Commonwealtb Preference Suggested For Development

By ALAN HARVEY

LONDON l(:iPl«~An extension of something like the Buy- American Act to Co m m on- wcalth development was urged here by Harold leader of Britain‘s Labor

He Illustrated his point saying that the province of Sas- katchewan has occasionally in~ dicated a preference for buying from Britain. even when the British price is five to cent higher than that oftered by some other country.

Wilson is a friend of former Saskatchewan Premier '1' C Douglas. now leader of the New Democratic Party.

Wilson said Commonwealth preferences in the old sense of preferential tariffs is becoming a diminishing asset. but regu- lar (‘ommonw e a l t h meetings should be held on capital e- velopment. and the idea of pref- erence might be extended to this field.

Wilson was addressing I luncheon meeting of the Com— monwealth Correspondents As- socation. He prefaced his re- marks about development by recalling that many meetings he had held in the days of 8

Labor government with Cana-

.those

dian officials. including mem- bers of the Ontario Hydro-Elec- tric Power Commission and responsible for budding the Toronto subway.

. GIVES ILK. EDGE

It is understood here that the Saskatchewan government has no specific legislation on pref- erences. but that ll is more or

less a rule of thumb to give the edge to such a big buyer1 as Britain when it comes to

manufactured and engineering goods.

Wilson promised a Labor govv ernment would make "struc- tural" changes designed to en- sure that British industry could meet Commonwealth require- ments in relation to timing of

deliveries. after-sales servicing and credit terms. Some om- monwealtb countries including

have been critical these points

Wilson's speech was strongly pro-Commonwealth all the way. He lambasted the .Conservative government for giving the ap- pearance of turning its back on the Commonwealth in pursuit of the European alternative. and said he is glad to see the "re- vived interest" the administra- tion now is showing.

All bills normally ‘nre given second reading before going to committee. l The premier moved a motion ‘to discharge the second read- ‘ing .of the bill from the order .paper an it to com- imittee. This beg a debate ithat lasted until the house ad- jjourned for supper at 6 pm, ; ct, most of the debate Icentred about an amendment to ithe premier's motion put forth lby Liberal Leader Farquhar lOliver. He demanded that the government kill the bill entirely and replace it with a new one. i Som Conservative back- ibenchers let their leader know iin no uncertain terms that they found sections of the bill often-

Premier Robarts told the ouse earlier that he accepted full responsibility for the bill. He said the government was not wedded to the legislation and was prepared to “amend. to change. to withdraw the bill or any portion thereof."

In the United States the na-l tional occupancy rate has. dropped to 60 per cent from a;

high of 93 per cent in I946 an 1 the Canadian situation was little better. Mr. Burton said.

“Regina occupancy rates run between tit) and 75 per cent with . the majority of hotels in the: lower range." It is generally ac- l cepted that a 70 per cent occu-- ll.’lllt'_\' is the break-even point. FACE CRISIS

An industry spokesman said hotels and motels face a period of crisis within a decade if cur- rent treiids continue. "The crisis ‘lS imminent as a result of over- building. eXcess capacity and rising costs with a resulting profit squeeze."

Mr. Burton said: “Rising; operating and labor costs re- ?quirc a rising occupancy to make the business profit- Iablc."

There now are about 1,900 ho. itel and motel units in Regina. By May the number will sur- pass 2.000 and a further 650 units have been proposed for construction later this year. Plans for 1965 include an addi- tional 150 units.
