All Not Picture of Sweetness and Light Between Canada, United States
Ottawa IP Canada is not
exactly bursting with affection
and admiration for the United
; States these days and Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles may
be on the receiving end of some
very plain talk when he comes
here Sunday.
Dulles will meet with new
Premier John Diefenbaker and
while all should be sweetness
and light on the surfacev no one
will be unaware that Diefen
baker upset the 22-year regime
of the Liberals with a campaign
based largely on the theme,
"Canada for the Canadians."
American diplomats have been
tumbling over themselves to ex
tend the hand of friendship to the
new Conservative government
and Dulles' trip reflects the anxi
ety over the course it may take.
Out of the meeting may come an
invitation to Diefenbaker to visit
President Eisenhower.
The two nations have lived in
such harmony through the years
that there has been a tendency
on the American side to overlook
mounting irritations which have '
produced something approaching
downright dislike of the "good
neighbor" to the south.
The Objections
The things that Canada objects
to are largely in the economic
field. Here are some of them:
United States firms now con
trol 50 per cent of Canadian
manufacturing investment. It is
estimated that the United States
will put up one quarter of this
year's $8,500,000,000 capital
spending program.
There is a definite feeling
among Canadians that Ameri
cans are getting too much ad
vantage out of this country's
boom.
Canada does not want to halt
American investment, but it is
insisting that American industri
alists should treat their Canadian
branches as Canadian industries
publishing separate reports of
their earnings, encouraging Ca
nadians to become stockholders
and giving Canadians senior ex
ecutive posts.
A law passed many years ago
as an incentive to American in
vestment provides that the tax
on dividends paid to U. S. share
holders by firms 95 per cent or
more owned by Americans is 5
per cent, but 15 per cent on

Economist Voices
Hope For Halt in
Living Cost Spiral
Washington W A top
government economist held out
hope today that the cost of liv
ing will stop climbing next
month for the first time in near
ly a year.
Ewan Clague, commissioner
of labor statistics, voiced the
hope following his announce
ment that consumer prices for
June had gone up Vt of 1 per
cent to hit another all-time high
120.2 per cent of average
1947-49 prices.
Clague predicted prices would
rise slightly in July to stay on
the elevator which has carried
them up nearly 5. per cent since
March of last year.
He also said chances are good
prices will decline in August
and September. But he said he
expects another rise in October
and then a levelling-off pos
sibly a decline in November
and December.
Clague reasoned:
Higher food prices accounted
for most of the increase in June
and probably will do the same in
July. But in August, local crops
of fruits and vegetables coming
to market are expected to re
duce food costs, which amount
to nearly 30 per cent of the aver
age family's budget.
Summer sales of clothes and
furniture at lower prices also
should help drop living costs
across the nation. Dealer dis
counts on unsold 1957 cars
probably will get larger as the
year runs out.
But Clague warned that pro
longed drought in the East might
drive up some food prices and
upset his predictions.
Who Wears the Pants
In the British Army
London 101 The big
problem in the British army
today is over who weari the
pants.
War Minister John Har
said "ih most difficult mar
riages" in the proposed amal
gamation of army units "was
between a regiment which
wore - kilts and a regiment
which wore thews (trousers).
He said the units will be left
to fight out the uniform of the
day "unless there is no reconciliation."

