§ + y Ls hy! E | Trade Problems are Most LJ ¢ THE pany "TIMPS-GAZETTE, Thursday, August 20, 1008 ditorials Whe Dally TimesGasetle (Oshaws, Whitby), Limbled. by Times-G 07 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario Important for Canadians With the St. Laurent government once again established firmly in power, the people of Canada will look to it to lose no time in tackling some of the problems which were revealed in the course of the election campaign. For inatance, in spite of the disclaimers of governmeht spokes- men, there is a job which needs to be done in curbing waste and extravagance in the Department of National Defence. There is a further job to be done in plan- ning so as to bring closer the adoption of a national health insurance scheme for Canada. Important' as these are, they take second place to the urgent necessity of taking action to restore Canada's declin- ing export trade. The record for this year has not been gratifying. There has been a steady building up of an unfavorable balance In trade, due to declines in ex- ports. Unless something can be done to reverse'this trend, Canada might well end this year with a very large deficit balance in the nation's trade figures, and that is not a good thing for the general economy of the country. We would say that the biggest task which confronts the government and par- lament at the present time is that of righting the large adverse trade balance. This cannot be done by sitting down and leaving thing to chance. It means study and hard work. It means making a com- plete survey of the export picture, and finding new and larger markets for the surplus products of this country. It means more than that. It means that Canada has to take stock of the price structure in world markets. It is hopeless to expect exports to increase if the prices of Canadian products are so far out' of line with world prices that Canada's goods are not wanted. When that happens, export trade is bound to decline, and part of the government study should be directed towards ascertaining the extent to which this is responsible for export decrease. This is not a job that will wait. It. must be tackled at once and tackled courageously if we are to recover our favorable trading position in the world's markets. * 1 Jolliffe Resigns CCF Leadership The resignation of E. B. Jolliffe as leader of the CCF party in Ontario ean- not be regarded as much of a surprise. 'The fact that it was first tendered on July 2, but was being held in.abeyance until the fall meeting of the party exe- cutive, indicates that this is no step taken op an impulse. He has been Gon- sidering it for some time, and has now asked that his resignation be made ef- fective immediately. : Since he became leader of the CCF party in Ontario 11 years ago, Mr. Jolliffe has given unsparingly of his time and his undoubtedly fine talents on behalf of the cause in which he believed. That the support given to the party-in Ontario has shown a drastic decline in recent years cannot in any sense be eharged against him. Rather has it been due to the fact that there were all too few in the party ranks willing to devote them- selves to it as faithfully and assiduously as he has done. This was recognized at the annual convention last April when, in spite of a motion to defer election of a party leader, he was unanimously elected by acclamation. In his letter of resignation, Mr. Jolliffe said the requirements of his professional work made it impossible for him to con- tinue to give-the "strenuous and single- minded effort" that the leadership de- mands. He might, with a certain degree of justice, changed that phrase and used the term '"single-handed," instead of "single-minded." He had all too few people around him who were willing to make the sacrifices which he did for the good of his party. Mr. Jolliff"s resignation leaves the CCF with several aspirants for the lead- ership, but we doubt if any of those mentioned have the same degree of qualification for it, by training, knowledge and experience that he possessed. His place will be difficult to MI adequately. He does deserve, however, the thanks of his own party, and of the people of On- tario as a whole, for the substantial con- tribution he made to the political life of the province during his 11 years in the party leadership. And This is the True Service In a recent, soul-searching editorial The Guelph Mercury reviewed the motives which govern men in the giving of gervice to others. Monetary consideration, personal gain, love of power and the itch of privilege were among the less commendable mo- tives brought to light by The Mercury editor, who expressed. the fervent hope that most of us are governed.by higher motives. : "If we thoroughly analyzed our own motives in such service," notes The Mercury, "we should find there was often in it a good deal more of love of power and the superior place for ourselves, or. for the secular or religious environment with which we were connected, than of love of our fellow. "And some great hearts, and many humble hearts have shown us the way to the richer service which has no bounds, Editorial Notes Communist candidates protested that Canada -was dominated by the United States.

