wennnsnxv. MAY Those Milk Subsidies

Attt-r June 1 consumers will have to ﬂu! rwu ccuts uiore than at prcsettt for their nulk and, after Sepieutlivt‘ 30. “fllﬁll _all_l”'°‘l“°“'= subsidies cud, they are certzunlf l" l“ “llolhcli tat-ice rise.

Agttutlly it is costing that utuch uoiv but the exrcss l: paid by the Uoverttttlettt 1n the form of a direct subsidy to consumers and an mdirfct sttlt-idy to the farmer who produces the lltt-se sultsidies zimount to between three and a half and four cunts a (lllilrb 1'3 l5 m‘: direct consumeixs" subsidy of tw0 CEHlS WhlCh comes off lttnc I. lt was mistaken policy front the first, says the Ol/arra Journal, not to have M,“ ¢<,,,,,,,nt-,»_<, gttvgtre of these payments, not ‘to tnztke it clc-ar to cunsutttcrs that they‘ were getting cheap milk because the Government Wéﬁ paying a big share of the cost.

Anybody who expects either the farmers

or thedistribtttors to absorb any of the tn- crease should examine the facts. Partners have been clamoring for better prices, and the 1'6‘:- ent cut from the Winter subsidy rate of 55 cents a hundred pounds (which is now restored till September 3o) caused a wave of protest and angry tneetiugs and. in some instances, threats of a milk strike. Costs to farmcrs have gone up in recent tnouths, labor in particular, and the Government's own survey shows that milk dis- tributors have been working on a very close margin. - .\ftcr September 30 subsidies of all kinds on fluid milk cease and the whole matter of price is thrown back on the provillCial COIIIFQl boards. It is urtthintkable that farmers will ac- Qept 55 cents a hundred less for \\’inter milk than for their Summer production, and it is practically certain provincial boards will have" to authorize a further price increase to con- lumers.

The Governm-cttt has been paying out about $34,000,000 a year in consumer! subsidies, and almost as‘ much in the form of subsidies to farmers sending milk to the fluid itiarlcct. It was expected that some time or another the Federal treasury would have to get from under. Yet Russia

n . First. what Is the Income Tu Payers’ Association? It Ls com- posed simply of ﬁve lawyers from hurl-peg and one ‘lawyer from 'I‘omnt.o. They made themselves directors. They never had the pN- tense of a rue “ . This was brought up In sworn teutfmony before the McDougaH

on an the Taxation of Oct-operatives‘ L ,'I‘bls asoclutlmt elemoured for a oval sslon to Investigate OO-OPQTBUVOS; the Dominion Gov- ernment aoceded to their demand and, appointed an outstanding eocnmffsslon headed bv Judge Mn- Dougall. 11:1: commission, at great expmae b0 the nation. held hear- ings from Vancouver b0 Halifax. They travelled 1n England and the United Stat-es. Thety secured t moot expert oplxtlon and brought down a report embodying their mature, considered judg- ments on the matter. Now the Income Tax Payers’ Assocfatlonls not. content to rest on the reconf- mendatlon of this commiuton but. I: endeavurtng to mold public oplnlon by extravagant high- n-ressuxe claims.

What dlld this commission re- commend? They recommended sfmmly that cat-operatives be treat- ed like any other business. This is the recommendation: “Tlhat the Income W-ar Tax Act. and the Ex- cess Proﬁts Tax be tunended to provide for the taxation of co- operative usoclatlorts and organ- lmtlons on the salute basis as oth- er persons fn accordance with the recommendations which follow." (Page 44.) This ls by no means particularly favorable to oo-oper- atlves. Other types of business have the same nrfvlleee as co- operatives, of paying back their eumtngs their customers No farmer In Prince Edwtard Island would object to the implement companies paying back their pro- ﬁts to the purchaser of farm ma- uhlnery, especially after the recent Increase tn prices. All business- men would have this privilege If the xteoonmtendatfons of the com- mission were lnvnlmnented.

Let us discuss brieﬂy the argu- mtenl-s of Professor J. L. McDou- uall of Queen’: University. 'I‘hese arguments as used by the Lnoome Tax Payers’ Association have been taken front their context. When Professor McDougall appeared be- fore the Royal Commission he stated-and this is In the record- ed testimony-that hbs ﬁgures were only a very rough guess. He gave this ﬁgure only when pressed to do so by the commission.

However, the ﬁgure Itself ls not the signiﬁcant point. He lumped together a n r of different iroups. Crown Companies, Provin- (‘.151 and Municipal Comtmnle-mand Ola-operatives. Would the people of Summerafde be any better off If their electric company were tax- ed? This would simply mean higher electricity rates In Sum- mersfde and vlclnlty, or less rev- enue to the town. Any rellef from Income t-ax In this ease would be eaten up by higher taxes 1n an- other direction. Or l~f the gov- ernment. vendor were taxed. would the relied from fmome tax com- pensate for the Increased prices of liquor? The savings which would be effected by the taxation of Drown and Municipal Companies would have little or no effect 1n lightening the tax burden of the natlonx

Now about eo-operaIIves-Co- operatives pay all taxes. properly. school, municipal, excise, tariffs and so forth. Thev ﬁle all regular tax returns and reports to the In- come Tax Department.

