CANADIAN DEBT lllllAllllN IS zllMill GRAVE

Mr. George C. McDon- ald Refers To Prob- lems Facing Rowel] Commission.

SAINT JOHN, N. B, Dec. "l-_ (CPl-“Credit has been extended to our various governments beyond all the bounds of prudence," George C. McDonald. Montreal, president of the Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce, declared in the main address at tonight's annual general meeting and dinner of the Saint John Board or Trade,

He referred to numerous prob- lems confronting the Royal (mm. mission on Dominion-Provincial relations. The "subsidy difficulty" was one of the principal matters. Underlying them all was the Can- adian debt situation “which Icon- sider extremely grave-to which 1 think ion much attention cannot be given."

Credit to Canadian [ulQfnmQuu “should have been stopped long i180." said Mr. McDonald, "but events kept cropping up which enabled us to keep on borrowing so that we find an increase in the gross funded federal, provincial and municipal debt of over".- 800000000 in the last six years, an average of $300,000,000 a. year m‘ $30 per head of population per antium.

"During the period our govern-

mental revcnues have been 86.199,- 090000 and expenditures l1,0l0,- 000.000. During thesix years our governmental expenditures have Bllefllfled pver 30 per cent of esti- mated national income without taking into account authorization of debt. "The gross funded debt of the three governmental realms is over $B.000.0f)0.000.ot' over $800 per head of population. I believe that over half of that SB,000.000.000 repre- sents accumulated deficits of pre- vloiis years."

problem before the Commission was "to find a way of dealing with the very serious credit situation in four or flvc of our provinces. As a matter of fact. the situation is so serious that the provincial dif- ficulties may well develop into a national problem any day and it is bcttcr to fiice it as such without further drifting."

Mi". lift-Donald referred to in- creasing competition betweengov- criinienial authorities for new soilrces of taxation, resulting in diinllcaiioii and frlplicstion.

On the subject of relations be- tween capital and labor. he said that liiiinr "being iiii essentlalele- xiii-tit iii ‘ histry, should be cori- sidercd n"? as a partner with an ccunl voice in the cnirvprlse than as a cwiuiodity which is bought and sold at a price. The failure to rr-eliwe ihzii fundamental truthhas cost. and i< still costing. capital a pi-ciiv nemiv. and it is also injur- ing thc cause of labor."

Sir Samuel Hoare Re- plies-To Labor At- tacks On Legisla-

tion.

LONDON, Dec. ‘I —(CP)—'I‘he air raids precautions bill today received third reading in the House of Commons without divis- ion and was sent to the House of Innis.

Home Secretary Sir Hoare, defending the bill against Labor attacks, declared the "best defence for Iiondon is a strong and vigorous air force, capable of tying down the enemy's air force b local defence."

Hg announced the Air Raid Pre- cautions Department would be re- organized along service lines.

Staff planning and adminis- trative duties would be separated, he said, with wing-commander E. J. I-lodsoll as chief of the Air Raid Precautions staff and W. G. Eady as Dqiuty Under-Secretary of State.

Commander l-iodsoll, who will have the title of Inspector-Gen- eral, has been in charge of both (unctiona of the department since it earno into existence trwo years ago. Mr. Eady fonnerly was sec- retary of the unemployment as- sistance board.

Sir Samuel said the Government regarded the quentlo of mucu- sting eivilim population: in the event of air attack as "vary ura- out." A new clause had been add- ed to the bill, he said, to permit the government to proceed with plans for transferring populations in emergency, as welil as for the care of refugees.

The defence services generally occupied the house during the day. with Prime Minister Chamberlain meeting a running fire of quest- ions on the aqua of commanding officers.

Mr. Chamberlain dealt wlizli questions b y Lieutenant-O o m- nrander Reginald Fletcher, do

mand would be applied to other services.

When appointments are consid- ered, he replied, the cabinet min- isters concerned will "continue to give full weight. to all relevant considerations, including ag e, health and physical fitness citf the officers concerned."

Pressing the matter. commander Fletcher cited the first sea lord (Admiral Lord Chat-field, S4) I5 being “l2 yours older than the youngest member of the board of admiralty and i4 years older than the average age of the air council."

"Is it not desirable that there should be approximation oi age?" ‘ he asked. Mr. Chamberlain did not

As the next step in his project to raise the efficiency and or- ganization of the Territorial Army

i in that of a front-line force, Lee- lle l-iorc-Belisha, Secretary for War, announced the names of a committee to explore the admin- istrative chaiiges necessary.

Lord Sfriitlicoiiii and Mount Royal, undersecretary for war. will iliead the committee. The other members will be: Viscount Cobhcm. Major-(lcncral Sir Stcuart Hare. Sir Robert Johnson and J. R. Wade.

During debate on the air raids bill, Cn-ptain A. C. Graham, Con- servative, pointed out the danger