Seven Befuse Discussion
Of the seven men and five
women who sat through the
gruelling nine-week trial at
Cuyahoga county's lake side
courthouse in 1954, seven re
tusea to discuss the current or
past developments of the case
Two others since have left
Cleveland.
The ten jurors were asked:
Do you believe Sam Shep
pard should be given a lie de
tector test?
Do you believe, on the basis
of recent developments, that the
Sheppard case should be re
opened? "I don't know the legal value
of a lie detector test." explain
ed juror No. 8, Mrs. Beatrice P.
Orenstein, 39.
"I feel that if new evidence
comes up, I'll be glad for his
(Sheppard's) sake. I don't mean
to imply that I think there is
any new evidence. I have no
doubt we did our jobs fairly. If
something does come out it
should be investigated. But I
have a lot of confidence in Cuya
hoga County Coroner Samuel
Gerber. And if I can't trust him
as a public official I don't know
who else 1 could believe."
Mistake Doubted
Jack Hansen, 39, juror No. 6,
said: "We may have made a mis
take, but I don't think so. Of
course, I'm interested in any de
velopments in the case, and I
feel any good clues should be in
vestigated." Hansen said he was
"certainly glad the higher courts
upheld our verdict," adding "I
still think he was guilty on the
evidence presented us."
Pilot of 'Hustler'
Calls Speedy Trip
'Simply Routine'
Dayton, Ohio W A Con
vair test pilot has termed his
one hour 17 minutes flight from
Fort Worth, Tex., to Wright
Patterson Air Force Base as
simply "routine."
B. A. Erickson, the pilot, made
the statement Wednesday as he
stepped from the B58 Hustler,
the Air Force's newest faster
than sound jet bomber.
The needle-nosed bomber's
speed was not officially an
nounced but Erickson was per
mitted to say he flew "faster
than the speed of sound."
The speed of sound is 760
miles per hour at sea level.
"It was just a routine filght,
Erickson said, after bringing
the plane here for takeoff tests.
An Air Force spokesman first
said the four-jet plane averaged
9S0 miles an hour, but officials
later denied this and refused to
name a figure.
Commercial airline distance
between Fort Worth and Dayton
is 989 miles. Figuring the plane
was in the air for 87 minutes,
it had to maintain a speed of 11
miles a minute or 696 miles an
hour.
The B58 is designed to oper
ate at speeds of 1,200 to 1,500
miles an hour at an altiutde of
58,000 feet.
Federal School Bill
Supporters Give Up
Washington OP) House
supporters of the federal school
construction bill all but tossed
in the towel today.
A few House Republicans
sought to get to President Ei
senhower to tell him that only a
strong last minute plea by him
could save the $1,500,000,000
compromise measure.
But White House Press Sec
retary James C. Hagerty said
he knew of no plans by Eisen
hower to issue such a special ap
peal before the vote on the bill
expected by tonight.
This year's bill would autho
rize the federal government to
spend S300 million annually for
four years to help states build
needed schools.

hard for Canada to sell its agri
cultural produce abroad. Diefen
baker recently said Canada
could not compete In "give
aways" and while American
gifts of farm products to needy
nations could not be criticized,
the United States was violating
international agreements when
it asked pledges that recipient
countries repay the gift with
purchases of American goods.
Canadian fishermen, on the
East Coast are hot about a legal
situation which permits Ameri
can vessels to approach the three
mile international limit while
Canadian regulations keep them
12 miles offshore. Diefenbaker
has pledged to take steps to keep
the Americans 12 miles out, too.

Defense Bugs
The permanent Joint Board on
Defense, established in 1940 and
effective throughout World War
II, still meets regularly. Its big
gest recent task has been build
ing three lines or aircraft detec
tion, Pinetree, Mid-Canada and
Distant Early Warning (DEW).
Canada and the United States
built Pinetree jointly and it is
operated mainly by Canadians.
Canada built the Mid-Canada
Line alone. The United States
has been paying the cost of DEW.
Presence of American troops
manning these stations in North
ern Canada has been an annoy
ance to Canadians who are be-
of their independence than when
they first won it in 1867.
Some of the sites of the DEW
Line are new and complete com
munities but are shown on no
published maps of Canada. In
some there are no resident Ca
nadians. All fly the Stars and
Stripes, some show the Canadian
red ensign or the Union Jack
alongside but others fly nothing
but the American flag. It is a
sore point.
Those are some of the specific,
irritants. Underlying is the same
tinge of hostility the United
States has encountered in virtu
ally all of its other friends and
allies since it emerged as such
an overpowering economic and
military colossus.
