PARIS (CP) The
lea industrial countries
of the West agreed today to
limit their total imports of
oi] to 26 million barrels a

day in 1985, about 20 per cent

less than previous forecasts.

The agreement, reached
at the end of a two-day
meeting of the International
Energy Agency (IEA),
called for greater reliance
on nuclear power, coal and
other alternate energy
sources.

“Unless present energ
policies are strengthened,
there is a serious risk that as
early as the 1980s the world
will not have sufficient oil
and other forms of energy

to takeon MP Robert Coates
for the party presidency. He
might even challenge Joe

Clark for the leadership.
Con- |

Fair says he realizes the
ads are against him, but
adds that poor odds have not
stopped him before. He ran
against John Diefenbaker
for the Conservative
nomination in Prince

Albert, Sask., constitunecy
in 1972, and plans to run
against a again if his bid
or the party presidency an
Jeadershi fails, y
For Fair, the party's Nov
3-6 annual meeting is a
‘chance to redirect a party
that he says is crippling
itself with internal fighting,
leaving Canadians ‘‘no

choice but to vote for Prime
Minister Trudeau.

Without new leadership,
he adds, the Conservative
Party is destined to remain
in opposition.

“There's «vs use saying
we're going to win the next
election when you know
damn well you're not.”

Nuclear, coal alternatives seen

Nations limit oil imports

‘available,” energy officials
of the 19 countries said in a
communique.

That would mean ‘‘severe

economic, social and
political consequences in all
A countries and

throughout the world,” they
said

The 19 countries now
import 22 million barrels of
oil daily from members of
the Organization of
Countries (OPEC)—apbout
twothirds of world con-
sumption.

The agency forecast that
without imposed restric
tions their imports would
rise to 31 million to 32
million barrels daily in 1945.

; Under the plan, the United
States would reduce its
imports to 5.8 million
barrels daily in 1985 from
the present 38.2 million
barrels and the other coun-
tries would hold their
demand at roughly current
levels.

European representatives
were skeptical, however,
that the U.S. could uphold its
part of the deal, expressing
ear that Congress woul
scuttle the administration’s
energy promises.

U.S. Energy Secretary
James Schlesinger endorsed
the 26-million-barrel limit
and told other delegates
they might have no choice

nuclear

but to adhere to it. “There
may be no more than 26
million barrels available to
‘the IEA nations in 1985.”

The communique said
nuclear power will be “a
main and indispensable”
element in reducing oil
imports but added that
nuclear development should
be “‘consistent with the need
to prevent the proliferation
of nuclear weapons.”

The communique said
“many member countries”
were determined to expand
ower but others
“reserved their position.”

Tax cuts and controls needed
to revive flagging travel industry

OTTAWA (CP) — Cuts in
asoline prices, tax breaks
or Canadians travelling in
their own country and the
continuation of some form of
wageand-price controls are
needed to bolster an ailing
domestic ‘travel industry,
top tourism and travel
executives said Thursday.

They said the government
also should eliminate tax

breaks for Canadians at-
tending conventions in the
United States in retaliation
for a U.S. law ending
deductions for conventions

in this country.
The measures are needed
to reduce Canada’s

mushrooming travel deficit
and revive the sagging
domestic travel industry,
which employs more

Grim period ..
before recovery

OTTAWA (CP) — Finance
Minister Jean Chretien
painted a rosy picture of the
economy in the medium to
long term Thursday but
warned that some features
of the short-term outlook
remain grim.

Chretien, speaking at the
final day of a two-day
federal-provincial finance
ministers’ meeting, said
that during the next few
years the real growth of the
economy could hit an annual
average of 5.5 per cent.

But he added that the
shortterm outlook is
disturbing. The economy

would grow moderately
during the next 1% years
and the expansion will not

be enough to have a major
impact on unemployment.

retien's analysis was
accepted by several of the
ministers with some

qualifications.
The ministers also
discussed the future of wage

and price controls but
remained divided on the
question of when they should
end. They have agreed that
the uncertainty around con-
trols should be ended by an
announcement of federal

government's _ intentions,

and a supportive fiscal and
monetary stance by all
levels of government will
lead to strong growth rates.

The performance this
year has been mixed, with a

rate offset in the second

Economie experts now are
predicting a growth rate for
the economy this year of two

However, if the potential
growth rate is to be reached,
quere would have roi

urther progress in bringing
down the inflation rate.

“In terms of our com-
petitive position, there is
still much lost ground to be
made up,” Chretien said.
“Only by keeping our costs
under control can we seek
out new markets both at
home and abroad.”

Canadian industry, they
said.

Last year, Canadians
spent $1.2 billion more to
travel in other countries
than they spent in Canada
and the deficit might reach
$10 billion by 1985, the ex-
ecutives said,

Despite the seriousness of
the situation and its
ramifications on the
economy, the government
should not consider impos-

-ing foreign travel restric-

tions on Canadians, they
told reporters.
CONTROLS ABHORENT

“There is something
inherently abhorent in the
idea of government con-
trolling the movement of its
citizens by restricting their
freedom to travel,” said
John Powell, spokesman for
the group. The group in-
cluded representatives of
hotel, rail, air, bus and res-
taurant industries.

In a brief, which has been

resented to Industry
Minister Jack Horner, the
executives recommended:

—The federal excise tax
on a gallon of gasoline and
all other petroleum products
be reduced to three cents
from 10.

—Canadians be allowed to
deduct about 25 per cent of
their travel expenses for one
trip a year if the trips are
taken within Canada. Ron
Chaisson, an Air Canada
executive, said such a
measure would encourage
people to see their own
country and this would
contribute to national unity.

—Some form of wage-and-

price controls should con-.

tinue, to prevent salaries
andcostsfrom
mushrooming. Wages are a
major cost in hotels and res-
taurants and Canada has
priced itself out of the
tourism market by paying
the highest restaurant an
hotel wages in the world,

ATTACKS BRIEF

Shirley Carr, executive
vicepresident of the
Canadian Labor Congress -
(CLC), criticized the
-executives’ brief for

blaming many of the
problems of the ailing
domestic tourism industry
on labor costs.

“They can't blame it on
the workers, that’s for darn
sure,” Ms. Carr said in a
telephone interview. ‘By
their own documentation,
they show they are living off
the avails of the workers.”

Ms. Carr also slammed
the executives’ proposal
calling for a continuation of
some form of wage and
price controls after the
current system of controls
has been lifted.

She said many of the
small hotels, restaurants
and other tourist businesses
are not covered by wage
controls.

Ms. Carr said that the
travel industry has created
many of its own problems
through a lack of innovation,
failing to adjust to changing
travel interests such as the
surge of interest in camping
and failing to provide
enough Fow-cost accom-
modation.

“It's not the worker that’s
the problem. It's the in-
dustry.”' , “tall

Minister Alastair Gillespie,

ministers agreed on the
need for developing nuclear
energy.

The ministers were from

New Zealand.

Gilespie said that if the

would undermine the
political will in other coun-
tries to deal with the energy
crisis. .

“It would be very difficult
for other countries to adopt
the stringent energy policies
that are needed. They would
ask if the U.S. doesn’t do it,
why should we?”

Conservative leader Joe
Clark said Wednesday he
did not know about a

provincial party, Scott
Wallace, and it now is too
late for him to attend.

Clark is due to speak at
the Tory provincial con-
vention in Kelowna on
Saturday night.

He plans to leave Sunday
morning, hours before the
dinner in honor of Wallace,
who has criticized Clark and
his advisers for failing to
