Tuesday, Jonuary 20, 1976 The Ottawa Journal Jtight to strike queried by PM Nobody's laughing now at Carter's candidacy MacEachen honors father of Zionism 1 By DAVID MacDONALD Journal London Bureau JERUSALEM Flanked by two stunning Israeli army girls, External Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen yesterday laid a wreath before the tomb of Theodore Herzl, founder of the Zionist movement he has heard lambasted during his earlier travels among Israel's Arab neighbors. He wore a long black leather overcoat against the biting chill of a winter's afternoon in this biblical city 2,400 feet above seal level. 1 By PAUL WHITE LAW DES MOINES, Iowa Months ago Jimmy Carter1, the gentleman farmer from Georgia who wants to be president of the U.S., began telling people matter of factly that be was drafting his "inaugural address." Until early today, many people laughed. But not any more. Mr.

Carter, a little-known former governor of bis home state only a year ago, has shed his political underdog status and emerged as a serious front-runner in the crowded race for the Democratic presidential nomination. His political quest has been given an enormous boost by his sweep of Thursday's Democratic political caucuses in Iowa the psychologically-important first opportunity of party stalwarts anywhere in the U.S. to express their presidential preferencet. With the results of the caucuses still being tabulated there were 2,617 such gatherings in houses, schools and church basements across the state Mr. Carter a moderate, had won an unexpected victory margin of some 30 per cent.

His closest rival in five contest Sen. Birch Bayh of Indiana was chosen by only 14 per cent of the more than 50,000 Democrats who took part in the complex political process. It was a significant setback for the senator. The Republican voting was bad news for President Ford. He was only marginally in front of Ronald Reagan.

The presidential aspirations of Fred Harris, the former Oklahoma senator who is by far the most liberal of the Democratic presidential hopefuls, also received a critically-needed shot in 'the arm. His 11 per cent showing, considering his leftist political views, was an indication that he has strong support in the party's extreme Liberal wing. The Iowa results have also made the doubtful political futures of Sargent Shriver, the Kennedy family inlaw, and Arizona congressman Morris Udall, even more uncertain. Mr. Shriver won only three per cent support and Mr.

Udall a mere five per cent. Both candidates had campaingned hard across the sprawling prairie state. A significant 32 per cent of Iowa Democrats registered their presidential preference as "uncommitted." Although the final tabulations of the Republican preferential voting will not be known for some days, a poll by the party of two per cent of their more than 21,600 caucuses underlined the serious challenge being mounted by Reagan. In the 62 caucuses surveyed, Mr. Ford had 264 supporters.

Mr. Reagan, the former California governor, had 248. The Iowa caucuses, which anyone over the age of 18 is eligible to attend, are the first step in the process of electing Iowa's delegates to the national convection of the Democrats and Republicans this summer. The state's Democrats will have 47 votes and Republicans 36. agency, as "that great revolutionary." Mr.

Burns is widely accepted as a rather conservative economist who argues, as Mr. Trudeau has been doing, that when high unemployment coincides with inflation rates the economic system is not working. The material dropped by Mr. Trudeau included a paragraph saying: "That is why we reject socialism, which seeks ever greater government ownership and control of the production and marketing of goods; and that is also why we reject corporatism or statism, which seeks to have all the important economic decisions made by a formal partnership of big business, big labor and big government." He pointed to the government's wage and salary control program as a means to buy time for Canadians to decide how they want to cope with new economic conditions. "The most pressing reality is inflation," he said, and the fact that inflation, and unemployment are simultaneously at current levels indicates that Canada's mixed economic system isn't working well enough.

But he emphasized that it isn't a question of throwing out the present system and substituting something entirely different. "The issue is whether we are prepared to adjust the system through changes in legislation, institutions and attitudes," Mr. Trudeau "said. a JIMMY CARTER big win in Iowa No Syrian invasion detected Walking down Mount Herzl with Rabbi Richard Hirsch, a member of the executive committee of the World Zionist Organization, he paused before a cedar tree planted Nov. 27, 1959, by Roland Mi-cbener, then speaker of the House of Commons.

