3. lle cannot match economic resources being hurled against him by Great Britain and the United States.

4. American interest is such that iic will not be allowed to "consolidate his ill-gotten gains."

No boomtime Prosperity for Wartime Canada

Finance Minister Ii- sley Refuses T0 Re- move Building Materials Tax.

OTTAWA, June 2 —(CP)—-Boom- time comforts and prosperity are not to be encouraged in wartime,

Finance Minister Ilsley told the House of Commons today in re- ectlng a barrage of suggestions

ior removal or modiileaflon of the application of the eight per cent sales tax on building materials. After a sharp protest against this tax from several opposition mem- bers and a brief renewal of opposi- tion to the new federal gasoline tax

of three cents a gallon insofar as .

it applies to fuel uscd by farmers and fshermen in their power ma- diliiery, the House approved all sections of the bill amending the special war revenue act in com- mittee of the whole.

The protest against placing the sales tax on building materials which have been exempt from it since i938 was based on what mem- bers considered would bc its effect in dscouraging the building of low- cost houses to meet a housing shortage.

“I really feel that 3i permit this exemption to continue would do more harm than good at a time like this," said Mr. Ilsley. "The ob-

is not primarily the improvement of lite condirons of the people. "There should be no want. ‘rhere should be no unemployment, But there should be none of that com-
