Nationalization Policy Is Facing First Big Test

B)’ JAMES MaCOOK

LONDON, Jen. ﬂ-(OP Cable)- Two old hands at the parliament- lfy game-Emanuel Shlnwell and Anthony Eden-today opened House of Commons debate on the Gnv- ernment bill nationallzlng .he coal industry endprlva member- on both sides of the ouse cheered the salllen for and against the measure. '

The coal bill is looked on as the first big test of the Labor Govern- ment’: nationalization policy, ' Mr. Shlnwell-as Fuel and Pow. sr Minister-depicted the coal in- dustry as neglected and inefficient under private enterprise with the majority of the pits in a condition unworthy of an industrial country. He said the existing situation cen- talned the elements of industrial disaster with soured relations be- tween employers and men and e drift cf workers to other employ- rnent. He went on to say that the risks re ulrezl in rehabilitation and de- Ve Ollment of the mines were greater than private industry could be expected to undertake. A rud- lcal reconstruction of the lndult was needed both from the techn- cal and human sides, Mr. Shinwell said, and this could not be achiev- ed wlthout nationalization. Mr. Eden grinned cheerfully at Mr. Shlnwell as he rose to reply. e opposition has an amendment on the order paper for rejection of the blll on the grounds the‘. it fella to suggest action to halt the decline in coal production, has: no policy for recruitment of workers and affords no protection to the general public as consumers or taxpayers. Mr. Ede recalled the leng- lllndlnz mners’ demand for nat- ionalization, and his awn defeat in a mining constituency years ago. H! sold “mines for miners" had been the cry at that time but he felt that this demand had received no place in the bill. ‘What this bill proposes is to set up a state mono o‘ for pr ductlon coal and ajtls all," the d.

of our lndebte ess to Brlteﬁs, over the twenty-year period between the two wart, Greet Britain purchased about s 3-4 billion dollars of goods from Canada, while de Kaun- chssed less than 8 billion do rs of British goods; thus, the net gain to Canada from trade with Great Britain was approximately 3 8-4 billion dollars. With such e custom- er, surely it is new anlav business- like and sensible for anode to

her trade position.

2. In connection with jobs it ll to be hoped that arrangemen s can be reached whereby management and labour will co-operate in the common cause. Jobs result only from the graduation of goods or |ervlces-t ey cannot be legislated into existence.

Through our modern man pro- duction methods the average citi- zen on this continent now enjoy! material standards of living un- equalled anywhere elee ln the world. gihese methods can function success ully only with the co-op- eration of workers mana ement and investors. Workers eserve fair wages for their labour, men- agement deserves fair remuneration for the direction and lea onslblll- a they assume in a bus ess, in- vertors deserve fair return upon the money they put into the bul- nels. The interests of all three groups (workers, management and investors) are mutual and identi- cal; industrial prosperity can only be achieved through active recog- nition of this fundamental fact.

3. In connection with taxes, our whole tax structure needs to be revised. Neither individuals nor business enterprises will fully utilize the splendid peacetime op-

ortunities in Canada unless the ncentive to ingenuity, savings and risk of capital is economically worthwhile. Double taxation of business profits, for example, de- ters enterprise, discourages capital investment, curbs productive effort and lowers earnings in jobs.

Hard work, thrift, enterprise and investment of savings have built this country. They are the only means whereby we can achieve better living standards and high ,employment for the Canadian peo- iple. Just and reasonable taxation will encourage and strengthen them, whereas conflscntory and discriminatory taxation will dis- courage and weaken them.

Reduced taxation is imperative if Canada ls to attract new settlers and capital from other countries, and ls to retain many of her own ablrst industrial and scientific workers.

Thc- way we handle op ortunl- ties for our future deve nnment depends upon the will and effort of the Canadian people as a whole The tnsks ahead cell for determin- ed era-operation towards the achievement of prosperity ior all sections cf our several communi- ties. They also call for responsi- billiy mil honest effort shared bv every; Canadian. With public con- SClLllISIlQSS of our common prob- lems and intelligent planning to solu- thom, I em confident that we can succeed.
