ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5th, 19 72 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES sSmâdâ mN.%>L~eoem m .bo wu puwbs. elwy nuàvet w fl LofP2E.6Leu NEVER INDEPENDENT AGAIN Events of the past few weeks reveal that nonation can exist as an independent entity within the world çom- munity. Each is dependent upon the other and especially in the field of economics which even governs other aspects of Society. The move by President Nxon of'the U.S., in August to impose a surtax on manufactured products imported into the Country was a message of gloom and doom to many nations. This al!ong with ther economic policies of an solationist nature was surely a -threat to the econoniy of Most. Throughout the wvorld and in Canada much bas been said and wrtten in regards the declining economhic posit- ion most nations were threatened with ha the early fall. la Most cases the U.S. was held to blame. The United States, we suspect, was jockeying for' bargaining levies to use in negotiations with countries where trade, to or from, was extensive. This would include Canada along with France, Gcrmany and Japan. Many of these countries were in trading with the U.S. in their favour and to the point it was affecthng the economy of the U.S. Nixon's moves and policies were certtainly a form of shock treatment to pull tthe other nations in' Mne with their needs and desires. Even the U.S. must have been aware that they could not continue on the road with a policy of isolation. If ai- lowed to continue the U.S. would have found hierself, in due course, in a position no btter than that which she trhed to corýrect. The worid was actually in a turmoil as each nation was cast upon the stormny seas la their -own little boats to paddle. For some four months the financial and economnic world wýas in a turmbil., This was, however, to change as niationis camne to- gether working out a co-operativeagemn in wich al wýýoukt make some ajustmentts to ensuire a buioyant econ- omy.

A NEW PRIME MINISTER?
