Dr. Whitton remarked that Canadians are more and more coming to realize the strong prac- tical reasons for strengthening the ties that keep the British Com- monwealth togcther: that public opinion is becoming more aware that the Canadian standard of living depends on exposting prim- ary and agricultural products to Britain; that with the advent oi the air are and atomic bombs.

Therefore her best hope for peace would seem to be to strength- en the British ‘Commonwealth mechanism which. if one Dirt i5 attacked. brings into action one- quarter of the land surface of the globe and one-quarter of the peoples of the world. .

“The Province of Nova Scotia suggests that Whether this ~onier- encc comes to an agreement or not. preparations should be made now to rs-study tha duties and fields of operation of the Dcmin; i and Provincial Governments,

“Where necessary new a location of cwera and duties sh uld be ms c as between the Dominion and the Provinces and exclusive

The present Domin on proposals went only a short distance toward of responsibility and sources of revenue. lie he Dominion had expressed willing-

Income and cor- poration taxes alone yielded O12’! per c ta in 105. In o her fields. such as gasoline. amusement. electricity and pari- mutuels, the Provinces had oper- ated alone before the war and the Dominion now wmted to retain its wartime taxing powers.

,“'I'he provinces. on the other hand. are left with great and growing obligations in respect of the construction and maintenance of highways. education. health. rural eie caters. mans ernent of mines and other elements of the public domain."

National adjustment grants m. cuiated on the fiscal requirements of certain provinces, to bring provincial services up to the aver- age Canadian standard, were an integral part of the financial " lsna recommended by the Howell oi; Conunission. In 1941 the Dominion accepted that principle. It was up. piled in certain wartime tax agree-

mepts. Special rrovisinns

“It must be noted also that the new Dominion revision of its ro- ppssis recognizes the special ud- getary problems of two provincial governments and makes special c ncessi n. for them while deny- ing such to others."

Before the wartime tax agree- ments. the municipalities of New Brunswick occupied the income and corporation tax fields “in a general and substantial way.” Un- der the present agreement, tho Dominion in effect pays New Brunswick municipalities $1.384,- 410.

Now New Brunswick was asked to exclude the mu icipalities from these fields but "a? the expense of the provincial treasury."

“No one can reasonably suggest that the needs of our municipali- ties should be met out of our flat raic per capita grant."

If this became necessary, New Brunswick would have to divert $3 out of every $15 received as sub- sidv to the municipalities.

“To state that result should be sufficient to prove thl case for special treatment for our prov- ince. having in mind that an avow. ed purpose of the Dominion's pro- gram is to place each provincial government in a position to pro- vide the services for which It is constitutionally responsible.”

Mr. McNair said the people of New Brunswick were “compelled with practically every purchase of manufactured goods to s_v a 5.11,.

will doubtless seek to continue to shelter behind the protection of national policies."

His Province was obliged to "place great store in Federal rub- sidies."

The Rowell-Sirois Commission's recommendations. as enlarged in later studios. would have liflprgy- Mi ihc financial position of New Brunswick by nearly $4_p90|qg0 annually.

Unless the co-operntlvo lrit

which was so prevalent in 3 ar- iottetown during the war years is revived and the citizens become more sensitive to the great aebt they owe the Island war veterans. the industrial survey will be a failure. F. Walter Hyndmnn. pre- sident of the Charlottetown Board of Trade, told the Gyro Club last_ nirht. . One result of such s survey would be the ability of its com- mittee to anticipate business open- ings in the City for a perlo of five years: another would be bst, as a result cf the surveft find- ings, the committee could recom- mend to the vocational traininz authorities certain trades which should be taught in preparation for an increase in that trade‘: activities. On the other hand, Mr. Hyhdman said. the report of the survey would enable the commit- tee to suggest that certain trades or occupations be not encouraged because of the surplus ski-lied lah- our already in that field.

Mr. Hvndman ‘recommended the survey should make a thorough studv of the possibilities in the building trades and also suggested that the survcv might easily reveal the practicability of manufactur- inz several products in thk Prov- ince which are now imported.

In closing. Mr. Hvndman stated all that was needed to make the SLIFVGY B SUCCESS WE! IOITIE iii- ifinfive rm the part of the com- mlttcc. a well-organized plan. and a profound faith in the future of thc Provhcc.

1600 Unemployed Relief Olaims From Local War Veterans

The local unemployment IIISUF- ance office has had added to its other duties the weekly paying of 1,600 claims from ex-service per- sonnel and those on unemployment relief.

Without carefully worked out plans for the handling of the scr- vice men's claims. the unemploy- ment office would be in a state of confusion all the time, Mr. J. B. Murlcy. local manager, said yes- terday. The office not only handles the unemployment claims, nut conducts a registration bureau whose data is available to both employer and cmployee. It also issues national registration .c-rti- ficates. and has a very large out- of-town correspondence with em- plow-rs and employees.

Of the 1.600 claims handled each week. 1.000 are for out-of-work benefits for err-service personnel. The remaining 600 are claims for unemployment insurance, most of which are l‘n the City.

In order to have the payments made to the cx-servlce personnel without too much delay or con- fusion. the applicant is told to call at the office at a certain hour. If payment begins at i! o'clock. then five of the applicants are tolrl to he there at that time: the next five are requested to present themselves at 9:05: the next five at 9:10. and so on. Each man has his papers checked and verified and the check made out and pre- nented him within one minute so that every Jive minutes from the time payment begl s, five men have bccn accommo ated.

Postal Claimants

The task involving most of the clerical work is the checking over nnd making out checks to "postal claimants”. Mr. Murlev said. These “postal claimants" are ex-servlco personnel who live in the country and who are not able tn make req- uln" visits to the City. Their stoic- menis that fhov are out of work have to be verified by two of their nefohhnrs and all the “mitten-In- mattcr on tho regular form pres- cri-bcd for that purpose, has to be car-Mull" checked by the unemploy- necnt office.
