Tonight We'll Know

The Canadian Tax Foundation has forecast a federal deficit of $400 mil- lion to. $600 million for the coming fiscal year if no taxes are changed. We shall know how it stands tonight, when . Finance Minister: Mitchel? Sharp delivers his first budget speech. In traditional budgetary terms, the country has not been able to get out of the red since the 1956-57 fiscal “year, and in the past decade Con- servative and Liberal governments have piled up deficits totalling about

~~ four billion” dollars. But “Mr. Sharp

President Makarios has warned that ’ if the UN contingent withdraws, there | would be disastrous consequences.

The bleak outlook was a subject for i discussion when Arthur Goldberg, the | U.S. ambassador at the UN, talked | | with British’ officials earlier ‘this | month. Mr. Goldberg *stressed the

absolute neccessity of facing uptothe __ .

peace-keeping problem not only on

- Cyprus but-in the Gaza strip and else-

where. In the end, he said. the prip- | ‘ciple of collective responsibility must | be made effective. He added that it | would be to Britain's and America’s | interests if they were to take over the | whole financial responsibility, but such action by one or two powers would be contrary to the interests of the UN. The , Cyprus operation? has been | bedevilled by financial difficulties | since its inception two years ago. Dur- ing the last assembly of the UN few wanted to face up to the problem. The majority counselled its 33-mem-

‘ber committee on peace-kéeping fin- ancing’ to take urgent action. The, °

committee has not’ met since February

‘and meanwhile another committee is

studying UN finances as a whole. One reason for urgency. apart from UN considerations, is the demand | Greece is making for a reorganization ' of NATO to protect her from the

ture of the impact of the government= |

on the economy. by counting funds not included in the traditional budget.

|

On thisbasis, two of the past 10 |

years showed a national accounts surplus and in five other years the

~ deficit was much smaller than ,that

shown by the traditional methods. The current fiscal year shows a

_surplus_on a national accounts basis

and a deficit on the traditional method of accounting of about $50 million instead of the $300 million

forecast in last year’s budget - by

Walter Gordon. In the coming year, , the budget may again be near to

- balance on a national accounts-basis.

Of more immediate concern are the steps Mr. Sharp proposes to take to deal with what he has called, in a

of last vear to one of “boom” at pres- ent, with further expansion and

higher prices still to come. According .

to this statement, the productive fac- ilities of the Canadian economy are now close to their maximum rate of utilization. ‘Wages and salaries jump-

~ed_10.6. per cent; corporation: profits

before taxation soared; the labor force climbed a surprising 3 per cent

_ to 7,100,000 and unemployment fell

from 4.7 per cent to 3.9 per cent. ~Public_and private spending, consum-

er demand, exports and imports, the

number of people working and the total of production were phenomen- ally high and are expected to increase in 1966.

What-is*not taken ne account: in this statement are regional differ- ences which, in the case of the At- »lantic provinces especially, present a quite different picture. A budget that would attempt to curtail an inflation- ary spiral in some sections of the country could play havoc with our economy here. This has been pointed - out both by the. Economic ~Council- and the Governor of the Bank of Canada, and it is hoped will not be lost sight of in any tax changes that are proposed.

Cyprus Problem Again

Recently it. was announced by External Affairs Minister Martin that Canada had agreed to maintain its

~

Cyprus: for three more months, along with Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Sweden-and Britain. So far this peace

+ required to return on April 18 to

-in-the-Com-——.-

keeping operation has cost the Cana-'. | dian- taxpayers approximately $16—

million. and Mr.. Martin estimated that the extra three>months would cost an additional $849,000. He told the Commons that notwithstanding the failure. of some countries to bear their full share of the cost and to Participate in the Cyprus force, Can- ada is pursuing the right course in trying. to ‘usé the peace-keeping machinery of the UN.

~ Now the-government of Ireland has

given notice that its contingent will

soon be withdrawn unless repayment of its expenses is assured. and UN Secretary-General U Thant has begun :

_consultations.to_avert. the. threatened

collapse of the Cyprus ‘peace. Mean- While ‘tension betweén the Greek

constitutes a serious threat to the alliance’s Position in-that part of the world.

Having faithfully siippitiad men and equipnient to the Cyprus force since its inception, Canadians have a right to be concerned about the outcome. But there doesn’t seem much to be. done except keep pressing for a solu- tion of both the political and financial

aspects of. the problem.

Of All Things!

With a backlog of heavy chores on

be nice boys and take an extra week for their Easter holidays. This pro- posal, made by House Leadér Mc- Ilraith last wéek, would have the Commons recess. from April 6 to April 26. 100 members would be |

attend committee meetings, but other- wise the, business of the country would be ‘held up~comptetely: ~The proposal, we are pleased to note, is meeting with stiff opposition from the

Conservatives. : |

The real reason for the govern- ment’s offer, they claim, is that it | ‘hasn’t got its bills ready. But why should it be in this predicament? The Speech from the Throne outlined a | program of highly necessary legisla- |

~ tion” which — presumably—-would, be.

ready for presentation. There is for example the Railway .

