UNITED NATIONS (CP) —
Canada has indicated it may not
be able to sign a proposed inter-
national convention designed to
provide compensation for vic-
tims of falling man-made space
objects.

Business _
activity

vigorous

VICTORIA (CP) — Waldo M.
Skillings, provincial minister
for industrial development,
trade and commerce, said Mon-
day British Columbia’s business
activity is showing increasing
vigor, particularly in the forest
industry. —

The minister made the state-

ment while releasing his
department's monthly business
activity report.

The report indicated that
lumber production in August
was up by 19.7 per cent and
shipments were 28.3 per cent
higher than in August, 1970.

Lumber prices are well above
last year’s levels, the report
said, while pulp, paper and ply-
wood also recorded gains in
production volumes.

Mr. Skillings said a continued
growth in construction was in-
dicated in housing starts in the
first eight months of this year
which was 36,9 per cent above
the total for the same period
last year. Preliminary building
permit values for August and
September showed respective
gains of 49.1 per cent and 13.3
per cent.

Paul St. Pierre, parliamen-
lary secretary to External Af-
fairs Minister Mitchell Sharp,
said Monday the proposed con-
yention, product of eight years
of debate, falls short In two
ways.

He said Canada believes that
the convention is not suf-
ficiently “victim-oriented” in
that it does not guarantee full
compensation for the victim of a
falling object launched by a
country.

He also said it is possible that
no compensation would be paid
at all.

The Vancouver Liberal men-
tioned what perhaps is the main
Canadian concern about the

convention is that it could:
establish a precedent that

would effect future  in-
ternational treaties dealing
with pollution of the sea and
atmosphere,

In this area Canada has been
working hard to establish that a
country that causes the pollu-
tion must also be responsible for
compensation paid to its vic-
tims,

MAY NOT SIGN

St. Pierre said because of the
weakness of the outer space
treaty Canada may not sign it,

The “convention on tiability
for damage caused by objects
launched into outer space,” is
expected to be approved later
this year by the 131-country
General Assembly. After that it
will be opened for signatures
and come into effect when five
countries have signed it,

It now is being discussed in
the assembly’s main political
committee, St, Pierre said Can-
ada will abstain when it comes
up for a vote.

The convention was drawn up
largely by the United States and

CSB payroll tops
last year's figure

Heading into the wrap-up of
the current Canada Savings
Honds campaign, the B.C.
payroll organization has topped
last year’s final figure.

A total of 25,445 employees
have subscribed for $15,980,950.
Final totals in 1970, marked by a
heavy roll-over, were 28,657
applications for $14,390,000.

‘It seems as if people in all
sorls of jobs just want to buy
this bond,’’ said George
Sherwood, Regional] Director of
payroll in B.C.

He said the final payroll ©

figure, plus special groups in
the province — federal civil
service, armed forces and
railways — could run to more
than $21 million,

. The campaign runs until Nov.
15, After that date there is a

.penalty of accrued interest.

Prince Rupert has checked in
with $13,205; Columbia
Cellulose $52,850, and Kitimat
$244,800, almost double last
year. These examples of ac-
ceplance and co-operative
campaigns come under

objects into space to pay repar-
ations to restore property dam-

aged by those objects to “the .

conditions which would have
existed if the damage had nat
occurred,”

It provides for arbitration in
ease there is no agreement on
compensation, but that arbitra-
tion is not binding. That is one of
the Canadian objections for it
makes it possible for a victim to
get insufficient compensation or
even none at all. The only
weapon provided to force a
country te pay full compensa-
tion is public opinion brought
about by widespread publicity. .

- SEE PROTECTION LACK

St. Pierre said Canada is un-
able.to persuade itself “that
victims are adequately
protected if arbitration awards
can be ignored by the state
causing the damage.” “

“We-continue to believe that

"states which are willing to cre-

ate risks, by launching objects

’ into space, should be willing to

be bound by any decision

reached by a fair system of in-
ternational arbitration.”

He said Canada is particu-

‘larly concerned that the lack of

binding arbitration could carry
over into international agree-
ment in the future concerning
the environment and the law af
the sea.

husband claimed the distinction
