The ifiarrir iEXamincr Published by Canadian Newspapers Ltd id Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario PAGE FOUR FRIDAY MAY 11 135 EDITORIAL Municipal censorship Recently the Reeve of Vespra Gar man Downey stated at board meeting that no report of council proceedings of that township was allowed to be publish ed in the press without first the approval of the township clerk in fact he inti mated that no reporter could alt at an open council meeting and tell the story as he saw it The other day the Reeve of Wasaga Beach Eric lawmson asked his council lors for resolution requiring all press releases be censored by the village clerk Here again presumably the reporter had to sit through the meeting write the story and then submit it to the clerk for approval before it could be published in the press Fortunately in the latter case council members had the good sense not to fav our such motion Apparently in the township of Vespra there exists municipal censorship At Wasaga Beach there is move who would like to see such censorship imposed lProbably both gentlemen who in pri vate life would abhor any suggestion of dictatorship or censorship would state the reason for such action was inaccur acies of press reports It cannot be denied that mistakes are made in reports on occasions Reporters are no more infallible than councillors and in the opinion of some councillors make enough mistakes There is no de nying too that often words in black print while basically correct put dif ferent complexion on things It depends so much as to which side or the fence you are standing But mistakes can be corrected in print NEARING DANGER POINT Oshawa Times The phrase blunt and outspoken has been used so often to describe business men labor lea ders and almost anyone who fails to hide his ideas under bushels of words that it has become cliche But trite or not it is valid description of Ambridge president of Ahitibi Power and Paper Ltd Mr Ambridge lived up to his reputa lion this week when he testified before the Com mons resources committee at Ottawa Mr Amhridge may have been guilty of some slight exaggeration in getting his point across to the committee members sometimes sit in my office on University avenue in Toronto and look out at all the new buildings going up and think if we let our exports go this town will be ghost town he said His advice to governments lStop hardening us Stop regarding us as milk cow as big industry with his source of money on Abitibis Ontario operations 55 per cent of the ncome goes to the federal and provincial govern menfs while in Michigan the total rate is 49 per cent wood is onethird cheaper and plant can construclion 50 per cent cheaper than in Ontario so Abitibi built $21 million plant in Michigan We wouldnt spend fivecent piece on new plant

less than Cande News oi FonnerYears MAY 30 1935 Dry weather caused trouble at the Midhurst Forest Station where 170 men were employed and until rain came Superintendent Adamson stated that it was the driest season in his expen lanes when lifting and planting trees The roots had to be kept moist and with thousands planted daily and the hot sand sifting into the trenches Shipping too was well under way with supplies of some species already depleted such as white cedar soft maple hard maple and polar cut tings but they still had plenty of red and white pine spruce and jack pine The community of Cooksan was shocked at the death of Dr Scott their physician and he wasalso well known throughout South Simone He had suffered serious iniuries in motor accident and had been in the Toronto Gen eral Hospital since then Dealh was caused by fall from the fifth floor balcony of the Private wrong statements can be retracted if need be Censorship is not the way nor will any selfrespecting reporter stand for such action if he covers council meeting Municipal councils are elected by the people to conduct the business of the peo ple The people have right to know what the councillors are doing without muni cipal censorship or how else can they Judge if they havothe right men in the Job While not questioning for moment the integrity of either the men of Vespra or Wasaga Beach it has to be admitted that municipal censorship cuts across all the basic beliefs in Canadian democracy It lends itself to the man ipulation of the news by the unscrupul ous it leads to complete dictatorship Perhaps both the reeves quoted have failed to read thoroughly the Municipal Act Section 210 of the act provides that the ordinary meeting of the council shall be open and no personshall be excluded therefrom except for improper conduct There is nothing in the act to say that any municipal authority may censor the thoughts words or writings of those who attend these meetings How then can these men who have been elected for their clear thinking believe that they can effectively censor reporter attend ing such meeting Municipal government reaches den gerous stage when the leaders of the community start thinking in terms of censorship These are facts which should be borne well in mind by the electorate and remembered when next reeves and councillors seek office Opinions of Other NerSpapers But exaggeration or not the point of Mr Arn bridges statement is still valid exports are vital to the Canadian economy but if we cannot com petein the world market because our prices are too high we are in for some very hard times indeed Canadian business is at the point where it has to run faster and faster to stay in the same place It has to boost sales and at higher prices simply to stay solvent Certain obvious cost factors that affect production have been talked about great dealhut not so much has been said about the disc of taxes on the cost of doing business in this regard Mr Ambrldge took his message to the right placeand it is pity that there are not more articulate business men to preach the same lesson from the some pulpit mam ro sour Windsor Star it is not so long

