Ihe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1964--PAGE 6 Common Market Faces Inflationary One of the reasons for the im- provement in Canada's export trade is the increase in production costs -- and therefore prices -- in Euro- pean countries, particularly in the most highly industrialized Common Market states. Wages and prices in the Common Market have been rising fast enough to start an in- flationary wave, and Common Mar- ket economists are worried; there is every prospect of a $1 billion de- ficit in international payments this year, the first serious deficit since the six-nation economic community was formed in 1958, "The economic balance in the Common Market is in danger," Robert Marjolin, the community's chief economist, has warned, "Sooner or later, continuing infla- tion will lead to a halt in expansion or even to a recession," He has told financial leaders in Rome that in the last four years wages and salaries have risen 28% in Italy, 21% in France, 20% in West Germany and 17% in Nether- lands, (Belgium and Luxemburg are the other two members of the Com- Struggle mon Market.) By contrast, Marjolin said, labor costs rose only 10% in Britain and hardly budged at all in the United States during the same period, Rising labor costs have been a major factor in skyrocketing prices, which are straining the communi- ty's trade balances, Last year the Common Market had a $2.8 billion surplus of imports over exports, Part of the problem is that the Common Market hasn't yet been able to devise machinery to deal effectively with inflation. Member countries generally respond inde- pendently, with the result inflation- ary pressures have been less severe in Germany than in, say, Italy. Marjolin ,wants a co-ordinated attack on the problem. As a start he recommends tight restraints on government domestic spending throughout the community. Canadians should not be smug about the situation, The answer' to inflation in Europe may be govern- ment controls, including import re- ductions. Fewer imports by the Common Market would mean fewer exports by Canada, Fisheries Convention The federal government is going ahead with its plan to extend the three-mile coastal limit to 12 miles --and a good thing, too. A few nations have already done so, and others are preparing to do so, The 16-nation European Fisheries Con- ference will have a final session this week; a draft convention, providing for a 12-mile zone, has been drawn up with the support of most dele- gations, who have agreed to re- commend it to their governments, Under the draft convention, sign- atory states would have power to regulate fisheries within a 12-mile zone; within the inner six miles, fishing would be reserved to the fishermen of the coastal state, with foreign fishermen who have tradi- tionally fished the three-to-six- mile zone being given time to adapt themselves to their exclusion from it; within the outer six miles, fish- ing would be reserved to fishermen of the coastal state and without limits of time to the traditional fisheries of foreign fishermen. The right of the coastal state to regu- late fisheries over the whole 12- mile zone would enable it to enforce internationally agreed conservation measures, as well as its own regu- lations on a non-discriminatory basis. This is, in essence, what Canada proposes to do. What Canadians may not realize is that this division of rights in a 12-mile zone was initially a Canadian proposal, The conflict over exercise of ex- elusive fishing rights was consi- dered. by the first international conference on the Law of the Sea in 1958, The problem was made more difficult by being bound up, for historical reasons, with the issue of territorial soverignty over coastal waters, Credit for opening the door to progress lies with the Canadian delegation to the 1958 conference, which proposed the establishment of two zones, an inner zone of territorial limits and an outer zone of fisheries jurisdiction, Difficulty For Police Policemen in Canada must-have shuddered the other day when they read that one of their number, a member of the Sarnia force, had been tagged with an $88,791 judg- ment in a civil suit, the Kitchener Record says: The action rose from an incident where a citizen was struck by a night stick wielded by the officer. The plaintiff suffered permanent brain damage, loss of sight in one eye and partial paralysis, The jury and the judge were obviously sym- pathetic to the plaintiff and their reasoning is easy to understand, . . . The judge pointed out that the police -- there were six of them -- had no right on private property, where the fracas occurred, without a warrant, However, the plaintiff had been informed that he was being taken into custody and the The Oshawa Times 7, L.

The police, it may be fairly stated, axe often on the tech- nical borders oy right and wrong in handling difficult situations of this sort, the Record points out, and. continues: . + . The case illustrates the need of a crystal clear understanding by police of their duties and responsi- bilities and the laws which govern all of us. Unfortunately at. times, they are faced with the need to use the kind of split-second judgment which might better be expected from a Supreme Court judge, "No doubt the Sarnia case will be studied closely at the provincial police college in Aylmer.

