hye Oshavon Ses Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, June 20, 1961 Morale Of Executives Could Be Strained Now An important piece of the Coyne- Fleming puzzle will not drop into place until this evening, when the fi- nance minister reveals his budget to Parliament. Mr. Fleming says that the government has lost confidence in Mr. Coyne, because the policies ad- vocated by the Bank of Canada's governor are restrictive while the government's policies are expansion- ist. The Bank of Canada deals only with monetary policy, of course, while the federal government is responsible for both fiscal and monetary policies. In a monetary way, there has been better than a five per cent expansion of the money supply since this time last year. But one cannot form a solid opinion about the government's "expansionist" ideas until the con-- tents of the budget are known. But no matter what the budget re- veals, and no matter in what way Mr. Coyne may have erred, the method and timing of Mr. Fleming's attack on the governor of the Bank of Canada must be considered questionable. It comes on the heels of the vicious at- Doctors And Nearly nine out of 10 U.S. physic- fans, a survey shows, say it's their "usual practice" to conceal the facts from a patient who has an advanced cancer. "People don't really want to know," they assert. Most Canadian doctors take the same view. This is an outrageous view, the Fi- nancial Post argues. The doctors grossly underestimate their patients and overestimate their own import- ance in other people's lives. The ost continues: A doctor is a highgrade mechanic, skilled in diagnosing and possibly cur- ing disease; and that's the limit of his function. He's not a junior deity. A sick person who hires him wants to know, indeed calls him for the express purpose of finding out, what's wrong and what can be done, if anything, to promote recovery. tack on CNR President Donald Gord- on by a number of Conservative back benchers--an attack during which cabinet ministers made no effort to halt the vituperation or defend the record of a man who is not permitted to exercise the authority of a com- pany president by the restrictions placed on him by the politicians. Senior civil servants and executives of crown agencies can scarcely de- rive much reassurance from the treat- ment being meted out to Mr. Coyne and Mr. Gordon. Indeed, it would be a pretty good bet at the moment that morale is lower than it has been for a long, long time. Certainly these men are not beyond criticism, and when they have tough keen minds and do not pussyfoot with words, they naturally invite criticism. But the treatment of both Mr. Coyne and Mr. Gordon has gone far beyond the point of criticism. It comes closer to the pillory. The break between Mr. Fleming and Mr. Coyne was inevitable, but it did not need to come in this fashion. Patients The doctor who conceals this infor- mation is assuming a wholly un- warranted divine role and treating his patients like half-witted children. A man with cancer has the right to dispose of his remaining years or months as he wishes. He may want to take a trip round the world. He may only want to quit work and med- itate. He may wish to take up cham- pagne or music or poetry. Whatever he has in mind, the choice should be his. It's an outrage on his personal dignity and humanity to deprive him of it by lying assurances from the medical mechanics he calls in. The doctors should get off their high horses, throw their haloes in the ashcan, and start dealing with the customers as adults with minds and wishes that deserve respect. What kind of people do they think we are anyway? Quotas Irk Japanese "Almost apoplectic" is the report of Tokyo's unofficial reaction to the new quotas on imports of Japanese goods into Canada. The official re- action is somewhat milder, says a news story out of Ottawa, and Japa- nese embassy officials there have stated that Japan's decision to buy trial shipments of hard wheat from the U.S. is "not necessarily" an act of retaliation against Canada. However, the embassy spokesman conceded there probably were "some hard feel- ings in some commercial circles" over the quota issue, and went on to say that the basis of criticism is that last year Japan's imports from Canada were worth $68 million more than Canada's imports from Japan. That seems a pretty phony excuse for letting the blood pressure get out of hand. Every country strives for an over-all balance in foreign trade but trade would be at a standstill if there had to be a dollar-for-dollar, country - my - country balance. Japan Fhe Oshavon Times 1.