well succeeded in making his record the only real issue Which makes for calm campaign But behind this there is story building up There are issues of the era devel oping which by tbe next election should be matters of hot debate The Liberals in this campaign are just touching the fringe of some of them Homeownership and pensions are two of them In addition there are others that arent being touched at all Aging and occupation of the elderly is one of these Another is the length of the work week and the balance of demand wages and production to inflation By the next vote there should he fresh set of questions concerning the public By that time at least some of them will have comeJo the stage where they must be discussed So in effect we will have mainly new cast acting in new play The

Correspondent For The Barrie Examiner UllAWA The first Atlantic th congress will be formally opened by Queen Elizabeth in London Engon June II will consist of 650 citizens representing the 15 allies in the North Atlantic Treadv Organization lbe declared purpose of the congress is to bring together the ablest and most distinguished citizens representative of the principal aspects ofnaiional life in the NATO countrlesto 0011 am alder ways and means of further developing cooperation particu larly in economic and political affairs between the North Amer ican and European member coun tries of NAT Without any doubt the most serious problem which will face the Atlantic congress is the eco nomic breach which is fast widening between the NATO part ners on the two sides of the At lantic with great farsighlcdness our Liberal government in years ago insisted that the North Atlantic treaty should pledge its support ers to create an economic part nersbip as well as military al linnce thu the treaty came into effect Hon lester Pearson then our foreign minister pub llcly declared his belief that this provisionwidely known as The Canadian Cluusewould lead to the creation of an economic coma monweallh and perhaps uiLl mater political commonwealth of the nations around the North Atlantic basin Nothing less he gravely but wisely asserted would ALL FOR WAR Largely through American or position and Canadian inertia this economlc clause of the treaty has been ignored Our European Allies grew tired of NATOS fail um to take that urgentlyneeded step towards economic partner ship and already six oflhem have gone ahead without North American participation to form huge customs union of 162000 000 souls The other European allt last year in order to have live creature to match the

These developments will leave tiny Canada isolated on our hlgls cost economic plateau Already trade rivalries be tween thesegroups are intensify ing and seem likely to assume proportions which will split the very foundations of the Atlantic once What steps can we take to an able tha NATO Allin to wage successfully the cold or coo4 nomlc war against the Commun lst bloc and to enable us to main tain indefinitely the heavy cost of dalerrcnt against nuclear aggres sionl Above all what can we in Canada do to enable our iso lated economy to support our prcsent standard of living let alone one which will rise stead ily These are the grave prob lems confronting delegates at the Atlantic congress This of course is nqt now or unforeseen crisis CANADIANS IGNORE Mr Pearson foresaw this need 10 years ago when he made that famous statement Five years ago group of Canadians al ready worricd by lack of action towards an economic partnership within NATO played apromln out part in drafting The Declara ion of Atlantic Unity urging im mediate implementation af The Canadian Clause and they played the leading role in organ izing an international deputation to present the declaration to the council of NATO Approximately 60 prominent Canadians have endorsed that declaration including Prime Min istcr Didenbaker Liberal Leader Pearson CCF Leader Caldwell all our prominent lsbcr leaders as well as university presidents religious leaders bankers news paper publishers and writers and industrialists Against that background it comes as more than shock to learn that Canadas 45 delegates to the Atlantic congress consist predominantly of backheach pol itlcians and of equally undlslin guished private citizens very few selected for their leadership or for their knowledge of and inter est in Atlantic affairs but very many because they have rendered some small service to the Con servative Parti Only one signer of the declaration is included The chartered airliner carry ing Canadians to the
