Worlds Highest Drug Prices
Result of High Profits,
Ads, Sales Taxes

OTTAWA-(CNS)-Canada has
the highest drug prices in the world,
government report declares. After
a 3-year study, the Justice Depart
ment's combines branch said four
factors are responsible for these high
prices.
. Monopoly control by drug makers
through exclusive patent rights. Drug
makers 1858 profits were 101a %,
one of Canada's highest.
Costly and large unnecessary adj
vertising and promotion. Advertising
costs were 25@o of sales incomes, the
survey says.
Lack of competition among re-
tail drug stores. Agreed mark-up is
almost 400.
An 1@o federal sales tax.
The report says most drug products
sold in Canada come from the u. S.
Most Canadian drug firms are sub
salaries or branches of u. S. COM
panies.

THE VIENNESE WALTZ
Bv ROBERT

Nikiti Khruschev, we are told, let
Western journalists at Vienna know
that he ''does not like the word
characterization"
He did not explain why it offends
him. But the answer may be that the
Soviet Union and especially the Red
Chinese have made grand miscalcu-
lation of American determination to
resist further Communist penetra-
ton of the Communist parts of
the world.
Hitler and Hirohito learned the
hard way that you can push the peo-
pie of this country only so far. Then
they begin to push back. That, it
seems to me, is the big lesson that
President Kennedy tried to impart
to the Soviet premier.
Whether Mr.. K learned the lesson
only time will tell.
The Vienna talks may we'll mark
an important turning point in Soviet

Propose Minimum Wage
For Farm Workers

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-(CNS)-
Migratory farm workers would get
at least 75c an hour, under bill
Senator Harrison Williams (D-N.J.)
introduced March ].
This bill would fix this minimum
wage the first year, raise it to 85c
the second year, boost it to 81 the
third year, and bring it up to the
minimum wage in other industries
the fourth year.
Williams, chairman of the Senate's
migratory labor subcommittee, also
introduced other bills to improve
housing, schooling, and welfare serv-
ice for these farm workers and their
children and to adapt collective bar
gaining procedures to meet their
needs. These proposals, Williams,
said, grow out of the subcommittee
2-year study.

Book ReuielUs
Doctors, Patients and Health Insurance

by the comments on the federal en-
ployes health benefits program adj
ministered by the United States Civil
Service Commission. The authors also
endorse the closed-panel, group prac-
tice type of health coverage such as
is operated by Group Health Associa-
ton in the Washington area, Health
Insurance Plan of New York and the
Kaiser Foundation health plans on the
west coast.
The entire varied field of personal
health care is carefully explored with
chapters devoted to the role of mod
ern hospitals, the drug industry, the
growing doctor need and shortage,
health carriers and the strengths and
needs in the medical insurance indus
try. The book is well documented by
extensive footnotes, tables and charts.
The authors carefully chart the
pattern of change and direction in
medical care and have produced a
valuable study in highly complex
and controversial field. I am sure
this volume will be carefully read by
all those dealing with medical care
problems.

With the present trading for trac-
tors for Cuban prisoners going on a
good background book is necessary to
understand why the capitalist COM
panies of the United States are al
lowed to take materialist view of
the captives and the Castro govern
ment's humanistic desire for tractors
rather than exacting punishment for
armed invasion of their island.
Indeed if this information by Prof.
Mills had been in the hands of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and our spy
system the foolhardy invasion would
never have taken place in the first
place.
1t is of vital concern that an under
standing of conditions which prevail
to the south of this nation be widely
circulated because Castro, not COM
munism, has caught the imagination
of the millions living there under
police terror and in a squalor and
which make our de-
pressed areas seem almost livable.
The conditions which built Castro
are overripe in more than dozen
Central and South American coun-
tries-and we are riding the dead
horse governments which are about
to topple.
The island Cuba is aware of the
world of nations while the continental
United States lives as if it were an
island.
The raunchy degeneration of gov
ernments to stimulate the influxes of
money not their own-the debase-
ment of people to make economic adj |
for any cheap opportunist |
that comes along requires serious
re-evaluation of modern American
thought.

ground on an island hilltop and with
moral right changed every traditional
concept in western and eastern philo- /
sophie and economic precepts-mod-
'rn history is upon us.

