2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, June 20, 1962 Dief Meeting Cabinet CMA Preoccupied : lst Time Since Vote OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker meets his cabinet today for the first time since Monday's general elec- tion thrust a minority govern- ment on the nation. "Insisting -- as he did Elec- tion Night--that his government fs and will continue in power, Mr. Diefenbaker flew into the capital Tuesday night after a 1,520-mile flight from Prince Albert, Sask., his home riding. i session was Diefenbaker, the ministerial lineup appears to be the most pressing immediate . Diefehbaker's ministers -- three Quebecers and one from Ontario -- were defeated when 118 Progressive Conservatives were elected to Commons compared with at the 1958 election. MUST FILL VACANCIES At an airport press confer- ence, Mr. Diefenbaker said the four .defeated ministers held) posts that have to be filled,| "and at an early date." | Some of his other state- ments: 1. No meetings are scheduled with representatives of the two minority parties -- the Social Credit and the New Democratic Party. 2. The possibility "always remains" of Parliament being summoned into session in Sep- tember, as indicated during the election campaign. : 3. Provincial representation in the cabinet is of "first im- portance." 4. If the "voice" of Canada abroad is weakened, then the attitudes and statements of the opposition are to blame. "There is no weakening of the voice of Canada by reason of the out- come of the election." While holding the largest single bloc in the new House, the Conservatives were 15 seats short of an over-all majority. The Libera! opposition in- creased its membership to 96 from 49, Social Credit staged a comeback with 30 seats and the New Democrats boosted membership to 19 from eight.

Britain and France offered to sell their jets to India in order to keep the MIGs out. But India replied that Anglo French prices were too high and India would not accept a subsidized price because this could be As well as the question of ap- pointing new ministers, Mr. Diefenbaker a'so _ faces the problem of money.

The defeated ministers--post master - General William Ham- ilton, State Secretary Dorion, Mines Minister Flynn and Works Minister Walker -- could conceivably continue to admin- ister their departments without parliamentary seats.

With the Saskatchewan divi sion fighting with their provin- cial government over imple- mentation July 1 of the Sas- katchewan Medical Care Insur- ance Act, many of the commit- tee recommendations approved by the delegates dealt with this theme.

Toronto Police Special Squad Guards Trucks TORONTO (CP) -- Metropoli- tan Toronto police have formed a special squad to guard trans- port trucks in the wake of a Series of truck burnings that has featured Ontario's province- wide trucking strike. The squad is patrolling truck- ing depots and parking lots where highway transport trucks are kept. The strike itself remained static as Canadian officials of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (Ind.) prepared for a national policy conference which opens in Banff, Alta., to- day. The meeting will be at- tended by James Hoffa, inter- Two more members of the Motor Transport Industrial Re- lations Bureau, agents for the 60 - odd strikebound truckers, signed agreements with Teams- ter locals Monday, bringing to six the number of firms to break the united front against the Teamsters.

Dr. G .W. Halpenny, president of the association, sent a tele- gram te Mr. Lloyd Tuesday calling for an immediate meet- ing between the government and the college to discuss the plan and pledging the full sup- port of the CMA to the Sas- katchewan doctors. WOULD INSPECT PLANS The CMA general council passed a committee recom- mendation that approved in principle the idea of prepaid medical care and suggested doctors set up committees on the divisional, provincial, level which would accredit plans, or discredit them, if asked by a person or group to investigate the plans. Committee Chairman Dr. R. L. Rabson of Winnipeg said in a press conference the com- mittees were not intended as a means of controlling such plans, but only as a means of aiding inquiring persons or groups in choosing the plan best suited to them and their needs. He said competition between physician-sponsored plans and privately-operated plans would provide the impetus by which plans of both types would con- tinue to expand and develop their services and that there should be as many competing plans as possible. He said he felt the integrity and ethics of the accrediting committees could be relied on for unbiased, impartial assess- ment of the plan under investi- gation.

It included a $14,000,000 mer- chandise trade deficit. But by far the biggest part of the in- ternational imbalance was again the non merchandise deficit, which rose by $5,000,000 to $349,000,000.

The picket lines were set up by the Seafarers' International Union in its battle with the Ca- nadian Maritime Union over representation aboard vessels operated by Upper Lakes Shin- ping Limited of Toronto. The SIU was picketing the James Norris, an Upper Lakes vessel that docked here to take on grain. Police, attempting to serve the citations, sank two motor launches manned by pickets in a wild chase in the Maumee Included in the latter figure were a $147,000,000 net outflow in the form of interest and divi- dends, a $98,000,000 drain in travel expenditures, and a $104,- 000,000 net payment in miscel- laneous current transactions abroad. The figures were released to- day by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, which said that allow- ing for seasonal factors the deficit on all non-merchandise transactions ran during the first quarter at an annual rate of about $1,250,000,000. Last year Canada had a total balance of payments deficit of $982,000,000. It was $1,243,000,- 000 in 1960 and $1,504,000,000 in 195{. Since 1949 there has been only one surplus--in 1952. The country's capital account in the January-March period showed a $364,00,000 inflow re- sulting from the government's reduction in its official holdings of gold and foreign exchange. Merchandise trade rose sharply in both directions but the rate of increase on ims ports exceeded the rise on exe ports, yielding an import bal- ance of $14,000,000, compared with an export balance of $6,- 000,000 in the first three months of 1962.
