OTTAWA REPOR1 Canada Labelled 'Selfish Trader' She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited _ % King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario A Canadian Press wie out of Montreal which a ee Wiison> Pustisnes--------- WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1965 --- PAGE 4 Those Backroom Boys Break Down Balloting The backroom boys who plot poli- tical strategy seem a brazen lot. While seeking to win our support for their parties they anticipate the choice we will make. Despite the se- cret ballot and all. that they have us all placed in our particular categor- iés. The near stand-off elections of 1962 and 1963 which generally dis- tressed the country were made to or- der for politicial statisticians These close votes enabled them to deter- thine the ballotting was split along Hoth racial and age lines. Their con- clusions were solicited recently by Ottawa correspondent Richard Jack- son, : The Conservatives found their warmest support in the rural areas, the towns and smaller cities among the English Protestants and the older voters. The Tories were weak- est among Catholics, French-Cana- dians and the, large and growing ethnic groups in the larger cities, The Liberals, of course, were strong where the Conservatives were weak- est, except in Quebec's backwoods constituencies. The ethnic groups gave the Con- servatives scarcely one quarter of their votes, almost 40 per cent of their ballots went to the Libefals, It was also found the Conservatives lacked strength with the university students, the just-out-of-college per- sons and the first-time voters. The over-21 and under-30 voters were Liberal, the 30- and 40-year- olds split about evening Liberal and Conservatives, the 40- to 50-year group leaned three to two for Pear- son while those over-50 "followed John" almost exclusively. By 50, the backroom pollsters maintain, politi- cal loyalty has hardened, The reflex is Conservative and the ballot is marked almost automatically, Whatever vinfluence such statis- tics may have on those who vote, they seem to have set the course for party leaders, Prime Minister Pear- son certainly focusses much atten- tion on the campus crowd and Mr, Diefenbaker plays constant court to the elderly. For the rest of us, especially the individuals who bridle at being pre- packaged, the reaction could well be to prove the backroom boys wrong. Politics With Water The Milwaukee Journal recalls that when Rip van Winkle went to sleep for 20 years, he awoke to find life on the Hudson River changed al- most beyond recognition, Anyone going to sleep today, it adds, might well awake (in far less than two de- cedes) to find the river itself changed beyond recognition, Both Washington and Albany ask the New York voters to approve a one billion dollar bond issue, one of whose prime targets will be the puri- fication of Hudson River water.

