She Oshawa Gines | Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Required Development Of Atlantic Community Canada's Finance Minister Fleming has been sitting this week as chairman of the new Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, holding its first meeting in Paris. It will not provide sensational headlines, but it may well prove to be as significant an event as any of the early sixties. The OECD has grown out of the smaller Organiza- tion for European Economic Co-opera- tion, to include Canada and the United States. OEEC had considerable, al- though largely unpublicized, success in helping achieve Europe's postwar eco- nomic recovery. OECD may do the same for the Atlantic grouping. Mr. Fleming is the OECD's first chairman. And this weekend he will be having private talks with British and French government representatives. One of the topics to be discussed may well be the European Common Market and the British approach to the Common Market, which has caused so much nail- chewing at Ottawa. If Canada can in any way help the move from a European trade bloc, through OECD to an Atlantic Payment By Under a competitive system, farm products tend to be produced where and how they can be grown most effi- ciently. Because of this, and other reasons, the federal government sensibly continues to resist suggestions that de- ficiency payments to farmers should be made on a regional instead of a national basis. Deficiency payments are administered through the Agricultural: Stabilization Act which was passed early in' 1958. Purpose of the act is to try to eliminate the ups and downs in prices of some farm commodities and to assure the farmer of a more stable income, The act guarantees a floor price for any product the government decides is in need of price support. The formula starts with a base price which is the average market price over the last 10 years. The level at which the govern- ment decides to support the price is usually 80 per cent of this base price. When deficiency payments are made in order to support this price, only na- tional figures are used, with the result that producers in all parts of the country trade community, Mr. Fleming and colleagues will be sure of their place in history. Many Europeans are receptive to the Atlantic community idea. Ludwig Er- hard the West German minister of economic affairs -- and probably the next chancellor of West Germany -- says the ultimate goal of the Common Market must be an Atlantic community. In an article written for a German publi- cation, Erhard says that recent political developments have made it abundantly clear that Europe cannot exist by itself, and only if the western nations come together can they safeguard their com- mon institutions, The Atlantic community, with Can- ada and the United States as major members in the western hemisphere, would be made up of nations that produce more than half of the world's goods, carry on two-thirds of the world's trade and contribute 95 per cent of all aid to developing countries. It is a magnificent vision -- and one that must be made a reality. Regions get the same amount of deficiency pay- ment. From time to time, producers and their organizations have urged that the payments be calculated and made on a regional basis. But agriculture depart- ment officials point out that farmers are well aware that products bring higher prices in some sections of the country than others. Wheat farmers, for example, receive less for their grain the farther they live from the lakehead elevators. Purpose of the act is not to bring about an equalization of return in all market areas, but simply to see that the price does not fall below a certain level. Because products may sell at higher prices in one section of the country than another, this does not necessarily mean that those farmers are making the most profit. High and low prices are usually accompanied by high and low costs of production so that net returns tend to even out. And, of course, the very act of giving different sized defi- ciency payments to different parts of the country would very likely lead to dissension and ill-feeling among the farmers themselves. Children And Reading In a recent issue of the Oval, published by Canadian Industries Limited, is a picture of a young lad surrounded by towering piles of books. Coupled with | it is a descriptive cutline stating that "some 200 books will be required read- ing through school and college." Just how many more books and other forms of literature a young person will read during his school days for the sheer pleasure of reading, and how many he will continue to read for information or pleasure after he leaves school depends, in large measure, on how early he is introduced to the world of books and how he is encouraged to continue read- ing in the face of all the other media that vie continuously for his time and his attention.