McINTYR& HOOD Special London (Eng.). Correspondent For Th Oshawa Times LONDON -= Talks in the an- nual agricultural price review, in which the prices which farm- ers will receive for their prod- ucts during the next year will be decided, are nov under way. They have started in a some- what discouraging atmosphere. Britain had h.ped to reach agreements with overseas sup- plies of foodstuffs, particularly meat, regarding -the size of future shipments, before going YOUR HEALTH into the price review talks. But a meeting between the minister of agriculture and these over- seas suppliers failed to produce an agreement, and broke up as a total failure. This in turn has upset the government proposals for the annual price review. PACKAGE DEAL Christopher Soames, minister of agriculture, had been plan. ning a package deal with farm leaders on cereals and meat. In exchange for agreements with overseas suppliers, which would have enabled him to co-ordinate their shipments with British Diseases Avoided By Pasteurization By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner; You -re- cently stated that raw milk should never be drunk, that it must always be pasteurized: I was born and raised in the Middle West, in the 1890's when pasteurization was unknown, Hundreds of thousands of peo- ple then drank raw milk, some right from the cow, Even babies were fed raw milk (no formulas in those days) I never heard of one of our cows being tested and I never heard of anyone getting sick. I even bought raw milk affer 1910 and I never got sick. Please an- swer why and how?--Mrs, ECA Sure, people drank raw milk, I did myself--and it was some- thing of a treat to drink milk, still warm from the cow. But it was dangerous You couldn't see the' germs without a microscope, and it just didn't seem. possible that there be any connection 'be- tween milk and sickness, Some farmers resented having their cows tested Not all cows carried infee- tions, But some did, and the re- sult was' bovine tuberculosis, typhoid, undulant -- fever and other diseases. People died in considerable numbers as a con- sequence We frequently tend to forget many unpleasant experiences but to remember happy ones. That, indeed, is one of the rea- sons why we look back to "the good old days" and forget some of the bad old things about them, including typhoid Control or prevention of ty- phoid and other germ . borne TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 25, 1964... Pope Pius V excommuni- cated Elizabeth I of Eng- land and declared her a usurper 394 years ago to- day -- in 1570. Elizabeth's concern about maintaining her supremacy Jn -ecclesias- tical matters had resulted in breaking off relations with Rome in. 1561, Thanks largely to Spanish diplo- matic' support, the papal bull excommunicating her . Came too late to encourage northern rebels 1873--The famous tenor Enrico born 187--The state of Prus- sia was liquidated, t Italian Caruso was diseases is a substantial part of the reason why the average life expectancy is now about 70 years, and in 1850 it was only 40 years, A Frenchman, Louis Pasteur, discovered and proved the need for pasteurization -- killing off bacteria with heat. He died in 1895, so he didn't live to see the full results of his discoveries. And neither, of course, did people who drank raw milk and happened to get some which carried disease germs. Are your sure you don't re- member hearing of "anyone gettng sick?" I do, But it took a fairly long time for people to be convinced of the truth, That milk, as well as water and food, had to be guarded against carrying disease Dear Dr, Molner: After tak- ing an enema I can't have a normal movement for days so I have to take a laxative. Then I fill up with gas and the only way I can get rid. of it is to take another laxative, thus forming a vicious circle --ERC That Is one of the misunders stood things about enemas which occasionally, of course, are necessary, The enema cleans out thé colon, It takes time for the colon to fill up again, before nature is ready for another movement, T think you will find that you do not "have to take a laxa- tive." Just wait another day or so for your natural rhythm to resume, By taking a laxative, you irri- tate the intestinal tract, and it is no wonder that you have trouble with gas. It will not harm you to wait a little longer, farm production, he was asking the British farn.ers '> agree to standard quantities which would limit the amount of government subsidies on these commodities, For nearly two weeks, repre- sentatives of Australia, New } Zealand, the Irish ..epublic, Ar- gentina, Uruguay and Yugo- slavia argued out the question of allowing only fixed quotas of meat imports, but they failed to reach any agreement, The talks ou cereals, in which Canada was juterested, ended on a more hopeful note. The main supply- ing countries are now expected to agree to Britain's proposals for minimvm import prices. FARMERS' DEMANDS In the price review talks, the farmers are pressing the gov- ernment for a 25 per cent in- crease in the level of real farm incomes over the next three years, This wovld represent a sua of $300 million, The government recognizes that there is some merit in the demands of the farmers. It is quite likely to go some way to meet the claims o: the dairy farmers for higher incomes for milk producers, There is a good reason for this. The government has been warned that unless prices are raised there is a grave danger sf a milk short- age developing, Delegates to the recent annual conference of the National Farmers' Union 'stated that they would be satisfied with nothing less than fourpence a gallon of an increase in milk prices, It is not at all likely that this amount of increase .ill be offered, Pos- sibly they might receive about half of that amount in the. price review. oi There are two other areas of farming in which uigher prices are likcly to be conceded, Grow- ers of sugar beets are almost certain to receive financial en- couragement to grow more sugar beets in view of the world sugar shortage and the high prevailing prices. And pig pro- ducers can expect assistance and encouragement to produce more pigs for the domestic bacon market, The outlook for the egg pro- ducers is not so hopeful, There is a large over-production of eggs this year, with resultant low prices, This means a higher subsidy for the poultry farmers, so the government is likely to take a hard look at the egg situs ation with a view to decreasing production le els, Now's the Time to Beautity Your Home with CUSTOM AND READY MADE DRAPES M. & C.

