Fhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Page 4 Monday, July 27, 1959 Tough Trade Sessions For Canada Imagine a set of weighing scales, in one pan Canadian grain exports to Ja- pan worth $78 million, in the other, Japanese textile sales here valued at $20 million. In some of the toughest trade bargaining between the two coun- tries in recent years, Japan has bluntly told Canada any move tc restrict Ja- panese textile exports will be met by tariff action against Canadian wheat, flour, flaxseed, barley and rapeseed. Reliable sources say that Japanese Ambassador Toru Hagiwara has come municated this to Finance Minister Donald Fleming at recent negotiations here. Richard Gwyn, Oshawa Times correspondent in Ottawa, reports: If this issue comes to a breaking point, it will be one of the toughest trade and political decisions this coun- try has had to face, Currently the tex- tile industry, spread mostly across sou- thern Ontario and eastern Quebec is in a bad way. Mills have closed down and employment, often the only one in smaller towns, has been drastically re- duced. On the other hand, grain growers on the prairies also have difficulties. The demand for subsidies in the form of deficiency payments grows stronger. The export target of 300 million bush- els, just topped last year, is. almost cer- tain to fall short, On political lines, it is a straight East-West battle, On economic lines, and industry which is producing more than Canadian and world markets can absorb, squares off against an industry unable to compete on the Canadian market under current conditions of for- eign competition Background to the issue involves some very tricky and slick manoeuvring between the trade experts of both coun- Defeat For K A person in Mr. Khrushchev's posi- tion must always act from a multipli- city of motives, the Christian Science Monitor observes. But one central ex- planation for his change of "holiday" plans, which had called for a trip through Scandinavia with his wife and daughters during three weeks of Aug- ust, nevertheless can be deduced with- out having to unwrap the riddle of Soviet mentality. Only a knowledge of Scandinavian attitudes is necessary, the Monitor thinks, That knowledge tells us that the time has not yet come, if it ever will, when a Khrushchev visit will be timely for purposes of cold-war strat- egy. To be worthwhile for Moscow such a visit must hold some prospect of (1) dividing the three committed Scandi- navian countries from their Western allies; (2) dividing the three commit- ted from the uncommitted two; (3) di- viding the peoples within the commit- ted and uncommitted countries. There is so much independence of thought in Scandinavia that these pos- sibilities must always seem greater to outsiders than they really are. Both among and within each of the five the outspokenness of political and social opinion keeps disagreements sharply visible, But in this paradox of unity-in- disunity Mr, Khrushchev could find, .if he only knew how to look for them, the very bonds that he cannot break in Scandinavia And Japan Some two months ago, the Japanese government suspended exports of a wide range of textiles, mostly of spun ray- on. This was done in the face of some strong and skilful bargaining by Fin- ance Minister Fleming. That suspension lapsed July 18 but has been continued to th- end of the month. In the meantime, the Japanese, who have hired top Canadian counsel lors, have gone back to Mr. Fleming with stiffer demands. Undoubtedly, the Ja- panese hold some trump cards in their hand. The most powerful is the import- ance of our grain exports, Japan is ours second largest ~ustomer (behind Brit ain) and almost our only one which is growing. Grain sales alone are more than double al' our other exports to Japan from iron ore and wood pulp to machinery. Ace in Mr. Fleming's sleeve .is that the Canadian market is also vital for Japanese textile manufacturers, The U.S. has slapped quotas on Japanese clothing imports and under-priced Communist Chinese competition is threatening traditional Japanese mar=- kets in Asia, In t'.e meanwhile, in order to improve their bargaining position, the Japanese have set about some fence-mending, Currently they have voluntary export quotas, over which the government has no control, but are regulated by an As- sociation of the industries concerned, on some primary textiles such as cot- tons. The Canadian government has the solution in its hands--Bill C-51 which empowers it to place prohibitive tariffs on imports which threatening the existence of Canadian industry, but it is loth to use this weapon for fear of international repercussions are hrushchev These are the bonds of freedom, So the Soviet notes to Norway, Swe- den, and Denmark complain of the government's permitting the politicians and press to make anti-Soviet state- ments at this time, whereas the word permit in this context is not tb be found in those peoples' dictionaries. Some other items for Mr, Khrush- chev"s consideration: neutral Sweden spends a bigger proportion of its nation- al budget on defense than unneutral Denmark, and probably has a less po- tent pacifist element in the population than unneutral Norway. Also, the moral wrestlings which had to precede commitment of Nor- way, Denmark, Iceland to NATO left such deep marks in the thinking of all Scandinavian peoples that a few years of alternate Soviet smiles and frowns (some frowns as recent a+ last Friday) are not going to erase the effects of the Communist coup in Czechoslovakia, or the butchery in Budapest. Other reasons have been adduced for the Khrushchev retreat: Emergence of a new common market, the "outer sev- en," including Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, which will have a Western orientation; the Nixon visit to Russia fro which Mr. Khrushchev wished to be Scandinavian preparations for anti-Soviet demonstrations: a Sov- jet desire to send cold-war chills up and down the spines of Scandinavians who have opposed recent Khrushchev proposals for making the Baltic a zone free of all but Soviet nuclear pressures, on hand Medical Information The British and Canadian Medical Associations have been meeting in Edin- burgh and the 1,000 delegates are more or less in agreement that much goog can come from telling patients more about their ills and the methods of treatment.

