Blundering Along

pressed the hope that by calling Parliament to meet on Aug. 29—to stave off a threatened nation-wide Strike on Aug. 26—‘“the ‘knowledge, that railway legislation is to be pre- sented at once, with the expectation that it will be passed into law just as soon as possible, will be a new factor that will assist in arriving at a volun- tary settlement.” But, if current ef- ‘forts at mediation “should unhappily fail,” the government will make pro- posals to resolve the dispute and also ae transportation legislation ‘which will “take into account a number of — matters, including recommendations of the MacPherson commission, that have a relationship to the earning capacity of the railway companies. ‘Y

. This is the substance of govern- ment policy on the subject, if it can be called that; and one can only wonder why it wasn’t announced weeks ago, when negotiations be- | tween the railway-companies and the unions were reaching a deadlock. In- stead. of doing so, the government saw fit to interfere in two other wage - settlements on the basis of a 30 per | cent increase, | ‘in blatant disregard of its own warnings against “exploiting | thé bargaining positions which the | present boom presents to so many in | this country.” Now it is the railway unions that are demanding this con-. cession, and the question of any | relationship )to earning capacity has | gone by the board.

_| When Parliament does meet, this phase of-the question should get a thorough airing. But just how long will Parliament be able to sit on this occasion? A writer in the Financial

‘ Post points out that, by an unhappy €oincidence, both the Commons and © Senate chambers are due to be oc- tupied by the 12th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference for a week at the end of September. It would prove awkward if the House is in ses- sion then, since it would necessitate either a hastv rearrangement of con- ference plans or ® week’s adjourn- ment.

"Meanwhile, the Prime Minister himself is slated to attend the meet- ing of Commonwealth prime ministers in London, Sept. 6-13, when matters of pressing Commonwealth concern are to be discussed. This circum- stance alone, surely, would have war- .

“ranted prompter—action—in recalling — Parliament to cope with the threat which now faces the country.

The Same Old Cry

‘Canada's anti-dumping regulations, which Britain in particular finds so irksome. are expected to come under challenge this autumn at the Kennedv round of tariff negotiations -in Geneva. The growing realization that | the trade negotiators are now ap- proaching the decisive months of discussion is reflected in some rather frantic warnings being addressed to the Canadian government by interest- ed industrial groups.

‘The most recent is reported to be a submission to the Canadian, tariffs and trade committee by the Shoe Manufacturers’ Association Can- ada, which insists that, footw ear be placed on the reserve list hecause of ‘the. danger of disruption in the in- | dustry and “bearing in mind the fact of interchangeability” in the product. because of its ‘functional purpose.’

No doubt. comments a writer in the Winnipeg Free Press, this is true. Shoes are functional and interchange able in the sense intended by the shoe manufactuers. But the same dlaims can be made for other pro- ducts. as well. If all such goods are.to be placed on the reserve lists. the scope for negotiations in Geneva: would be too meagre,{o justify the

that they are up against the lower wage structures and living standards of overseas countries, but here again the same argument could be applied to nearly all industries seeking tariff protection. The Free Press writer carries it to its only logical conclusion when he says that if it. is proper that a Canadian industry should be protected against low wage rates in foreign countries, the United States--which has the highest wage rates in the world—would. be _per- fectly justified in maintaining high protective tarrifs against everybody, including ‘ourselves. With no conces- sions the watchword in Washington, there could be no Kennedy Round. In fact, there could scarcely be ‘much world trade at all.

Underground 1 Tests

The event hasn't received much publicity. but there is.no-doubt that eight of the world’s militarily smaller nations were speaking for. mankind's conscience when they called -upon the United States and the Soviet Union to. stop underground nuclear testing. This is what Brazil, Burma, Ethiopia, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Sweden and the United Arab Repub- | lic did recently in Geneva.- Concern- ed over the continuation of nuclear- testing, the development of ever more ‘dangerous weapons, and ie failure of the world to make‘ any real pro- gress toward the control of nuclear arms, these eight have asked Amer- ica and Russia to halt. underground tests in the same manner that a water in 1963.

At the same. time, but not by name, they told Communist China and France that they were ‘greatly concerned” that these latter were still carrying on atomic tests_in the air.. Thus, in short, they asked that all the atomic nations (except Britain- which ts earrying on no tests) think about the consequences of their actions, stop what they are doing,

and direct their money and “efforts i.

into healthier channels.

To what effect “such warnings from ‘the’ militarily lesser powers? One can easily take a cynical atti- tude on this point. But it is wrong, argues the Christian Science Monitor, to believe that the: demands of. the « non-nuclear nations carry no weight. Washington and Moscow are well aware that the eight speak not merely for themselves. but for the nearly twenty times -their number of non- nuclear lands and areas which deeply deplore the atomic arms race. Furthermore, America and Russia have themselves come to see that this + race is a fruitless waste of time, money, energy, scientific facilities and goodwill. ann

West Germany's chancellor Ludwig Erhard has been warn- ing his countrymen that they're in danger of catching the so- called English disease, — that chronic economic malady.

The reaction in London, how- ever, is that England is a clear winner over West Germany in the scope of its economic’ prob- ee fos just as it was in world championship football a few ; weeks ago.

In citing Britain as a_ horii- |ble example, Erhard declared: | “If -we let things drift, then the same is botind to happen to

us—namely, a wage freeze, a price freeze, a significant rise in bur cost of living, even par- tial control’ of foreign ex- /Change,” ° - i | West GermanAtrends, as out- |lined by. Erhard, seem tame in British ears. German wages

OTT AWA REPORT

Sees Socialism As Disentegrating, Doctrine

‘Robert N Thompson — M.P., national leader of the Social Credit movement, discusses pri- vate enterprise versus scialism in today’s. guest- column:

If we are to prevent ourselv- es from being completely’ en- -gulfed and swamped-within an all-embracing socialistic ~ selfare State, ‘we must_re-establish the

ancient virtues of courage, hon-_| > esty,

thrift and industry in the minds and hearts of the Canad-

ian people. We must somehow |

reverse the present trend.

There was 4 time when it was - fashionable to produce -and give quality to the job> We once had codes and standards of excel- lence. Today, professional radi-

cals-are trying to break down

the cult of excellence which con- tributed so much to the founding of this country. These profession- al radicals, through political ex- pression, have set up a world- wide destructive trend-which panders to mediocrity and glor- ifies second-raters.

Such a disintegrating doctrine can only bring economic disast- er. It will not replace personal skill and competence. As a re- sult of such philosophical ap- the fountains and springs, out of which economic “progress and high productivity develop, eventually dry up.

What is the remedy? What can be done to revive a sense of re- sponsibility?

The remedy should start with | the training of- youngsters at the-| mother’s knee and in the schools The goal should he to rekindle popular enthusiasm for the vir- tues of self-reliance and self- | help. It should become fashion- able again for men everywhere to give a full day’s work for a day’s pay— enabling the indivi- dual to derive inner satisfaction by knowing that he has contri- | buted to the national heap of goods and services as much as he has taken out.
