But the pact signed Jan. 15, 1965, is getting a thorough chew- ing first. The Opposition tried twice Thursday to amend the govern- ment resolution asking Com- mons approval for the major agreement. The first amendment, to send the matter to the standing com- mittee on energy and national resources, was ruled out of order. Speaker Lucien Lamoureux indicated that a second amend- ment, requiring prior parlia- mentary approval before the agreement is reviewed in 1968, will go the same way.

"Do not be misled by occa- | Sional burst of what may appear to yos to be shrill nationalism (in Canada)," Mr. Sharp told the audience of about 300 stu- dents, professors, and Roches- ter businessmen.

But he said they had moments of high tension, suspense, and drama behind the scenes. This was obviously how he Mr. Sharp said in his lecture that Canadian - American eco- three years in -which he has finance minister were, on the chosen as representatives of the country's provincial and muni- cipal councils and the major re- |ligious and political groupings. A long-term program of the military government for restor- ing elected civilian rule was ac- celerated last month as a result of nation - wide demonstrations backed by the powerful Bud- dhist unified church. The committee's task is to prepare a first draft of a law to govern the general elections. It would provide for election of a constituent assembly with shipped to the U.S. sold for an average $615 less than the same models in this country. CONCEDED POINT He and other Conservatives said Industry Minister Drury's contention that the agreement had created 10,500 new jobs in the industry might be correct. But these were assembly line jobs, calling for unskilled work- ers, they claimed. Wallace Nesbitt (PC--Oxford) said the machine tool industries that produce auto parts and employ highly skilled workers are being disabled. Auto manufacturers were im- porting parts from the U.S. and having them assembled in Can- da. Opposition MPs also said the 11-per-cent federal sales tax on production machinery posed a severe handicap for Canadian parts manufacturers trying to sell in the U.S. "Canada is one of the few countries in the world that has been so cleverly able to dis- criminate against its own indus- try," said Reid Scott (NDP-- Toronto Danforth) had to get most of their infor- mation-on the plan from hear- ings in Washington WON'T REJECT PACT Like other opposition MPs, Mr. Scott indicated approval would be coming. He suggested Mr. Drury prould "have to com- mit suicide" if the Commons re- jected the agreement. He added though that it "con- firms, once and for all, the complete domination of our automotive industry by U.S, subsidiaries." The pact was one-sided in favor of Canada but it was de- | pendent on the good will of U.S. }auto industries. "This is the first time to my knowledge where a Canadian government policy is subject to the whims of American private business." SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE OLD TIME and MODERN Dance to Mr. Scott said Canadian us| j Auto Pact Stirs Up Pointed Questions The agreement was a disturb- ing integration of Canadian fa- cilities with those of the U.S. It made Canada highly vulner- able to U.S. decisions. Mr. Scott and Mr. Nesbitt both found disturbing gossip about extension of the same type of agreement to other in- dustrial areas. SEES HARM "To extend this would con- tinue the integration of Canada with the U.S. and, just as im- portant, it would create great harm for Canadian firms oper- ating in an industry which is not U.S. owned because they would be operating at a fantas- tic disadvantage," Mr. Scott said. If auto companies weren't prepared to lower prices, the OEM Rt Be eB Gla RSET government should reduce the tariff individual Canadians pay, he said. Then a Canadian could go to the U.S., buy a car and have a good weekend on the money he saved. "This would be the quickest and most effective way to force these autocratic companies into' giving greater consideration to the Canadian consumer." The opposition didn't question. Mr. Drury's contention that the agreement is one of the most important trade arrangements ever made by Canada. The industry minister said it has resulted in expansion, or plans to expand, for 136 plants and announcement of 69 new ones. It had brought about a 94-per- cent jump in the export of automotive products and it had meant substantially increased business for parts manufactur- rs. The auto industry now em- ploys 77,000 in Canada. WELD OVER! 3rd BIG WEEK JAMES BOND pp Fact Td From Young Couples A-Courtin' To Anniversary rants Cavortin'.

His testimony was good enough for Magistrate R. E. Inglis, who dismissed a charge against Roy Buffet of driving through a red light. Bond was a p ger i Buffet's car at the time.
