, History tends often to repeat it- self. but it is doubtful if anything like the trek of hundreds of thous- ands of West Berliners through the gap in the Berlin wall to visit rela- tives on the Communist side has ever happened before. At this dis- tance the situation caused by this Communist. barrier, and the Com- munist decision to have it breached in this manner as a gesture of good will at this season, is difficult to get into focus.

- It is like a lucid gap in I night- mare. which still doesn't make sense. For the most curious feature of this gesture of Communist mag- nanimity is that it doesn’t extend far enough to allow East German : citizens to visit West Berlin.

Perhaps it is the prelude to better relations between West Ber- lin and West Germany on the one hand and Communist East Germany on the other. At least, the question is "being discussed on both sides of the wall in preparation for the situ- ation after January 5, when the present arrangement lapses

The West Berlin ci-ty govern- ment has started to negotiate with the East German regime on extend- ing the visits. Such talks. however, will likely run up against Com- munist claims for a quid pro quo. an the way of official recognition of the East German government's status. West Germans regard this regime as the puppet of Soviet im- perialism. created merely to keep Germany divided.

Meantime. however, we note that 1: “hot line." similar to the one set up between Washington and Mos- cow. is now functioning between West and East Berlin. Installed to facilitate the Christmas pass nego- tiations. it could mean a return to a saner situation for Berlin citizens. The hot. line. be it noted. is a tele- graph connection. Telephone com- munications between the two parts of the city have been interrupted for nearly ten years.

Proposed Conference .

One matter in which the federal government can safely take the initiative without danger of incur- ring provincial opposition is in the field indicated recently by Health Minister Judy LaMarsh to the House of Commons. Miss LaMarsh’s statement was to the effect that I special conference on mental re- iardalion would probably be held this year under federal auspices. Attending it would be representa- tives of the provinces, as well as of other interested groups.

The purpose of the conference. as outlined by the minister, would he to draft 8 comprehensive na- tional program to deal with retard- ation: and Miss LaMarsh suggest- ed that increased grants from Ot- tawa for work in this field might well be one result.

This, comments the Toronto Globe and Mail. is I most _hopeful augury. Canada has lagged in Ic- cepting proper responsibility for those of its citizens who suffer mental retardation. It was well into this century before volunteer groups of parents first brought the sub- ject out of tho concealing darkness in which it hId been hidden with mistaken shame.

In the years since. there has been some acceptance of respon- Iibility for the retarded It various levels-—in the local community, from special organizations and pro- Wncial governments. WI are ID

aware or the exvellnnf work which has been done in Prince Edward Island in late years in this con- nection. But, as our Toronto con- temporary Iays. governments havo not yet accepted their fair and proper share of the burden, and Canada does not yet have any na- tional approach to the problem.

In preparing for such a confer- ence as Miss Lal\’Iarc.h proposes. I thorough study of planning in other advanced countries would be most. helpful. This could best be done through the minister's own depart- ment, as a lime-saving first step in getting a national program launched.

And it is to be hoped. as the Toronto paper well says. that this conference “will be taken off the probable and placed on the certain list of government activities for 1964."

Taxes Galore The Royal Commission on Tax- suggestion

collected by one administrative pro- cess and then be shared by both levels of government.

It is unlikely, in view of the dif- ficulties in the way, that the com-

. mission will make any such recom-

mendation. But the proposal elicited

from one of the commissioners the I

highly pertinent remark that if the federal and provincial sales taxes, and. in some cases, excise taxes, were grouped together for the pub-

A lie to see, they might get “a terrible ‘ . shock."

The shock would be all the great- er in the still more unlikely event the commission proposing a scheme by which the public were to pay for all government -spending through one national consumer tax.

One Ontario commentator has tried to figure out what this would mean on the basis of 1962 statistics. Total government spending in Can- ada came that year to $13 billion, he finds; and since retail spending in the year came to $175 billion. this imaginary sales tax would have had to be at the rate of 75 per cent on every dollar spent. at the cash reg- ister level. A $20 grocery bill would have required another $15 for the tax.

Still bent on making our flesh creep, the commentator adds that "if this idea is a shocker. consider the point that in one way or another and without even knowing it the nation really is paying a tax bill of just that proportion."

Stretching The Life Line

Among the brighter news items of the year just closed was the re- port from the Dominion Bureau of Statistics that the average life ex- pectancy of Canadians is now among the highest in the world.

The new table. based on the 1961 census. places the life expectancy at birth of Canadian males at 68 years and four months. This is an increase of two years since the 1951 census and more than eight years since 1931. Still brighter is the life expect.- ancy for girls born in the 1960-62 period, which averages 74 years and two months, based on present. mortal- ity rates. This is 3"2 years more than in 1951 and 12 years more than in 1931.

Only .\'orwa_y. Sweden and The Netherlands have higher life expect- ancy figures. In all three countries. the figures are 71 for males and nearly 75 for females.

Mortality rates have gone down for infants and children of both sex- es, and for middle-aged and older women. There has been relatively little improvement in the life expect- ancy of males over 40. The new table indicates that of 100.000 babies born in 1960-62. 72,746 females will sur- vive to age 70 compared to 57,517 males

We've still got a long way to go before reaching the ages of the patriarchs before the Flood. but we seem to be heading that way.

gT_rAwA REPORT by P;+.-ask Nicholson Costly Election Promise Proved Unsound

Election promises by political leaders cost money that money has to be provided by the tax- Da_vm‘S: wc have had so many costly election promises in the past scvon years that we cannot now afford any more, while some must be rescinded.

