is it already weakening By GARRY FAIRBAIRN WASHINGTON CP Jim my Carters foreign policy is less than 40 days old but its foundation may already be weakening As Democratic candidate for the presidency he promised moral foreign policy one that would give high priority to promoting human rights The pledge appealed to both liberals and conservatives who could respectively look forward to verbal assaults on such gov ernments as those of South Korea and the Soviet Union After moving into the White House Carter acted rapidly to make good on his promise So vietbloc dissidents received powerful supporting voice and US allies found their aid allot ments reduced because of hu manrights violations However as his policy began to take concrete form its inevi table problems emerged and prompted increasing ex pressions of doubt Commentators were quick to link Carters criticism of Lgan dan dictator Idi Amin with Amins treatment ofAmericans living in Uganda While no one suggested that concern for human rights be re moved from policy there were general warnings that morality can be carried too far Some of those warnings came from friendly foreign leaders in diplomaticallyrestrained lan

much is being said these days about how dif ficult it is for English and French to share the same country it is fascinating to continue persuing Lord Durhams tonclusions of 12 years ago And considering how bleak things looked back then its amazing we have survived as nation in the meantime When Lord Durham reached Qticbcc thcn Lower anada he coined phrase that was to become great anadian

lhomsoii News Service Too bad that all the thought and effort currently being do Voted to ending the antiinv flation program are not being devoted to fighting inflation it self If they were inflation might be brought under control and the restraints program could witherawaynaturally Instead speculation about techniques and timing of do control seems to have become the most popular mental ex ercise of hiday Antiinflation Board Chair man JcaiiLuc Iepin called brief news conference the other day and began it with an exquisitely reasoned cxposit ion of the various approaches to dccontrol and the nature of the post control economy The same questions Iiavc at tractcd thc attention of the 1D llowc ltcsearch Institute pri vate Montrealbased tank In its newly published 1977 policy review entitled An Agen da for Change the instilutes director of policy analysis Judith Maxwell says that the federal government must be prepared to remove all or some of the controls as early as the end of this month But with the CHipcration of the provinces it could she ad ds plan on removing the con trols later in 1977 when the demand conditions will still be appropriate and the state of in flation expectations will be more liker to favor graceful exit think IIOW Il BEGAN Lets step back for moment and take look at the history of the controls program In 1975 inflation and iii flationary psychology were beating tip as never before in Canada Just 17 months ago consumer prices were rising at the divisions of French and English No one is suggesting things arcthis bad in 1977 But back then Lord Durham obviously didnt think the English and French could continuc to exist for any length of time in Quebec The hostility which thus pervades society was some time growing before it be came of prominent im portance in the politics of the Province It was inevitable that such social feelings must end in deadly political strifc The French regarded with jealousy the influence in politics of daily increasing body of the strangers whom country he was watching Basque separatism and made some interesting coin pziiisons This lack of interest by the ITS media in Canadian events even during the of ficial visit of the anadian prime minister to see President Jimmy Carter in Washington was noted earlier in my column The big news in Washington the day our prime minister spoke to Congress was President ar tcrs first budget The CIIA conference was concurrent with meeting of the rovincial Liberal party of Ontario where again the Davis government was at tacked for many things iii cluding its slackness on bilingual policy imple mentation And in Montreal Canada Quebec association which al ready indicates its initial membership is creeping close to 15000 has been Iaun cited by group of citizens and with the support of Quebec Liberal Herbert an annual rate of 14 per cent by one measuriiigvst ick The controls introduced in ctober 1975 imposed wage increase ceiling of the inflation rate plus two to four percentage points year and ltrpcrccnt reduction in corporate profit margins Pepin defines this as bal ance saying that you have to stack the cards against the businessman BIBLE THOUGH Know ye that the Lord be is God it is he that hath made us and not we ourselves we are his people and the sheep of his pasture Psalm 1003 No one knows us like the one who made us If anything goes wrong it is only normal that we should take ourselves back to Him He careth for you Oh Lord the one who created us heal us where we are hurting just now in Jesus name Amen they so much disliked and dreaded the wealthy English were offended at fin ding that their property gave them no influence over their French dependents And Heaven forbid there was even talk of Quebec separatism in the late 18305 as the English residents of the province considered breaking ties with Britain As Lord Durham reported to the King Without aban doning their attachment to their mother country they have begun as men in state of uncertainty are apt to do to calculate the probable con sequences of separation if it should unfortunately oc Tctley member of the National Assembly And so we are launched on the great national debate what to do to keep the country united Will all these motions work Will they do any good Already senior Parti Quebecois cabinet ministers are telling visiting in dustrialists in private sessions that certain areas of mutual concern now are nonnegotiable THEGAIWIDENS large gap exists between the urbane conference proposal of York University President Ian Macdonald and the Third Worldstyle political language of Gerald Godin He is selfconfessed militant in the Quebec in dependence movement since 1964 Godin speaks of his govern ment reversing history and that the PQ is respon sible only to the people and reality One hopes we can as they say still dialogue in this country At the