But in the same year Norway spent here $66 million more than we spent there; Australia, $63 million more; West Germany, $39 million more; the United Kingdom, $325 million more. On the other hand, last year Arabia spent here $59 million less than we spent there; Venezuela, $160 million less; and the United States, $759 milion less. In point of fact, as Finance Min- ister Fleming pointed out in a recent Toronto speech, Japan has had pretty good trade treatment here. From 1954 to 1960, Canadian imports from Japan rose from $19 million to $110 million, and in the same" years Can- adian sales to Japan rose from $96 million to $178 million. This dollar comparison takes no account of the point that Japan buys here mainly raw materials and foodstuffs with a low labor content and sells here main- ly fully manufactured goods with a higher labor content. And as U.S. President Kennedy has noted, Japan's more reasonable basis of complaint is with many of the countries of West- ern Europe which , though particip- ating members of the GATT group, exclude low - cost Asian textiles through tariffs and other gimmicks supposedly outlawed by GATT. Finance Minister Fleming noted also that Canada's per capita imports of low-cost clothing are nearly double those of any other country. That fact is linked with the fact that in primary textiles alone over the past decade more than 80 Canadian plants have closed and employment has declined from 97,000 to 74,000.

By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Political strate- gists here see a very close con- nection, with overtones vitally affecting our future prosperity, between three seemingly un- related happenings. The Liberal majority in the Senate is opposing a govern- ment measure which would give our revenue minister wide pow- ers to vary tariffs; Britain's Prime Minister Macmillan will shortly, as predicted exclusively in this column, send senior min. isters to Canada and to other Commonwealth countries, to ex- plain why Britain will shortly join the free-trade group of Western European nations; and there is increasing speculation that the lack of an annual bud. get normally presented to Pare liament in March, is due to in decision by the prime minister as to whether or not to call a general election this year. The tie-up between these three events is regarded as astute Liberal strategy. The Conservatives, as even they themselves agreed, looked like certain losers in a general election six months ago. They are now creeping up slowly but steadily in popular favor, al- though still running behind the Liberals. It is natural that the Liberals would like to have an election as soon as possible, but the timing does not rest with them. They are therefore trying to provoke an election now, by using the weapon of their over- powering majority in the Sen- ate. If frustration at Senate ob- struction to its bill makes the government decide upon an elec- tion, it would be tagged with using the Senate as an election issue. The Liberals would dis- regard this, and hammer away at the theme that Conservative trade policies are keeping Can- ada out of the communal pros- perity of the European free trade area, and thus sentencing us to ever growing unemploy- ment and steadily rising living costs. There are effective arguments on both sides of the shenanigans in the Senate. The government points to the tortured previous procedure, under which it took at least three years to achieve a change in the tariff; it would make sense to give the respon- sible minister powers to move more quickly to protect any threatened Canadian industry. The Opposition can claim that Parliament, not an individual minister, should change our laws, and that this argument was vehemently and indeed ef- fectively advanced by the Con- servatives, when in opposition, to terminate the wide wartime emergency powers demanded in eacetime by the late C. D. owe. But the greatest single issue facing Canada today is world trade; and since we are propor tionately the greatest interna. tional trader in the world, it affects us more closely than any other country. The issue, as ad- vanced by the Liberals, is sim. ply and persuasively that we should closely examine the im- plications of the huge free trade area being created in Europe; that we should explore whether we could join it on terms ac- ceptable to us; and that we should consider what the alter. native will mean for us in the future. We cannot indefinitely heighten our tariff barriers to protect our present costly mane ufacturing industries, say the Liberals. This would lead to such a high cost of living that all consumers would rebel. The Tory answer, advanced by Trade Minister George Hees, is that the Liberals' proposal of an Atlantic free trade area would open our market to cheaper U.S. goods, and result in Ca- nadian plants being closed down { overnight. This is an over-sim- plification, since tariffs would be cut over 10 years, not in- : stantaneously. But the manoe- { uvring now going on here