Poge 6 Saturday, June 25, 1960 Union Nationale Could Break Up After Defeat The obvious comment on the result of the Quebec election is that it marks the end of an era, but this is over- simplification. The era ended with the death of Maurice Duplessis. The sava- gery of the campaign in Quebec and the violence of election day demons- trated how little real change there has been in Quebec politics. The Union Nationale was the creation and the creature of Mr. Duplessis. It was his machine and he ran it as a personal possession. For several months before his death, his grasp was weak and his control erratic; the machine began to run down. Then came Paul Sauve, the one man in the party who had not feared Duplessis, and the one man -- or so it seems now -- capable of giving the machine such a thorough overhaul that it would virtually become a new model. Sauve had the job well in hand when he died, but his time in office had been too short to permit him to do more than make a brave start. With the passing of Sauve, there was a struggle for leadership, with no out- standing contenders. The gentlemanly Barrette was able to do little to con- solidate his own place in the driver's British Auto A British car manufacturer is building a plant in South Wales for the express purpose of producing vehicles for the North American market. Why was the plant not built in Canada? An explana- tion was given recently by a visiting British business man, George K. Ridley, in an address at Vancouver. From a Canadian standpoint, it is open to argu- ment, but we present it as an illustra- tion of British thinking. Mr. Ridley says this: "I am often asked if there is any likehood, for instance, of British motor manufacturers, such as the British Motor Corporation, establishing a plant in British Columbia and, at the present moment, there are two answers to this question. "The first and foremost is that the British motor industry can manufacture their cars in the United Kingdom and distribute them on the North American continent at a price much below that which would obtain in manufactured on this continent, for the simple reason that proportionately your wage rates and other costs are so much higher than in the United Kingdom. For instance, when we send members of our staff from the United Kingdom to live in Canada we have to multiply their Competition To some economic planners, profit is without honor. Nevertheless that de- vice of decadent capitalism is being tried out in that stronghold of the proletariat, Russia. The USSR's internal trade system has been remarkable for its inefficiency in both the production and distribution of consumer goods. In an attempt at reform Premier Khrushchev personally is backing what he calls "material inte- restedness," that is, financial reward. "This capital," says Max Frankel of the New York Times, writing from Moscow, "is beginning to see and feel the results of a rapidly developing trend toward freer economic competition among state enterprises and organiza- he Oshawa Times "7.

Liberal leader Lesage led a savage attack on the Union Nationale's posie tions, and he did it in the best tradition of Quebec politics -- with a barrage of charges and a drumfire of innuendo. But the assault fortifications that were in disrepair -- and his weapons were often those used so devastatingly by Duplessis himself. Indeed, there were times during the campaign when one wondered who was Liberal and who Union Nationale; when Lesage sounded like a strong echo of Duplessis. What long-range effect, if any, the result will have on federal politics re- mains to be seen, but there can be no doubt that the Lesage showing will be a great encouragement to the federal Liberals, who are in need of some sort of encouragement. The Conservatives can console themselves with the results in Nova Scotia, but they cannot look forward to cosy relations with Quebec, as they could have if the Union Nation ale had been returned. One question mark is the future of the party Duplessis created. Mr. Bar- rette may not be strong enough to assure its survival. Vi 1 lewpoint salaries by 22 before converting to dollars. This gives you some idea of the wage differentiation, "Secondly, your lack of population means that there is no basic domestic demand large enough to justify the establishment of a plant. It might well be that, with the expansion of sales of British cars on the North American con- tineént, assembly and maintenance plants might be set up, but here again I cane not see this being done if it is going to involve the British motor industry in increased costs. "Their prime task is to keep down the price of their vehicles and these conditions apply to any other industry, but I feel sure that, as and when con- ditions justify the construction of plants in Canada, British industries will be ready to make a move and be particu- larly happy to employ Canadian labor, but they would be foolish to jeopardize present success by involving themselves in increased costs. "The high cost of living coupled with high wage rates enjoyed here produce costs which may restrict your sales markets to other countries with similar financial structure unless you are capable of producing and using machines which will increase production in pro- portion to such costs." In Soviet tions. Several developments in this di- rection attest to the growing influence of some of the most forward-looking Soviet economists and administrators, who insist that the best way to improve production, distribution and the quality of goods and services is to increase the financial stake of those directly involved. "One potentially far-reaching experi ment now is being conducted in the Soviet internal trade system. Some re- tail stores have been given the right and the power henceforth to demand from factories the kind of goods their customers want. They will no longer be obliged to accept everything dumped on their shelves. . . "The experiment in relations between retail stores, wholesalers and suppliers... undoubtedly was inspired by widespread dissatisfaction with the quality of staple consumer goods, such as shoes and fabrics, even where quantitative needs were