College record is good GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 43,1982 -PAGE 19 Governments prefer 'to talk in parables so man won't understand by G.R. Hinton, Alberta Our forefathers came to -this country .to grow potatoes. For various reasons, many were denied this fundamental right in their country of origin. And grow potatoes they did. In those early days, growing potatoes was more than just producing a staple of diet - it was a way of life. Talk is cheap, but it takes money to buy potatoes. To borrow a phrase from those early days, it seems that to- day we have forgotten how to grow potatoes, refuse to do so, or ask someone else to do it. Therein lie the economic ills our country and the peo- ple are faced with today. Governments cannot grow potatoes. Why? A potato farmer will fertilize to grow more potatoes the following year. The government can- not do this. It is a gross over- sight that we have failed to put into our political system, and therefore it does not ap- pear in our own Parliament. It is an oversight that has cost us too many millions, so many that it is even too shameful to contemplate. A potato farmer's year is 12 months long. In govern- ment a "year" is four to five years long - it is called a "term". For a government to fertilize beyond one term becomes a logistical nightmare in political strategy. What does this mean? It means that two - votes and two votes does not add up to four votes. Politi- cians are scientists in their own right, and science does not like to ponder upon the imponderable. The govern- ment cannot, but must, fer- tilize beyond one term. It cannot promise the voter sour apples for one term so they can affortd to give him peaches • and cream the following term. He would then vote for the opposition that promises everything the first term, and has nothing left for the second. It is much like buying a car this month on next month's pay cheque, and having to sell the spare tire to buy gas. To ask governments to do otherwise makes them squirm and go into contor- tions. They would much sooner, speak with marbles in their mouths and talk in parables, making it hard for the layman to understand them at all. Does this mean that party politics is over? Maybe. However; we could all vote for communism. Communists are voted in for life, so they do not have to promise anything, cannot give anything because they have taken everything, but they .'do give one three choices: one, join them; two, shoot one's self; or three, head for Siberia in the spring to give yourself time to dig in for the coming winter. Com- munism could well be the best for all people, that is, if human nature were the soul emblem of Christ and mankind were made up of saints and angels. In- variably it would then come out in the wash, until then it can only turn up as dirty linen. Because we do not save potatoes for a rainy day, we pay the piper in lean years. This is a fact of life, and because of it we have bit by bit pushed the country into a recession that is the envy of no one. Because of this sim- ple fact, we have brought about record unemploy- ment, where the unemployed cry out for bread and the employed ask for more can- dy, sad indeed, where the tentacles of government have spread further and feed upon the economy in ever- increasing proportions. A spectrum of political mayhem has become a way of life, where governments do everything but govern, the party line and party politics have invaded Ottawa and the halls of Parliament with 'a vengeance, and the opposition have become op- portunists that hinder more than enhance constructive government. .Governments cannot grow potatoes. They will spray for potato _bugs,- a I'd if -there -is - any spray left over they will import more bugs at whatever -floe oe cost, just to get rid of the excess spray. There is no reason for this. Governments do not reason. Trudeau, Broadbent, Clark and McDermot (the Gang of Four) are all government leaders. They put marbles in their mouths when they The national unemploy- ment figure stands at more than 12 per cent and has in- creased substantially over the past year. Despite this, Conestoga College graduates continue to achieve an ex- cellent placement record - 95.1 per cent, according to theust-released 1981-82 Graduate Placement Report. The report surveys graduates of 36 Semestered and Diploma programs (ex- cluding Nursing) at three Conestoga campuses. The graduates surveyed had completed their programs in the spring of 1982. (Because Nursing graduates complete their program in the fall, they did not qualify for inclu- sion in the report. ) The 95.1 per cent figure is especially impressive in light of a 15 per cent increase in the number of graduates (757 compared to last year's 658) and an 11 per cent in- crease in the number of graduates available for employment (697 compared to last year's 628) . Of the -graduates surveyed, 98.4 per cent from Applied Arts programs, 93.1 per cent from Business pro- grams, 100 per cent from Health Sciences and 94.4 per cent from Technology achieved placement. By campus, the placement figures for Semestered and Diploma programs are: Doon (Kitchener) - 95 per cent, Guelph - 95.4 per cent and Waterloo -100 per cent. Graduates of 17- programs attained 100 per cent place- ment. These i ragram are-: - Ambulance and Emergency Care, Broadcasting - Radio and Television, Business Ad- ministrati-oni Data Process= ..ing, Constraction_Engineer-_ Ing Technology, Criminology and Law Enforcement, Film Production, Food and Beverage' Management, Journalism- Print, Manu factoring' Technician- Wood Products, Mechanical Engineering Technician - Drafting, Mechanical Engineering Technician - Hydraulics and Pneumatics. speak. Marbles come in all sizes and colors and are used in all "'alks of life and for various reasons- Politicians and their counterparts, union leaders, use them more frequently than others. it's a trick of the trade, so to speak. In some countries it's a way of life. Some people would scarcely say anything if they were to say it without marbles, it is just another way of saying nothing when you must say something but do not wish to' say anything. Royal com- missions are part of this pro- cess. They hire people to find out something that they - knew all along, but could not face up to. In hockey it's call- ed passing the puck. • Does this mean that par- ty politics has outrun its usefulness; that we are mov- ing headlong into a totalitarian society, that democracy is in its last dy- ing throes, that we