Neither Government nor Oppo- sition supporters are unanimous in their views on the critical dollnr situation. On the Government aide, representatives of gold min- ing constituencies are urging re- turn to the DD-cent level despite Mr. Abbott's pronouncements. On the Progressive Conservative side. at least two members urge that Canada extricate herself from the Bretton Woods agreement and let the dollar go free on the world market. ,

One of the members. Col. Alan Cockerem of York South. said that in s free market, while the Canadian dolls: might drop below 00 cents, it was only worth B0 to l’! cents in money markets of the large American cities today. In a free market there would be s nat- ural and economic "levelling out" of exchange problems.

"The Foreign Exchange Control Board has felled to control for- eign exchange." he said. "If a similar board or committee in a largo corporation failed in its function as the exchange control board has failed. its members would all be fired."

clared. "This ls complete, final. absolute." 4

Mr. Abbott said that vigorous action was necessary because the gold and U5. dollar reserves had drowed some $760,000,000 from the beginning of the year to mid- November when the import re- strictions and other exchange con- servation moves became effective.

Before the debate stzrtcd, Rev- enue Minlster McCann said that recent “substantial seizures" at border points showed that pre- cautions tskeivto prevent breaches of foreign exchange control regu- lations were justified.

Justice Minister Ilsley said the Government ‘will make known "in due course" its policies on amend- ments io the Criminal Code to curb sex offenders.

Prime Minister MecKenzie King said the Government has given consideration "right along" lo the possibility of increasing pensions and allowances for veterans.

In summing up problems arising out of the" dollar situation. Mr. Abbott made these ointst

i. He indicated t at some ac- tion may be taken lo cut down Canadian consumption in order to make more goods available for export to the United states-

2. He intimated that steps may he taken to direct industry into the manufacture of-goods that can be sold on United States markets.

3. He said lhe restrictions cn the import of goods. other than capital goods. and on pleasure travel were expected in result in a dollar saving of 0340.000- 000 annually.

4. The Government had con- sidered devaluation of the dol- lar but decided that it would not be as effective as the mea- sure now in force.

5. The specie-l excise taxes imposed were aimed hf. curb- ing purchases oi American goods and they would draw off a certain amount of purchas- ing power.

6. Unless funds from‘ lhe Marshall plan were AWN i0!" the purchase of goods in Can- ada the Dominion would have to stop assistance to Britain and Eurcrpc and divert the goods to the United States.

7. lf the Government had not borrowed $300,000,000 from the American import-Omar! bank the restrictive measures would have had to be more severe. Mr. Macdcnnell said he wonder-

ed whether the Government's con- trols were "irrevocable" and whe- ther the country could return to normal practices In a few lTflrll-

The remedies proposed by the Government would be “seriously retarded” unless the country had a "sound currency." The dollar al- ready had dropped two cents on the "free" Ncw York market since Mr. Abbott's announcement of the austerity program in November.

A “move to reality" would be to "go beck to 00 cents."

The Government controls are "complete, final. absolute." said _lVlr. Mecdonnoll, Canada would

continue to have "forms" i free business ._ "lust n they did in Nazi Germany."

But, once started. the rrnlurel would be very hard to control. i-fa believed there was no likelihood of the controls ending in the near future.

The hill was "prlpolierous" and the Progressive Conservatives would vote against. it in the 0cm- Mons and the constituencies. un- iil "sanity" returned and "arbit- ren- measures" war ended.

Warning To Motorists

The icy condition of the roads has made driving very dangerous and drivers of motor vehicles have a. great responsibility.

For the next few weeks traffic will be heavy, and it in imperative that motor vehicles be in good mechanical condition. _

Motorists are warned that they must see that their car is equip- ped with proper headlights, as well as tall-light. This for yourypro- tcction as well as for the protec- tion of other motorists on the highway.

When brakes are applied it re- quires a considerable more dis- tance before vehicle is brought to a stop on icy roads, than it docs on dry roads. Your car may skid on the icc and_ go into the ditch, resulting in damage to your car and possible injury to occupants.

Let us all remember "Safsty First" and “Careful Driving."
