THIS WEEK
AND NEXT

B; RAY ARGYF:

The next 18 months will
ba decisive ones for Can-
ada’s forei’ . trade picture,

and thus dcclsive for the .

prosperity of Canadians
gencrally. This is the real
meaning of the trade con-
ference at Geneva which
began last week.

Trade ne-
Sotiators of
70 coun-

x tries, met. at

tariff talks
aimed at
cutting tar-

iff rates by
RAY ARGYLE as much as
50 per cent.

The meetings, held under
the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade, better
known as GATT, were dub-
bed the Kennedy Round
because. it was President
Kennedy who pushed
through the Congress the
most liberal trade act in
its history, authorizing the
U.S. to cut tariffs by up to
50 per cent.

The talks themselves got
_ Off to a slow start, but it
‘was almost immediately
recognized. that certain
countries — Canada includ-
-ed — could not afford to
. Plunge immediately into a
Program that would bring
down tariff:walls by one-
» half in the five years after
1966.

Canada’s case, as present-
ed by Trade Minister Mit-
cheil Sharp, was that while
Canada is anxious to move
toward freer international
trade, it would lose more
than it would gain on the
50 per cent. cut rule. This
is because only 20 per cent.
of our exports are in manu-
factured goods, while two-
thirds of our imports are
in this category.

yar -major sdisoppointment
icin Candda's“*point:.“of
view was that no agree-
ment was reached to cut
agricultural tariffs. There
was only an understanding
that the GATT nations
should start talking about

soon.

Major reason for the
hangback in this area was
the determination of the
Common ‘Market countries
of Europe to protect their
high-cost farm operators—

. especially in France. It is
Common Market policy to
impose levies ‘which’ bring
up imported grain prices to
the level of Europe's. -

It is unlikely there will
be a-.sharp ‘attack on the
agricultural deadlock until
after the fall elections in
Britain and the U.S.

No country in the world
has more to gain. from
freer trade than Canada.
Exports account for 20 per
cent, of Canada’s national

In Our Dreams

By BILL SMILEY

Do you indulge occa-
slonally in the dream of
coming into a lot of money?
Most. ple do. It’s some-

The bored

housewife,

Bill Smiley for example,
crouched

over. her: ironing board, en-
visions‘ herself in bikini
suit on a deck chair. on’ a
yacht In the Mediterranean,
sipping a long, cold drink.
Tanned and handsome,
‘Count Serge Popoff takes
her hand and,

dreaming. that» he had a
thousand head of cattle, in-
stead’ of twenty, and he
sold them at forty cents a
pound, instead of cighteen.
Clear as crystal, he can see
himself and Maw heading
‘down the highway: for a
Jong holiday “in the new
Cadillac.

It does him no good at
all to wake up and find
that the, Cadillac has been
transformed into a tractor,
and he's heading straight
for the stone fence.

For years, I’ve had these
dreams: riding in a ricksha
in Rangoon, tossing silver
dollars to the natives; drop-
ping in on Princess Mar-
garet and Tony for a cock-
tall;, flying to -Rio . for

carnival time, But lately,
they have solidified. into

print of the count’s lips'on_
her mitt; she looks down
and discovers that the cool,
firm‘ lips have - suddenly
become ‘the cold, runny
nose of her daughter, who
is wiping it on the back of
mummy's hand.

Maybe the factory hand,

* busy all day putting square

pegs in round holes, begins
toying with what he'll be
doing if his sweepstake
ticket comes through. In
his mind's eye, he is lolling
on his balcony in Acapul-
co's poshest hotel, - ‘over-

looking the swimming-pool, -

while’ a beautiful Spanish

job with a‘rose in her hair .

whispers. gentle stuff in

his ear.

It's a dangerous shock
to his system when he sud-
denly realizes that the face

- Even’ the Canadian farm-

er, a solid fellow most of-.

the time., has his weak-mo-

dream which
i pin like an obsession,
It comes almost nightly at
this time of year,

In the dream, my wife
says, “When are you going
to’ get those storm win-
dows off, have you any in-
tention of cutting the lawn

this year, what do you in- °

tend to do about’ that
fence?”

I just tell her to shut up.
This: is how I know It's a
dream. Then [ reach out
nonchalantly, push the bell-
button beside my chair. A
man appears and asks re-
spectfully, “Yes, sir?”

T tell: him, “Jobn, get
those storm’ windows off.
And I don’t mean tomor-
row. The grass needs cut-

+ ting," and = do something .
about propping ‘up the -
fence.’ Now, ; get cracking.”

‘seasons, Sometimes’! tell
John to shovel the’ walk,
‘and 1 splash a little more
brandy into my soda, but
it’s the same dream.

You can have your
yachts, your Acapulco bal-
conies, and your Cadillacs.
Just give me John.

World markets are Can-
ada’s only hope of main-
taining high employment.

: The productivity of our
farms and industries far
exceeds the ability of our
small. population to con-
sume our, output.

We need greater exports
.to overcome the disadvan-
tage of:a small domestic
market. Our technical skilts
compare with. the world's
best, and production costs
have risen much less in
Canada in the past decade

an in Europe and Asia.

But tariff reductions en-
courage imports as well as
exports, providing a secon- .
dary benefit: to Canadian
consumers. Lower ° prices
on imported goods would
ensure that no Canadian
manufacturer would’ any
longer be able to pawn off
shoddy goods at high
prices, protected by high
tariff walls. e
