J. Harris believes. : In his budget speech of last June, Finance Minister Gordon firmly de- elared the government's intention of moving toward a balanced bud- get. "A restoration of confidence in our country," he said at that time, "is a necessary prerequisite fo business expansion and the crea- fion of more jobs. Confidence is fiot something one can count on or theasure. It is a state of mind. It is psychological in character. And its recovery might well be dhattered if we failed to take clear and positive steps toward some re- duction in present: budgetary de- ficitat .. s In June the government's policy seemed clear enough. But in De- 'eember it seemed somewhat less 'firm. At a meeting of several ca- 'pinet members with a delegation of 250 trades union officials, who pre- sented the annual brief of the Canadian Labor Congress, the gov- 'ernment was urged to follow a 'policy of deficit financing in order "to create employment and improve living standards." To this 'advice the Prime Minister made an in- 'teresting reply: "We accept deficit 'financing providing it does what it was intended to do -- put people to work." : to the United Nations, Adlai Steven- gon, reneved the American offer to 'Russia for a joint expedition to the 'moon.

And still later, there were disturbing reports about the frustration of the On- tario Police Commission. It would seem that: Mr. Cass has a job to do to convince the people of Ontario that the fight against racketeering in the province is being directed energetically from the top. ; Doubts About Deficits The following day Prime Minis- ter Pearson issued a statement to correct what he said was a misin- terpretation of his comment. "The minister of finance," said Mr. Pear- son, "has not hesitated to support expenditures for necessary social and economic purposes, in parti- eular for the reduction .of unem- ployment. In following these poli- cies, the minister of finance has, and will continue to have, the full support of the Prime Minister." There is no general support for the theory that planned deficits would raise living standards and create a lot of new employment. At this time, what specific projects would create how much employment for what specific groups? That question would be very difficult to answer and, in fact, it would be extremely difficult to prove that the deficit financing of the past five years had much remedial effect on the rate of unemploy- ment, Mr. Harris says. Also, be- cause of the subsequent and con- tinuing cost, it would be difficult to prove that these deficits have improved living standards. Last year the federal government's debt charges came to $917,800,000, com- pared to $534,100,000 for the 1957. fiscal year. After paying that ad- ditional tax bill the individual must have less to spend or save, and industry must have less to invest in expansion. Some Shorter Steps ', Late in.1963 the U.S. ambassador _ Russians receded from their opposi- tion to a private corporation opera- ting communications satellites and to the use of surveillance-spy- satellites. Arrangements have also been worked out for a co-ordinated weather satelliite program, for joint experiments with the passive re- flector satellite Echo II, and for contributions of satellite data for the world magnetic survey to be made in 1965. Last month the number of radio frequency bands to be set aside for communications satellite systems was agreed to. Both nations are participating in the international expedition now under way to study the Indian ocean. They will participate in the Years of the Quiet Sun, the study of solar phenomena and related matters scheduled for 1964-'65. American scientists will winter at Soviet stations in Antarctica next year; Russian scientists will be at . American bases. There have been exchanges of Americans and Russians in the basic sciences, atomic energy, and public health and medical science. It would be misleading, to imply that Soviet-American scientific co- operation is free and open. It would be ridiculous to suggest that cos- ° monaut and astronaut will soon share the same space capsule, Nevertheless, it is_a hopeful sign that many of the shorter steps Stevenson spoke of as a possibility are an actual fact. 2 ~ "HIGHLY STRUNG REPORT FROM U.K. : Hovercraft Tale Of Co-Operation By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times COWES, Isle of Wight -- The development .of the Hovercraft from the simple model built from the invention of Chris- tepher Cockerel in 1958 is a striking illustration of the value of co-operation between govern- ment and industry in the field of scientific research. It took some years for Mr. Cockerel to convince the British ministry of supply that he had struck on a new and practical principle in transportation, but once the officials and minister were convinced, it marked the beginning of a remarkable story. I learned of this story while visiting the laboratories and re- search establishment of Hover- craft Development, Limited, near 'Southampton, along with journalists from other Common- wealth countries. After Mr. Cockerel had "'sold'" YOUR HEALTH Definite Purpose For All Surgery By Joseph G, Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Why do doctors never complete a hys- terectomy the first time,.or by a single operation? Why do they leave just one ovary when everything else is taken out, or teave the uterus when the ovar- ies are removyed, etc., when probably thre will be another operation later? I know of sev- eral cases, including my own I don't kriow why I am writ- ing this, but I got it off my chest anyway.