Make charge Against Ii a di 0 Commission

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) OTTAWA, May 5—Fallurc to live up to an agreement entered into in August 1034 was charged against the Canadian Radio Com- mission today by the Montreal Musicians Federation in a brief prescntcd by S. B. Dunloll. head of the Montreal local, to the House of Commons radio committee.

It was charged the Commission, during the general strike of musi- cians in 1034. agreed to accept the Federation scale of wages and working conditions. as a result of which the strike was called off. The Commission, Mr. Dunlop said, had carried out its undertaking with respect to employing union musi- cians but in Montreal had failed to live up to the pay schedules agreed upon and had in other ways dis- crimlnnicd against the union which has 600 members in Montreal.

W. M. Murdock of Toronto. EP- pearing for the Canadian Federa- tion of Musicians, affiliated with the American Federation of Musi- cians, said the only point in Can- ada where there had been com- plaints of discrimination by the Commission against union musi- cians was in Montreal, lmsewhere in Canada. so far as he knew. the Commission was living up to the agreement.

Conservative

Party Leader

Denounces imposition 0 Eight Per Cent Sales Tax

(Continued from Page 1) disaster for the implement industry of Canada and that means the jobs of 18,030 men are threatened to- day_..

A general attack on the capital- ist system was launched by J. S. Woodsworth, leader of the G. C. F. group. He warned the finance minister it was futile to expect Canada or any other country to emerge from the depression until a co-operative or Socialist state was created.

Mr. Bennett protested against the disastrous results which he be- lieved would follow the budget proposal to permit free importa- tion of $100 worth of goods byi Oanadiutis spending 48 hours in‘ foreign countries. It practically turned Canada into a free-trade area and it would be possible for scores of millions of dollars worth of goods to be imported free.

As a man who travelled some- times. he would welcome the change and he had no doubt it would be extremely popular "but this coun- i try must learn there are many things we would like to do which we should not do."

Charges Discrimination

The government discriminated against Alberta in turning down its application for a loan after its loan-council scheme was rejected, Mr. Zienrictt declared. It was un- fair to submit one scheme to all p1‘0i'lliC-f-5 and tiicii. when it was= rejccttzi by Alberta, leading to a1 bond dclauii, modify its terms. E

On the general topic of con- version, the Conszrvative leader: gave his opinion a general scheme, L involving the Dominion, Provinces,j anti municipalities and railways. would be iinpossible until there were real sigiis of l'ECO\'(3l')', ,

Turning to tn1'ii'l reductions, lie‘ asked if it was fair to reduce dut- ll ics on farm impienients from 12' 1-2 per cent to 7 1-2 when a par- lianicntary comniittw was formed to study the whole industry and before maiiufacturcrs had the op- portunity to present their argu- ments. Reductions on gasoline and f1liLOl1iDbll(.‘.S resulted from tar- iff bozird hearing; but “\vhy should the agricultural implement indus- try be siitgled out for treatment of that kind.” In his judgment 7 1-2 per cent protection was too low.

Countervaihng duties, introduced in the budget on eggs. potatoes and cut flowers indicated “the cowardice of an administration which is afraid to raise a duty." The United States Congress \v;s not interested in tariffs tbs SCS- sion and the President haci no power to reduce them.

He congratulated Finance Min- istcr Dunning on the presentation of his budget and its form.

In 1930 Mr. Dunning was un- able to foresee the depression, the Conservative leader said. and to-i day he was over-estimating the retum of prosperity. J

The Liberal Govemnicnt which, came into office in October could; take no credit for the “great im- provement" in economic conditions at the end of 1935, Mr. Bennett said. That should be credited to the Conservative administration which was defeated at the polls.

There was a. "complete vindi- cation" for his government's trade policies in the fact Caanada went up from eighth to sixth among world trading nations, he declar- ed.

The Liberals laughed at statement. Mi’. Bennett told them they could laugh but they could‘ not change the trading record nor take credit for the policies that led to it.

During the depression world trade fell to 34.3 per cent of the 1929 level. Mr. Bennett said, quot- ing League of Nations figures. In 1929 Canada had 3.71 per cent of

In general’ trade, Canada had 2.88 per cent of the world total in 1929, 3.45 in 1030; 3.09 in 1031; 324

government modified to a great , extent the visible balance of Can- ‘ adian trade. The commodity bal- ance of trade, exclusive of gold,l had been rlmning steadily against Ci.nad.o. before the Conservatives came into office in 1930.

In 1929 there was an unfavorable balance of 311000.000 and in 1931. the first year the Conservatives were in office, it had decreased to $10,000,000. By 1932 it had been changed into a favorable balance of $49,000,000. The favorable bal- ance then increased to $136,000- 000 in 1933, $148,0D0.000 in 1934 and $192,000,000 in 1935

“It has been said he raised the tririff." said Mr. Bennett. “We cer- tainly did. We took steps that were necessary to safeguard the integrity of this country."