The metal name plate describes him as "Ronald" Michener. Then Mr. MacEachen himself planted a cedar tree, symbolic of the continuous national effort that has made Israel's stony mountainsides green with trees where none existed before foundation of the state in 1948. Mr. MacEachen was then taken to the Yad Vashem martyrs' and heroes' memorial, a sombre testimony in photographs, documents and exhibits to the six million Jews systematically murdered by the Nad regime in Germany.

The muted drama of the occasion was heightened by the fact that' the slight figure leading him round and explaining the dreadful course of events from 1933 was Gideon Hausner, who was Israeli attorney-general and chief state prosecutor at the trial of Adolf Eichmann, overseeing bureaucrat of the final solution. Mr. Hausner, now a minister without portfolio and president of the remembrance authorities council, displayed little emotion as he delivered his devastatingly laconic Truce role praised Continued from Page One Toronto following a Canadian debate over admission of the PLO. It boycotted the current security council meeting partly because of the participation of the PLO. Israeli officials said Allon explained to MacEachen that Israel will not automatically stay away from all conferences attended by the PLO because that would be playing into the hands of those that seek to isolate her.

Rather it would make separate decisions on each conference. It felt it had something to contribute to Habitat and thus would attend. During the meeting and later at a banquet in honor of MacEachen, Allon praised Canada for its role in Middle East peacekeeping. At the same banquet, MacEachen assured Israel that Canadian troops will stay in the UN forces as long as they help maintain a negotiating climate in the area. Continued from Page One the unions and corporations to tell us bow they propose to restore peace and stability to the collective bargaining process." Mr.

Trudeau stuck pretty well to his text but did drop some material and inject other portions including a jab at the banking profession. Without naming anybody, Mr. Trudeau said there have been recent suggestions from banking circles "that the only thing wrong with the free market system in Canada is the degree of government interference and mat if the govern wants to impose more controls on the system, we should call an election and get a mandate to do so." That was the statement by Royal Bank chairman W. Earle McLaughlin 10 days ago on a Montreal radio station. Mr.

Trudeau said it is inter-esting to note the bankers at the same time are asking for more federal control on the competitors of the chartered banks such as trust and mortgage companies. "So Canadian bankers have come out, all at one and the same time, against more gov-' emment control of the economy, in favor of more government controls while at the isame time saying they were neutral on the issue. Well, that a tough act to follow even for a politician."

Meanwhile, Palestinian guerrilla sources said that Israel was massing troops and tanks along Lebanon's southern border. But a Lebanese army spokesman said there was no invasion or invasion threat from any direction.

Other army sources said forces from the Palestine Liberation Army (PLA), the or-ganized military arm of Yasser Arafat's Palestine-Liberation Organization (PLO), have moved into Lebanon from their bases in Syria. Local newspapers re-ported 8,000 PLA soldiers made the move in the last 24 hours, but military informants said this figure was "much exaggerated." Informed sources in Israel said Israeli reconnaissance pilots, who patrol Lebanon constantly, have detected no evidence of large-scale Syrian troop movements into Lebanon. "There may be some Syrian army men there, but up to now there has not been what you could call a Syrian military force," said one informant in Tel Aviv. Israel has indicated repeatedly that if the Syrian army moved into Lebanon, Israeli forces would invade south Lebanon to wipe out of the Palestinian bases there. The Israeli sources suggested that Chamoun was trying to whip up foreign support for the Lebanese Christians by arousing fears of a Syrian-Israeli war.

The Israeli sources said their government was keeping a close watch on the situation in Lebanon. But they said there was no indication of any unusual Israeli troop movements.

It was these paratroops who triggered the revolt by oc cupying six air force bases shortly before dawn on Nov. 25. "The action was unleashed from Copcon (the Lisbon area security area) with the order to occupy the bases," the report said.