Donaldson, His a Sam, OTTAWA REPORT ; Dust Storms Hit Doucett's Desert By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Corerspondent for The Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- Pioneers are stag- gering into Ottawa, dust-caked and thirsty. They are travellers from the east who have ventured across Doucett's Desert. This great track- less stretch of sand is not marked on any map, but it has recently been discovered astride the Trans- Canada Highway, half-way be- tween our biggest city, Montreal, 'and our national capital. Many motorists are talking in no neutral manner about this sore spot on our Dream Highway; so this' column hastened to make an to the edge of Montreal Island. Then it is a better than average road to the Ontario boundary. From there to Ottawa it has long been as rough and meandering as a moose track, literally a Trail of '98 preserved. as a quaint relic to attract tourists. Ontario's minister of highways, Hon. George Doucett, must believe in our prime minister's exhorta- tion that we, should build a better Canada for our grandchildren. Streamlining and resurfacing of this most important approach to our capital has been going on for five years. As -a director of the Good Roads Association, Mr. Dou- cett has probably learned what | a good Trans-Canada high- on-the-spot r ai , From two or three miles away, one can see a huge cloud hanging int the' sky, making the lush Ottawa Valley look like the Nevada Desert after an atom bomb test. As one gets closer, one .notices that the cloud drifts slowly down wind, be- ing refueled all the time from the Great Ontario Desert. | LIGHTS SEEN DIMLY Inside the cloud, sand swirls densely, coating outside and inside of cars, choking throats and smart- ing eyes, and reducing visibility a few feet. The top of a building can occasionlly be seen, etched in black against the lesser dimness overhead. Ghostly glows twinkle through it, and slowly brighten into two eyes shining from a vague black shape: Then both drivers brake into a prolonged slighter. Vehicles so hard to stop on the gripless, shifting sands are as hard to start; wheels spin to dig gopher holes. Prairie visitors say they have seen nothing like this since the great dust storms of the thirties; guestless tourist lodge operators say they want to see nothing like it again. Cars travelling across this track- less sand move in compelling ruts up to 12 inches deep, with curves sharp endugh to wrench the steer- ing wheel out of the driver's hand. Farmlands to leeward have taken on a new hue and texture. See those final Jersey cattle3x Them's not Jerseys, them's dusty Holsteins says the farmer. - $500,000,000 HIGHWAY The Montreal-Ottawa section of the Trans-Canada highway follows Route 17. It is a fine, boulevarded, four-lane turnpike from Montreal way. This year someone has op. ted a recipe reading like a cook- ery 'book: First find a good sand Juans sift into a bowl. REAT ONTARIO DESERT Well, the sand quarry has been found, and the sand sifted gener- ously into a dust bowl, 10 miles long, 40 feet wide and two feet deep. With no detour arranged, cars, trucks and buses are plowing through it. As this artificial desert leads up to the border of French Canada, I ventured across into darkest Que- bee, where I quickly learned what magnetizes American tourists. It's that attractive pidgin English, so quaint with its unconscious humor, like the notice I saw hanging in one shop window: Barber -- ex- pert repairs. How different life in French Can- ada must be. As I recrossed the border into Free Ontario, I saw hanging outside a shop the glad news: First opportunity to buy margarine.- The Quebecers have the harsh choice of guns or butter, without the happy, compromise of margarine being available when taxes for guns get too heavy. It must be different when one cannot spend one's money on anything one likes. Or almost anything: A French shopkeeper separated from that Ontario margarine pedlar only by the invisible provincial boundary, indulges his Gallic wit by hanging outside his store the notce: First opportunity to buy wine. Plenty of refugees from Toronto the Good were taking advantage of this of- fer, probably because they had dis- covered that wine has the com- forting property of dissolving sand caked in the throat. QUEEN'S PARK Labor Trends Too Much For Jolliffe By DON O'HEARN Special Corerspondent for The Times-Gazette TORONTO -- Resignation of E.B. Jolliffe as provincial CCF leader came as a great surprise here. There have been rumors off and on since 1945 that Mr. Jolliffe would either get out or be re- placed, but nothing has ever come of them. And knowing the CCF leader and his ability, and his ardent interest in politics, we did not think anything would. HARD ROW From what we know of the sit- uation there would appear to be two reasons behind