Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1963--PAGE 6 Arguments Presented Against Capital Flow The Canadian-American commit- tee, a representative group of Cana- dians and Americans devoted to the encouragement of better under- standing of the two countries' mutual problems, is strongly urging both the Canadian and U.S. govern- ments to reconsider their proposals to restrict the flow of capital be- tween the two parts of North America. The committee's argument runs this way: In the 20th century, Canada and the United States have been reaping the benefits of a common North American market for capital, rein- forced by a substantial degree of freedom of trade and travel between the two countries. For Canada it has meant access to productive resources without which the country would not have attained its present levels of productivity and material welfare. For the United States, it has meant access to raw materials which make a major contribution to the high productivity of the American economy and greatly en- hance its capacity for national de- fence. The restrictive proposals would have both direct and indirect affects on the cost and efficiency of capital for industrial development in both countries. The erection of barriers to the free flow of capital across he international boundary in res- ponse to market forces would be similar to that produced by efforts to impede capital movements be- tween regions within each country. Neither country can possibly gain from such financial discrimination, The restrictions will tend to in- hibit and complicate the develop- ment of closer and freer trading re- lations between the two countries. The tensions and uncertainties pro- duced in financial relations will un- doubtedly spread -- indeed, are al- ready spreading -- to other aspects of Canadian-American economic re- lations. A retreat from interdepen- dence in one area will inevitably precipitate retreats in other areas. Finally, non-discriminatory treat- ment of foreign investment has long been a principle which Canada and the U.S. have been endeavoring to induce other nations to apply in their treatment of Canadian and American investors. Drift Of Soviet Labor Following Stalin's death in 1953 the Soviet workingman was prom- ised a "new deal" -- more con- sumer goods and more power for the unions that claim to represent him. It wa: hasized that im- proved living standards would de- pend on increased output per work- er. However, while there have been impressive gains in the last few years, productivity in Soviet factories is still only about one- third as high as in North America, Even according to official propa- ganda claims the real income of the Russian worker rose only by 18 per cent from 1959 through 1962; since this was less than the gain in Western Europe, the gap be- tween Russian and Western Euro- pean living standards is not shrink- ing and perhaps is even widening.' Even though economic growth is falling below the aims of the cur- rent Seven Year Plan, the Russian worker feels he should have more of what has been gained. For 1962 the government reported an increase in industrial producton of 9.5 per cent --. Western observers place it at something between six and seven per cent -- but the Soviet press claims only a three Immigration The argument is not new, but some facts and opinions presented in a recent speech by Immigration Minister Guy Favreau are worth repetition. From 1950 to 1962, reported Mr. Favreau, 9,850 newcomers estab- lished businesses of their own at a capital cost of more than $116 mil- lion, and these new businesses created employment for close to 45,000 persons. In the first seven months of the present year, recent immigrants invested nearly $15 mil- lion in 850 new enterprises. From 1960 to 1962, immigrants bought 7,147 farms. worth nearly $100 million and rented more than The Oshatwa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Also, during 1962 there were drastic price increases-- of 30 percent' for meat and 25 per cent for butter -- and postpone- ments of promises to raise wages cut working hours, and reduce in- come taxes for workers in the lower middle-income bracket. All of this has led a large num- ber of Soviet workers to register their discontent in the only legal, effective way open to them -- by drifting from job to job in search of better pay, better working con- ditions and decent housing. They are able to do this because of the 1956 repeal of the law which im- posed a jail term for leaving a job without their employer's' permis- sion. In the opinion of Western ob- servers another main reason for the Soviet's high labor turnover is that the labor unions, despite the government's promises of a broader function, are still largely impotent. There is no true collective bargain- ing, and the strike weapon is ban- ned on the theory that the workers themselves own production facili- ties. "Against whom are they to strike?" Mr. Khrushchev has asked. "Against themselves?" Figures 1,300 others. In the first seven months of the present year, 348 newcomers bought farms valued at more than $6 million. Immigrants have provided a very large market for homes and home. furnishings: the percentage of immigrants who own a home after residing here for five years is 46.5; of those who have been in Canada 'nine years the proportion of home-owners: is 56.6 per cent, and more than: two-thirds of immigrants who have been in the country for 12 years own their own homes. "The infusion into the Canadian economy of $1.117 billion of capital brought by immigrants between 1946 and 1962 is worth remember- ing," said Mr. Favreau, "together with the $422,700,000 in settlers' effects . ..I would wish you to be- lieve that immigration is a most valuable asset to the Canadian economy ... True, they will share our goods and our resources, but they will also contribute their share to the national economy."

