Industrial Development Bank

It is interesting to note that the activiti a the. Industrial Development Bank are short. y to be extended to this Province, and that representatives of the Bank will be available for discussion of loan applications on March 28 at the Bank of Canada agency here.

The Industrial Development Bank was. in- Cerporated by Act of Parliament during 1944 cs a subsidicry of the Bank of Canada, func- tioning under the same president and board of directors, It was established to supplement the activities of other agencies rather than to com- pete with them, and the Act of Incorporation requires that it should extend credit only when the directcrate is of opinion that similar credit would not be available elsewhere on reasonable terms and conditions. The Bank is specifically prohibited from engaging in the business of deposit lending.

Chiefly it is to medium and small indus- trial enterprises that the Bank lends assistance, this phrase being interpreted as meaning a manufacturing, refrigeration, shipbuilding or electric power plant. The Bank may not lend to trade, transport or service establishments such as stores, truckers, restaurants, theatres, | etc., and reasonable protection to the Bank inj all cases is of course insisted on.

The monthly statement of assets and liabil- ities of the Industrial Bank as at June 30, 1946, showed outstanding loans and investments of over four million dollars. Of the Bank’s $25,- 000,000 capital stock, subscribed by the Bank of Canada, $10,000,000 is now paid up according to the Canada Year Book 1946, from which the above information is taken.

Control of Ring Rot

Reflecting the wish of conscientious pro- ducers, the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture plans to tighten its regulations governing the production of Certified Seed potatces. An amendment to the regulations was recently des- cribed at a meeting of the Ontario Crop Im- provement Associaticn by J. W. Scannell, As- sistant Chief, Plant Protection Division.

The proposed amendment will require the grower of Certified Seed polatoes to plant all potato fields on his farm with one of the three classes of certified seed. He muy continue to produce table stock for his own use or for sale

but this table stock as well as his secd stock | must be grown from Foundation, Foundation A, or Certified Seed.

Behind the proposed amendment is the need | for greater control of bacterial ring rot. The | Department has observed that most cases of this disease occurring in fields entered for certifica- | tion are found in areas where large fields of | table stock are grown. Table stock grown from | unhealthy, uncertified seed can contaminate nearby seed stock grown from the very best seed. The proposed amendment, Mr. Scannell said, should limit this danger of contamination.

While second-hand: bags may still be the) greatest source of infection, field machinery, | especially diggers and planters, is also known to spread bacterial ring rot. To reduce this | risk, the amendment will, if it becomes law, | restrict the use of ficld machinery. If field equipment is used in fields planted with un- certified seed, its additional use in planting,

e

cultivating and hervesting certified seed will be prohibited. :

Prince Edward Island is fortunate with re- gard to absence of ring rot, a fact which hed much to do with the selection of Island pota- tocs fer the big order now being loaded for the British Ministry of Food. The disease Is ex- tremely. hard to handle once it makes any in- roads, and for this reason every effort made to aliminate it throughout Canada is of value to every grower ard shipper.

A Drastic Remedy

A strcrq cpponent cf the continuance of wartime controls is Mr. John T. Hackett, M.P. for Stanstoad, whose spoech on the Draft Ad-! dress in the House of Commons dealt chiefly | with this topic. He asked his hearers to con- sider, among other things, the shortage of of- tice and factory space, and the hordes of gov- ernment employscs occupying useful space in most of the larga buildings of all the principal centres of the country.

“We are told at times,” Mr. Hackett add- ed, “that it is impossible to find young men or young women to undertake tasks in the busi- ness werld., The reason is that they hav2 some kind of job with the Government. They are in a crown compeny, a beard, or a commission, that they occupy, if in Ottawa, some of these temporary buildings. | sometimes think that if a cleansing flame could wipe out the temporary buildings which have been put up here it would render a great service to the people of Canada. They are filled with people who were congre- gated there for the purposes of the war and who have remained for no purpose other than to increase the burden on the taxpayers.”

Britain’s Tax Burden

Lord Beveridge, author of the British social security plan, is said to be studying a special citizen-security scheme which ‘would provide welfare grants above the minirium guaranteed under the Government's present “cradle-to-the- grave” National Insurance Act.