--K. B. Well, it makes you fyell better to get things off your chest, at that. ; First of afl, I'm sure you know that it isn't true that doc- tors never perform a complete hysterectomy. Often they do. Ovaries, if healthy, are left because they serve a useful pur- pose. They secrete hormcnes which, in concert with those from other endocrine glands, regulate the body's activity in many ways. When, at meno- pause, the ovaries cease provid- ing these hormones, the resuit is a temporary group of symp- toms which we call the "change of Hfe'--hot flashes, nerves, menstrual irregularity and fi- nally cessation. After a time the other endoc- rine glands and the body be- come adjusted. By leaving the ovaries, we postpone this prob- lem until the normal time for it. Where, because of disease, the ovaries are removed, there is no point in removing the uterus, too, just because it hap- pens to be there. If it is healthy nothing is gained thereby. True, some subsequent trouble may-- or may not--develop. If it does, then is the time for surgery. You don't remove it or anything else, just on the long gamble that something might ail it later. An_ established principle of medicine is to do nothing that might harm the body except when it is the lesser of two evils. You don't perform sur- gery just for fhe sake of sur- gery. You perform it only because it can alleviate some greater trouble. his invention to the British min- istry of supply, in 1958, the Na- tional Research Development Corporation took over the proj- ect. Wjth the eventuai object of forming a British Hovercraft in- dustry, the NRDC ordered an experimental Hovercraft from Saunders-Roé Limited, in the fall of 1958. In January, 1959, Hovercraft Development, Ltd., a subsidiany was formed and through it the NRDC has shared the cost of building most of the first and second generation of Hovercraft. All the Hovercraft patents are owned by Hovercraft Develop- ment, Ltd., and through these, and the facilities offered by its research group, four firms now hold licence agreements to man- ufacture and sell commercial Hovercraft, Limited and West- land Aircraft, Limited (Saun- ders-Roe Division). A more recent development is the announcement that Board of Trade financing will be avail- 5 gts, B In fact~--and I wish more peo- ple realized this--the practice in every well-run hospital is to have a "tissue committee." After every operation, re- moved tissue is examined by pathologists and other special- ists, to determine in what way it was diseased or whether it needed removal. It is unavoidable, oocasion- ally, that healthy tissue is re- moved. Medicine is a science and at. but it does not pretend to be infallible. But let. a surgeon be found removing healthy tissue too often, and he has some search- fhg questions that he must an- swer. And if it continues to happen, he presently finds him- self off the staff. This behind-the-scenes work of the "tissue committee" is, you see, for the protectiun of all of us--a safeguard against unnecessary surgery or carcless diagnosis. LOT, AREN' 2 T THEY ? able to assist operating com- panies to speed u pthe inaugura- tion of commercial services. The Hovercraft Development, Limited role is that. of both short and long-term research and development. Its research facilities and findings-are equal- ly at the disposal of the four manufacturing firms now build- ing Hovercraft' under licence. When any one of them is con- fronted with a special problem, the technical group made up of scientists of all four companies sit in on the study of it and they actually help each other to a solution of their problems. All four companies have made great strides in bringing the Hovercraft to the point of being commercially viable, and play- ing an important part in the transportation systems of back- ward countries. On the wall of the board room hangs a map of the world show- ing potential routes which could be operated by Hovercraft. Can- ada is well pin-pointed on this map. One route marked out links Vancouver with Vancouver. Island. Some others would pro- vide transport links into the dis- tant northiands of Western Can- ada. And some points on the Great Lakes are noted as hav- ing possibilities for hovercraft travel. So the. work at this research establishment in the south of England might yet have a pro- found effect on transportation in some areas of Canada. A step in this direction is seen in the decision of the Westland company to set up a sales or- ganization in Canada. Stuart Miller, Westiand's North Ameri- can representative, will be in charge, aided by an expert in Hovercraft matters from Eng- land. They will be located in Ottawa.

He remained a prisoner until 1956 when a group of Hu is ingarian Freedom Fighters liberated him.

