Salvage is 0f increasing Importance

By JACK WILLIAM‘; Canadian Stuff Ptcss Water

OTTAWA_ April l~l—~—lCP)—Gi\l'- bagc trucks uitd wagons will have an incrcashnly important place in Canada's irar program ii’ a p an proposed by the National War Services Department fo- c1 llectlon of salvage ls adapted by munici- palitles.

As material shortages increase, the collection of salvage is becom- ing more important but tire rest- rictions have brought difficulties to many trrlunteer organizations which have been dependent on the borrowing of commercial trucks on a. part-t me basis for making col- lections. -

New tires are no longer available for commercial truck; vsed ordinary delivery purposes and onany fi ms are reluctant to alow their trucks to be used for non- business purposes, salvage officials said tfday. To meet this difficulty the department is asking munici- palities to make salvage collections through regular garbage collection

w- facilities.

In the past i! months Canada's salvage campaign has served the double purpose oi‘ makin’; viist quantities of material available for essential war industries rind at the same tithe providing some 31.040000 for wai- purposes, This money has been raised b the sale of material mrre than 1. organizations have cdlcctcd.

Now salvage workers are slipping behind in a race with wai- indust- ries, officials say, Salvage is not being provided in sufficient flilflfltl- tles to meet urgent needs.

The bundle of newspapers a Boy Scout loads on a truck soon finds its way Into a huge machine and emerges as cardbtard for Dackin8- tubes which fit over shells: broken glass may beccme a port light on a Corvette; bones and fats provide glycerlne for explosives.

At the moment the material salv- age workers want most is P191191‘; they need 25,000 tons of it by Mly 31 for gun mountings, tank fittings and fire lrse. With outside sources out off, collection of used material the only immediate source of rubber for these war nee: is and the salvage campaign has tukcn on new and greater important-e.

But, said Sir Kingsley, "there must be a further curtailment of civilian eonsu tlon and the pol- icy of stabilize ion will be contin- ued and developed."

He stressed the necessity of keeping price levels from climbing further, declaring the price of oer- tain food rtoples had gone up 25 per cent since the start of the war before the government hammered the level back to 10 per cent.

Double Entertainment Tax

Sir Kingsley proposed doubling the entertainment tax, effective May 10. These increases were esti- mated to produce 514,000,000 in a full year and £i2,000,000 this year.

The income tax changes for lower brackets were thought likely to boost war production, since there have been reports that many low paid workers were declining to work overtime because the extra money would go out in taxes.

The new limits will exclude single men earning less than £2 weekly and married men earning less than £3 weekly. A married

the man with two children now must

earn £5 Weekly before be is liable to income tax.

Married women earning up to £00 annually instead of £45 also are exempt from tax.

Sir Kingsley announced that the budget provided for post-war erod- its for 20 per cent of war-time excess profits taxes paid, saying this was expected to contribute substantially to post-war industrial and commercial l traction.

An eminent British economic ex- pert sald this post-war credit for a part of the excess profit taxes would provide an incentive prev- iously lacking.

This expert estimated that un- der the new budget the govern- ment would take through direct and indirect taxation so nor cent of the total national income, com- pared with 40 per cent in 194i and 28 per cent before the war.

I-le said that reckcninil total ex- penditures against national income the percentage would be 87 l-2. but that “is quite absurd b90011” not all the payment of such ex-l

‘Slowdowns in 8 plants with. Naval contracts

WASHINGTON. April lir-(AP) —Development of "slowdowns" in eight plants with important navy contracts was reported today by Senator Harry Byrd tDem.-Va.) on the basis of information from the office of assistant secretary of the navy.

The navy‘s compilation, as made public by Byrd, indicated that in five of the plants the reported slowdown was attributed entirely to labor and that in the other three labor was partly responsible. Ln one of these plants alleged "in- efficient management" was cited. in another some available ma- chinery was said i0 be utilised and in the third the difficulty was at- tributed partly to “continual changes in specifictaious by prime contractors." l Production losses ranged from 25 to 90 per cent.

"I am startled and dismayed by a navy department report on slowdowns in industries engaged in vital naval production.’ Byrd dc- ulared in a. statement. “If any- thing is more reprehensible than a. complete halt of work on war production. it must be a deliber- atc slowdown."

Meanwhile Navy Secretary Frank Knox told the House of Represen- tatives naval committee that he wculdtft be surprised" if President Roosevelt issued an executive order defining a national war labor pol- icy.

l-le predicted that such a policy would be evolved-elm» by ex- ecutive order or congressional action-as a result cf “this pm- sent confusion” over the labor sit- uation but did not elaborate on she possibility of an executive or-
