It has run into considerable criticism from businessmen and others, especi- ally those who are critical of the U.S. on defence. by the | Canadian government this year lh ee oder a tae oe undertaken by the U.S. There has-been less outcry against Ottawa's shortfall of income against revenve then has surfaced in the.U.8. Why? Z First, let’s look at a couple of figures, Canada’s deficit — that is, the differ- : ence between the amount of moneyithe government brings iniby taxes and other means as opposed to what it has to spend — started out for the current fiscal year at $10.5 billion. Then, however, the economy fell into deep recession and the latest official © Minister forecast from Finance Lalonde was $23.6 billion. Some officials have predicted that this year’s deficit actually will be $25 billion or more, and there have been published reports that next year Ottawa could be looking at a shortfall of $80 billion. The rule of thumb in comparing the U.S. and Canadian economies is 10 to 1, on the theory that U.S. population is about 10 times greater than Canada's. On that basis, Canada’s potential deficit would be one.third greater than that of the U.S. What does it all mean? Is Canada in danger of going bank- rupt, as might happen in some other countries such as Mexico and Brazil? No way, say the experts. First, Canada has the underlying riches to be able to withstand deficits now being forecast without serious strain on its overall economy. ’ Secondly, the dramatic jump in the Mare that the current recession was going to be a lot tougher than almost anyone had expected 18 months. ago. Because of so-called safety-net fac- tors built into thé economy, a increase in the government's doficit became inevitable. , These include such things as unem- up sharp - become by any one aspect or area of interest, in these commu- nities.

There will be more « income, fewer payments: That should result in. an improved deficit position, ‘eventually, Critics argue basically that a gov- ernment, like a business or a family, can’t keep running up debt. Even-— tually, they say, the government has to pay up. But the argument breaks down be- Villages — such as holding an ‘inter- * national village in the area, partici- pating in the interchange program, as well as in the seminar camps for 17 and 18 ear: olds.

Youth Seminar Camp in Israel and otherwise has been active in the Junior Branch since going to uni- versity. Nadya and I have supported this - project as one of the concrete ways of camp life. A delegation consists of two | boys, two. girls and an adult leader. - The most distinctive feature of the development of ‘the Villages ‘was the decision to limit them exclusively to. 11-year-olds. CISV concluded that 11 was ideal, because children at that-age, though they already carry the stamp. of their respective cultures, are able to accept each other without prejudice. They are also old enough to be away from home and mature enough to understand the purpose -of getting together in an international setting. In the month at camp intensive friendships develop that surmount int- ernational differenees.. Children par- ticipate actively in the village program and enjoy the challenge of communi- cating through mime, gestures, pic- translation. ‘ tures and Since the first chapter was formed in: » Ontario in 1957, cause the hasan advantage over any business or family. It can print money. e If the government leaves the print- ing presses on, wild inflation can result because you get toa many dollars . chasing too few goods. That has been seen recently in Brazil and Mexico, and the classic example in Germany after the end of the First World War. But it’s not that simple. If the government creates money that can be used to generate real wealth in the future, the country benefits. That's the whole point in deficit and bringing about the conditions that make world peace possible. As a photographer I had the pleasure of. attending one international village as “well as a Seminar Camp, "Children’s International Summer Vil- lages (CISV), founded in 1951 by Dr. Doris Twitchell Allen, professor at the, University of Cincinnati, was estab- lished specifically to foster interna- tional understanding and friendships among children at the age of 11. The purpose of Children’s International Summer Villages, Inc. is to pursue its goals in the hope of ac hieving peaceful associations have been éstablished in Ottawa, Ont. (1962), Victoria, B.C. (1965), and London, Ont. (1976). Efforts are continuing to expand CISV within Canada. In addition to the camp for. 11-year. olds, there are many opportunities for children of all ages to become involved in CISV. Junior Branch which is open to. all children of 1l-years and older offers mini-camps, discussion groups, and other projects to further CISV. locally.

(Canadian Press) quvcenninnaceuanitt which face people aie The basic premise is that peace is possible oflly as individuals and groups learn to live with one another as friends. The Villoge is an 11-year-old exper- ience. Each year there are more than 865 villages held throughout the world. In each village, delegations of 11-year- old children and 10-12 different nations olds ied by an adult to par- ticipate in a cultural exchange pro- gram, while living with families in another country. Junior Counsellors, 16 to.18-year-old CI8V'ers, participste in each village and act asa link between the adult staff and child delegates.

One such camp is being held in Ottawa July Ts “Aug. 4. ‘To ensure a place in-the s village; you must write the National Office (me) sbout your interest and in turn will contact the International Of- fice.
