PAGE FOTIR THE CANADIAN STATFSMAN, BO'WMANV1LLE~ ONTABIO THURSDAY, MAT lth, lus EDITORIALS Which was greater in the automot- Ive Industry last year? The total of wages paid to the workers who made the cars and trucks, or the total of sales and excise taxes that Ottawa collected on the vehicles before they could be driven from the factories? Probably 99 out of 1W0 Canadians would guess that the payroll would be the larger figure by quite 'a bit, says writer C. J. Harris. If sa, they would -' be wrong. The industry's payroll came ta $156,095,602. The total of excise and sales taxes collected on the manufactur- ers' prices was $160,192,431. And, of course, the excise and sales taxes are only part of ail the taxes that are includ- Stupidity, Not An old, if inelegant, saying is "Every pot must stand on its own bottoin." A great many moderns seem not to have heard of this, states The Tren- tonian. Sa eager have we become ini the quest for "success" which could be spelled $$$$ that we have made the end which we wish to achieve mare in- partant than the means by which we achieve it. An instance of this is the revelation of widespread cheating an the part of students in United States colleges, a condition which we suppose is not con- fined ta that somewhat over-criticized nation. 0f what earthly use can it be ta cheat one's way to a degree or a pass mark? Surely it will not take anyone long ta discover the fraud? Have we became so mad in our lust ta get ta the top at once and ta possess matenial things ail in a heap that con- ed in the price of a car or truck, or of any manufactured article. , It may seem astounding that the txcollector got a bigger share of what the customer paid for his vehicle than the men who made it, but this is not because workers in the auto plants are in a low waga bracket. The most recent Departrnent of Labour record puts the average hourly wage in the automotive industry at $2.24 an bour, third highest in manufacturing in Canada. Most of us may wonder from time ta time where ail the government's money goes, but these figures on the automotive industry indicate where at least part of it cames froôn. Success sideratians such as honor, effort and worthiness go by the board? We recali a warning in the Christian Century, a leading religiaus magazine ini the United States, written almost 20 years ago, that the gospel of success was leading many to ruin on this continent. Recent exposures of fraud, cheating and dishonesty are symptoms of a serious misconception on the part of many people. Where does thrift and honest effort corne into this? And as surely as night follows day, tbe man who fraudulently niakes bis way ta honors, or a position, which be bas not earned by real effort, will have bis shame exposed in short order by bis own ineptitude. It is a short-sighted, sad, stupid business in- deed ta think that there is any quick road ta true success. That cames only from bard work, and sanie personal integrity. A MacDuff Ottawa Report What Sense Defence? OTTAWA-By slow degrees the Bo- mnarc missile 15 dying and with it the last shred of a Canadian air defence policy. The U.S. Governmerit administered the first bIow when it called for a sharp reduction in the number of its own bases for the zuclear-armed anti-bomb- er weapon from sixteen ta eight, stili leaving two in Canada. The powerful Appropriations Com- znittee of the House of Representatives sounded the death knell for the ground- to-air missile wben it recominended late in April that production be scrapped altogether. It may be June before the House and later the Senate reach any final de- cision on the fate of the ill-fated wea- pan, but there can be littie doubt that it seems destined to follow Canada's Avro Anrow into oblivion. Where does Canada go from here? No one knaws, certainly flot the Canad- ian Government. And when the decision is arrived at it wil bear the stamp "Made in U.S.A." The time is long since passed when Canada can provide for its own air de- fence. Canadian authorities readily ad- mit that such defences that do exist or were planned, as in the case of the Bomare, were flot to pravide for protec- tion for Canadian cities but ta protect the retaliatory force of the U.S. Stra- teg-ic Air Command - the only defence the West bas against war. The supersonic "Arrow" was de- ï7e1oped by the ROAF to provide a mod- ern replacement for the nine inter- ceptor squadrons stretched across Canada which are now equipped with the obsolete CF-100. The Arrow - otherwise knawn as the CF-105 - was consigned ta the scrap pile by the Government on the grounds that it was not worth the cost. By the tirne it came into service by 1962, it, too, would be "obsolete" because by that time the threat from manned bombers would have dwindled away ta be re- placed by that from the intercontinental ballistic missile, against which there was no defence. At the tixne the Arrow decisian was in the works the US. Government, still 'more concerned than Ottawa authani- ties about the continuing threat from nianned bombers, pressed Canada ta add two important links ta its own Bomare ~ground-to-air mi ssile chain by building -bases in Northern,' Onf-iio and Quebec to provide protection for the area sur- rounding New York State, the very heart of the U.S. With the U.S. agreelng ta pick up two-thirds of the bill, Canada readily i4r1 (EniauMa ,,tat2oum Established 1854 witb which lu tncorportd Th e owanville l4ewm The Newgautle Independent and The Orano News lOth Year af Continuous Service ta the Town af Bowmanville and Durham County SUiSCRIPTON RATES $4.00 ca Year, at#ictIy in cadvanc $5.00Oca Yom in the United Status £Luthoiz u Ucg@Omd ClousMail pool OMfce Depazt ml. tt Publilhod by "M jAMm puBLIBHIG COMPANY LffUTE Bowmanville. Ontario JOHN M. JAMES, EnrrOB .agreed, since it at least