President Spinney's Warning

Canadians will continue to eXPBCK more 111 the way of government facilities and assistance in the future than they did before the war; but while there is a place for such measures ‘in Canadian economy if they are soundly 001N911" ed and wisely dniinistered, “government can distribute no be efits that individuals, through their labour, do not provide," warned President George W. Spinney of the Bank of Montreal, in addressing the bank's 123111 annual meelmg yesterday. v

Mr. Spinney said that nothing was further from his intent than to argue that social sccuritv measures were without value to the community. “but we deceiv: ourselves and others if we ac- cept and prorimlgate the idea that security can emanate effortlessly from Government, acting ln the role of benevolent and bountiful pro- vider." _

“Life on this planet being as it is," he said, “someone has to plough and reap, to plan and build, t0 exercise qualities of initiative, fore- sight and (laririg; and only this totality of pro- ductive effort can provide a real enduring basis for material welfare and economic security.

“I see no reason to believe that there can ever evolve an economic system so ingeniously contrived that everyone will have a high living standard and social security waiting for him as a matter of right, whether he works hard for it or not.”

In a review of the broad situation facing Canadians at the start of the long-talked-about post-war period, Mr. Spinney said many prob- lems remained to be solved but added that few countries could step from the realm of plan- ning to performance under such favourable conditions as Canada enjoyed.

T-he general manager, B. C. Gardner, rc- ported to shareholders on what was probably I10 most active year through which the bank has passed, and outlined economic developments

Canada and other countries as they were

y to affect the future of Canada's senior bulking establishment. '

that long term planning of capital expenditure for development and welfare schemes need not be limited by the short term annual estimates of normal budgeting. Recurrent expenditure on the maintenance of long term schemes will, however, be included in the annual budgets. The immediate task of the new Authority will be to carry outplans already co-ordinated by the former Development Committee. These involve the long term expenditure of some four mil- lion pounds of which half will be provided by Kenya and half by the British taxpayer under provisions of the Colonial Development and Welfare Acts passed during the war.

Obnoxious Bill Delayed

Pris-sis Minister King's decision to delay passage die Government's Emergency Pow- 1 ) arid re-write some of its clauses I being dcscr, as "a viotory for Provincial rig-libs." A victory for Provincial rigihts it may be, but the Ottawa’ Journal suggests that it is also, and to a much greater degree, a victory for d manners.

_ lll 15 offended against good imniiers. Here was a Government about to confer with the Provinces on Dominion-Provincial rela- tions, with good-will and mutual respect essen- tial to the gatherings success, yet choosing that moment to bring in an act which treated the Provinces as though they were puppet states, of no account. As an example of clumsiness and rudeness the thing was hard to beat.

Tongues of our statesmen these days drip talk about world co-operation. It may be that some of them need to learn that co-opcration begins at home, that if we can't secure decent relations among our governments here in Can- ada we are hardly likely to promote them much in the international field. After all, it would not have been so difficult for Mr. King's Govem- ment’_to have acquainted the Provinces with what it proptvsctl doing with respect to Bill i5.

Further: Bill i5 tells the temper that is too likely to come when too much of power is cen- tralized into too few bands. The men who drafted Bill i5 were not thinking beyond what they deemed tn be efficient; were not taking into account provinces and‘ legislature! and the people. Such factors in our system of demo- cratic, responsible government become dim to those who, fed upon power and always clamor- ing for more of it, become obsessed with the idea that their mission in life is to determine what’ the people should be given.
