it operates. It will not do for the af- |

fairs of an industry basic to each state. to drift into the hands of an inter- national committeé of union and management. But Canada, unfor- tunately, has already given credence to this concept. The federal govern- ment negotiated with the major auto-

~ mobile companies almost as though

they were a government themselves.

|. The UAW ambition now calls for

* similar treatment,

Or does it?: ‘More immediately im- . portant than‘ sovereignty is the po tential -effect-of wage parity on the rest of the Canadian economy. Cana- dian auto workers now receive 40 to 50 cents an hour less than their fel- low unionists to the south. This can

~be-taken-as-a-reasonable guide to the | jy

* disparity which exists in almost-every major industry and line of endeavor which is practiced on both sides of

| the border'.

The Canadian adintes. which generally boasts a lower rate of pro-

| ductivity per man hour than that of’

posed by Nigeria will meet in Lagos | | type of wage increase and remain’

~next week, and it is likely to be one of cardinal concern ‘to all members of the association. The Common- wealth, indeed, appears to have reached the parting of the ways on the Rhodesian issue.

There has been growing “fesent- ment in Britain at the intransigent attitude of the Commonwealth .gov- ernments in Africa:on- this matter, which came to a head when they al- lowed themselves to go off half-cock- |

ed at the Addis Ababa conference of. |. ~< the Organization for African—Unity..

There they joined with non-Common- wealth participants in approving a resolution calling on-all members to

~ Jpreak relations with Britain if the Wilson government hadn't “crushed” :

the Rhodesian rebellion by Dec. 15. » In the end, it-turned out that only six members, including two Common- wealth partners—G hana and Tan- zania—actually carried out the reso-

lution; but the decision to approve it.

was a dismal blunder. ‘

The reaction of the British press. and public to the Dec. 15 deadline is

yoted by a London-correspondent-

- the Winnipeg Free Press, who. thus sums up the growing sense of dis- enchantment in the Commonwealth experiment which seems to be settling aver the country:

* “Painfully aware that Britain's

’ gttachments were a hindrance to the

"pursuit of ‘self-interest during the

‘Brussels negotiations for entry into the mie: Common Market, dis- turbed by the spectacle of British governments having to walk a tight- rope. at successive prime ministers’ conferences, annoyed by | the Afro- Asian grumblings that have served as ' @ backdrop for Britain’s attempts to

=.

“and constantly mindful that the Com- | - the ill-fated, Hong Kong expedition— _

‘ Monwealth costs the country a great deal-of — the British_people—| -gfeem to be concluding that this ~- strange and unwieldy association isn’t worth the trouble. What seems to Have happened, in short, is that Britain’s African partners have final- ly placed a political tag on the Com- monwealth and the British have demonstrated that they just aren't wats to pay.”

- Prime Minister Wilson, of course, will not speak in this blunt way when he goes to Lagos. next week, as he intends to do. But when-he addressed ©

» the United Nations recently he made

. it clear that African anger at Britain, understandable: though it might “be;— would. not_be allowed to deflect his

government from its chosen course. .

:On- this point he may be expected to stand firm. And we may expect, too, that he will have full support from Mr. Pearson, who also has stated that he will attend. How far the African leaders are prepared to compromise

is anyone’s guess; but it would seem +

—that-if-a—crisis is - to: be“averted, it will have to be on Britain’s terms.

Auto Pact Fruits

_ The fruits of the Canada-U.S. °

‘auto pact’ were never very apparent

-in this part of the country. But some- thing~has * ped up in connection .

with this deal that could concern-all of us very much. That is the drive under way by the United Automobile Workers to ach i¥ve international wage parity on the basis of the auto

agreement. Indication that the UAW | ' wants to close the gap between Cana- | dian and U.S. wage'scales immediate- |

ly came from’a-high-level conference: held this week in Windsor. An inter- national wage scale would be sought s0 that each company would give like

“terms to employees on both sides of ;

the border.

As thé Hamilton: Spectator well. says, an industry as basit to the economy: as automobile manufactur- ing must surely be dealt with inside

path » 8

the U.S., simply ¢annot absorb this

even remotely competitive. Yet, if the auto workers achieve parity, the other unions in Canada are going to immediately exhibit desire to attain - the same profitable goals. _.

This Canada simply could not en- dure for more than a few years with- out being forced into some form of full economic union with the United States. Whatever the pros and cons

able that it should be forced on us in this ‘manner. . ~ The, Hamilton paper urges’ the

governments of both Canada and the

United States to take careful note of this situation. The ultimate réspon- sibility for -preventing continental bargaining lies-with them. Even if this. means dismantling the auto “agreement, it is maintained, the-idea’ should be quelled at the outset. The Canadian government, which. took the initiative in establishing the agree- ment, and which has the most to lose _ from this form of internationalism, has a particularly heavy respon-

-for—|— sibility. .

Something it hadn’t bargained for,

of course; but.which might well have |

been foreseen had the bargaining been done more expertly.

They Earned It — According to reports from Ottawa, Canada’s Hong Kong veterans are to be given a new pension deal, early in 1966. A preliminary report on their problems was recently submitted to

- Veterans Affairs Minister T eile t,

based on a two-year survey by--the Canadian Pension Commission. The. survey found ample grounds for con- cluding that'a new pension status for these veterans was overdue. ~

t show at the su

now “numbering. -only..- 1,100—had more , social and economic problems than other veterans. They also had more medical disabilities and inferior dental health. Significantly, :mofé¢ ‘deaths occurred-from_coronary dis- “ease among them than would have

been expected among Canadian men

of their age group. Earlier studies -

showed: they suffered the highest in- cidence of blindness of any Canadian — military unit.’

The report was received by Mr. Teillet just prior to Christmas, the 24th anniversary of the day when Hong Kong fell to the Japanese. The ~1,975 Canadian servicemen, from the, Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal. Regiment. of Canada,-reached Hong Kong in Movember, 1941, shortly be- fore the island was attacked. For. 17 days, the Canadians fought gallantly, resisting. the invaders, despite a lack of proper equipment and sufficient ‘training. When they fell on Christ- mas day, more than 300 of their -numbers.had.__been..lost.. The. others “had to endure the physical and psy- chological effects of long imprisgn- ~ ment by the Japanese.

The veterans who remain. deserve

a new pension deal. Why it should:

have taken them so long to get it is the ‘Surprising thing.
