By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA--This is # boom, this is, More Canadians have jobs and are earning higher wages, than ever before in our history, according to go' ervment spokesmen, Our national . pro- ductivity is at an all-time high, But when we read the news- papers, and especially "'letier to the editor," we perceive a slightly, different picture. Johnny Canuck, that average Canadian, is complaining of the tax bite; his wife is complain- ing of the price squeeze on her household spending; workers everywhere are asking for higher wages to compensate for those higher taxes and higher prices; workers are even strik- ing to back up those requests, 50 when does a boom cease to be a boon? When is affluence eroded by an increasingly im- potent dollar?

It consumed 25 powerful . war- ships and brought death in less than a day to almost 10,- 000 sailors, some of them mere boys Only a few veterans re- main of that famed battle of Jutland, where the Germans massed their sea strength in a furious but unsuccessful atiempt to break the British blockade of the First 'World War, but the heated debate over the outcome rages on, as bitter and indecisive as the battle itself Who really won that sive sea struggle near Danish Jutland coast, British or the Germans? Who was responsible for the far. greater losses of the vastly superior British force? Could the escape of the re- treating Germans have been prevented The veterans who put to sea Tuesday aboard two Rritish destroyers and two German frigates, to pay homage to the mas: the the dead at the battle scene, can only emphasize the bravery of the warriors and the. horror of the human sacrifice: Entire Germans greater an. inferior force displayed far skill at Jutland with There were hase June Germans had slipped by one When 1, he on the dawn broke discovered crews blown to bits; survivors struggling in the water until crushed under the hulls of their own ships, NEVER TRIED AGAIN While the debate rages on, commentators generally ac. cept the conclusion that while the British navy was hard hit and its reputation damaged, the blockade held firm and helped ensure an Allied vic- tory in 1918 The Germans never tried a massive surface Sea test again They did, however; turn te unrestricted submarine war fare, sinking American and other neutral ships in a gam- ble to end the struggle before the Americans could bring themselves to declare war and muster an army The submarine bid failed and' brought down coals of fire on the Germans' heads, For the Allied blockade of Germany. continued through the winter of 1918-19, after the Armistice, and kept the coun- try poor and starving The evidence has accumu lated for some years that the grave deficiencies on the Brit ish side, from inflexibility of its chief admiral's plan of bat tle and poor communications to inferior ammunition and bungling in the admiralty The most. controversial charges are aimed at the ad- miralty's failure to convey ta the Grand Fleet commander, Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, full details of intercepted signals which disclosed the course the German High Seas Fleet would follow in stealing home under cover of darkness Author John Irving, retired British naval commander who served as a midshipman at Jutland, calls this "an abys. mal failure." j Historian Arthur J, Marder, in his book Jutland And After, describes it as 'crim: inal neglect.' Some in the admiralty had become so security-conscious they failed to give the rather single minded, tradition « bound Jellicoe the full facts, He had marshalled his re Maining forces to take up a position all night to cul off the Germans for their home of his flanks, This aroused great fury in the fleet. The enemy had in flicted wounds and escaped. To rub salt into the wounds, the Germans hailed the clash as a great victory. for their High Seas commander, Grand Admiral Reinhard Scheer. And amid the immediate con- fusion, the British government estimated Rritish losses even higher than they were In many parts of the world, the first reaction seemed to be that the British fleet's back had been broken, Victory flags flew in Berlin, The Kal- ser boarded his flagship at Wilhelmshaven and declared, 'The spell of Trafalgar has been broken," This was far from the truth --though British losses had been high. The Grand Fleet lost 6,784 officers and men and 14 ships totalling 110,000 tons, The Germans lost 3,058 officers and men and 11 ships of 62,000 tons Post mortems questioned whether Jetlicoe, a gunnery expert, showed sufficient flex- ibility, CANADA'S STORY | iia caiaiieaeeindeaeiemenaiandieaieni 4 Louisburg, Sad Deal By BOB BOWMAN Some spectacular trades in hockey, football and baseball do not work out well, Edmon- ton, for instance, has not won many football games since trad- ing Jackie Parker to the Ar- gos, Neither have the Argos, for that matter, Britain made a bad. deal in 1748 by trading Louisburg, Nova Scotia to France. for Madras, India, Yes, Louisburg only had about 4,000 people at that time, and Madras had millions, Hows ever, Louisburg was one of the strongest fortresses in the world, and commanded the sea-lanes to the St and New England When Britain decided to cap- ture Canada during the Seven Years War, it was necessary to take Louisburg first. Gener- al Amherst was put in com- mand of a strong army, with James Wolfe one of his brig- adiers, Admiral Boscawen com- manded the aval force, Ame herst and Boscawen were close friends and worked well to- gether The early morning of June 1, 1758, was foggy at Louisburg, Imagine the astonishment of its veniries when te fog lifted and they saw 39 Britlsh warships outside the harbor, The com- Lawrence « bined force of army and navy was about 24,000 men Louisburg was commanded by the Chevalier de Drucourt, a brave and stubborn fighter, He had aboyt 8,000 men, and knew how to use them to best advantage, Nearly 2,000 of them were spread along the shore to try to repel the British land- ing. Amherst put Wolfe in charge of the assault on the beaches, and Wolfe jéd his troops through the breakers, waving his cane, His men were able to find shel- ter from. the French fire by hiding behind the rocks along the shore, Once the landing had been made, it was only a ques tion of time until the fortress fell, as it did on July 27, Drue court's stubborn defence made it necessary to postpone the ajtack on Quebec until the fol- lowing year, There is an interesting point about the campaign = against Louisburg, in view of the re- cent find by skindivers of coins worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, During the action, Ad- miral.

