But some critics claimed the plan falls short of needs. The plan, unfolded in the Com- mons Thursday by the Libera! government orders the passing out of the Nova Scotia island's struggling coal industry. Pro- motion of new industry would take up the slack. A bill incorporating the far- reaching proposal was given first reading, after vigorous sniping by opposition MPs. It will be debated again later in the session. Core of the plan is a govern- ment - owned corporation that will buy out or expropriate money - losing Cape Breton mines. With a $25,000,000 fed- eral grant, the operations will be re-organized and modernized to provide continued employ- ment until the phase-out, pos- sibly over the next 15 years. Meanwhile the agency, with more public money, would promote the development of new industry to replace the dis- appearing mines. The idea is to provide differ- ent employment for the bulk of the 6,500 mining industry work- ers. Others would be retired early on pension in the shakeup. Pensions to retired coal em- ployees would continue. There were no opposition ob- jections to the plan's basic prin- ciple. But important details were criticized. New Democrats claimed the plan did not go far enough. Leader T. C. Douglas said the Cape Breton steel industry also should be placed under the cor- poration's jurisdiction. Robert Muir (PC--Cape Breton North and Victoria) made a similar plea. Mr. Douglas said that if the government did not act now, in years new legislation would be needed to deal with the Domin- ion Steel and Coal Corp.'s Cape Breton steel operations or they would fold. Statistics Show Auto Pact Continues To Boost Trade, OTTAWA (CP) -- The U.S.- Canada automotive agreement continues to drive trade higher in both directions, and to Can- ada's advantage, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reported Thursday. Analysing balance - of - pay- ments figures for the first quar- ter of 1967, DBS credited sales of motor vehicles and automo- tive equipment with more than 40 per cent of the increases in both Canada's exports and her imports. The bureau did not give total figures for this trade. But it estimated the traditional deficit for automotive products was narrowed by more than $35,- 000,000 from the first quarter of 1966. All current transactions in goods and services with all countries abroad led to a first- quarter deficit of $340,000,000. This was down $65,000,000 or 16 per cent from the compar- able $405,000,000 in the first quarter of 1966. It is about standard for pre- vious first-quarter deficits dur- ing the 1960s. HEAVY DEMAND The first three months of 1966 were unusual in many respects because of the boom conditions at the time. An unsustainable level of demand resulted in heavy imports and led to gov- ernment restrictions on con- sumer and business spending during later quarters. DBS reported total receipts from sale of current goods and services abroad of $3,202,000,000 in the first quarter of 1967, up 16 per cent or $451,000,000 from 1966. Total payments in the same category rose 12 per cent or $36,000,000 to $3,542,000,000. To meet the $340,000,000 cur- rent-account deficit, Canada at- tracted a net $327,000,000 in for- eign capital and its official re- serves of gold and U.S. dollars declined slightly. After a $1,000,000 deficit on merchandise trade in first-quar- ter 1966, Canada moved to a $77,000,000 balance this year, with its improved sales picture in the U.S. and United Kingdom more than offsetting a small de- cline in the current surplus with other countries. DEFICIT WIDENED The over-all deficit on current non - merchandise transactions widened slightly to $417,000,000 from $404,000,000. Total merchandise exports, previously reported, increased 18 per cent or $401,000,000 to $2,613,000,000, highest total for a first quarter. Imports increased by $323,000,000 or more than 14 per cent to $2,536,000,000, also a record. DBS warned that late-arriving data may result in a signifi- cantly smaller surplus on mer- chandise trade for 1966 than re: ported earlier. A. total of $60,000,000, largely automotive products exported to Latin American markets, has been uncovered. An even bigger item is a lag in receipt of import documents from a major port. The put was not named. Commodities besides automo- tive products exported in greater quantities this year have been fish products, vege- tables, non - ferrous metals, crude petroleum, lumber, wood pulp, newsprint, agricul- tural machinery, communira- tion equipment, aircraft parts and fertilizers. Declines from 1966 have oc- curred in sales of meat, flour and iron ore. Among imports, increased purchases have been recorded for textiles, machinery, equip, ment, aircraft and many con- sumer goods. Canada's deficit on non-mer- chandise transactions--the "in- visibles'--widened by $13,000,- 000 to $417,000,000. Within this category Canada spent more on aid programs and more Canadians were trav- elling abroad. Net payments of interest and dividends /@étlined frationally to $189,000,000 from $193,000,000. Canada's current-account def- icit with the U.S. declined to $557,000,000 from $606,000,000, entirely because the import bal- ance dropped by $57,000,000 or 20 per cent to $235,000,000. Exports for the three-month period were up 20 per cent at $1,659,000,000, imports up 15 per cent at $1,894,000,000. Among capital movements, long-term inflows fell to $266,- 000,000 from the unusual level of $449,000,000 = year earlier. UAW Borrows GM Proposals TORONTO (CP)--Walter Reu- ther, president of the United Auto Workers, says most of the contract proposals the union has made over the years have been borrowed from General Motors. Mr. Reuther said Thursday night at a celebrating marking the UAW's 30th year in Canada that everything proposed by the union--from pensions to guaran- teed annual income--were part of