Patience, Mr. Pearson! It is expected that Mr. Pearson’s motion of non-confirleiice against - ‘the DlefEllbLll(t’l‘ Goveriinieiit will [be voted on lll the House of Coin- .mons today. It is expected, also, that it will fail to carry the major- .ity required to upset the Govern- ment and precipitate another general "3 . election. The Social Crediters. hav- ' ing had their own non-confidence - motion defeated igiiomiiiioiisly, are _"Iiot likely to buck the Liberal one. ‘ Even with the full support of the i New Democrats-——which is problem- ". Itical--this would mean I defeat ”_ for the Liberal motion. ‘ We find it hard to sympatliize 1 with Mr. Pearson in his endeavors I at this time. He dismissed the Throne Speech as a rehash of old stuff from the last Budget; but it was evident. from the start, that he had no intention of supporting it, . whatever constructive measures it 1 may have contained. He said so in '.‘''advance of Parliament's opening. C'What he wants, regardless of what the Tories propose to do, is an elec- tion that will sweep them out of of- fice immediately, and put him and his party in power.

Regardless of whether or not this would be good for Canada, there is the inescapable fact that an election, at this juncture. could have just as uncertain results as the last one. The expense involved, and the upheaval resulting from such a. contest. would be bad for pre-Christ- mas business and for our prospects

. of ii speedy economic recovery.

Vague as the Throne Speech may have been. it did contain an outline of measures helpful to our recovery. But Mr. Pearson doesn't want them discussed in any detail. “Away with them all,” he says in effect; “let’s have a new deal." But he hasn't tipped his hand about his proposed deal at all. This the House is expected to take on faith.

The Conservatives, we agree,. have some embarrassing things to account for, especially with regard to their rosy assurances that all was well during the last election campaign. and their attitude on the subject of Britain’s entry into the European Common Market. But the place to have ii showdown on these and other issues is in the Parlia-

3 merit now in session. , If Mr. Pearson can make his in- ’. T--dictments stick, and get his own T-views about necessary legislation iacross convincingly, he will be in good position to fight another erec- ffftion. But he hasn't done that yet. { life has been talking in a vacuum. - f ‘ ;."_1Ve all know he wants an early elec- Zjfzion: it is harder for us to know ..."i-'.’what he hopes to gain by the Tar- 3} :;tIn Ict he is putting on at this “.3 tfimopportune ‘time.

came within tin-no mum at Old! oth- er. The Russians also hit the moon with one shot and photographed its hidden side with another. Compar- ed with this re~~rd, United States astronauts have logged less than it day in space between them. But, since Sputnik 1, the U.S. has sent dozens of satellites into orbit around the earth and launched long probes into space. Even now a Mariner satellite is heading for a December rendezvous with the planet Venus.

Project Mercury, which included the la u n c h in g of Commander Schirra’s “Sigma 7" yesterday, is to be followed, early next year, bv Project Gemini which will involve a two man space craft and rendez- vous in space. Next comes Project Apollo, with the orbiting of a three man craft around the earth, and a moon landing. which may come in 1967. Plans for the next ten years include such wonders as space buses fer ‘yiiig men and equipment to a 100-ton space station in orbit around the moon.

Now other nations, seeking rec- ognition and prestige, plan to enter space; “to hang”, as one bright commentator puts it, “their own badges of big power prestige in the H

To what ultimate end? Nobody knows. But already school children are reading adventure tales of space, thumbing through encyclo- pedias to find the charts of the planets. High school and college students are planning careers in the burgeoning industry that has grown up to build the stairway to the moon. Both the United States and Russia are betting more and more of their wealth on space programs, nor is it likely they will stop when the lunar goal has been reached.

The spirit of this fantastic race, according to an Associated Press writer, was caught a century ago by the English poet Robert Brown- ing, when he wrote: “Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?” But, surely, Browning was thinking in terms of a different import, cul- turally aiid spiritually. With his conception, umortunately, the space race has about as much to do as a Roman chariot race had to do with the spread of Christianity in the pagan world of its day.

Among The Dead-beats

Russia, as we all know, is the leading dead-‘oezit at the United Na- tions. It is watching on its payments because it refuses to pay out money for activities it claims to be against its own interests. There is reason to believe that it would like to wreck the U.N. setup as it is at pres- ent, and substitute a secretariat; that would be more under control of the Communist bloc.

Its motives are understandable, if not excusable. But how is one to account for the fact that next to the Soviet Union, as a United Na- tions delinquent, stands Chiang Kai- shek’s China? United Nations dues are paid according to size, so that Chiang’s $13.5 million is a bargain when he claims to represent the Chinese mainland as well as his Formosan hideout. And, of course, there is the fact that billions of American dollars have been poured out to keep him and his regime in power. —

This refusal on Chiang’s part to pay his honor bills is beginning to irk Washington, as well it might. It raises the question, as one American newspaper says, “of whether it im-

proves a welcher’s character when

a rich relative cleans up neglected bills. The usual result is the reverse ——with the welcher coming to regard being bailed out as something he's perpetually entitled to.”