But a worrying fact Is that as the year went on the number of people leaving the country Increased, And that fig- ure of 79,655 is twice as high as the departures in 1964 The immigration departnent, while congratulating self on being able to attract so many people to the country, is begin- ning to get anxious about the number leaving \ department official said there was nothing to be alarmed about in the drift "home" but he announced that his depart. ment was Calling an inquiry, Organizations having anything te do with immigrants, such as the Good Neighbor Council, church groups and ex-service- men's leagues, will be asked for their views on Why 80 many im: migrants seem unable to settle down in Australia Homesickness is put down as the major reason, No matter how many material advantages their new country has to offer-- better wages, better housing, sunshine, open spaces---it just isn't like. home, Immigration authorities have tried to solve the problem by encuoraging im- migrants to bring out other family members or close rela- tives, Immigrant wives, particu: larly, miss mother most of all, They want her to see the grand. children growing up. They need her help and advice in. this strange country, Se if mum can be persuaded to immigrate as wel bringing dad, too, of course--then the whole family's happy and settles down well. In many cases immigrant families go back to Europe, then find within a matter of weeks or months that they have made 2 mistake and apply to return to Australia again, But they can immigrate only once under the assisted passage scheme -- $22 (Canadian) for each adult; children free---so they have to scrape up as much as $1,800 (Canadian) to bring the family out to Australia at their own expense, But homesickness is not the only factor, Many claim native- born Australians are hostile to- wards them, Italians, for in- stance, live isolated lives in their own. communities, believ- ing they are not welcome in the rest of Australia, Britons, who make up more than half the 1,700,000 imml- granis give as their main rea. sons for leaving the high cost of living and the lack of social wel- fare facilities which are avail- able back home Housing is a particular prob- lem for new immigrants, There is no effective government home loan scheme, interest rates are high, and the initial deposit a home - seeker must provide is usually 20 per cent of the cost of the house, Immigration officals say the prosperity in Europe has drawn many immigrants back, as well as made it difficult to entice new ones to Australia, Canada has a special migra: tion relationship with Australia, Officially, Australia takes no im: migrants from Canada because there is an unwritten agreement between the two countries not to "poach"" settlers, In fact, last year 1,708 Cana- dians arrived in Australia and 654 left--a net gain to Australia of 1,054, Australia's immigration de- partment does not officially list Canadians and it is not part of its job to encourage them to come to Australia, There is 'no assisted passage scheme as there is for Britons. down with all the money to pay the 8,000 troops at Louisburg, there's more gold on the ocean floor!

Representatives of blue-chi American corporations, inelud- ing Dupont of Canada, Alcan In- ternational, International Nickel Company of Canada JAd., Ford Motor Company and others, are meeting until Wednesday, This is the second such con- ference called by the Atlantic Institute located in Paris, and while the agenda is aimed at developing co-ordinated steps looking to the 1970s, some harsh existing facts have to be faced. France, West Germany, Italy and others have been concerned that American capital invest- ment is gaining too strong a foothold in their economies. While American business in- vesiment in France has passed $1,500,000,000, de Gaulle's gov- ernment has rejected a number of U.S, investment projects. West Germany also has been choosy, FOUND FEAR Democratic Senator Frank Church, back from a fact-find- ing tour on NATO's ills for the Senate foreign relations com- mittee, said he found real Buro- pean fear that the thrustful American dollar is going to 'dissolve the Kurepean econ- omy like a cube of sugar in an American cup of tea," All this is old hat to Cana- dians and the extent of Amer- ican capital in the Canadian economy is taken as a text-book example of what Furopeans don't want to happen, James Reston of the New York Times touched on the point recently in discussing the Canadian debate on economic sovereignty projected by for- mer finance minister Walter Gordon and his successor, Mitchell Sharp, 'Most of America's trouble in the allied world today is simply that it is so rich and powerful," said Reston, noting that 'recent outcries among our best friends in Canada against our economie influence . . . in that country are the best filustration of that point, although Europe is wor- ried about the same problem." He added: 'The U.S. does not Intentionally use' its power to dominate other friendly nations but it does so anyway, It op- oses the spirit of domination ut it dominates," TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 1, 1966...
