Misdirected Labors

It. is doubtful if anything but

' sconfusion has resulted from the labored efforts of the federal fin- ance department to show that Of- tawa spends more money than it collects in every province except Ontario. A raft of information on this subject—~10 pages of explan- ation and 12 footnotes to an elabor- ate table. of allocations—was pre- sented in the Commons last. week by Mr. Gordon at the request of Leon Balcer. Quebec leader of the Conservative caucus, v.ho wanted to know where Quebec stood in rela- tion to the other provinces in this matter.

It was found. according to thc. system followed. that for every $1 in federal revenues collected in Que- bec in the 1061-62 fiscal year. Of- tawa spent approximately $1.13 in that provinre. The same was true of British Columbia. For every $1 collected in the other provinces. this is what thcy received in the form of federal expenditures: New- foundland $2.61. Prince Edward Is— land $2.70. Now Scotia $2.01. New

- Brunswick $2.03, Ontario 85 cents. Manitoba $1.35. Saskatchewan $2.02. and Alberta $1.120.

Thus. according to the system used by the department, five of the provinces benefited from federal expenses which were double or more the revenues collected in those provinces. They were Newfound- land. Prince Edward Island, N o v a Scotia, New Brunswick and Saskat- chewan.

But as Mr. (iordon said in tabling the figures. alternative methods of calculating the allocations could show “significantly different re— sults." This would apply in calculat- ing defense spending among the provinces. in dealing with the ONE deficit, the debt charges in the form of interest and payments to bond holders. the apportionment of fed- eral revenues from sales and excise taxes. the question of corporation in- come tax collected at the head office of a company which does business in more than one province. etc.

' “The most important comment

i on the table." Mr. Gordon caution-

5 ed. “is that it. provides only an esti-

. mate and that the results should be

used with caution.” The trouble is that they will not be used with cau- tion in political wrangles over fut- ure provincial allocations of federal revenue. and that they will work to the further detriment of the

"have not“ proyinces in seeking a

fairer division of these revenues.

‘ Apart from other considerations.

there is the question of tariff sub- sidization which a few of the favor- ed provinces enjoy at the expense of the outlying provinces Mr. Gordon himself. it will be recalled, headed

a commission some years ago which

reported on the cost of these sub— sidies to our basic producers.

It would be better, in this case, if his department had simply re- ported that its computers were in- capable of getting to the bottom of Mr. Baker’s question, and let it go at that.

The Chamber news bulletin cites in this connection the May 1964 survey of 'the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, showing that the propor- tion of households in Canada with cars climbed to 74 per cent from 72.4 per cent in 1963. About 12 per cent of the households have two or more. The percentage of homes with telephones increased to 88.1 per cent from 87.3 per cent a year earlier and television sets were in 91 per cent of Canadian homes com- pared with 90.8 per cent in 1963. Since there are about 4.555.000 households in Canada it appears that only 410.000 are without television.

96 per cent of households were equipped with radios. Homes with automatic washers increased to 20.7 per cent from 18.3 per cent. and two-thirds of all households use electricity for cooking. up from 64 per cent in 1963. Some 95 per cent of the homes had electric refriger- ators against 94.2 of the preced- ing year. and the percentage of home freezers climbed to 20.4 per cent from 17.7 per cent last year.

These increases offord evidence of an increasing standard of living but they should not. as the Chamber bulletin says. provide a basis for complacency. They go to show that there is more than enough sur- pllls wealth. if properly shared. to satisfy the requirements of all Can- adians. But Mr. MacEachen’s warn- ing still stands. Until poverty and the threat of poverty is removed from all our citizens. there is still much to be done.

()ur own past experience with liquor restrictions will enable us to relish the irony of the situation in Mississippi. as reviewed in the New York Times. It seems that it is illegal to manufacture, distribute or possess liquor there. but that doesn't stop the state from putting a tax on it. But thc system has run into fresh complications.

95 per cent of the liquor con- sumed in Mississippi is spirited (a good word!) in from neighboring Louisiana. where the tax on out- bound liquor is low and the boot- legging is easy. It was a profitable arrangement for all: Louisiana got the "export" revenue, the bootleg- gers their sales. and Mississippi could slap an “import tax” on every bottle.

Then Louisana stopped using tax stamps and a whole new profitable world opened up for the bootleggers. but at Mississippi‘s expense. Since nearly all bottles now would be without the stamps. revenue agents could not tell which were “import- ed" and which were not, and thus would not. be ableito impose the “im- port” tax.

Faced with revenue losses esti- mated in the millions. Mississippi tax officials last week clarified the situation. more or less, by putting a new regulation into effect. Here- after Mississippi bootleggcrs must affix tax stamps. cheerfully sup- plied by the Louisiana department of revenue. to every bottle so Miss- issippi tax agents can tell the dif- ference between the strictly illegal "imported" liquor and the really strictly illegal “unimported” kind.