Act to be amended; the Bank Act, the

Unemployment Insurance Act, the

~ Bankruptcy “Act: the-Student-Loans

Act, the Fair Wages and Hours of Labor Act. the Judges Act, the National Energy Act, the Area Development Act, the National Hous- ing Act. There are also ministries to be reorganized, the report of the Tax Structure Committee to be studied the Canada As- sistance Act to be considered, some form of Medicare to be enacted, and many other items on the agenda.

The last Parliament rose on June 30, 1965. The present one did not get seated until January 18 of this year— a six and a half months’ interregnum during which the country’s business was totally neglected. The last thing our parliamentariens need at this time. surely, is another extended holi- day. :

A judge's lot is not an easy one. Here’s the poser facing Mr. Justice

The hotel company demurs. Its hotels *squeeze some 109,000 glasses of orange juice ,a year No manufac- turing is involved, the compapy lawyers argued. -It is merely a matter of transferring juice: from orange skin container to glass container.

Is. the judge wondered, a man

who squeezes orange fuice in_ his “own home a manufacturer or maker

of juice? No. said the tax people. for he is me rely extracting it for his oWn use. This distinction has the

judge puzzled and he has ,asked for . time to study the matter..

OTTAWA REPORT By Patrick Nicholson - Getting That Ottawa Woisline Down

‘recommend is moderation: ey Canadian ~foods;enjoy- cooking:

The combination ‘of their sed- entary life and their’ lumber - jack meals in the Parliament- ary Restauraft -gives our MPs that. distinctive and unhealthy appearance known as ‘the Otta- wa Waistline.

Two years ago I reported that several: MPs were assiduously following a reducing diet pre- scribed by one.of their number. Dr. Bill Howe of Hamilton. Tim- mins’ Murdo Martin, built like a truck and with an appetite to match, kept. right on with his breakfasts of threé eggs and six

‘pieces of bacon; but -by follow- * ing the Howe regime he took 45

pounds off his -weight and 7 inch- es off his waist. Dr Howe him-_ self lost so much weight that. he | told me, he had to buy himself | a new slim-look wardrobe. - This diet has subsequently received wide publicity: it closely fol- lows what is sometimes called | The Drinking Man's Diet. It has been criticised in some cir- cles “6n -the grounds that it is an unbalanced diet. WOMEN'S GOOD SENSE Now a new diet has. eaptured- |

“the attention of the sufferers

from the Ottawa Waistline. This {is based—on-the—-good--common- sense of our womenfolk. It is quietly sponsored by a nation- wide organization called TOPS, which stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly.. There are said to be over 185,000 mem- bers across Canada, and in Onta- rio alone there are over 100 chapters of TOPS.

The belief of TOPS is not that we eat the wrong things, but that we eat too much of them.

It does not sponsor any speci- fic diet: it urges its members t consult their doctor for special-_ ized advice. But what it does

from Alcoholics Anonymous has borrowed the doctrine Me group therapy and mutual mo-: ral support.

Ottawa’s first chaaten named Bytown TOPS. meets one even- | ing each week. Its. members | are all women.: Their routine in- | cludes a weekly weighing, a ce- remony which is perhaps not without its girlish guile. One member told me ‘Last week I found~1 had only pounds, so I took off my skirt | and then found that I hed Jost |

|four pounds.”’ ' Members have telephone | (Contacts with other” eater: as

:ithis is thé feature borrowed"? from A. A. If a TOPS feels the urge to eat a large helping of pie | ‘and ice cream, or is tempted by a large box of dangerous choco- jlates, she telephones her fellow- imember and asks to be talked jout of temptation.

“When a TOPS has succeeded lin reducing her weight to the | desired figure, she then. gradua-

jtes to the status..of a KOPS, ‘which stands for Keep Off |Pounds Sensibly. : Her - project

|then is to avoid “regaining her Jost" weight:~—~ z

OTTAWA SETS EXAMPLE | The Bytown TOPS were re-

‘cently invited to attend a con--

‘vention in Montreal of all Que- ibec Chapters of TOPS. The jmembers returned to the Capi- |tal reinforced in their determina- ition, and ready to spread _ the |word among their menfolk: In some parts of Canada there al- ready are chapters for men. MPs lare now pondering the forma- tion of a Parliament Hill TOPS.

Progress In Burn Therapy |

Most deep burns are contam- inated and the majority become | infected.:During the healing pro-

Blood poisoning is a more. ser- | ious complication and 45° per | | cent of the deaths stem from | this cause, especially when ‘a large area of the skin is burned. The newer and more promis- ing treatments for extensive burns are aimed at stopping the | bacterial invasion of these vlis- tering wounds involving 40'to 50 per cent of the body surface. Last year we mentioned a sulfa ointment nicknamed ‘‘Lind- berg’s butter” after the devel- | oper, Col. Robert: R. Lindberg of Brooke Army Medical : center. The burn is cleansed and the cream is applied daily in a thick | layer to cover the entire wound and overlap adjacent unburned skin.
