these were opinions which were given as it were on the fly Fly or sly another MP in quired The prime minister is flying around so much that one won ders whether his flying ex perience alters his viewpoint Mr Diefenbaker retorted PARLIAMENT HILL We have an unerring knack for ridiculous situations By STEWART acllltIOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service It was rather funny the other day as External Affairs Minis ter Allan MacICachcn stood in the Commons and said that if Taiwanese athletes tried to come to the Montreal Olympics as representatives of the Re public of China they probably would be turned back at the air port Because it turns out while the minister was making this statement three members of the Taiwanese delegation were busy at work in the Olympic Village behind door marked Republic of China The external affairs depart meiit at the risk of wrecking the Olympics has been ada man in saying that Iaiwancse athletes will iiol be giVen entry visas so long as they claim to represent mainland China But it seems the incssage didnt go very far It took me 10 minutes to get an entry visa in Los Angeles WAX Steam is going out of Brazilian economy By JOHN IIARHRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Some steam is going out of the booming Brazilian economy whose gross national product GNPI was increasing at record nine to 10 per cent rate in the early 19705 With an estimated fiveper cent GNP increase for 1976 Brazil is still doing well and re mains the foreign investors best bet in Latin America But Brazils Japnstyle indus trial takeoff which began af ter the military coup of April 1964 and overthrow of neo Marxist presidency has been blunted first by oil price in creases in late 1973 then by world inflation The increases in world oil prices hit Brazil especially hard because she had become the worlds largest emerging industrial nation Growth rates for new and ex panding industries in Brazil were often in excess of those in the older established industrial countries making Brazils energy needs proportionately larger The result has been an unan ticipated shift in Brazilian for eign policy to support the inter national positions of Arab CANADAS STORY When Orange Day caused some riots By non Bowyiix One hundred years ago Or ange Day was an anniversary that was feared in some parts of Canada It was day of clashes even riots between Protestant and Roman Catholic bigots On July 12 1849 in Saint John NB an Orange process ion suddenly found that it had to pass under an arch of green ery that had been constructed over the route This meant that the Orangemen had to dip their banners which they refused to do Instead they attacked the ar ch and began tearing it down This led to such serious fighting that it is believed that 12 people were killed Neither side would admit casualties so the correct figure was never known The bodies were hidden and funerals held secretly During the fighting the mag istrates fled from the city and the mayor tried to intervene He was hit on the head by brick tossed into basement and nearly died before being rescued Troops had to be called out to quell the not There were similar clashes in Montreal and Toronto in other years One of the worst was in Montreal in 1877 In 1860 the Prince of Wales NT YOIR OPINION Letters submitted for publication mist be original copies signed by

moment is that the government still seems unbendiiig in its stand that Iaiwancsc athletes wont be permitted into the country until Canada receives assuran cc they will not attempt to represent the Republic of China And the International Olympic Committee so far seems equally unwilling to do this As result the Olympics which already cost Canada some $15 billion are seriously tlircatcnixl Some members of the IOC have sug cstcd they should be cancellet or moved elsewhere Its whopping diplomatic mess which should not have arisen at this late stage The problem was lying there from previous Olympics and it should have been tackled long ago Instead it reared its ugly head at the last minute and be fore the government and the IOt could sit down and straighten things out both sides began hardening their positions in public Now its ex ceedingly difficult for either to back down And it would have been so easy for the Canadian govern ment to make an accom modation Its position from the beginning could have been that the IOC runs the Olympics and what happens inside the sta tiums is none of the govern ments business And if the Peoples Republic of China doesnt like the way Taiwan claims to represent all of China let that country fight with the Olympic organizers LITTLE SlPPORT One thing is clear if the Games are cancelled or wa tered down the only country to applaud will be China Makes you wonder about our priorities doesnt it And at the rate we are going Canada may have trouble at tracting big international even ts in future We made huge fanfare about hosting that in ternational conference on crime last year in Toronto and few months before it was due to open we backed out We didnt want any hassles with delegates from the Palestine Liberation Organization And for the same reasons we nearly cancelled this years Habitat conference in Van couver doubt whether the United Nations will ever give serious consideration to moving its headquarters here But there is no reason why politics should become so en meshed in sports Whats the difference whether the fastest swimmer in the world claims to be representative of Mars Since our principles are so high in relation to Taiwan its worth nothing that trade be tween Canada and that country last year totalled $20 million And bet that when we were buying cheap shirts we didnt stop to ask Taiwanese business men whether they sold under the Republic of China label WES Winners losers in world trade Hy VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Mtairii Analyst Thomson News Hervlcc Tnke care of the pence for the pounds will take care of themselves Mild William Inwndcs who was chancellor of the excheqiicr