CTA Decision is Eyerybodys, Business
the few miles that exist between the
average fluron or•Perth resident and
the -nearest liquor store or brewers'
warehouse, present no difficulty- in '
this regard. From the stanapoint of
the ordinary consumer, the ineon-
• venience created by the CTA is more
than offset by the restrictions on Con-
sumption, provided by the LCA.
There is little doubt that for this
-
reason some prefer that the • CTA
not be disturbed --that it continue to.
• be the governing law in Huron and
Pertlt-
What is more important tha,n • a
discussion of the readiness •with
and this, perhaps, tends to confuse which liquor may be obtained are the
the voter.
The -issue is simple. Will the Can-
ada Temperance Act, which prohib-
its the sale of liquor but does not re-
cognize the problems arising from
consumption, be retained? Will the
CTA be repealed and the Liquor Con-
trol Act ,which, under certain condi-
tions, permits sale, but at the samea
time provides regulations concerning
consumption, be brought into effect?
That is the issue. The vote has
nothing to do -With beverage rooms,: -
which may only be established 'after "
In 'a little more than a week' the -
residents,. of Huron and Perth will
ave an OppOTtlIllity ,to decide whe-
er or not to retain the Canada
Temperance Act.
During recent weeks many thou-
sands of words have been spoken and
many more thousands written by
those favoring retention Of the Act':
andthose who wish to see it repealed.
For or against revocation is the way
it will be described on the ballot.
-:,Unfortunately, much of what has
• been said and written introduces ad-
• ditional elements into what should be
an objective discussion of the issue
double standards that are being ere-
ated in the minds of an entire gen-
eration, and the resulting. disrespect
for law and authority which arises.
The average citizen knows that in

liquor in public. Yet here, he can get
away with it. He may not have stu-

What it gays is, of, vital Interest
and concern to Canadians, namely
that we, are rapidly losing our eom-

more and more dependent' on our
big. neighbors, the United States
and Britain.• „ ---

mainly beyond the control' of •the

and a lower standard Of living for
Canadians in future may be the
price we will all haveto pay.
You- won't find thie spelled out
s'� simply in the pages of th,e DBS

for those who look closely and pone
der the future.
• In simple terns, we. are—and
have ' been for -"several years—

• This disturbing fact hasn't Shown
up glaringly in the statistics until

The high level of foreign invest-
ment-en_Cana_dals industries a_

its hazards.
• In short, the control of Canada's
business and. industry is fast slip-

• The intense industrial expansion
of 1956 and 1957 pushed non-reSie
dent investment in our manufac-
turing industries` from 47 -per cent
to 50 per cent. -
• Foreign control of companies has
grown even faster, from 52 -per
• cent to,56 percent.
