The Budget

As was anticipated, liinzltice llitiister llslcy": Budget speech. delivcretl.ii1 thc llousc of Com- mons last night, contained antiouticctticnt of 50mg icdtiction in persnitzil income, corporation md are“; profit taxes. The income tax reduc- tions are claimed tn he "stibstantial" but they will nut Cllllll.‘ illln effect until next January. '1‘1,¢,-¢ i, p» liq 1t “etimplcte oxfrlizlulitlg and simpliticaziiirr" iii the tax rate structure in this held, which \\ill be welcomed by evcrybntly. Tzttrrttiagt- dividend- hf cit-operatives and simi- lar payments are allowed as dcdtictiotis, and tax exemption i. wittinued to credit unions. Farm- ers and llnllt‘l'lllt'll will be allowed to pay taxes 0n the llllsis of their average income over a three-rear" pcriwl. lt is also proposed to offer new li\'e-_\‘t-:n' taxation agreements to the Pro- vince.» on an ttltflttlllll basis, which is the tll0si promisingt feature of tho budget so far as those concerned with plulllcllls of provincial finance are concerned. ‘this may mean a great deal t0 Prince lidward island, depending on the kind 0f agreement we sticcced in making.

The Finance Minister had to report a stag- gering increase of some billion and a quarter dollars in the net debt during the past fiscal ycar, bringing the total up to over thirteen bil- lions. 'i‘hcse astronomical figures mean little to the layman; but the fact that in 1938, a. year before the war, the total net debt was some three billions, indicates the dizzy pace at which we have since been travelling. Of course, there was good and stifficient rcas0n for deficits dur- ing the yours of huge war expenditures; but now that the war is over one would expect a better showing. Debt carrying charges account for a great deal of lllg increased expenditure, but there are departments of government where one would expect to find drastic postwar reduc- tions, and where bureaucracy seems to be flour- ishing as luxuriantly as ever.

- .\lr. llslcy reported that in the 8th Victory Loan, during the spring Of I945, a total 0f lpproximittcly' $1,564 millions wins obtained. In the 9th Yictory Loan, floated in October and November, total subscriptions amounted to $2,025 ntillions. Other borrowing during the year took the form of refundable taxes, increase in treasury bills, salc of war savings certificates and stamps, and a "modest increase" in the floating dicht. \\’e scent, fortunately, to be owing most of our war borrowings to ourselves.

The Finance Minister is optimistic with regard to thc outlook for employment. Let us hbpe he is a. better prophet in this respect than Hon. Mr. l-lowc. He warns against inflationary pressures, which can only be combatted by pro- ducing goods in greater volume, so that the greater buying power of the country will result in tnore goods at reasonable prices, rather than in fcwcr at higher prices. To business men in particular he appeals “to hold prices dOwn and get volume up, over this next critical year." That is good advice, though it may be easier said than done.

The Fur Industry .

The cstziblishmcnt of a united Canadian fur organizntivm to assist the orderly marketing of pelts and also sponsor judicious advertising which \\'<>ulrl greatly strcitgtltcrl and safeguard the CClllltlllly nf this national industry, is rc- commctitled in an excellent article in the current Agricultural Institute Rrricrv by Mr. C. K. Gunn, superintendent of the Dominion Experi- mental I'm: ltnnch at Stunmcrsitlc. t\'Ir. Colin's subject is "litir litimiiig" and he covers this whole extensive suhjcct in a fcw compact pages.

It may surprise cvcn some 0f our Island Kders to learn that today the Canadian fur trade has rcachctl an animal turnover of more than thirty million dollars, and that, spread over 10,000 fur ranches across the Dominion, there is ailolhcr capital investment of some fif- teen million dollars in breeding stock and fur ranching cqtiiptnent.

The fur rztitching industry has shown its virility- by weathering two world wars, and the severe (lcprcssinn of the early 3o‘s. It i135 also shown its adaptability in overcoming a decline in market dctriaml, by the development 0f new mutant types of foxes and mink. Mr. Gunn be- lieves that as Canada assumes the role of a major export nation, the industry will continue to-play its part as an important export, and also, the greatly increased means of travel open- imz up the vast Yukon and Northwest Terri- tories augurs well for still greater expansion and development of Canadian. fur resources.

"Today, as in the early days of the fur trade, the majority of furs are exported from the Dominion. Over 8o per cent of the fur belle hiarvested in Canada are shipped abroad, mltkl i fu" industry, essentially that of an , Under recent wartime emo- ff. m‘ have served as m. import-

increase of 30 per cent over that of the previ- ous year.

Mr. Gunn stresses the increasing import.- ance of producing for quality rather than quan- tity. He also discusses, as above notrd, the need for a united Canadian fur OrgztnizatiOll and adds: “In addition, the-adequate techni- cal assistance, the rcadty availabilty of scrums and vaccines for disease control, the complete freedom from stifling taxation, as well as u. (iovermncnt SDOIlSOFCd campaign for lntllll0li0ll of ‘the Canadian Fur Pelt’ in the nrtrkets of the world would do much to further establish Canadian fur products."

Making Haste Slowly

Although some two months have passed since Mr, Vincent Massey retired as Canada's lligh Commissioner to the United Kingdom, there has been no official word of his succes- sor. This tardiness is in contrast to the action 0f the United Kingdom Government in ap- pointing a new British lligh Contmissinticr to Cattada within n day nr two of Mr. Malcolm MacDonald's rctirentent. \\"hat is the explana- tion? It is probably a political one. Without tirofcssing to know the answer, the Ottawa Journal offers this comment:

“\\'e are told constantly that our relationa with the Yniterl Kingdptn become increasingly intportant, that the duties of our lligh Cnmntis- sinner in London are lteavy. lf that be so, and we think it is st», why is the office left vacant? There are times when we are forced to think that the (ioverntncnt nf Canada is pitifully slow, hesi- tant and indecisive i11 coming to decisions.

"lf Canada's relations with the United Kingdom are as important and extensive as we believe them to be, then the Canadian High Commissionership to London should not be lcft vacant for two titnnths. It is all very well, and perhaps entertaining, to ltave daily tales about lVIr. King's political longevity; it would be more comforting to have Government decisions giv- ing proof that the loitgevity is useful. In gov- ernment, the ornamental and romantic can be greatly overdone.”

Hon. D. C. Abbott is gaining 0n Mr. P. Martin as a possible successor for the Prime Minister, says The Letter Review. Mr. Martin has fairly definitely associated himself with Mr. Claxton, in preaching more Government spending, while the maiority of the Cabinet and of the Liberal caucus are pretty well con- vinced that this is now the wrong policy.

So Soviet Russia has experienced dissen- sions within its own borders though it kept its troubles to itself. lt was to be expected any- how, no Empire built and maintained by force has ever been known to continue intact for any length of time, and an Empire, misnamed a Republic, cannot hope to be an exception.

Many here, more especially in Hunter Riv- er district, will be pleased to know that the Rev. R. I. Berlis, B. A, B.D., has received a un- animous call to succeed the Rev. Dr. Donald as Minister of the. Church of St Andrew and St. Paul, the principal Presbyterian Church in Montreal. In his early ministry he officiated at Hunter River, and later acted for Rev. Dr. Legato at St. Jam-cs during his absence. He went overseas as chaplain, proving one of the most successful both in England and at the front. Before going over, he was assistant at St. Andrew and St. l'aul’s, which hitherto has never given a call to any Canadian, chosing the ministers direct from the itiost outstanding ccclesiastics in Scotland.
