DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for JUNE 10,617 TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1951 3 * Good Financing Elsewhere in today's issue of The Times- Gazette there appears a review of the finan- cial plan whereby the Oshawa 'Public Utili- ties Commission proposes. to undertake large-scale expansion of its waterworks plant and distribution system. This expan- sion program, it is estimated, will cost $1,- 250,000, but by the expedient of making a 25 per cent increase in the water rates, it will be possible for the Commission to finance this huge undertaking on a 20-year debenture basis. There is too little public understanding of the manner in which large municipal under- 'akings can be financed in such a manner as to spread the burden as lightly as pos- sible over the general public. In this case, the waterworks extensions will not add one cent to the taxes of the ratepayers of Osh- awa. They will be financed entirely out of the revenues of the waterworks department of the Public Utilities Commission, and the increase in the water bills of the individual will scarcely be felt. There is always the possibility, too, that as the city expands and water services multiply, the individual cost will come down. The Public Utilities Commission is to be commended, not only on its careful study of the financial aspects of the proposed expan- sion program, but also on taking the trouble to have a clear-cut statement prepared so that the citizens of Oshawa can be given the full facts as to the financial obligations be- ing placed on them, and how it is going to be met. , i § Director. Warns U. K. Government » The other day, on this page, reference was made to the changed attitude of Aneur- in Bevin, left-wing British Socialist, who had advocated in the House of Commons that private enterprise be assigned the task of searching for rare and essential minerals. Now from another important source, comes a statement which shows that in at least some of Britain's leading Labor men there are doubts as to the effectiveness of the government's policy of nationalization. ' The speaker this time was Arthur Deak- in, the head of Britain's largest trade un ion, the Transport and General Workers' Union. At the annual conference of this un- ion, a resolution calling for the nationaliza- tion of land and the housing industry was being discussed. Deakin, speaking to the resolution, said that a disastrous defeat at the next election faces the Labor govern- ment if it makes any further proposals for nationalization of industry. He had this to say: . A "Before we step out further in the nation- alization of industriés we have got to justi- . fy our claim by making nationalization the success we know it can be." i This is an important statement from a man holding the position of Mr. Deakin. It is probably prompted by the fact that, so far, no outstanding success has been achiev- ed by government operation of services and industries that have been nationalized. The national transport - services, in spite of greatly increased charges, are operating at heavy losses. In the nationalized coal indus- | try, production has diminished to the point where heavy imports of coal from the Unit- ed States were necessary last spring. It would appear as if Labor leaders aré beginning to question the advisability of the | government undertaking any further schemes of nationalization. There certainly: seems to be, in Mr. Deakin's warning, a re- cognition of the fact that the British people have become rather sick of nationalization schemes which mean that the government has bitten off more than it can chew. In fact, some of its leaders, in a desire to escape the -defeat which, threatens at the polls in the next election, seem quite willing to depart from. the principles of Socialism on which Not a Luxury There was a great deal of truth in the statement which was made yesterday to the Windsor Rotary Club by Theodore J. Em- mert, executive vice-president of the Ford Motor Company of Canada. In his address, Mr. Emmert said that a taxation philosophy which treats the motor car as a luxury is 25 years behind the times. And he went on to show that the increased taxes and the restrictions on credit buying of automobiles, very definitely placed them in the luxury class. ; With the density of car ownership in Canada somewhere in the proportion of one for every seven of the population, it cannot be Said that automobiles today properly be- long in the luxury class. In a very high per- centage of cases, they have become a neces- sity for purposes of transportation to and from work, even where they are not actual- ly used for business purposes. The trend towards suburban living, which has caused hundreds of thousands of city workers to move their homes out into the adjacent rural areas, has very definitely made the auto- mobile a necessity for suburban dwellers. This trend has grown by leaps and bounds in the last five years. Yet taxing authorities in Ottawa have piled taxes on cars as if they were non-es- sential luxuries. Mr. Emmert pointed out that the direct tax on a standard model car in 1939 was $55, while today it is $525. For people of modest means, this places owner- ship of an automobile beyond the bounds of possibility, while the credit restrictions add further to the prohibitive cost of a car to many who in years past have been car owners. These are facts which it is well to point out to the government of Canada, which seems to have completely overlooked the im- portance of the automobile in thé economic life of Canada in its imposition af overbear- ing taxes and restrictions.