Chiang appears to be well en- trenched in th‘-'s state of mind.

”BUT WHERE ARE WE GOING?”

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson

Cost Reduction The Real Challenge

The bogey of Canada's all- 1'oiind high prices was vividly raised by Mr. Gordon Chaplin, the newly-elected Conservative M.P. from Gall. Ontario. in his realistic maiden speech in the House of Commons.

He referred to the risk that Canada might “fall far and fall fast before the onslaught of European and Asiatic competi- tion, along with that of the Un- ited States which we have with us always."

Mr. Chaplin enjoys an envi- able record of happy labour re- lations in the Ontario industry which he directs, Canadian Ge- neral-Tower Limited. His com- pany was a pioneer in introduc- ing plans for employee profit- sharing, for life insurance and also for medical care.

LOWER PRICES WANTED

So he spoke with realism and authority when he told the Commons that “We in this country must increase our pro- ductivity and we must reduce our costs".

A manufacturer‘: costs con- tain three elements, he said. These are raw materials. la- bour. and the tremendous bur- den of taxation. The fruits of increased productivity should not be seized by any one these three; all three should share in the benefits. But there is a fourth element in our com- mercial picture. and we sel- dom mention this one, who should benefit the most.

“I refer to the sonsumer," declared Mr. Chaplin.

In these days of the glaring need and increasing appeal of enlarged trading areas, the threat of cheap foreign compe- tition is the bogey of all work- ers and managements and gov- ernments in those countries which, like Canada, enjoy high living standards facilitated by high wage levels. But cheap competition does not necessar- ily come from low-wage coun- tries. It can also come through low unit costs made possible by efficient processes and by sub- stantial investment of capital in modern machinery. such as Mr. Chaolln urged upon Canada.

In some respects we can now undersell the world. despite our high wages. For example, the aviation manufacturing indus- try in western Europe would not relish Atlantic free trade. because it would be submerg- ed by the greater efficiency of Canadian and American plants. according to the opinion of our high executive’ I sp 0 k e to in England.

Management in Britain is widely reported to favour that country‘: entry into the Euro-

In his best-sell- ing anti-common-market pam- phlet “A choice for destiny", the British historian Sir Arthur Bryant declares that nothing is being said publicly, but in management circles it is clear’- ly understood that the real rea- son for advocating Britain's en- try into the European Common M rket is that the ensuring showdown would restore disci- pline to the worker and prosper ity to the country.

British...Lq-bot: Conference

AlIn

Harve

Y Y i . Canadian Press Staff Writer

The Brighton conference of Britain's Labor party offers a fascinating study in criss-cross- lng political convictions and changing personal Illiances.

It seems almost beyond be- lief. As the party braced for debate the everything was turned inside out

For years, party leader Hugh Gaitskell has waged I patient uphill battle against I vocal left-wing element that bitterly dislikes both Gaitskell‘s person- ality and his orthodox defence policies.

Distaste went so deep that dissidents at I previous party gathering paraded in front the leader’s seaside hotel wav- ing “Galtskell-must-go" posters. NO LONGER NEUTRAL

Now things look oddly differ- ent. With Britain on the brink of entry into Europe.‘ Gaitskell appears to be doing I little brinkmanship in reverse. by moving from I neutral posture to the verge of outright oppo- sitlon.

He doesn't come right out and say he is Igalnst__jolning Eu- rope. It is just that his empha- sis is increasingly on the perils of membership. I-its celebrated internationallsm appears to have drained away. and looks more and more toward the Commonwealth.

This delights his old enemlea and appalls many of his moder- Ite - minded supporters.‘ who see the Common Market Is the

most exciting challenge of mod- ern times.

Thus arises the double-bar» relied Irony of heartfelt ap- plause from such ancient Id- versaries as Michael Foot and Anthony Greenwood, who once demanded his head, in conjunc- tion with more-ln-sorrow-than- in-anger remonstrances from some of his closest political II- lieu.

BLOW ro JENKINS

The new position brings par- ticular pain to Roy Jenkins. I level-headed labor member who heads the party's pro-European faction. Jenkins is one of Gaite- kell’e political Intirnatreo. He is I member of the long-haired “I-fampstead set," criticized by left-wingers Is an intellectual clique pivoting around GIits- kell, and named after the Lon- don district in which he lives.

What must puzzle people like Jenkins is thIt Galtskelrs pres- ent posture seems grotesquely out of character. The Labor party leader inn’! everybody’: idea of the on ing politic- ian, but he is generally given high marks for reasonableness and sincerity of purpose.
