- Judging from the statements » of m, Opposition leader, Mr. w. M. Ina, at the Liberal conventions, the chi” argument..a_gai_ns\ the Mac- Millan Government is one of alleg- ed extravagance. Mr. Lea says the Province “is in a dangerous finan- cial position due to the squandeYiHB and bungling of the Governmen ” m4 he promises, i: elected to power, t0 "balance the budget."

What, precisely, does this state- ment mean? In the skeleton 918i" form which‘ he enunciated at the Lentenbanq ‘ in "‘ ‘ “‘ on April 5, Mr. Lea. promised "a balanced budget on ordinary ac- count." This simply means a. re- gain: to the Lea-McIntyre policy of plum; such ‘iiure items as

only trouble with that if we~ go on‘ exporting it elsewhere. howare we to know that after it gets elsewhere it won't ulti- mainly get to Germany?

Wmcoulzint _know. Supposing, for exampld-that Norway and Sweden said they wanted so many tons of qliitel from; us, how could we feel sure that after the nickel got w Norway and Sweden the Norweg- ians and Swedes wouldn't turn around and re-export a. lot of it to the Germans? -We couldn't stop them. Couldn't have a lot of inspec- tors running all over Europe seeing lo" it that the nations to whom we aoldinickel kept it.» s. matter of fact, moat of the nickel that hos been going to Germany hasn't been fling directly. It is re-exportod.

It is said we shouldn't export any nickel intended for armaments. Bow coilld‘ we do it "Nickel enters into the manufacture of innumer- "able articles. ‘Therefore, if a country demanded from ul scores of tons of nickel, saying they were for ordin- ary, needs, and we sold on that basis. how would we know that this nickel wouldn't ultimately get in to armaments. Because it is a simple matter to take the scrap in- to which nickel is introduced and to mfllne it and reintroduce it into armaments. It has been done a thousand times. -

Consequently, when people talk about ear-marking nickel exports for peaceful purposes, they are not thinking the matter through.

Nor are they thinking the thing through when they say that if we controlled nickel exports during the war, we should be,able to con- firol them in peace. We were able to ccntiol exports in war-though, as most of us remember, it wasn't doncwithout dimculty—for a defin- ite reason. ‘Phat raasozrwas that the Allies took practical! all of the nickel We had to offer, and that whatever, quantity of it reached

many bythe blockade.

Actually. “there ta but one way by which we could stop Canadian nickel reaching Germany. It would be by prohibiting its export alto- gether. -

Could we do that? W! could. But we could do it only at the expense of "ruining an industry that is among our greatest.- -

And there is something else. We musn‘t cherish the notion. as _so many seem to cherish it. that we fi-the only country producing nic- kel, that, consequently, we can do as we please about it. In New Cal- edonia. France still produces a great deal ‘of nickel. There are known ni"kel deposits in Russia. And there is nickel in other countriu. Therefore, any action ws might take to stop or control nickel exports might very well have the aole result of turning‘ the business over to other countries. Getting nowhere about stopping armaments, we might stop e. very fine industry.

In any event. this nichel quea-

tion istnot one about which we can afford to think or talk loosely. and it certainly isn't one about. which‘ we ought. ‘to act hastily.‘
