Federal Financing

It is understood that ‘Finance Minister Alley will bring down the budget in the House of Commotis some day before the new Victory Loan campaign opening on Oct. 22. This means that while the taxpayers will know what is in store for them before they buy government bonds, much of the actual debate Oll the budget will likely be delayed until Mr. llsley gels back from a tour of Western Canada which he is planning in connection with the Loan. The Appropriation Bill to cover expenditures on war and rehabilitation, totalling $i,365,ooo,ooo, was introduced by resolution in the Commons Motiday’. This amount is to cover expendi- tures front Sept. l to March 31 next. A vote for $2,000.000,000 was passed in the last ses- sion t0 cover the first five months of the fiscal year.

When the Loan campaign opens, emphasis will be placed on the fact that it is definitely mother war loan. It is estimated, for example, that Canada tuust raise a sum of about $25,- oo0.o0o during the present year to provide ade- quzfte medical attention and hospitalization for the im-n who are coming back wounded and sick. La-t vear, members of the House of Commons were told that at that time $750,- 000,000 would be needed to pay gratuities and take care of re-establishment credits to men [Clklrllitig from battle. One year having passed since then, the cost of that important under- faking has now reached about $900,000,000. In addition to all that, the Canadian people must meet the cost of bringing the troops home, the maintenance of our forces of occupation in Germany, and of the men who are waiting de- mobilization. There are also heavy domestic ex- penditures, included in the total of the Ninth Victory Loan objective; but the major portion of the money which Canadians will provide for rl-ie purchase of bonds in October and Novem- ber is needed to cover the cost of n war already ‘ought and yvon.

More Pesticides

Canadian farmers may reasonably hope for a steady improvement in the supply of pest control materials, states the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. There will be improve- ment in supplies of those pesticides which come from overseas, such as pyrethrum from East Africa and Brazil, rotenone from the East Indies and Brazil, nux vomica (the source of strychnine) from India, and red squill from the Mediterranean area.

Many peeticidal chemicals which have been going into the munitions of war will again be available to civilians. Examples of these are arsenic, boric acid, chlorine, formaldehyde, sodium fluoride and tar acids.

' Nicotine sulphate will continue to be scarce. It is made from tobacco waste but the record increase in the consumption of cigarettes and cigars has resulted both in e. decline in their quality and in the quantity of available waste tobacco. The demand for nicotine insecticides increased throughout the war. It may be t2 months before Canada approaches a norvna position for nicotine sulphate.

Mr. King Andi Foreign Affairs

Prime Minister King has departed, via Washington, on a visit overseas. In his remarks on foreign policy, made in the House of- Com- mons before his departure, says the Montreal GaseI/c, there was the suggestion that the Prime Minister proposed aggressively to con- tend for the indcpetirletit action of Canada in foreign affairs, and t0 use his influence, and that of this country, in order to oppose the con- centration of authority and decision in the hands of the Big Five nations. This vievirpoint, says the (Insr/lc, has bccn one long held by the Printc Alinistcr and one to which he has from time to time given expression. One 0f the not- gble speeches in which this attitude was expres- led was that lit: made in the House of Com- mons on Jamiarv 3i, i944. in which Lord Hali- fax's ]Jl'1i]>(I~ZllS for a more organic union of the C(|lllllli>Il\\'(‘llllll were opposed on the ground that thc decisions in foreign affairs must be

lEHlC \\'illl the participation of all nations, both great and ~lllflll.

\t the llunil-itrton Oaks conference in the summer of 19.34 and at the San Francisco Con- ference lii<t spring’ the shape of world security took incre:rsiiigl_v that of a concentration of authoritv in the few nations which possessed the power and the responsibility for the mainten- aticc of IlCIICI‘. Pcforc leaving to attend the San l-"rzincisco Conference, Mr. King made declarations very similar to those which he nirirle last wcck on the eve of his departure to attend the council of forcign ministers in Lon- don. Tln- <ng;_~.-siio|| in .\lr. King's speeches, then a< now. ivns that he would support or lead I l1l()\'(‘lllt‘lll of the small and “midrlle" nations against this concentrated shape of world organ- izntion.