Conservative Leadership Top Conference Question FEELING AIRSICK ALREADY WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Kitchener Record: Seven municipalities in the Grand River Valley complex are com- bining to battle the federal gov- ernment on its recent designa- tion of Brantford as a distressed area, They are afraid they will lose industries to Brantford under. the special assistance offered to plants to locate in the officially named areas. The opposition is. understand- able. But more confusing is a suggestion that one way to coun- ter it is to declare all seven of the protesting communities as distressed areas. Every night for months, The Record has carried a long list of job openings. Employers re- port there is a shortage of all kinds of labor, skilled and other- wise. How this could be turned into an official label of distress would baffle the most astute twister of official terminology. This isn't to suggest that there is no merit in the argument of the seven complainers.. They may well feel that in this case Jack of enterprise, which has been evident in Brantford over a long period, is being reward- ed. This is always galling to the person or organization that has been more farseeing and more willing to spend money to pros- per. One example will illustrate. Kitchener went out and spent $1,250,000 on an auditorium which has proven an asset to the community and which must help make it more attractive to industries looking for new plant locations. Brantford has reso- lutely refused to build any kind of municipal auditorium and the only rink it owns is a travesty of the name. Further muddling the situa- tion is a complaint from Brant- ford civic officials about the designation of the city as a dis- tressed area and the fact that no on-the-spot survey of the situ- ation. was. made by federal offi- cials before the classification was announced. Obviously there are depressed areas in Canada and no one will quarrel with the general idea of helping them. It is also to be expected that communities which may suffer as a result of the new policy will complain. The general good has to be the final consideration, but there is enough merit in local com- plants to suggest that Ottawa should take another look at this specific case, which could be different to most others. Hamilton Spectator: It is im- possible to legislate human emotions. As Prime Minister Pearson said in a speech in Cleveland, "the ideals of brotherhood are not enforce- able." He said that it is as im- possible for governments to put brotherhood into the hearts of men as it is for the United Nations to put brotherhood into the hearts of nations. This does not mean that the ideals of brotherhood are not worth a battle of words. They most certainly are. A dialogue is good for all sides, but dog-. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct, 5, 193... American forces under Gen. W. H. Harrison de- feated a combined British and Indian force near Mora- viantown, Ont., 150 years ago today--in 1813--during the War of 1812-14. The British commander, Col. Henry A. Proctor, escaped but the Indian chief Tecum- seh was killed. Following the battle the village of Moraviantown was de- stroyed. 1958--The constitution of France's Fifth Republic came into force. 1880 -- Composer Jacques Offenbach died. natism isn't. That's been the trouble with the battles for brotherhood. One side is so sure it's right that it just can't understand how the other side, which is also sure it's right, can possibly have the gall to argue. It is sc easy to have set opin- ions that most of us don't real- ize that underneath our charm and goodwill walks a bit of a bigot. Not bigoted about every- thing, but bigoted about some- thing. So what about races? It's hard to find a person who can honestly say that he likes peo- ple of other colors as much as he likes those with his own shade of skin. Anyway , you can't beat preju- dice with statutes. Education and exposure can help beat it: What statutes can do is help protect people from each other. It is the laudable aim of minor- ity groups who are victims of prejudice and bigotry to get such statutes in the books. They want the laws of the land to safeguard their freedoms. They want governments and the police to enforce the laws. But they don't expect to be loved or even liked. James Baldwin, in his book, "The Fire Next Time," says the American Negro doesn't want to live arm in arm with the white man. Most of them dislike white people. They don't want to associate with them so- cially, Baldwin says. They merely want equal rights to live and let live. A great many people forget that the average colored person has as little use for the white as many whites have for him. Repeating what Mr. Pearson said: "'Neither national govern- ments nor a world assembly can legislate human _ emotions." But governments can legislate human actions. Ottawa Journal: The Prime Minister and his minister in charge of pensions should har- monize. Health Minister LaMarsh was quoted last week as saying that an inquiry into pensions plans could delay the start of additional pensions. She said the Government did not want a committee inquiry but might be "forced" into it, Mr. Pearson said on Sunday that if the plan were proceeded with he would wish to send it to a committee "where those in favor of it and those who op- pose jt outside Parliament could be heard, because that is the way it should be done." Of course that's the way it GALLUP POLL should be done. Government plans proceeded with in haste are repented at leisure and no one should know that better than the Pearson