greater in terest to Canadians is thelcurrent drive by Canadian unions to bring Canadian workers wages into line with those paid intbe United States At recent United steel Workers conference it was agreed that Canadian workerswages shouldbe at least equal to those paid in corre sponding Ainsrlcan industries At first glance this 8081 may seem to have some validity it is common knowledge for instance that many things that Canadiansbuy are more ex pensive than the same product produced in the United States by the same or similar companiesn But little closer lookinto the situation will reveal that this would be dangerous sort of policy to pursue Our average real wages in Canada are lower than those in the United States because they have to be under our pre sent circumstances Certainly the money as distinguished from the real wages of Canada can be ralsedto any amount for above the American level but that will not benefit the average wage earn er in the least until he can use them to buy more goods And he cannot buy more goods until the goods are produced in Canada or borrowed from some other nationaswe are currently be substantial scale There is only ob muchpio to be out and if onegroup in society manages to grasp larger share some other group must takoiess Ly The amount of ggods and services available in Canada today is extremely high per capita by comparative figures ma throughout the world and is growing Our average standard of living is the second highmt ever known in history and with good management should con tinue to rise It is somewhat below that ofrthe United States however simply be cause our neighbors produce about 25 per cent more than we do per capita Moreover their productionis growing faster than oursat the moment The wonder is not that they produce more than we do but that we are able to produce almost as much For the United States possesses developed basic materials proportionately greater than ours or more efficient apparatus to pro cess them larger amount of machine power per capita market tenJAmes our size and henceall the economic benefits of mass production Untu our productive apparatus equals that of our neighbors in materials power effi ciency and economy our living standard cannot equal theirs and no change in money wages can alter the fact Opinions of Other Newspapers SOMEme BIASED Calgary Herald it is

sure to follow now so CAN You can Cleveland Plain Dealer If is difficult to believe that there are many educators who would ringvdown the curtain on William Shakespeare yet Cleveland profess sor Dr Donald nltile of the English department at Faun Collegewas quoted by the New York Times News Service as having said in sec tional meeting of the annual conference of the National Commission onTeadler Education and Professional Standards being held at Lawrence ltanthat such move is under way Some educators Dr Tutlle said feel that Shaken speare has no place in the college literature pro gram They would start teaching with Ameri can llteralure and forget all the old stuff The objections to Shakespeare the professor said stems from thefacttliat he lived during mom archy and thus his writings reflect totalitar ian period But Dr Tuttle let us hasten to add is not one of those who would toss out Shakespeare whom he considers as probably the beat writer in thehisiory of the English language And he makes thepnint that if you toss out Shakespeare you might as Well toss out The Bible and other great works jofliberaturc Fortunately he movement isnt in predict ccnfidently it never will Some Ameneans are capable from ime to time of the greatest stupidity But it seems almostnmpcssible that anyone withsufficient intelligence and background to teach college literature classes could ever consider forgetting all the old stuf English literature without Shakespeare is ut terly inconceivabl but dnnt lose any sleep over the possibili Shakespearewill be here when those who would forget

Canadian government officials are surprised and perplexed at the way Canadas atomic power program has been represented in estimony before joint con greasioual inglon Dr ard Libby former anadais Atomic

she has just started to talk about building prototype power plant Trade Minister Churchill and Gray president of tits Canada Limited are baffled by Libbysremarks They cannot such statements when they say he is well aware of theextent and success of the Canadian pro gram Other officials ay that Libby appears to he try to discredit Canadas progress the devel opment of large cale atomic power plants

Mr Flemings sleeve is that the Canadian market manulncturers slapped Quotas clothing imports and under priced Communist Chinese com petition is threatening ire tional Japanese markets in Asia In the meanwhile in order to improve their bargaining posh tion the Japanese have set about some fencemending Currently they have voluntary export quotas over which the government has no control but fare

encouragement to vegeta tion Ways to use these talents and to give all members use ful and constructive job to do were sought it was decided therefore to make much wider use of com mittees total of is were set up and they were given wide field of activities One for in stance was to examine past gov ernment spending to learn if the past had lesson for the future in economic budgeting Another was to examine the proposed spending of certain gov ernment departments to see if saving could be made of the arc payers dollar Another looked at possible ways terms ONTARIO NEEDS MORE SOURCEE OF ENERGY Sir it does not appear to be generallyrealized that Ontario has no overabundant sources of energy There are still many undevel oped water power sites but not close to the areas that need electric power Thermal stalt tionsburning fial to generate electric power are being built but the coal must be transport eda long way and isuot inex pensive Use of uranium logenerate power seems longway in the future Oil pipelines have made ma jor contribution to mtafios power needs and recently nat ural gas pipelines are doingthe same Natural gas has bad lot of knocks in Canada particularly in Ontario recently from peo pie who do not recognize or re fuse to recognizevik importance to this provinces economy They have called natural gas dangerous perhaps in some areas have slowed its accept ance in

opportunity to express themselies and their Ideas on affairs of na tional importance Already out of these commit tees have come number of comparatively new members who have demonstrated great ability
