CLNEKAL 38 THE LLADEHPOST, IILCI.NA, SASK. MAY 27, 1978 rairie discontent harms Quebec Provincial obituaries the purchaser in the West, though when the western farmer sells his grain, he's the one who pays Hie freight to the Lakehead, not the fellow buying the grain. "So the western producer says: 'I'm getting hit ways. I'm paying the freight to bring eastern manufactured goods to this market, I'm paying a higher price on many lines of manufactured because of protective tariffs." Examine, in contrast, what happens in the oil industry, Mr. Manning suggested.

Canada imports more than half its 1 needs, though the Alberta oil industry has been running far below capacity. Western oil is delivered only as far east as Toronto because of foreign -oil arriving on Atlantic tankers. "We only supply 48 per cent of our own market," said Mr. Manning, because, producers are told, to move oil to Montreal would mean an extra one or two cents a gallon in price. "Immediately the great cry from the East is: "We couldn't do that it would be terrible, unthinkable." "Try telling that to the Western Canadians who are paying extra on everything to look after the East's tariff protection.

"How can we pay it on everything we buy but they couldn't pay one or two cents per cent of Canada's oil production in her domestic market. "This again becomes political. We lack the population. Wc lack the votes. So Parliament feels they mustn't upset the people of central that "it isn't that our people are opposed lo attention being given to those concerns." "Thai isn't so.

They're quite happy to see them given consideration. "But Ihcy feel resentful when their own concerns, just because they're in another area and a different kind of concerns, are treated as being insignificant and described as complaints of people whining about their state. This creates strong emotions. "Different people react differently. But I think it would lie correct to say that a substantial number, very sympathetic to the concerns expressed by the French-Canadians, are less sympathetic today as a result of this type of backlash." The picture in some Eastern Canada quarters of a West bristling with red-necked hostility to Quebec did not materialize in a reporter's travels, and was denounced by informed citizens in ail four western provinces.

"There has been an honest and conscious effort to understand the whole thing and go along with it, mainly to support Canada because we don't want to sec il fragment," said Edmonton editor Andrew Snaddon. And author-editor Bruce Hutchison of Victoria, while speaking specifically of attitudes toward Quebec, also appeared to have broader things in mind regarding British Columbia when he declared: "This province is more mature in its thinking and more sophisticated than a lot of eastern people seem to imagine." J. V. Clvne, chairman of MacMillan Bloedel biggest British Columbia timber Some Eastern Canadians view the West as bristling with red-necked hostility lo Quebec, but Ibis did not materialize in a Montreal reporter's talks in Uie western provinces. However, reports Joseph MacSween of the Montreal staff of The Canadian Press, there has hern some erosion of goodwill.

This is another in a series on Western Canada as part of a cross-country assignment in which MacSween lias been reporting on attitudes lo Confederation. By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff riter Western Canada's discontents are undercutting sympathy for Quebec among people in the Prairie provinces, says past premier E. C. Manning of Alberta. Goodwill in a multi-racial population is being eroded by the feeling that the federal government and the rest of Canada heeds Quebec but not the West, in the analysis of the man who led Alberta's Social Credit government for 25 years.

"It's a combination of two things," he told a reporter. "First, long-standing grievances that arc legitimate these arc in the economic field primarily. "Now on top of that a feeling that our people have faced those problems for years, asked for consideration to be given with little or no success. "Then they see the cultural and linguistic concerns of French-Canadians in Quebec getting, in their view, far more attention not only by the national government but by people across Canada." Mr. Manning emphasized company, and a former B.C.

Supreme Court justice, feels Canada has not yet emotionally become a nation but regionalism appears to be ''deteriorating." "One of the greatest problems of regionalism is that Ottawa, as a region, may be gelling out of touch with the rest of Canada. "The prime difference between the East and West is over tariffs. Jn years gone by the West was free trade, the East protectionist, though this is rapidly changing now. This is demonstrated by the reaction to Finance Minister Benson's white paper on taxation. The West is vitally concerned in regard to the future of incentives, much more so than the East." Such old grievances as tariffs and freight rates may tend westerners suspect to cause weary sighs among central Canadians who feel they have heard the arguments many times before.

But there are new dimensions. "The setting up of tariffs many years ago to create a viable manufacturing industry was justified to establish a nation stretching sea to sea," said Carl Nickle, president of the Independent Petroleum Association of Canada and member of a pioneer oil family. "But many westerners now feel this principle of support for and protection of manufacturing industries which provide the major base of the central Canadian economy should in fairness be extended to all parts of the nation if it is lo be continued at all- "If Western Canadian arc to pay anything from 30 to 50 per cent for whole host of products manufactured in the East, (hen surely Eastern Canadians should be willing to pay some price to support in- dustnes basically Western Ca-" nadian." Oil is a good example, said Mr. Nickle, stating the federal government is subsidizing refineries in Eastern Canada for processing foreign oil rather than expanding domestic consumption of the home product. The traditional -a d-easy mingling of Western Canadians with their American neighbors underlines lack of rapport with their Eastern Canada compatriots.

"My Christmas cards come from Montana I don't know anybotiy in Toronto," said a farmer visiting Winnipeg. When a Winnipeger talks to a man from Minneapolis about the weather it is not small talk they are discussing something in common. In Saskatoon, Duff Spafford, a young professor at University of Saskatchewan, said that considering the influences on him since boyhood. "I couldh't bring myself to cheer for Toronto Maple Leafs." Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadicns have damn few fans out here," a friend remarked. Yet secessionist sentiment time-honored though it is was discounted generally.

Mr. Manning said it would not be honest to pretend there is any easy answer to the transportation and freight problems of Alberta, so far from seaports and centres of heavy central population, "But the type of thing that disturbs people is, for example, a conglomeration of rates under which it is possible to move certain commodities from Montreal lo Vancouver on a special seaboard rate and back to Edmonton cheaper than you can move them direct from Montreal to Edmonton. "It's pretty hard to led a man on the street that that makes sense." The great bulk wheat and other prairie agricultural production was sold on world markets at world prices over which farmers had no control whatever. "On the other hand, the great bulk of wha they buy is imported from central' Canada behind a tariff imposed for the benefit of the manufacturers." Mr. Manning concedes that farm machinery is a notable exemption and that the whole question of tariffs is complicated.

"But, take a farmer who crosses the border and sees his American neighbor buy a TV set for $200 less than he can in Canada. "Now' you have to talk pretty hard to this farmer to convince him it's a good thing to have a tariff protection because we've got to have industry in Canada. "The feeling in the West is not just towards the central government, but a feeling that the central provinces are hot appreciative of the impact- on the West. "Just about everything we buy in the manufactured area has in it two cost factors: protective tariff that is, the price here compared with what it would be if we could import from the U.S. and secondly, high freight cost because of the distance it has to come.

"And this is not borne by the producer of the commodity in Eastern Canada but by trict.

ESI- ilpT: lo answer Scaborg TORONTO (CP) Energy Minister J. J. Greene is to speak on Canada's energy policy tonight in the wake of a call by the head of the United States Atomic Energy Commission for increased co-operation in developing electrical energy systems. Mr. Greene, who caused controversy with his recent rejection of U.S.

suggestions for a continental energy policy, is to address the Canadian Nuclear Association annual meeting. Dr. Glenn T. Seahorg. head of the AEC, predicted in two speeches here Monday that Canada and the U.S.
