EAI RRRR---- -- he Oshavoa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 1961 Thursday, August 10, Controlled Revolution Sought In Latin States Finance ministers of member na- tions of the Organizaton of American States have been meeting in Uru- guay, principally to hear details of President Kennedy's proposals for U.S. aid in the planning of a better life for the people of Latin America. The ministers are reported to have given a good reception to Mr. Ken- nedy's "alliance of progress" policy, which commits the United States to help OAS members if they will adopt sound policies to help themselves. They had better be both receptive to the U.S. offer and determined on the sound policies. Time is running out for supporters of Latin America. The problems in Latin America are appalling. Illiteracy of people 15 years and above ranges from 13.67 in Ar- gentina to 89.57 in Haiti. Per capita income ranges from $100 in seven of the twenty nations to $300-$499 in four. Nowhere are populations growing faster. In Asia as a whole, according to United Nations figures, population increase is 1.57 a vear. In Africa it is around 27%. In latin America it is more than 2.57;. Better health programs will raise the growth rate even high- er. Latin America produces less than it did before World War II. food Just the status quo in to maintain current living standards, which are deplorably low, would re- quire an annual investment of 10 to 129% of national incomes on the aver- age. To raise those standards 1% a year would require 13 to 15% in- vestment of national incomes. Cur- rent investments are well below 107, so that living standards are falling. Needed are education, industrializa- tion, modernization of agriculture. To gel these things, there must be polit-, ical and social change. Wealth is con- trolled by a small percentage of big land and property owners. Most agri- cultural workers are little better than slaves. Tax systems favor the weal= thy. Land reform is critically need- ed. Most of the 20 nations get foreign exchange from the export of one or basic commodities bananas, sugar, tin, copper, etc. They are at the mercy of drastic world price vari- ations. They need stabilization of ex- ports and prices. Tariff and quota barriers between them also need to he broken down. Unless progress is made. and quick- lv, revolution is a threat everywhere. Fidel has - his followers in every country. So do the Communists. The Cuban revolution and its threat have underline to many Latin American leaders the need for action to help their people. two Castro served to More Seaway Traffic The St. will doubt of heart has been responsible for changes in the pattern of inland shipping, par- ticularly the gradual elimination of the former canal-size boats and the replacement by Lig freighters of the 700-foot class. One advantage of the change is that larger tonnages are carried in fewer ships and in communities like Welland and Port Colborne it reduces a little the num- er of times that bridges have to be raised for the passage of ships, ac- cording to the Welland Tribune. Lawrence Seaway no the amount the The seaway steadily increase waterborne shipments to of the continent. A new idea is being presented to Canadian exporters to Chicago or even to points as far south as New Orleans and southern Texas. It is now that especially porters of raw materials might take a look at shipping via the Great Lakes and Mississippi inland waters, suggested ex- than one and a half million ("anadian goods move into or through Chicago every More tons of waterborne vear, and' harbor and channel im- provements now under construction in the Chicago area, at an estimated cast of $208 million, make this even more attractive, says N. L. Currie, vice-consul and assistant trade com- missioner at Detroit, in the current issue of Foreign Trade magazine. Mr, Currie says that goods not destined for the Chicago area can be transshipped to modern barges car- aving 1800 tons each. Several of these can be put together in a "tow," the number generally being between four and eight. Over half a dozen major barging companies with modern docks, ware- houses, barges, tow boats and other equipment offer their services at competitive rates.

A big market means big production and that, in turn, allows firms to in- vest in expensive machinery, under- write elaborate sales and production organizations, spend more on re- search and development, break down complex operations into simple ones that typify mass production and rea- lize the cost benefits of bulk buying. economic The © Oshawa dimes ON, Publisher and General Manager KINSEY, Editor Times combining The Oshawa Times ond Whitby Gazette and ed 3), ww published daily ry holidays excepted) an Daily Newspoper Publishers onadian Press, Audit Bureau ef Ontaris Provincial Dailies Asso. ciation.

To achieve a market large enough to make the "economies of scale" pos- sible in Europe, France, West Germ= any, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg plan by the early 1970's to eliminate all quotas and tar- iffe on each other's industrial goods. They are ahead of their schedule of tariff reduction. The six nations have already be- gun to cash in on the "economies of scale". Trade inside their boundaries 19 percent between 1958 and 1960. Gross national product was up 13 rose percent, Even with increases, though, the six countries, with a population of 168 million, have a national product of only $180 billion. The United States, foremost example of the mass market concept, has a national pro- duct of more than $500 billion with a population of 18 million. The six nations have only started to realize the potentialities, the Mil- waukee Journal points out. If nego- tiations to bring Britain in are suc- cessful, the market will expand fo 220 million persons.

'framework,' because last week unquestionably laid the foundation of a new politi- cal edifice, replacing the inad- equate although sentimentally alluring sod hut which was the prairie-made CCF. Whether this edifice will prove enduringly at- tractive to a significant number of former Liberal voters, as hoped, only time can tell. But it has an undoubted stability exceeding that of the sod hut, thanks to the steel frame pro- vided by the active participation of the Canadian Labor Congress and the consequent moral sua- sion--although not legal compul sion--over the dues and votes of 1.250.000 union members DEDICATED SUPPORTERS It was a welcome revelation that delegates to a political con vention can one and all be both anxious and able to think for himself, and able to express his own opinion. Such interest in public affairs has been un- malched at recent conventions here of the two older parties, whose supporters--even at elec tions--show a high proportion of sheep-like dependence and un thinking lethargy. Bul--and this is a serious reservation--{wo qualities were outstandingly re markable during this assembly of more than 2.000 enthusiastic QUEEN'S PARK builders of Canada's fourth ex- isting democratic party The first quality, undesirable in a nationwide political move- ment, vet from time to time gravely evident, was a lack of statesmanlike judgment and re- sponsibility. The second was a deplorable absence of patriotic national sentiment. Both these harmful were evidenced on casions. For instance, during discussions upon our interna- tional treaty obligations, and in the heated interlude which led up fo the banning of the words "nation" and '"'national" every- where in the constitution of the New Democratic party. Such irresponsibility towards our (realty commitments, al- ready approved by Parliament, can only make us appear un- reliable and feckless as a na- tion; whilst the retrograde step fostering national disunity is even more regrettable than the temporary revelation in the 1957 general election that the Liberal party was predomi- nantly a French Canadian, rather than a national, organi- zation WIDER UNITY URGENT Never before in history has a considerable agglomeration of the countries of the world more surely had to recognize the dic- tum: "united we stand, divided we fall."
