In visit to his native loland Iope John laul II has hailed Roman atholics of the Soviet bloc for prescrvmg their faith and unity In so doing he has spoken on behalf of men and women of all faiths who view freedom of religion as an inalienable right to preserve and cherish The Icpes example must surely give courage to all people of compassion and goodwill who long have sought leader to offer moral guidance in an increasingly troubled and frac tious world Since assuming the papacy Pope John Paul has spoken out against totalitarianism of both left and right The Pope has condemned violence and terrorism and has praised human freedom that expresses itself in selfgivmg and service He has also challenged governments every where to alleviate hunger and poverty In Poland the Pope has linked the freedom of religion to creative culture Christian inspiration continues to be the chief source of the creativity of Polish artists the Pope told on outdoor mass of 500000 people This is bold challenging Pope It is appropriate that he should be welcomed back to his homeland with such fervor and love When the Pope speaks for the spiritual freedom and hope of repressed people he speaks for all humanity Dear Sir Regarding your editorial Noose wont end violence Examiner May 28 agree that capital punishment is not much of deterent but think this is phony issue Once the crime has been committedwe must deal witht eoffender ore concerned with the Vic tims and future possible victims than with the killers themselves feel we have to take stronger action against this segment of our society It doesnt seem to me that trying to rehabilitate most of these people is financially feasible Some people seem to feel the expense is inciden tal compared with the value of sav ing an individual who has commit ted serious crime and return him to useful life in our society seriously question this attitude Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service As Oliver Hardy used to say to Stan Laurel This is another fine mess youve gotten us into The oil and diesel fuel shortage in the United States is indeed fine mess not just for individual carowners but even for long distance truckers hauling perishable foods As do the Americans we depend upon the Arabdominated oil cartel as source of much of our crude oil Since 1973 the cartel has repeatedly cut back its production while increasing its sell ing prices to heights that bear no conceivable relationship to the cost of producing the oil from fields that were originally discovered and developed by western experts using western capital Instead of spurring North Americans to develop domestic oil and gas sources however the effect of the cartels squeeze has been to send the bureaucrats rushing into the marketplace as never before tying it up in yards of red tape and chanting glib slogans about conservation IDLE OIL WELLS In California where daily round trips of 100 miles between home and work are common the gasoline shortage been the most acute Yet as the Wall Street Journal reported on May 16 some 23000 of the states 66500 oil wells are closed down because the US Department of Energy has been fiddling with the pricing system since 1973 According to the Journal the independent California oil companies estimate that they we want your opinion Something on your

place Examples are feeding the hungry people in our own country pro viding decent accommodation to all our law abiding citizens looking after our native people better and working on drug and alcohol pro blems Frankly dont have much sym pathy for people who cant abide by our relatively easy laws in this country and when these people do commit serious crimes Im not in favorof helping them You might say we are at war with this segment of society and feel there should be victims on both sides Knightley Barrie Blame red tape for fuel shortage could quickly redrill or fix 15000 of the non operating wells if the market forces were allowed to determine prices Another aspect of the problem is that Alaskan crude oil although in abundant supp ly on the West Coast has relatively high sulphur content which is unsuitable to many of Californias refineries which are able to take only sweet crude from Indonesia and other sources One solution would be to sell the Alaskan crude to Japan which has more suitable refineries and to use the proceeds to import more sweet crude into California But the government has ruled against the export of Alaskan oil and so Califomias refineries have been operating at about four fifths of their capacity On top of that the US energy authorities continue to maintain gasoline price controls and an allocation system that is too inflexible for constantly changing economy and Californias has been booming since last vear ALTERNATIVE FUEL Here in Canada Messrs Trudeau and Gillespie treated the oil crisis as an op portunity to score debating points in the sterile arguments about federal and provin cial jurisdictions and to increase the govern ments revenues sharply at the expense of consumers of petroleum products The search for alternate energy sources which should have been given priority was treated lethargically and negatively As just one of several possible examples consider the development of alcohol as fuel source development that has made substantial strides in the US There it has been found that the cost of pro ducing fuel alcohol is comparable to that of gasoline that it gives better driving response and that its use doesnt con taminate the environment Alcohol can be derived from crop Jeruslam artichokes that will grow in soil that is too poor to be used for any other pur pose or it can be derived from spoiled crops or even from waste paper But our lawmakers and bureaucrats have blocked the development of this promising alternative to gasoline by requiring pro hibitive bond of $200000 before they will per mit production of more than approximately gallon an hour Perhaps they fear someone will bootleg the stuff to desperate drinkers thus endangering the govemments liquor monopoly which could teach the Arabs cartel how to over charge RE POR TE Carl De Gurse Stephen Nicholls Dennis Lanthier Nancy Figueroa Lori Cohen Richard Thomas Stephen Gauer entertainment Steve Skinner Barb Boulton CLASSIFIED Freda Shinner

