H, uuun.w..nnntn WEDNE8DAVl'.,NV0V.-Al:-1;; A Newsprint Fallacy It is evident that Canadian news- print producers are under the un- pression that they are in a position to do pretty much as they like in the matter of price increases, since their customers are obliged to "grin and bear it". That may be true en- ough at th-ls particular moment, in view of this country's leading role in the paper making industry; whether t will remain so indefinitely is an- other matter. A news item from Washington quotes Representative Arthur Klein, Chairman of a House of Representatives Interstate and Foreign Commerce sub-committee as saying ”we will set out Nov. 14 on visitis to paper mills in Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama, to see if there are some ways by which we can in- crease domestic supplies so that we will not be at the mercy of the Cana- dian producers." There are two obvious inferences in this statement by Mr. Klein. One is that, in the opinion of the United States Congress, the recent price increases were arbitrary and un- necessary; the other is that Ameri- can paper mills are not, in fact, pro- ducing at full capacity. Actually, this has been no secret over the years. There are vast tracts of po- tential pulpwood in the United States lying idle under the country's great , conservation system, t h e theory being that so long as supplies could be obtained from Canada it would be good business to keep these untouched holdings in reserve. It would be naive, however, be im- agine that there is no way for the American industry to develop be- yond its present scope. From New Zealand, meanwhile, comes word that that country has made a good start in the newsprint business; and the hope is that before long there will be little need for the Canadian product. It should not be forgotten, either, that the Soviet Union is a big news- print producer, and its capacity in that field is expanding all the time. It is possible that, with outside technical help, and perhaps some financial backing thrown in to ex- pedite matters, the Soviet Union could very well develop into a ma- jor exporter of paper. Both the technical help and financial backing could quite englly come from the Un- ited States, especially now that trade barriers between East and West are being taken down. Like the Arabs, who accepted arms from Communist countries because they were unable to purchase them else- where, the United States would be .only too glad to accept newsprint from any country in a position to supply it at an economically fair price. None of this means that Cana- dian newsprint producers are fac- ing imminent and' rapidly-rising competition, with possible loss of lucrative markets. It does mean that the assumption that newsprint users in the United States and some other countries must necessarily and for ever remain dependent on Canadian mills is a fallacy. Realism Ancl Humour The imminent return of Sidl Mohammed Bem Youssef to the throne of Morocco, from which he was driven by the French Govem- merit two years ago as punishment for his nationalistic views, opens a A, new chapter in the history of poll- ,. tical processes. And. since it means a measure of self-government for Morocco, which in local affairs will be under a constitutional momfrchy and in foreign. affairs and defence under the Republican rule of France, it can be said that there is nothing quite lllge it" ; anywhere else in the H eign or domestic, while Morocco is to remain "united" to Continental France; indeed, it s protectorate status, for all practical purposes, will remain very much as it is. Cer- tainly, France is the first Republic to number a monarch among its functionaries. . Somebody is almost sure to sug- gest that, should the monarchy of Ben Youssef, with its newly acquir- ed responsibilities, manage to bring Morocco back to political stability. the same experiment might be tried in France itself. Nor would this be as fantastic as at first sight it may appear; for recent reports from France have indicated a growing dissatisfaction with that country's political system. In addition to much realism. there is a bit of humor in France's decision to restore Ben Youssef to his throne- He was removed from it because he had always wanted Morocco to be independent of France in its internal affairs; he is being restored because he appears to be the only person with the abil- ity to make independence work to the satisfaction of all concerned. He i just as much a nationalist now as he was in 1953. The change is in the French authorities who probably wish they had paid more attention to Ben Youssef's views in the past. Had they done so, much of the bloodshed and turmoil of recent months might have been avoided. EDITORIAL NOTES Buy a Poppy.

O O O The appeal made by Israel's Premier Sharett to American Jews to contribute money for the pur- chase of arms is not meeting with the success that he had expected. The secretary of the American Council for Judaism put his opposi- tion to the appeal this way: "This is l a time when organizations of Ameri- - cans of Jewish faith should make clear that their emotional or hum- anitarian attachment to their co- rcligionists in Israel in no way in- volves them in the political destin- ies or ambitions of the Israeli state itself". 0 I 0 . o .