When things become difficult for the people at home such as the prices of food, rent, clothing, and other essentials, we are apt to ig- nore the basic strategic threat from outside--world conquest by Com- munism. The Communist strategy has long been clear to trained military minds and to astute international observ- ers such as Winston Churchill, George Marshall, the late Jan Christiaan Smuts. It should now be clear to the ordinary citizen of the Democracies. The Kremlin strategy is designed to keep Democratic nerves always as taut as a clothesline before a rain storm. It is to keep the Demo- cratic countries worried and un- certain, at a loss to decide whether to plan for peace or war, if possible suspicious of each other, and with- out consolidation of strength or pur- pose. It is to keep the Demo- cratic economies under such a ceaseless succession of pressures that they may crack and break down, with both trp will and abil- ity to fight an all-out war failing us at the final critical hour. Any sign of weakness, or Tre- bellion against the harsh demands of preparation, cam be the signal. It can be just then that the holo- caugt would fall upon us. This view is not war-mongering. It is simply an appeal to look the facts of Communist strategy in the face in the hope that by doing so we will be able to withstrand the long strain, How the Communist strategy has worked in keeping the Democratic countries in a state of unrest half at war, never at peace, is seen in a quick revigv of Communist moves: The Berlin airlift episode -- the sense of imminent threat in Europe ever since--the Chinese Conquest --Indo-China -- Koreg -- Iran-- are each a part of the strategy that piles stress on stress -- upon our speeded-up, straining economies, and especially upon our national morale. It is an almost forgotten term, but the morale of nations was never so important, or ever so grimly under test as it is today. We are in the throes of the most deadly cold- war in history, for it goes on and on, and we lack even a slogan or a battle-cry to help lift our morale. We need commonsense and an un- derstanding of Communist strategy in addition to ordinary patriotism. The dismaying factor is that there is no end in sight that can be trusted; Korea is too likely to lead on to the break-out of a new threat, and then to another and another crisis. Fortunately, there is only one thing to do, and no need to waver between two decisions. We dare not show weakness. But it is going to require longdrawn patience, and the ability of a group of nations to stand ready and keep their na- tional heads if the Communist de- sign for world domination is ulti- mately to be blocked. The crucial factor is not one of atomic weapons or rival war poten- tial; it is one of the quality of na- tional character. If the Demo- cratic countries have that in the right calibre they will not lose. ® 20 Years Ago Oshawa Orange Lodges captur- ed three awards at the July 12 celebration held in Cobourg.

Says Innoculation Unwise if Polio Near Toronto (CP)-- Ontario doctors have been advised to postpone in« oculating children against diph- theria, lockjaw and whooping cough during the infantile paralysis season if polio cases have occurred in their area. The advice was contained in a letter circulated by Dr. J. T. Phair, Ontario deputy-minister of health. "We have not been able to es- tablish any relationship between polio and our immunity injections' Dr. Phair said. "But in view of the reported cases in the United States and England, we thought it wise to discontinue such immunity injections during the polio season." The Choice Is Ours By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Communism finds a fertile field of activity where there are more people than there is employment and sustenance ror them. So the problem of the containment of com- munim is as much civil as «it is military. It begins with the mat- ter of adjusting population to avail- able resources. There is little hope of discounting the communist ideology while to unhappy, unem- ployed and homeless people it can be made to appear their one re- maining chance. If we are to re- tain our hold on Western Europe in the belief that the Eastern por- tion may one day come to more reasonable views, we mus} ourselves provide a measure of hope. ' An article in the New York Times points out that Western Germany with a critical over-population of 4,000,000, Italy with 3,000,000, Aus- tria with 500,000 and Holland with 100,000 are the crux of the prob- lem. While such conditions obtain, these countries present a fertile field for the expansion of the com- munist doctrine. Against this picture of too many people trying to live on too few economic resources there is an- other. In North and South Amer- ica, in Australia and, to a lesser extent, in France, there are re- sources that are crying out for the workers necessary for their de- velopment. What then is the answer? The Secretariat of the Council of Europe has estimated that an emigration rate of 600,000 annually over a period of five years | would ease the most pressing prob- lems of Europe. It would not in- crease our own for, instead of being dependent on Western aid, these thousands would become pro- ductive. Basing its thinking on these fig- ures, the International Regugee Organization, believes that the West could absorb such numbers with advantages to all. It even suggest- ed a possible allocation. Australia could, perhaps, absorb 200,000, France 40,000, Latin America 150,- 000, the United States 50,000 and Canada 100,000. There is little doubt that such ac- tion would materially improve the western position in Burope, but it would materially, improve our own. Canada has boundless resources. It is now as close as may be to full employment, leaving no overplus +| of workers for new enterprises that require manpower, We must spread the burden involved over more backs or find ourselves unable to meet these demands without ac- cepting a less generous way of life. The choice is ours and the time is now. GIRLS' CHOIR TOURING U.K. Canada's Elgar Junior Girls' Choir arrived at Southampton last week.