beginning to be met. Worse than that, many unwanted goods are rotting in warehouses. Many students of the Soviet system, including Russians, have attributed this to a lack of incentive and economic pressure on prodicers, distributors and sellers." By any other name, profit still is profit. Having given the Socialist system a good try, Russia seems to have re- cognized that capitalism's system of competitive enterprise and reward to efficient management is the better way. It would be a good bet that if Khrush- chev is able to obtain a fair trial for his experiment in the wholesale and retail field, it will eventually apply through the whole structure of Soviet industry. From the point of view of the Western nations it may be hoped that the at- tempt is not torpedoed by the die-hards, TRYING TO GET A FOOT IN THE DOOR U.K. OPINION Premier Under Pressure On Attitude To Europe By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Prime Minister Macmillan is under heavy pres- sure from Britain's friends on continental] Europe, and from within his own cabinet, to make a drastic re-assessment of the country's future policy towards the countries of Western Europe. There is more than a trade and economic crisis looming up as time goes on and the deadlock between the Common Market Six and the Outer Seven drags on. The important aspect of the situ- ation is the political one, and it is with regard to this that the British government is said to be dragging its feet. Frankly, the British government does not want to become Involved in a political union with European countries, and it is because of this that critical views are being taken of its attitude. Dr. Joseph Luns, the: Dutch Foreign Minister, and one of Britain's closest friends on the continent, has been in London tryig to act as mediator in the tangled situation. At the end of his visit, Dr. Luns said: NO COMPLETE UNITY "The British government's ideas have not yet crystallized, and there is no complete unity among the Common Market Six --though we have done useful work to avoid a worsening of the situation. If the drifting should become mere obvious, the solv- ing of the long-term problem would become more difficult. It is not only an economic prob- lem. The important aspect is political." It is evident that nothing short of a full scale commitment, polit ically, eSfiomically and emotion- ally, by Britain, will convince the core of the Common Market France and West Germany-- that Britain really means busi- ness in Europe. The prime minister, so far, has been reluctant to make a dramatic gesture which would mean reversing the thinking of two generations. Many of his own party are beginning to think that Mr. Macmillan at least should make a deiinite statement on which course thé country. is going to take. Tory opposition to closer links with Europe has greatly diminished, All the signs, however, point to the fact that the decision, what- ever it might be, is going to cause deep cleavages of opinion in politics, trade and industry. TWO BY-ELECTIONS The government is faced with two by-elections in the not too dis- tant future. The death of Lord Newton has brought about the elevation of his son, Peter Legh, MP for Petersfield, Hampshire, to the House of Lords, which means a contest for his seat. Mr. Legh is government whip, a post he has held since 1953. The Petersfield seat, however, should not cause the government much concern. In the election of last October, Mr. Legh had a major- ity of 15,409, with both Labor and Liberal candidates in the field. His vote was 23,687, while the Labor candidate had 8278 votes and the Liberal 6912. The other by-election may not be until later this year, and it will be brought on when Alred Robens takes over the post of chairman of the National Coal Board. It is possible that he may become its deputy chairman in October, and then take over the chairmanship in the spring of 1961. His 'seat is regarded as a safe Labor constituency, as his majority last October was just over 25,000. The result of that by- election, however, will provide some indication of the extent to which the Labor party's election prospects have been injured by the civil war which has broken out within the ranks of the party. WORRYING OVER WORDS Four words in a speech made recently by Marshal Malinovsky of Russia are causing the back- room experts at the foreign of- fice a good deal of concern. In that speech, Malinovsky prom- ised rocket attacks on any base from which an intruder flew over the territory of Russia -- "and any socialist country". The foreign office experts are puzzled over what interpretation to place on the words "and any Socialist country". It would ob- viously include Russia's satellites in Europe, and the Communist countries of Asia -- China, North Korea and Viet-Minh, Three is some deep thinking, however, over what might hap- pen if Cuba, for instance, should declare itself Socialist and enter into some kind of agreement with Russia, or even China. Suppose that, as has happened before, an American plane flew over Cuba. Would Russia then let fly with rockets at the American airfield from which the plane took off? The same parallel might be drawn in the case of any other country which changed to a *'So- cialist" government, So the crystal ball into which the fore ffice expe 'e gazing 100ks a trifle dar} ie moment, UNION OF TEACHERS A new move has been made to unite all of Britain's school teachers in one union. The move has been made by the executive of the National Union of Teach ers. It has decided to initiate talks with the Association of Ase sistant Mistresses in Secondary Schools, the Association of Assie tant Masters in Secondary Schools, the Incorporated Assos ciation of Headmasters and the Incorporated Associaiton of Head Mistresses towards this end. These four groups are minof bodies compared with the Nations al Union, and they do not have the same place in negotiations with educational authorities as the Union does. As a basis for the talks, the National Union of Teachers has drafted a constitution for an alle embracing professional associa tion, and the other bodies have been asked to study and consider