Quebec, Howard Green (POVan- couver South), Luciger Dionne (L- Beatice), G. S. White (PC-Hastings- Pctcrborough). Gladys Strum (CCF-QrfApelle) and Wesley Stuart (ls-Charlotte).

Mr. White and Mr. Dionne both

discussed income taxes. Mr. White urged that. exemptions be increas- cd from S750 to $1.250 for single persons and from $1,560 to $2,500 tor married persons. Mr. Dionne said the eight-per-cent. sales tux should be eliminated and income taxes reduced. -Mr. Irvine criticized tho gov- ernment for failing to curb the operations of monopolies. He said there was no doubt that monop- olies continue to exist and that they fix prices to the disadvant- age of the consumer.

Mr. Gillis called for revision cf the Canada. Shipping Act to pre- vent British or foreign ships from competing with Canadian ships in the Canadian coastal trade_

Mr. White urged that Canada prepare her national defences and said the price of preparedness was not too great to pay to" avert a war.

At the House opening, Mr. Drew unsuccessfully attempted to have the Commons adjourn the Throne Speech debate to discuss a stats- lncnt that war with Rmss-ia. may come witltitr three months.

speaker Gaspard Fauteux said the statement, attributed to Wai- ter Harrls, parliamentary assistant to Prime Minister St_ Laurent, could be discussed during the Throne Speech debate. His ruling lvns upheld by a vote of 133 to 55 ‘-

Later, lvlr. I-fariris read a state- ment in which he said he wished to make it. clear he had not sug- gested that war might come.

“I stressed the fact that the signing of the Atlantic pactwould be the most effective step that Canada could take to protect her- self against sggressors and to in- sure the peace of the world.”

J. Watson MacNaught, parliam- entary assistant to Fisheries Min- ister Mayhew, said the seized United States fishing vessel Araho has been released. The ship was seized off Nova scotla Jan_ 24 for a technical violation of the law

in fishing within the three-mile limit. U

Justice Minister Garson said no action has been taken by his De- partment since he became minis- ter to disallow the 1948 Prince Edward Island Act which outlaw- ed unions having national or in- ternational affiliation.

Milk Safe Only When Pasteurized

“Another National Health, Week- and another opportunity to empha- size the fact that pasteurized milk is the only safe milk," states the Health League of Canada in a special “Health Week" message wri- cernlng dangers in raw milk.

“Since it is known that milk can

carry germs which cause bovine tuberculosis, typhoid and para- typhold fevers, undulant fever.

diphtheria, scarlet fever and septic sore throat, it is ridiculous as well as tragic that only one province in Canada -- Ontario - has enacted a compulsory pasteurization law,“ the Health League states.

“Failure to pasteurlze milk re- sults in disease, and death. Health authorities have known this for many years but still much milk sold for human consumption is not pasteurized. “It is too bad that milk. known as the world's best all-round food, is a perfect culture medium for deadly disease germs, but on the other hand 1t is regrettable that the one means at our disposal for purifying milk - pasteurization -- is not universally used. "Unpasteurized milk is unsafe milk. Disease producing germs in milk have their origin in diseased cows, miikers, milk handlers, and carriers, persons who have recover- ed from an infectious disease but who still can-y the germs in their bodies. It is obvious that milk even if it is apparently handled cleanly. can become contaminated easily. To be absolutely safe, milk must be cleanly handled and then pasteurized." In concluding its message. the Health League emphasizes that medical research authorities agree that pasteurization does no harm tn milk‘s nutritive value. __

Rabbit Plague Worst In Australia's History

SYDNEY, Australia, Feb. 1 —— (Reuters) — Australia is suffer- ing from what is regarded here as the worst rabbit plague in her history, although record numbers of rabbits are bein-g killed.

Year; ago Australia. imported the rabbit. But despite the con- tribution he makes to the dollar funds of the sterling area, it would pay Australia to exterminate him, because his bill for room and board is much greater than the money he brings in.
