Free Trade Agreement Debated By Rotarians WHITBY (Staff) -- Highlight of the Whitby Rotary luncheon Tuesday was an_ interesting panel discussion on a. timely fied with their purchase or sale. Better utilization of plant oper- ation was also cited as a def- inite advantage with the strong ibility a further advantage subject, 'Free Trade Agreement Between Canada and the United States'. Heading the four-man panel was Harry Wogden serving as 'Moderator'. Panelists were: Art Conrad, John Pantony, Henry Dick and Dick Matthews. Reading from a recent edi- torial concerning che topic, the moderator observed the pro- posed agreement may well have far reaching effects on the Canadian Automotive manufac- turing industry in particular. Expanding on this theme, he suggested some writers inti- mated the effects may be harm- ful to the country while other writers have the feeling the final effect may be advan- tageous. The moderator called on the Rotarians to voice their opin- ions on the subject with the hope of clearing any misgivings, misunderstandings or at least, for the purpose of acquainting each other with possible new thoughts on the subject. ROSY FOR CANADA Dr. D. C. MacKay questioned the panel. on whether there would be a direct advantage to the United States. 'It all seems rather rosy. for Canada," he said. Answering the question, Panelist John Pantony suggest- ed there could be an advantage to both sides, but only if the buyer and seller are both satis- would come through improved distribution of manufactured items. i One disadvantage may be brought on by a deflated econ- omy with American manufac- turers increasing their produc- tion while lowering production in Canadian industries. This pos- sibility however was not con- sidered as a serious threat with the panel feeling assured the problem could be avoided be- fore it became a reality. The moderator suggested the present approximate four and one half per cent production out- put enjoyed by one major Cana- dian automobile manufacturer may be brought closer to the seven and one half per cent im- ported production. He said this could well be a reality with the completion of the new trade agreement, ADVANTAGE CITED One panelist pointed out the advantage that may come from consolidation of production, Con- centration of production for in- stance in regard to one manu- facturer producing only one type of car instead of a dozen or more, could be an advantage. Manufacturing plants could be located at various places across the country, thereby increasing the economy while also increas- ing the production ability of one plant through simplicity of pro- duction controls. birthdays this week. Rotarian Wogder pointed out Canada has a domestic market of only twenty million people while United States has over one hundred million. A_ free trade agreement could change this situation, he suggested, Possible effects on the foreign car market, and production of foreign cars in Canada was also discussed.

The PUC has been providing LASCO with water since the plant's opening last year. The commissioners agreed with the draft of the agreement presented by their counsel but added to it a clause stating that company would not oppose an- nexation of part of Whitby Town- ship to the town. The agreement will go back to the PUC lawyer to be drawn up in legal form and to have the annexation clause added. Annexation is a hot issue be- tween the councils of the town and township and the providing of town water to a_ township plant was hotly debated by last year's council. Mayor Warren Mowat told the commission council would not approve the water agree- ment unless the clause binding the company to not opposing an- nexation was added. The agreement calls for a min- imum sale of $7,000 worth of water each year. The forecast sale of water for the plants first year of operation is a mini- mum of $14,000.