This is the fag end of what the late former President Hoover once described as the “noble experi- ment" of Prohibition. It’s getting weirder and weirder in its man- ifestations as it passes into the limbo of ignoble failures.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The 29-member House of Com- mons committee on privileges and elections, says a CP report. was un- able to meet Monday evening be- cause the required quorum of 10 members didn't show up. Eight Liberals. including the chairman. were present. but no members from other parties. How long is the public going to stand for this kind of thing?

The new British Labor govern- ment wasn't put in by the English at all. say the Scots and Welsh. If England had a parliament all to it-

self. it would have returned 261

COnaervativea compared with 246 Labor members in the last elec- tion. The Liberals elected in Eng- land numbered three. This would have given the Tories an over-all

majority of 12. e Scots and Welsh changed the ales return- ed 28 Labor mom to Westmin-

A CHOICE AND AN ECHO

OTTAWA REPORT By Patrick Nicholson

Seeking World Peace Through World Law

The World Federalist move- ment is gaining support on Par- liament Hill. and recently made

' maintenance

a show in strength at an inter- .

view with our Foreign Minister.

Hon. Paul Martin Two groups make up

movement. The “World Feder-

alists of Canada" is a citizens .

movement. with chapters in many communities across Can- ada. The “World Federalist Par- liamentary Association" is not directly affiliated—in fact many of its sixty members. including Senators. MP5 and Cabinet Ministers. feel that it should be completely independent.

It is an all-party non-political association; Miss Pauline Jew- ett, Liberal MP for Northumber- land. Ontario. is its president, Conservative George Chatter- fon. MP for Victoria. and Geor- ges Lachance. Liberal MP for Montrcal-Lafontainc. are vice- presidents.

Recently the Parliamentary Association arranged a confer- ence with Hon Paul Martin. at which the citizens group pre- sented a proposal advocating a "Canadian initiative strengthening the United Ni- tions Peace-Keeping Function."

DIFFERENCES APPARENT he Parliamentary Associa- tion has as its aim. in simple language. the strengthening of the United Nations ' tion. The citizens group more frankly advocates world peace through world law. Thus there is a difference of appeal, and a significant difference of aim.

The Parliamentarians, with me '

wisdom of politicians. see the merit of a sfep- by-' step ap- proach. The other group is seemingly more blunt in its aim of a World Federation.

There is of course another gro - one which this column has frequently supported— and this might be described as a modified step—by-step approach. for it advocates simply a “Fed- eration of the NATO Nations"

or a "United States of Allan- tica." Under present conditions.

there is good sense in the sug- gestion originally made in 19:30 by our Foreign Minister. as he then was. Mike Pearson: “The North Atlantic Treaty might well grow into an economic. or even a political. commonwealth of the western world."

But in 14 years. the lack of mutual trust and confidence among the NATO allies has pre- vented even the first step to wards such a federation. How much less likely. then. is the more extreme step of surrend- ering some of our sovereignty to pool it with all other nations in A world federation?

BOTH STEPS APPEAL

W are bound to our fourteen NATO allies in the event of war. But war is merely an extension of foreign policy. so logically we should cooperate fully even In peace time in our external rela- tions. And if we will work loge- ther in the extremities of: mod- ern warfare. why are we Io foolish as to slit each other; throat In trade

vide cheaper defence and a full- er material life for us all?

Similarly it could be argued that oil men seek peace above everything. Why then will we not all Igree to

seek world peace in perpetuity through world law?

These are oft-heard argu- ment: which elicit bitter dis- Igreements. But then can little diugmmenf with brief submitted to ‘-'-' Martin by the World Fahreth. which toward manent mania-tion "police if can“ specifically

Talk of some kind of econom-

Ic union between the United . Canadian - American the l

States and Canada is in wind again.

Such a step was advocated the other day by Edward Lamb. To Iedo (Ohio) industrialist. w ho controls 26 American and Can‘ adian companies. including Sei- berling Rubber Co. Economic union is the only way to break the “silly. artificial barriers be- tween us." he said.

These sentiments apparently are shared by some Canadians. One recent survey by the Can- adian Broadcast‘ng Corp, and MacLea‘n‘s magazine found that 05 per cent Of those contacted favored economic union with the United States.

Most significant recent devel- opments. however. are the dis- cussions going on between Ot- tawa and Washington about the possibility of free trade in auto- mobiles and perhaps auto parts. These talks were initiated in an attempt to forestall a possible trade war between parts manu- facturers on both sides of the rder.