this. PHENOMENAL GROWTH The Sunday Times, one of the newspapers of the Thomson Come pany of the United Kingdom, is making new records for rapid growth of circulation, When it was taken over by Roy H. Thome son last fall, along with the other papers of the Kemsley Group, its circulation was officially listed as 832,000. For the first week of June of this year, the circulation was 959,700. It is expected htat in the not too distant future, it will climb to over the million mark. QUEEN'S PARK CCF Leader Remarks On 'Integrity' Plan By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Where lies "in- tegrity?" CCF Leader Don MacDonald has been giving another. of his ambidextrous interpretations of it. This time it was in comment on a proposal by Keith Davey, president of the Toronto and Yorks Liberal Association. The proposal was that an all- party group should be formed which would inquire into the provlem of integrity in public e. PART TRUTHS Mr. MacDonald issued a state- ment on this. He didn't discuss the proposal as such. But he did protest the right of a Liberal tc advance it. And in doing this he made at least two of his usual part-truth statements. "1 one of these he said Mr. Davey had '"'suggested" that only the Liberals are interested in cleaning up politics. In the second, referring to the natural gas "'scandal" he said the "Liberals spent half their time defending their own provin- cial leader's involvement in it, and the other half ignoring the whole issue because -of its politi- cal embarrassment." This, of course, is not even re- motely close to an exact state- ment. The Liberals debated the gas question. The only criticism--or credit--you can give them is that they did not show' the apparent thirst for tainted blood that Mr. MacDonald did. OTHER INTEGRITY To some of us integrity of statement is just as important as integrity of dollars. It is not to the CCF leader. And this is probably a loss not only to himself and his party but to the public at large. If he recognized integrity of statement he would perforce have to give matters more thought which would mellow his judgments. And then he might do some really effective work, not only in uncovering his "scandals" but in building public faith in himself and his party. As it is now it is doubtful it he has much of this beyond his immediate field of CCF support- ers. The public has a strong sense of justice. And constant com. plainers really are never popular in any society or community-- not even with other constant complainers.

Wires get crossed, and trip up their users, in this trend towards "Every head of government his own foreign minister." Paul Martin, our oft-times act- ing foreign minister under the Liberal government, and states- man - extraordinary among the Middle Powers and back-bench- ers at the United Nations, smar(ly highlighted the weakness of this system in our House of Com- mons. Three days after the Wash- ington summitry by President this was pinned on Canada in some circles. It was hoped that trade would be thrashed out in detail and at length at that con- ference, with especial reference to the new European trade groups and Britain's ambivalent position as European trader and Common. wealth partner, WE MISSED THE BUS Canada, as the leading trader of the non-European Common- wealth areas, was expected to pick up the ball and run with it, by urging close study of the possi- bility of Britain leading the Com- monwealth into one united free trade area, with possible excep Eisenhower and Prime Minister Diefenbaker, he forced our for- eign minister, Howard Green, into the humiliating public jon tions or saf rds for certain Commonwealth interests, It was hoped also that, in a self-educat- ing mood, the conference would that he had not yet read the com- munique issued by those two "acting foreign ministers' after Jueie so-important personal meet- g. WHAT DOES IT ACHIEVE? As far as Canadians are con- cerned, we make only two de- demands upon international di- plomacy: first, world peace; sec- ond, full employment in Canada. The episode of Allan Dulles' U.2 spy-plane left us nearer to war than at any time since the age of brother John Foster Dulles "'brinkmanship." The fum- bling of the U.2 explanation by acting Foreign Minister Eisen- hower eft us much less confident of our neighbour, It is doubtful whether Canada can do much to restrain the giants; but neverthe- less, following the dictum that if they talk they don't fight--so vividly disproved by Pearl Har- bor--our prime minister has launched a series of invitations to conferences. "Call another summit meeting, and hold it in Quebec City," he urged the big powers. "Call a meeting of the heads of NATO governments, and hold this West- ern summit in Canada," he urged Ike. These bids came, right on top of our PM's proposal that the recent Commonwealth conference should be followed by a repeat to be held shortly in Canada. The "pros" question whether Canada is not overplaying her hand in words and underplaying it in contributions. For example, the May meeting in London of Commonwealth prime ministers proved a great disappointment, and blame for study the Messina trade treaty to "the harmonization of social pole icy" to eliminate unfair competis tion through low wages--and thus lay for ever this ghost which scares Canada, But the conference placed une due emphasis on apartheid--withe out discussing racial discrimina- tion within Canada--and the thin ice of world trade was regrettably skated lightly over. Such unprepared summitry, highlighting the failures of ama- teur diplomacy, rightly draws the crilicism of the professional dip- lomats. For example, Prime Minister Diefenbaker told Parliament that he had urged Ike that "new lines of endeavor for NATO should be sketched." But old hands, such as NATO-progenitor Mike Pearson, who have been familiar with the original lines of endeavor of NATO for longer than some of the Conservative Johnny - come-late- lies, urge rather that we imple" ment those original lines, rather than waste time resketching them in the same form, GREAT HARBOR Montreal harbor, 1,000 miles from the Atiantic, is closer to Liverpoo' thau is New York.