the resigna- n. One is the explanation Mr. Jol liffe has given publicly: The strong demand on his time. It has often been a cause of wonder how the leader has man- aged to carry out his duties as faithfully as he has and still raise his family and live up to his fin- ancial obligations. His law practice must have suf- fered considerably and it must have been a strong trial to try to keep the farm at Rockwood, where he makes his home, and boots and shoes on the children. The second reason, we imagine, has had an even stronger influ- ence. This is- the trend in the CCF to come under trade union domina- tion and its failure to broaden out «into the national party which its founders envisioned. TO0 MUCH Mr. Jolliffe has been drawn into the labor field through his law practice. But politically he has So 4 always been, to us at least, bigger than this. He was always close to the in. tellectual wing of the party, which has drawn more and more apart from the labor element in recent years. And his interests covered all the field of government, where- as the labor element has been primarily concerned only with mat- ters that affected it directly. This has caused continual trouble in the party, and we imagine that combined with the personal sac- rifice he has been making, it fin- ally got to be too much for Mr. Jolliffe. PEOPLE SUFFER N The next leader, we imagine, will be a straight labor man. Pos- sibly Charles Millard. Whoever it is, we believe we can say quite safely now that not only the CCF but the Jeople of rom the the province will lose choice. : . Mr. Jolliffe came into the pro- vincial House in 1943 as a some- what brash but determined and sincere leader. Through the years he grew to be an outstanding parliamentarian, and we believe government lead- ers would be the first to admit that the House has suffered from his absence in those years since when he hasn't been returned. Men of his ability, experience, and outlook aren't easy to come by. There are elements in the CCF who have never been satis- fied with his leadership. He has not been aggressive enough. Just as there are elements in labor who have believed in breaking the law. We can be wrong but we don't believe there is anyone else inthe party of his calibre. West Welcomes News Of Iranian Overthrow By JOHN HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP)--The state department kept close watch on tunbulent Iran today, keenly aware that great issues are at stake in the struggle for power between Premier Mossadegh and . Royalist supparters. : : Little concrete information was available here at an early hour other than the Tehran radio broad- cast which said followers of the shah had taken over the govern- ment and that Mossadegh had been replaced by Gen. Fazollah Zahedi. For the time being the broadcast account was. unconfirmed by any other information. Authorities here were somewhat surprised by the Tehran broad- cast. Since Royalists had failed to seize the government from Mossa- degh four days ago when the Shah fled the country, it had been as- sumed that their ability to act effectively was probably crippled for the time. United States ambassador Loy Henderson saw Mossadegh Tua- day and gained the impression that Mossadegh was firmly in the saddle despite the great ferment among the population. If Britain, the United States and other Western countries had a choice, they undoubtedly would pre- fer to see the Shah's people rather than Mossadegh In power. Offici~ ally and diplomatically, however, their attitude so far has been one of hands-off neutrality. O#sicials here and in London have felt for a long time that Mossadegh, an ailing old man and extreme nationalist, was impos- sible to do business with in a rational manner. ' Wayne's Wife Has $2,082 Grocery Bill LOS ANGELES (AP)--A judge has given the estranged wife of actor Johy.

GM Fire Makes Market NEW YORK (AP)---A buyers' market in steel is just around the corner, Iron Age, national metal- working weekly, says today. "With two-fifths of the market declining, and the balance blowing hot and cold, steel demand has to come down from its pentup pin- nacle," the trade magazine says. Steel producers have been ex- pecting this easier market since May, Iron Age says. The shift was | gaining momentum the last two | weeks, before the fire in General Motors' transmission plant gave it an extra push. "The pendulum will swing faster ! E 1 now," the weekly predicts, emphas- izing, however, that a fourth quar- ter decline already was expected. ° Despite the addition of 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 tons of new capacity, steel mills operations during the gummmer have ranged near capac- y. 'Automotive and warehouse Chis tomers together account for nearly two fifths of all steel shipments," {Iron Age notes. "Both are headed |for a decline. .