Harris Blanchard Brian Marr Most of the spectators have changed themselves since the last display in 1963 and that was relatively minor show since the Conservatives had been in power for only six years at the time It was case of the Liberals assuming what they considered tb be their rightful place Probably many of the Tories felt the same way about returning to opposition But this is fullscale ceremony offering something for everyone For those with sadistic streak there are the swirming man darins trying to look unconcerned as the in coming Tories say funny things about their futures Most have served 50 long under Liberal masters they dont know quite how to behave these days Stuart Smith takes hammers of hydro certainly did drawing page one headlines JLEI calling such men irresponsible

you read in the newspapers is such wise old advice it has become cliche But it needs restating every now and then Two newspapers used quote supposedly taken from letter Premier William Davis sent the head of the transit union in Toronto Referring to the idea of legislating the drivers back to work if they went on strike it said dont like to intervene in the free col lective bargaining process but if the public of Toronto is inconvenienced have no choice but to act NOT TRUE first heard the quote while sitting on bus as two drivers discussed it and was more amazed by it than anything If there is one thing Bill Davis doesnt do it is make blunt statements like that in touchy situations where negotiations are still going on The premier has made career of blurring the sharp edges of controvery In fact no such quote existed in Davis let ter which contained nothing more than his usual letsworkitallouttogether optimism But the bus drivers took it as gospel The power of the press to invent is

like atmosphere pervades Parliament Hill SECRET SMILES For those who enjoy unbridled gaiety its worth watching the secretaries of Tory MPs who have obviously got the good word from cabinetmaker Clark They may be sworn to secrecy but they obviously heard the news All secretaries obviously want to work for cabinet minister with the varius perks of of fice including world travel For those preferring humor there are the overeager cabinet hopefuls who keep telling the press about their availability to serve One of these was Senator Claude Wagner who during the election campaign aided the Conservative cause by offering the view that only one or two Tories would be elected in Quebec This occurred while Clark was desperately trying to convince everyone that the figure might be closer to 60 Anyway despite this little variance Wagner wanted to make it clear he was free to serve No kidding said Clark aidem From the tone guessed that Wagner wouldnt make it this time Down the street from Parliament Hill reporters and photographers clustered around Joe Clarks office trying to build cabinet but at the end of one day the cabinet would seem to consist of maverick MP Tom Cossitt defeated MP Jean Pigott two Moun ties and Liberal messenger N0 EXPECTATIONS Another great sideshow was being staged by those Tory MP5 who wanted to convince everyone they didnt expect cabinet ap paintment in the first place Id be the most surprised man in Otawa if were appointed said one as he drank his sixth cup of coffee in parliamentary cafeteria havent even thought about it Later in an unguardedmmoment he said that If dont get something good out of this cabinet formation am taking the whole bloody summer off Thats more like it Hey said secretary as tried to squeeze in With the latest transition story You should have seen the look on Jim Coutts face hes Trudeaus principle secretary as look ed at his new office space in the opposition of fice My God it was fun watching the agony An aide to Liberal MP had different agony story How can get any work done when Tory secretaries keep coming in with measuring tapes to check out our office All of Parliament Hill is in glorious tur moil And even the accommodation problem cant be settled until the parties appoint new whips You can spot the Liberal employees who would be willing to switch They have stan dard opener Although

