‘ CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Jan. 17, 1968 CASTLEGAR NEWS ‘Hore Tet the press the people’s rights maintain, unawed by influence an’ unbribed by main” Established in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven We Need the American Common Market Foreigners, chiefly Americans, own $14 billion worth of Canada. They own 51 per cent of our manufacturing in- dustry and control 57 per cent of it; they own 65 per cent of our petroleum and gas industry and control 75 per cent of it; they own 59 per cent of our mining industry and control 61 per cent of it. In the course of this huge invest- ment, most of it post-war, they have ‘de- veloped much of the natural resources of Canada into. going concerns, paying wages and dividends.: In brief, if they now own a big slice of Canada, it is a slice that did not exist in any active ec- onomic ‘sense until Hey. came in and de- veloped it. “~The expansion, however, was fin- anced with American dollars. And Amer- ican investors expect a return on their investment. Currently, they’ are taking about’ one quarter of the gross national product of Canada as return on their in- vestment. (This includes interest. on gov- ernment and other bonds as well as div- idends’on stocks.) Some Canadians think that this is too much to be paying out; they say that we should gradually buy out'the American investors, and thus cut down on the huge finance charges. -: Here is where the Austerity program enters ‘the picture. To buy out the Amer- ican investor requires. money, ‘and Money, some say, can be accumulated only through saving. If, through Auster- ity, Canadian spending on luxuries and non-essentials can be cut down, then presumably ‘the money people have left over will go into savings and can be used for investment in Canadian industry, buying out the American investor. Can- adians save (and invest) only 5.9 per cent of their d ble: income, ed t 7.3 per cent for Americans. We must be forced, it is said, to equal or even sur- pass ‘the American level of saving if we are ever to get our industry back in Can- adian hands. The Austerity program is intended to force us\to save more. “." There are a number of things wrong with the reasoning behind Austerity. Only a few can be cited here. First, it will be a long, hard pull just to buy } pack the existing industrial plant; and mean- while where will the money -come from to finance . the” arenas neces ary “to a since wage earners “are notoriously poor VICTORIA REPORT Too Many conference ‘seemed to be blaming lawyers for all the messes he could sce all ‘around about him. He muttered something about there being too many lawyers in elected bodies, Lawyers, it seemed to me he was saying, so into politics be- cause’ they're always on the look- out for plums, like judgeships. L asked the premier if we have too many lawyer MLAs in B.C. Oh no, said the premicr, not in B.C, oF iu the right number (eight out 52). The premier said he wouldn't like to see any. more legislative seats. Ah—go the premier intends to add a couple of seats before the neyt election — in territory” he believes to:be sound Soctal Credit. ‘The premier'll not be taking chan- ces on any territory of wlilch he's not sure. That’s the way of politics. In the Hause of Commons, said the premier, there are far too many | P! lawyers, so many, they're falling all over 'themselves:'and ‘getting. us into ‘these awfal messes. .; Tcould see he was blaming two. lawyers’ for. what he says‘ is the Ottawa mess — Liberal Louis St. Savers, and fi are savers (and i will in- Laurent and Ce evitably mean a push. for lower wages and higher’ profits — to put the money in the hands of those who will invest it. Third, the -entire problem results ‘from an unnatural and antiquated division be- tween the Canadian and American econ- omies, The third point is the salient one. When’ are our governments going to learn from thé European experience, and begin to build an American Common Mar- ket here on this continent? — The Prospector, Nelson Do you know Mr. Fred Gibson There’s a good chance that you do. He lives and works right here. He gets around quite a lot and he knows this town very well. That’s part of his job. He’s the manager. of your local branch of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. And he’s a good man to know. For help with financial mat- ters-or for sound. advice, on anything to do with banking, he’s the man to see. If you haven’t already met him, by all means call in soon. He’ll be glad'to see you.

Governments, said the premier, should be head- ed by businessmen, not lawyers. We're hesitant to: talk,” said hardware merchant Bennett. The Premier, you see, has a sense of humor, can poke fun at himself, He knows full well there's not a lawyer ‘who can out-talk him, He intends to keep’ it that way. Trying to get away from allt those messes I asked the premier if he agrees with Socred president George Hahn, who says: “We do- n't care what kind of pubicity we get as‘ long as we get it.” No, said the premier, he most certainly does not agree—he likes fair publicity,“ but doesn’t often get it, and that’s why he has his own radio program (paid for by ad- ‘Castlegar. : Library The premier at a recent press mirers), so he can. tell the real John Die-| Lawyers! story, seeing how newspapers per- secute him and mislead the people, though he dearly loves and admir- es_and respects all reporters who go to his press conferences, A smooth one, our premier! Actually, I think the premier does agree with Hahn, Otherwise he wouldn't have sald: “Tell Stra- chan I laughed.” He made head- lines on that one, got his picture in “e “Ropatre to: all makes of TVs, Radlos, Phoncgtaphs. @ Electrical Appilances, @ Applications for TY cable hook- ups made here. “Years of — experien is our guarantee | of * dependable service.” ELECTRONIC SERVICES: 365-3331 hires = 365-4601: the paper, It meant nothing—but the premier likes his ‘name lights, even though he knows the play's not so hot.