There are different kinds of co- operatives. In rproducer oo-op- eralfve, such as a Fishermen’: Un- fon or a Creamery. all savings of- fecled are taxable and the produc- er must my this tax as an Indi- vidual. If a ﬁshermen’: Union

1n by eﬂiclent production secures a

higher return for Its embers. these members must. pay heir In- come tax on the amount they re- ceive. Surely there Is no Injus- tice In such a case. A: for Con- sumer (Jo-operatives. such as stor- es, thqv are exempt from income tax only by comtplytn with ce-r- tain veny rigid con Mons. For example. one co-operatfve In Prince Edward Island has incurred an tn- come tax ltabflfty of over $8.000 tn the course of the past four yearn. nder the present law. co- operatives are exempt only II they do lea: than sixteen and two- thlrd: per cent of their business with non-menubers. Moreover. they must. pay a tax on all sums not rebabed back to the members. Responsible co-onentlyes follow the prlticlnle of charging current prices. This has a stabilizing ef- fect on all business, and avoids ruinous competition which would be- humful to private trade. If the amount: which are rte-bated buck to mesnber: should be sub- ject to tax, co-operltlves would simply charge lower pnlce: and Milena ao-called proﬁts would van-

At the outset. The Cnblnet. Min- isters and the Viceroy declare: "We have done our utmost to assist the two~mal11 political parties to reach agreement upon the Sunda- mental Issue of the unlty or AM:- ion of India. After prolonged dls- cussion: In New Delhi, we succeed- ed In bringing Congress and the Musllm League together In the Conference at. Slmla. There was u full exchange of views and both partle: were prepared to make considerable coneeaslop: In order to try to reach a settlement. but It ultimately proved lmposslble to close the remainder of the gap be- tween the parties and so no agre- ment could be concluded. Stnce no agreement ha: been reached. we feel It I: our duty to put: larynx! what we consider are the best at- rangements possible to ensure the speedy setting up of a new con- stltutlon. This state ent ls made with the full approve '0! His Maj- esty's Government In the United Kingdom."

“We accordingly decided that immediate all ngements should be made whereby the Indians may decide the future_constltutlon of India and an fnterlm Governmcctt may be set up at. once to carry on the administration of British India untfl such time as a new constitut- Ion can be brought Into being. We endeavoured to be just to the smaller as well as the larger sect- Ion of the people and to recom- mend a solution whlch wlll lead t: fl practicable way of governlnn the India of the future and wlll given sound basis for defence and a good opportunity for progress In the social, polltlcal and economic fleld”

The statement deal: at length with the Musllm League claim for a separate, fully Independent sov- ereign state of Pakistan. While the evidence submitted to the Cabinet Mlsslon showed an almost u": '02":- al deslre, the Musllm League ex- ceFted, for the unlty of IndlaJhc Mssion and the Viceroy gave n close an impartial examination to the ‘Muslim case. They reached the conclusion that Pakistan not only would not solve the commun- al problem, but would be Im- practtcable on administrative. economlc. mllltury and geographi- cal grounds. _ But. this declslon dld not bllnd the mission and the Viceroy ."to Muslim npprehenslun: that their culture and political and social life mlght become submerg- ed in a purely unitary Indla. In which the Hindus with their great- ly superior numbers must be u dominating element." Indeed the mlulo-n and the Viceroy were con- vinced that "if there l: to be In- fernal peace In India, It: must be secured by measures which 'ﬂ"1 as- sure to the Muslims control In all matters vital to thelr culture. rs- ligton. eccnomlc or other inter- es s."

The solution recommended by the Misslon and the Vlceroy pro- vlcles fc-r a constltutlon on the following basis. Firstly. there should be a union of Indla em- bracing both British India and the Indlan States, which should deal wlth foreign affalrs. defame and communications, with powers to raise finance: therefore. Secondly, the Unlon should have an Execut- lve and Leglsluture composed of representatives of British India- and the Indian BtateS. Any untest- Ion ralslng a major communal l:- sue In the Legislature should re- quire for its decision a majority of the representatives, present and voting. 0f each of the two major communllles, as well u: a mnjorlfy of all members present and voting. In other words. London comment- ator: point out. no blll Involving a major Muslim Issue could be car- rled out without the approval of the Muslim majorlt . and yfce versa in case of Hln u issues. This I: an Important provision to allay In particular Muslim fears of Hin- du domlnatlon. Thlrdly, all lub- ject: other than Union wlll retain all their subjects and wer: other than those ceded to he Umlon. Ftfthly, the provinces should be free to form groups with Execut- lve and Legislatures.