The voters. long gulled by politicians‘ promises that they can give something for nothing. are rcluclanl to believe this. A neat. little capsulated example of the bitter costly truth of this has however just been provided from that impressive building facing our Parliament Building here. the Embassy of the U.S.A.

“Tho Department of State to- day announced an exchange of notes with the Government of Canada regarding the ireim.poIi- lion of tolls on the Welland Canal. The tolls. which were suspended as of July 18. 1962. will be reimposed as of April 1. 1964." Thus the Ambassador of U.E.A. commenced his main. and summarized the whole sorry story. “IF YOU VOTE FOR ME . . ."

Just before polling day in the 1962 election, the leader of the Conservative Pary. John Diefcn- bnkei‘. was whistle-stopping thr- ough the Niagara Peninsula. sol- iciting the voters‘ support for the candidates of his party. He sur- prised his lislcners by announc- ing that rolls on the Welland canal would be suspended if his government was returned to of- fice. This appeared like a gamb- lor‘s throw to defeat the sitting Liberal MP's in that dist.rict.. such as Wellandls Dr. W.H. Mac- Millan and Niagara Fall's Judy Lahlarsh. and to keep Lincoln safe for the Conservative can- didale.

This bid failed; the Liberals swept all three seats. But the Diefcnbaker government was re- turned to office in a minority position. So the tolls were re- moved.

Ambassador Butterwm'1fh'I statement discolsed the text of the relevant note addressed to him by External Affairs Minis- tor Paul .VIarl.in on December 19, 1963. This road:

“Sir: I have the honour to re- fer to the exchange of notes of March 9. 1939 setting out the tar- iff of tolls on the St. Lawrence Seaway including the Welland

So now. after I costly tx- periment benevfiltimg shippers at th cost of the ian taxpay-

This raises th e interesting question: what other costly elec- tion promises will now also have to be defaulted upon?

Biting The Hand

Globe Ind Mall, Toronin

There has been an extraordin- 1 my influx of foreign capital into ‘ Canada since the war. At th I beginning of 1947. the amount of foreign capital invested here at $7.2 billion—— pretty much where it had stood I ll through the 19305 Ind I 11 through the war.

But from 1947 on, the figure raced up. Fifteen years later. It the beginning of 1962. it stood of- ficially at $23.6 billion. and to- day may be estimated at $25.5 billion.

VI

The development b r o u g ht about by this massive increase in foreign investment helped to bring about I massive increase in Canada's national wealth. The 15-year period (Jan. 1. 1947JIn. 1. 1962) which saw foreign in- vestment in Canada more than tripled from $7.2 billion to $23.6 billion also saw Canada‘: Gross National Product more th I n ti-{piled from $11.8 biilion to $37.4

on.

Every Canadian shared in this increase of n I t l o n Il wealth which foreign investment he! to bring about. In 1947. Canada‘: average industrial wage was

.19 8 week; in 1962. it wa s $80.55 I week. In 1947. Canada‘: per-caplta income averaged 827. or $3.308 per family; In 1962. it ‘

family.

This process of enrichment through foreign investment in ef- fect has been challenged by Fi- nance Minister Wal-ler Gordon. In his June 13 budget. Mr. Gor- don expressed concern over the extent of foreign ownership of Canadian industry.

He thereupon proceeded to slap 8 punitive tax increase on Canadian subsidiaries of foreign- owned companies. Unless these subsidiaries make 25 per cent of their shares avaliable for Can- Idian purchase by Jan. 1. 1965. the withholding (Ix they my on dividends sent out of Canada will Increase from 15 per cent. II If present. to 20 per cent.

What Mr. Gordon has done is suddenly. without warning. (:0 wave the red flag of hostility at foreign lnveItorI—In ox1rIorxl- lnary step for I country which since the war hu Iccepted close to $20 -billion of foreign capital; and has employed that :20 bil- lion to bring about In almost re- vofutlonary improvement in its Itandards of living.

This meuure hII not been Iufflclently considered. It hII not been Iu-fflciently debIted. by Parliament or by the public. It could prove to be I. hiltorlc blun- der on CInIdI’I pIrt. The very leIst.Mr. Gordon cIu do II to withdraw It—-Ind the Iooncr. the better.

Some women be- come depressed after I hyster- ectomy: many more develop Id- verae emotlonul reactlom.

Dr. William S. Kroger of Bev- erly Hills. Cal.. describes three different types of neurotic per- sonalities that tend to provu troublesome after the operation. The first is the polysurgery Id-

'ct. the woman who has h I (1 many operations and hospitali- zations. She is tense and often has defined and widespread pIinI.

Some of these women lnslsll upon I hysterectomy because they are too old to have more children and are convinced that small fibroids are responsible for backache or abdominal din- tress. These attitudes are diffi- cult to understand; I deep-scab ed psychic need to suffer must drive them to surgery. They are more unhappy when the op- eration does not solve their emu- tlonal problems.

The indifferent woman II the Iecond type. She la friendly Ind tIlkItlve. but this is just I fac- Ide. I-{er immaturity prevents her thinking about the operation beforehand. but the boom drops when it is over. She respondl

like I spoiled child and com- plains bitterly about every little ache and pain.

The third type is the over-an- xious or domineering woman who bargains about fees. where the incision should be made. Ind what anesthetic to use. She ul- ually is vengeful later on.

These are problem patients. and the physician is likely change his usual approach when they are recognized.
