ae ty oy ny |) She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Kennedy Tax Proposals Have Echoes In Canada am sPresident Kennedy's far-reach- ing proposal for a huge income tax cut in the United States will en- courage those in Canada -- the Cahadian Chamber of Commerce, for example -- who have recently been urging some similar action by Ottawa. But it will do nothing to resolve the argument between those who think that tax cuts are possible even in a period of deficit fMancing, and those who believe that tax cuts are possible only after the federal budget has been balanced. By stages, Mr. Kennedy would reduce income taxes. by a stag- gering total of $13,500 million. Individual tax rates would be cut from the present range of 20 to 914 per cent "to a more sensible range of 14 to 65 per cent". The top corporate rate would be low- eréd from 52 per cent to the pre- Korea level of 47 per cent. Mr. Kennedy said that about one- fourth of the resulting losses in revenue would be recouped through tax reform. The gradual cuts would lessen the impact on federal finan- ces. He described the package as "a fiscally responsible program -- the surest and soundest way of achieving in time a balanced budget in a balanced full employment economy." He was saying, in other words, that the tax cuts should come before the balancing of the U.S. budget -- the same position taken by the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce. And it is on this point, probably, that he will meet the stiffest resistance in Congress. There is a substantial difference between the American and Cana- dian deficits, however. The United States government would find it fairly simple to balance its budget; it could cut its foreign aid by a few percentage points. Canada has saddled itself with heavy fixed charges. And Canada must spread its debt over just 18 million people. In both countries, tax cuts can be sound only if they are based on a broad and enlightened program of tax reform. Hees' Serious Charge Trade Minister George Hees has made a serious charge against the Libera) party. In an address to the Progressive Conservative Club at Waterloo University this week he skid: ""By doing everything in their power to undermine confidence in their country's future, the Liberal party hopes to cut down employ- ment in industries which would otherwise be able to start up or expand, and by creating unem- ployment gain votes for their party in a future election. By following such a policy, they are putting the fortunes of their party before the welfare of their country." That is the sort of statement one would éxpect to be made in the heat of a bitter election cam- paign, not in the course of a reason- ed address in an academic atmos- phere. It is quite possible that the gloomier prophets of the Liberal party are indeed eroding Cana- dian confidence by constantly harp- ing oh real or imagined économic problems. But to accuse them of a deliberate attempt at. economic sabotage is to accuse them of something very close to treason -- and that is something few reason- able people will accept, weary though they may be of the Liberal dirge. Mr. Hees may have done his party more harm than good with his accusation. That Mr. Hees should be irritated is understandable. By all measures, 1962 was a good year for Canada -- national production up seven per cent, consumer spending up 82 per cent, steel output up 10 per cent, cement 11 per cent, electrical appliances 15 per cent, petroleum 17 per cent, natural gas 44 per cent, automobiles 30 per cent, and so on. But irritation is not enough of an excuse for outrageous accusations. The fact that Mr. Hees and his colleagues must face is that, while they have done much to pump energy into the Canadian economy, thy have not yet solved such basic problems as the unfavorable pay- ments balance and the stagnating effect of the present tax system. It's de Gaulle Again President de Gaulle has finally come out and said what his actions indicated he thought: He'd just as soon not have Britain in the Euro- pean Common Market. "The nature and structure of Britain is profoundly different from the continental states," he says, and this poses a great problem on how to fit-Britain into the Com- mon Market; the quéstion, he says, is to know if Britéin can put her-». self into a position to drop the ties with the Commonwealth, cease to protect her argrieultural and break her ties with the free trade aréa nations, In brief, de Gaulle wants Britain in the Common Market only. if Britain eah be tied securely to the French. tumbril.

