PAGE 2 It's edging throug unnoticed by public WASHINGTON (CP) — To the anguish of Canada and other trading partners, a bit of tax legislation is edging through the United States congressional mill almost unnoticed by the American-public and press, IVs practically a carbon copy of a bill that died in the 91st Congress last. year, But Finance Minister £.J. Benson of Canada and some observers here Suggest it has a much better chance this time. Benson says its passage could lead to a massive exodus of manufacturing jobs from Canada to the U.S. European spokesmen say it would put the U.S. in violation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Japan has expressed serious concern over the “potential disruptive" effects of the proposal. The object of their concern is aclause in an all-embracing tax package that would provide for establishment of Domestic International Sales Cor. porations, which could defer tax payments on much of their income from export business. Some critics say a DISC in fact could be only a “paper sub- sidiary," and that deferment in some cases would amount toa tax exemption. COUED HURT CANADA Trade Minister Jean-Luc Pepin of Canada has lumped it together with other measures as part of U.S, “restrictive trade measures."’ G.A. E. Couture, chairman of the Canadian Export Association, says the DISC proposal in the long run could be more devastating than all other recent U.S, economle moves, He says it could divert to the U.S. the new factories and plant expansions already in the planning stage for Canada. Aimed at stimulating export business, the DISC scheme would give U.S. companies generous tax benefits to produce inside the U.S. items for export instead of producing them through subsidiaries in other countries, such as Canada. The over-all tax legislation already has passed the House of Representatives. It probably will get to the Senate floor early in November. Last session, a similar provision attached to a broad trade reform measure also passed the House but the Senate finance committee balked at the protectionist aroma of the whole trade package and the bill died autor atically when the congressional session con- cluded. ' COULD SLIP BY While the country could get along withoul a trade bill, there is popular support for tax reform and if the bill passes — in one form or another — it is seen likely the DISC proposal would slip through with it. In both cases, the technique has been to attach the DISC proposal to other legislation that overshadows it in public attention. For instance, this time attention is focused on the bill’s provision of some $15.4 © billion in tax relief for in- dividuals and corporations over three years. In that forum, DISC gets little , attention. Yet it is nat without its critics, Saying the “Nixen ad- rolnistration’s silence on the scheme “cloaks the efforts of . the treasury department once again to slide the DISC propesal into the tax law,” Prof. Stanley S. Surrey of harvard law school has termed it a billion-dollar tax loophole. A DISC — to qualify a firm would have to receive 90-per- cent of its revenue from exports or export-related investments — could defer tax payments, although profits when distributed to shareholders would be taxed in the normal manner. , Because of complaints that companies would receive a windfall for exports they wauld ordinarily sell anyway, the House revised the bill to limit deferment to 25-per-cent of the level of export ‘earnings in the base years 1968-70, In addition, however, 100-per-cent defer- ment would be permitted on incremental growth. This move, observers suggest, enhanced DISC's chances. It is estimated it would reduce the loss in federal revenues to between $100 million and $200 million an- nually from the $600 million originally estimated. Now that you've got one what do you do with it? HALIFAX (CP) — “‘Now that you've got a hydrofoil,” a United States Navy official once asked the skipper of the Canadian navy’s prototype Bras d'Or, “what do you do with jt? ” Al the time, Cmdr. Gordon ‘Edwards repliéd ‘that she ~couldhde- many kdinds.ofavorkere-; ‘anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, pollution control — you name it, ” But. Ottawa has decided to leave Bras d’Or — the world's fastest warship — highand dry, mothballed at the naval dockyard here. Because there are more important defence needs and no prospects for a foreign sale, Defence Minister Donald Macdonald told the Commons Tuesday, the hydrofoil would be _ laid up for five years. Bras d'Or, the product of 13 years’ work and $52.2 million dollars of public funds, pulls her hull out of the water with wing- like extensions to attain speeds yet impossible for conventional vessels. ' SET RECORD She set a world speed record for warships, a blistering 72,3 miles an hour at the mouth of Halifax harbor in 1969, and added to her laurels in a high-. speed endurance run to Ber- muda and Norfolk, Va,, earlier _ this year, When she returned from the. southern cruise where she put : on displays of her capabilities for U.S, naval officials, she was put up on a barge for a major overhaul.

SET PRIORITIES The white paper on defence policy released Jast summer gave top priority to protection of sovereignty and surveillance of Canadian territory and coastlines, with emphasis on northern waters, Admiral Timbrell said: “Our shoppirig list is always larger than available cash. Priorities have to be set.” He reiterated Mr, Mac- donald’s stand | that replacement or major overhaul of the. aging Argus long-range patrol aircraft was badly needed, He also emphasized the replacement of some outdated surface ships with vessels capable of penetrating ice, - “It won't hurt Maritime Command, It was only a research vessel.” ; _.

His game invelved a fivecard deal compared with the mad- ern six-card version, But the — ‘original rules and method of . scoring are slill the same as they were in Suckling’s day.’ Mr, Anderson, who retired in 1969 as a senior executive of Nova Scotia Light and Power Co.

NOBOOK AVAILABLE During his “crib” days he heard many a heated argu- ment about rules and scoring - and complaints that there was no standard reference work available to resolve the differ- - ences, So he decided to rectify the matter by gathering his own material, including his- torical information and math- ematical data. The result, All About Crib- bage, is based on the six-card | game for two-, three-, and - four-hand contests.