Such action could escalate m-

‘ e

to a real battle. jeopardizing fr‘adc ' other areas. So. both govern- ments have wisely decided to explore the free trade concept

A good case can already be made for this arrangement. A relatively few producers make identical parts for what. in ef- fect. is a single market Tariff abolition could increase effic- iency of production and market mg. Certain auto manufacturers. and labor representatives, are known to favor the move. al- though details would have to be approved by the General Agree- ment on Tariffs and Trade— an international compact to which both United States 'and Canada subscribe. This should not be an insurmountable problem. how- over

There are too many political and social obstacles involved to make economic union anything but a distant objective. But free trade arrangements can worked out in certain industrial areas to the benefit of produc- rs and consumers on both sid- es of the border.

Relaxation SpOres Heart

By Dr. Theodore R. VIII Dellen

No one wants to join the cor- onary club (composed of mem- bers who have survived a heart attack). But almost every day we see people doing silly things that pave the way for member- ship in this group Anger. for example. is said to be the onw- tion most harmful to the heart.

Some persons go out of their way to engage in a quarrel.

‘ even though it is none of their

business. They :argue over any and all trivialitles until red in the face. Telemetry has made, it possible to obtain electrocar- diograms of astronauts in mace and athetes in competition. This technique can be used in the same way on these angry neo- ple to show them their emotion. al outbreaks are not going un- noticed by the old ticker.

W know individuals who work evenings, week-ends. and

olidaye. They let nothing in- terfere with the job. Many take home a briefcase. so that office problems: occupy them at night and interfere with sleeri. They carry the full load of their occu- pation or profession. usually be.- cause they cannot delegate au- thority or responsibility to sub- ordinates.

Vacation? No time for this. Fishing. hunting. golf, or swun- ming are a waste of time. Some add insult to injury by accent- lng all invitations to parties, banquets. and meetings. In this way they are robbed of any lei- sure that might exist.

This type of stress is not as shocking to the heart as an out- burst of anger or running to catch a train. But. if persistent, it ultimately leaves its mark. There is no letdown even when eating lunch or dinner. Hard work does no harm, provided it is interrupted with periods of rest and relaxation.

Physical examinations also are a waste of time to these eager beavers. "So what?" is their answer when it is suggest- ed their blood pressure or chol- esterol level may be high or that they are overweight and should

. reduce.

'STOMA MEANS OPENING

C. C. writes: My daughter writes that she is being treated for stomatitis. Is this a stomach ailment? RE 7

No --— inflammation of to 9. month. The Greek word stoma

ean opening (mouth). The word stomach comes from the Greek. stomachos This is con- fusing because the early Greeks believed the gullet in the neck was the opening to the stomach.

THE ’I‘EETHING PROCESS

Mrs. N writes: What can be done to comfort 3 teething baby without spoiling him?

REPLY

Let him suck' on a pacifier and give a few love pats from time to time. Babies s u r v iv e teething but many parents make the mistake of blaming all forms of discomfort on this pro- cess when the real cause is a respiratory or other infection.

OVERACTIVE SWEAT GLANDS

Some persons perspire more than others—- even at an early age.

No. but any inflammation or irritation on the colon (colitis) may be accompanied by spasm 0n the other hand. cramping n a result of spasm often follows dietary indlsoretions.. much alcohol. tension. anxiety. and overfatiguc.

Tariff Bargain

By amid Canadian Press

Differences within the Euro-

pean partnerships appear to be I

hardening and signs point to the possibility of an approaching showdown that could cripple the Kennedy Round of world tariff bargaining.

Despite all reports of an im- pending compromise over con- troversial issues. France is still insisting that West Germany agree to a common price on grains before closer collabora- tion can take place within the six»counf.ry Common Market.

It remains doubtful whether the Erhard government ' agree to any such thing before

é

3.400.000 farmers say they won‘t be pushed into taking lower prices for their grain and Er- hard seems lo think he needs the farmers‘ votes to stay in of- fice as chancellor. .

Before the Kennedy Round of bargaining can move ahead. countries participating must submit an acceptable list of items on which tariff bargain- ing will not take place.

At first the United States had insisted that the bargaining em- brace not only industrial prod- ucts but agricultural items as well. Now the US. has realized

that too much insistence may

But France. has indicated un- less Germany makes a firm commitment on grain prices it may not submit its non-negotia- ble tariff list at all.

Behind all the complex ma- noeuvring is French President dc Gaulle‘s attitude that Eu- rope is still paying too much attention to the US. in econom- ics and defence matters.

He wants to sink the multina- Polaris nuclear fleet. he US. and backed by West Germany.

There have been reports that a compromise is in the, wind. West Germany would withdraw its pressure for the multina. fional nuclear force if France would withdraw its for reduc- tion of German grain prices to the level of the rest of the Eu- ropean Economic Community.

Some diplomats now suggest those reports mainly expressed the wishful thinking of the de Gaulle regime. Bonn wants .0 push ahead with the nuclear force. they say‘ It. might agree to some modification in the original plan but not complete abandonment.
