-.. Columbia Cellulose moves ahead again

the -news that Columbia Cellulose

Company is to further expand its
Watson Island operation should be
sweet music to the ears of many in
this fast growing community.

- There can now be no doubt that
this’ aggressive concern has a deep
interest in the area, for this is its sec-
ond’ such announcement in the last
eigh€ months.

. For the worker and businessman
alike the news will be pleasant to take.
It is gratifying to see a company
us big as Columbia Cellulose drive its
stukes deeper. Although it may not
mean an increase in personnel straight
away, the fact that $4 million is to be
spent to boost production is in itself
a great step forward and one that will
bing about an even greater feeling of
security to all concerned.

Columbia Cellulose has made great
styides since it started production in
IFS YOUR BUSINESS

re

 

1950. Its daily capacity now stands at
475 tons, more than double that of 13
years ago. This latest announcement
means a capacity increase of 55 tons:
per day. Surely no one can turn their
nose up at such astounding statistics.

Apart from the fact that much of
Prince Rupert’s economy stems from
the Watson Island mill, the firm has
been indeed a good citizen over the
years. Their many contributions to
various worthwhile causes In the city
have gone a long way in the upbuild-
ing of this community.

Whether associated or not with.
Columbia Cellulose one cannot help
but feel a certain amount of pride in
knowing that our area is the base of
a company which has proven more
than once that it means business, big
business. oo

And who knows, there’s probably
much more to come.

- Bill of health

aoe By DAVID GRENIER

An economy on the mend: that’s the state
ofthe nation depicted in the Government White
Paper Tuesday. But it doesn’t give the patient a
cléfni bill of health as yet. ,

e White Paper confirms what many people
had suspected — that the Difenbaker govern-
m@it would be unable to live up to its pledge
towlash the budget deficit as part ofthe ‘‘aus-
tefity” program. The result: a whopping eight
per.cent rise in Gross Nationial Product ac-
cofiipanied by the second largest budget deficit
in &dhe nation’s history, , “

*% “b + +

we . Se
«¥Yet the document also shows that’ there are

sof] grounds for believing that — despite a
stagrrant rate of growth -—- the ‘Canadian
ecanomy is stronger, more competitive today
timan at any time in the last decade. -

win terms of housekeeping, the Government’s
credit rating may have slipped because of ex-
cesive borrowing. At the same time, prices
were more stable, wage increases more reason-
alge and gain in productivity more marked
than in any other Western nation. So .thiat
Catiadian industry today has solid grounds for
caufidence in its ability to hold its own domes-
ti@-and foreign markets against competitors
whe are allowing spiraling costs to price them
out ‘of world markets.

siwAny future inquest of the Diefenbaker gov-
e ment will have to’ take account of these
nahievements, plus the fact that the Pearson
Gévernment clearly inherited an economy on
thé upswing.

u, » _ +

wIt’s an economy better fitted to meet. the
Inevitable challenges of freer trade and com-
pelition from powerful blocs that lie ahead:
especially with the help of the devalued dollar.

against this must be set the fact that these
capsiderabe pains were only bought at the ex-

a

nr

pense of tragically high unemployment. And
the impact of deficit budgeting apparently did
not improve the balance of the economy.

The White Paper, in fact, comes at a time
when’ 2 crucial issue of budget-making must
finally be decided by Finance Minister Gordon.

‘That issue is whether the economy will be

better served by tighter budgeting and stimula-

tion of the private sector of the economy rather

than continued pump-priming in the form of
heavier government spending and more public
works.

Already there are indications of the same
Father-knows-best approach that ran through
the -unplanned- deficits of the Fleming era.
Hence such “incentives” as Labor Minister Mc-
Eachen’s $500 lure for winter home buyers —
the kind of ‘incentive that involves a Govern-

ment decision to prime one area of the econ-

omy ahead of others.
- re %

Yet there is solid evidence that Canada
would stand to bénefit at least as much — if
not more — from measures to increase the com-
petitiveness of the private sector of the eco-
nomy as other Western nations too have found.
One example: the way greater competitiveness
is already helping close the balance of pay-
ments gap.