They reach us freshly. They enter our minds at a time when our minds are as open as the prairies were to the first settlers. They can bring the whole world to us, and if the world they bring is a true one they are almost more valuable than school." Unfortunately in recent years, not only have other attractions been de- manding the attention of both old and young people; there has been in addi- tion an increasing number of books and other printed matter made available -- some of it not only cheap to buy, but cheap in content. And since, as Mr. Mac- Lennan points out, what one reads be- comes part of oneself, particularly when one is young, there is a responsibility for those in libraries, in schools, in the home and elsewhere, to help young people find and use books that will be meaningful and which will encouage the continu- ation of selective reading in and out of school and into adulthood. Library officials are among those who realize that the task of developing a discriminating reading public, particu- larly among young people, will not be easy. Publishers already have made an effort to make books more attractive to the eye by dressing them up in bright colors. and using pictures generously. It remains for others to make good books attractive to the mind. Bible Thought This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. -- I. John 5:4. The Gospel of Christ will prevail e@geinst all its enemies, because it is God's program T hore, You DION T MAKE ANY PROMISES OTTAWA REPORT Drew Gets Blame For Trade Tiff By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "British patience with the Diefenbaker - Fleming administration," Britons read in their Sunday press, 'is wear- ing thin." This reference to "'the rift be- tween Britain and the Canadian government"' was obviously no exaggeration, since it was printed in the influential Sun- day Times of London, England, whose publisher is the Cana- dian-born Rey Thomson. Who fired the first shot in the worsening cold war between Canada and Britain, over Brit- ain's proposed entry into the European Common Market? En- quiries reveal that it could be nothing more than unauthorized sniping by Canada's high com- missioner in Britain, Hon. George Drew. There is indeed considerable coolness towards Canada in British government circles, where George Drew is described as 'the most unpopular man in Whitehall", as this column re- ported recently. But a calm ap- praisa] suggests that the unpop- ular voice of Canada House, London, is not the voice' of "'the Diefenbaker - Fleming adminis- tration" on Parliament Hill, Ot- tawa. Mr. Drew has proved himself a misleading prophet, according to reports circulating here. He informed Ottawa that he did not expect Britain to move towards the Common Market because, in his expectation, enough Conser- vative MPs would revolt in Parliament against Prime Min- ister Macmillan to defeat his proposal to.that effect. But in the event, the revolt of right- wing Tories was insignificant, and Mr. Macmillan's proposal was endorsed by the bulk of his own party and by the Labor party opposition. Then, too, Mr. Drew advised Ottawa that the annual conven- tion of the Conservative narty would iurn thumbs down on Mr. Macmillan's move, and kill it; this proved an equally bad prognostication. Diplomatic 'circles are now buzzing with the episode when Mr. Drew belatedly refused a two-week-old invitation to a con-- fidential conference with Brit- ish ministers, using the excuse of "pressure of work." This re- fusal was described unofficially by a Canada House spokesman, according to reports here, as a deliberate snub to the British government for the reason that they had not previously made full information available to the other Commonwealth countries. The spokesman is said to have been Mr. Drew's press attache who, as a former experienced journalist, would know exactly how this statement would be treated by the British and Cana- dian press. It was, of course, "blown up" into headlines. One can imagine how the wires between Ottawa and Lon- don sizzled after that. Mr. Drew put out a special Sunday after- noon denia! that he had in- tended to "snub" the British government. But he did not en- large upon the nature of the work, whose pressure kept him away from the most important Canadian task of that day in London. There appears to be a back- ground of misinformation be- hind this storm in a teapot; no doubt there is a lot of misun- derstanding too. But tea was the 'starting point of history's most famous and decisive row between North America and England, and it would be disas- trous if the present situation were permitted to become sim- ilarly aggravated. Finance Minister Donald Fleming is now visiting Eur- ope, io preside over meetings in his role as chairman of the 20-nation Organization for Eco- nomic Co-operation and Devel- opment. He is likelf to utilise that opportunity to develop a lit- tle co-operation, and to correct the misunderstandings now rampant in Whitehall about Par- liament Hill's attitude. And at the same time he will no doubt graciously accept Britain's: en- deavours to bring Canada and other Commonwealth countries into the Common Market nego- tiations as observers, to satisfy themselves that Britain is nei- ther intending nor achieving any betrayal of Commonwealth interests.

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Result Of By-Election Shock To Labor Party By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The first by-elec- tion for a parliamentary seat in Britain since the "abor party achieved some measure of unity has resulted in a heavy blow for the party. The election was in the Moss Side constituency of Manchester. The Labor leaders, while not very helpful of win- ning the seat in what has been a safe Conservative division, were optimistic that they would register substautial gains in the voting and come closer to the winner than in the general elec- tion of 1959, when, in a straight two-party fight, the Tories had a majority of over 8,700. Labor's hopes were rudely shattered when a Liberal candi- date landed in second place, putting the Laborite third in a four-candidate contest. The Con- servative majority was reduced by over 5,600, but the total poll was down by 12,000, so that the goverr.ment's showing was ex- cellent. The last time a Liberal candidate ran in Moss Side, in 1950, he got so few votes that he lost his deposit. The fact that the Liberal secured 6,447 