PAGE FOURTEEN THE CANADIAN STATL~MAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO THURSDAY, MAY 28tb, 1959 Colombo Plans' Importance UIn Improving Asian Living Stressed by Rotary Speaker The vital importance of the1 Colombo Plan was emphasized by Keith Spicer, Torno his address at the Bowman-ii1 Rotary Club's lun2hieon meeting 1 at the Flying Dutchman Motor Hotel on Friday, May l5th. Mr. 1 Spicer spoke of the British Commonwealth of Nations' role! in channelling econornic, tech-j riical, and financial assistance I to needy nations through the. Colombo Plan. Parents Fram Durham Garnet Rickard,Warden of the United Counties, in intruuduinir, the special speaker, pointed out' that Keith Spicer's parents were both Durham County peo-1 pie, and that they have been active ini the Durham Club in -Toronto. Telling of Mr. Spicer's inter- est in international afairs, War- den Riekard said lie is a grad-, uate of the University of To- ronto where lie studied mod-1 ern languages. Aftcrwards, hiel, went to France where hie spent I three years at the University of Paris Institute of Political Stu- dies as a student of internation- al relations. He is now at. the University of Toronto working for his Ph.D. Warden Rickard, said lie is proud that Mr. Spicer is a relative of lis. The Fundamental Problem Advocating the wlsdom of a long perspective in regard to the Columbo Plan, Mr. Spicer stated that the fundamental problemn is between the indus- trial nations with a high stand- ard of living and the backward countries of the world and their semi-starving peoples.