Magazines, advertising, the radio and television are all devoting space and time to matters of health and with the various health insurance and hospitali- zation plans are helping to cause great- er awareness of good health. Not so long ago an operation for the removal of a cataract from the eye of a Michigan woman. was televised and carefully ex- plained by surgeons and eye doctors throughout the operation. Prior to that a heart operation was successfully per- formed before the eyes of television watchers, These presentations undoubt- edly cleared away many of the pet phobias people have had about such operations The presentation of factual informa- tion from so many sources is, of course, keeping doctors busy but those same doctors are getting a greater average of their patients up and around, than was once the case when there was not so much frank explanation of ills, Doc- tors, at one time, were almost Sphinx- like when it came to telling their pat- jents what was wrong with them. And patients now who will listen to their doctors and follow advice are being cured more quickly with the modern medicines, operative techniques and therapies There are still many diseases which are defying treatment but it can be said that the amount of research that is be- ing conducted is reducing the number of deaths from such illness.

REPORT LAUNCHING TE THE SIGN OF REAL PROGRESS OTTAWA REPORT Backbenchers Get Chance To Develop Patrick Nicholson is on va. cation, His guest columnist to- day is Dr. P. B, Rynard, Con- servative MP for Simcoe East, When the people of Canada, in the summer of 19568, gave the Conservative government one of the greatest votes of confidence in Canadian history, it posed an unusual problem for Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker, When the first session of the 24th Parliament was called, a total of 112 Conservative mem- bers converged on Ottawa. Many were young. All were enthusiastic and all were imbued with the will to do. something for Canada and for their constituents. But many also were inexperi- enced and experience, in Ottawa and in government, comes only through work. Now it is true that, if a session of parliament is not to be unreasonably prolonged, only a limited number of mem- bers may speak in any one de- bate. There are only a limited pumber of key positions. If the practice of past govern. ments had been followed, many of these new, young members would have found little opportunity to share in national business. They would have had little opportunity to gain experience, Many would have become back benchers in every sense of tho word---their voices rarely heard---their pres- ence rarely felt, except when a vote was called in the House of Commons. UTILIZE TALENTS The government and the prime minister decided that past pro-. cedures were & waste of talent and an encouragement to vegeta- tion. Ways to use these talents and to give all members a use- ful'and constructive job to do were sought It was decided, 'therefore, to make much wider use of com- mittees. A total of 18 were set up and they were given a wide field of activities. One, ior in- stance, was to examine past gov- ernment spending, to learn if the past had a lesson for the future in economic budgeting. Another was to examine the proposed spending of certain gov- ernment departments to see if a saving could be made of the tax- payers' dollar Another looked at possible ways to develop Canada's natural re- sources. The operation of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was carefully examined. There was a committee on rail. ways and canals at which much light was shed on the operational problems of Canada's two great railway systems Never in recent history have the committee rooms in the House of Parliament been so busy, Never, in recent history, has such a careful look heen taken at gov- ernment spending and govern. ment activities VALUE PROVED I am convinced that the ex perience of this session has proved the value of these com- mittees, The scrutiny of proposed expenditures i8 much more care- ful than could he given in the House of Commons itself. The analvsis of procedures and plan. ning is thorough, And an important aspect is that much of the work of com- mittees is in an atmosphere much less political than that on the floor of the House of Commons, Time has been saved in the House itself because the need for debate on certain proposed legis- lation and certain expenditures is not so great after the careful ex- amination in the commitiees. Many constructive suggestions have been placed before Parlia- ment for its consideration in com- mittee reports And one additional great ad- vantage has been the opportuni- ties the committees have given new and younger members to de- velop and to gain parliamentary experience. They have worked. They have known that they were sharing in a useful and con- structive job. 