"We demand a lowering of in- come tax rates and the raising of the exemptions to $1,200 for a sin- gle mun and $2,000 for a married mun. We demand drastic reduc- tlon and in many cases complete abolition of the hidden taxes.

“Only through a special session of Parliament can this be done and a lowering of the cost of liv- ing be brought about.

"We demand, st the some time, that there should be an adjust- ment mmde in the old sge pen- sions, and in the pensions psy- abie to veterans and widows of the last war and of World War I, in keeping with the high cost of living.

Future Jeopsrdlsed

"Canada's economic future is jeopardized by a lack of U. S. doi- lars. This fact is being concealed from the Canadian people by the Mackenzie King Government. but the truth is that the situation is so critical as to necessitate a spe- cial session of Parliament being called at once to deal with it. It will grow worse at time goes on. It cannot be cured by the Mac- kenzie King technique of sitting tight. dolrm nothing, and hoping that the storm will blow over."

and that the Newfoundland deie. gation was taking them back to their own people. But here is the R and improper thing. These dispatches stated that the terms would not be made public until after the election here in York- Sunbury.

"Why all this secrecy? Willy do these terms have to be kept sec- ret until after the vote here on the 20th. I'll tell you why. Its because the Mackenzie King ad- ministration fears it will lose this seat if the terms are made known. It's because the Government is rightly afraid that the people of New Brunswick will be indignant at the terms offered Newfound- land in comparison with the terms under which New Bruns. wick adheres to the Confederat- on.

“I say this. and I say it flatly: there's some skullduggery afoot- eise why this secrecy.

"We demand as wail, that there should be a royal commission set up to investigate the causes of the higher cost of living. If it is due to high taxes let tthat fact be known. If it is due to profiteer- ling on srlybodys part. let us know ‘that. too. Let us get at the tl-ut-h in order that we may remedy th" situation. We cannot let it drift on. “There should have been a royal commission on housing long ago. There never has been such a gigantic flop as this Government's alleged housing program. Let us find out what is holding back the building of houses and what's causing the high prices. Let's find out whether the Government, the supplier. the builder or the work- man is to blame and in what de- gree. Let's get at the truth." ~

En routs to Newfoundland, the big aircraft made contact with a United States "marker" ship sta- tioned in mid-Atlantic to‘ glvg ls s position check.

The four-motored ship, which had been loaded with 3.500 gal- lons of gasoline before leaving Eng- land, touched down lightly here. Gillespie said that on the take-off at Lyneham he merely had flick- ed s switch which “threw in" the robot pilot and the experimental plane took the air smoothly after travelling halfway down the long runway.

The robot plane had been in England since Sept. 22. when it landed at Brize Norton, oxford- shire. .by automatic control sfter pioneering a ZAOO-mile piiotless flight from Stephensville. During the stay there Gillespie made demonstration flights for the R. A. F. and because of the valuable instruments aboard the experi- mental plane it was kept under close guard at all times.

The aircraft was flown to Lyne- ilam. about 80 miles west of Lon- don, from Brize Norton last night ilernuse of the longer runways there. The crew was briefed in R. A. F. flight headquarters, scan- ned weather reports and thell ate a huge breakfast before beginning the flight.

If we have the spirit of bitterness end intolerance, if we engage in fruitless, futile party strife, we will never win the holy war within or save the world. ‘ "I know there are types of rellg- , ion with much that is evi-l in them.
