‘Stop acting like boyscouts’

OTTAWA (UPI) — Canada

Should impose cantent
quotas on its automobile
imports and quit being

“international boy scouts” to
create more jobs in_ the
country’s ailing automobile
industry. federal New
Democrauc Party leader
Edward Broadbent says.
Broadbent said Canada,
like many other nations,
should act in a more self-
interested manner to protect
itself in the face of in-
ternational recession.
“We're the only in-
dustrialized country in the
world that behaves ac-
cording to principles of tree

trade.” Broadbent = said.
“We're international boy
scouts . and as a result we

have 30,000 auto workers
unemployed. It’s a disastrous
situauon.”

Earlier, External Affairs
Minister Mark MacGuigan
told Broadbent that Canada
was still working on reaching
agreement on_ restricting
imports from Japan before
the current arrangement

expires April I.

He regretted International
Trade Minister Ed Lumley
recently returned from
Japan empty-handed but
said talks were continuing
among Officials.

“Since the Japanese are
not disputing whether or not
there will be an agreement
but what the contents of the
agreement will be, we do not
deem it to be a matter of
great concern whether we
reach the agreement by
April ! or not,” he said.

MacGuigan said that
although last year's
agreement with Japan was
not reached until June. it
was retroactive and the same
would apply this time. The
total number of Japanese
automobiles exported to
Canada after April | will be
taken into account when
computing this year’s total
under a new agreement, he
said.

Conservative MP Bill
Jarvis said the unem-

General Motors extends rebates

-OSHAWA, Ont. (UPC) -
General Motors of Canada
will extend its rebate
program to April 30 but will
not follow the lead of the
parent corporation and
reduce interest rates on new
car loans.

Company spokesman Nick
Hall said the rebate program

started Feb. 1 has been
“good for us” and meant
increased car and_ truck

sales. He said sales figures
would be released within a

few days.

Under GM's rebate
program, customers who
purchase or order 1982

models until April 30 will
receive rebates ranging from
$500 to $2,000.

Rebates of $500 were
offered to buyers) of
Chevrolet S-10, GMC S-15,
Chevette, Pontiac Acadian,
T1000, Celebrity. Pontiac

Replace Pts

6000, Oldsmobile Cutlass
Cierra and Buick Century.

GM will rebate $750 to
buyers of Chevrolet
Citation, Pontiac Phoenix,
Omega, Skylark, Chevrolet
and GMC light-duty trucks,
Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac
J2000, Firenza, Skyhawk and
Cadillac Cimarron.

Buyers of Cadillac Seville

$2.000.

In Detroit, General
Motors Corp. said Tuesday it
was cutting interest rates on
new car loans to 12.8 per
cent — nearly 5 points lower
than current levels.

GM said the lower rates
will be available until May
31 for buyers of new cars,
light-duty trucks and vans
and would save the customer
an average $825 (U.S.) over
the term of a typical loan.

percent, and blamed
Canada’s detenorating share
of the U.S. auto parts
market.

“Fifteen years ago Canada
accounted for 75 percent of
American imports of auto
parts, today it is 38 percent,”
Jarvis said.

“Under the auto pact our
share of the U.S. market has
been cut in half and the

result, of course, is the
human and economic misery
which is the by-product of
thousands of lost jobs.”

Industry Minister Herb
Gray said the government
would continue talks with
the United States to try to
improve the pact to reduce a
$35-billion deficit in auto
parts trade, but blamed the
U.S. recession for the fall in
sales from Canada.
