General Crera r's Visit

General Crerzir, who will be cordially wel- comed by our citizens this evening, is the first Canadian to gain the rank of full General while still on active service, a distinction which he richly earned. \\"hile a LieuL-General, he succeeded Maior-General A. G. L. McNaugh- ton as Commander of the Canadian Army on March 2o, i944, less than liree months be- fore he sctit his Third Diviﬁioill Onto the b¢ﬂ¢l1¢5 of Normandy. After the fall of Cacti, Gen- eral Crerar personally took command of his form in the fieldand led the drive oii Falaise. There he (lirccterl one of the givatest battles of the war when he threw his formations in to take Falaise and close the Trun gap, sealing the fate of the German 7th Army. On Febru- ary 8 of this year, General Crerar was entrust- ed by Field blzirslial Montgomery with a large portion of the British 2nd Army to lead his forces against the northern flank of the Sieg- fried Line, and subsequently proceeded to win the great battles of the Reichswald and Hoch- ivald, setting the stage for the great Anglo- Anierican drive into the Ruhr and the plains of Northern Germany.

The 57-year-old General, recently honored bv the King with the Order of the Companions of Honor for his military service to the Em- pire, is quiet and unassuming and was a prime favorite with the troops under his com- mand. ,,

Island soldiers who served under General Crerar will welcome their Commander who was with them in the most stirring and dramatic days of the closing stages of the war. He comes to Charlottetown and Sunimerside to greet and talk with his troops for the last time. It is his special desire that as rrrany as can pos- sibly come shall attend the reception at Gov- ernment lIouse on Tuesday afternoon.

The Ottawa Conference

It is expected‘ that when the Dominion- Proviiicial Conference steering committee meets iit Ottawa this wock, there will be ready the most complete and authoritative report on the national income of Canada that has ever been prepared. -Tliis in itself is regarded as an im- portaiit step toward better understanding and knowledge of the basic elements of Dominion- Provincial relations.

llowevcr, the going may not be smooth. As noted previously in these columns, the Mari- tiiiies are concerned iii re-establishing the Sirois Commission recommendation of fiscal need as I. basis of Dominion-Provincial financial rela- tions, whereas the main provision in the Fed- eral offer at the opening of the conference in August was a straight $12 peg capita subsidy to all the provinces.

Many provinces are thought to look with concern and suspicion on a tax plan which though nominally to last for only three years may prove, lll fact, to be irrevocable, if once put into effect. It is possible, according to the Iiiiiaiirial Post, that there may be “some consid- arable agrccniciit 0n the virtue of seeking and exploring an arrangement which will be less in- iurioiis t0 provincial ‘sovereignty’. That is, as- tuiiiuig the wealthy provinces can produce a plan ivhich ensures ‘protection’ in good times and bad to the so-called ‘liave-iiotsﬂ”

There has been much loose talk about pro- viiicial "s0vereignty” being involved in the Dominion tax proposals. The fact is that the Federal Government possesses complete power ovcr all fﬁfllli of direct and indirect taxes, ex- cept the taxation of Crown property of the Provinces, Tilt! broader needs of post-ivar fiscal oiilicv and the narrower technical problems of rcveiiiie zidiiiiiiistratioii lllﬂltﬁ it necessary for the Dominion to take over the assessment and collection of all corporate and personal in- roiiie taxes. That should iiot worry us in the least. lf it is found that too much discretion is vested in the Finance Minister at Ottawa, the matter cziii PZlf-llV he rciiicdicd by establishment of a iiatioiial board of tax appeals. .

Iii an informative pamphlet "The Domin- ion Provincial Conference: Same Basic Isnuf’, by Maxwell Cohen, K.C., of Winnipeg, issued by the Ryersoii Press before the opening of the Conference, the important point in issue is thus summed up: _

“Constitutional and technical considera- tions apart, the underlying premise of the Con- ference is the reality of a federation composed of widely dispersed regions and a divided cul- ture all accentuated by a disequilibrium in the comparative financial resources position of the various members of the Union. Thus the real- ity to be faced is that Ontario and British Col- umbia arc rich. orcomparativelyrich, and prosperous communities while the Maritimes, Saskatchewan and Manitoba often have lived so close to the margin of their receipts and ex- penditures as to limit severely the variety and extent of the services their people are able to get from local government. It will be for the conference to ‘bring home again to all the great fact that Ontario is rich and powerful because Olllaflb is part of a greater commun- ltvivhich utilized hei- skills, accepted her well

‘firotectcd pﬂtdoctioii, and provided outlets for

her financial finvestment and corporate energies. - 11m, i‘ while British Columbia may believe ‘ . ' ve unbq itself. in "stake in federation i ml ‘hunt it it whim to re-

" " " 'W€llfl'l. . . Nor ' and the niany

corporate enterprises of all Canada centred in head offices on St. Iames Street, reckon with- out the Prairie and Maritime channels, indeed the channels from all the provinces that feed Quebec's net and taxable earnings. That is the ‘price’ to be paid for a working federalism, a federalism in which all members have a chance to attain a generally similar living standard, and that price the Conference must again re-estab- lish clearly for all to see and understand."

AT IT AGAIN

Slr,-—It. seems that national states about once ln twenty, years-or at least at. the end of every great war experience a great resurgence of national spirit, Their sovereign status must be proclaimed again and again.

For Canada Great Wor No. 1 gave us the Statute of Westminster. and a persistent demand for a no. tlonal flag to flttlngly express our growth ln the galaxy of nations. We got the statute but, We did not get the fliag. The Statute of West- minster added not any cublts to our stature, however, us it. merely gave documentary recognition to national and lntematlonal pro- cedure that, had already become well-established, It dld, however, give one country, Ireland, the op- portunity she h-id been waiting for for a century or more, namely to enjoy the benefits of British Com. monwealth relations without as- suming any or many of the respon-

bllltles.

And so we are to have a nut.- fonal flag, The Union Jack ls no longer acceptable. Never, perhaps, ln humiari history were so many problems pressing for solution and yet, day after day, in our legisla- lve halls men seriously consider the size and shape and the content. of a flag that, will adequately ex. ress our national significance. ow many maple leaves, how many Canadian Beavers, how many flours- de-lls can be worked into the de- sign without making 1t top-heavy, and would a Union Jack 1n one corner or the other make any difference? The time wasted over‘ this comparatively unimportant matter would make little differ. enm if that were the end of it. But ft ls only the beginning. No sooner does Canada get her distinc- tive national emblem than every Province of which the Domtnlon Ls composed wlll want. a flag of its! own. Any day now we may learn that Prince Edward Island ta tn have a.

ance of time in which to dispose of the pressing questions to be presented, including the Fed- eral project for a. national compulsory health insurance scheme and the financial proposals of Finance Minister Ilsley. i i l I
