The Queen's member made pointed reference to the forth- coming by-election at Halifax. Unusual attention had been de- voted to the Maritime Provinces in the budget debate and in re- cent mlnlsterial announcements. he said.

election in the offing, Mr. Speak- er." he said. "then and only then is an attempt made to recognize the fact that the Maritime Pro-

"! am almost envious," he add- ed, "that we haven't a by-election coming lip soon in Prince Edward Island."

In more serious vein. Mr. Mc- L-ure ‘said he was pleased indeed at the large number of members of all parties from the Maritime Provinces who took part in the budget debate and who ably call- ed the attention of the merit to the outstanding needs of the east coast provinces.

“It afforded me a real pleas- ure." he continued, "when our good friend from Davenport, Joliri R. MacNicol, climaxed the Mari- time section of this debate with a splendid first-hand and authorit- ative summary of our needs and ways and mean of overcoming some of our chief difllculties."

Smell Attendance

The Queen's member chided his fellow-members of the House on the small attendance of the past two weeks. "When a private mem- ber gets up to speak now," lie said, “members scuttle out of the

chamber as if some ship captain had shouted "All ashore that's going ashore." For himself. he had attended every sitting of the House since the debate opened and listened to every speech made by a member of any party from the Maritime Provinces. Mr. Mc- Lure recalled Winston Churchill's

famous remark on ‘blood, sweat and tears’. ‘ "This budget." he said. "may

have meant sweat for the Finance Minister and his colleagues. but it certainly meant tears for the tax- payers of Canada. When the searchllght is cast on the budget. "the nigger in the wood-pile ap- pears. The budget as it stands is stifling production. accentuatlng unemployment and fostering dis- content." Unhlr Budget A fairer of

manner reducing

taxation than set with iii LhPi

1947 budget, Mr. McLure said. would be to exempt entirely from income tax single persons earn- ing 01300 and under, married per- sons without dependents earning $2.000 and under, and married persons with dependents earning $2.500 and under.

"This budget in my opinion." he said. "is particularly unfair to women. notably to married wo- men who now receive tax exemp- tion of only S250 a year instead of the former S000.

"It looks very much is though now that the war is over. the Government has no further use foi- the women of this country, and this despite the known scar- city of nurses and school-teach- ers sll across the Dominion."

The budget, the Queen's mem- ber charged, ofiered no relief for business, no relief for the farmer and no treaties for the fisherman. In addition. little if anything had been done. he said. to clear up the beaureaucratic incompetence and reckless spending tendencies of some of the departments, boards and commissions.

Mr. McLure told the House that he had received many complaints from his constituency of Queen's over continuance of the tax on chocolate bars and soft drinks.

Unhappy Spectacle

"In the budget.“ he said. "we have the u ‘* spectacle of the Minister of National Iqlm and Welfare handing out baby bonuses with one hand and the Minister of Finance sneaking a- round the corner and ‘swiping

the children's candy and soft drinks with the other." The Queen's member strongly

urged lifting the existing tax on clocks and watches on the grounds that they were household and everyday necessities and not luxuries. While citing a Biblical quotation indicating that while the budget was delivered by Mr. Abbott. it was in realit the brain- child of est-Finance inlster Ils- lay, Mr. MoLure was interru ted a Presbyteriln Veterans‘ A airs

inister Medkehtle who quea- tloned the Accuracy of the quot- ltiofl.

At the close of Mr. Manor-A's speech. Mr. Mackenzie admitted that the Prince Iflward Island member was correct according to the King James version.

ATTACK DISEASE

Great progress has been made by modern science in understanding he causes of typhoid and peb- typbold, and in applying measures for their eradication. The death rate nu dropped markedly in this ggyttmiy, dug to filtration and chemical treatment of water supplies, pasteurization of milk. and the control of disease-germ curlers.

Public health officers say that it. all goes to prove what can be done when a concerted attack is made on disease‘. Wonders achieved with these fevers can be duplicated they assert. against almost any gm" type of human atflletion. particularly iii the public cooperates with the medical profession and the research scientist.
