Obnoxious Taxation

‘According to an Ottawa dispatch in _the Financial Times of Canada, the strongest single pressure on. Finance Minister Sharp as he prepares his first budget isto drop the 11 per cent sales tax on building materials and production machinery. This demand has come from national organizations. as widely diverse as the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the Cana-_ dian Chamber of Commerce and the ‘Canadian Export Association. It has been included in the majority of the 20-odd pre-budget briefs submitted to the minister, and also in a large num-

* ber of letters to Mr. Sharp from re- gional organizations and individuals.

Building materials and machinery were originally exempt from the tax, and removal of the exemption was one of the more unpopular moves ‘in

the generally unpopular budget of former Finance Minister Gordon in June, 1963. Mr. Gordon made a par- tial.retreat before the wave of protest by imposing the 11 per .cent tax in stages. It took full effect in January, 1965.

It has been argued that this is not ‘the time to restore the exemptions, particularly on building materials where it might accelerate inflationary pressures. But experience of the last two years has indicated that this will not be a problem. The tax has done

~~ nothing to brake the non-residential construction which has accompanied the investment boom. Capital cost is not the major consideration in decisions of large companies~to- ex-- “pand to meet the requirements of booming markets. These costs can be passed on to the consumer, and in this way the tax itself has some infla- tionary impact.

This tax was Mr. Gordon’s pet | scheme and, like some of his other

—--_pright ideas, it miscarried. There is |

no doubt that it affected the govern- ment adversely in the federal election - of last November. Mr. Sharp. was never committed to its imposition, and now that his predecessor has quit the cabinét there ‘is reason_to doubt that he will insist on its continuance in.view of the opposition to it from ‘go many responsible quarters. In any case, it won't be too Tee now before we shall know. In-reply to a recent question in the House, Mr. Sharp said he expected that his bud- get would be brought down “earlier rather than later.” He refused to clarify this cryptic remark but it is understood that he wants his presen- “tation before Easter (April 10.)-In-the view of some commentators, it could be as. early as March 28.

Québec’s Objection

Ottawa’s manpower policy is said to | be jeopardized by the insistence of ‘Quebec's labor minister, Cartier. For- tin, that the provinces should run their own labor programs instead of relying on the National Employment Service. In particular he rejects the national labor mobility program, which enables, and even encourages, workers to move from areas where work is scarce to other parts of the country where jobs are plentiful. The Canadian Labor Congress has been quick to see the possible harmful ef- fects of provinces. rejecting a nation- | wide policy of this kind, :and * the federal government is being urged to be no less decisive in ns its authority. |

One ean-see the need bie a unified

policy in this regard. But before dismissing Mr. Fortin’s objection, it is well to understand the harsh fact on which it is based. "We need to understand it in. this part of Canada, for it is our problem too.

It is one of regional diparity. in | employment opportunities, with sea- sonal difficulties thrown in. Over the years. Quebec. like the Maritimes, has

|

tended w have a higher rate of |

than the weakest ink” |

| told | followers have taken ‘this as_ their

< eae than most sections of Canada, This means, in the Quebec

‘minister's words, that “if a- ~special -

manpower policy for. Quebec is not formulated we incur the risk that technical training programs wnder federal-provincial agreements will tend to drain our province's stock of skilled workers.”

In its second annual review, ‘issued

last December, the Economic Council |

of Canada had something to say about this problem as it affects the Mari- times particularly. It noted that economic conditions in this area have been reflected in high and sustained rates of out-migration of people from the area and in a rate of growth of employment slower than the rest of Canada. It is necessary, it said, to avoid restrictive and divisive meas- ures which would interfere with the free flow of labor and capital across provincial boundaries, but stress was also laid on the “urgent need’’, for achieving a better regional economic balance.

This involved, among other things, |

the making available “of additional financial resources to the govern-

ments of the lower-income regions

and through the appropriate federal

agencies: in order to help break the |

vicious circle of low productivity; low incomes, low government and low investments in growth- promoting services which are needed to improve the quality. and effective utilization of the available human and ’ material resourcés.” ;

So long as this “vicious circle” exists, how can the encouragement- of “manpower mobility” succeed as a national policy? How, indeed, can it work but to the detriment of areas

| -already plagued by- the ‘‘out-migra-

tion” of its. people to. more prosper- ious areas? Surely this is a matter of concern, and not to Quebec only.

