Replying to Mr. Hanson's com- ment on taxation of business. Mr. Ilsley said that last. spring the Con- servative House leader had argued for a 100 per cent excess profits tax, instead of the ‘l5 per cent tax which was imposed.

"People in this House cannot take two stands." he said. "I am not talking about the Honorable gent- leman particularly." he added. “The feeling last yea: was that business interests were not to- be allowed to use the war or war per- iod as a. means of making profits ixi excess of normal. . “Now a new doctrine has arisen. I om not prepared to condemn it now but it is certainly contrary to that (former) doctrine. We find it in the financial press. Today one hears it from the lips of the op- position leader. The cntlments he now expresses are very different from his stand last spring when hie was in favor of taking from these companies all the excess profits they earned during the war." "There may be a middle ground" the Minlsm continued. "I plead- ed for moderation last spring in this House. I said that in view of the fact that a great deal of our capl- tal in this country had come from the outside and the fact. that a great many of our people would 1110f ‘better if the profit incentive were e . "I pleaded for moderation but our CCF friends said ‘No, take it a- way from them’ and my Honorable friend lMr. Hanson) and many of the members .of his party Joined with them.

"1 knew that at every session we would have more and more mem- bers who would rise in their places and Say ‘be a little easier on those companies.’

"I am prepared to listen to all requests but I am not prepare’! to abandon the principle we laid down M. the beginning —namely that companies during this war period shall not be allowed to strengthen onbuttress their positions or to build up reserves and make them- selves prosperous thinking that lat- t11ere may be a loss of prosper-

"A bad announcer can jeopardize a good program." he wrote.

He also said he had intimated. verbally. action which should be taken "because of the plastics: - closed at Vancouver."

While he agreed that Gladstone

needed a wide measure of discretion in employing staff. he thought there should be more system of selection established. and that periodic aur- vevs of the staff should be made.

Serious Charla

"The result (of not: making such survevs) is that the majority of the staff which consists of conscien- tious. capable and ha wrorkinn 71001118. cannot help but feel discour- aued to find demonstrably" in Detent persons retained." he said.

Mr. Thompson's recommendations. summarized. were :-

1. That all administrative and exemitlve departments be centraliz- ed in Montreal o!" Toronto.

2. That the head office at Otta- wa be confined to the general man- ager. assistant general manager and a liaison officer, ,

. ’I'i"iat the duties of the assist- ant general manager be enlarged: ail department heads to report to the general manner: the treasurer to be designated financial contrai- ler with enlarged duties and i-e- spﬂnsibllities.

4. That a special survey of re- quirements of the program depart- ment be made. and plans formed for fretting more revenue.

5. That there should be clear de- finition of duties and responsibili- ties of the staff: a review of basis of remuneration of the staff; aboli- tion of the secretarys’ department. and placing of its duties under an executuve secretary and the finan- cial controller.

Mi". Plaunt’: letter to Mr. Morin said the investigation bv himself and Mi’. Thompson indicated di- rectly and bv implication "serious deficiencies in the executive direc- lon of the corporation." but added hat this observation was not in- tended to apply to the assistant general manager. Augustin Frlgon.

Private Stations

Mr. Plaunt criticimd the Board's actions in connection with political Duty broadcasting during and be-

tween elections.

The Board] h permitted certain private eta one remain on its ne work when they competed with its own stations. thus neglecting an opportunitv to build up audiences foi- its stations. The net result was to maintain Dlbfita of private sta- tions at the expense of the develop- ment of the 0.3.0.

At a meeting of the Board on June 1. and another on June 27. of this year. the question of news was considered and it was decided the CBC. should establish and make available to stations a. comprehen- sive news service.

news committee then held meetings with private broadcasters

"What I regret," he wrote. "is that the new: committee and the rd at. its recent meeting well- nigh lost sight of the original pur- pose in its desire to meet the self- ish views of private stations.

"I believe that the arrangement finally arrived at is better than no- inR. What I do feel very strong- lv. however. is that the Board should take a much firmer attitude in defining the public interest in a matter ouch as this."

Voclferoiu Private Interests

"I do not mean that all sides should not be heard or that arbitr- ary decisions should be taken. I do mean that the Board should refuse to allow the public interest to be compromised because of the de- mands. however vociferous. of pri- vate interests.

"The fact is. much as I regret having to sav it. that because of its vacillatiniz attitude it nlreadv lost; good deal of prestige. The attiturFe

All Possible Service

Mr. McPhail said there were good reasons whv the Y.M.O.A. should render all possible service to the trotms. First. because they are Canadian youth; secondly. the RW- ernment of Canada. was counting on the help of the Y with all its ex- perience in work with boys and men: again. parents by the thou- sands have expressed their harmi- ness that the inﬂuence of the Yia in go with their boys. and flnallv. because the Y has nearlv 100 years’ experience in this work. has hundreds of ristlan men who have trained and are izlvinif their lives to this work as a profession: it has ‘I5 Buildings across Canada in addition to the ones it has built for war workz‘ and overseas it has in addition to the 20 Canadian secre- taries sent over. all the resource in buﬂdings and eauloment an leadership of the British YMCA.
