaining 20 percent will be placed in Joint fund to finance the common agricultural policy on the economic and social planes From what have been able to learn ln Brussels writes Mr flood the timate aim of the Common Market agri cultural policyis to make itssmamber nations selfsufficient for

illustrated booklet on The Indian in Transition which contains this statement Since 1951 when the Indian Act was revised enormous strides forward have been made under the aegis of new and enlightened administration and we may confidently look forward to time in the not very far future when the reservat ions which in spite of all their faults literally saved the Indian race from ex tinction will no longer be needed The Ottawa Citizen suggests that this quotation and others like it are worth keepinginmind atfla time when some are attempting to draw parallels be tween apartheid in South Africa and Indianpolicy in Canada There are no points in resemblance south Africas policy is deliberate attempt to keep white and black apart and also keep nonwhites in state of perpetual sub ordination In this

of the association for merly known as the Pan Ameri can Union date back to 1890 There has been internuitcut debate over the years in Can ada and inside OAS about the advantages and disadvantages of this country being member 0A8 WANTS CANADA In recent years OAS has made it plain it wants Canada And Canada has demonstrated renewed interest to the point of accepting an invitation to send an observer to this years meeting in Quito Ecuador of the InterAmerican Conference the supreme organ of OAS The meeting was to have been held in May but was postponed 1i lwil be the first time Can ada has bad an observer at 011 mating held every five years It is one stop short of full mfirgxbersbip which Canada can simply by ratifying the OAS charter signed by the Present member countries at Bogota Colombia in 1H0 Purposes of the organization as set out in the charter are 11 strengthen the peace and security of the hemisphere prevent possible causes of dif flculties and ensure the pacific settlement of disputes that may arise among the member states provide for common action oaths part of those states in the event of aggression seek the solution of political luri dical and economic problems that may arise among them and promote by cooperative action their economic social and cultural development TRADE IS FACTOR The executive body is the council of the OAS in which each member state has one representative with the rank of ambassador its meeting place is in Washington in the House of the Americas where in an ticipation of evniuai Canadian entry counciltabla chair with Canadas name on it has been stored since 1910 The charter also provides for meetings of consultation of foreign affairs ministers to consider urgent problems In addition there are num ber of specialized and technical agencies in some of which Can ada has participated or bad observers present Fifteen of the Latin American countries have into several subregional free trade arrangements with the aim of gr adu ally eliminating tariffs and trade restrictions the lar gest pact involving seven nations One assumeat in favor of Canada taking out membership has been that if she doesnt she may be

$3038551 Uruguay $2473100 $987496 it has been estimated that memberspr in OAS would cost Canada about $1000000 snlt busily MAY AID LATINS The cost would be much higher if Canada coupled this membership with financial aid to underdeveloped countries in Latin America This aid would be funnelled through the Inter Americao Development Bank established in late 1059 with an authorized capital of 5050000 000 of which the US has put up 50000000 External affairs department officials Intimate Canadas eon tributioa would be between 517 000000 and 315000000 But Investment in the bank is not requirement of membership although all present members of OAS except Cuba are invol ved in the scheme There have been number of reasons for Canada not being member Mostly it has come down to matter of OAS not being willing when Canada was interested or viceverss From 1927 through 1042 when there were overtures by Latin Amerch countries for Cans dian membership it was the that either foretailed auction or advised against it Canadas lies with Britain and the Commonwealth influenced the US which was intent on keeping the organization club of Amencaa political entities free of colonies or dominion wrtb European connections REMOVED BARRIER Also as former prime minis ter MackenzleKing once told the Commons in the 19309 Can adacould not take part since only American republics were dmittejd The organization with Canada in mind removed this bar in its new charter of 1940 in adopting the term states rather than repub lies On Canadas part there was disinclinaticn over the years to become involved in the affairs of region made turbu lent by dictatorships revolu iious and border disputes And Canadkwitb its mem bership in the Commonweai the North Atlantic Treaty ganization the Le ag of Nations and then the United Nations andfhe Colombo plan developed more of world and Atlantic outlook than hemispheric one There were fears in some quarters that membership in OAS and its predecessor organizations might detract from or even hurt this countrys other inter national responsibilities Some personsin this country opposed to OAS membership felt the answer for Canada was to increase her diplomatic re laiions with Latin American countries through the establish ment of more missions there Blossom Time In Fruit Belt NIAGARA FALLS Ont GP explodein ariot of color fo the