"These occupations were known by Gen. Otelo and those present in Copcon." The uprising began to falter almost as soon as it started. The paratroops sent to occupy the bases containing the air force's warplanes were disarmed qnd arrested before reaching their objective. Other expected rebel units failed to react to orders.

There are two fundamental ways in which the Canadian and American economies are not comparable and because of which Galbraith-ian theories must be re-examined in the Canadian context. One is size. Tfhe other is openness. About one-quarter of Canadian economy activity involves the two-way international trade.

About five or six per cent of American economic activity originates in the same way. Consumption questioned Mr. Trudeau questions the scale on which Canadians are energy consumers, speaking of growth in consumption "at the reckless rate of recent years." That sounds very moral. The problem, however, is complex. Mr.

Trudeau makes no mention of two extremely important factors. Canadian rates of energy consumption are largely due to rapid economic growth in a country with a climxte far more than average and with very large distances. As internal trade expands inevitably energy consumption by the transport system will increase. It is facile to talk of highway speeds where there seems to be a variable margin of about one percentage point. If we are thinking rigorously of the problem we must also consider air conditioning in semi-tropical summer weather and even of the indiscriminate subsidization by the government of gasoline consumption.

Mr. Trudeau says our energy consumption is high "largely because we squander it." (That may be true of the executive jets used by his ministers (and private corporations), or the design of government buildings in which lights cannot be turned off at night. Is it really so true of individuals? So far as they drive Cadillacs instead of Datsuns, no doubt it is. ance of payments problems seem to be coming under some measure of control and to be less threatening. The world monetary order has been changed and strengthened and has survived.

Does this mean that we are "living in a new economic era" or that, we are recovering from some very severe shocks? It is surely too soon to say, although it is obvious that the world ecomomy does not remain static and undergoes steady change and development. The question that is certainly not settled, and which should be viewed with a cautious skepticism, is whether we are in a new order of things. Gradual breakdown The prime minister complains that he has been condemned for saying that "we haven't been able to make even a modified free-market system work in Canada to prevent the kinds of problems we are now experiencing and that it will do no good to try to create a pure free-market economy to solve our future problems because that won't work either." That is not quite what the prime minister did say in those broadcasts but that may not much matter. The question that remains is whether today's special problems, high inflation coupled with high unemployment, are a result of certain specific causes or whether they represent a gradual breakdown of the economic system. Given the magnitude of the special causes of trouble it is daring, at the least, to draw too definite conclusions at this stage.

Quite remarkably, Mr. Trudeau discusses the question of competition without re'erence to the openness of the Canadian economy and the fact that much of the competition this country's industry faces comes from abroad. It works in two ways: when Canadians try to sell abroad in the face of Continued from Page One trouble are fundamentally non-repetitive? When Mr. Trudeau talks of a "new ecomic era" he suggests a condition cut off from the past by its differences. That seems unlikely.

Far more probable is the proposition that we are going through a period of economic travail during which no one can see for sure whether the outcome will be greatly different. Specifics missing The weakness in the Trudeau argument as it was presented Monday night is the failure to take into account the specific causes of trouble. Three are paramount: The United States for years maintained a costly space program, a rising domestic standard of living and fought an inordinately expensive war, financing this in ways that were fundamentally inflationary and which led to a massive increase in international liquidity; In 1972-73 the economies of the entire advanced world and some parts of the semi-developed world came into boom conditions simultaneously in itself a rare event by the surge of liquidity; Following the Yom Kippur war, the oil-producing countries of the middle East began raising their prices until they had ultimately quadrupled, and compounded the immediate problem through a partial oil embargo. Forces of great fury Each of these involves forces of great fury acting on the world economy, leading to an international inflation of impressive proportions, producing balance of payments problems that have been frightening but which so far have not proven crippling. The inflation remains grave.

But the most acute bal 4.
