The Barrie Examiner Thursday March 17 1977 Plenty of pressure at top of carnival Have fun at winter carnival this year Too much to see and do Too lit tle Whatever the carnival on the surface behind the scenes it was murder Carnival chairman Ed has recommended that chairmen have more next year What the whole thing to is that few people and the weather are responsible for turn ing carnival into success or committee chairmen who are businessmen are not in position of devoting all of their time to the project Is carnival heading in the same was to you direction as the Barrie and District United peal Will it ecome necessary to hire Tschirhart committee assistance boils down fulltime person to carry the load Whatever the answer the proverb many hands make light work can be applied

any number of circumstances one cant say anything for certain But as of the moment these three issues would appear to be the hopeful basic fighting ground of the vote ALL PREACHING That is it will be if the three parties can get their way For quite some time now it has been evident in which direction the three parties have been heading The government has been beating the drum loud and strong for free enterprise Both its speeches and its pol icies have been built around this key target The New Democratic Party 112 Earrir Examiner 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Telephone 7266537 Registration

ozone layer While Liberal Stuart Smith of course has been roaming all over the province preaching na tional unity and trying to get someone to pay attention NO FIGHTS Recognizing that these are the grounds that the parties want to fight on there is quite another question on whether they will be able to work it so this will actually happen It relly takes two to tangle to make good issue and it is doubtful if any of the three par ties will want to get involved on the matters that the others want them to One cant for example see Stephen Lewis getting into an argument of socialism versus free enterprise He wouldnt gain an inch the president of the Barrie branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses at the annual meeting in Community HouseBarrie dairies delivering milk to the Camp nounced today

area an that retail home It is interesting that the gov ernments campaign hasnt been negative antismialism one but positive pro free en terprise Then how much of an argu ment is the government going to get into on the environment It will defend its record It will have to But it will prob ably do little more than set the record straight 1t knows very well that today the environment is like God and that there is nothing to gain in fightingit And as for Stuart Smith and national unity the other two leaders have already made it clear they intend to ignore him The picture appears to be that we will either have three parties preaching and no good fight orand more likely that something will come up be tween now and the vote in which they will all have to get involved CANADAS STORY Fenians helped Confederation By BOB BOWMAN Fortunately St Patricks Day is happy occasion in Canada Perhaps the only af fliction in the preponderance of phoney Irish music on the radio somthing the Irish themselves would never tol erate However there was St Pat ricks Day that caused con siderable alarm it was in 1866 when the Fenians had mobilized in the United States and were threatening to attack Canada and New Brunswick The MacdonaldCartier gov ernment ordered troops to be mobilized along the border and the militia was called for duty in New Brunswick During the ni of March 16 volunteers on horseback from house to house along the New Bruns wickMaine border and urged every male citizen capable of bearing arms to be prepared to resist an attack There was known to be strong force of Fenians at Port land Me expected to try to iii vade New Brunswick on St Patricks Day The attack never took place but small group of them did try to land on Campobello Island famous later as the summer home of Franklin Roosevelt and now an inter national park They were eas ily repelled Later in May they made strong attack on the Niagara Peninsula but were defeated af ter three days of fighting Other attacks on the Eastern Townships of Quebec and the Manitoba border also were de feated Soviet Union China cause waves in Pacific By THE CANADIAN PRESS The Soviet Union and China are flexing their diplomatic muscles in the South Pacific Ocean and Australia New Zea land and the United States are beginning to take notice The island countries of Tonga Fiji and Western Samoa are the focal points as the two Communist giants try to extend their influence in previously untested sphere For the Russians in telligence experts believe the interest in the South Pacific is in obtaining yearround fishing ports The Chinese see the Soviet resence as threat and aresee ingtooffsetit In povertystricken Western Samoa the Chinese have estab lished an eightman embassy and are reputed to have given the country $28 million in aid The Soviet Union has tried to negotiate fishing agreement with Western Samoa but so far without success In Fiji the Chinese have established threeman em bassy but have not yet ap

