Canada's ElectionOutcome Viewed in U.S.

The ' Canadian _ election, although it:

did not quite give Lester Pearson's Lib- erals a majority, in parliament, was at least deci to repudi the

chomped “Canadaburgers” while he quot- ed Secretary “McNamara out of context and promised that. Canada would’ never

be a storage’ dump for American’ nuclear|—

equivocal record and ign of John George Diefenbaker.

It was a defeat for the parochial es- capism. which -has disturbed Canadian politics for several ‘years. It'was a setback for the two fringe parties — the Social Creditors (right) and the New Democrats (left) — whose strong showing in earlier elections had threat to tize the Canadian party: system.

' We- are thereforé doubly glad for.

Lester Pearson’s near _victory, and” hope he gathers support as prime. minister — not “because . he’ is’‘pro-American” (he often’ isn’ ty but’ because he is the most responsible of Canada’s. party. leaders’ at, the present time.

Certainly: Diefenbaker long’: “ sinée Sacrificed. any. claim he may once ,have had to that title. By refusing: to. imple- ment his agreement to arm Canada and its NATO ‘troops’ with nuclear warheads, Diefenbaker earned: a“public rebuke from the U.S. State Department which broke up his cabinet.and precipitated this elec- tion, Canada’s fourth in six years. .

A shrewd but narrow provincial ora- tor from Sask Diefenbaker tried to turn Washington’s hostility into'a pol- itieal asset at home.. Under a’ “Canada First” banner, his prairie states hearers

with thoughtful Canadians. And this was a thoughtful, eyen’a somber, election: Canadians. are ‘more ‘like Americans than any, other ‘people in the world -— partly against their. will. Our huge econ-

and distorts. it. Canadians do not want. to be a “branch. plant’ economy”: or :a U.S, cultural. satellite: But they are also too realistic to indulge” in neurotie defences against the overwhelming infuences from|@ the. south. Their“own: French-British cult- ural division’ makes: it even -harder for Canadian patriots ‘to. hold a_clear vision

‘of the: dian national: i ‘ity. They

are torn prs a feeling that their best future lies in economic. (or even political) union | with the “U.S. and‘a desire to find a separate future of their own..

Lester Pearson campaigned mainly on. the stable-government issue, He'is an accomplished diplomat and -serious. in: ternationalist who won. the Nobel Peace

Prize after:his U.N. work in’ the: Suez|-

crisis. He ig one of those Oxford-dducd: ted intellectuals who are well ediiipped to reconcile the strategic necessities’ of Canada’s geography. dnd . whatever... re- mains of the sentiméntal network ‘called the. British Commonwealth. “The real |‘ value. of. Canadian-American - relaions,” he said‘ recently, “is that diplomats on each side’ talk frankly to each other as they won't. talk to anyone else in ,the world.”

That kind. of diplomat will be aj:

welcome prime minister of Canada in a time of. potential difficulties for NATO. At worst, he will clarify: the difficulties by rational argument. At best, the U.S. and Canada will stand-as close together politically as nature put. them on the map. — Life Magazine

Shouldn’ t Regard ‘Profit’ as Dirty. Word

“Irs: “not ‘a dirty word to a little boy or girl:who puts a dollar in a: bank and expects to’ get more than that out.

It’s not a dirty word to a newsboy who charges more for his papers than they cost him.

It’s not a dirty word to people who compile dictionaries — who define pro- fit with words like, “good.” . beneficial

- reward.”

Profit is what makes our- society go around. By making research . and ».devel- opment possible, it makes new products possible . . . and improved products . and lower-cost products. It secures jobs and: creates new. ones. It’s essential. It’s good. 9: Then why do so.many businessmen ! seem ashamed of the. word? ey, in an:

nual reports and financial ‘statements and publicity releases ‘do they hide ‘the

‘word and the idea of profit? Why do

do they call profit “earnings”... or “net”? Why don’t. they.call: it profit?

A-banker doesn’t apologize ‘for pay- ing 4% interest. Why does a~business- man feel:the need ‘to apologize when he pays a 4%- dividend?

We're* proud of profit. It’s’. what we're paid to ‘create. It’s a good thing

to create. It’s good, if new products. are. Baad . . if improved Products are ‘good |.

if jobs are good . . if our society is good. Let’s tell people about- profit, They'll understand. It: helps them: too. — Marsteller Ine.
