Since the ITA is sup- posed to-be above politics, a.con- trary decision appears unlikely.. The way the Americans conduc- ted themselves in the airline in J con- trast to the recent skirmish over Air Canada's seat sale for flights into the U.S. U.S. Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldridge has set an exacting precedent. Politics should become less important in resolving trade problems. There was obviously enormous political pressure from some in- fluential elements in the American lumber industry.

It would have been easy for Mr. Baldridge to accept. their argument, especially when.protec- tionist policies are being touted in- creasingly loudly in the U.S. But, significantly, the decision against. duties was made “by applying our countervailing duty law to the fac- ts." pan: The facts, adduced by a com- merce department investigation, showed stumpage isn’t being ap-: plied to a dpstries,” prerequisite for a countervailing duty finding. But, said Mr. Baldridge, even if it were being applied specifically to the lumber industry, it still wouldn't be a sub- sidy under U.S. law.

Our monthly automobile fuel bill dropped from $200 to $90 for three reasons: the acquisition of a Japanese import that travels nea 60 miles ona one Jlong \ J In one way I am pleased that we jumped from 27.7 to 47.2 cents per litre overnight because, the .contrast is clearly noticeable, Some like Merriman will not have the alternative “of breaking ot the 12-speed bicycle, gallon of lit of the pes: repair and. of the thirsty American car; and last, but certainly not least, the aforementioned gasoline price war which saw the per litre price drop to 27.7 cents. The Price as this column becomes reality is now 47.2 (approximately) which converts to good old dollars and cents to $2.18 per gallon. That does it for this former motorist. There will be two moons in the night sky before I can bring myself to dump $43.60 on a power source which is more than 80 per cent federal and provincial taxes. Even the retail outlet operator makes hardly enough at any price to justify standing in the rain to fill the tank. Maybe we should be thanking the Iranians and a few of the minor oil supply countries for jumping the OPEC fence. A reasonably informed source advised that we are now close to 75 per cent of the OPEC world price for oil as was agreed between Alberta and the federal gov Th we ent si n, Others will carry on at whatever price shows at the pumps.

STE -The. creative days of the Bible are viewed by many as seven literal days, yet that is not in harmony with science or the scriptual account. In the Bible a __ day can refer to varied periods of time: eg. 12 hours daylight, 24 hours, a year, 1,000 yeats and some thousands of years. Numbers 14.34 2 Peter’ 8: 8-10 Genesis 2:4 Noteworthy, too, is that. the heavens and earth were already created before these days began. It is saicaal to Bible readers to e the}, evidence. , “This is. in kinetics all converge onthe conclusion that. spontaneous genération ‘of life The Bible says. that every living : - thing. -brings forth its own kind of off- spring.