The U-K National Economic Development
Council recently reported on how directly the
capacity of different countries to boost exports
is related to their ‘ability to keep their costs in
line. The NEDC report, for instance, found
that in the last 10 years the nation where ex-
port prices had risen most — the U.S, — had
recorded the smallest gain in exports, while
the country that had actually managed to
slash export prices — Italy — had enjoyed the
greatet export increase.

Ther’e a moral somewhere in that for Mr,
Gordon,

i, Broke—but no regrets

The Tory rebel walks alone

By PETER DEMPSON

OTTAWA (TNS) — Like a
man ostracized by his frater-
nal order, Douglas Harkness
walks alone.

He has been openly snubbed
by some of his fellow Conserv-
atives. Several refuse to speak
to him, me

He has been living in a pol-
itical doghouse ever since he
broke with former Prime Min-
ister John Diefenbaker four
months ago over nuclear pol-
icy. .

Mr. Diefenbaker has never
forgiven him. Neither have a
few others in the party. And
the final crusher to his pride
came when he was barred .by
the Tories from serving on the
new Commons Defense Com-
mittee.

“Yes,” admits the ex-De-
fense Minister, a grim smile on
his face, “‘some members of our
party continue tu be cool to-
wards me. But I still think I
was right in leaving the Cab-
inet when I did. After ell, a
matter of principle was ‘irt-
volved.”

Unlike the other ministers

who quit the government over

the nuclear issue soon after he
did, Trade Minister

Harkness is still in the Wouse
of Commons. Mr. Hees decided
against secking
Mr. Sevigny ran again but was
defeated. ,

Being a westerner, Mr. Hark-
ness feels badly that the Tor-
ies.who have slighted him are
He gets
along fine with Eastern Con-.
servatives.

The quiet, almast-shy Cal-
gary North MP prides himself
on his accomplishments dur-
ing the 214 years he served as
Defense Minister. Canadian
military heads once described:

Georges -
Hees and’ associate . Deféns?™
Minister Pierre Sevigny, ™ixt.°:

re-election; :

Mr. Harkness, a distinguished
World War IT soldier, as “the
most efficient and knowledge-
able minister” the country has
ever had.

Sixty-year-old Mr. Harkness
also won a lot of plaudits for
the way he administered the
Northern Affairs and Agricul-

ture department, before ap- .:
pointed to the Defense port-...
folio. A product of the Prairies, ©

even though born in Toronto,
he was well acquainted with
the needs of the Western far-

mer. He went out of. his way

to try to meet their demands.

A long-time admirer of Mr.
Diefenbaker, Mr. Harkness be-
gan drawing away from him

‘almost from the time he be-

came Defense Minister. Can-
ada, he insisted in speeches in-
side the House of Commons
and out, had committed itself
to nuclear weapons in 1959. It
was up to the ‘government
to honor those commitments.
Neither John Diefenbaker
nor External Affairs Minister
Howard Green saw it that way.
So the split within the cabinet
over nuclear policy was inevit-
able... bow te,
Mr. Diefenbaker’s slight of
the ex-Minister was evident
throughout..the election cam-
paign. Not ‘once did he men-
tion Mr. Harkness by name
while on tthe hustings, al-
though on one occasion he re-
ferred to him as the ‘former

Defense Minister.

Stumping on behalf of Al-
berta Tory candidates, Mr.
’Diefenbaker. addressed meect-

ings in Calgary South and Bow

’ River constitueney which takes

in part of Calgary. But he
‘Shied away from Calgary
North.

He continued to give Mr.

Harkness the cold shoulder
with the start of the new Par-
liament.

obher kind.

Servadus shrugged hiy shoul-
Qhhs and put it aside.
tn dollars and cents, the
Hichnann fave cost Bervatius
more than he would ever be
able to recoup. “The only

pleasant aspect of the case,
he says, “is that because of
the lack of income, I did not
have to pay any income tax.”