concerns the nature of war and the
object of defense. The author main
tains that conditions have so changed
as to render the defense policy of the
West, principally based upon the idea
of the "great deterrent" not only
stupid and foolish, but foolhardy to
the point of suicide.
The plea for abandonment of all
nuclear weapons of warfare is most
convincing, while the substitute plan
of non-violent resistance is advanced
as the only practical defense. This
psychological approach to defense is
explained in considerable detail and
justified by the fact that the principle
object of war is to change the mind
of the enemy anyhow. In the nuclear
age, there is no promise of changing
the enemy's ideas-only converting
us all to ashes and cinders-by the
use of nuclear weapons.
l disagree with the author in his
conception of Communists and Com
munism. He accepts the anti-Commu-
mist propaganda of the West much
too uncriticially to suit me. However,
it loses its Importance if we are
willing to accept his main thesis and
abandon military force in the strug-
gle between the rival social systems.
This means fair and free discussion
without the bludgeoning influence of
military force and it is foreordained
that the best side must win in that
event. He thinks, as do most Ameri-
cans, that our system shall win in
such contest. The very important
fact that force and violence is the
principle prop of "our way of life"
seems to have escaped him.
He thinks Mr.. Khrushchev. and
the Communist leaders generally,
will be greatly embarrassed by the
West changing to non-violent de-
Tense policy. Evidently something
went wrong with his ears, or under
when Khrushchev made the
first and very powerful plea for COM
plete disarmament. The joke seems
10 be that it is our own leaders who
realize that "our way of life" is
chiefly supported by force and vio-
lence and Sir Stephens plea must
fall upon barren ground
This leaves us with the present
dilemma, on the one hand we lose
the struggle for the human mind
without the aid of our precious force
and violence, while the alternative
IS to be either party of the first or
second part in destroying ALL civil
ization.
1 recommend Sir Stephens book,
not because l agree with him about
either of the two combatant social
systems, but because | feel as does
he, that it is more intelligent to live
and struggle than to die and stink.

WATCH ON The POTOMAC
Bv ROBERT G. SPIVACK. Washington. D. c.

President Kennedy went to Vienna
with the good wishes of all Americans
but with few hopeful of much accom-
plishment. And he made it clear in
his report to the nation that not much
was accomplished.
The question that now remains is
whether there is any value in further
negotiations with the Soviet leaders?
At the moment, at least, the alter
native to hating further talks is not
war.
What we may see is more agrees
sive attitude on the part of the United
States in freeing captive nations from
Soviet slavery. At the same time we
are likely to help build up liberal,
democratic. non-Communist forces in
the under-developed areas and pro-
vide help to raise living standards.
1t suddenly dawned on many people
in this country that the Communists
never intended their interminable
talks to produce tangible results. They
were merely buying time.
WHY WE WENT ALONG
Americans are patient when it
comes to foreign affairs. We never
want to hasten a showdown. Native
goodwill compels US to give the other
side the benefit of all doubt. Every
one realizes the consequences, in the
nuclear age. of a hardening of atti-
tudes.
But Americans also do not like to
be played for suckers.
Now many are coming to feel that
the Russians have achieved exactly
what they wanted during these pro-
longed negotiations over a nuclear
test ban. They got the ''ban" without
submitting to inspection.
We do not know what has been
going on inside the Soviet Union dur
ing the years of negotiation" Those
who say that our intelligence services
undoubtedly would know if they have
been Cheating, or if they are de-
veloping new and more terrifying
weapons. are not very convincing.
What our intelligence services did
not know about Cuba, only 80 miles
from our shores, is too vivid and re-
cent a memory.
Where do we go from here?
First, we do what apparently we
are starting to do in Latin America:
send more men like Adlai Stevenson,
md send them more often. Get to
Know the democratic, but anti-Com-
nunist, Latin leaders. Learn their
Study what they are doing
% solve them. Help the anti-dictator-
hip forces.
Second, do the same thing in south
East Asia. Work for closer ties with
ndia.
Third, take new look at our whole
system, including the posi-
'ility of resuming nuclear weapons
ests.
| hope that it will not be necessary
o resume nuclear testing. But we
aust face up to that possibility, UNI
'leasant as it is, unless the Commu-
list world is ready to make an ac-
ommodation that really means some
hing.

The committee, and I quote,
Question the ACCESSIBILITY of

I fully understand what
they meant by without

their blunt phrasing implies

lament the sacrifice forced on

people by leaders obsessed

MIAMI BEACH, Nov. 10
Communism, a return to
Teddy Roosevelt conservatism
and education of the upcom-
ing generation of statesmen
highlighted the Saith annual
convention of the influential
National Association of Real
Estate Boards which ended
here last night.
Time and again during the
five-day session guest speak
ers and member officials
hammered away at the Red
peril and what most termed
creeping socialism and danger
to States rights.
Two Of the most outspoken
critics of the New Frontier
were o. G. Powell, outgoing
president of the 70,000-mem-
Der organization, and World
War I Ace Capt. Eddie Rick
enbacker, board chairman of
Eastern Air Lines.
Others who Joined in the
chorus were Osborne T. Boyd,
chief of the Housing Division.

Administration. and James o.
Boisi, vice president in charge
of real estate for the New
York Central Railroad.
Hits Old Theme
Mr.. Powell hammered away
at an old theme. He casti-
gated the New Frontiersmen
for their plan to create a
cabinet-level Department of
Urban Affairs. He said he
fears it would take much
control of real estate away
from individual operators and
would stress urban renewal at
the sacrifice of individual
home construction.
He also criticized the Gov
eminent for attempting to
bring about forced housing"
This, he said, was the trend
at Federal and State levels
to make it compulsory for a
homeowner to sell to anyone,
regardless Of race, creed or
color. provided he had the
necessary financing.
While racial integration
was not mentioned, it was
plain that Mr.. Powell had
