Suggest: Remedies

Senator Roebuck proposed these remedial measures:

l. Removal of "these unwel- come prohlbitions and limita- tions snd excess impositlons" as soon as possible.

2. Wilthdrawai of the Gov- ernment. f r0 m “competitive business.“

3. AbcQtion of the Foreign Exchange Control Board "forthwith." leaving Canada's foreign exchange “to react to

its normal, natural equilib- rium." "The liberal policy should be

the development of s truly and genuinely free economy, in which we may depend upon the Zenius of our people to maintain oiid rc- store the well-being of the ns- tlon."

Benstor Roebuck said the “major portion" of current difficulties is "of our own m.a.kinE-"

One factor was "an outright 811i» o! $l,000.000.000 to Great Britain and mutual-aid credits which we have extended to tho‘entire ster- ling area. of $3.175-0°°»99°-" H" was not criticizing these gifts and credits but. they were importsntiii the decrease of "the nationalbank account."

Another factor was "Government interference in the marketlnfl 0i wheat, gold and livestock. Csnsd-i h“; 5on1 grain to the United States from i943 to1945 for n. total of $550,000,000. Since 1M5 the wheat business had been o "nat- ional monopoly" whereby wheat was sold to Britain st less than the world market price. 1111s had meant great losses-and Pintans- ibis gains"—but there still was no balancing item "to offset the dif- fsronos between whst. we received and whet we might hove had.”

The shortage of U. S. dollars also was the result of ths prohi- bition on export. d! cattle and beef to that country. Gold. in the past n major factor in maintaining ii favorable trade balance, hnd been nude s Government monopoly. with production declining "serious- ly" because of the narrowing mur- gin between production cost Ihd the price fixed by the Govern- client.

OTTAWA, Dec. l7—-(CP)—Stiii hale and hearty. Prime Minister Mackenzie King today celebrated his 73rd birthday with n custom- ary working day. which lncludess an early start at the office, n cal:- inet meeting and attendance in Parliament

A bouquet 01' roses fr Idbcral party members likely w 1 be on Mr. King's Commons’ desk wiicn the House opens this afternoon - but, aside from that and telegrams from his many friends around the worfi, there will be little to mark the occasion.

At 73, Mr. King is on the thresn . hold of s new Commonwealth i-e- i cord for the prime ministersnip. ~By Aiprll 20 next, he will have equalled the record established by Sir Robert Walpole the British Prime Minister who served from April 3. 172i to Feb. ll. 1742-7.- 620 days or 20 years, l0 months and nine days. .

It is expected that once Mr. King has achieved that record ht‘ will prepare to hand over the Government leadership, possibly selecting s temporary party chief- tsin until s ntional Liberal con- vention chooses n new lender. l-le

enée with the balance-wheel of business and the automatic re- adjustment of the rate of ex- change."
