On Guard In Germany

When Queen Elizabeth vis! ts West, Germany in May, “the First Royal Canadian Infantry Regiment will honor the occasion by marching through the old Westphalian walled city of Soest with bayonets fixed and drums beating. This is an event of sufficient 1mportance to rate a three- column heading in the New York Times. which notes that Soest grant- ed the Canadians freedom of the city—permitting them to- marc h through in martial array—last year, and that no other army, German or foreign. has been thus honored.

Canadians committed to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization shield in West Germany are small in num- ber—barely 12,000 officers and men _put they rank among the best. " About 6,500 belong to the Canadian Infantry Brigade and the rest to the six jet bomber squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air Force. A highly professional, combat-ready and well- armed force. they know just what they are there for—‘to provide the Supreme Allied Commander in Eur- ope with first ine forces in an emerg- ency.” as an air commander put it.

The Canadian Infantry Brigade is dispersed over a 400-square-mile area just east of the Ruhr Valley. It is assigned to a British corps, which is in turn part of the North Army Group in the Central European Command of NATO’s land forces. The brigade is bilingual. Its 22nd Regiment, with volunteers from Quebec, receives all its orders in French, and its equip- ment and instructions are both Eng- lish and French. The regiment mans the brigade’s new ENTAC anti-tank missile, a weapon developed by the French. we

The air force division is perhaps even more professional than the in- fantry brigade. The Starfighter pilots average 34 years of age and have flown an average of about 3,700 hours.

The Times quotes an infantry of- ficer as saying that most Germans “don't know there are Canadian units here helping defend their coun- try.” He added, rather wistfully, ‘I’m not sure that even the people back home in Canada realize what we are doing.”

Perhaps it’s time we | Our contribution to NATO‘ military strength in Europe’ fies / down- played in this country, for. some rea-

~ Soviet Farm Plan

“In Moscow the Soviet Central Committee was in plenary session for three davs last week. and has come out with an announcement of sweep-. , ing agricultural reforms which are of widespread interest. The program, providing for more investment in agriculture, higher farm prices, lower prices paid by peasants for consumer goods and lower rural taxes. is ex- pected to raise the farmers’ purchas- ing power and to help reduce the sharp differences in living standards between town and countryside.

The farm program was the first major reform adopted by the new Soviet leadership since the reunifica- tion last November of the party structure. Former. Premier Khrush- chev, who was deposed last October. had divided the structure into urban and rural hierarchies. The reform represents a major shift by emphas- izing the economic levers of prices and costs rather than the use of farm techniques and cropping system dic- tated from above.

Kirill T. Mazurov, 50, who was appointed First Deputy Speaker un- der Premier Kosygin and was made a- full member of the party's ruling Presidium, is thought to be slated for a key role in implementing the agri- cultural reforms, which will involve more than double the investment in agriculture in the five-year plan of 1966-70 as compared with that of the last five years. It's worth keeping this chap’s name in mind. If he suc- ceeds he'll be a hero to the Soviet peasants, long treated virtually as second-class citizens, and will have added power and prestige. If he fails —well, he can join Mr. Khrushchev in cozy retirement.

This is an intriguing idea It was put forward not as an-alter- native to a federal district: not at all. in fact. in the context of municipal problems but of the civil service 5

The author, Egide Dande- nault noted that -6ften French- Canadians are accused of not being interested in working for the federal Government. This. he said, is not true, but while many would be interested wm this work, they do not want to leave the province of Quebec to live in Ottawa.

For a Quebecker, says Mr Dandenau!t. this city is an un- friendly place with a puritan outiook on life. If he is a mar- ried man, it involves moving his family into a different social milieu, with the problems of a

Peru is a comparative new- comer to the world fishing scene. Twenty years ago. Peru- vian villagers barely caught enough to feed themselves

In 1950, however, several en- terprising Peruvians started seining the water for anchovet- as, the threeto six-inch- long member of the anchovy family. Some of the silvery fish were processed as tasty hors d oeuv- res, but most were ground {nto _ ahigh-protein poul- try and livestock feed.

but is not a civil servant, believ- es the Government has some re- sponsibility for making sure that its employes and their families can live in congenial surround- ings. If it wishes to attract more and to make the public service more bilingual. it should help his city to overcome its munici- pal problems.

This is an interesting argu~ ment. A change in name would not necessarily improve a repu- tation— ‘‘a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” This is something we should not forget on this side of the river.

Protests

he added: ‘Jt 1s our understan- ding that we proceeded in a per- fectly normal manner by the procedure we adopted "

To date no MP has protested about the imporpriety of this “perfectly normal manner.” But I repeat my belie! that the Cabinet has acted in a high- handed. arrogant and undemocr- ‘atic manner in not seeking. as President Johnson will seek, legislative approval for the plan before it is put into effect. =

At the very least. time should have been made available for a discussion in: the House of Commons, so that anxious MPs could have the opportunity of putting forward their*doubts, and hearing whether answers by the relevant Cabinet Ministers can set their minds at ease

WHO WILL LOSE JOBS? Evidence is already piling up to show that rhany small plants in Canada which have been ma- | nufacturing component parts for the big auto assembly lines will be forced out of business. as a result of this pact Alf Hales has suggested that the elimination of the tariff means in effect that the average Canadian family will now sub- sidise the big US auto compan- les to the tune of $10 per year in taxes. He explains the possib- le destruction of our parts in- dustries by suggesting that in future the manufacturers will be able to achieve their Cana- dian content requirements by as- sembly operation only “Why did Canada sign a treaty?” he asks President

such No wonder Johnson wined and dined Mike and Paul down on the farm in Texas!" ,

At stake is Canada’s fair share of the North American au- | tomobile market. At present Ca- nada consumes 7.5 per cent of } total North American production of cars, but is only permitted ‘o manufacture 4 per cent. That is why we have a disastrous trade deficit in the auto business with US: in the last full year report- ed. we bought autos and parts from the States worth $605.3 mil- lion, and they bought from us autos and parts worth only 835.9 million.

The current !ow carbohydrate reducing fad is a reminder that most people .select spring and fall to lose those five to eight pounds gained dyring the inter- val.
