helpful words of warning tO-those

"I can offer no Obvious explanation
of the mechanism whereby moderate

The words are reproduced from. a
massive actuarial study 0,f blood pres-
sure and body build as they affect
mortality which has been carried gut
in the U.S. The findings may well
give cause for concern to those of us
who have grown accustomed to a
little extra weight in return for a lit-
tle more of some, of the -things -we

higher for men who tip the scales 20

Costly Canadian Econorn Hinder World, Sales
There will be general agreement
• with the carrunon sense statement of
External Affairs Minister Howard
Green in a recent address before the
Canadian Exporters Association,
when he said: "Unless we can con-
tinue to develop our sales in world_
markets, our relatively high stand-
ard of living must inevitably fall.
. . This can only be achieved by
• providing our customers with goods
they want at prices they are willing
to pay." --
, There is not much point in talking
about Canada's great resourCes and
the contribution these make to our
standard of living unless it is realiz-
ed that the ability to produce goods
and services at competitive prices
must be maintained. •4
Equally important is the necessity
to realize what to expect when the
ost of government continues to -rise -
and the effect this has on the stabil-
ity of our currency. Queen's econom-
ist John X. Deutsch, �h -time finan-
cial adviser to the Federal Govern-
ment, puts it this way: "We cannot
• have steeply rising government .ex-
penditures, large deficits, rapid -e -do-
• nomic expansion, easy money and a
stable dollar all at the same time. We
have to make our choice." -
Mr .\ Green understands the basic
problem of our maintaining surplus-
•
es is the mounting cost, of producing.
He- knows the effect which extraya-
gant offers for public support, re_,
- cord federal deficits and tight money
have had on production costslin-
d011btedly his difficulty is to con -
Vince his colleagues at Ottawa of the
error of theirways.
