Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO new trinket has been added to the embel lishments of the Ontario Parlialt ment We now have legislative in terns These are young people mainly university students in political science who are being retained for 10month periods at salary of $8500 During that period they will act as legislative assistants to private members five months with government member and five with an opposition member The purpose of course is to give them some experience with the practical side of p0litics and Parliament and in cidentally to give the various private members some help SOME BENEFITS It is probably good idea but also probably not nearly so good as the young men and women will expect when they start out starryeyed on their assignments They will be occupied mainly in two fields Riding work and research Handling constituency work will have certain benefits It will familiarize the interns with some of the ministries of government and probably will give them some grasp of the tortures of trying to peel ones way through the layers of bu reaucracy Just what can be gained from doing research for private members particularly on the government side is question able They may do research but then most often could face the prospect of nothing being done with it The opportunities for private members to speak their minds and0r their research are not that many However at the end of their 10 months they will have lear ned something most likely the lesson that though at times the Friday Nov I976 are not kidding energy research needed We have not heard the end of it as Canadians to pressure governments far as the energy crisis is con to encourage development of re newable energy sources We are sceptical cow manure and the sun and wind will provide the complete energy answer but it is important organizations like Ener gy Probe are looking into them Ultimately it will be the public who will get government turned on to energy research As it stands now government in particular is nig gardly providing scientists with research money of any kind The time for government to start spending money on ener is now The warning has been eard Will

Canadians will be awaiting the possible impact on our economy of the first Democratic ad ministration in the United States since 1968 On the basis of the positions taken by Presidentelect Carter during his campaign Canadians could see his victory as mixture of good news and bad news The good news is that Mr Carter will almost certainly take whatever measures he can to stimulate the growth of the US economy which has been running out of steam during the last two months Anything that would bring about renewal of the upward trend of the US economy ought to have some spillover effect here since the bqu of our foreign trade is with the USand since Canada has usually derived direct benefit from US economic recoveries in the past The bad news is that Mr Car ter might well in the tradition of the Democratic Party take the easy approach to growth that is achieve it through rapid increase in the money supply at would mean massive renewal of inflation which the Republican administration of Gerald Ford has brought down to current level of about 55 per cent And rapid rise in the US inflation rate would inevitably put upward pressure on Can adas inflation rate undoing much of our painful antiin flation effort of the past year SLOWER GROWTH In the six months from April to September inclusive the US Gross NatiOnal Product grew by slightly more than four per cent while unemployment rose to 78 per cent of the US labor force The growth rate matters be cause unemployment remains high and fourpercent real growth rate will cut into it very slowly says the economics group at the Chase Manhattan Bank Growth faster than four per cent seems likely in 1977 but in dications suggest only five per cent or so at best Such moderate rate of US growth could bring about serious deterioration in con fidence among American con sumers and decline in busi ness capital spending later In olitical terms it would be high distasteful to new Democratic administration Even though new president has little power to make quick changes in established eco nomic policies Mr Carter could begin by seeking author ity to cut taxes as shot in the arm for the US economy But if that didnt prove to be sufficient stimulus he might well opt for the risky but popu lar in the short term course of monetary expansion and more inflation CANADAS STORE Two ObJeCthBSZ conversion money By BOB BOWMAN Although

David Mortell President The economic slowdown is not the only pressing situation that will face Jimmy Carter when he becomes US president in January He will have to try to estab lish relationship with the new leaders in China possibly with the help of new and untried secretary of state in place of Henry Kissinger Then theres the threat of an other major increase in the world price of crude oil which the Arabdominated producers grtel may impose in Decem And the weakening of the cur rencies and the economies of the United Kingdom and of Mexicotwo countries with which the US has especially close tiesseems to demand some sort of US action and support The US has during the eight years of Republican adminis tration largely abandoned its international economic lead ership and left vacuum But it would be unrealistic to expect Mr Carter to fill that vacuum quickly His inter national exposure and accept ance are both limited and he will almost certainly have to give immediate priority to the task of creating jobs for the people who elected him Canadians can only hope that as Mr Carter sets about the job of stimulating the US economy he can stick to the middle road between inflation and recession cause Protestants were not allowed to come to Canada Economically the develop ment of Canada was failure as far as France was con cerned The religious objective was far more successful and many Indians were converted In some ways the French co lonists themselves were more difficult than the Indians Granted the Indians often tor tured and killed the mis sionaries They sometimes be gan their tortures by saying Father you tell us that the way to heaven is through suf fering We are going to help you get there The priests often had severe problems keeping their own French colonists under control Bishop Laval was prepared to excommunicate people who ttraded liquor to Indians for urs The religious campaign got great lift about Nov5 1711 when news reached Quebec that powerful British invasion fleet had run aground near Sept Iles and sailed back to Britain People flocked to the churches to give thanks and for some time citizens of Quebec Three Rivers and Montreal vied with each other to put away frivo lous modes of living and follow the dictates of the church
