dhe Oshawa Tes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Thursday, April 21, 1960 Trade Deal With Russ No Major Achievement The trade agreement Trade Minister Churchill has arranged with the Soviet Union is scarcely a resounding triumph. For the next three years, Russia will buy $25 million worth of goods from Canada each year if Canada buys $12.5 million from Russia. Last year we bought a little better than $2 million from the USSR. and sold $12.7 mil- lion worth. In 1958 we sold more and bought less, and the 1957 record was much like that of 1959. To benefit from the new agreement, then, we must sharply increase our buying from Russia, and that means that Russia must do what is necessary to sell more goods in Canada. The government cannot order Cana- dians to buy. It can influence purchase patterns by means of tariffs, subsidies and so on, but these do not enter the matter of trade with Russia. What the Russians must do is put on the Canadian markets goods that Canadians want, at the right price and of the right quality. If the verdict of the Canadian consumer is negative, the Russian products will remain unsold -- and presumably the purchases by Russia will be cut accord- ingly. The best that can be said for the deal is that it helps clear the way for Rebellion In The current trouble in South Korea comes as an ironic postscript to West- ern involvement with that country. It also illustrates the unhappy faculty the U.S. state department has of backing disreputable regimes for no other reason than the strength of their opposition to Communism. When Korea was divided after World War II, trouble was inevitable. Partition is never a solution, only a breeder of strife. Trouble came when, because of the indecision of the West, the weakness of the South Korean government, and the Far Eastern meddling of Stalin, North Korea decided that an invasion of the South could be successful. The Korean war, or "police action", was the result. The United States decided sud- denly and vehemently, and other West- ern nations reluctantly, that Communist aggression had to be stopped and that South Korea was of strategic impor- tance for the containment of Commu- nism in the Far East. After the war, with frequent transfu- sions of US. dollars, Syngman Rhee developed new strength. He made him- self a virtual dictator, head of a police state. He pulled the strings of a cor- rupt, puppet government. He used every- increased trade between the Soviet Union and Canada, and may put Can- ada more firmly into a potentially huge market, more for consumer goods than for raw materials. The Soviet Union is well supplied with natural resources, but its people are desperately short of amenities, from stylish clothes to stoves. The mention of raw materials must bring to mind Mr. Churchill's sorry uranium "joke". He first gave interview- ers the impression that Canada 'would be willing to sell uranium to Russia, and then, after some shocked response in the United States, said his remarks had been made jokingly and Canada would not think of such a thing. Well, why not sell uranium to the Russians, if they want to buy it? The Russians do not lack uranium. There are rich deposits in several parts of the Communist empire -- enough to enable the Soviet Union to build all the bombs it wants. If the Russians want more, and are willing to agree to use it for peaceful purposes, why not sell it to them? There are thousands of Canadian miners out of work today because the U.S. decided to end its contracts with Canadian producers. If Russian purchases can put those miners back on the job, by all means let us make a deal. Korea thing from bribery to murder to fix elections. And somehow he managed to convince U.S. military and state de- partmen officials that He was indis- pensable -- the one strong man who could maintain South Korea as a bastion against Chinese Communism. In the Far East, Rhee became a detested symbol of corruption and repression -- and even recently of senile brutality. Slowly, as more and more American correspon- dents reported what was going on, U.S. official feeling cooled towards him, until he was recognized as an embarrass- ment rather than an asset. Now thgre is a mass revolt the Rhee regime, sparked by the outrageous rig- ging of the recent general election. Rhee is trying to maintain his position by the use of force, and the country is under martial law. The "bastion" has crumbled. The ex- cesses of Rhee have brought the country close to the point where anti-Western forces could win a bloodless victory. That point has not quite been reached, but it will take some deft and delicate statesmanship, particularly on the part of the United States, to keep South Korea independent while it strives to burst the bonds tied about it by the discredited Rhee. Business Man's Turn It's the business man's turn to lead the way to new heights in capital out- lays this year. That, says the current commercial published by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, is the most significant point in this year's letter capital investment program. The Department of Trade and Com- merce forecasts 1960 capital investment at $8,770 million, the highest on record. Both business and social capital expen- ditures are expected to rise this year, but in contrast with the past year, when it adopted a cautious attitude, business is resuming its stimulating role, while She Oshawa Times 7.