time the government announced that controls would remain until the end of 1978 But opposition to the controls especially on the part of organ ized labor has been consistent When the inflation rate dipped below six per cent in late 1976 the government seems to have given in to the critics of con trols Since then the inflation rate has been accelerating again This month for example began with 20percent jump in istal rates fourcenta gal on increase in gasoline with similar or bigger rise due in July sevenpercent domestic airfare boost and so on BULGE AHEAD It is important to recognize that no matter when the con trols are removed there will be bulge of wage and price iii creases concedes economist Maxwell of the HRI The key is to minimize the cur and be followed by an in corporation with the United States In spite of the shock which it would occasion their feelings they undoubtedly think that the should find some compen tion in the promotion of their interests they believe that the influx of American emigration would speedin place the English racein majority Lord Durham said some of Quebecs English residents were confident that the Americans would make very speedy and decisive set tlement of the pretensions 0t theFrench ENGLISH SEPARATISTS And here is something that sounds familiar in the current debate And they believe that after the first shock of an entirely new political state had been got over they and their posterity would share in that amazing progress and that great material prosperity which every days experience shows them is the lot of the people of the United States Its difficult to realize that Lord Durham is talking about the discontented English since we now are too used to hearing it about the French But there is no doubt to whom he is referring And if they find that that authority is to be exerted in such manner as to sub ject them again to what they call French dominion feel perfectly confident that they would attempt to avert the results by courting on any terms union with an Anglo Saxon people Such is the lamentable and hazardous state of things produced by the conflict of races which has so long divided the Province of Lower Canada and which has assumed the formidable and irreconcilable character which have depicted Whether the current diffi culties are irreconcilable re mains to be seen But Lord Durham would no doubt be glad to know that the English separatists have been singularly silent for the last century or so size of the bulge through com bination of measures Her suggestions monitor ing agency the use of moral suasion and tax reduction to improve real purchasing power But each of those approaches would if history is any guide be waste of time We have had monitoring agencythe federal Prices and Incomes Commission It had no effect whatever on the rise ofin flation Moral suasion has been used almost continuously It has al ways been total failure ema nating from government and prime minister whose spend ing habits are probably the most irresponsible that Cana dians have ever seen tax reduction would have to be big enough not just to offset current inflation but to put significant amount of money in to consumers hands before it could do much good Govern ments wont go for it Gravel pits battle closing By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service Abandoned gravel pits look little like the backside of the moon They are gray scars in an often idyllic andscape Trucks carting the gravel are noisy cause dust and con gestion problems and up until March this year when using tarpaulins became compulsory wrecked Windshields with re markable frequency In short gravel its and quar ries suffer public relations problems of the same magnitude as those of Ugandas Idi Amin Theres no doubt the un sightly eyesore of pit can shock traveller cruising some scenic highway route But its the rare car driver who remembers that the road hes riding on so smoothly ex ists only because of plentiful supply of pits supplying sand gravel and crushed stone WHERE USED Half the aggregates delivered in Ontario go into road building and maintenance with propor tions reaching 70 per cent in the North The province uses one third the municipalities two thirds Much of the remainder is used in construction The clash between the need for gravel pits and their unde sirability in the eyes of local residents those on truck routes and tourists has long bedevilled the industry The Ontario government de cided to set up task force of provincial municipal industry and public figures to see where they went from here The Ontario Mineral Aggre gate Working Party as it is quaintly known brought down weighty 232page analysis of the business in January GOVERNMENT RAPPED It savaged the provincial gov ernment for totally in adequate effort under the present Pits and Quarries Act and recommended complex twotier system that would hopefully reduce local objection to pits while still ensuring ade quate supplies near the aggre gate market Reaction is already coming in especially from critics of provincial aggregate policy such as the Federation of Ag gregate Studies They see no reason why the pits have to be close to mar kets or as one of their sympa thizers put it disru tive in dustrial activity shoul be car ried on where it disrupts as lit tle as possible and as few people as possible The battle lines now are drawn in verbal war that looks like it is just beginning MEANING For the average person wat ching from the sidelines itll probably mean couple of things The province looks like it has finally woken up to its task of ensuring rehabilitation takes place in workedout pitswhich is good And likely more and more pits will be further and further away from markets since while it is doubtful FAS will win its fight to phase out gravel pits in southern Ontario entirely theyre pointing the way toward limiting the desecration by pits in highpopulation areas For the person paying taxes for roads or rentingbuying home that costs will go upand thats bad CANADAS STORY Expedition failure By BOB BOWMAN Jacques Cartier was bitterly disappointed March 1540 when French nobleman the Sieur de Roberval was ap pointed viceroy of Canada Car tier deserved the honor but had to serve under Roberval who kept delaying the departure of their expedition After waiting year Cartier sailed for Canada without permission It was his last voyage One of the reasons why Rob aval had
