conference in Trail Sunday, said in an interview that the military industrial complex is so persuasive and influential that congressmen and senators in the U.S. are no longer able to make a rational decision when it comes to cutting back on military spending because of the country’s dependancy on military spending for jobs.

“It creates a force which demands an even larger increase in the military budget,” Cadman says.

Cadman notes that many companies in Canada, such as Canadair, General Motors of Canada, Garret Manufacturing and Lytton Systems are relying on military contracts. He predicts a “di ion in the ” if these are dropped.

In the U.S., many major companies such as United Technologies, General Electric, Boeing and Hughes Aircraft are becoming dependant on government spending for military acquisitions.

Most of these companies are working on innovative designs for military technology, Cadman said.

He noted that these companies are beginning to move away from the production of consumer goods. Cadman explained that what happens in this situation, is that while U.S. companies are working on military developments, countries like Japan are putting their money into consumer goods.

Cadman said this situation is “distorting the economy towards military production at a cost of production of consumer goods which means the U.S. has a net deficit in trade.”

Cadman quoted one source who estimated that 45 per cent of machine tools in the U.S. are currently imported. He estimated that the same figures apply in Canada.

'We are losing the edge in the production process,” he said. “We are importing productive technology. It has never occurred before in the whole post World War Two era.

north or whether purchasing F’ 16s — it has two choices: Either it raises taxes or it borrows.

Cadman noted that military spending accounts for “a sizeable portion of the Canadian deficit.”

Although he didn’thave any specific figures for Canada, Cadman said that in the U.S., more than 65 per cent of the federal deficit is related to military spending.

He said money is removed by the government from the private sector, which results in an increase in interest rates.

When asked what can be done about the situation, Cadman replied, “In this country, it’s high time we had a white paper on defense policy.”

“We need to look at military procurement,” he said. “I think we have got to look at the extent to which the government, through industry grants, stimulates the military sector because of longer long-term dependancy.

“We would be better off at looking more closely at long-term needs at creating a sustained economy.”

Cadman noted that a job in military production costs twice as much as a job in the services sector, and two-thirds as much as a job in the manufacturing sector.

“We have got to look at using government dollars to generate productive capacity,” he said.

Although Cadman admitted that increasing military spending creates jobs, he added that it is only short-term job creation.

“I think we have to do an analysis of Canadian defense needs,” he said. “What are our specific requirements?

“We don’t need to try and get a larger slice of the American production pie,” he said. He added that Canada is the ninth largest exporter of arms on a per capita basis. In fact on this basis, Canada exports more arms than the U.S.

“We had huge arms sales in the 70s to the Shah of Iran,” Cadman notes.

said it's attractive in the sense that it is the leading edge of technology. He said more research and development dollars will be put into the plan than anything since the space race began.

“It is attractive in the long run, but who is going to be the purchaser? Government and only government.”

He said in the long run the Canadian government is going to have to decide how much it is willing to forego in order to finance that kind of priority

“It's an escalation of the arms race that can lead nowhere but to stabilization of deterrants.”

He claimed that once one superpower has the edge, there is an initiative for the other side to catch up. He called this “huge wasted resources” because although the U.S. will gain an edge the Soviet Union would follow shortly

But Cadman noted that both the U.S. and the Soviet Union have got “more destructive capabilities than anyone needs.”