GM's executive benefits. Before members of the union's international executive and 800 top officers of Canadian locals, Mr. Reuther made it clear that this year the automo- bile companies will be expected to come up with one of their best settlements ever. He said that for 30 years, General Motors had said no to every union proposition, but fi- nally had wound up by agree- ing. "Before the final chapter is written in this year's bargain- ing, General Motors will say 'yes' on the question of wage parity." For its new-industry work, the Cape Breton Coal Development Corp., as it is called, will get an initial $20,000,000 federal grant. The Nova Scotia govern- ment will add another $10,000,- 000. Historic subsidies to the coal industry will be withdrawn and handed over to the corporation. The first-year total will- be about $25,000,000. The govern- ment hopes for subsidy savings as the industry is rationalized and later phased out. Six Dosco subsidiaries will eventually pass into the hands of the corporation. They are Do- minion Coal Co., Nova Scotia Steel and Coal, Dominion Roll- ing Stock, Sydney and Louis- bourg Railway Co., Scotia Roll- ing Stock Co., and the Cumber- land Railway. N.S. WILL RUN MINES The Nova Scotia government will assume responsibility for independent coal mines all over the province. Corporation head- quarters will be in Sydney, N.S. Health Minister MacEachen, Nova Scotia's cabinet represent- ative, said without federal inter- vention, the Cape Breton econ- omy would eventually die when the mines did. The intervention, worked out with the Conservative Nova Sco- tia government, was. a bi-parti- san approach to a longstanding problem, he said. Resources Minister Pepin, pi- loting the bill through Parlia- ment, estimated coal subsidies would total $405,000,000 in the next 15 years at present rates. Mr. Pepin said the legislation was based on the report of Montreal consultant Dr. J. R. Donald, who last year com- pleted a special study of the is- land's problems. Some MPs thought the coal = had a lot of life still in t. Donald MacInnis (PC--Cape Breton South) said there is in- creasing demand for coal to pro- duce steam. QUESTION VALUE Other questioned the propriety of paying good money to Dosco for mine assets of questionable value. It would have to close out anyway without government financial props. H. A. Olson (SC -- Medicine Hat) said the market value of the mines would be nil except perhaps for salvage. His party questioned the use of federal money to "ball out' Dosco shareholders. Dosco said it wanted to pull out of coal altogether in 1965 and offered to sell to the gov- ernment. Sale negotiations are under way. Dosco is said to want $5,000,000 for what is left. The firm owes the federal gov- ernment that much on a de- faulted loan. The federal government, after consultation with Nova Scotia, will name a board chairman and a president of the corpor- ation for seven - year terms. Three of the five directors will be named by the federal gov- ernment, and the other two by Nova Scotia. Directors are in for five years. PARLIAMENT AT-A-GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS THURSDAY, June 15, 1967 Mines Minister. Pepin opened debate on a bill set- ting up a Crown corporation to buy Cape Breton's coal industry and close it down over a 15-year period. He said the corporation, which would also encourage new industry, would have fed- eral - Nova Scotia financial backing of nearly $100,000,000. Conservative Donald Mac- Innis said the Dosco coal mines should be expropriated unless the company agrees to invest funds from their sale in Cape Breton. NDP member David Lewis said the company should pay the government for taking over its headache. Prime Minister Pearson Said he feels Canada might as well agree to a Soviet call for an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly on the Middle East situation. Health Minister MacEachen issued a statement criticizing a tobacco executive for saying there was no definite proof that cigarette smoking causes cancer. FRIDAY, June 16 The Commons meets at. 11 a.m. to study estimates of the registrar - general's depart- ment. The Senate stands ad- journed until June 27. Almost Eighty, -- Works Every Day TORONTO (CP) -- Fred Wright was on the job bright and early Thursday despite it being his 77th birthday. Fred's job is anywhere in Metropolitan Toronto--and he covers most of his territory on foot. His birthday mileage was a hike of. slightly more than 10 miles selling cutlery, tableware, plastic and chrome mouldings and roofing materials as a ma- nufacturing agent. He has been at the job since he retired from the building business 11 years ago. Mr. Wright says his health still is good although his legs bother him sometimes. SIX-FOOTER The fact that he does not drink or smoke has nothing to do with the strapping _ six- footer's health and longevity, he says. That's due to his walking habits and heredity. "My father was a builder and he worked until he died at 89." For Study Of By RONALD LEBEL OTTAWA (CP)--Worried by growing agitation for the aboli- tion or reform of the Senate, more and more senators are ad- vocating a new look at their venerable institution. Pressure is mounting for the creation of a special Senate committee to study ways of giv- ing the upper house a larger, more influential role in the gov- ernment. "We must make changes or someone else will make ones that we will not like very much," Senator Allister Grosart (PC--Ontario) warned his col- leagues this week. The question was urgent be- cause of constitutional studies by the justice department and several provinces and forthcom- ing conferences. Senator C. W. Carter (L-- Newfoundland) shattered tradi- tion with a blunt maiden speech criticizing the government for letting the Senate become a sec- ond-class chamber subject to public insult.