'hey have had an opportunity to express themselves and their ideas on affairs of na- tional importance, Already, out of these commit. tees, have come a number of comparatively new members who have demonstrated great ability and qualities that marks them as potential leaders If the committees have done nothing else--and they have done much more -- the chance they have given new members to grow and develop has more than justi fled Mr. Diefenbaker's and the government's decision FOR BETTER HEALTH Laboratory Animals Cured of Leukemia HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. LEUKEMIA has been cured-- in laboratory animals. Leukemia is a blood disease in which the production of white cells gets out of control. It is generally accepted as a form of cancer, And experiments, thus far, in- dicate that this disease may provide the first major break- through in our battle to conquer cancer HALTED DISEASE Researchers have been able to halt transplanted leukemia in mice by giving them drugs or serums shortly after they were inoculated with the death-dealing cells Massive X-ray cured spontaneous leukemia in animals. Ordinarily, the high dosage necessary to accomplish this would be deadly in itself. INJECT BONE MARROW However, the scientists over came this obstacle by injecting bone marrow from other mice or even rats. In some cases the animals treated in this manner developed a strange allergy as long as a year after the marrow was trans, . doses have The primary problem now fis how to save these mice from dying of shock brought on by the transplanting of the mar row. TRIED ON HUMANS These procedures have been tried experimentally on humans stricken with leukemia in various parts of the country. Understandably, they have been tried cautiously, Probably there was too little radiation used and no doubt too little of the precious bone marrow was used FROM DONORS The needed marrow just isn't readily available, It must be ob- tained from donors, usually rela- tives and other cancer patients. According to the American Cancer Society, it is debatable whether this approach has length ened the life of a leukemic patie ent by as little as a single day. However, some scientists--just a few--believe they have noticed transient improvement in some of the cases THERE IS HOPE uJst the slightest improve ment means there is hope Along somewhat similar lines, a vaccine has proved effective BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Capt, Jack Young, Canadian- born movie star, who had por- trayed the role of U.S. president F.

Smith was master of ceremonies for the occasion, Mayor Gordon Davis welcomed the ship on behalf of the citizens. More than 1458 children were registered at the board of educa- tion supervised playgrounds. Lieut, Commander James Pratt, commanding officer of HMCS Oshawa, was presented with the charter and officially made an honorary member of the Oshawa Rotary Club. Masons were at work laying the brick for the walls of the new bowling alley at the corner of Athol and Celina streets.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Rt. Hon, Reginald Maudling, Paymaster-General in the British Government, who has been in charge of Britain's part in the negotiations for a Euro. pean Free Trade area, is a per. sistent and persevering individual, Folled in his efforts to persuade the six countries forming the Common Market to extend it to include 11 other European na- tions in a free trade unit, he is now up to the neck in a plan to form another trade group with six other countries outside the Common Market. For two wecks, experts repre. senting the governments of seven European countries have been hammering out a draft treaty for freer trade between them, The seven countries involved are the United Kingdom, Austria, Den. mark, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland, These countries do not provide the rich markets of the six in the Common Market, but they do represent possibilities of enlargement of trade by the abolition of tariffs and quotas, The draft treaty is now ready for submission to the seven govern. ments involved, and there should be no difficulties in the way of ifs ratification. The plan, which {is definitely Mr, Maudling's baby, can be regarded as Britain's an- swer to the refusal of the Com. mon market areas to extend the scope of the Treaty of Rome, ON EQUAL TERMS The treaty will put these seven countries on more equal trading terms with the six in the Com. mon Market. The first step will be the reduction of industrial tariffs by 20 per cent on July 1 1960. This will be followed grad. ually by complete abolition of all tariffs between these countries Vii the nex 10 years, In these rovisions, it is a parallel ment to that binding ae ree. Common Market countries, One interesting feature of the scheme, however, is that it pros vides for a special agreement on agricultural products, which is of great concern to Denmark, This will be worked out after bilateral negotiations between interested countries, What Mr. Maudling hopes for, in spear - heading this treaty be- pean Pree Trade area which has been his pet scheme for the last two years, and ln which he was foiled by General de Gaulle's re- fusal to have anything to do with it. On this point, in a speech in The Hague, Mr. Maudling said: "Just as we have always sald that we welcome the fact that, by the Treaty of Rome, the Six will strengthen themselves, so we ex- tween what have become known Pect the Six to welcome any sim- as the "Outer Seven" is that it ilar success that we of the Seven will eventually lead to the Euro- may have on our part, HOR RS LL LER, GO WEST!
