A hye Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Saturday, June 10, 1961 Importance Of Capital Cannot Be Exaggerated A question being asked more and more frequently these days is this: Is the incentive for capital to go into busi- ness good enough? The answers may vary, but of one thing we can we sure-- if the answer is no, then the inevitable result is economic stagnation and decay. Some people do not like the word "capitalism", but all it means is the system based on the use of capital, and capital is basically income put by for the future. It is on this stored in- come and its constructive employment that the well-being of our society depends. The alternative to this system is the removal of capital from the indi- vidual to the government, a process which can be successfully accomplished only by the government's taking over all production and fixing the conditions of production from wages to prices. In an address this way, Trevor Moore, vice-president of Imperial Ol, suggested that a much clearer understanding of the role of capital in Canadian economic life is required. He put it this way: "Imagine a situation in which.a Cana- dian government would go to the people on the ground that earnings on capital in this country were too low. This gives us some appreciation of the kind of psychological break-through which our society needs. Surely some such break- through in our thinking of the use of capital is possible of achievement. In deed, the break-through has been effected in countries like Russia and China by totalitarian means, and let me read you a communication we received recently from India: "'We are pleased to inform you that we wish to set up some new industries in India with foreign collaboration. The climate is now good for foreign invest- ments in India, as there is a holiday from taxation for new industrial ventures for five years besides low taxation on royalties, exemptions from tax on salary to foreign technicians for three years and also easy repatriation of profit earned.' " As Mr. Moore says, the investment of capital is the "one vital step towards the achievement of virtually every economic and social goal which we hold dear." Trust And Friendship Speaking recently in his home town of Oshawa, Royal Bank President Earle McLaughlin deplored the "froth" of anti-Americanism which has here and there bubbled to the surface of Cana- dian life. Hostility-towards the U.S. was heard in only a few shrill voices, but during his travels in the United States he was alarmed by the feeling of many Americans that Canada was "ag'in" them. The feeling was reflected in a recent comment in the Denver Post, which said: "President Kennedy's visit to Canada has served to focus attention in "our deteriorating relations with our northern neighbor. If we can't retain the trust and friendship of people with whom we have the most in common, then we are in deep trouble indeed." oy We doubt if the phrase "deteriorating Parations® is correct. There has been a surge of nationalism in Canada; a great /¥ many Canadians -- but not a majority, judging by public opinion surveys -- have been worrying about U.S. control of Canadian industry an resources. On the other side, many Americans have been displaying their traditional inabi- lity to understand how other people can criticize them and still like them; and many others do not understand why Canada does not quietly follow the U.S. lead in such matters as trade em- bargoes against Cuba and China. There are differences of opinion and there are misunderstanding, but as the Sudbury Star says, "Let us hasten to reassure our neighboring contemporary that Canadians have not lost their trust and friendship for the United States. We may not agree with all aspects of American foreign policy and we believe the US. has made some serious dip- lomatic and strategic blunders. But what we may say about the United States in a spirit of criticism is no more than some of the American newspaper editors are saying about their own country, It is because we are such close and friendly neighbors that we feel free to criticize... The warm reception ac- corded by Canadians (official and other- wise) to President and Mrs. Kennedy was a demonstration of the affection that we hold for Americans." For Agricultural Honor A worthy nomination to the Agricul- tural Hall of Fame in the Coliseum at Toronto Exhibition Park has been made by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. The CFA has filed formal application for recognition of the late Charles A. Hayden, a native of Port Hope, sportsman, journalist and agri- cultural organizer. His was a wide-ranging, active life. He played for the Ottawa Roughriders who won the Canadian rugby champion- ship in 1903. He was managing editor of the Calgary Herald, and while in that position was active in horticultural and conservation associations in Alberta and took an active part in the develop- ment of Calgary's Metawa Park. He was prominent in the developments that finally brought into being the Alberta Wheat Pool. In British Columbia, he was editor-manager of the magazine "Country Life" and built it into one of She Oshawa Time T. L. WILSON, Publisher end Generel Menoger €.

Tree Fruits Ltd, in 1939, as the central selling agency for the B.C. fruit industry. It is his role in the formation of the Federation, however, that has undoubt- edly been the main influence in the drawing up of the CFA's formal appli- cation for recognition. While serving as secretary of the British Columbia Fruit Growers' Asso- ciation, and editor of "Country Life", he saw a need for a general farm organization that would more or less co-ordinate the work of different crop groups and local bodies. On his own initiative in 1934 he called the meeting which resulted in the organization of the BC. Chamber of Agriculture. He was its first secretary-treasurer. A year later he was instrumental in bringing about the Western Agricultural Con- ference, but that was only a step towards national organization. That goal was reached the following year, with the founding in Toronto of the Canadian Chamber of Agriculture -- the name was changed later to Canadian Federa- tion of Agriculture. The recognition is fully deserved. Bible Thought I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. --Daniel 2:3. Dreams can be delights, puzzles or nightmares. By himself man can no more save his soul than he can under- stand all his dreams. They that turn many to righteousness (shall shine) as the stars forever and ever. -- Daniel 2:3.