Of course, there is no program to suck the Hudson dry. But the utili- zation of a small percentage of river water would bring a major im- provement in New York City's prob- lem and that of other streamside cities and towns. But to east New York City's problem and that of other streamside towns, a costly and complicated system of purification plants and gear must be set to work, New York State's bond issue is a clear warning that a solution to this continent's growing water problem will not come cheaply, Nor will it come easily in many areas. Not only will large financial outlays be need- ed, but special skills will have to be developed to cope with the problem, As The Charlottetown Guardian notes, we may be more fortunate than our American neighbors in this respect, in that our water resources present the problem in a less urgent way. But clearly it is one of the big problems of tomorrow, Ottawa and Ontario have already undertaken an assessment of water resources. fb his is but the first step in-a- whole s that will have to be petal nationally and international- ly. It is far too important a matter to be bogged down in partisan poli- tics, in which it has now, apparently, become involved. "By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Canada has a world-wide reputation as being a selfish international trader, and the country which has been most consistently damaged by our attitude is our oldest trad- ing partner, Britain, Our traditional pattern of trade has been to buy more from the U.S, than they will buy from us, and to make up this deficit in international pay- ments by buying less from Brit- ain than we sell her, When Brit- ain had substantial "invisible exports,' such as revenues from large overseas inyest- ments, she was able to help Canada by tolerating that iu- balance, But since Britain was forced to strip herself of her overseas investments, to fi- nance the purchase of munitions from the U.S. during the first part of the Second World War, it has become increasingly im- portant for Britain to close the previously generous gap be- tween what she bought from Canada and what we would buy from her Last year, for instance, Brit. ain bought Canadian exports worth $1,199,000,000, But our purchases from Britain totalled less than half that hug figure. TRADE EXPANDS Anti dumping -- legislation aimed primarily against the U.S, was imposed several vears ago, but unexpectedly it has hit Britain hardest, In the ensuing seven years, the U.S,'s share of our import market has risen to 71.7 per cent from 67.3, while unreasonable and harsh appli- cation of our anti-dumping pro- visions has slashed Britain's share of our import market to 7.1 per cent from 10,7, Canadian officials and_ poli- ticlans try to excuse this by claiming that Britain, once de- scribed as a nation of store- keepers, cannot sell in competi- tive markets. The lie is given to this slick claim by the fact that Britain has increased her exports to the U.S. by 75 per cent in the last four years, ana in that period Canada has fallen from _being Britain's -- second 'best customer to her eighth, with the U.S. being joined by Australia, West Germany, South Africa, Holland and even Sweden in buying more from Britain than we do. In a drive to boost her sales to Canada, Britain is this month lauinching a major export oper ation named CANEXTOUR. British trade commissioners from our major cities will spend six weeks in Britain talking to individual companies about their prospects for selling more to Canada in 11 selected lines, These include electronic compo nents, foodstuff and confections ery, material handling equip: ment, packaging machinery, toys, surgical and medical in- struments, and laboratory and scientific. equipment, Another line is textile machinery, where the U.S, dominates the Cana- dian market although British prices are typically lower. OUTSELL OTHERS These fields have been chosen after a careful study of Can- ada's buying pattern, and in all these cases Britain has ample reason for believing that she can. outsell other exporting na- tions in the Canadian market, The great expansion of our re- sources industries here means that there will be a large and growing demand for investment goods; while our widespread prosperity offers a 'growing market for consumer goods The price of failure of CAN- EXTOUR would be costly to Ca- nadians, If Britain cannot. sell more to Canada, she will be compelled to bring our mutual trade more closely into. balance by buying less from us, That could. jeopardise at least half of the 280,000 jobs in Canada which now are directly related to our sales to Britain. This situation nostalgically echoes one of the first declara- tions by the newly installed Prime Minister John Diefen- baker in 1957: His government would take steps to remedy the extreme imbalance in Anglo- Canadian trade. He kept his promise as there was a steady rise in Canadian imports from Britain for five years, Unified China Heightens Its Wall Of Self-Sufficiency By IAN McCRONE PEKING (Reuters) -- 'China today, more unified than ever, is building higher its new great wall of self - sufficiency against the outside world, \ better - fed, better - clothed and better - housed populace is being told to rely on its own efforts for everything. Willingness to expand trade with friendly countries and buy overseas if the price is right still is expressed in high places, But the mood of the country, set by the writings of 72-year- old Communist party chairman Mao Tse - tung, is: "Let us match all that foreigners can do, then achieve what they can- not," : All that the elderly Commu- nist leadership promises its flock of some 700,000,000 is a good life decades hence--some- thing the leaders themselves are unlikely to live to see, Statements that China now trades with 120 countries and territories and wants more two- way trade on the basis of "mu- iuai advaniage and mutual re- spect'? are somewhat offset by: --The intensity of the drive for self-sufficiency in agricul- ture, light and heavy indus- tries, chemicals, petroleum and raw materials, --A foreign policy which this year has seen a lessening of support for Peking in a num- ber of African countries, set- backs at the Afro-Asian con- ference in Algiers, the antl- Communist campaign in Indo- nesia and reverses for the Viet Cong guerrillas in South Viet Nam. The needs of a huge unsat- \sfied home market, coupled with a limited range of ex- portable goods to pay for heavy imports, The new great wall makes sense to the average Chinese, ill-informed on international af- fairs, He sees himself surrounded by the hated "U.S, imperialists" and their allies on three sides and faced by the Russian "re- visionists" on the fourth Children are being indoctri- nated from the nursery upward, A fantastic number of people --perhaps 200,000,000--who have never seen an American in the flesh, are being force-fed a mo- notonous anti-U.S. diet, The Chinese leaders are deler- Mined to try to prevent the chil- dren of the revolution--the gen- eration born after 1949--from accepting the concept of "rich communism." Attacks on the Russian reyis- fonists are made in parallel to the anti-American campaign. Se Lh at TUITION FEES CLIMB... . MORE STRUGGLE TO ENTER Most Colleges Crowded -- Little Relief Seen By CAL HOLLOWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer Enrolment in Canadian uni- yersities this year increased nearly 13 per cent over 1964-65, And, despite the addition of new campus buildings, generally most colleges are crowded and for many there appears little re- lief in sight The Association of Universi- ties and Colleges estimates that 201,000 students will cram into the country's halls of higher learning, compared with 178,200 last year. 4 Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press shows that tuition fees and accommodation costs have risen at several uni- versities -- notably in Eastern Canada--but more high school graduates than ever are strug- gling for enrolment Reasons for the academic population explosion vary across the country. They include the general growth of population, the boom in post- war babies, the opening of new universities and availability student loans Douglas Chevrier, registrar ¢ the University of Manitoba-- which increased its enrolment by 2,000 to 12,000--says there is a "growing realization § that something beyond high school is desired to meet competition in society." The established, larce wversities continue to expand at an expected pace -- generally conuinuing about 10 per cent each year-- but new colleges are expanding more rapidly, far out-growing projected figures Nearly all of the 32 universi- for ties surveyed reported arts and used science courses the most popu- new lar; education and engineering were next Several universities added new courses Cost of living on or campus has remained steady in general, averaging about $700 for room and board during the 7'4-month academic year, Costs about are Slightly lower in the Atlan- the tic provinces and the Prairies than elsewhere, despite an in- crease this year have off the the lison A. general arts or science averages about $500 for tuition fee.

He was only 26 years old, but his ship "Loudon" was well equip- ped and manned by the best seamen, However, as often happened in those days, the "Loudon" did not sail. under her own colors, She was sent to Os. onde for a refit, and made to look like a ship of Austriab registry, She could be 'described: as a pirate, smn ite lt was while he was in Ostende that Charles Barclay met 17-year-old Frances Horn- by Trevor, daughter of a British padre who happened to be there. They fell in love and were married on October 27, 1786, The voyage to Vancouver Island was their honeymoon and they arrived at Nootka the following June. The Indians were astonished to see a white 'woman. Frances was astonished to see them, but even more so to find a young Irish doctor living with them. He was John Mackay who had been left there the previous year by another British expedi- tion, He had lived among the Indians to see what he could do about their health, and methods of raising food, Mackay was a great help to Barclay and could act as inter- preter, They mapped a good *1678--Holland deal of the coast, named the Strait of Juan da Fuca, and left their own names Hornby, Trevor, Barclay and Mackay on many places as_ lasting memorials.

Michael Servetus, a Span- ish doctor, was burned alive at Champel, near Geneva, 412 years ago today--in 1553 --for heresy. His denial of the theological: doctrine of the Trinity and of the eter- nitv. of Christ's existence made him a heretic to both Catholics and Protestants and he had escaped from the Inquisition only three months before the Calvinists seized him.
