That ie, rely on government deficit finane- ing to encourage business and provide social benefits. The Liberals also indicated they would have avoided the arbitrary de- valuation of the Canadian dollar that Myr. Diefenbaker undertook. This was measure to bring Canada’s foreign payments into better balance and pre- vent the natural devaluation of the dollar which follows in world money markets when a nation is known to be chronieally and drastically spending more thun it earns. But the opposition attacked the Conservative government foy putting it through. As was remarked in this column before the clection, the Canadian budget under Mr, Diefenbaker’s ad- ministration had: mounted to $3,000,- HO0,000, which is estimated to he equal to on $42,000,000,000 deficit in the Ttyited States.

Moreover American in- vestment money has been pouring into Canada in recent years at such a rate as to make some Canadians even fear an American “take-over” of Canadian industry. The inflow of funds kept the Canadian dollar at 2 premium when on a trade basis it would have gone to 2 discount after interest and dividend payments on foreign investments. On this “strong” dollar the atti- tudes of Canadian consumers and voters were shaped. To those attitudes the policies of political parties were adjusted. It has often been noticed that as. between Conservative and Liberal in ‘anada there has seemed hardly more than a difference of emphasis. Votes against the Conservatives in the elec- tion mounted because that party seemed to many to be too conservative to promote the trade expansion that Canada needs. Now with support from the Inter- national Monetary Fund and the United States and British Govern- ments, Mr. Diefenbaker aims to stop the decline in the value of the Cana- dian dollar and to institute an auster- ity program to put Canada in a better ‘balance - of -payments position. He‘is thus defying those who feel he should operate a caretaker government until a new election can give him or some- one else a clear majority in: Parlia- ment. But it is probable that any lead- er aspiring to power in Canada at this moment would be in office have to take much the same course to avoid a run on the Canadian dollar and an austerity imposed from outside the country by world economics. —Christian Science Monitor, There is no precedent riya Minister Diefenbaker suggests that © chadin parliament resembles, in not re Thad ‘onjority party, the parliaments alot, fe! ahd 1926.

ALCOHOLIC NEEDS. HELP Road from alcoholism difficult By ALTON BLA KESLEE NEW YORK (® — At 3 a.m. the young man telephoned a doctor he'd never met, asking for an appointment. He burst into the office early in the morning, demanding “some of those pills to keep me from drinking. I’ve got to stay sober the next few days—very important.” There is an anti - drinking drug, but it’s no magic powder- in-the-coffee affair. , The drug is disulfiram (trade name antabuse). It is com- pletely harmless, until a per- son drinks any alcohol. Then he becomes violently i). It acts a3 2 chemical fence reinforcing the aleoholic’s de- termination not to drink. It must be prescribed and guided by a physician, for otherwise reactions could be dangerous. NOT EASY ANSWER . The alcoholic must know that he’s taking it and what it will do. It wasn’t the easy answer for the young man, except so far as it marked a. start toward a desire to stop drinking. The road back from alcohol- ism is difficult but much can be done medically and psychol- ogically, explains Dr. Ruth Fox, medical director of the US. National Council of Alcohol- ism. A first step is restoration of good health and diet. The alco- holic often has liver, nerve or other damage. He may need hospital care for a time. Tranquillizing drugs can help him sleep, or handle anxiety. Psychotherapy is aimed at helping the alcoholic under- stand himself and his emotion- al problems and learn to han- dle them without drinking. In Alcoholics Anonymous, the patient can find help avail- able 24 hours a day. In AA, he or she also finds social, intel- lectual, cultural.and spiritual interests long since abandoned in the dedication to drink, Dr. Fox continues, HYPNOSIS USED Hypnosis, ino the hands of trained physielans, can Assist aleoholies to relax and handle _, COMPLETELY IN DEBT tensions, Dr. Fox says. Psycho- drama is another aid. In this kind of stage play, alcoholics assume the roles of friends, family members or employers for insights into social and personal attitudes and influ- enees. ’ All treatments, the doctor points out, have a common goal: Understanding and rein- forcing the need for total ab- stinence. Some physicians find a hor- mone preparation helpful in combatting the craving for al- cohol and the jitters which can come when the alcoholic has given up drinking. The hormone ace, adrenal cortical extract, is given by injection and is expensive. Its use is based on evidence that in alcoholics the cortex cf outer covering of the adrenal gland is not producing normal amounts of hormones. Social! and family attitudes are still roadblocks in dealing with alcoholism, says Mrs. Marty Mann, executive direc- tor of the National Council on Alcoholism, STILL ATTACH STIGMA “Too many people still at- tach a social stigma to alco- holism as was once done with epilepsy and TB. There are still people in key places who don't recognize it as a sick~ ness.” ’ For guidance of wives, hus- bands and children of alcohol- ics, Mrs. Mann lists some do's and dont’s: 1. Don’t plead, don’t censure, don't nag. 9, When the aleoholic flips, don’t say “if you loved me, you wonldn’t do this to me.” The alcoholic usually feels enough remorse already, 3, Don’t try to hide liquor or take it away or cut off his money. 4. Don't look for miracles overnight when he or she Is seriously trying to overcome dependence on alcohol, 5. Do try to understand aleo- holism) as om sickness and dis- euss il eulmly. 6.

The PACKSACK Of Gregory Clark Copyright: Canada Wide , Recently a well - known fig- ure in Canadian business life was elevated from president, an’ office he ha pe held for 20 years to chairman of th board, ‘and atk lunch yesterdays with several of my§ knowing friends in; business, the ques-¢ tion was being. dis -! cussed: “Who is : more important — the presi- dent or the chairman of the board?” This led the discussion into.: much wider fields, and T list- ened with interest while they debated whether the sales manager wis more important than the production manager, or the office manager greater in rank than the secretary of the company, and so forth. It seems that in business, this problem of importance to an organization is a matter of pretty keen rivalry. At an adjoining table in the restaurant, was an elderly man who could not help but overhear the discussion, When he got up to leave, he excused himself and intruded. “Gentlemen,” he said, “there is only one really important individual in any business, and that is the customer, When any individual in a business, how- ever high up, gets the notion that he is the most important individual, then that busines; is in for trouble. today in history By The Canadian Press July 5, 1962...