Market PATRICK NICHOLSON LONDON -- Some Canadian farmers, especially those pro- ducing wheat, hogs and cheese, may actually benefit from Brit- ain's expected entry into the free-trade block known as the European Common Market. It is generally expected here that Britain will take this epochal step this year, wisely preferring joint prosperity as a partner in a new greater Europe to isolated depression as an historic ghost. An important change which will follow Brit- ain's move will be a revamping of her entire agricultural policy. Traditionally, the overpopu- lated industrial little island, one- fortieth the size of Canada but with three times the population, has been unable to feed herself. Every adult in Britain remem- bers how in two world wars gal- lant sailors fought desperate battles to bring food to a se- verely rationed population. In 1939, Britain only produced one-third of her own food re- quirements. In each year since 1945, 65,000 acres of farmland have been converted to sub- divisions to house the growing population, and 250,000 farm workers have left the dwindling farmlands in that period. Yet today, Britain manages to pro- duce one half of her food re- quirements. STATE AIDS FARMS This has been made possible by a vigorous agricultural policy backed by subsidies, tariffs and quotas. But a condition of Britain's entry into the market will be an ahandonment of this policy of protection, because the Euro- pean nations who will be Brit- ain's new trading allies insist that their farmers should have free access to the British food market: A storm was raised here last week when Christopher Soames, minister: of agriculture and son- in-law of Sir Winston Churchill, admitted that Britain's entry will result in higher food prices. Colin Clark, director of the Agricultural E c ono mics Re- QUEEN'S PARK Driving Courses For Youngsters By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The Junior Cham- ber of Commerc, with its his- tory of fine work over the years, has a new target. Its promotional efforts in com- ing months will centre on driving education for school chil- dren. One doesn't want to be criti- cal of the chamber. But still there is a call for one hope. This is that its activities will be aimed at instructing the chil- dren outside of school hours. There are those who believe that driving courses should be part of the regular school cur- ricula. But you will find few real edu- cators among them. They know there is hardly time enough now to teach the basic subjects. And highly successful pro- grams in various centres have demonstrated that driving in- struction can quite well be han- dled outside of school hours. DRUG SESSION The select committee on cost of drugs is resuming its hear- ings and this time they should be really newsworthy. Som« of the major drug com- panies will be ing before the committee for the first time. It will be recalled there was some apparent reluctance on the part of manufacturers to come before the commitice. Initially they sent representa- tives from their association. However, Transport Minister Rowntree, chairman of the com- mittee, pointed out that it had the authority tp subpoena wit- nesses. And apparently this was all that was needed. A number of the companies have volunteered that they would like to be heard. GAS SAFETY The Canadian Gas Association has established a new group within its ranks, an accident prevention committee. This laudable step is welcomed here. of course, but also there are reservations. The association is now more than four years old. , And thére are those who feel i might have been a bit more reassuring if it had got around to the most important question of accident prevention before now. Officials here have felt the in- dustry could have been doing more than it has in this field. search Institute at Oxford, has made a detailed forecast of these changes. The average Briton spends 33 f | shillings and sixpence a week on . food. This figure will rise by one shilling, or three per cent, when subsidies are abolished in total. The average Briton's weekly food bill will increase by eight- pence for meats, threepence for bread and cereals, and approxi- mately one penny each for eggs, cheese, sugar and tea, while he will also spend fourpence more on butter and fats, Offsetting these increases will be reduc- tions of fourpence a week for U.K. OPINION Macmillan To Sound Out PM's On Common Market By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Now Somme, to seeking a way out difficulties in the negotiations for Britain to join the European Common Market, it is consid- ered likely that Prime Minister Macmillan will hold consulta. tions with the heads of Com- monwealth governments to test the real strength of their ob- jections to a trade link-up be- tween Britain and Europe. There are two schools of thought on this subject. The Daily Express puts forward the idea that Mr. Macmillan might make a rapid-fire visit to most of the Commonwealth countries vitally concerned, before going ahead with any negotiations. But from other quarters comes the suggestion that the meeting of Commonwealth Finance Min- isters scheduled for September, may be included to take in prime ministers as well, so that there can be a top-level discus- sion of the possible conse- quences were Britain to join the Common Market. LABOR FAVORABLE One factor in influencing Mr. Macmillan in going ahead is that the Labor opposition is in- clined to back the stand Mr. Macmillan took at the London Meeting of the Western Euro- pean Union -- that before ne- gotiations can take place, the Common Market countries must agree to safeguards for British agriculture, Common- wealth trade agreements and other free trade area nations. Laborites, for the most part, are in accord with this, and would support it. The Liberals, of course, would join the Com- mon Market at any price. There has been some sharp division of opinion in Conservative ranks, but Mr. Macmillan spelled out his qualifications to the Treaty of Rome so clearly at the WEU meeting that their objections have largely been met. So, while Mr. Macmillan has given no promise of immediate action by Britain to join the Common Market, he has chart- ed quite plainly the course which would have to be taken to bring that about. In the light of the discussion regarding the Common Market, there is lively interest in the proposals which the British dele- ed and were on sale, there was demand for gation leader, Sir Edgar Cohen, &d placed before the world tariff conference at Geneva, He said that the British government had authorized him to announce that the United Kingdom is pre- pared to make substantial re- ductions, ranging as high as 20 per cent in many cases, in the customs duties on a wide range pf 'industrial goods. These pro- posals are predicted on reci- procal offers coming from oth- er countries, particularly the United States. The six nations of the Euro- pean Economic Community Jove Sreany Sed as a i gle t, a per cen tariff reduction across a whole sector of industrial goods. Eric Wyndham - White, Ex- ecutive Secretary of the Gen- eral Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (Gatt), welcomed the British proposal as opening the way to a very substantial re- duction in industrial tariffs throughout the world. He said: "If it is true that the United States is also going to make a contribution in a similar sense, then it will mark a very sig- nificant advance in the process of reducing tariffs on a world- wide basis." The final result depends on the response of the 36 other countries which are signatories of GATT, countries whose trad- ing value is estimated at 79 per cent of the world's trade. An announcement of some im- portance to Canada has been made by the Board of Trade. It states that restrictions on dollar imports of wine, beer, gin and canned fruits, except ap- ples and citrus fruits, into Brit- ain, will be entirely removed as of August 1. aid be wide open.

