Says Canada Must Co Part After Victory

t

QUEBEC. Sept. -— (CP) Finance Minister nsley said today that Canada must be Pmllflfed M" ter victory to do its shore in bringin about an international prosper ty. in developing trade be- tween countries, “possibly even in helping other countries develop themselves to the point where they can trade effectively with us and with others."

Speaking before the 59th an~ nual convention of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canaddlnt the Chateau are pushing with efforts to for such international rictlo .

“What I wish to emphasize to you today, however," Mr. Ilslcy added, "ls . . that we must od- vance with the some vigor and energy gfjer the \var that we are now using in the war itself.

“We must pursue better housing with the same effort and effec- tiveness that we are devoting now to price control. We must con- ceive and carry out social insur- ance with the same boldness and thoroughness with which we have raised the income tax for war purposes. We must have the same courage and faith in financing useful peacetime development as we have had to apply in financ- ing the wur. We must retain ilic confidence that we have gained in the war. and shake of for- ever the frustration which fell upon us in the 1930's."

The Finance Minister made it clear nt. outset of his address that he could not discuss the re ports of the National War Labor Board, saying.

"It ls obvious that the Govern- ment must give ‘the most careful consideration to them before com- ing to a. decision on the import- ant recommendations which I un- derstand they contain."

He spoke after J. L. Cohen of Toronto, Labor representative on the National War Labor Board. hrid urged publication of his own minority report on the Board's inquiry into labor relations and other lnbor matters, as well as the majority report of his two colleagues.

Mr. Cohen told delegates that every moment during which the

government “delayed institution of an effective. a soundumd u Just labor policy is a moment cle- dicafed to the enemy, fl. contribu- tion to defeat."

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1 —- (AP) -Prime Minister Churchill of Britain arrived at the White House lnte today to spend several days with President Roosevelt.

While the British leader and Mr. Roosevelt will continue some utilises of the war talks started at Quebec, White House officials said that the Prime Minister's ar- rivnl here did not represent the laeginning of n story but the con- clusion of one begun in Canada.

Mr. Churchill's visit, officials snld, probably will not be entire- ly of a business nature. since the President hopes to make it partly

social.

Mrs. Churchill accompanied hcr husband to Washington and their daughter. Mary, wns due later to- day from the southern States. where she had been inspecting war facilities. The Prime Min- ister and Mrs. Churchill came hcrc by special train from Quebec- Presldent Roosevelt met them at
