The debate qon the government -bill to conserve Canada's financial' posi- tion shows the Progressive Conserva- tive onservestive and the O.C.F. 'panties coming close together on trade policies. Both parties oppose closer trade relations with United States and favor closer economic ties with Great Britain. Some observers claim that the . par- ties reach .this common ground for very different reasons; the Progres- sive Conservatives because of their traditional imperialist policies and the C.C.F. for ideological reasons now that Britain has a Socialist government. They note that previous C.C.F. policy tended to be critical of everything British. Economists realize that Canada's trade position must 'be that which will be in the best interests of the Canadian people. Nothing else is politically or economically possible and policies based on ideology or sentiment will break down if they do not take into account our geographi- cal position , and our economic reali- ties. 'Canada's Long -Range Plan While the restrictions against U.S. imports are debated in Parliament the constructive long range' policy has been somewhat obscured. The gen- eral idea is to direct Canadian indus- try into products that can be sold on the U.S. market. No industries will be encouraged that have to depend on the present restrictions. • Thereare many sound ways to en- courage Canadians to manufacture goods to sell in dollar markets. (I) Special research facilities can be given to promote new industrial ventures; where justified neW roads cam be built to assist in transporta- tion. (2) Special tax adjustments can be made to encourage entry into new fields of production. (3) Adequate depreciation allow- ances can be made to encourage in- stallation of new equipment for ex- pansion. (4) Special permits can be given to import capital goods and machine tools that will 'promote the manufac- ture of goods for which a dollar mar- ket can be found. World affairs captured the spotlight in Ottawa last week as the Commun- ist war continued and Czechoslovakia apparently lost its fight for freedom.' Observers did not fail to note that a substantial section of the Socialist party joined with the Communists to "take over" minority control of the government, This action also gave the Communists complete control of the state police. All this was accom- plished with a show of armed force that closely followed the Hitler tech- nique. There are those who claim that large numbers of people. perhaps a majority, have lost interest in the organization of United Nations and That therefor(' it is doomed to failure. -_ „-?.1.-_ --------------- OUR CATALOGUE IS OUR SALESMAN . .
