- AEE 3 tT She Oshawa Sunes . published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Thursdoy, June 4, 1959 Poge 4 Attraction Of Capital; Protection Of Wealth + The government walks a tightrope in gts policies for developing Canada's 'massive reserves of natural gas and oil. On the one hand is the need for attract- 4ing large amounts of capital so that the "flevelopment has sufficient financial 'muscle. On the other is the danger of "allowing control of too large a share of "Canada's natural resources to pass into \foreign hands, * In his speech introducing the bill to sset up a national energy board, Trade "Minister Churchill said: "We recognize ithe need for and welcome capital, whe- "ther domestic or foreign, for investment «in the energy and associated industries, "and we believe that such capital, wisely "invested, should enjoy a fair and reason- able rate of return." It is Mr. Church- ills job to help promote an active Cana- dian business life. Then Northern Affairs Minister Ham- ilton told' the Commons mines, forests "and waters committee: "Any person "who knows public opinion in Canada 'aver the last 10 or 15 years will know . how strongly the Cahadian people feel " ahout the matter of Canadian participa- ! tion in those resources." It is Mr. Ham- "ilton's job to ensure the wisest possible * use of our mineral resources, + Mr Hamilton gave these figures to . the committee: Canadian firms hold . 55.54 per cent of all exploratory per- Britain has taken another stride to- wards freeing its trade from dollar re- strictions. A long list of goods formerly restricted can now be bought by British importers from the dollar area. This in- crease in freedom has been a major ob- jective of Canadian policy and pressure since the end of the war, the Montreal Star points out, and it is now up to Canadian salesmen to do the job in the new market--they can fish or cut bait The Star continues: For some years now, Canadian bank- ers and industrialists have been warn- ing their fellow-countrymen that we are in danger of becoming a high-cost economy, Satisfaction with conditions : jn the home market have made many responsible people careless of the fact that the market is relatively small and that they must sell abroad if they want $0 expand their sales. In addition, they had the excuse that many potential markets were closed because of cur- rency restrictions, That excuse, so far as the United Kingdom is concerned, is no longer valid. If quality and price are mits in the northern mainland and Are- tic islands; U.S, corporations or Cana- dian subsidiaries of U.S, companies hold 42.56 per cent; and British corporations hold 1.9 per cent. The Canadian Petro- leum Association conducted a survey that showed less than four out of every 100 persons employed by oil and gas companies in Canada were Americans, Such figures can be deceptive, how- ever, If the four Americans are the bosses of the 96 Canadians in oil or gas businesses, it makes a big difference, just as it does when one exploratory permit is held by an individual without much money and another by a corpora- tion with millions to spend. In fact, one permit in the Arctic is held by an Ot- tewa taxi driver. Ther is in the energy board bill a clause that seems innocent enough. It reads: "Have regard to the financial responsibility and financial structure of the bidding companies and take into account the extent to which Canadian capital will hae an opportunity of par- ticipating." This is, in fact, a key clause. It means that the government or the energy board, when it comeg to licen- sing, isn't bound to accept the highest bid but can give approval to a company which takes special pains to allow Cana dian participation in voting stock, man- agement, engineering and construction. 'Britain's Trade Moves right, the British will buy from us as readily as from anyone else. This is simply the expression of a Canadian reaction. The implications of the British move are global. Canada is not the only country that will be work- ing for a slice of the new market. Ev- erybody will, In addition, the move provides further evidence of British de- termination to expand wor.d trade. It is significant that, in the same week that dollar restrictions were removed, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union signed a five-year trade agree- ment. One point not mentioned by the Star is the effect of the British move on Canadian trade policy. The British are opening the doors to Canadian goods. But by doing so, they are making it dif- ficult for Canada not to keep its own doors wide open to British goods--and there are many categories in which some Canadian manufacturers would like more vrotection against British competition. The British are saying: "Okay, sell here if you can." It's a chal- lenge to Canada to say the same thing. Pitfalls Of Summer s the good old summertime only if oy pv, of summer can be avoided. This is the time of year when men leap out to tackle the rockery -- and strain their muscles, drive hoes through their feet and squash their thumbs with hammers. Their wives pop into their bathing suits, flatten themselves out in a nice sunny spot and quickly get par- boiled. The junior members of the fam- ily trot off through the woods, get them- selves covered with poison ivy and then tumble into rivers, ponds and lakes. None of these things need happen, of course, That they do can be attributed to a sort of summer madness. Contrary to widely-held opinion, sun- burn is not a necessary preliminary to a smooth and glorious suntan. The person who exposes himself to the sun for just a few minutes and gradually lengthens the time of exposure acquires a tan with- out a burn. Poison ivy is easy to identify, with its groups of dark green shiny leaves set in clusters of three, but it is irritating and persistent. Clothes can be contaminated by it, and unless the clothes are cleaned the oil from the ivy will cling to them long after the summer is gone. Every summer the toll of drowning victims rises steadily as the weather gets warmer, And people who know how to swim contribute substantially to the to- ~ The Oshavoa Times 7. L.

