Another Report

The report prepared for the At- lantic Provinces Research Board by a Scottish economist, Prof. T. Wil- son, doesn't appear to say very much that is new. though it is to be hoped that Ottawa will take due note of his insistence that the whole of the Atlantic Pr0vinces should be re- garded as an underdeveloped region to which assistance should be given.

He suggests that grants instead of tax exemptions be given as an in- centive to firms expanding or start- ing industries in the Atlantic region. He also maintains that some areas are so unsuitable for industrial de- velopment that it would be useless or excessively costly to make the attempt. and that the proper pro- cedure would be to insure that the areas chosen are large enough to include within them likely centres of industrial growth.

APEC officials have termed the Wilson report “important and time- ly." yet we confess that we have little enthusiasm for some of its im- Piications. The professor does en- deavor to show, however, that his emphasis on existing centres of growth does not imply the abandon- ment of the rest of the less prosper- ous areas.

First of all. he says, there is the recognized need to improve the ef- ficiency of agriculture. In the At» lantic Provinces. the proposed ac‘ tivities of ARDA are relevant to this point. The fishing industry may also be helped to become more ef- ficient. and the tourist industry may be expected to grow. Then there are “the extractive industries and lum- bering," together with the important. primary manufacturing concerns that are directly based on these natural resources.

“It would be unwise," the report

concedes, “to confine the special financial inducements offered to secondary manufacturing industry to those concerns that locate them- selves in the centres of growth. Ex- perience shows that it is quite pos- sible for a limited number of small factories to prosper in outlying places . . . Some of these concerns outside the main centre of growth may be able to meet a special local need. Some, as in Prince Edward Island. may be able to engage suc- cessfully in the processing of agri- cultural produce. Moreover. through- out the whole area, the tourist in- dustry may be given some assist- mm... 3 This is about. all the professor has to say on this phase of his sub- Sect, and we found it disappointing- ly inadequate

mused m wondered out loud, dur- ing the committee hearings. why they were not similarly "essential," but got no answer.

This underground city—for that's what it is, equipped with all the modern electronic conveniences of a small, self-contained municipality—- will be command headquarters of the Federal Government in case of war emergency. Not only does it continue in operation. but the Emer- gency Measures Organization per- sists in its expansion.

The EMO agency, familiarly k n own around Ottawa as the “Doomsday Department,” was the panic outfit born of the tension of the cold war when Russia and the U.S. were doing their-nuclear bomb- testing, and every community was being urged to build fallout shelters.

Unlike the Armed Services and the Militia. this organization hasn't been cut back. According to Mr. Jackson, it‘s still growing. The staff is up from 110 of last year to a cur- rent 217. its boss draws an annual $19,000 and 30 of his brass rate better than $10,000. The payroll runs to an annual $1.180,000—up from 1963—and the whole operation costs $5,600,000 a year.

No one would question the value of such expenditure, if it were neces- sary. But how can it be reconciled with drastic reductions in the Navy, Army. Air Force and Militia—the actual fighting defense forces? For these two agencies—EMO and the Bunker—are sort of end-of-the-world operations, taking over when every— thing else, including the Armed Forces. is done.

It does seem a rather extreme case of putting the cart before the horse.

Trade With Cuba

Until last week the majority of the Latin American states had de— cisively rejected Washington's ef- forts to impose collective sanctions against Cuba through the Organiza- tion of American States. Canada could rebut U.S. representations by pointing out that neither the other members of N ATO nor the members of the OAS shared the American be- lief in trying to quarantine a coun- try merely because it called itself Communist.

Last Sunday the OAS members voted 15-to 4 to impose commercial and diplomatic sanctions on Cuba; and in the Canadian Commons on Monday External Affairs Minister Martin said the organization’s re- quest that other countries join in its boycott would be “carefully con- sidered." However. he reminded the House that the former Conservative government and the present Liberal administration h a v a "consistently taken the position that. carrying on diplomatic and trade relations do not signify approval of the regime.”

The amount of. trade which Cana- dians are actually doing with Cuba is insignificant. It does not include export. of arms or strategic goods; and as pointed out in some detail by the Financial Times, the Ameri- cans themselves are still far more important suppliers of the Castro regime. The question of a Canadian embargo is therefore of very little practical importance.

It is possible that the switch in the position of the OAS—though still not unanimous—will make it more difficult for Canada to main— tain its policy. which is simply one of refusing to become emotionally involved over Cuba. But this cannot be helped. Our attitude, and those of the other western allies, has been that peace can never be secured by this means. Freedom of trade is a. fundamental political philosophy which Canadians see no reason for discarding in this case, and this would seem to be what Mr. Martin was implying in his guarded state. ment on the subject.

HIGHWAY DISCOURTESY

Sir. -—— As tourists from Que- bec. we have. for the past eight days. been enjoying the seen-i ery. fine food and hospitality i of the people in this province. 1 But. yesterd ay, on a piece of i construction road somewhe re between Sum'merside and Char- lotietown. our confidence was ‘ somewhat shattered.

All people who drive cars ne- come acustomed to the fact i that there are a few poorly eq- uipped jugheads who also drive cars and that they are sooner or later bound to meet, them. Such was the case Tuesday on this construction road. This person had allow me to re- main in front of him on the neg- uivar highway. but as econ as we were on the unpaved part. he immediately gunned his motor and swung out past me to get by. Worse still. the road had be€n watered down to stop the dust from spreading. This created a gumbo. a term well understood by folks in western Canada.

The rest can be well imagi- ned. 1 had the window down .on my side for air and suddenly. with no warning, a large cloud of this red cozy stuff came fly- ing through the open space onto my face. my shim. my shorts and finally. all ovar the cell i n g and upholstery of my car.

The latest theory is that the

On standing. for ex- ample, pressure from the weight of the y presses upon 't he softer cartilage which exudes a liquid that. looks like synovial fluid.

I have 9 dance that this Government will lmple-i ment an intelligent progressive' immigration policy before next election.

I agree with much that has1 been advcated by responsibiei editorial writers lamenting thei fact that immigration is lagg-i ing behind what the country] can afford in the number of i immigrants we are letting in at 5 present. I agree that the nomy of the country warrants I immigration. . agree that there is a need for i revision of our all too protectio- ‘ nist regulations now in force.

I am also of the opinion that in the past the Immigration Department has been unduly harsh in the interpretations of

restrictions pa

has bee n due to a shortage of competent officials at examin- ing points abroad. I favor the Widening of sponsored immig- rants to include not only wives and children but of brothers. sisters. cousins and nieces of established immigrants.

I have recommended to the Minister that the wives of ms. turaii zed Canadian citizens 0. mean of age or by living in isolated places, have not been able to master the English or French' langu- age, should be granted a certi-

of citizens help. I believe also that applicants for citizen- r

other reasons should be given an opportunity to have their case reviewed by an independ- ent tribunal. My recommenda- tions include a reduction of the waiting period from 5 years to 8. These

othu' recom- mendations are being studied and I am confident that chan- ges in both the Immigration and Citizenship Acts will be appro- ved before this 26th Parlia- ment will have concluded it