tircly lcgitimtitc question By JOHN HARIIRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Did Prime Minister iicrrc Irudcaus recent visit to Wash ington and his hope of drawing close to the new American pres ident represent voteface turnaround in the foreign policy directions he had laid down in 1970 These were defined in six pol icy papers five on special areas and generam paper none of which were specifically directed at CanadianAmcrican relations What they did was to specify the prime ministers change in foreign policy direction as out lined by him in an important statement May 25 1968 The basic change it proposed was not downgrading or any major change in the historic CanadaUnited States relation ship but basic change from VCInlll foreign policy roles as pursued since the Second World War Ihesc had been to pursue our world role as an honest fixer in international crises in which we lid not play direct party and to maintain our function in peacekeeping and collective se curity functions The shift made by Trudeau in 19681970 was to see foreign pol icy more as an extension of na tional goals economic well being social justice and sover eignty protect ion 11 was meant as former ex ternal affairs minister Mitchell Sharp elaborated in 1969 to put more emphasis on policy ob jectivos and interests and less on role and influence later corollary to the For eign Policy for Canadians docu ment of 1970 was the unveiling of the prime ininisters socallcd When you consider how dc finitive Mr Levesque was in demanding complete independ cncc for Quebec thought it was just bit surprising he didnt tick off some of his own members who have recently been playing down this over riding goal But when Economic Development Minister Bernard Landry suggested Quebec could achieve its goals without inch pcndencc the prcniicr didnt is suc any contradictory state ment And neithcr did he shoot down backbcnchcr Gerald Godin who claiming ht was pinch hitting as speaker for the premier suggested lllt provitt cc could remain onfcdcration 1f the anadian people want their Country to stay together so much that they are willing to give us the status wc long for the political and economic environment in which our cene turicsold frustrations will disappear then we arc willing to remain in onfcdcrzit ion That certainly didnt sound likc the chcsquc Doctrine Re incmbcr how he used to say that married couples oftcn find grcater happiness by getting divorce and co existing as good ncighbors Apart from sonic vague rcfcicnccs to sort of coiiiinonmarket relationship there was no suggestion of any continuing bonds between Que bcc and thc remaining prov iiiccs So at the vcry least ex pected thc prcmicr to publicly proclaim that Mr iodin and Mr Landry were not speaking on behalf of the larti Qucbccois when they said it was possible THE WORLD TODAY PM redefines our objectives lhird Option during and af ter for him the nearly disastrous 1972 federal election in brief this was meant to concentrate on the third of three opt ions related to our best tradc interests The first would be to st rcngtlicn the status qiio where the US market would remain our major export outlet The second would be to develop this trend even further The third Would be to liver sify our trade efforts into other regions the European Common Market even more with Japan and the Peoples Republic of China make major trade thrust in applicable Third World markets in Asia Latin America and Africa Again the inference was the lessening of effort to serve the stilldominant American mar ket With trade as with our for eign policy the close American connection was underplayed to say the least Such spontaneous personal outbursts as those made by Mr Trudeau during Soviet visit in 1971 on ways to guarantee Ca nadian sovereignty and his grilo or victory shout in Cuba in 1976 for Castros revolution led to wide coin inent that he was is basically antiAmerican Following the successful Washington visit of late Febru ary Claude Ryan eminent publisher and editor of Mon treals Le Devoir wrote an editorial to the effect we cannot have our cake and eat it too with the United States if we wish harmony with her The prime minister in Wash ington was under new and not unanticipated pressures from 1970 from Quebec separatists to redefine on the spot our rela tions with the UniteobStates for Quebec to remain in onr federation IIIIALIIIY Instead he said this Wi never said that by political soy crcignty that is thc right of Quebec to govern itself lccly like any normal people we never said

rcmember Prime Minis tcr Trudcaus comment when Mr chcsquc recently opened session of the legislature without any refcrcncc to in dependence 1f the premier docs think Quebec can achieve its aspirations within con lcdcration thats good news said the prime minister But am little afraid of bear tiap in tlic other hand perhaps the Qtitbcc prcmicr has taken serious view of warnings from both Mr lriidcau and Finance Ministcr Donald Macdonald that if he achicvcs iii lcpcndcnce he would have tough time ncgotititing any economic agreements with the remaining provinces This is no time to be economically isolatcd Its obvioLisly too carly to do cidc why the larti Quebecois may be changing its viewpoint biil perhaps thc answers will cmcrgc as we all begin asking What docs Qiicbcc want YOUR BUSINESS Budget stimulus no easy way out By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The continuing rise in unem ploymentto 79 per cent of the labor force in February uts new emphasis on the nee for effective counteraction in the federal budget March 31 The jobless total last month was 932000 highest on record The January unemployment rate seasonally adjusted was 75 per cent In the past when the Trudeau government has faced rising unemployment and an absence of economic growthas it now doesit has turned to the primitivetool of inflation All indications are that it will use the same blunt instrument again this year especially sin ce inflation dipped below six percent annual rate briefly late in 1976 Release of the sorry unem ployment figures coincided with the publication of report by the Canadian Economic Policy Committee CEPC broadly based citizens group representing labor business and other sectors key point in its recommen dations which Ottawa would do well to heed was this We must resist the tempta tion to overstimulate the econ omy thereby exacerbating the basic longterm inflationary forces and setting in motion negative repercussions in ter ms of higher future unem ployment rates DESTROYING JOBS The policymakers are not doing the labor force any favors when they pump up the in flationary pressures Inflation rather than being cure for unemployment is one of the factors that are helping to destroy jobs Thats because inflation to gether with the costs of our high level of social services have pushed Canadian wages and other costs of doing business to something like the worlds highest As Canadian products have become more expensive and less competitive on inter national markets our exports WE WANT YOUR OPINION Letters submitted

been rein forced by the governments im Sition of 15percent roll ack in corporate profit mar gins effectively removing the main source of ca ital with which business coul expand if it did have the incentive of com petitive markets Then theres the relatively low level of tariff protection that somenot allCanadian manufacturing industries have In theory tariffs are low so that Canadian consumers will have the benefit of greater com petition in the marketplace In fact however some Canadian manufacturers have been bank rupted by import competition after which the foreign produc ers having the Canadian mar ket to themselves jack up their prices SEEKING GROWTH What does it all add up to Less workfewer sales for business therefore fewer jobs in manufacturing and construc tion The solution then surely isnt to be found in still more in flation which would make our competitive position even weaker Nor is it any solution to drift along with the ineffective in dustrial and economic policies that have kept the unem ployment rate about seven per cent for 18 of the last 24 months The stimulus that is needed in the March 31 budget isnt the trite and popular stimulus of big tax cuts easy money makework projects and the like Rather what is needed is concerted effort to stimulate the real growth of production to recapture export markets that we have lost to lowercost countries Last year in our current transactions with other coun tries we had deficit of $42 billion Unlike during the decade of the 19505 when we borrowed to finance productive longterm investment we now are borrowing to