Over In Britain

Commentators are in agreement that in the British general election

» which has been called for March 31,

the campaign will centre not-so much on Britain's foreign involvements -as on domestic issue. The platform Mr. Wilson intends to fight on is one of “economic- and social advance.” Labor, he declares, has already done

- more in 500 days of office than the

Conservatives did in 5,000 days, even with the tiniest of majorities. ‘The |_national plan is not an arbitrary ‘act of government imposed on people but a great and historical exercise in government by consent,” he recently an audience at Carlisle. His

=~

theme-song.

Under Mr. Heath the Conservatives will doubtless plug the theme that Labor's national plan is, in. Mr. Heath’s words, “‘totally unrealistic.” It has had, and the Tories will say actual economic problems. These they ‘claim recently have gotten very much’ worse. The country needs “more effi- ‘ciency, more investment, more _in- novation, and more competition.”

The Liberals under Jo Grimond have joined in this refrain. Of the

Prime Minister Mr. Grimond recently | remarked: “He has decided to call an

election because he has run‘out of paper.”’ This is a. reference to the spate of bills, white papers, speeches, inquiries, and on to that Mr. Wilson has produced, without yet much im- pact on Britain’s economic problems.

But Mr. Grimond's party runs ‘a serious risk of going under for good this time. The Liberals. inthe. recent past have enjoyed the support of 3,000,000 votes,,even though these have given. them only 10 seats. Polls now suggest that a major part of their electorate support has gone down the drain. Be this as it may, most corres- pondents agree that Mr. Wilson ap- pears to have a substantial majority

behind him—and ahead of him. Labor _

men are even talking of the possibili- ty that Tory Leader Heath himself could lose his seat.

OTTAWA REPORT. By Patrick Nicholson Marked Increase In Books By Canadians

Recently there has been a wel- ‘come increase in books written by Canadians about-our poli- ties and: politicians. These range from, considered history, based on laborious and scholar- ly research, to instant report- age rewriting the current news- paper headlines. A prime ex- ample of the, former is Joe

page biography of Sir Laurier, who ceased to be Prime Minister over half a century ago. The latter class is currently typified by Richard Gwyn's ‘‘The Shape of Scandal" which covers the dramatic un- folding of the Rivard affair be- -tween November 1964 and July 1965.,

The lacuna in this ‘spate of History - in - Hatd - Covers is the absence of significant personal memoirs by’ leading actors re- cently retired from our. politt- cal stage.

The authors of these many books on politics deserve a plau- dit for their publie spirit, for théy derive inadequate ftnan-

‘cial reward from their. efforts.

This inevitably. follows from the essentially local interest of the topic, coupled with-our small population. Yet their contribu- tion to our nation’s historical re- cords is invaluable for tomor- row's readers, as it is interest- ing for today’s.

Cosmetics

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

Trachoma ( eyelids) is the world’s leading cause of blindness. It is not common in this country except among In- dians and Mexicans in the south- west. A San Jose, Cal., epidemic was repo: ted recently among school s who shared a mas- eara pencil. No permanent eye damage occurred because the condition was recognized’ early | and treated promptly.

The outbreak involved more than 100 high school who swapped eyeliner pencils. There. was some speculation that they also borrowed other cosmetics and perhaps combs and hairbrushes. ‘At any rate, the conditicn is highly contag- ious and easily transmitted by

Trachoma is a virus infection of the external lining membrane of the eyeball and inner margin of the eyelid. The disease is in- distinguishable in the early stag- es from an ordinary eye infec- tion (conjunctivitis) in which the membranes are red along with watering, burning, and _ itching. The victim may believe that something is in the eye. As it progresses, the conjunctiva be-

dened and the lids thicken due to scarring.

The granular. appearance stems from the pebble-like licles dotting the surface. If disease advances, blindness en- sues. Furthermore; the scars in