If de Gaulle has his way, West- ern Europe will become a protec- tionist. federation, looking inward upon itself. The French president seems unable to look beyond Europe, to recognize the realities outside Europe, or to dream of anything but a Europe once more led to glory by the genius of France. But he is doing more than simply putting a squeeze on Britain. He is putting his Common Market part- ners 'into. a very difficult and un- comfortable position. Italy and the Benelux countries want Britain in the Market, as much for political as for economic reasons. They dis- trust the de Gaulle-Adenauer in fluence. Afid now even Adenauer is taking a léss haughty attitude; his political position in West Germany is weaker than it has ever been, and neither his colleagues nor his political opponents. agree with him in his support of the de Gaulle intransigence, The other Common Market part- ners, left to themselves, would prob- ably make an accommodation for Britain, but they do not want to destroy the new-found unity of their economic community. But they can see the many dangers inherent in the de Gaulle position and can be expected to try to impress them on de Gaulle. Whether they can shake de Gaulle's sublime belief in his own rightness or his. built-in distrust of Anglo-Saxons is some- thing else.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDO N-- A British experi- mental unit has developed fog- beating automatic landing equipment for aircraft, and has aroused the interest of several European countries. During the recent week of thick fog, when London's Airport was com- pletely closed down for several days, the only aircraft to land at that airport and take off again was one equipped with this new equipment. In spite of visibility being down almost to zero because of the thick smog, the landings and take- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Many a person has got pain. fully scorched in trying to fight the devil with fire.

"Time is a great healer'? -- but it leaves a lot of scars. YOUR HEALTH offs were accomplished with the greatest of ease, and no diffi- culties were experienced. This equipment has been de- veloped at the Blind Landing Experimental Unit at Bedford. When the thick fog descentied on the whole of the south of England, and particulanly around London, the staff there said "What lovely weather." It was just what they needed to try out their aircraft, equipped with this special device, under the most severe conditions. And it worked perfectly, FOREIGN INTEREST At the same time, another aircraft equipped with similar equipment was being demon- Strated to the French and. the Germans, The aeroplanes being uséd are old Varsities, slow piston-engined aircraft owned by the ministry of aviation, They may be hack aircraft but the backers of the project. are look- ing ahead to the day when jet pilots of the future will be grateful for the work they are doing.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molter; Please write about "soot spots." I am 40 and noticed them four years ago, I have almost perfect vision but these spots bother, espe- cially when I get nervous, I get nervous. I have been to turee eye doctors and they say nothing is wrong, and that this Condition is not~unusual. My questions are: Will they cause you to go blind? Cah they be treated? What causes them? --S.H. "Soot spots' is one term. "Floaters" is another, And some annoyed possessors have devised other afd sometimes unprintable names for them. They aren't worth fretting about. The eyeball, you know, is full of fluid and some tiny particle, a part of the fluid chemistry, becomes a '"'vitreous floater." This doesn't constitute a disease condition. If a spot is fixed in one place and doesn't float, that's another matter. It can represent an eye disorder. But not the floater Will it cause blindness? No. Can it be removed or treated? No, again. They possibly occur a little More often, or seem to anyway, in people who need glassesn but they can affect anybody, "S.H."" betrays an important point in that they "'bother me, éspecially when I get nervous." That's par for the course, too. You are nervous or tense and notice the "'floater." The more you try to follow them around in your field of vision, the more conscious you become of them. When something else happens to seize your attention, you for- get about the floaters and don't realize they are there. I admit they can be as much of a nuisance as an itch. I've cussed at thét myself when they've floated around while I was trying to study something through a microscope. Dear Dr. Molner: What is meant by stigar in thé urine? Could it be caused by things you eat, or by an infection?-- M.M. Sugar in the urine means that diabetes has developed unless proved otherwise. Diabetes is not caused by any- thing you eat, although we know it occurs oftener in overweight people. The cause, in fact, is not known, In a case of mild diabetes, infection can cause sugar to ap- pear in the urine when, other- wise, it might have been under control. The infection, however, does not cause the diabetes If you have sugar in the urine, See your doctor for a blood st- gar test and being getting treat, ment. Dear Dr. Molner: I would like to know how to get rid off freckles. I'm 13.--John M: You can rinse 'em with lemon juice or peroxide, with the hope of bleaching them, but it won't do much good. Neither will any- thing else. A. few freckles are very attractive. landings made at either airport. The next step will be the testing of the equipment on jet aircraft, It is to be fitted into some of the early Transail planes, a twin turbo-prop trans- port airplane developed by an alliance of French and German manufacturers. A good deal of other British equipment is going into the Transal] 160, including Rolls-Royce engines. An official of the Smiths Compaciy stated that in France, Sud Aviation have installed the automatic landing equipment in a Caravelle jet airliner, and will be testing it shortly, Fully automatic landing gear is ultimately to be installed in the Trident airliners now beirig built for British European Air- ways. It will come into opera- tional use in stages. Duning the tests made in the recent fogs in London, several BEA captains were shown how the system works. United States aiflines, also, are looking at this new British device. It has been fitted into a DC 7 airliner for tests by the Federal Avia- tion Agency.