The question is fiom what source the nec- essary funds to afford this security will come. Under the Beveridge Plan, the contribution from

ae

a

the National Exchequer for 1945 was estimated at 265,000,000 pounds and ten years hence, 519,- 000,000 pounds, together with contributions from employers and insured persons,

This additional burden upon the British taxpayers, coming on top of that imposed by years cf war, would appear to rule out any hope of a lightening of the taxation which they are at oresent required to pay. How heavy that is, a few figures applying to higher incomes are sufficient to indicate. Income tax on 2,000 pounds in 1934 was 408 pounds; in 1946-47, 725 pounds; on 10,006 pounds it increased in that per- iod from 3,927 pounds to 6,512 pounds. Income tax at present on 50,000 pounds totals 45,037 pounds. There would seem to be no surer way of killing the geese that laid the. golden eggs.

Incomes in the lower ranges have likewise shrunk in value. For instance, in the case of provision made for dependents by an invest- iment, say, in railway shares to bring in an in- come of 250 pounds, that income today is esti- mated to be worth 145 pounds after income tax is deducted and the shares under the national- ization scheme have been converted into Treas- ury bonds bearing 2’2 per cent.

It is true this Province is fortunate in getting the order for disease-free potatoes for Britain out of the continental morket, Trade Min- | istcr MacKinnon announcing that contracts | tetclling $330,872,575 have been awarded by the Cenadian Export Beard and the Canadian Commercial! Corporation on behalf of France, | China, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and | Czecheslevekia, as follows: British Columdia $32,356,280; Alberta $1,273,956; Scskat¢hewan $70,990;. Manitoba $931,626; Ontario .$122,- 637,18; Quebec $171,102,255; New Brunswick $348,628, and Nova Scotia $2,151,351.

Federal Government policy, so repeatedly | stated by Mr. Gardiner, is to limit wheat pro-|

‘duction; increase livestock production, with the | announced intention of thus capturing the Brit-

ish market for livestock products. The U. K. iovernment’s’ White Paper, Economic Survey for 1947, states specifically that U, K. Gov- ernment policy is to switch production as rap- idly as possible from wheat to livestock pro- duction. It would be pleasant to know wheth- er Mr. Gardiner is going to convince Mr. Stra- chey, or Mr. Strachey is going to convince Mr.

|Gerdincr, for it is quite important for produc-

ers and consumers to get their policies mutu- ally adjusted. cd * ww *.

Eighty million extra units of electricity will be provided each year by a new United King- dom project which involves harnessing the wat- ers of two rivers in Scotland. Details of this scheme which will enlist the aid of the natural forces in overcoming Britain's temporery fuel difficulties have just been anncunced », the North Scotland Hydro-electric Board. It is the most recent addition to a series of big can- stictional projects being undertaken by the Board to ensure the fullest possible use of High- lard waters in the generation of electric power. The total annual output from the entire scheme wil} reach 500 million units.

Mr. Jean Francois Pouliot, self-acclaimed implacable friend’ of the Liberal Government, informed the Administration with more sorrow han anger, that in spite of 15 years of patient

study, he could not accustom himself to neo-}

Liberal ideas “more conservative than thos2 of the Progressive Conservative Party, more social- istic than those of the C. C. F., and more op- timistic than these of the Social Credit.” The zeulous Temiscouata reformer insists that there is still hope for the party “if we get rid of the obnoxious elements within it,” because it hos a populor background and appeal. But he is sad when he contrasts today’s Liberalism with that of years gone by, when it had been the friend of the individual, the promoter of private in- itiative, defender of decentralization, and 100 per cent Canadian in its outlook. Those were

the days, he sighs. ee A comparison of the rise in the wholesale price indices of Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States reported in the Bank of Conada monthly statistical summary, shows Canada’s wholesale price index has remained closest to its 1926 base figure of 100. The com- parison was based on establishments of indices in each country at 100 on the basis of prices in 1926. Since prices at that level were not necessarily equal in the three countries, the present index figures are not directly compar- able, However, the tables showed that Can- ada’s index had risen only to 111.8 by last Dec- ember while Britain's index jumped to 145.2 and that of the U. S. to 140.9. In the year ended last December, however, the U. S. index leaped 33.8 points from 107.1, while figures for Can- ada and the U. K. remained relatively stable, advancing 7.9 and 8.4 points respectively.