I asked Servatius what he
personally learned from the
Eichmann case,

“TJ Joarned more than in any
other in my experience,” he
told me. “Tt was a revelation. to
represent a man who, despite
the vast charges made against
him, stood firm in his belief
that he wag fully Innocent of
all accusations.”

I mot Dr. Servatius In Jeru-
salem’ the night before he
himself met Eichmann, on Oc-
tober 8, 1960, and interviewed
him after his visits to Eich-
mann's cell, Once he confided
that his meetings with Eich-
mann were exeeptionnally frus-
trating -- “beacause Elehmiann
is rather stupid.”

Nevertheless, Servatius mar-
veled at Elehmann's honesty
and said he was the most
straightforward clent he ever
had,

Through our close nssocia-
tion, I got the Impression that
Sorvatius had a feeling of
guilt every time he raised a
question in favor of Eichmann,
When his explanation was
hoard by the tdjree -—- and then
Jive — judges pt the triad and
the point dismissed, he would
seat himself and seem relieved.

Dr. Bervatius is not in favor

- of capital punishment and an-

Ucipates its abolition. We had
hoped that in the defence of
Hichonany he might persuade
the Isrecli judgas, in whose
land capital punishment is
abolished, that they should
follow that precept even in the

case of BKichmann,

When I asked if he would
write a book or leeture on the
Bichmann case, Dr. Servatius
answered emphatically:

“T will write no books be-
eause To am ono author; J will
not lecture because To oam no
lecturer. Toamoas lawyer and £
don't consider it ethical in
the Tegal profession to pub-
licize a case,”

Thal attitude has cost Ser-
vatius money, as his the whole
episode of hks assoclation with
Mehmenn, AdmitUhg that he
was still in debt over the costs
jncurred in defending Tleh-
mann, Dr. Servathus added:

~ Cision was made to let

 

 

Conservative MPs _ report
that at the opening party cau-
cus, Mr. Diefenbaker stood
near the enirance to greet the
Members as they trooped in.
Spotting Mr. Harkness ap-
proaching some ‘distance back,
the Tory lead-r suddenly left

- the line, apparently to miss the

Calgary MP.

The decision to prevent Mr.
Harkness from serving on the
all-party Commons Defense
Cominittee now imposes addi-
tional stresses on the Conserv-
ative movement, already hurt
by internal strife.

“It’s nothing but spite,” says
Mr. Harkness. ‘I think I could
have contributed something to
the committee, in view of my
general background and the
fact that I was Defense Min-
ister for 214 years.”

Jack McIntosh, Tory MP for
Swift Current-Maple Creek,
commented: “It is regretable
that Mr. Harknes wasn't sel-
ected to work on the commit-

tee.” Mr. McIntosh, along with

Mr. Harkness, were the two
Tory MPs who voted with four
Social Credit MPs to support
the government on an NDP
non - confidence motion over
the’ Liberals’ nuclear policy
early this session. The gov-
ernment was sustained, 124 to
113. But had the six shifted
their votes, it would have been
defeated.

Many Conservatives deplored
Mr. Harkness’ decision to quit
the ministry a few days be-
fore an abortive Cabinet re-
volt, and the subsequent defeat
of the government. It was not
this entirely, however, that was
responsible for barring him
from the Commons Defense
Committee.

What many Tories find un-
forpiveable in Mr. Harkness
was his call for a change in
party leadership, soon after the
April 8 election,

So now he walks alone, even
though he is admitted to party
cnucus, It was with reluctance
and misgivings that the de-
him
attend,

Strange are the ways of poli-
tics. Back in 1958, when Mr.
Hrrkness was addressing a
nominating convention in Ed-
monton, he had this to say
about Mr, Diefenhbaker,

‘SEE MAY WELL go down in
history as the greatest political
lender Canada has known.”