Cure for Jitters R. BARCLAY WARREN International News Service re- ports that cigarette consumption has climbed to an all-time high in the United States on a wave of war jitters and a pocketful of spending money. During the first year of the Korean war production zoomed to 410 billion, or 12 billion above the previous year. In January this year, when the world situation looked particularly bad, cigarette consumption climbed highest. For the first three months of this year, it was 17 per cent. higher than the same period of 1850. In 19850, United States citizens 15 or older, smoked 370 cigarettes for every 100 they smoked in 1925, The vicious circle is not always recognized. More jitters lead to more cigarettes; and unfortunately, for many, more cigarettes with their load of nicotine, lead to more Jitters. So it is, more jitters, more cigarettes; more cigarettes, more jitters; and round and round. St. Peter wrote, .'glor whatever over- comes a man that he is enslav- ed." 2 Peter 2:19 (R.S.V.) A few are not enslaved to cigarettes even when war jitters are prevalent. Many say they are not but, since actions speak louder than words, one wonders. Some confess their bondage and wish they had never developed the habit. Our Savior, Jesus Christ ex- claimed, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed," John 8:36. America's attempted method to combat the jitters betrays our inner weakness. We are morally and spiritually weak. It isn't more cigarettes 'we need. It is nation- wide repentance. We fear the fu- ture because our conscience al- ready condemns us. We know that our drunkenness, gambling-- legalized and otherwise--adulteries, fornications, blasphemies, desecra- tion of the Lord's day and covet- ousness, are an abomination in the sight of almighty God. We might well fear. We ought to turn from our sins and plead for God's mercy and forgiveness. That is the best remedy for the jitters, EVERYTHING STOPS During the Azan, Mohammedan call to prayer, passers in the street must stand still, all work must cease and even the sick must sit up in bed. : DAILY TIMES-CAZETTE EDITORIAL PAGE reamumes By James J.

All Righis Reserved To Get More == Must Give More (The Fmancial Post) Speaking recently in New York, William F. Hufsstader, vice-presi- dent of General Motors Corporation drew attention to a most signifi- cant clause in G.M.'s lavor contract with the unions. This was a recog- nition on the part of both parties of an annual improvement factor based on technological improve- ments. New and better tools would be welcomed by workers and man- agement. "The annual improvement factor provided herein recognizes that a continuing improvement in the standard of living of employees de- pends upon technological progress, better tools, methods, processes and equipment and a co-operative atti- tude on the part of all parties in such progress. It further recog- nizes the principle that to produce more with the same amount of hu- man effort is a sound economic and social objective." The key phrase is "with the same amount of human effort." This throws the burden on technological advances, and not on longer hours or any speed-up system. It is an New Grading Regulations For Potatoes Ontario-grown new potatoes are appearing on the markets of the Province these days and the Fruit Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture states several en- quiries have been received regard- ing the grading and packaging of this product. An official of the Branch points out that the minimum size of all new potatoes sold under the regula- tions is 1% inches and this ap- plies regardless of whether the po- tatoes are of No. 1 of No. 2 grade. No. 1 potatoes, however, must be free of scab, sunburn, blight and such defects. No. 2 grade, howev- er, allows some tolerance of scab and mechanical injury, as well as making a slight allowance for sun- burn and blight. . When it comes to packages and their marking, it is pointed out that on a closed pack, there must be markings which give the grower's name and address, the grade, the net weight of potatoes in the pack- age and the words "Table Pota- toes." However, when they are in an open package, such as the six- quart basket, only the grower's name and address need be placed on the paekage. The potatoes in the package, however, must meet the minimum requirements for Grade 2 potatoes. Commenting on these regulations, the Fruit Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture points out these regulations are a protec- tion for the growers as well as the consumers. Potatoes which are well-graded and packed are a good advarusement for the Ontario pro- duct. / acknowledgement on the part of both parties te the contract, that in order to get more, people have to give more. That, to make an ane nual improvement factor feasible, technological progress must be en- couraged. t The constant challenge facing industry is to find "ways to do things better and to produce more things from the same number of working hours." 'To fight inflation, to produce the vital armaments, and to look after our civilian needs, more must be produced. And we will have to do it minus the men and women who are entering the armed forces, La- bor having fought hard for its rights will not willingly accept long- er hours, but we can be efficiency and technological progress produce more, with the same amount of hu- man effort. oul BC MARITIMES Return limit 21 days Stopovers Permitted From OSHAWA, Ont, Te Annapolis Royal (via Digby) $55.29 (via Truro or Halifax). sss v4 .63.8% Charlottetown. . vi seceesess 56.65 Digby (via Saint John). seseese 53.90 (via Truro or Halifax) ..+..65.0% Fredericton. .eesesesceses 47.60 GEIPE.. see esesnsreserss3TIS Haltfax...co000000000000000:60.38 Kentville (vis Digby) «+ +++5..58.65 (via Truro or Halifax) 60.35 MONCtON. sever ssssnssepe 49.00 Pictou (via Truro)ssessssses+59.80 Riviere du Loup..cesicess.+34.60 Saint John... ceva scees49.00 Sydney...oeescecsscseneess70.10 St. Andrews. .oeoeeeiseses 46.40 St. Stephen. ...ooieceeeees 45.85 Yarmouth (via Digby) +ss43:.57.90 (via Truro)sssesss+65.05 St. John's, Nfid....ce0000.112.55 Corner Brook, Nfid.;......88.25 Grand Falls, Nfld... 0e2496.05 Low fares between points, Ask any railway ticket agens, CANADIAN CANADIAN [=7.Xel | of [ol V: df], Fu hat announcing!