The increased spending by business has one unfavorable aspect, in the bank's view, in that some of the new investment will be in imported machin- ery, which last year was a significant factor in our adverse trade balance. Manufacturers, especially papers, steel and chemicals, will spend the most money, but will do so for different reasons. Pulp and paper companies hope to keep pace with a predicted doubling in world demand by 1975; steel is trying to broaden its range of products and meet foreign competition; and the chemicals are just trying to keep abreast of new developments. The Energy Board's decision permit- ting export of natural gas will mean heavy expenditures for pipelines, gath- ering systems, plants and new reserves. With the exception of the automotive trades, all classes of wholesales and re- tail distributors are planning new or ex- panded facilities. Schools will be after capital, and hospitals are planning a 25 per cent increase in outlays. Total government capital investment is expected to be up only 1.8 per cent, with provincial and municipal govern- ments replacing the federal government in the lineup for funds. New housing is expected to be $63 million less than last year. The letter notes that the volume of new capital assets which will result from all the borrowing this year will be slightly above last year's in terms of constant dollars, "since upward pressure on prices is expected to moderate", "THAT OLD FAMILIAR COMMUNIST picK-POCKET "TeCHNIQUE "AND I'LL HOLD YOUR COAT" GALLUP POLL Faith Revealed In After-Life CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Most Canadians believe that there is a life after death, but they are hard put to describe how they imagine it. Across the coun- try almost seven in ten say they expect a continuation of some kind, with considerably more women than men looking for it. More than a third of this great majority, however, cannot find any words in which to tell of their expectations. Those who do find such words, in the main, use vague generalizations. Interviewers for the Gallup Poll asked men and women in a na- Description Of Life After Death Believe what the Bible tells us; Bible; Christ told us this; God's promise tional cross-section of the nation as a whole two questions.

BUNDESEN, M.D. IF YOU serve anybody more alcoholic drinks than they can stand at your next cocktail party or neighborly get-together in your home, you had better be prepared to let them spend the night there. All of you, I'm sure, are fa- miliar with the tried and true adages: "Don't drink and drive, for alcohol and gasoline just don't mix, and make that last one for the road a cup of coffee." DO IT ANYWAY You know very well you should not drink and then drive. But, let's face it, many people do it anyway. Since we have to protect the nitwits as well as those who use their heads when partying, let me pass along a formula on the drinking and driving problem. It was worked out by the Alcohol- ism Reserach Foundation, and they should know. WAITING PERIOD The average 140-pound person should wait at least two hours before driving after he has con- sumed two alcoholic drinks. Now two drinks, as a rule, means two 1%-ounce shots of whisky, gin or rum, or two 3- ounce drinks of port or sherry, or two 12-ounce bottles of beer. All have about the same alcoholic content For each additiona! drink after the second one you should allow another two hours for sobering up. If, for example, you take three drinks, you should wait four hours before driving. After four drinks, wait six hours. This means an eight-hour wait after five drinks. If your visitors have had this many dr'nks, either send them home in a cab or put them up for the night. These suggested safe waiting periods are based on a compli- cated formula which considers the average time required: to re- duce blood alcohol levels to .03 per cent, ONLY A LITTLE As little as -03 per cent of al- eohol in the blood of some per- sons impairs their driving ability, although somewhat more than this is needed to affect most drivers If you don't weigh as much as 140 pounds, you should wait one hour longer than the periods cited. If you are considerably heavier because you have a larger frame -- not just because you're fat -- you probably can deduct one hour. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. P. R. D.: What are the symptoms of a fallen kidney? If no operation is iidicated, what can one do to live com- fortably with this condition? Answer: A "fallen kidney" may produce no symptoms what- soever. In other cases, a dull, dragging pain in the back and repeated acute attacks of pain due to kinking of the tube lead- ing from the kidney infection may be present. Usually a number of studies, including x-rays, are necessary to make the diagnosis. Operation is rarely necessary for this' con- dition. Gaining weight may help to hold the kidney in place by de- posits of fat in the area. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM much mental instability as they prevent, as so many hobbyists drive others nuts talking about their hobbies, "'Unconsciously or not, a man seeks to marry a woman who has less intelligence than he," asserts a psychologist. This helps to explain bachelors For the average person the cost of living hasn't varied in centuries. It has always cost him the limit of his.income and credit, When a woman raises Hell, she leaves very little, if any, of it un- elevated. 2 REPORT FROM U.K. Traffic Jam Seen At London Airport By M. MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON London Airport will be faced with a chaotic con- dition when the rush of summer traffic starts in about two months time, Foreign as well as British airlines have warned the Minis- ter of Aviation, Duncan Sandys, that a greal boom in air travel lies just ahead, and they com- plain bitterly that nothing has been done to meet the - crisis which they are sure will develop. The first warning of this traffic increase was given by a govern- ment committee three years ago, but it appears also to have ignored. The chief difficulty is that the planners of the £30 million air- port are said to have very seri- ously underestimated the vast amount of traffic it will be called upon to handle. Three vital areas are expected to break down un- der the pressure of peak-hour traffic during the summer sea- son, LOADS DOUBLED First there is the *'short-haul" central terminal at the airport, The £1,000,000 building, opened by the Queen five years ago, is already out of date. Its passen- ger channels were de-igned to deal with average plane loads of 25 people. This year, the loads will be more than double that number with the increase in car- rying power of even convention- al airliners. The greatest problem will arise at the north terminal, made up of a straggling collection of prefabricated wooden buildings BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Allan Williams, Division St., who graduated in physical chem- istry from Queen's University, won a post-graduate scholarship from the National Research Council. Plans for building an Oshawa Branch Legion Hall were an- nounced at the annual banquet held for the celebration of vic. tory at Vimy Ridge. The ban- quet was held in Rotary Hall. A. E. O'Neill, principal of OCVI, was delegated by the Board of Education to visit the famous General Motors School at Flint, Mich. Mrs, R. Norris, president of O-hawa's ladies' softball league, wag elected 3rd vice-president of the Ontario Ladies' Softball As- sociation for the 1930 season. Regimental Band under the direction of Bandmaster Demp- sey, gave a fine concert in the Regent Theatre. Assisting with the program were, Mrs. A. C. Cameron, soprano; Mrs. Kinder, violinist, and Mrs. Carnell, pian- ist. J. Lewis McLean of Port Per- ry, was awarded the Gordon M, Clark scholarship on his gradua- tion from Knox College where he was a theological student OTTAWA REPORT " within the party should Members In Ottawa # Woefully Underpaid By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Ontario's Premier Leslie Frost has proposed in- creases in the indemnity and ex- penses paid to members of the Ontario legislature, and in the salaries paid to Ministers in his cabinet, These realistic changes recog- nize the substantial sacrifice made by every man and woman who enters public life in On- tario's provincial field, but they certainly do not pay more than the job is worth. They do how- ever offer comparisons which yet once again raise the thought that all our parliamentarians at Ot- tawa are disgracefully underpaid. It might be argued that from time to time some person ap- pears in our Parliament, or even in our cabinet, who is not worth more than the present scale of remuneration. But that is beside the point. Any job is apt to at- tract applicants who assess them- selves as being worth the rate of- fered, What cannot be denied is that the business of governing Canada deserves and demands the best available abilities; to at- tract those into public life may not call for salaries matching the top scale in industry, but it cer- tainly does require remuneration which permits the maintenance of a becoming standard of liv- ing and which does not inflict hardship on the wives and de- pendent children of our politic- ians. WHAT ONTARIO OFFERS The new Frost scale will in. crease the sessional indemnity of all MPPs from 3,600 to 5,000. It wil! also raise the expense al- lowance from $1,800 to $2,000. The average session of the On- tario legislature runs between eight and ten weeks. A member of the federal house receives an indemnity of $8,000 and an ex- pense allowance of $2,000 for a session which lasts approxi- mately three times as long. This column has in the past suggested that MPs should be paid 10,000 a year plus 5000 in expenses, a suggestion which is if anything modest when compared to the new Ontario scale. Ministers in the Ontario gov- ernment are to have their salary for their departmental duties raised from $10,000 a year to $12,000. They will also draw the indemnity and expense allowance as ML. As, which of course is reasonable since they have to perform all the duties as mem- bers, as well as the additional duties as ministers. DIRECTORS OF CANADA LTD. Ministers in the