administration . after its embarrassments with Mr, Walter Gordon. Halifax Chronicle - Herald: A decade ago Sir Alec Guinness made a film entitled "The Man in the White Suit". In it, he played a chemist who invent- ed a materia] that would never wear out. Instead of being honored throughout the world, as he ex- pected, poor Sir Alec was hounded and ostracized both by labor unionists and textile capi- talists. In the end his indestruct- ible material disintegrated, so that peace and prosperity, jobs and dividends were not jeopar- dized after all. The moral, however, remain- ed: don't do anything that inter. feres with the processes of con- tinuous consumption, No one will thank you for it. Fort William Times-Journal: Ontario's department of lands and forests has done very well in setting up accommodation for holiday travellers in pro- vincial parks. However, it has nothing quite as elaborate as the People's Vacation Village. estab lished in 20 national and 19 quasinational Japanese parks by the country's health and wel- fare ministry. Object of the abitious peo- gram is to provide suitable. ac- commodation of moderate rates so that the average Japanese family can enjoy vacation trips to scenic spots throughout the nation. The project was initiated in 1961. Ten villages are currently under construction, all of which will be completed this year. These so-called '"'people's vil- lages" actually are quite elab- orate and are capable of accom- modating from 800 to 3,000 people daily in bungalows. Recreational facilities avail- able include camping grounds, swimming pools, boating, ski and skating grounds, ropeways, aquariums, museums and botan- ical gardens. Cost per person per night, in- clusive of two meals, is $2. How's that for a bargain. TRY NEW COUNT LAGOS (AP) -- Nigeria will try again Nov. 4-8 to make an accurate count of its population, estimated at 40,000,000. A census made last year was dis- carded as grossly inaccurate.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) pondent : Corres; For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Conservative party con'erence at Blackpool will be the most crucial for the party that has been held in re- cent years, Although it will probably not be mentioned on the conference platforms, the one topic in everyone's miud will be whether Mr. Macmillan is to retire as party leader and prime minister. Traditionally, the prime min- ister does not take any part in the conference proceedings. His one appearance is made at a great party rally on the Satur- day after the conference has completed its debates. And his political future may well rest on the effect which this speech from him will have on the dele- gates. The importance of the confer- ence is also emphasized because it is the last the party will hold before the next general election. And another big factor in mak- ing it significant is that the aspirants to the post now hed by Prime Minister Macmillan will have their opportunities to make 4n impact on the rank and file delegates. ASPIRANTS ON LIST All of those most prominently mentioned as prospective suc- cessors to Mr. Macmillan have key spots on the agenda. Iain Macleod has probably the best opportunity of making an im- pression on the delegates. He has been named to make the wind-up speech of the confer- ence, and this will enable him to show his mettle as a support- winner, R, A. Butler is assigned the ' task of dealing with the affairs of the Central African Federa- tion; and that is not an enviable one. Ted Heath will take the centre of the stage to deal with Britain's relations with Europe, and in the light of the <olla: pse" of all his ef'orts to bring Britain prime into the Common Market. he will be in a rather tough spot for making a strong impression on the delegates. ~ Reginald Maudling, whose eco- nomic policies are producing very good results, so far, has a great opportunity of pro- moting his own prospects of be- ing the next party leader, be- cause he has a good storv to tell, one, more likely to arouse enthusiasm than the speeches of the other aspirants. Lord Hailsham should not. be counted out yet. He is not on the conference agenda propvr, but is scheduled to speak at a rally of the Conservative Poiiti- cal Centre on the second eve- ning of the conference. If he wants to stake a claim on the leadership, which would mean giving up his peerage and re- turning to the House of Com- mons, this will be is opvor- tunity to do it. MACMILLAN'S POSITION Behind all this, and tran- scending everything else in im- portance is the question of whut Mr. Macmillan intends to do The general feeling at he moment is that while the Den- ning report on the Profumo scandal let the government down very lightly, there was in it an implied criticism of the prime minister's failure to have dealt with that situation as cap- ably as he might have done. This leaves him highly vu'ner- able to a vicious opposition. at- Only Winnipeg Giving Actors Full Education TORONTO (CP)--The director of the Canadian Players says that only one Canadian city-- Winnipeg -- is providing young acting. prospects with a fully rounded theatrical education. Desmond Scott, 36-year-old ac- tor, writer and director who left England for Canada in 1957 "because everything sounded so much more exciting over here," shared the duties of resident di- rector at the Manitoba Theatre Centre with John Hirsch for three years. Even at the National Theatre School in Montreal, where he has been an instructor the last two years, he found shortcom- ings. "Though the students there work much harder than they do in England, they're behind. The reason is there's so little real theatre for them to see here. "At the National Theatre School we actually get people, very tdlented people, who've never seen a play in their lives." Only in Winnipeg does he feel the right things are being done to rectify the situation. 