sug- i gests that the Liberals seek an election soon, and on an issue i which they feel, perhaps right- i ly, has both significance and | appeal. Lo Pe RS Ae BY-GONE DAYS REPORT FROM UK. 20 YEARS AGO A. A. HKatchison, manager of the Oshawa Branch of the Royal Bank, was appointed manager of a branch in Toronto, assum- ing his duties in July. As a result of a resolution made by the city council earlier in the year, 156 city-owned lots were disposed of for buildin, purposes. . Choirs of all city and district churches were massed, under the direction of Reginald G. Geen, for the "Victory Torch" open-air service of dedication in Alexandra Park. The On- tario Regiment and Salvation Army Bands furnished the in- strumental music for the occas- ion. Members of the local Guides and Brownies held a novel gard- en party, demonstrating 2 typ- ical day at camp, on the spac- ious lawn of Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Rundle, Harmony. Startled by a low-flying air- plane, a horse belonging to Osh- awa Dairy Ltd. staged a run- away ending in the complete demolition of the delivery wag- on. A total of 287 cases of acute communicable diseases were re- ported here during the period May 1 to 31 inclusive. King Street Public School held its annual open house and field day. The principal, Miss Holmes and the president of the Home and School Association, Mrs. N. Ashley, received the many guests. Two Oshawa bicycle riders dominated the CWA race meet held at the Exhibition Park track, Toronto. Lance Pugh captured the two-mile open and Borden Slack earned the one- mile novice. Heavy war shipments from General Motors were delayed for several hours when a loaded 6000 gallon gasoline tank car was derailed and overturned in the yards of the Oshawa Rail- way Co. creating a serious fire and explosion menace. Urge Development Of Luton Airport By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LUTON, BEDS. -- The muni- cipal authorities of the town of Luton, 30 miles north of the heart of London, and the home of Vauxhall Motors, British sub- sidiary of the General Motors Corporation, want their airport to become a major passenger air terminal. In this they have the backing of several British airline companies. These have already applied to the Air Trans- port Licensing Board for per- mission to run air passenger services to and from Luton. If these applications are ap- proved, as the Luton authorities hope they will, Luton Airport is likely to become the most im- portant passenger terminus in the immediate area north of London, serving a population of five million people. QUICKER THAN GATWICK Manager of the Luton Airport, H. T. Rushden, hopes to make it a quicker alternative to Lon- don's Gatwick Airport. Passen- ger flights to other British air- ports, and to European ter- minals like Paris, Brussels and Rotterdam are almost certain. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM If man is to travel to Mars, he had better hurry and com- plete means for doing so, while the earth is still intact from which to take off. One who takes a wholly objec- tive view of the world these days might well conclude that the worst thing that has hap- pened to it is people. "A person can kill himself by eating rich and highly seasoned foods," says a physician. Yes, and there are few more delight- ful ways to commit suicide. Improvements which have re- cently been made to the airport add support to the scheme of the airlines wishing to use i for regular services. These in. clude a mile-long concrete run- way, new hangars, a passenger terminal building and up-to-date lighting equipment. It is now proposed to lengthen this run- way by 1168 feet and to build another mile-long runway to cross it. These extensions would enable larger larger planes like the Comet 4B and 4C to land at Luton, as an alternative to Gatwick, FULLY BACKED 'The applications of the British airline companies are fully back- ed by Mr. Rushton. He says: "This would definitely be a great step forward for Luton airport. I have had many letters and telephone calls from people who think the scheme is sound. Firms at Oxford, Aylesbury, High Wycombe have told me that they would use the airport. They find the journey to Gatwick Airport unsatisfactory, and at present consider it as quick to travel by train as to fly from London by air. The prospect of Luton as a quicker alternative appeals to them. "One of the most important assets any successful airport must possess is rapid means of access to the main centres of population, business and mar- kets by surface transport. The distance from Luton Airport to the centre of London is 30 miles, and since the motorway and several trunk roads in the area have been completed, the journey can be quickly covered by car or coach." The only objection to the scheme comes from Sir Harold Wernher and his tenant father, John Murchie, who object to the runway extensions now being planned, because part of Sir Harold's farm which Mr. Murchie operates would be needed for them.