The Laborites howled Jeans gr Wy igh ut when were up in a series of House of Com- mons questions, their attacks proved to be a damp squib. Prime Minister Macmillan rightly described them as "a tempest in a teapot", and he and Iain Macleod, colonial sec- retary, quickly disclosed of the attacks by showing that the statements were very sound as expositions of the government's policy on these matters. NOW FOREIGN South Africa House; a mas- sive building at the corner of Trafalgar Square and the Strand, is now a piece of for- eign territory. Formerly the of- fice of the High Commissioner for the Union of South Africa, it became overnight the Embas- sy of the Republic of South Af- rica. The old sign "Union of South Africa" has come down, and stonemasons are carving out the new one "Republic of South Africa". Dr. ard Mul- ler, the High Commissioner, is now ambassd This will provide a spl opportunity for Canadian can- ners of fruits of all kinds ex- cept apples, to expand the mar- ket for these in the United Kingdom. At a recent food ex- hibition in London, at which these products were display- milk, twopence for potatoes and one penny for other vegetables. FARMING TO CHANGE Britain also is likely to be- come a land where farmers con- centrate on ranching cattle, and growing wheat on larger Prairie type farm units. Many mixed farmers will be rendered un- competitive by low - cost im- ported foods. . It is estimated that,"as British farmers remaining in production swing"towards higher prices to offset the reduced subsidies, the higher level of prices will yield an increase in income of £145, 000,000 ($305,000,000) to British and Commonwealth farmers. Canadian farmers should be able to share in this, and ob- viously this could apply es- pecially to the producers of beef, pork, cheese and wheat. Britain, like other "countries entering the Common Market, would be compelled to adjust her agricultural prices gradu- ally to the common level. But of course these higher prices for some foods would be offset by reduced taxation as the present subsidies ended. The end result would benefit every British con- sumer. What of Canada's farmers? The British government, it is conceded here, would make pro- vision that Com m on wealth farmers who now sell to Britain on preferential terms would be able to continue to sell a sim- ilar quantity, either to Britain or to other countries within the common market. GALLUP POLL Extra Month's Salary Would Go On Holiday By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION If YOU had an extra month's pay -- what would you do? Spend it, most likely, along with most other Canadians who would de the same thing. As the economists say, the money would promptly be put back into circulation. Canadians re-act joyously to such a thought with only four in a hundred unable to tell Gallup Poll reporters to what use they'd put the money. Men and women think alike on travel and holiday hopes -- with oné in four ear-marking such a wind- fall "to have a good time". Another one in four men and women would put it into home improvements or home equip- ment, wiih women a little more eager for this than their hus- bands. Far down the list, in third place, less than one in What would you do with an Extra Month's Salary five would pay of debts. A still smaller group -- twice as many men as women -- would save it, or invest it for a rainy day. In re-acting like this, Cana- dians dream much the same way as theif American cousins, with a few exceptions. Cana- dians are twice as likely to think of a holiday trip as Am- ericans, and more interested in home improvements. On the other hand, south of the bor- der, men and women are more concerned with paying off debts than Canadians, and more in- clined to think of charitable do-: nations than citizens in this country. The same question was put to national samples of the adult population in both countries. "Suppose you were given a month's salary which you could spent in any way you wanted -- How would you spent it?" US. CANADA Take vacation, entertainment, have a good time Make home improvements home equipment 235% Pay off installments, pay other debts Save it, invest it Buy food, clothing, other family needs Buy something I need Give it to charity, to church, to needy Use for children's education ........ Other uses Don't know (Some gave more than one) ......... When it comes to buying clothes, the fact is that three times as many women (6 per cent) say this is what they'd do with the money, as men (2 2 4 100% 102% per cent). Some of the other things mentioned include "buy a new set of teeth . . . remodel my barn . . . help pay for my daughter's wedding ~ . . divide it among my childrea."
