Mr. Northcott said in the course of his ad- dress that a comprehensive plan 0t reconstruc- tion hacl been started by the various church bodies in Britain immediately following the raids. The people over there, he said, “are facing their tasks of reconstruction in a gal- lant and high-hearted manner." The Congre- gational Church alone, is completing a drive for $2,000,000 for reconstruction purposes. Doubtless hundreds of millions will be spent on this work in the course of the next two or three years.

BIIr-Tho proposed Kickham amendment t0 the Prohibition Act. apparently deslxned to be p uirbuglt the Legislature dying moments of the session. will be met. with the most violent op- po-sltfon from the temperance 10r- ces. This opposition will be the greater because of the lack of time allowed for consideration-

Ftrst, let ft be noted. that the amendment 1s contrary to the splrft and intention of the Prob!- bftton Act. Indeed it. is no true amendment but actually a new act. It ls, tn effect, a measure of government control; and sooner or tater would lead to all the flag- rant abuses existent ln the other eight provinces and 1n the U.S.A. Immediately liquor revenues would become an important factor ln the finances of the province. The door would be open. the thin edge of the wedge would be ln.

FARMER MUST PAY AND PAY

Siiz-Not only has the policy of the CCF trailed to declare specif- ically against. natlonalizlng the farnts-now oi- at. any future time —but its authors would compel the farmer to pay more into the na- tional treasury.

Under their plan with regard to Unemployment Insurance. the farmers will take on new exiwtftins out of proportion to some other classes of the community. At. the some time, where the CCF gllbly promises relief 1n regard to Income taxes. the proportion of benefits would be less for the farmers than for others, because farm families are only 311.2 per cent, of the pop- ulation, as ts show-n on Page 90 of “Make This Your Canada"

\_ 1i. 178 of “Miike This Your Canada,” the latest CCF book, ap- pears the following: “The CCF‘ would immediately extend the Un- employment Insurance Act to cover various types of workers now excluded, such as wage-earners en- gaged 1n agriculture . .

While he still believes that collec- tive farming and trading "may com; in time; meanwhile the more private fanning 11nd tradbig flour- ishes the better for everybody.

There can be no doubt that the continuance of these ex- cessive taxes itftiz-r the war would put; private enterprise into revﬁsc.
