It is unparliamcntary, according to n ruling 6r the Speaker of the House of Commons, to use the word “bribe" in describing Prime Min- lster King's proposal for the distribution of largesse to the extent of $200,000,000 a year lmong a section of the electors. Let 11s say, IS an exchange puts it, that it is a measure "brought down in the last days of the last ses- sion of a (lying Parliament by a Government whose lease of life is about to expire unless artificial respiration is resorted to."

.\lr. King's warm sympathies, it is recalled, were 11ot so apparent to those who were struggl- ling along tinder tl1e llllClllPlO_\'lll€ll[ conditions of 1930, following the last post-ivar boom. In tll first agonies of the depression which was born tinder .\lr. King's regime, the provinces tur11ed to the Dominion for aid i11 meeting the human wants of those who were without work.

“What." asked .\lr. King, “does the sugges- tion zlmount to that is being made by those who ask us to dip into the Federal treasury and take out money raised by taxation from the people of Canada as a whole and give it to the prov- tttce, "' .\ntl he went on:

"So far as giving money from this Fed- eral treasur_v to provincial governments is con- zerned, in relation 1o this question 0f u11en1- ploynient, I would he prepared to go a certain length jiossihlv, (this was his warm sympathy rt work) in meeting one 0r two 0f the “lest- rrn provinces that lmve lYYOQYCSSlVC Premiers at the head of their kipver11111cnts—"

Sonic lionorzlltle members: "Oh, Oh."

Mr. King: "Ilut I would pot give a single cent to any Tory tioverntnent on earth."

Hon. B. llennett: "Shame."

Mr. Ring: "\\'l1;1t is there tn be ashamed of?"

tiOn, and concentration will be discouraged, in- stead of encouraged as it was by the taxation arrangement: in existence before. The other “ , in our taxation system between the last war and this is the change in succession duties. Succession duties are much higher. They are much higher in the provinces, and we have dom- inion succession duties as well. The combined effect of the three fact0rs—-the factor of tax- ability of all victory bond interest, the factor of steeply progressive rates and very much higher rates of taxation on victory bond interest than was the case before, and the factor of succes- sion duties —— will make for dispersal rather than concentration, a fact to which the hon. member for Rosetown-Biggar, (l\'Ir. M. J. Coldwell. Leader of the C. C. F.), has given no consid- eration whatever.

Interesting Change

An interesting thing is being pointed out by Quebec newspapers. It is that while Federal min- isters, including the late Ernest Lapointe, in- vaded French Canada in 1939 to help defeat llfaurice Duplessis, this because of his anti-war policies, no Federal minister seems to be troubled in the present election by the anti-war policies of anybody. Night after night election plat- forms ring with statements which make Mr. Duplessis in 1939 seem like a war zealot, yet never a patriot departs from Parliament Hill t0 take up the cudgels 0n behalf of Mr. Godbout. The anti-war men are allowed to run wild.

In 1939 the Government took great credit to itself for its help in beating Duplessis. If it was entitled to credit for its action then, what is it entitled to for its indifference now? Au answer might be interesting.

From House 0f Commons debate: Hon. j. L. Ilsley (Minister 0f Finance): - - - It is true, I believe, although I have never checked the figures, that after the last war there was a tendency to concciltration of victory bonds itl the hands of big holders. But there have been

. two changes in our taxation system between

that time and this which set in motion directly opposite forces. The first is that our income tax now taxes all the income fr0111 bonds. At

the end of the last war, with a large number 0f fpfldpiidiltlcd during the war tax-free as to in-

mn-te, they took on a value in the hands of per- sons in receipt of heavy incomes which caused them m become concentrated in their hands. This is not the case’ at the present time. The case is just the reverse, because persons with large incomes. if they acquire victory bonds after this ivar, will have to pay a very large patenting metimcs as high as eighty, tnnetv, or nincty-fivqper cent of the income which

receive 0n those bonds-by way of taxa-

taneously, \\'ar Cabinet announced that although there was a shortage of 40,000 men for essen- tial civilian work, no further reductions in Army strength could be authorized. At Dec- ember 30, 1943, gross enlistments in the three fighting services had risen to 870.960——two men i11 every" three of the 111ale population between 18 and 4o. Of this number‘, 629,074 had volun- teered to figl1t anywhere i11 the world. The Uni- ted States equivalent would be 12,000,000. Cas- ualties ituntbered 67.565. The Prime Mittister had laid it down: "The fighting strength of the army is the primary consideration and the Gov- ernment is determined that it shall not be treat- ed as a reserve of manpower to be drawn on to maintain civilian services at the expense of the offensive against Japan." m n- m -