.\t tlu- San Francisco Conference, however, Mr. King‘ follower] a rolc of quiet helpfulness flint contr.'i~.ted very notably with his earlier in- “cations ol policy. Now, after this interval " ‘mt- six months, Mr. King seems to be re- z. .nq with vigor to the attitude which he held

on the eve of the gathering at San Francisco. It is again his declared view that the continued concentration of primary authority "in a very few hands”, and the decisions “between 'the great powers on issues of general interest" are to be vigorously opposed by this, country.

Though Prime Minister King (who is also Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs) now hastens overseas to represent Canada, there is little room for satisfaction in the prospect of Mr. King, in the name of this country, tilting against the council of foreign ministers, as the self-styled and self-appointed protector of the little and middle powers.

In consideration of the difficulty of the problems under consideration in London, and tlle delicacy of relations between the great povv- ers, would not Canada's prestige and interests be more faithfully s'"v:*d by Mr. King if he wcrit thoughtfully an; constructively to aid iii the council's intricate tack instead of setting out determined to assert the national pretensions of Canada and other nations, or even to make or lead assault upon the foreign ministers’ coun- cil itself?

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia get the credit for the Maritime Province gains in July sea fisheries production, says the Fisheries News Bullnlin. In Prince Edward Island, the fishermen did not come off so well as a year ago, either as to size of aggregate catch or as to dollar return. The main fisheries in pro- gress in Island waters during the month were those for cod and hake; the poundagc and valuc figures were down in each of them, though, on the catch side, the hake fishermen had nearly as good luck as in I944.

Trouble Spots In Orient

(James D. White, Associated

Prass Staff Writer)

Trouble spots grew darker in the Orient during the week-end. They are not new. The Allies Just uncover them as they move ln, disarming Japanese troops and trying to plck up the pieces for each other — and themselves.

Indo-China continues to be the most. threatening area, with 1.000 French troops about to arrive in Siilgon, where they may face some 20,000 armed Annamese who don't want French rule to return.

The British commander at. Saf- gon, sent. in with a regiment of Indlnn troops to take over the southern half of a country of 94.- 000,000 people to disarm their Japanese conquerors finds it nec- essary to use some of these Jap- anese troops to help maintain order. More than 300 persons, 1n- cludlng 100 Frenchmen, have been killed in this area.

In the north. around Hanoi. Chinese occupation troops have declared themselves the supreme authority for the time being, and refuse to recognize one local An- namese independence movement, (Vlet Mlnh) which had set up a government. under the Japanese. One report suggests strongly that they are giving free rein to a rival native outfit. which appeared about the time they occupied northern Indo-Chitia and hasn't yet ac- counted for where lt. gets its funds.

S I I

The Brftlsh forces have another headache in the Dutch East Ind- ies, where they have gone Into Batavla to take over from sur- rendering Japanese until Dutch forces can arrive. There another native independence movement has sprung up (establishing c "gov- emmen." after Japan surrender- ed). Ill: is headed by native lead- ers whom the Dutch claim are political nobodfes who collaborat- ed utlth the Japanese, but whom the British commander — again with only small forces at his dia- posal — insists the Dutch meet. Violence hasn't yet been reported from the Indies, but s serious food shortage exists to complicate the situation.

The Chinese, although taking over the northern half of Indo- Chlna for the French, have had to accept American help 1n their own outlying areas and ask for it on the diplomatic front. Latest. American land-trig in China Ls at Tlentsln, where American Mar. ines are ashore. Tlentsln ls a large North China port almost surrounded by dissident Chinese forces who claim they belong to the Communist 8th Route Army.

China meanwhile has asked the United States to ascertain from Slam exactly what has been going on in Bangkok, the Siamese cap. If-Bl. where there has been trou- e between natives and the large Chinese minority.

One of the things behind all these mlxups ls the inability of various powers to get
