It assumed that people who are different from the majority of Canadians wouid inevitably be doomed to pov- erty. BASIS OF POLICY * The Conservative policy now being implemented assumes that everyone -should equal chance to enter Canada and, having -met the qualifica- tions for admission, has an equal chance to suc¢eed.

Behind the unprecedested tar- iff - ‘bargaining proposed by President Kennedy is a grow- ing belief among some of _ his aides that eventually the entire Western alliance should be turned into one giant free trade | area,

‘The-far - reaching proposa!s Kennedy placed before Congress would reduce by ofe-half but not eliminate the hard-core of American protectionism. ~

For example, U.S. imports of clocks and watches bear a tar- ‘iff of 50 per cent: coal tar products, 30 per cent; toys and sporting .goods, 29 per cent; jewelry, 45 per cent; clay pro- duets, 33 per cent.

REPLY TO MR. PONKIN

Sir,— A letter from corres pondent George R. Ponkin ap- peared in'your paper a few days ago, claiming that Tommy Dou- gias, leader of the New Democ- ratic party, was lying when he announced that the Canadian standaxd of living had dropped to third place, yielding second place to Sweden.

Mr. Ponkin apparently got his information from Month", a journal of question- able merit with an obvious poll- tical axe to grind. Mr. Douglas was quoting a report by the Na- tional Institute for Social and Economic Research of Great Britain, an organization with an undisputed-reputation for objec- tive investigation. This re
