No Truth In Allegation Re Sales Tax On School Text Books

111i-

A glaring misstatement of Liberal candidates on many platforms throughout the Province with respect to an alleged increase in price of school textbooks due to the federal sales tax is exposed in a telegram from Hon. E. B. Ryckman, Minister of National Revenue, to Dr. W. J. P. MacMlllan, Charlottetown.

Dr. MacMlllan wired Mr. Ryckman as to the truth of the Liberal allegation and received positive assurance

that the sale tax under the Bennett Government does not apply to school books.
