Captain Darrach Home On Leave from Alaska

Captain Gordon Darrach, Chap- lain with the Armed Forces sta- tion at White Horse. Alaska, ar- rived at his former home in East Royalty on Sunday after I year in the service in the North country. Captain Darrach is accompanied by his wife. formerly of Pictou County, NS. and their young son Ian, and all were glad to see the end of their 5.400 mile trip, which fortunately was not marred by si disagreeable incident of any kind.

After graduating and-his or- dination, Capt. Darrach joined the Canadian Army and went overseas as a Private where he served for three years finally be- ing drafted into the Chaplain Ser- vice. On his return from over- seas he ministered to a parish in Nova Scotia for a short time un- til he signed up as a Padre with the R.C.A.M.C., arriving in White Horse last August.

In speaking of conditions there Capt. Darrach said, "We had one Island chap. Cpl. Gallant from the west end of the Province, who is in the transport service and. Nursing sister Louise McQuarric in the hospital at White Horse. Miss McQuarrie is a daughter of Rev. Mr. McQuarria now station- ed at Hopewell, N.S."

The Northwest Highway. form- erly known as the Alaska High- way extcnds from Dawson Creek. B.C., to the Alaskan Border, a distance of about 1200 miles.

Received Guardian Regularly

"It might interest you to know," said Captain Darrach. "that we receive The Guardian regularly. and frequently it is only ten days old." The explanation was that after the paper arrived by train at Vancouver. the conveyance was then by boat to Skagway. and thence by rail to White Horse, and if a close connection was made with the skagivay boat. the ser- vice was surprisingly fast.

In describing the winter weath- er Capt. Darrach said: "I was at Snag Airport during the excep- tional coid snap recorded last win- tar, when 7'1 below was register-

ed. This was extremely excep- tional." .

At White Horse. 50 below is ac- cepted as winter weather, but

there is absolutely no wind, so the cold is not distressing.

The homeward trip was broken at many places including Sas- katoon, Reglna. Chicago, Kingston, the New England States and Fred- ericton. NE. A stop-over of five days was made at Muskoka where the Padres of the Army, Air Force and Navy were in confer- ence and the chief speakers were Rt. Rev. R. H. Waterman, Bishop of Nova Scotia, and Dr. Clarence Nicholson. Moderator of the Un- ited Church of Canada.

In Kingston, Ont., the visited with a cousin. .'frs. MacArthur. for a few days.

Captain Darrach, who returns to White Horse after his leave has expired. expressed his great pleas- ure and satisfaction at being back in his native Province when it is at it's best, and said "The Island sure looks good to me."

Federal

Taxation Agreements Approved By Commons.

UITAWA. June as -(CP)-- The

commons today approved renewal of federal taxation agreements with the provinces.

Members gave third and final reading to a bill authorizing the government to conclude agree- ments with the provinces for the five-year-period ending March 31. 1057. The measure now goes to the senate.

In debate preceding adoption of the bill, George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, suggested that a royal commission be estab- lished to recommend ways to te- allocaic taxing powers among the federal and provincial govern- ments.

Finance Minister Abbott, stating that he believes the provinces have been "well compensated" under the agreements, made no comment on Mr. Drew's proposal.

Stanley Knowles (CCF-Winni- peg North Centre) said the pri- mary concern in the agreements should be the rights of the people of Canada and not the rights of the various governments as sug- gested by Mr. Drew.

Solon Low. social Credit leader, said the agreements do not get down to a permanent solution of the problem of allocat- ing taxation powers. The Social Credit group would like to see such a solution without. disturbing the balance of federal power on one hand and provincial and mu- niclpal on the other laid down in the constitution.

Levels Blast AI Drew

James Sinclair (L-Coast Capil- ano), parliamentary assistant to Mir. Abbott. said that when Mr. Drew was a "lecturer and author" from 1936 to 1941 he had advocated establishment of one central gov- ernment for all Canada. Mr. Drew had been quoted as saying in 1935 that ”if we were starting all over again who would be crazy enough to set up 10 governments in Can- ado."

It was only when Mr. Drew had become premier of Ontario that he started advocating decentral- ization of government.

Under the tax agreements, the provinces give the federal gov- ernment almost exclusive use of

the personal income. corporation and inheritance tax fields. In re- turn the provinces receive pay- ments based on population and value of gross national production. Mr. Abbott indicated eight of the 10 provinces - all except On- tario and Quebec will renew their agreemerits. The provinces had agreements expired March 31 last.

Other Business

Members also considered legis- lation authorizing loans to the pubiiciy-owncd Canadian National Railways for new equipment and other capital expenditures.

At the house opening Mr. Ah- bott tabled supplementary esti- mates totalling s82.732.18B. They brought the federal government's estimated expenditures for 1952- 53 to 84.418.528.997.

Transport Minister Chevricr llald he has no knowledge of United Kingdom contractors offering to help Canada with construction of the St. Lawrence seaway.

In the taxation debate. Mr. Ah. bott said the agreements have en- abled the provinces to "plan their own programs with greater assur- ance" and have "undoubtedly im-

proved their credit in financial markets." "At the same time. efficiency

in over-all tax administration has been achieved .hltherto unknown in this country."

What Provinces Will Receive

The following figures show what the provinces will receive in the first year of the new agreement- with figures for the last year of the aid agreements in brackets:

Newfoundland 512,291,593 (39,- 65i.000); Prince Edward Island 33,915,671 (s3,05'l,00il): Nova Sco- tia 520,150,413 ( 16,503,000): New Brunswick s10,62-L628 (5l3,i90,- 000); Manitoba 324,760,084 (320,- 035,000); Saskatchewan 325,570,- 643 620,747,000); Alberta 329.368,- 527 ts21.57ll,000)', British Colum- bia. 341,376,383 632,155,000).