Faced Unfair Competition

Canada at that time was faced with competition from disorgan- ized industries in the United States which were seeking markets for their surplus. Every increase in im- ports meant loss of jobs for Can- adians. Increases in the tariff did not necessarily mean increase in prices to the consumer.

Undertakings were obtained from inanufacttirers not to increase prices and were observed to the letter.

The manufacturers had more than lived up to their undertaking for they had reduced prices in 1032. They had refrained f:om in- vi-c:i.ing prices when there were in- creases in the United Stata.

“There was no rise in prices to the Canadian farmer until ‘the United States agreement was signed when, of course, they were released from their obligations," M2". Ben- nett said.

Implement prices in Catintiti and the United States were now about on a parity and in some casfs Cun- ndinn prices were lower, he added.

It was true uncttiployimiit in- creased under the new tariffs, Mr.‘ Bennett continued. but he usi-ted what would have resulted if the duties had not been raised.

Ottawa Trade Agreements

The next step was to sign the Ottawa trade agreements which were attacked bitterly by the Lib- 1.-rnls. Despite this "I have lived long enough to hear the Finance Minister praise them."

Since 1932, the Canadian market for English goods was enlarged rlowly but surely, Mr. Bennett said. Between 1932 and 1935, 350 com- modities were placed on the free list, other tariffs reduced and the excise tax abolished. They widened the door for Empire goods, at the same time preventing Canadians from being injured by the trade.

Reviewing other trade policies of his government, Mr, Bennett re- ferred to the new French treaty, the German treaty, the Brazilian and Polish treaties.

Referring to the Japanese trade settlement. Mr. Bennett said its effect was that where ii. foreign national complained about a value for duty and an appeal was taken, if the appeal was not disposed of in a reasonable time the “national

ed why Mr. Dunning gave no praise to his predecessors for this. but the finance minister said he did.

The Conservative leader said the people did not realize how the Central Bank made savings possible in Dominion financing. This was due largely to the sale of treasury notes for short terms at low rates. Side by side with this was a drive for lower interest rates, batik rates and loan rates.

His government loaned money to western provinces to save them from default, Mr. Bennett con- tinued. This was in the darkest days of depression and was justifi- ':ible. It saved Canada's national credit, although he often thought the loans should not continue be- yund a certain point.

Proposed Loan Council

Turning to the proposed loan council scheme, Mr. Bennett said it was unfair to Alberta to propose one scheme which was not final. The Dominion, he said. presented It proposal to all provinces and. when Alberta. declined and de- faulted its bonds, modified it. This was unfair.

Finance Minister Dunning inter- rupted to say Alberta passed legis- lation for a forced conversion which altered the situation entirely.

M.r. Bennett said. he could not agree, The point was a proposal was changed and there seemed to be no finality.

"I have always felt that until, stich time as there are evident. signs of substantial recovery there can: be no real conversion of Duiiiinion. provincial and municipal debts," sttld Mr. Bennett.

spasmodic partial conversions could be carried on as in the past few days with considerable savings. ‘

Mr. Bennett, said the government i, should not ask the British Parlin—l ment to amend the British North- Aincrica. Act to permit of retroac-. live legislation with mspcct to loan councils. He also suggested to clothe the provinces with power to impose indirect. taxation raised questions of the “utmost gravity." The ef- fects of the Alberta default would not be felt for some time but they should be kept in mind.

When the tariff board tvzts es- tiibllshcd four years ago it \ViI.\ roundly denounced by the Liberal

party, said Mr. Bennett. Now thel board's findings were accepted} without question by the Liberal

government and embodied in the budget. It had adopted the boards findings on the automobile, gaso- line and textiles references.

Another suggestion from the board that should be embodied in legislation would compel tvholl_\'- owned subsidiaries of American automobile companies to publish‘ their annual financial statements in the same way as Canadian com- panies. Mr. Dunning said this wast under consideration i

All but one of the major tnrlfft changes resulted from tariff board, reports, Mr. Bennett said, the one‘ being agriculture implements. He asked if it was fair to slash a tariff from 12 1-2 to 7 1-2 per cent on agricultural implements while parliamentary committee was es-5 tablisltcd to investigate the whole industry. So far the industry had no time to present its side of the argument.

Mr, Bennett gave his opinion the tariff of 7 1-2 per cent was too low for the industry.

The Conservative it-ad:-r attacked the proposed rebate of 50 per cent on some imported papers. It means the Canadian taxpayers paid the other 50 per cent, which to him was unfair and tmjust.
