Editorial Notes

Unfortunately he doesn't seem to have Prince Edward Island on his visiting list; but with a Premier so afraid of the very idea of “raiding” — the Dominion treasury——who prefers the easier way of jacking up provincial taxes—is that to be wondered at? It is fortunate the MACMILLAN Government had no inferiority complex or whatever it is that makes their Liberal successors so difiident about pressing our claims. Other- wise, that $150,000 additional subsidy increase and Mr. CA.\lrsELt. would be that much further short of

Let The People Decide

.____.__ Here in brief, from Thursday's Canadian Press dc-patches, is the case for and against the isvroposcd provincial Sales Tax scheme which the enate has turned down:

Senator DAl\'Dl.'l>’.AND, Government leader in the ‘Red Chamber: “Many provinces are in dire straits and none have balanced budgets zmd they need new fields of taxation."

" Senator l\ll_‘ll‘lHE.\',. Conservative leader: DllpliCall0ll of taxes will not increase the rev- enue, but \vill multiply the cost of collection and administrrltion."

This is the practicable objection to the scheme, as proposed by the Kl.\'(; Government. But there are other eqlinlly important objections where, as in this Prmincc, solemn pre-election pledges have been given to balance the budget without any increased taxation. .\lost of {he provincial Liberal Governments now in power achieved victory by just such promises.

Higher criticism, said Rev. Dr. HART- DAVIES. of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Edin- burgh in an address in Verdun Baptist Church, was nothing but “cobwebs spung from the in- sides of beer-drinking German philosophers.” It was easily demolished by the solid bricks of

Playing Safe At Ottawa

“No more raids on the Dominion treasury” was to have been the new Liberal policy, as for- mulated at the Liberal Dominion-Provincial conference at Ottawa last December. Instead, the “raids" were to be carried out on the tax- payers by means of provincial Sales Taxes, Premier CA.\Irl:r.LL being an active party to this iniquitous scheme which would have preci-

the subject. Economies have already been effect- ed, and the governors have come forward most generously with a contribution of $168,000 a year for four years to meet deficits. "It turns out, however," said the Principal, “that it is necessary to go further and consequently we have been working hard in the university in the past few months to see how expenditure could be reduced. The net result is that appropriations for the coming year have been cut by nearly $xoo,ooo.” At a recent meeting, the governors had passed a budget for the coming session which, after making allowances for the gift of the governors, balanced expenditure and in- come.

I am surprised that the daily papers have not had more about the libel action in which Lord Kil- maine was awarded 2.000 pounds against the Morning Post. In a speech in the House of Lords, Lord Kiimaine urged that the Morning Post had abused the freedom of the press in a. headline, “Italy Climbs and suggested a form of censorship. The Morning Post. rctorted with some character- istic sarcasm. The only adequate comment that we have seen on this case appeared in the Economist which discussed the "fantastic al- titude to libel" that. is growing up in our courts. It concluded after mentioning a number of Ncent cases that the law of libel is being developed into a new censorship which “will kill that freedom of discussion which is vital to demo- cracy. The law is intended to pro- toct. men from genuine defamation of character. It. is being used to sheller them from criticism.” It is time for the whole press to get to- gether on this subjcct.—New states- man and Nation, London, Eng.
