~~ Party Contributions -

It may have been with an eye on an advantage now enjoyed by the New Democratic Party that the Young Liberal Federation of Canada, at its recent annual convention, proposed that federal legislation be passed to make’. contributions to political parties and election candidates tax deductible. In any case, the Young Liberals could not have been unaware of the fact that the NDP now receives annually tax-free contributions from almost 200,000 Canadian trade union- ists. Under Canadian tax law, union dues are deductible; and since 1961 members of some Canadian unions

- have voluntarily donated five cents of

their monthly dues to the New Demo- crats. As the Globe and Mail points cut in

this connection, sixty cents a year is not a significant’ figure—hardly

~ enough to provide any tax benefit to

the contributor; but the fact remains” that it is regarded as tax deductible and therefore establishes a precedent. Clearly if one citizen or group of

__ citizens can deduct from taxable in-

come the contributions made to a-|

political party, then any citizen or group of citizens should enjoy the same right. Whether or not the idea that-such deductions should be permitted under any form is another-thing. We do not think they should.. We think it is an imposition: on the taxpayers generally that any party should be subsidized, tax-free, in this manner. But since one party has succeeded in finding a loop- hole in the law which makes no -provision for tax-free political con- tributions, perhaps it is time for a showdown on -the principle of the thing. Our Toronto contemporary sug- gests that this could be achieved by a public-minded person—armed with what apparently has become an ac- cepted principle in NDP financing— to claim a donation to. another poli- tical party as a legitimate deduction and to appeal the matter as a test case to the Income Tax Appeal Board and, if necessary, the Exchequer Court. A suitable volunteer could no doubt be found in the Young Liberal Federation. ~The Voice Of France? As expected, the French gov-

Encouraging Picture It’s evident that there is something big indeed going on in our fisheries industry, as the reports appearing in

‘today’s Guardian bear witness. The

upsurge is taking place throughout the whole Atlantic area, and we are right in the thick of it. The results could be of great importance, not only to our fishermen and food processors, but to all our people; and we suggest that they study the reports for a truly inspiring picture of the development plans that are-under way. — Perhaps the most encouraging as- surance that we are on the right path - comes from the federal minister of fisheries, Hon. H.J. -Robichaud, who -

says that never before has there been. grows “so much sction-in-titis-aresfor-the | Spamish coastal village Fie

The minister refers also to the establishment of the new oyster hat- chery at Ellerslie—the first of its kind in Canada; to the experimental seaweed processing plant at Mim- inigash, and continuation ‘of the co- -

“operation between the province's’

_ it is evident from the figures cited by

our provincial minister Mr. Rossiter, in his report on another page, that this prediction is already beginning to be realized. sk

It is on the development of, new techniques that the industry has made its big gains in recent years. We may

Those Statistics U.S. army personnel experts are.

to assure those facing the draft or other forms of induction. A draftee’s chance of getting to Viet Nam late in the summer, they say, is about 1 to 5. His chances of getting there at all is 1 in 3 over his two year hitch. Once there, his chance of being wounded in one way or another is 1 in 30. His chance of dying, being killed or naturally, is 1 in 119.

All such statistics, comments the Milwaukee Journal, became meaning- less in World War II.