Govern- ments have levied taxes of 15 or 20 per cent on cash income, and that has proved easy to col- lect, But how can a govern. ment mollect 15 or 20 per cent on the fringe benefits of a staff canteen or casual weekend en- Joyment of a company car? To simplify the problems of employers and employees, and to try to boost his take with- out raising tax levels, Hon, Jack Garland, minister of Na- tional revenue, has issued an information bulletin dealing with employees' fringe benefits, This lists the most common types of such benefits, and ex- plains whether or not their esti- QUEEN'S PARK mated cash value should be in- cluded in the calculation of the employee's income, UNTAXED BENEFITS Some employee benefits are exempt from taxation, so their value does not have to be in- cluded in an employee's income for taxation assessment, These include the following: 1, Discounts on merchandise which are commonly allowed to employees in retail stores when buying from their employer, 2. The transportation passes given to an employee and. his family for use on vehicles op- perated by his employer. 3. Subsidized meals sold in staff canteens unless the charge made is nominal. 4. Distinctive uniforms or pro- tective clothing supplied for employees towear while at work. 5, Tuition fees for special Strong Contender For Liberal Post BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO --- Anybody who aspires: to be the next Liberal leader will have to beat out Elmer Sopha, Mr. Sopha, now serving his second term as the member for Sudbury, is unquestionably the ablest man in the Liberal ranks in the House, This 39 - year - old lawyer is probably the most fluent speaker in the House, He has wit, he is sharp, he has a broad grasp of public affairs, he is well read and shows a better knowledge of the prin- ciples of our society than any other member in the chamber, On abiiity he should be the next Grit leader. But he has obstacles, He is a man of apparently strong ambitions. And,perhaps, because of this he has shown some signs of ruthlessness. Hi colleagues respect him, But all of them do not admire him, This could be the obstacle be. tween him and the leadership. If he does make it, however, it could be his strongest asset. Itistorically, 'good leaders are never too close to their col- leagues, They can't afford to be. And noteworthy leaders have all had a touch of ruthlessness, BROAD, DEEP: This potential of Mr, Sopha must have been in the minds of many listeners when they heard the Sudbury member wind up the Throne Speech de- bate for the Opposition, He made a masterly speech. To the observer there were two facets that were particu- larly noteworthy. One was that he was taking a broad outlook, He made one significant state- ment, "I am not a citizen of Ontario," he said. "I am a citizen of Canada, resident and domiciled in Ontario." He showed not only breadth, but depth, in this. And he also an showed his grasp when he made three specific proposals as to changes that might . be made when we are redrafting Confed- eration, These were that the federal government should be given control of insurance, of labor relations and of the overall field of marketing. This type of bold, and thought- ful proposal is seldom heard here, This is a man of great abil- ity.

These in- clude: 1. Board and lodging regu- larly provided as a perquisite of the employment, as in the case of hotel employees and domestic and farm help, whether free or charged at be- low cost or fair market value. 2, Rent - free or low - rent housing provided by an em- plover 3. Personal use of an em- ployer's automonile, 4. Gifts in cash or kind, in- cluding Christmas and wedding gifts, except when these do. not exceed $25 in value or when the employer does not claim their cost as an expense when computing his own taxable in- come. 5. Holiday trips, expense-paid vacations or similar prizes, in cash or kind, awarded to an employee for long or meri- torious service, The above general rulings ap- ply only when there fs a direct employer - employee relation: ship, and not necessarily when the employee is also a share- holder or a relative of the owner of the business, BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Feb, 25, 1944 Albert Elson was re-elected president by acclamation of Local 222, UAWA.
