depleted ¬ pleted Conservative party holds its annual meeting in Vancouver this fall a matter of top importance will prob probably ¬ ably be the selection of a new leader The BC section of the party has been without n lender since Deane Finlayson retired last year following a string of defeats at the polls The Tories hold no scats at present in the BC legislature A number of names arc being talked up for the job They include Davie Fulton MP for Kamloops former federal justice minister and now minis minister ¬ ter of public works In fact he was offered the job recently but declined Other possibles are Stuart Fleming MP for Okanagan - Revelstoke and piesklent of the provincial party Gowan Guest able young lawyer-politician who served a year as Prime Minister Dicfenbakcrs personal assist assistant ¬ ant Ian Pyper another young lawyer who does much of the party work as first vice president Torque McLeod unsuccessful Tory candidate in the 19C0 provincial election and Mr Finlayson whom friends think should be re reinstated ¬ instated While much serious thought is doubt- less being given to the problem the Tories appear to lack any organized drive It would bo well for the party hier hierarchy ¬ archy to establish a small committee now well in advance of the annual meeting to approach one man of recog recognized ¬ nized high calibre whose name could be put in nomination One such candidate could well be Howard Green As Member of Parliament for Van Vancouver ¬ couver Quadra Mr Green has won considerable distinction and public acclaim His election majorities make him almost a certainty to win his seat at Victoria He has served his constitu constituents ¬ ents and Canada well and for long years both as MP and as minister of external affairs Mr Green is at the pinnacle of his career lie could perhaps be persuaded to come home to help the provincials on an elder statesman basis He would be a great reviving force at the polls It is very important to British Col Columbia ¬ umbia that the Conservative party be revived here Its total absence from the Legislature has contributed greatly to BCs present lack of good stable and economically sound government A really good leader could be the answer Liberals Ready Their Weapons OTTAWA KT The Liberal opposition is burnishing its ar armor ¬ mor and cleaning its guns in case the government surics otes of non confidence jn

big business the biggest in the country and that it should run its affaiis in a big business businesslike ¬ like way The commission discovered that government isnt doing this that it is bogged in red tape riddled with feather bedding and that its obsolete machinery and methods stifle initiative and responsibility and encourage inefficiency and waste The commissions tabula tabulation ¬ tion of the systems short shortcomings ¬ comings is not surprising Mainly it is a particulariza lion following intensive study of weaknesses that insiders have long recognized but with certain important features First it is an assessment of the governments whole labor force numbering nearly 500000 and thus the commis commissions ¬ sions findings and conclu conclusions ¬ sions are of an overall and definite nature Second it is an assessment of the efficiency of the coun countrys ¬ trys biggest single employer labor group against tho efficiency of other large labor groups Thirdly exposure of waste wasteful ¬ ful red tape Miarls needless paper work costly filing of useless material time wasting concentration at cabinet level of decision authority on minor matters and the retention of incompetent emplojees be cause the system makes it hard to fire them cannot but result in corrective action It would be inexcusable if the politicians who decried the Liberal governments waste and extravagance now fail failed ¬ ed to end the waste and in inefficiency ¬ efficiency of their own opera- tions The commission compris comprising ¬ ing two chattered account ants and a lawyer enlisted more than a

to be on the way up again Sir William P Hildred director general of the International Air Transport Association re reports ¬ ports Sir William said at IATAs recent 18th annual meeting in this Irish capital that pre preliminary ¬ liminary figures for 1961 show that the worlds scheduled airlines took in a total of 5780000000 and spent 5 920000000 for a net loss of 140000000 The ability of the 93 lines belonging to carry people grew faster than the traffic he said and made 19G1 the fourth year in the last 10 in which airlines operated at a net loss Averaging the past decade airline net profits have been one half of one per cent The percentage of loss in 1961 2 4 per cent was greater than at any time since 1948 Sir William said Fewer big jet aircraft would be coming into service in 1962 and this gave hope that the growth in traffic would catch up with airline fleets with the big and ex expensive ¬ pensive jets plus increased costs of airport and naviga navigation ¬ tion facilities were important factors in the poor financial showing of the air industry faalct TOcvttop REPORTING fessional people both to advise and to undertake study pro projects ¬ jects The tcsults is that the commissions report is sub substantially ¬ stantially the icport of indus industry ¬ try sitting in judgment on government The explosive growth in the scale of government ex expenditures ¬ penditures necessitates the adoption of modern and efficient management methods similar in many re respects ¬ spects to those employed by business the report says This idea permeates the re port and is staled repetitively as Both kinds of organiza organization ¬ tion ie business and gov government ¬ ernment share the common objective of achieving maxi maximum ¬ mum productivity The inv t mediate aim of the tech techniques ¬ niques of management devel developed ¬ oped for industry is to attain the organizations goals with the greatest possible economy of effort Consequently most of the techniques of manage management ¬ ment developed for business can be adapted to govern government ¬ ment The great obvious differ difference ¬ ence between industrial pro production ¬ duction and civil service pro production ¬ duction is that industry is motivated by a desire to make profits But the commission argues that the business ap proach to governmental ad administration ¬ ministration should not fail on this account In large indus industries ¬ tries the profit motive the desire to reduce costs and in increase ¬ crease efficiency in order to produce greater shareholder dividends does not permeate deeply into the Industrys actual production force Con Consequently ¬ sequently other incentives are provided or encouraged by management high wages good working conditions other - ww 4UUW C3JWI131UU-
