Foresees Opposnlon

According to an Ottawa dispatch in the Financial Times of ('anada. the politicians are already lining up against the major recommenda- tions of the l’oi'ler Royal (‘ommis- sion on Banking and Finance. about which so much was heard a few days ago. Proposals threatened with serious opposition include the elimination of the 6 per cent ceiling on bank interest rates.

The Times correspondent says it. is generally conceded that the pres- ent ceiling is unrealistic. but in the end the government may be driven to compromise by raising it to 'l per cent insli-ad of abolishing it. He recalls that the ceiling was re- dUCed by Parliament from 7 to 6 per cent in the wartime revision of 194-1. The Banking and (‘ommerce Committee of 1954 heard strong representations for lifting the cell- ing; the government of the day was sympathetic, but political pressure was too strong. When the commit- tee reported. there was no recom- mendation.

Another Commission recommen- dation deals with the federal licen- sing of provincially incorporated near-banks, and defines a bank as an institution accepting short-term liabilities tip to 100 days. Some authorities. says The. Times writ.- er. flatly reject, this definition. It. has no legal status. and to incor- in the British North America Ari would require an amendment which might create a delicate situation with the prov- inces. Short of this. only the Stip- reme (hum of (‘anarla would decide whether those provincial Companies can he brought under a federal act.

The Commission's proposal for a federal agency to supplement provincial securities regulation has been received "without enthusiasm in government. circles and with some flat opposition." By precedent at least. securities control has been ac- cepted generally as a provincial re,- sponsibility. Apart from any con- stitutional angle. duplication of this control might well he resented and lead to more federal-provincial trou- ble.

porate it

All this. of course. is specula- tion; but it comes from an inform- ed source and is cited here for what: it is worth. Incidentally. it is noted that the. Commission's recommenda- tions on small loans will be referred to the joint Senate-House Commit- tee on (‘onsiinier Credit. where they are expected to he indorsed at least. in principle.

Deadlock Al Geneva

Not much is being heard about. the progress of the United Nations trade and development conference at Geneva, which perhaps is not surprising in view of the fact that. very little progress is being made! The Western powers have present- ed a woefully disunited front at these trade talks. while the poorer countries which dominate the con- ference are united at least. in the heavy demands they are. making to further their own development. and in the belief that the West is letting them down badly.

The facts are basically that fWO— thirds of the World‘s population ac- count for only about a fifth of the world’s income. and that at the present rate of economic growth in the poorer countries there is no hope of achieving the UN Dew-lop- ment Decade “not of e 5 per cent. increase in every country's income by 1970. The inn-cue in total aid from rich countries to poor between 1950 “(1962 was wiped out by

deterioration in the poor countries’ terms of trade, and if this trend continues the poor countries face a balance of payments deficit of $40 billion by 1970.

To end this situation they must improve their agriculture and de- velop their industry. This means spending vast sums at the start to improve machinery and know- how. Their reserves are slight and failing. The only answei, they be- lievc. is increased export earnings

and foreign did. And. naturally. trade is preferred. Present arrangements under

GATT ignore the basic differences in the ecoucmic structures of the industrialized and poorer countries. Special measures are needed to per- mit the latter to absorb modern technology- quicker and change their internal structure to acceler- ate development. The industrial Countries have accumulated capital first and faced problems of dis- tribution of income later. The poor countries have to do both at once. and amid disadvantageous ditions.

This faces the Western countries with the dilemma of trying to help solve a problem they have. never had to solve themselves. Thus re- ports a Geneva correspondent of the Winnipeg Free Press. who adds: "Now that the poor countries have. lost their innocence and know their own poverty. ending that poverty is fast becoming the number one iti- ternational political necessity."

Western disiinity and indiffer- ence is a poor way of meeting a challenge of this kind.

Denby Dale Pies

At llcnhy Dale they're prepar- ing to bake another of those giant pies that have made this little Eng- lish village famous. It will be the seventh creation of the piemakers. not counting the one that went bad and had to be, buried in 1887 on Queen Victoria‘s jubilee. Three tons of beef and two tons of potatoes will go into this year's gargantuan tidbit.

