THIS WEEK AND NEXT CUT IN DEFENSE DOLLAR By RAY ARGYLE'" The Federal Government's long overdue move to prune the cost of Canada's military estab- lishment represents only a be- ginning, n o t an end. And it is a decision dictated b y the realities of economics, not ;defense. Defense Min- ister Hellyer's scrapping o f $74 million of military costs h a s brought Ray Argyle loud cries from opposition pol- iticians and communities affect- ed by the move. But when it is realized that • CM =Al • JACKSON ALUMINUM LIMITED Phone 74 Seaforth . y,y . ,...,, .y.. r„.. M. M• ... • 'r ,rxi.nr+x14i,1,7,T,�+r 47,41.,vi Ar n 3 4U Qr Donald G.

'd d 'd ;'L {"d . r'.E .gid this pruning represents only a four per cent cut in the stag- gering $1,600,000,000 cost of running Canada's military es- tablishment, it can be seen that much remains to be done to reduce this unnecessary burden on Canadian taxpayers. The fact of the situation is that much of the country's de- fense operation has been sup- ported for purely political rea- sons—to maintain jobs for mili- tary personnel and civilians at various bases around the coun- try. , The outcry against the mod- est cuts made so far are noth- ing compared to the criticism that can be expected when •the Government begins to make real economies next year. It is now evident that the Pearson administration is satis- fied the country's economy is sound enough to withstand the shock of progressive disarma- ment. The reductions made so far will cut about 1,000 civilians from the military payroll; trim the militia from 51,000 to 30,- 000; the RCAF from 2,200 to 860 and the Navy from 4,000 to 2,700. The defense reductions can in no way be challenged on mil- itary grounds. It is not true, as former defense minister Gor- don Churchill has charged, that the move will shake the confi- dence of our NATO allies. Defense is one field in which the Conservative Opposition cannot realistically attack the Liberal Government. The Lib- eral decision to accept nuclear warheads for the 130marc anti- aircraft missile represents the ultimate Canadian contribution to Western defense. Because the Thompson Social Crediters, the Creditistes and -the NDP all favor pruning the defense budget there is no pos- sibility of the Government be- ing upset on this issue in the House of Commons. • It is extremely lijely that further reductions will be made next spring in Finance Minister Walter Gordon's 1964 budget. Parliament will be given a de- fense White Paper at about the same time, mapping a new role for Canada's military establish- ment. The Government's decision to start cutting defense costs is closely related to increasing de- mands of the provincial govern- ments for a bigger share of the country's tax dollar. The recent Dominion -Provin- cial conference saw the prov- inces pull another $87 million a year out of federal coffers, and the' pressure will be on for a bigger bite when provin- cial premiers -sit down with Prime Minister Pearson again in Quebec City in February. It is essential at this stage of Canada's history, when there are increasing demands for con- structive public measures such as a national portable pension, that our defense spendings be related to military requirements and not to political expediency.