Norman Smith Associate Editor. Ottawa Journal DJAlx'AlfTA, Indonesia, Oct. 24 -1By Ma1li- I have somewhat put off trying to write of Singa- pore's political situation, for it ll easy to err on such a quick visit preoccupied as we were by the Colombo Plan meeting. But in very rough strokes I'd paint it this way. The Crown Colony of Singapore has a measure but wants more. It doesn't want defence and foreign affairs because it knows it could not finance its duties but it feels it is still too much under London and its aim in the talks to he held in London this Winter is to break for greater freedom. But meanwhile the Communists are making progress in the ad- joining Mzilay Federation and in "peace talks" the Communists have gained some prestige. Here in Singapore City the Communists are infiltrating into the youth of the community in potent strength. The heavy Chinese population which has been hearing of the ”matcrial progress" of the Com- munist regime in China has not shown unbreakable resistance to Communist propaganda here. Not- ably in the schools and universities have the Communists made head- way. Communist-provoked strikes occur daily and foul work's afoot at night as c-vi-ry morning paper testifies by accounts of murder or robbery or vinlcnce. A MAN OF GOOD WILL The present Chicf Minister of Singapo :, David Marshall, is a man of good will, a Jewish Malay- an, an able and eloquent lawyer who himself s.-iys his being in the job is a gcnunhliical ac” t. He ran for llfll('ll '.'I -hnrt whilc back and got in. mid now he's learning the hard ii.-ix of the problem of trying to l'lliIht' on independent un- lfied slate Hill of .1 British colony whose 'pnpHI;ilmn is mostly Chinese, much lnrlinn. some Malay and a mixctl bag of "the rest" including not El lcw old-timer Brit- ish types whn Ivol as did Churchill that it is nnl tlicir job to preside over the ilisiiilvgi-uiimi of the Brit- ish Empire. Mr. Marshall fold inc flatly the Communi. 5 would not gain Singa. pore and that they would not, even if a peace comes in the jungle fighting, be granted political rights to stand for clccfion in Singapore. And Mr. Marshall means what he says. But as a wi” guessing outsider I'd not put the possibility of Communist advance in Singa- pore so slighf. Certainly the general level of living conditions in this crowded Chinese-filled port is not gates and almost every one of them said they could not omy use more aid useruliy but could use twice as much. 'I'he head of the Indian delegat- ion in particular said this em- phatically and he stressed that mere was an urgency to the pro- ject. that time was not on the side of the democracies so long as communism was moving fast- er than democracies. Now perhaps I hear comfortable Canadians saying, "Oh well, those Indians are all half Commies any- way". This is one of those pre- posterous whole lies which some Westerners have been inventing as a sort of protection on their vanity. Because Indians don't always agree with our policies we feel it logical to say they are therefore stupid or Communist or both. The Indian delegate said he'd talk to newspapermen after the conference, and of 15 of us I was the only one from the West, one of three whites. It was an earful to hear the questions. one fiery chap accusing the Colombo Plan of really being a gimmick where- ixv for a few dollars the West could examine the books of the Asian countries and find out their weaknesses and exploit them. Many others, representing the views of their editors and readers, no doubt. expressed varying criti- cisms of the plan, its shortcomings, its leisurely pace, the political "strings" attached. The Indian delegate argued with them brilli- stlixltly and, where necessary best- e y. '1 wished Walter rrls had sitting with me. perh he'd have spoken hereafter on Ca da's party 8 in the Colombo Pl complacency. T0 BLOCK BED DRAIN But I have wandered into the plan only because. it is at least one means of our doing our shax-'e to help a vital place like-Singapore from going down the red drain. After all, Aussie troops are fight- ing in the nearby jungles. Aussie aircraft are spotting from the air, Aussie warships on patrol, along the mutinous coasts. Mr. Harris will reply that Canadians are in NATO. but the reply isn't enough so long as our role in the Pacific Is so meagre and unimuinatlve as it is today. I had ll talk with Malcolm Mac- donald the other day. he visiting from. his new post as High com. missioner to India.

OTTAWA REPORT A Canadian taxpayer has a better chance of becoming a mil- iionaire the hard way than by winning the Irish Sweepsteke.

A dollar millionaire is considered to be a person with an annual income of It least 350,000, which is the conserv- atively-rated interest at 5 percent on one million dollars. . The Green Book, officially en- titled Taxation Statistics. is issued annually by the Departmmit of National Revenue. It contains full details of the sources from which the federal government collected its direct taxes in the year under review. It shows the annual earn- ings and the tax paid by every class of citizens, from the residents of Guelph lo hospital nurses across Canada and to electrical appliance manufacturing companies. The rising sia d .1 of Incomes in all parts of the country is vividly shown by the experience of Leth- bridge. Perhaps thanks to its sugar beet industry. that Prairie ciw boasted the highest average in- come in Canada in 1950, at 38,312 per taxpayer. Three years later. Lethbrldgians were proud to even higher average incomes, reaching 33,322 each.

Now it's usually a simple mat- ter to get rid of the pain by tak- ing a couple of aspirin, empirln compound tablets or other head- ache remedies. But this isn't I wise procedure in the case of recurrent headaches. Most headache remedies are drugs which depress the nervous system. This means that the trouble irritating the nerves is still there, but the signal warning you of the situation is knocked out of working order. The safest thing to do for those recurrent headaches is to see your doctor right away. Let him trace the source of the trouble. For an occasional headache however. two aspirins with a glass ful of water, followed by another tablet in an hour, will usually relieve the pain.
