value, leaving the difference be-
tween the total value and the $30,000 exemption liable to duty. There would be exceptions for widows, dependent husbands and dependent children.
A limit" also is placed on the amount of duty that may be col- lected from estates of more than $50,000. Thesmaxim-um duty must not exceed half the difference be- tween the total value of the estate and $50,000.
The council also expressed dis- appointment that the proposed bill does not acknowledge wives as marriage partners. The coun- cil urges that one-half of a de- c-eased hu=sband’s estate be con- ceded — for tax purposes —- as earned by his widow and as such would not be subject to succession duty when it passes to her on his death.

BY JOHN LEBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) —— Unemploy- ment is a key issue in the federal general election campaign.
The number of Canadian job- less is the highest since the late depression year of 1939. Political Parties blame one another in var- ious ways.
The Progressive Conservatives say the Liberals did nothing to stem an evident trend toward higher unemployment while they were in office up to last June 10. The Liberals say the Conserva- tives acted _too slowly last fall as unemployment climbed.’ OTHER VIEWS
The CICF says both old parties are wedded to an unplanned economy which periodic large- scale unemployment is part. Social Credit contends the Con- servatives aibandoned parliamen- tary efforts to solve the problem when they could not find the an- swer, but says the situation is not of the new government’s making.
Part of the unemployment is attributable to Canada's custom- ary cold - weather shrinkage in
this year the shrinkage has in- creased above normal.
The I a t e s t government esti- mate of persons Without jobs and seeking work is 520,000, at mid- January. Another 50,000 had jobs then but had been on temporary layoff for a full week.
The 520,000 estimate was made oy the bureau of statistics on the basis of its monthly sample sur- An- other set of government figures
- shows that at mid-January 816,-
982 persons were registered for work at the labor deIpartment’s national employment service of- fices.
MAY DROP IN MARCH
If the pattern of previous yea-rs holds, these figures may be ex- pected to go up until about mid- March and then start dropping. The 520,000 figure compares with a post-war high of 401,000 in March, 1955; with 523,000 in 1939; and with a depression peak total of 817,000 in 1933, all estimated by" the bureau of statistics.
The January figure means that 8.8 per cent of Canada’s labor force was out of work. For the previous post-war high in 1955, the percentage was 7.6. It was 11 per cent in 1939 and 19 per cent in the deep depression of

1933.
Heavy population growth since the war has affected the percent- age of the jobless. During the depression years, the population was between 10,000,000 and 11,- 000,000. It now is about 16,500,000.
The mid-January figure of 520,-
unemployed compares with that represented 5.5 per cent of 303,000 in January, 1957, a figure the labor force.
The labor force for January this year was 5,891,000, compared with 5,696,000 a year earlier. DUE BEFORE ELECTION
The next unemployment report figures for mid-February is due between March 17 and 19, about a fortnight before the March 31 election. ‘
The January figure of 816,982 registered at the employment service for jobs compares with 526,058 a year earlier and 570,674 last December. It is the highest since the employment service was set up in 1940.
These NES statistics do not reflect] absolute unemploy- ment. They represent a count of applications on hand at employ- ment service offices on a given day. The government says the count excludes persons known to have one job and to be looking for another, and that measures are. also taken to exclude as far as possible persons who have ob- tained work on their own after registering. 5
But the figures do include some who have found work. who want -to change employment or who have left the labor force.
On the other hand, not all per- sons looking for work register with the labor department agency. . ESTIMATING DIFFICULT
The statistics bureau says its estim-arte of actual jobless is sub- ject to sampling error and also to difficulties in classifying such individuals as elderly people, married women and those with physical hand-icaIps.
The jobless estimate includes people who would have been looking forwork if they had not been ill, and those on prolonged or indefinite layoffs. It does‘ not include those liad off with in- structions to return to work with- in 30 days and this group makes up the 50,000 listed by the bureau as on layoff, outside the 520,000 jobless. ‘

The 5,371,000 is subdivided into 4,626,000, or 78.5 per cent of the labor force, who worked 35 hours or more during the survey week; 552,000 or 9.4 per cent who worked less than 35 hours, and 193,000 or 3.3 per cent who had jobs bu-t did -not work during the week for reasons such as illness, vacations and temporary layoff. REMEDIAL MEASURES
Each of the four chief pol-itical parties offers measures to com- bat unemployment.
The Progressive Conservatives under Prime Minister Diefen- baker say they are acting in this direction by cutting taxes, reduc- ing loan interest rates, releasing $300,000,000 in housing loan funds, raising old age pensions, extend- ing seasonal unemployment bene- fits by two months and stepping up public works programs. They say 250,000 jobs will be made available through public works and easier home-building money. The Liberals. whose leader, L. B. Pearson, declares unemploy- ment is the basic election issue‘, say the w.ay to reduce it is by heavy tax cuts to increase con- sumer spending. They promise $400,000,000 more in tax reduc- tions. This is on the theory of deficit budgeting during a reces- sion to pep up the economy. Mr. Pearson says public works are worth-while but would not create jobs fast enough. I The Liberal leader says the Conservatives cannot be blamed for all the unemployment but were complacent last fall when they should have launched a bold attack. Replying to that, Labor Minister Starr says unemploy- ment would be at least double what it is had not the Conserva- tives put the brakes on the Lib-
Iu.isiTn'roN c.w.i.
Th monthly meeting of the Al- berton Sub-division of the C.W.L. was held on M.arch 3rd at the home of Mrs. Everett Shea. The meeting opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. Joseph Calla- ghan. Due to storm and bad roads no meeting was held in Febru- ary.
In the absence of the Secretary Mrs. Gerald Rooney read the min- utes of previous meeting which were adopted as read. The treas- urer, Mrs. Everett Shea, read the financial statement which showed a considerable bank balance. All outstanding bills_were voted to be paid.

Canada last year admitted 232,- 164 immigrants, highest since 400,000 entered in 1913.
The OCF party says both Pro- gressive Conservatives and Lib- erals are lg n o r i n g economic facts.
“Nothing les 5 than a funda- mental reorganization of the economy,‘ nothing less than a program of social and economic planning through public agencies, democratically control- led through Parliament, will suf- fice to deal with the situation,” Leader M. J. Ooldwell has stated.
The Social Credit party favors both public works and reduced taxes, but also has brought for- ward again its policy of social dividends from the treasury as a stimulus to the economy.
It suggests immediate bonus or dividend payments to old age pensioners, needy families and the blind as a means of making available more spending power to stimulate business quickly.