'GOOD SCHOOL' "That's not just because the Manitoba Theatre Centre's standards are as high as, or higher than, anywhere else. But the MTC is also doing an active job of educating young peopl in the theatre, by going on tours and by taking production right into the high schools. They've also got a very good theatre school." Scott says he left the Mani- toba group last year because "I felt it was time for me to move on" but hopes "to continue di- recting productions at the MTC for years to come," He's currently immersed in the problems of rounding the Canadian Players' new produc- tions into shape--and one prob- lem is a shortage of qualified Canadian talent. The Canadian Players, founded in 1954 by' Douglas Campbell partly to provide an outlet for the talents of Strat- ford Shakespearean Festival ac- tors. during the winter, goes. on tour in mid-October with King Henry IV, Part I and Ibsen's An Enemy of the People. But because the Stratford sea- son now runs so long, the Cana- dian Players must look else- where for featured performers and this year has filled most of the major roles with Americans. He says it was a "dismaying experience" trying to find good actors among those at liberty. "I must have interviewed more than 50 people, who came absolutely unprepared. I'd send them away for.a week to get something ready, and they'd come back sounding no better. "They all belonged to ACTRA and Equity but anyone walking in off the street could have done just as well." BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO A bylaw was passed in favor of council to spend $25,000 for the erection of a grandstand in Alexandra Park. Rev. J. H. McBain, pastor of Simcoe Street Methodist Church, was elected president of the Oshawa Ministerial Asso- ciation. Donald McKay gave a talk to the Oshawa Rotary Club on the progress of radio since incep- tion. The first parties to whom he gave credit were Prof. Hertz, Marconi and Prof, Fleming. A Brantford architectural firm asked to be relieved of their undertaking to build a new Oshawa High School for $246,000 due to an error in the tender. King street east was in the process of being paved. The Oshawa Fire Department under the leadership of Fire Chief A. C. Cameron gave a Morag prevention" demonstra- tion. The Bishop Bethune College was equipped with a laboratory for physics and chemistry through the generosity of W. F. Cowan. Four carloads of Alberta coal were allotted to Oshawa by the - Ontario government. Eighty-six new members were added to the Public Library lists during September, increasing the adults and children's circu- lation to 3,853. The Home and School Council asked the town council to pro- vide a curfew bylaw to take ef- fect at eight o'clock in the win- ter and nine o'clock in the sum- mer. Bandmaster Partridge, leader of the Ontario County Regimen- tal Band, left for Albany, N.Y. to take over leadership of five bands. Customs figures per month in Oshawa were approaching the million dollar mark.

There is within the cabinet & very definite division of opinion on the subject. Most of the min- isters, and particularly those ned with def , are of the opinion that the force would be of little military value, and would not be worth the hundreds of million dollars it would cust Britain. The foreign office, head- ed by Lord Home, on the other hand, believes that from a politi- cal standpoint, Britain snould at least join with the other NATO countries in discussing the pro- posal, but without committing itsel' to British participation in the force, The foreign office, however, now has little hope of persuad- ing the majority of the cabinet to agree with it, This majority group feels that if Britain sits in on the discussions and then refuses to take part in the force, it will do more harm to NATO relations than if she stood com- pletely aloof. And it would mean Britain spending money it can ill afford to make bigger a bang which is already big enough. ATTACK ON SLUMS A massive investigation of Britain's slums, housing prob- lems, land speculation and rent rackets is to be undertaken. It has been ordered by the Town and Country Planning Associa- tion, and will cut across all political frontiers and parties, Its aim is to produce a reliabie blueprint for Britain's housing needs for the next 30 years. To ensure that a thorough job of investigation is done, the job has been handed over to a Lon- reo firm of industrial consult- ants, . Behind. the plans of the Town and Country Planning Associa- tion is a conviction that nobody really knows the number - of slum houses in Britain. The iast official return, made in 1955, estimated the number at 600,- 000. Today, the association be- lieves that these figures are 'very much suspect and grossly under-estimate the problem In the investigation, the prob- lem of older people with fixed incomes will come under ciose scrutiny. Newlyweds and par- ents with young children will pe given the opportunity of outlin- ing the-type o* homes they want. Sharp criticism of land price and planning of land availabil- ity is anticipated. And because the association has supporters in all political parties, the effort will be entirely non-partisan. It is intended to ascertain the facts, after which the associa- tion will not be afraid to z.ve its views on what is admitted to be a bad situation.