are heading into economic disaster without parallel? This may be so, but these questions also contain affir- mative answers. How does this affect Canada and her people? We must weed out all politics in government. Ethics and moral integrity should be the norm and not the exception. Government must govern in the same way a farmer grows potatoes. To find a prime example of government rhetoric, we need only look at Trudeau's recent three -chapter speech. Why did he not spell out in specific words, at least in the last chapter, what the government should and must do to avoid economic ruin? Did his conscience speak for him, or did he speak with a monkey on his baack and marbles in his mouth? He knew as well as Broadbent, McDermot and many others knew, that in order to bring the economy back on track, a universal rollback of wages and salaries is a must. Instead, he put marbles in his mouth and said 3 and 4 in the lower -paid scale should stick to 5 and 6, so 7 and 8 can ask for 9 and 10. He knew as well as the others knew that there has to be a drastic constriction in government spending, and an across-the-board rollback in salaries and wages is an economic must, if we are to make Canadian goods com- petitive on world markets, especially on U.S. markets. The Gang of Four knew that Canadian labour could not afford parity with the United States, that their much greater productive capacity made this an economic fact of life. McDer- mot knew that' parity with the U.S. has been a dead issue for a number of years, and for good reason - we have passed that era, and gone • into another, more in- tolerable than the first one, that must be corrected at\all costs. Here we must take the •marbles from the boys and call a spade a spade, regardless of party line and • how much it may hurt some. It is for a common cause, if for no other reason than just so that we may look the unemployed in the face and say we did make an honest effort. The incompetence of government and the inces- sant demands upon the economy by labour unions is scandalous. The word "economy" is an alien term that does not appear in their vocabulary. Bit by bit they have killed the goose that lays the golden egg, and now like an ostrich they stick their heads in the sand and wonder upon wonde upon the nature of things *hat in the world went wrong.) The government owns sky- scrapers and cannot run a toilet. With bureaucracy and red tape they want to drill for oil, sow wild oats to grow 'potatoes, end up with sour grapes. They hire a potato farmer to see what went wrong with the oil well, and bring in a shoemaker to check out the potato patch. Where was the Gang of Four when the iotlgstiore rith wetit i strike an -Vancouver-? -Did- we=hear from them'. Were they play- ing a game of marbles, or were they in Vancouver on the waterfront opening unit containers while ships waited in the harbour and railways stopped running? Container units come in all colors, shapes and sizes, and are not unique to water- fronts. Opening container units is a pastime practised in various fields of endeavor. :We would all be naive to think that the Gang of Four did not know this, opening container units occurs in labour unions across the land. It occurs in federal, provincial and municipal governments, big and small alike. it works in insidious ways, spreading its tentacles • indiscriminately and demoralizing the 'very fibre of social justice. It has brought economic and social collapse upon some of the strongest nations of the world. The Roman Empire fell because too many were opening container units. Centuries later, we still have the stupid audacity to play with the same fire. The Gang 'of Four knew 'this and by their very silence, they con- doned it. The monkeys on their back must have been very large indeed to cause them to take the stand they did. If opening container units is the principle, then the stalling of container ships and railroads is the after- math, the fallout. Ships' and railroads come in all sizes and shapes, and occur in many forms. One facet is wage settlements and disputes between unions and industry. Labour. unions ask for equal pay for equal time: Economics does not dictate this. The , economy requires and requests equal remuneration for equal units of performance. (the end result). To do otherwise is to subsidize the unit to equal the result. We take from Peter to pay Paul; hardly an incentive for greater perfor- mance and efficiency. We have left the rotten apple in the basket so as to con- taminate the others. By, its very existence it is the proof that labour unions are an essential part of our social and economic structure. The movement is .c racial to the welfare of its members, yet it has consistently refused to reform, and reform they must or go under. The ultimatum is shape up or ship out. For them the writing is on the wall, if only they will take time to read it. While Rome burns, the giants fiddle, and the small businesses and organiza- tions are asked to hold the fort against the ripple effect. They are asked to dam and stem the tide against the economy, and this they do very effectively, not on prin- ciple but because • they are what they are and will not do otherwise, How long they can do this is irrelevant. The point is, we must build on this principle. We should not MU the goose that lays the golden egg. We must feed this principle, built-in incen- tive, carry it through to all facets of industry and labour. Playing with marbles and opening con- tainer units is not the way to do this. What must we do to rid ourselves of these gross in- justices? Are we so' norant? What propels us? Is it some evil, sinister aspect of human nature:that propels us on the road to eliminate the very last vestiges of sani- ty found in the oasis of our democratic society, no replace it with a desert of totalitarian depravity? What propells. us hellbent to destroy our only road to sur- vival? There is no need to speak in parables. Jaruselski is not a disease peculiar to Poland alone. Let its make no mistake about this, it is not a credit to the people of Canada that we have not come as far as Poland, or any other totalitarian state for that matter. It is merely a cir- cumstance of time and place. We cannot put our unemployed back to work by opening containers, but only create more unemployed. What must we do to survive, socially and economically The atiswers'are aH' here' for all to_see- Bow they .are_in terpreted- by laymen in Poland or Argentina is im- material and beside the .-point.
