The Owen Sound Sun- Times, Oct. 22, 1969 U.S. foreign aid moves from bilateral concept VICTORIA (CP) United States foreign aid policy is shiftaway from the bilateral concept fostered by other Colombo Plan countries, the leader of the U.S. delegation to this week's Colombo conference said Tuesday. D.

Alan Strachan of the Aid for International Development agency said in an interview bilateral aid would never disappear from the U.S. program, but there was increasing congressional emphasis on channeling funds through such agencies as the Asian Development Bank. He said the U.S. felt bilateral agreements were harder to administer and generally less efficient than multilateral agreements. The Colombo scheme, as conceived at its inception in 1950.

supplies a forum through which the six donor countries--of which the U.S. is the main contributor-and the 18 south and southeast Asian recipients can Canada eyes markets in high-risk countries MONTEBELLO, Que. (CP) The Canadian Export Association wound up a two-day annual meeting Tuesday night optimistie that new markets will be conquered in the risk areas of the world. The major source of this optimism was the establishment of the new Export Development a federal government agency designed to give financial protection to Canadian firms investing or doing export business in high-risk countries. The corporation, which became effective Oct.

1, will protect firms against such noncommercial risks as nationalization, damage caused by riots or rebellion and losses suffered because of failure by customers to pay for products imported from Canada. It enable Canadian firms, at a disadvantage for many years, to be even more competitive than those of the United States, Britain, and other nations who for years have helped eliminate the risk problem in dealing in foreign territories. The establishment of the corporation means that companies not paid on schedule by foreign customers can turn their 'promissory notes' over to the banks in exchange for ready cash. The Canadian government will reimburse the banks and attempt to collect the overdue debts, eventually writing it off should the customer be unable to repay. ENCOURAGE FIRMS G.

O. Loach of Toronto, re-elected for a second one-year term as chairman of the association, said the new agency will encourage Canadian firms to seek investment and export markets in such trouble spots as South America and Southeast Asia. Large companies have been able to operate successfully in troubled areas but a smaller company in the past could not take the gamble because a loss of $200.000 would wipe it out, said Mr. Loach, vice-president of Union Carbide Canada Ltd. The export Development which replaced the Export Credits Insurance will open the Pacific rim, including the rich market of China, to Canadian business enterprises.

J. M. McAvity, president of the association, said the next step is to make sure that the development corporation is not to lie idle while Canada's export position weakens. Only if it's harnessed will it boost Canadian exports which have lost some of their momentum in the last year, he said. The a association.

which brought together about 200 export, shipping and government executives, gave serious study to the future of ocean shipping during its session Tuesday. Herbert Colley, president of the Shipping Federation of Canada, said containers represent a technological advance in cargo handling but he urged the shipping industry to keep ocean freight rates from rising.

Strachan said he felt the plan would continue to serve a unique role as a forum for free discussion of the problems in giving and administering aid, but urged fellow donors-Canada, Britain, Japan, New Zealand and Australia-to adopt a more regional approach to aid, particularly in the technical field. Citing the Asian Institute of Studies in Bangkok as a school that offered technical education to students from the entire Southeast Asian region, he said greater emphasis should be placed on such regionally-orient-1 ed facilities in the future. Mr. Strachan, who headed the Colombo bureau for three years and only returned to the U.S. in June, said one of the biggest problems facing developed and developing countries alike was the lack of "middle-level manpower" required for sophisticated modern industry.

"A doctor isn't a very good doctor if he doesn't have good laboratory facilities at his disposal," he said. The case for better "blue-collar" education was particularly strong in developing countries the Colombo region, he added. GEARED TO ARTS "Much of the educational machinery was left by the colonial powers and is geared to liberal arts. "I was a tool and dye maker -this is a group that is missing, even in developing countries," he said. Increased facilities for such technical training should be supplied to developing countries donors, making use of existing facilities and supplying training personnel.

On the possibility of an increase in foreign aid allotment this year. Mr. Strachan said Congress was being asked to approve a total aid budget of of which more than 40 per cent goes to Colombo countries. During the 1968 fiscal year, a total of $1,736,000,000 was funnelled to recipient. countries under the 000.000 went to multilateral organizations, many of which are involved in the Colombo region.

PHONE 376-4777 NY Times raps French quarrel with Canada NEW YORK (CP) The New York Times says in an editorial it is dismaying that the French government of President Georges Pompidou seems to be continuing former president de Gaulle's "wicked effort to help subvert and dismember Canada." The Times says: "There had been hope that an obscure junior minister in the French foreign office had simply gotten out of line recently when he let it be known, before visiting Quebec, that he had turned down two invitations from the Canadian government to pay a courtesy call in Ottawa. It was a false hope. In Quebec, Jean de Lipkowski did not stop after repeating the Gaullist nonsense about France sharing in Quebec's He compounded General de Gaulle's bad manners by assuring Canadians that their constitution allowed France direct relations with The newspaper editorial adds: "It is difficult to believe that a government as much trouble as President Pompidou's would seek an unnecessary quarrel with Canada, but under the circumstances Prime Minister Trudeau is fully justified in demanding that Paris clarify its position toward his country, and especially toward separatism in Quebec." Ontario appoints committee to plan urban housing KINGSTON (CP) Ontario has appointed a 20-member housing advisory committee to help the government plan development of its urban areas.

Hair tonic tough liquor compeitor VANCOUVER (CP) A member of the royal commission investigating British Columbia liquor laws suggested Tuesday distillers be given tax breaks to produce a lowcost liquor to compete with bay rum. Ed Lawson said it might be to the advantage of government to waive taxes to provide an alternative to skid road use of bay rum, a hair tonie with a high alcohol content.

Mr. Lawson asked Michael MacCormick, president of the Association of Canadian Distilleries, if the industry could provide liquor cheap enough to stop use of bay rum.

SHOT AN ACCIDENT Only one outbreak of violence was reported during the brief rebellion, and it appeared to be accident. Rebel officers said an unidentified soldier fired his rifle Tuesday night accidentally, and this set off wild gunfire at the rebel headquarters.

Government officials said 14 civilians, most of them students demonstrating on behalf of the government, were injured. Long-standing resentment over low military pay caused the rebellion Tuesday morning by the Tacna Regiment of the army's 2nd Division. The rebels were led by Viaux, recently retired from a division command in northern Chile after he complained that a worker in the American-managed copper mines was paid more than a lieutenant -colonel with 25 years' service.