The pie will take. about a week to cook. if previous experience is any guide. A clay oven—a sort of earthen tunnel—will be constructed to hold the metal dish and wood fires will be kept burning beneath it.

C(lll-

Before they start assembling the ingredients the. villagers plan to stage a party in the pic dish. which itself is something to be- hold. Billed as the largest of its kind. the dish is 18 foot long. 6 feet wide and 20 inches deep.

The first Denby Dale pie was made in 1798 to celebrate. George. lll's recovery from an illness. The recovery. it seems. didn't last much longer than the pic. The. second one celebrated the victory over Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo in IRIS. and the. third the repeal of the (‘orn Laws in lf-Llfi. The most recent one was made in 1929 to raise funds for a hospital.

Pie day this year is Sept. 5-— just when our Confederation cen- tennial celebrations are. at their height in Charlottetown. Couldn’t we. persuade. a Denhy Dale dele- gation to come over with a hefty slice for us? The villagers expect the pie to yield 30.000 portions and raise $»l2.000: and we note that a piece of it is to be. sent to——of all persons—Soviet Premier Khrush- chev. who regards himself as an authority on pies. imagine that! Haven’t we got just as good pie- tasters right, here in the. (‘radle of Confederation? Our local centennial committee should get, busy at once and put in a claim to similar consid- eration.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Zoologists at the Philadelphia Zoo have found thai celibacy saves chickens from heart. attacks. They discovered the highest rate of death from heart attack was among males that lived in cages in which the number of males and females was equal. The next highest rate was among males in cages containing twice as many males as females. The only females that got. heart at- tacks were those in cages in which there were twice as many males as females. The death rate from all causes was higher among males, in the mixed groups than in the sexually segregated groups. Death rate among females seemed to de- pend on the size of the group they lived in. the bigger the group the faster they died.

With the best will in the world it is hard to keep patience until the Royal Commission on im- uiialism and Biculturalism. its proceedings get curiouser and

it is bad enough that the co- chairmen of the commission. Mr Davdsou Dunton and .\li. Andre Laurcndeau. sometimes give the impression in t h ei r speeches and writings that thcy have already made up “1le minds on issues before them and that all the trips back and forth across the country ier so much window dressing.

Sinister Trio And Death Rate

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen .

High blood pressure. obesity. and diabetes are a sinister trio. There is no better way to dis- courage : life insurance ulce-

man than to tell him you have ‘, one or more of these conditions. . This is understandable because;

all are associated with a con- siderable rise in mortality from heart attacks.

Men under 50. with a blood pressure of 170-100 mm. have 312 times the death rate from coronary disease as men with ‘ normal blood pressure. A read-i ing of 150-90 more them doubles

the ratio. Hypertension is le I I I

serious when it comes on in i males over 50. The obese may derive some,‘ comfort from the fact that over- 3 weight is not as dangerous as ‘ a slight elevation of the blood pressure. A 69 ‘ years of age. who is 20 per cent . above normal poundage. has on- v ly a 20 per cent increase in mut- tallty from all causes. On thoj other hand. ’ o 50 per centl excess weight raises the rate 50 per cent. Diabetes also increas- es the hazard. more so wh en accompanied by high blood pres- ure.

The trio is sinister because 7 most of the victims develoo ar- l teriosclerosis earlier than usual l and die prematurely of heart at- ‘ tacks. This dark picture is not ‘ as grim as it sounds. All of. these conditions can be correct- ed or controlled,

Hypertension. for example.. should be treated as soon as dis- covered. This is easy to do with modern diuretics and sedatives and the avoidance of salt. Dia- betes. like hyperlension_ damag- es the arteries when allowed to progress. Early treatement with diet and insulin or an antivdia- bctic tablet usually brings the disease under control.

Obesity is the most difficult‘ to correct because it involves. will power and emotional needs. Weight loss helps lower high blood pressure and control dla» holes and is a must when these disorders coexis .