provided the esemblance that this country was making emorne contribution ta air defence of the North American Continent. Now even that illusion is crumbling and ail that Canada appears leit with are nine RCAF squadrons equipped with a 'plane that by modemn standards is the equivalent of the Model-T. What are the alternatives? We could buy one af the supersonic U.S. interceptors ta equip the RCAF squadrons. While the cost might be lcss than the Arrow the some objections would prevail. If the Arrow was destin- ed ta be obsolete before it went into service, the same thing is more than true for any of the U.S. fighters - none af whicb are its match. Moreover, none of these 'planes would provide the range required ta meet the new threat irom the manned bomber, outlined by Defence Minister Pearkes himself, with the "f iying bomb" which can be fired up ta 1,000 miles away irom its target by an air- craft. We could instaîl anuther type of missile, but there are none in produc- tion that would offer any improvement over the Bomnarc, wbicb was really on the way ta being killed less because of any fundemental defects in its perform- ance than because time bad pessed it by. We could abandon aur air defences entirely and nely solely on the deterrent force ta prevent the outbreak of war. The latter pahicy bas been recam- mended with growing force in Canada as the only one that made any sense in an age wben there was no real defence except the deterrent. With it gone the suggestion that Canada sbould become campletely neutral 'and devote its de- fence funds ta waging the fight for men's rninds by increased foreign aid ta under-developed countries, or stick ta a purely conventional force which would be turned aven ta the United Nations ta prevent littie wars from becoming big ones. Canada is not neutral and not apt ta become neutral. The United Nations does not bave eny permanent international police force now, nor bas it sbown any reel desire ta have one. If, as all the authorities insist, the retaliatory power of the U.S. is the free world's best defence egeînst ettack then perhaps the greatest contribution this country can make is ta belp maintain it. The U.S. for years bas been bearing a much beavier defence load than Canada and the disparity between the twa countnies bas been growing as the Canadian defence budget bas continued to decrease while that of the United States bas moved upwards under the pressure of costs for ICBM's and bal- listic missile warning systems. It wauld be an awful blow ta Ca.nada's national pride ta confine its main defence contribution ta bhelping ta pay part of the cost ai the deterrent, but a large measure of sovereignty in the f ield of defence bas been surrend- ered already. Considering the threat that faces Canada and the rest oi the wonld - oblivion - it may well be that l9tb century concepts ai sovereignty are ai- ready far out ai date. The British bouse af Commons bas already been told by its new Defence Minister that the nuclear ICBM World 15 toa big a league for Britain ta play ina, and that Britain could no longer afford ta mairatain an independent nuclear de- terrent. The fact that the senior Amer- ian ally cannat maintain an independ- ent defence posture may resuit in aa British effort ta strengthen the NATO role in defenoe strategy as a caunter- weight to the U.S. Pentagon. Canedian initiative and participation in sucb an effort appears ta be the only alternative ta camplete Canadian dependence on Anierican defence policies.

Thara is not much doubt about the form such propaganda will teke. Everyone knows that the CLC officiaIs intenti ta back the New Party, even tbough it is not very likely ta get anywbere in politics. Why are they ready ta spend sa much money on a party wbich is really the olti CCF in disguise and can be expected ta fail, just as CCP bas faileti, ta gain power at Ottawa? The answer, surely, is that many of the leaders in the union movement are career socialists first, and union workers next. Andi if they can malce it almost compulsory for ail union membens ta pay fees into the coffers of the New Party, tbey wiil have a pile ai money ta publish leitist propaganda. What do I mean by "almost com- pulsory?" I mean that a union member wbo must pay ta support the New Party unless he goes ta the trouble and pssibly te embarrassmant ai "con- tracting out" is really belng pressureti. It ia much like the aid gag, in a meeting, wheete chairman says, "If there is anybody in the hall so tight with money that he is against this progressive step your executive bas taken, he need only stand up and bis fifty cents will be reiunded! " In this sort af lcit-handed way, meny a rank-and-file union worker wvi1l be in the position of financîng socialist iLlees which he daes net believein, and under- mining a system which bas given hlm a bigher standard ai living than most of the world's workers. bis money will be used ta do ta Canada what Socîalism did ta the UK and ta Australie. Wil foilowers oi the Conservative, Liberal or Social Credit parties, who are alsa rank-and-file union memnbers, stand stili for this sort of arrangement? WiUl they pay fees ta pay for leftist attacks on the principles of Social Cred- it, Canservative, or Liberal parties? Not willingly, they won't. There are bad times ahead for Canadien unionism, and an ,.lmost certain shakeup in leadership. Rank-and-file members bave reiused agein andi agein ta vote et the polis, in secret, the way their leaders have want- ed tbem ta vote; and unless the iaboring man bas compietely lost bis independ- ence, he's going ta do a lot ai squawk- ing befone be shahls out bis money ta promote principles he is dead set against. -:@SUGAR and SPICE:* Disfflud hy BlD Smiley ivibejq Mothers of the nation, I take this apportunity ta wlsh you a Happy Mother's Day.
