The daily newspapers are currently having a heyday over our country’s dol- Jar investment ‘situation. But this is noth- ing new. The encouragement of foreign invest- ment in Canada is older than Confeder- ation. Turn to almost any page of our his- tory books and you will read of it. Long before ‘the day of Wolfe, Frontenac was continually pleading with the government of France to invest in Quebec. British rulers continued the pattern. | Much of the history of the Canadian Pac- ific Railway .is told in terms of the cap- Hundred and Forty-Seven ors, Every year they plant their. invest- M ment and each year they reap a money crop. The investment grows each year as does.the crop. ‘Although we claim to have:been a self-governing country for almost a cen- ury, in financial matters we are’ little short of being a colony. We tend to go along with the econ- omists who say that foreign investment in Canada is a good thing. But our: national policy of inviting foreign investment at all costs has ‘created a form of. national negativism, Our gov- er in encouraging the foreigner, in-hand journeys of its found to Eng- land in search of more funds. And it goes on today. During our crit- jeal dollar crisis last year, our politicians -— the ones on the other side, that is — were wringing their hands for fear- that Canada’s instability would discourage foreign investment. A century of this: since Confedera- tion has turned our country into an equiv- alent of a money farm for foreign invest- Canada Must Trim. The Ottawa Journal was closer to the Diefenbaker government than’ any other Canadian newspaper: and stood with it, almost alone, to the end. But The Journal is too honest a newspaper ‘to distort the facts or.cook the figures. A few days ago it presented facts and figures that. the ordinary citizen, puzzled by the intrica- cies of a new budget, can easily under- stand. St Og Ria Looking back over the fiscal record since Mr. Diefenbaker came to office in 1957, The Journal remarks that “spending _ comes easy to governments; saving, even - in the best of years, seems very. difficult. But national debt is not just a’ stroke of the pen in the accounts. It is a visible and impeding burden that limits what the na- tion is able to do. : “Think of what Canada could do, in extension of social services or in public works, with the $881,008;900 whch Pas to he provided for interest ‘charges on the. public : debt this year, $92, 827, 500 more:;, than“in 1962-63.” : The national debt, as The Journal adds, is. a dead weight, but it was increas- ed. by $709 millions (the fnal Diefenbak defied i in the last year to bring it to. $18,. . 937,000,000. These figures, as The Journal: re- calls ‘them, are depressing. Debt, repre- sénting deficit, was increased by $609 millions in 1958-59; by $413, millions, in 1959-60; by $340 ‘millions in 1960-61; by: $791 millions in 1961-62; by: $709" ‘mil lions “in 1962-63 (when the Diefenbaker It’s Socialism Only i The report which we published last week. itemizing the free services received by the community through the electric department of the Board of Public Altalrs was an eye-opener. An operating levy of at least fines mills would be required to maintain pres- ent village streets and public building lighting if we did not own our own elec- trie distribution system here. So far the local. power distribution system -has been able to provide: these: services while selling its power at. the same cost, or below. similar. service ‘of- fered by competitors.

Last year the debt cost. 14 per cent of the total btidgetary expenditure; hea- Ith, welfare: and social security cost 20 per cent. This cannot go on indefinitely: with debt charges taking more: and more of the national income.” Quite. rightly, The Journal notes that the Pearson government proposes. to in- crease the debt. ‘Not only must it borrow for $585 millions to cover another deficit Lay: Out Kitchen To.
