4 WED, NOVEMBER 17. 1965. For Freer Trade

One of the topics slated for dis- cussion at the Atlantic premiers’ con- ference which opens here on Mon- day is the proposal of a free trade afea for these Atlantic provinces and the New England States. In view of the practical obstacles in the way, this will of necessity be an academic dis- cussion. If we could be conceded the right to make our own regional trade arrangements it would undoubtedly Help us economically. But we can- not see how free trade—or even freer trade than the trade we now enjoy with our neighbors to the south—can be made effective except as a nation- al policy. However, it is a matter of growing concern in this part of Can- ada, and an expression of the joint

":

views of our Atlantic government~

leaders on the subject should carry some weight at Ottawa.

» We note tHat a broader scheme of this kind has been mooted in the Un- ited States bv Jacob K. Javits, New York Republican senator, who sug- gests—not a regional arrangement but a new free trade area including the whole of United States and Can- Ada, if Britain fails in another attempt , join the European Common Market.

3 The senator’s ambitious alternative

to Britain’s entry into the ECM would Be open to members of both the Com- fon Market and the European Free Trae Association, and also to New Zealand and Australia.

* The Javits proposal at first glance ould appear to be one. that the Unit- éd Kingdom might find attractive if Bhe door finally were closed to her Gnembership in the European Com- fmon Market. It fails to reckon, how- évr, with Britain’s involvement in: the €ommonwealth and its British pref- #rential tariff system. This is of im- ‘Portance not only to Britain and to €anada but to a number of associat- @d and less-developed countries.

= Canada has hedged in her ap- roach to the Kennedy Round of tariff Begotiations by rejecting the U.S. pro-

aie tee Ve dian | in the western provinces, avoided ref-

~

erence to anything of a compulsory nature in the federal proposal, mak- ing it appear, indeed, that there was a wide freedom of choice in the mat- ter.

Again, the target date for the plan, as announced by the Prime Minister and Health Minister Judy LaMarsh, was July 1, 1967. They were em- phatic on this point. But here again a note of uncertainty has crept in. In one of his campaign speeches Trade Minister Mitchell .Sharp said the gov- ernment might not be able to provide a national medical care plan by 1967

_ becatise of a shortage of nurses and

doctors.

This, of course, was no new de velopment; the shortage existed just as glaringly when the target date was set. It merely underlined a difficulty of which serious students of Canada’s medical structure have been aware all along. It has been pointed out, too, that the enormous administrative structure that will have to be created within the federal and provincial civil services means that any serious at- tempt to get the plan launched by July 1, 1967, will be a rushed and frenzied affair. But Mr. Sharp’s statement was the ‘first and only in-

| dication of governmental awareness of

otection of this country’s more |

be of linear tariff cuts—for the

fulnerable industries—and might be i@xpected to shy away from any free dade arrangement that would ex- e the Canadian market to open and Il-scale competition from the Unit-

these obstacles. Must we wait two more months to learn whether he was merely voicing his own opinion or speaking with full regard to the prin- ciple of cabinet solidarity? Surely a clarification of this point at least would be in order from the Prime Minister.

Next Question, Please

An issue which provoked a lot of controversy in the election campaign was the cost of cars under the new Canada-U.S. automobile agreement. Mr. Pearson was insistent that despite Tory arguments to the contrary the savings to the manufacturers under this deal were actually being passed on to the consumers, or would be in next year’s prices. But how much

| does a new car really cost? And what,

for that matter, is the consumer real- ly interested in?

The- Financial Post takes a hard look at these questions, which were lost sight of in the spate of campaign— oratory and are prompted by the fact, well-known to every car owner, that the purchase of a new car us ‘ually involves a turn-in allowance for his existing model. -That price var- ies with the make of car, its condi- tion, the anxiety of the dealer ‘to séll and, possibly, with what everybody concerned had for breakfast that day.

This, to small or great degree, ob- secures completely any theoretical

. “real” price on the new-car. In all

such cases, the price that matters to

the buyer is the difference he has to |

pay between old and new.. And, as the Toronto financial pa-

per concludes, whether this year’s

“basic” price of cars is above or be- low last year’s, the truth is most buy- ers will pay more for their 1966 models, More and more Canadians

want extra features or accessories, | whatever the additional cost, in the

States, Britain-and -the-European—

ntinent. = The Javits proposal, however, has

aegat tariff reductions over a 90-year period with a $10 million fund ito’ assist industrial countries-with fong-term structural economic prob-

ms. It is, at least, indicative of the

-® Notes Of Uncertainty

Since Parliament will not open un- "

til January 18, wouldn’t it be helpful if the government issued a revised policy statement on the subject of its medicare program? The details, of course, will be made known when Par- liament meets; but some questions arose during the course of the cam- paign with regard to the general ap- plication of the plan, and there is no reason why these should not be dis- posed of authoritatively in the mean- time. *

Will the plan be compulsory, as first outlined, and what assurance does Ottawa have that this will prove agreeable to the provinces? Ontario, for example, is said to have grave res- ervations on this point and, officially at least, favors its own voluntary scheme which was announced some months ago. In Alberta, Premier Manning has been vehement in his opposition to any form of compulsion and has given no indication of a

clude not only a range of engines but such exotic items as electric seat warmers, automatic load levelers (for fat passengers”), tilting and-telescop- ing steering wheels, and remote-con- trol trunk locks; With no trouble at all, consumers can order extras that

least one-third and that goes for the small models as well. as the block- long luxury yachts that jostle for road space.

No doubt there will be some con- sumers who will appreciate the sav- ings that come to them—if they come —curtesy of the Canadian car pro- ducers and the Canada-US. auto agreement. But to the majority of purchasers money ‘obviously seems

less important than the latest in com- fort and gagetry.