votes in this by-election, against 9,533 for the winning Conservative and 5,980 for the Labor nom- inee is being hailed as an indica- tion that unity within the Labor ranks has not been sufficient to win more votes for it at the polls. The fourth candidate, a Mos- leyite, received only 1,212 votes and lost his deposit. While a single by-election can- not always be taken as a guide to what the country is thinking, Moss Side, has nevertheless, shocked Labor 'o its roots. NEGOTIATIONS ON It may take as long as a year for the negotiations on Britain's application to join the European Common Market to reach a final decision. This was the view ex- pressed by Henri Spaak, of Bel- gium at the opening of the talks, which were featured by the list of $64 questions presented to the British spokesman, Edward Heath by Professo1 Walter Hall- stein, chairman of the Common Market Commiggion. The questions dealt very largely with the points which were raised by Mr. Heath at the earlier meeting in Paris rela- tive to British ties with the Commonwealth and the Euro- pean Free Trade Association, and the position of British agri- culture. NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH The viewpoint of Professor Hallstein was that Mr. Heath, on that occasion, was not suf- ficiently specific in spelling out just what Britain wanted in the way of special concessions. He want. to know just how far Britain wants to go in continu- ing to import goods from Com- monwealth countries, either by association with the Common Market or by the granting of tariff-free quotas. : This is one question on which QUEEN'S PARK Could Be Wasted In Liquor Post By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Political life does have its rewards. Allan Grossman, Progressive Conservative member for Tor- onto St. Andrew and minister without portfoiio, is in clover. Mr Grossican was one of the staunch supporters of Hon. John Robarts for premier. And the St Andrew. member now has a sumptuous office, a car and chauffeur and a salary that at las: report was $12,000 a year (plus his $8,000 a year as a member) Mr. Grossman is '"'chief com- missioner" of the Liquor Con- trol Board of Ontario. NO BILLIARDS Just wha: the chief commis- sioner and the two other com- missioners of the LCBO do to ruitfully pass their time has never been made quite clear. Selling booze represents a lot of meney in Ontario, but it cer- tainly requires little in the way of effort or brains. A very competent staff under Comotrolier Brigadier J. G. Spragge makes certain that the t get out to the stores and nat the warehouse is kept full. And beyond that what. is there? The Control Board has rg to de with licensing this is the exclusive per- ogative of the Liquor Licence Board, under Judge W. T. Robb. So far as we know there is not a ard table in the exec- tive suite of the liquor. build- down on the waterfront. d neither is there a bowling movie theater or other y for amusement. make passing time the hardest part of that particular job SELF-MADE MAN This will be particularly dif- ficult for Mr Grossman. For the rew chief commis- sioner is a hustler, a go-go- go'er scrambied up from the side-walks to make himself a big success in life as an insur- ance man. And it is probably right to say that to date there has been hardly a wasted moment in his life. He also has shown one of the more independent minds in the Legislature He was noteworthy as the one man who really spoke out against floridation--and on the proper grounds that it was an affront to civil rights. It could wel! be that wasted in th: liquor job. DICE PROFITABLE Other supperters of Mr. Rob- arts found their throw of the dice profitable. Irwin Haskett of Ottawa South, for instance, won the nod to represcnt his area over Donald Morrew from Ottawa West, despite the fact Mr. Mor- row was very much the senior as a member. Mr. Morrow sup ported Kelso Roberts. On the other hand John Root, member for Wellington - Duf- ferin, finds himself.no longer "honorable " Mr. Root, who _ supported James Allan and who has long been noted as a man who speaks good common sense, lost his spo' as a minister with- out portfolio he is Prof. Hallstein is somewhat alarmed, as he points out that the Commonwealth countries and the volume of Britain's trade with them are much greater than tle countries and the trade covered by the Com- mon Market group. AGRICULTURAL PROBLEM The length of time to be allowed before British agricul- ture is fitted into the Common Market agricultural policy is an- other question. Britain wants that done gradually over a period of 12 to 15 years. The Common Market has asked why so long a period is necessary, and also when this transition period should start. And another question on which negotiation is going to be diffi- cult concerns Britain's attitude towards the free movement of labor between the countries within the Common Market. This is a really knotty problem, even more so, perhaps, than the other three which have been mentioned. With all these and many other matters to be resolved, there is some justification for Mr. Spaak's estimate that the nego- tiations may well go on for a year. The Committee of 100, lead- ers in the campaign against nu- clear weapons, has launched a new plan of attack, through which it hopes to secure more positive and active support from trade unionists who support the committee's policy At a meet- ing made up largely of trade union representatives held in Caxton Hall, Westminster, the committee secured support for a proposal that workers who help to manufacture nuclear weapons be asked to lay down their tools as their measure of protest. Pat Pottle, acting secretary of the Committee of 100, asked workers who had anything to do with nuclear weapon produc- tion to say: "We are fed up with making weapons to destroy us" and lay down their tools. He said they had to tell the government that there was a movement so strong and so powerful that it would have to get rid of nuclear weapons. ff the workers backed the move ment and downed their toolg, the Committee of 100 would sua ceed in its aims. The meeting of about 100 pee- ple, among them representa- tives of the Transpor: and Gen- eral Workers' Union, the Na- tional Union of Mineworkers, and the railwaymen's and dock- ers' unions, supported the pro- posal made by Mr. Pottle. But that does not mean much. The unions as a whole would have quite a different answer to give to a proposal of this kind.
