The Committee went on to point
out that Cuba’s medical schools
have set an objective of 7,000

10 years—an amazing goal.

The plan is being initiated in

Despite an earlier rejection of
its proposals, the United States
has apparently won a respite for
its plan for drastic tariff cuts
among member countries of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade.

At the close of the GATT talks
in Geneva last week, a shaky
compromise was reached by the
50 nations present.

The European Common Market
countries, who had strongly op-
posed the U.S. demand for a 50
percent across the board tariff
cut on a wide range of pro-
ducts, finally accepted the US.

Indications were that Ludwig

The “billion-dollar club’”’ of
the U.S. corporate world grew

role as ‘‘mediator.”

Failure to win its demand
among GATY members would
have far-readhing effect on the
policies of the U.S. Not only
would its loudly-heralded Trade
Expansion Act become “‘a worth-
less scrap of paper,’’ as one
newsman put it, but the area in-
terests brought to the fore could
further deepen the political splits
among the Atlantic countries.

Previous to the meeting the
U.S. pressed for its Trade Expan-
sion Act formula of a 50 per-
cent tariff cut on a broad cate-
gory of products.

Common Market countries, led
by France, pointed out that US.
tariffs are generally higher than

others. They offered a high-low ,

plan designed to trim the crests
off the highest tariffs, to reduce
them towards a base of, possibly,
10 percent.

Yet another group, including
such developing countries as
Japan and Switzerland, complain
that GATT is really a rich man’s
club which disregards their needs.
What these countries are interest-

PROPOSE DAY’S PAY

$9,000 in on Drive
Only two weeks left!

By JERRY SHACK
(Drive Manager)

With only two weeks left in the
Press Drive period, we have. re-
ceived $8,949.10 to date. This
means that during the next 15
days we will have to take in an-
other $9,000 plus—or approximate-
ly $600 a day every day until
June 15!

With a view to spurring the

drive on and
-< bringing us
_ within shooting
distance of the
} $18,000 objec-
* tive, the press
committee has
< projected the
idea of a day’s
pay from all
PT friends who
have not already made such a
contribution to the drive.

All press clubs are strongly
urged to: implement this recom-
mendation; all subscribers are
urged to mail in their contribu-
ton NOW!

CITY LEADS >

Up until !ast week, the province
had turned in a greater share- of
its objective, but the latest re-
sults show that the ciiv «bs
have forged ahead. Of the close-
to-$9,000 in so far, the citv has
raised $5,825.65 (or slightly over
50 percent). The province has
contributed $3,128.47 (48 percent).

in other words, the city still
has $5,674.35 to raise and the
province is faced with the task
of sending in another $3,371.53.
As we saidat the outset, the dead-
line i drawing near. Each and
every press club should immedi-
ately evaluate its position and
take all necessary steps to in-
sure that ‘ts obligations will be
met in full.
$1,700 UNPLEDGED

When the press club quotas
were first accepted, they fell
considerably short of the overall
$18,000 target. To pick up the
slack, a number of city clubs
voluntarily boosted their quotas
by 10 percent.

The net result, however, still
left us short by $1,230 in the city
and $475 in the province. In plain
terms, this simply means that
even if every single club were
to reach its quota tomorrow, we
would still be $1,700 short of our
total target.

This represents a serious situ-
ation and points up the need for
every club to not only reach its
quota, but to go substantially over
the top. This is really the only
way we can “‘balance the books.”
LEADING CLUBS

The only two clubs over the top
so far remain the South Surrey
and Vernon clubs, with $375.29
(on $275) and $203 (on $200) re-
spectively. They are _ closely

followed in the province by Powell
River ($192.39 on $200) and
Nanaimo ($331.10 on $400).

While no city club has made
its quota as yet, Broadway is
within striking distance with
$628.50 in on $770 and Victory
Square with $336.50 on $440. Van-
couver East has achieved $938.18
on $1,530, to rate third. The ma-
jority of city clubs however, still
have a long way to go.

ERROR CORRECTED

Last week, the PT staff mis-
takenly credited the South Surrey
club with $76 which should have
gone to Surrey‘s credit instead.

This error has since been rec-
tified and the standings at the
moment are: South Surrey $375.29
($275) and Surrey $332.60 ($500).
The PT wishes to take this oppor-
tunity to apologize to both of the
above clubs for the mixup.