is likely to change after the official entry of Greece as the tenth member state on May 28th last This is because the more prosperous and basically industrial economies which so far make up the Markets nation members will be joined by the poorer less productive Mediterannean nations Next to join possibly in 1981 will be Spain with Portugal further down the line in the mid19805 Both countries long ago applied for membership Spain when it was still dic tatorship under the late Generalissimo Fran cisco Franco The Greek entry which is official as of January lst 1981 after the ratification by member countries of the ECM and its own Eurpean Parliament will mean benefits for its lagging agriculture But Greek industrial products already suf fering from the cheaper and often better quality goods of the northern industrial na tions may find the market even more dif ficult to penetrate Entry of Greece then Spain and Portugal means an inflow of market funds to help boost economies and bring workers salaries up to the level of other Common Market members work forces COMPLEX MEMBERSHIP The integration periods are lengthy down from seven years originally proposed to five but in the case of Greece with the original seven years in force for free entry ongreek tomatoes and peaches into the market Thesé are two fine Greek farm products which are already very competitive with those from other market members The Greek economy which has suffered from the severe swings of the countrys political process during the 605 and 705 has already benefited from dutyfree access of Greek goods to the market But membership means the fragile Greek economy would be optn to very competitive and much lowercost northern European manufactured products This is beacuse Greece as member would be inside the common market tariff wall How Greece copies in this regard may in fluence the kind of bargaining the Spanish and Portuguese will conduct for ultimate en try into the ECM The Spanish economy in country of 40 million people is more dynamic and much larger than the Greek And the Spanish com pete successfully already with wide range of products from the northern nations These range from ships to wines with the Spanish in the former instance as the worlds fourth largest shipbuilder and in the latter as one of the worlds largest producers of fine table and sherry wines Already there are loud squawks from the various provincial organizations representing French wine growers in Burgundy the Loire valley about Spain and the Common Market PORTUGAL NOT READY As for Portugal it is severely plagued with economic difficulties These include high tariffs to protect local manufacturing in dustries buffetted by the countrys socialist politics Portugal might not become an ECM member nation for many years Interpreting the news US inflation fight difficult WASHINGTON CP US administra tion officials are facinga difficult task in try ing to get President Carters inflation fight off the canvas The already shaky program of voluntary wage and price restraian received knockdown blow when federal judge ruled that Carter had no constitutional authority to deny federal contracts to companies violating the guidelines Inflation fighter Alfred Kahn and other US officials insisted after the judges deci sion that the antiinflation program can con tinue even if Carter is unable to carry out his threat to deny $5 million or more in govern ment contracts to companies which ignored the guidelines The problem for the administration is to find new paths to follow besides seeking stay of the judges ruling while an appeal is heard The antiinflation program Carter announc ed last year called for restricting annual price increases to about 525 per cent and wage increases to about seven per cent The program was Voluntary but Carter wanted to use carrot wage insurance pro gram to provide workers with tax credits if inflation rose higher than seven per cent and stick the denial of government contracts to violators as means of ensuring compliance Congress quickly ate away at the carrot refusing to give Carter the wage insurance plan he wanted Now Judge Barrington Parker has taken away the stick Analysts suggest the administration out side of formal appeal has three choices for responding to the judges ruling continuing the antiinflation program in its weakened form allowing it to die slowly or seeking new legislation from Congress to grant Carter the authority the judge says does not now exist Each course of action has its difficulties Congress has in the past shown no reluctance to slap down requests from Carter and it might end up giving the president more trou ble than help Pursuing diminished program might result in unions becoming impatient about seeing the decline of workers purchasing power and they may turn away from the wage restraint program