federal cab- inet, who are in effect the board of directors of the largest busi- ness in Canada, are paid $15,000 a year for their departmental du- ties. In addition they receive an allowance of 2,000 a year in place of an official car and driver provided for their use. They, like the Ontario MLAs, also receive the usual indemnity and expense allowance of a fed- eral MP, This scale of remuneration for a whole-time director is of course entirely disproportionate to the § 4 rewards attainable in industry, In addition, the applicant for such a job in Government must face the risk of his party's de- feat at the polls, in which case hi= job ends, at least for several years. The classic comparison so often discussed in Ottawa concerns the chief executive of the Canadian National Railways. He is reputed to be paid $75,000 a year; yet the annual budget of his company is only half that of the department of national health and welfare, whose head, Hon. J. Waldo Mon- teith, is paid $15,000 a year. This contrast makes it very obvious why the CNR boss, the able Donald Gordon, did not present himself as a candidate offering his services to the nation at the General Election in 1958. The moral to be drawn is glaringly obvious. which are hopelessly outmoded and inadequate. This shambles of huts, which still handles the long-haul international traffic, was overwhelmed last year when the 112-seat jet planes were put into operation. This year, there will be five times as many jet plane operation and they will in- clude several 146-seat airliners. PARKING PROBLEMS Another area which will cause trouble is the parking apron space for aircraft. Space on these aprons is now so short that air- craft will have to stand up to a mile away from the passenger gates. More-buses and long trains of baggage trucks will be needed to take people and their luggage to and from them. The charge that the Central Terminal is outdated has come as the biggest shock of all, This lavish building has been claimed to be one of the finest in the world, although, from my own observation, it does not compare with the magnificent new airport terminals which I have seen in Brussels and Frankfurt, Plans do exist for a large-scale extension, but they had been put away on the shelf for five years. They may now be quickly put into operation. The airport is failing now be- cause the layout of its channels was designed for air travel in 1949. I have often been puzzled by the fact that passengers have lohg distances to walk and have to make about 20 turns to right and left to get out to their planes. Last summer, because of this, many flights were delayed and many passengers left behind at peak hours. This year, British European Airways alone expect a 33 per cent increase in inter- national passengers, and the in- creases predicted by foreign operators average 25 per cent. QUEEN'S PARK Independent Thought Shows In Committee By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One of the refresh- ing devel s of this i was a spirit of independence in the government benches. This was not pronounced on the main floor of the House. But down in the committee rooms there was quite a definite show of free thought among the PC private members. As one instance, when the labor committee went into the question of charges against E. E. Spar- row, chairman of the workmens compensation board, opposition members demanded that Plerre Berton, Toronto newspaper man who had started the inquiry, should be called before the com- mittee. Most of the government back benchers were automatically against the opposition request. But a few members backed the opposition. In a House which traditionally now for years has been firmly two - sided this was a pleasing sign. GRITS PLEASING Some division on the govern- ment benches, of course, is wel- come, particularly after the years of lop-sided majorities we have seen. There are arguments, of course, in favor of *"'government solidar- ity" and for the case that conflict be handled behind the closed doors of caucus. But along with this there is the fact that disagreement is human. And when you go along for years, as we have here, without much argument from the opposition side and none from the govern. ment benches the public can lose interest. It must have gained some in- terest this year from the fact that not only was there some real ar- gument from the opposition side, particularly from the Liberals, but also from the government benches themselves. BOTH ENCOURAGING The opposition side in this House is far from perfect yet. The CCF can be criticized for extremism and the Liberals for lack of uniformity in policies within its ranks. The Grits also can be accused of clumsiness on the part of some of its new members. But along with this, however, both sides have shown much that has been encouraging. The Liberals have not settled down in their caucus as yet. The CCF, on the eve of form- ing a new party, is not too sure just where it is. But both have shown plenty of fight and the will for plenty more. J] GHILDREN DO Ever since Grandmother's doy pam ents have relied on 'Mother ves' to give relief from worms.