When I recently visited Britain to study this trade possibility, 1 found that Britain is indeed booming, as never before in liv- ing memory. Record industrial output, soaring exports and min- imum unemployment are the sta- tistical evidence of her prosper- ity. Visible evidence is on all sides: attractive "New Towns" sprout. ing amid pleasant green farm- lands; broad new traffic through- ways being carved across old res- idential suburbs: the highwavs jammed with shiny new litte cars; modern office blocks tower- ing above the historic little Wren churches and oflier ancient build- ings in the city of London; shops full of goods, often of a slightly higher quality and generally at lower prices. than in Canada. There are plenty of Old World antiques for sale, but--and this will interest our manufacturers ~very, very few New World elec trical household gadgets. THOSE TERRIBLE TAXES To Canadian eyes, fhe worst feature about modern Britain is the truly crushing degree of taxa- tion, necessary.to pay for two World Wars and for the post-war welfare state. The tax on pers. onal incomes soars above 55 per cent at the $8,000 income level, and rises to the confiscatory scale of 88.75 per cent at $18,000. On top of that comes the purch- ase tax which, despite big reduc- tions in the recent budget, is still as high as 50 per cent on many items, including . the popular, small cars which can hardly be classed as luxuries. A successful bread - winner in the top tax bracket has to earn $15,067 to be able to buy a typ- ical little English car off the top of his income. Of that huge sum, $13,939 is taken from him in in- come tax and purchase tax, while the remaining $1.128 pays for the car itself. At the more usual end of the wage scale, a typical semi-skilled worker in one of the New Towns earns $44 a week. This seems low to us, but his modern state\owned three-bedroom house costs==m as little -- $5.45 a week "4pnt, RATOR SALE and Rebuilt n modern refrig- she turned a light switch while her fos se have been re- was touching the television set, a %ig0od as new There ilar fatality occurred in Ontario.

Under Mr. Harold Maémillan's Conservative Government, the average British family today en- joys a standard of living far higher than that advocated before the war by the Socialist party. Ample supplies of many of the good things of life are now avail able to a wider range of the popu- lation than ever before. Stranaely enough, it is only in the demo- cratic. New World that the sue- cessfull businessman can now keep a reasonable part of his high earnings for himself, while in that Conservative Old Country the tax - gatherer grasps the greater part. Thus Britain's eco- nomic revolution has been achieved at the cost of eliminat- ing great inherited wealth, and making impossible the creation of Bow rie out of earned in- MARKET FOR CANADA That newly-prosperous Britain, with its new mass market for goods other than life's necessit- ies and with its growing supply of dollars, now offers a wide-open market to many Canadian -ex- ports, although some of our tra- ditional surpluses are now priced too high to compete in Britain. That market has been opened by Britain's recent elimination of all restrictions on the purchase of consumer goods in many categor- ies from the dollar area. This aiop. correctly foreseen several weeks ago by this column; was announced in Parliament here last week by Trade Minister Gor- don Churchill, Not yet announced, but also of interest to our export- ers, will be the similar relaxation of trade barriers against Cana- dian goods by the British West Indies. A direct result of the Common- wealth Economic Conference con vened by Prime Minister Diefen- baker in Montreal last fall, this new British market for our con- sumer goods offers our manufac turers their greatest export op portunity in twenty years. At the same time, it is an invitation to Canada to swell further the di versification of our trade by step ping up our purchases from Brit. ain; for our much lower imports from Britain must inevitably limit that country's willingness and ability to buy from us.

Are we void of common sense altogether to be coerced into a "no" or "yes vote by a few? Also by the threat that certain . buses will be discon- tinued? Elsewhere in the Saturday is- sue is explained the $37,000, less so much for new buses, operating costs, etc, Don't fool the taxpay- ers by stating large sums of money to be a subsidy, which is not $0, - Night service, Sunday service, holiday schedules do not run now. How can they be dis. continued in the future? The Sunday and holiday serv- ices are 'disgraceful in a city this size. The employees are paid for holidays. People without cars are the bus public and their needs should be studied. People east of the town and east of the boulevard, a long way, have no buses Sundays or holidays. It seems they all run to the lake, Another point: imagine eom- paring Oshawa with Halifax, Quebec City, Toronto and Winni- peg, and the size of those cities to Oshawa. There is no com. parison as regards buses. The city cotneil is forcing no deal on anybody. Everyone has a right to his own opinions. Em. ployees cannot be that and em- ployers as well oné thing or the other, Alderman Thomas does not like buses or their work- ings. All she can talk about is taxes. A growing city fnust have taxes spent on it, for the benefit of all in it --. roads, sthools, sewers, bus service, etc, The younger generation -gets plenty for nothing, baby bonuses, holi- day money, unemployment in- surance, etc. The older people paid taxes too, when Oshawa was in its younger days, and taxes then helped the city to be what it is today. It is time the oldef ones benefitted in one way, a decent bus service Oshawa EGG HEAD Dear -Siv On June 8 we are taking a vote on whether to let a Mr. Dickion from Windsor take over the Osh- awa buses or not, In 'my opinion, which I. will back up with a "no": vote on the question, the buses should be Eldest Son Of PC Leader Dies In Fall OTTAWA (CP) James P.
