Similar aid has been channeled

spending on_a. population’ basis. Can- ada’s ‘population of 20 million is ~about one-tenth that.of our southern neighbor.

Canada is often criticised for her

munist countries. but receives small | credit for her aid to developing coun- tries in the Free World. That we are doing more along this line, however, is what counts. As 1965 ended, the Canadian External Aid Office report- ed that. it had helped 66 needy coun- tries. Last month $15 million in emer- gency food was granted to India, fol-

_ ment of $10 million in wheat.

_India has been a heavy recipient |

“of Canadian afd since 1950 when Canada joined the United. States, Britain, Australia, Japan and New Zealand in a program of aid and technical assistance. in South and Southeast Asia. Since then Canada has contribut ed $528,678,000 in grants, loans and credits to various countries. India alone has received $317 inillion in aid. In the last decade

through other plans for Common-

wealth countries in Africa and the

Caribbean, for French-speaking coun-

tries of Africa. and Asia, and most ‘e-

cently, for Latin America:

As External Affairs Minister Paul Martin said recently, Canada’s aid activities should not be viewed “in .

aa iisaar of a protectionist revival is real enough all the same. And there -- are few countries which should be

“more concerned about the matter

~~ than Canada. . To be sure, Canada has become a relatively open market, as proved by ~ its present trade deficit; but potent ’ interests are always trying to Shelter behind artificial import barriers of - one sort or another. Only in the last few weeks has it replaced a nation- w+ alist and protectionist’ minister of ‘_. finance with an internationalist who

~~favors maximum. international trade. -

Ever since the Second World War ' Canada has enjoyed buoyant exports __and. with “belef interruptions, ;,,000 times. The younger generation at Ottawa is inclined-to take them for granted, as if they were normal and inevitable. Older Canadians know that-ir part they were the result of hunger for Canada’s goods'‘a mong foreign nations, impoverished by war and in’ part the fruit, of human in- “telligence through sensible arrange- ments like GATT.

In the U.S., the late President Ken- nedy took grave political risks in pro- posing his Trade Expansion Act and his successor will face even greater “difficulties if that legislation” “is not™ implemented before it expires in 1967. Rejection of its far-reaching offers at

“y Big Ideas Needed

~ Noting the failure in many areas ‘to take advantage of the ARDA pro- | grams, the Hamilton Spectator says that one reason given for this failure ‘is that people in the areas that could | be involved are ignorant of the Act’s scope. Actually, there are few rural

into one of the several projects list- . ed. ‘Another reason for the seeming | lack of interest, however, is that some © provinces (particularly-the Maritimes) do not have the money to match the federal contribution.

The Act’s design is to provide fed- eral-provincial funds for: 1. projects _ for the alternate use of lands classed

as marginal or of low productivity; 2. . |-

projects for the development. of in- come and employment “opportunities in agricultural areas; 3. projects for the development and conservation of soil and water resources; and 4. pro- jects -for research relative to the former, _

The Spectator makes a good point

‘The Winnipeg paper goes so far as-to say that if the Kennedy Round finally breaks down, Canada should

Our Foreign-Aid Role

Canada has broadened its foreign- aid role during the past year, and

this is one matter at least about

which the Pearson government is un- likely to hear criticism. Usually, in-

, deed, it has-been the opposition par- .

: ties that have urged the government to do more in this connection. Can- ada is now spending nearly $250 mil- lion a year in foreign assis€ance pro-

»/-grams, and there is general’ agree-

Even at $400 million; a. total -ex- pected to be’ reached. by 1970, our national oytlay in meeting this re-

/ HONG KONG VETERANS Sir,—Y¥our editorial comment of January 7th on the prelimin- ary report of the problems of Canada’s Hong Kong veterans, recently submitted to Veterans

Affairs Minister Teillet, will be~: read with interest by those few,

of us remaining in this Province. Your generous. treatment. of. the subject will surely be: appreciat- ed by these same veterans and it is to be regretted that it will

not command the attention of “many ~ others~ outside “the-range-|-

Why it should have taken them so long to get it is the surprising thing,” is, as may be assumed, ‘no surprise to the, veterans of Hong Kong.