during the reigns of three ltritish mvcicignh Over the last couple of years however the pound Ktorling has decidedly not bccri taken care of From value of nearly $250 in March 1975 it has sunk to about ti lhat of cmirisc its in com parison Willi dollar that has itself bccn weakening against the two hardest currencies the Swiss from and the West Ger man mark Both the British and Canadian governments are ac customed to putting the most favorable interpretation on devaluation of their currencies The theory is that as coun trys currency loses its foreign ciichangc value that countrys exports become relatively cheaper and foreign customers will rush to buy them The latest monthly survey by leading British daily news paper The Financial Times tends to bear out the theory It noted marked improvement in the number of companies ex pcricncing rising trend of new orders over the last four mon ths EXPORTSLAHHING That falls short of being in controvertible proof that weak ness of the pound or of any other currency is necessarily good for trade In the first place the upturn in British exports is pro ably the result of strong recovery in international trade that is being led by number of major industrial economics Second place if deviiluatiim were necessarily good for ex iris tiicii Switzerland would in trouble QUEENS PARK All or nothing for the premier HyDONOIIEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO In all the talk about an election and this is talk which will certainly keep boiling along until the event is actually dropped in our laps there has been little iipprecia tion of the highly critical per sonal position in which lrcmier Davis must find himself The election will be very much of an all or nothing ball of wax for the premier He will have to win it with clear majority or else or else his political career could be down the drain If in the election his govern ment is defeated the premier would almost certainly have to resign as party leader And even if he were returned with another minority which would seem the most likely prospect at the moment he would at least have to put him self before convention tightly or wrongly because much of the trend has been to put the blame on him person ally for the party decline he al most certainly would be op posed at such convention and there would be probably good chance he would lose out 131131 Tnoioirr The orchestra of God and the rogram of evangelism has roken down because we all have insisted on playing CIJI own little tune instead of taking up where the angels left off announcing that the Saviour has come to die for all on the cross and lives for all in in tercession at the right hand of the Father And now am no more in the world but these are in the world and come to thee Holy Father keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me that they maybe one as we are John 1711 THE PICK So far this year the franc has reciated on tradeweigh basis by eight per cent Despite that Swiss exports in JanuaryMarch were growing at an annual rate of more than 10 rcent hird Britains own recent history ails to confirm the sup posed advantages of decline in the value of the pound The iSpcrcent drop between Mar ch and September of 1975 didnt bring about any immediate im provement in exports Other countries arent geared up to switch from one supplier country to another on short no ticc And British exporters for their party often use level nation as means of increasing their profit margins rather than reducing their foreign currency prices An obvious example is the scotch whisky industry supremely confident of the market for its products at almost any price LESSONSIGNOREI What it all seems to mean is that governments learn little if anything from their economic hardships Despite successive declines in the value of the pound the Labor government is still in creasing the mono su ply as it it had never heardlof inflation and has indicated budget dch cit of £12 billion $2l billioni this year vs 108 billion last year Its little wonder that the fu ture of sterling has been ques tinned and that Kuwait Ni geria and other membercoun tries of the international oil cartel have been transferring funds out of the United Kingdom Prime Minister James Callaghan after an all day meeting July with industry and labor leaders announced that Britain has its best clian co in 30 years for solid rise in living standards and sustainth growth To llill Davis this would be critical blow For he has been more of political animal than anyone we have had in power around here since Mitch Hep burn He has breathed and IIVcd politics since very carl age and it has been practically his only livelihood Loss of the par ty leadership by defeat would be personal disaster CLUB Iltillllllt So what are the chances of survival The answer rests almost completely with the future As of now with the house ad journcd and the three parties resting between rounds and no particular issues or con trovcrsics heating up the at mospherc there is cooler climate in which to look at the play At this stage none of the three parties appear to have been gaining any substantial ground Most pcrtincntly the govern ment doesnt give the imprcs sion of having made many solid marks since the election last fall It has been carrying on but there hasnt been feeling of vitality or energy reflected from it or its moves SPECIAL MARK There hasnt been sign of that special mark of chain pion the mark of Winner More it has been the per formance of club fighter With the saving grace the per formances of its two opponent parties have also been those of clubfighters Will the government wake up Will it realize it is in life anddeath struggle Will it ap preciate that it has to fight to get to the minds hearts and goodwill of the people of On tario Or will it sit back and smoke cigars sedentary par ticipant in the passmg scene of Ontario politics The future of Bill Davis could depend on the answer OF PUNCH think that when it comes to putting rubber tires on top of other rubber tires he has no equal
