More research and develop- ment in Canada will also ensure economic growth and profitabilîty. Mr. Pilkey pointed out in his speech. But, he said that in the field of basic research we spend only za quarter of the average of other developed nations.- Bleak Future? "If this is the road to the future, the future will indeed be a bleak one," Mr. Pilkey warned. "I would love to see a full employment economy with an innovative and socially responsible business sector," Mr. Pilkey added but he said_ this situation does not exist in Canada now. "The wvay to your increased economie profitability lies not in business blaming govern- ment and labor for its own failings but in setting its own house 'in order and getting ahead with the task at hand - a prosperous and generous Canada," he said.

As an example of jobs lost due to closing plants, Mr. Pilkey mentioned the closing of Fittings Limited's plumbing division in Oshawa. He said the closure-of the plant will mean upwards to 200 jobs will be lost at what was once Oshawa's second largest employer. Mr. Pilkey said a national, industrial strategy is needed to make certain that layoffs such as the ones at Fittings Limited do flot go unchallenged. "We must adjust and fine tune the Canadian economy to assure prosperity into the next decade and beyond," the labor leader said. P.EACHING // ,/ CAN SAVE X 7 Y A LIFE / r rouRTH WEEK OF PRIZES Cllff Pilkey at the Bowmanville Rotary Club last week. Government involvement in the economy is necessary to keep Canada prosperous, the president of the Ontario Federation of Labor said last week during a speech in Bowmanville. "We must adjust and fine tune the Canadian economy to assure prosperity into the next decade and beyond," Cliff Pilkey explained. He made this observation during a Labor Day message to the Rotary Clu b of Bow- manville. "The good old days of unfettered free enterprise are gone. Government is seen as having a legitimate regulatory and investment role in a mixed economy. There can be no turning back of the economic dlock," Mr. Pilkey said. SStrategy Needed He stated that a national industrial strategy is needed in Canada. "Government is the only Canadian institution that has both the resources and the necessary objectivity to devise a feasible industrial strategy," Mr. Pilkey said. In his remarks to about 50 Rotary Club members at the Fiying Dufchmian MVotor Inn last Thursday afternoon, Mr. Pilkey admitted that Ca'ans may not care for big government. "But in their current frame of mind they are not prepared to substitute corporate planning with its benefits for the- privileged few for public Accountancy WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm.

"The campaign waged against 50 called big govern- ment by the business sector is both unreasoned and highly hypocritical. If governments are increasingly involved in corporate lives, it is only because such action has been deemed necessary to protect the greater public interest," Mr. Pilkey said. The former Oshawa alderman and former Oshawa Mpp told his audience that much of the histôry of Canadian development is marked by "reluctant public investment moving into areas where private capital was unwilling or unable to act. Public Investment As examples of this public investment, Mr. Pilkey mentioned the building of the CPR, Ontario Hydro, Air Canada and Polysar. "All of these are as much monuments to Canadian business timidity as they are to state enter- prise," Mr. Pilkey said. "Governments are încreasingly being called upon to fil gaps and correct economic dislocations caused bpy the private sector," he said.- __Mr._Pilkey noted that in the Maritimes, government provides two-thirds of al economic activity and hie said this is not an example of socialist government forcing business out of the marketplace.

Expand Manufacturing Expansion of the country's manufacturing sector should be a number one priority,, according to Mr. Pilkey. But, he said that for business to enjoy profits, it must have a market for what it produces. "In addition to the billions drained fromn the economy in welfare and unemployment insurance costs we are losing the consumer purchasing power of each unemployed man and woman. It is in our collective interest to put this country back to work," Mr. Pilkey said. Foreign, ownership was listed by Mr. Pilkey as one. main stumbling block in the way of Canada's économie growth. "Once again, this is a problem of its (the business community's) own making and cannot be blamed on either government or the workers of this country," Mr. Pilkey said.
