—Neéed-fFor Action

Another non- -confi sulted, as expected, in Liberal government being sustained

in the House of Commons last night.

But if the government imagines that this. was-an indorsation of its policy of impeding development through onetary restrictions and denying “puler ‘and would-be homé-owners — ortgage funds, it must indeed be out

of touch with’ prevailing public 4

opinion. The country does not want another federal. general election at - this time, but it.does expect action on Liberal economic pledges made in the - November election; and this, in sub- stance, was what the Conservative motion called for. The need for such . action, is imperative, especially in these Atlantic” provinces, ~which~ are being. strangled by being. treated as

Our, economic problems were totally ignored in the Sharp. budget, _ as evidenced by the called- for in- terference in the schedule of our causeway project, the Island phase of which was to have been started early this spring.

It is true that the groundwork — for.a more comprehensive attack on: the problem was laid in a new five- year federal-provincial agreement which went into effect a year ago.

ALL QUITE LEGAL

ter Robert Winters will not be surprised by the careful arran- gements he made to protect | himself from excess income tax | payments when he returned from_business_and_ went. back in- | to public life last year. - Questions may be raised, how- ever, about whether—the particu-: | _ lar arrangements .were proper “nnfor a men about to become a cabinet minister. ae

The: facts are relatively sim- ple. Mr. Winters retired as pre- | a cat “of Rio Algom Mines’ Lim- ) | ited last’ December\ preparatory te joining the ca’ pany paid him a r lowance of $499,000. ‘A sum of this size would, of | course, be“subject to an enor- -

rement al-

ed as income for the year in which it was received. The In- come Tax act, however, provid-. es several methods by which. an - individual receiving a retire-

| HOW-1IT-WORKS vipat

a system by. which em- ployers make payments to trus-

es. The money is not taxable in the hands of the the employees only become |i- able for tax when they actually receive__payments__from~__ the fund.

Mr. Winters set up a com pany called Windix Holdings | | Limited. The officers of this con- cern are all, with one exception, | members of the Winters family, and there can be little doubt that | itis. controlled by Mr. Winters. ‘Windix appointed a trustee to administer a deferred profit- sharing plan, and the money. from Rio Algom was paid over to this trustee. Mr. parently qualifies as an .‘‘em- ployee” of Windix, and is entitl- | ed to receive payments from the ' fund. The whole arrangement was-approved by the Depart- ment of. National Revenue.

HIGHLY... ARTIFICIAL

This was, of course, a highly artificial set-up, to the real intention of the act, which was to’ encourage com- panies to set up genuine~ profit- sharing plans for all their em-

ployees. In fact. tighter regula- tions were foreshadowed in this '—- year's — budget. Many persons have taken advantage’ of this particular loophole. without ob- jection from th» denartment.

There ~.are three important ‘points to be. considered in judg- | ing this matter:

—It' was quite legal and in accord with. established _ busi- ness ethics. Canadian courts have repeatedly ruled that a tax- “payer has a perfect right td or- der his affairs so as to reduce | his tax liability.
