The Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Mewspapers Limited, B6 King 5, E., Oshawg, Ont, Page 6 Wednesday, October 19, 1960 Oil Industry Doesn't Need Help: Imperial It is refreshing these days to hesr a company declare thet its eres of industry does not need government assistance or protection, That is whet Imperial Oil says in its vigorous ergy ment against the proposal to put Caner dien oil into the Montresl market by means of a pipeline, Far from being a distressed industry in need of public support, Imperial asserts, the Canadian petroleum industry is growing more rapidly than the gen. eral economy end most other Canadian industries, Government action favoring the Montres! pipeline promoters would require extensive assistance and protec tion for a vigorously growing industry and "would appear to set a dangerous precedent in the direction of a high-cost economy," The statement continues; "There has been a tendency to discuss the Canadian oil industry in terms of #8 somewhat glamorous western crude oil producing segment, In fact, by far the larger proportion of the total invest ment and employment in the industry is concentrated in the refining, marketing and distribution functions, Other fune- tions of the oil business have problems that compare with those faced by the crude producers ~~ but none of these problems justifies the kind of govern~ ment intervention end control contem- plated in the uneconomic Montreal piper line propossl" Imperial is on strong ground, It hes been stated thet a 250,000 berrel-nday market could be geined for western producers in Montreal, but this does not take into sccount that, if erude sources were switched, exchange agrees ments putting Cenadian oil into the US. Puget Bound srea would probably become void and certain "product" ime ports" inte Quebec would have to he increased, 'The net market increase could amount to less than 15,000 barrels a day, There sre more than 200 producing companies in Alberta, but it is doubtful if all of them would share in the in- creased market, Imperial estimates that less than 30 of the companies would get about 95 per cent of any increase, The Borden Commission did not re commend the building of a pipeline to Montreal if western production did not reach 700,000 barrels a day by the end of the year, What it recommended was that the National Energy Board review the situation, including the question of the Montreal market, On Shaky Moral Ground The United States once again has obtained enough support in the UN to block debate on the seating of Come munist China in the Assembly, but it was a hollow victory; the margin of support was narrower, the number of abstentions greater, and all but a couple of the Afro-Asian members voted against the U.8. or abstained, The US, opposes UN membership for Communist China largely on moral grounds, Its position would be much stronger if it did not support on Formosa a regime that is not a whit better than that on the mainland, The Chiang gov» ernment was corrupt and dictatorial when it held power in China, and it has not improved during its exile on Fore moss, There can be no Asian respect for U.S, policy as it supports people like Chiang Kai-8hek and (until he was driven from power) Syngman Rhee, Chiang does not permit any political opposition to develop, He is Formosa's dictator; he runs a one-party governs ment as ruthlessly as his opponents in Peiping. In recent months, for example, Lei Chen, a magazine publisher, or- ganized the first substantial opposition to Chiang's rule on the island, Then re. cently he and two sssociates were hauled before a military tribunal, charged with sedition and given prison terms ranging from five to 12 years, Lei Chen was not permitted to confront and question the principal witness against him, Action of the Chiang government in this affair has drawn sharp criticism from Chinese on the American West Coast and in Southeast Asia, normally friendly to the Nationalists, The Chris. tian Becience Monitor quotes Dr, Hu Shih, former ambassador to the United Btates, as describing Lei as " a patriotic man and certainly anti-Communist," Critics within the ranks of the Kuoms intang, Chiang's erganization, have heen threatened with expulsion, Lel provided the first serious opposition outside the Kuomintang =~ and he has been jailed for sedition, It is clear, then, that Chiang has no use for the democratic processes, that freedom and justice are empty words in Formosa, and that support of his regime on moral grounds is ques tionable, The United States could put a lot of pressure on Chiang to change some of his ways, Unless he does change, the US, will continue to lose support in the UN, Faster Mail Delivery Larger rockets speeding at 10,000 miles an hour from London would de. liver mail to Montreal and Toronto, as well as to New York, as quickly, Letters posted in London would be given "same day delivery" to many parts of Canada, One-day mail delivery between Lon. don, England, Sydney in Australia, and Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver in Canada, Such a service is not outside the re. alms of possibility, according to Post Office experts in England, They claim it will be possible by use of guided rocks ets, Letters would be the chief kind of mail carried in the rockets and they would be placed in nose containers, Medium-range rockets would shoot mail 1,800 miles an hour from Van. couver to Toronto, and Montreal, in a little ever an hour, and vice versa. @he Dshorwa Times Toh WILSON, Publisher and General Manager € GWYN KINSEY, Edie Tha Oshawa Times Va RE Oshawa T (estaclished 1871) and the ithy Gazette Chronicle (established 1843), 1 publaned daily (Sundays and statutary holidays excepted), Members ot Canadian Daily Newspapers Publishers Amociation, The Canadian Press, Audit Bureau ot Cirsvlation and the Ontaria Pravingial Dailies Anes clation.