He told the audience that the Colombe Plan was started in January 1950, at Colombo, Ceylan. at a meeting of the re- presentatives of den-ocra tic countries. It began as a re- glanai plan wliereby the peo- pIes of Southi-East Asia ceuldi be lielped by more fortunate nation s. Over 2 Billion Spent Mr. Spicer pointed eut that m;ince its inauguration ta datel two billion, 803.3 million dol- lars in aid lias been given ta the needy countries in the area ta boister their econamies, help their poverty strîcken people, and lay a groundwork for a self supporting future for the re- gion. Eacli nation ta benefit from the assistance offered by te Colombo Plan drew up a six year plan for development, Mr. Spicer said. Consultant commit- tees were formed ta help, and tedlinical aid was cliannehh,2d ta the counitries in need of it througli Columbo Plan head- quarters in Ceylon. Yearly Incarne $59 The speaker stressed the dif- ficulties faced by the govern- ments of South -East Asian countries. He said it is hard for westerners ta visualize the liv- ing conditions of huge masses of people there. He mentioned that tlic yearly per capita in- carne in Canada is $2,911, but said fliat in India the yearly incarne per capita is only $59 and in Pakistan it is only $40. The food problem is an ap- palling feature of the problems that must be solved in Southi- East Asia. This problem con- cerns hife ifself and is an ex- plosive one, Mr. Spicer said. He remarked that aufliorities have caiculated fliaf 60 per cent of the people in the world have flot enougli ta eat. 10 Million Die in Famine He spoke of the terrible fam- ines that camne ta South-East Asia. More than 10 million lives were f aken in one famine alone in India. The seceetary-gener- ai of the United Nations lias stated that people in these Free! countries suffer from a lack of protein in their diet, and the more fortunate ones only re- ceive approximately 1,500 cal- ories a day, Mr. Spicer told the Rotarians. To stimulate economy and teclinical development of the region is the objective of the Colombo Plan, Mr. Spicer stat- ed. A major effort is underway net only ta imprave conditions but also ta teadli the people, and assîst themn in becoming economically independent and ta help themselves, lie explain- ed. The countries concerned are being encouraged ta institutel more just fiscal policies, pro- gressive income taxes, and handi reform. Government credit is replacing the usury of the mon- eylenders, and fair prices are being receîved by producers and constimens aike, Mn. Spicer stated. 60 Percent Ownershlp Private capital froni western counfnies is now being welcom- cd for investment in these Southi-East Asian countries, lie said. Pakistari now allows for- eign finms ta obtain Up ta 60 percent ownership in an under- taking, lie exphained. Mr. Spicer was emphatic in stating that the Colombe Plan is flot a replacement but a sup- plement towards self help. TIc projects ahhow local people ta devejon thein own economy and industries. He told of tIc steel plants, factories for pnacessing raw matenials, irrigation scie- mes and dams, and communica- tion impravements. Prefer Long Term Loans The speaker explained that the countries concerned are pnoud and arixieus ta carn their own way. They do nof want ta receive financial and teclinical aid as gifts, but prefer taolib- tain tliem threugli long termn boans at low intcrest, rates, in this way they keep their self respect, Mr. Spicer said. In the scale of priorities, agri- cultural experts are in a high place, Mr. Spicer stated. These experts can start ta deal uime- diately with the food problem in countries wliere it las been said muore flian 1,000 lîves a day are lost through ignorance. By training local crop authori- fies, Canadian agricultural ex- perts save theusands ot lives. Sanitary experts are also need- ed, flic speaker said. He remark- ed that even elementary sanita- tian is nat undenstoed in the region. Files and insects on faod are disreganded there. Costs More to Store thanGive He spoke of the food bank ad- vocatcd by Prime Minister Die- fenbiaker, and suggested tliat the Canadian wheat surplus stored at great cosf, and now ratting in storage, could be shipped ta India, Pakistan, Cey- Ion and Burma. Mrn. Spicer said it casts more ta store the wheat flan it would ta give if away. Assistance is of greaf im- pontance, but it is alsa impor- tant fIat the British Common- wealth of Nations make friends while giving flirougli humani- tarian motives, the speaker pointed ouf. Friends are won an flic individual level, he said. He adv6cated that Colombo Plan experts learn thc Ian- guage of wliafever country they wonk in. Tliey shouhd mix with the inhabitants, and live sim- ply.ý without many of the coin- forts ta which tlicy are accus- fomed in western counfries. Canada lias a great robe te play under the Colombo Plan. Mr. Spicer stated. He said that Canadians can be of important tedlinical assistance, and point- cd ouf fIat Frendli-Canadian experts are specialhy qualified ta give lielp in Indo-China and fermer Frenchi colonies. Give 10% of Defence Budget In speaking of flic enormeus costs of flic Colombo Plan, Mr. Spicer suggested fIat Canada give 10 Percent of flic znney now devoted to national de- fence. He remarked fIat fIe present Canadian govcrnment says tIat Canada la incapable of defending itself, and fliat the Unifed Sfates wiil defend our counr. He asked wîy nat test flic soundness ef this reasoning by giving 10 percent or more of the funds now marked for na- tional defence. If we give more money fie United States wil not want to e le utdonc, and wiil increase the huge anieunts if gives fa the Colombe Plan, le predicf cd. The Colombe Plan gives prac- tical assistance and spiritual leadership, Mr. Spicer stated. He said if stimulates the econ- oamyeofflic countries of South- East Asia. shows the people tilere mctliods et independence Mýr. Spicer for his interesting and thought-prevoking address.

A letter was received f rom Co- bourg regardîng having a spea- ker on T.B. at aur next meeting but as the W.A. lias already made plans te have a speaker an T.B. from Orono at their meeting it was deemned unneces- sary te have a second one.

The treasurer read last year's financial report and said there was $32.72 in the treasury. The motte, was "Grant us a brotherhood net of words but of acts and deeds." Mrs. Green- wood, convener of citizenship gave a fine paper on "The Higli Cost of Discrimination." She told the story by Pearl Buck of a little girl in China who an- swered, their door bell and wlien asked if it was a white man or a Chinaman, the child answered "I neyer looked ta see."' A child learns prejudice from aduits and if the parents and teachers show no discrim- ination the chuld will not. This is very important ta observe new when Canada is the " Mel- ting pot" for the forming of so many New Canadians. We can- not have brotherhood among nations unless we practise it at home.