It is easy to lead a flock in peacetime, but when trying days are coming, the shepherd of the flock has to be ready to defend his fellow eitizens against Hag ow and the character of the leader must be of steel. The Cardinal earned the title of "The Steel Cardinal'. We can right- fully call him "The Champion of Freedom". Let us take a look back and we will understand him better. 1944 -- Hungary was occupied in the military sense by the Germans. Deportation became a common affair. The Bishop of Veszprem (before he became Cardinal) Joseph Mindzenty saved many victims, Hungar- jans and Jews, regardless of race or religion, from deporta- tion. Because of this, he was ar- rested -and interned. 1945 -- The Soviet troops ecenpied Hungary. The Soviet forces robbed, plundered, raped and murder- ed. This terror was ked by the new leaders who received their training in Moscow. There was no security, no order and no law. Not less than 500,000 Hungarians, men, women. and children aged 10 to 70, were carried off as 'Prisoners of War" to Russia, At this time Mindszenty was appointed Archbishop and Pri- imate of Hungary. The frightened nation waited for help. Then Mindszenty spoke up: "It is enough! Innocent peo- ple are being killed, deported, interned and deprived of their possessions as if there were no Ten Commandments, Here are the shining human rights: What have we done to cast our fear and misery? Have we held in leash the volcano of hatred and revenge?" After his first speech people said, "This is our leader". Thousands went to hear him speak. Protestants and Catholics alike, not heeding the ban. Cardinal Mindszenty went to Csepel, an industrial city. which was rega s the "red city", made up of wo . spoiled and privileged by Red _ leader, Rekoski. It should be mention- ed here that these workers were the very same who fought in 1956 until the last minute of the uorising against the Red tanks. Thousands waited for Minszenty in the 'Red City", Csenel. He spoke about love, 'And this love fs our basic princivle. We do not take awav anybody's bread, we would rather give to those who are starving, we do not take anybody's garment, but if we own two, we would rather give one to he who is starving and shivering. We do not imprison anybody. We endeavor. to re- lease our p s, We do not want to torture anybody into death . . .we even love our enemies." But the Cardinal did not only preach. He lived a very strict ascetic life, He was inexhaust- ible in work. It was commonly known he fasted three 'times a week. Once, at Christmas time the nuns offered him biscuits, a precious rarity in those days. He refused them, saving, "When every Hungarian will be able to have these on feast days, I will also Have them. Until then, these should be given to the voor." After he appealed to the West, help and donations were accent- ed bv the Communists on the condition that they would re- ceive 80 percent and the Hun- garian people only 20 per cent. The Communist party used do- nations of parcels to secure votes. The Paris Treaty brought new trials to the nation, The neigh- boring Czecks deported 700,000 Hungarians from their homes where their families and ances- tors had lived for 1.000 years. They were not permitted to take more than 50- parcels with them and were given only two hours notice to--leave. Many were medically examined and. if found physically fit. were sent to forced labor in mines. The Cardinal could not accect these unlawful conditions in si- lence, He spoke up again: "The Paris Treaty" has been signed. The greatest cut has been taken in emblem, soil, soul, countrv, cemetery,, school and church in the land of St. Stephen under facing our Par here, the ad Ey : u F ¢ nh 1 i i Payments.

His presence is a living testimony against tyranny, He refused the inter- vention of the late Pope John XXIII. He has his reasons to adhere to his decision to re- main and they are not without grounds. He demands freedom of religion and freedom for the political prisoners. If the Present Pope does not give a direct order to Cardinal Mindszenty to come to Rome. nothing will change. ' We bow our heads \, "th rever- ence for his greatness.

These are among the ques- tions which should figure in the mews here this year. Both opposition parties are set to continue battle against the government's medical insur- ance plan. It's. unlikely the plan will actually. be processed through the House this year. It is still before the committee which is investigating it and will be for some time. But it will still be talked about in the House. And some of the debate, at least, cer- tainly will be continued criti- cism of the government for fa- voring private insurance com- panies. ; TAX INCREASES? To the man on the street the biggest cause of concern could well be taxes. Will there be increases and in what form and when? There has already been an assurance that increases are coming. The only real question now is just how | and when. We discovered during 1963 'liament i Embassy of the USA, "The department of state to- cides that it would be advisable to revoke this suspension and reimpose tolls on the Welland Canal.' The Canadian govern. ment has decided that it would be advisable to revoke the sus- -- referred to and to re- impose tolls on the Welland Canal as of April 1, 1964 at the rate and under the terms exist- ing immediately prior to the suspension, , , ."
