Liberal Criticism

The .llIoncian Transcript, a staunch Liberal newspaper, is frankly disgusted with the new

tax levies imposed under the DUNNl.\'t: Budget In a leading editorial on Saturday it says:

“ ‘In imposing new tax levies, one must bear in mind the desirability of avoiding any undue retarding effect on business recovery,’ de- clared Hon. C. A. I_)UI\'I\'l.\'tZ in the course of his Budget speech. This is a sound principle, but unfortunately Mr. DUNNING has not followed it. The increases in the sales tax and the business corporations tax, which were announced yester- day, will have a, definite and pronounced retard-

ing effect upon business.

"One Inay agree with the Minister of Fin- ance that it has become necessary to provide for additional taxation revenue to meet the situation that is presented with :3. deficit of more than $162,000,000, and still be puzzled by his choice of methods. Why should certain burdens which have not proved unduly oppressive be lifted while heavier burdens are placed where they will prove serious liaiiclicaps to business recovery?

"There is no surer way of blocking the re- employiiieiit of idle workers and adding to their number than by placing obstructions in the way of trade. Discouragement of sales in the retail stores is reflected in lessened activities in the factories, and reduced payrolls cause a further reduction in purchasing power, and thus the vicious circle is completed. Throttling business with increased taxes is not the way to promote employment and prosperity.

“It is to be regretted that the government has not had its finger more closely on the econ- omic pulse of the nation that it might riiore ac- curately diagnose the nature of the ills from which the nation is suffering and prescribe more effective remedies. If these taxes could not have been reduced, as had been hoped, at least they .'«' might have been left as they were. ._ . .

3' “It is difficult to find any justification for the increase in the corporations tax, and as for the increase in the sales tax, the least that can be said is that it is rather contradictory to what we had been led to expect before the last elec- tion.”

Municipal Relief

In Parliament the other day some very interesting remarks were exchanged between Mr. MCGEER of Vancouver and Premier KING. In the discussion on unemployment Mr. MCGEER gave considerable attention to the relations of the Dominion with the municipalities, and concluded with the statement that there was need of a much greater measure of co-operation than has exist- ed in the past between the federal, provincial and municipal administrations.

To this Mr. KING replied: “May I say to

. my hon. friend that I do not think he is justified ii saying that there is no co-operation between -.the Dominion and the municipalities. I should " like to remind igim that in the past winter the present administration increased by 75 per cent. for four months the grants to the provinces to be Hpassed on to the municipalities."

Said Mr. MCGEER in the following dia- bgue: “But it was not."

Mr. KING : “It should have been, if it was hot."

Mr. MCGEER: “Hear, hear."

Mr. KING : “That action was in the nature of co-operation between the Dominion govern- ment and.the municipalities while preserving the relationship which under our constitutional re- gpirfiments all governments are bound to recog-

ze .

Mr. MCGEER : "I believe every municipality _ in Canada appreciates what the government did ‘hat regard. and the admonition to the pro- yinces to pass pn the benefits of the increased grant, but notwithstanding that admonition, some of the provinces did not pass it on, I do not think may of them passed on the full amount. I know that while in British Columbia the province was ’ fairly generous with the municipalities, at the lime time it pointed out that as a provincial government their load was far more than they

could carry."

_ If Mr. McGi-:I:It’s implications are correct, U oornnients the Financial Times on this statement, ~ > their it would appear that there is room for in- ,‘ "“’yestigation and action. If the provinces have con- _verted to their own use funds given them for a certain purpose then they should be brought to

book.

Coincident with the announcement of in- creased federal taxes, comes word that the CAMPBELL Government—pledged to balance its budget without any increased taxe5—has jacked up the amusement tax. This was done, not in the Legislature but by Order-in-Council dated April 2.1. The new tax rates go into effect on May 7, and since practically everybody patron- izes amusements of some kind, everybody will have to pay up and look pleasant. 3K 3K it

The apartment of two well known contract; bridge instructors in New York were raided by the police recently and the occupants, Miss MILDRED LOVEJOY, and Mrs. ADELAIDE NEURIT1‘ arrested charged with “keeping and maintaining and allowing their premises to be used for contract bridge gam- bling." Both women are well known enthusiasts who have established reputations as tournament players. Five tables of bridge were being enjoyed at 4.30 p.m. when consternation was created by a, policeman stepping in and casually remarking, “this place is pinched." He allowed the ordinary players to go but conveyed the hostesses to the lock-up. K I I

This in one unreported detail of the Houptmann case. when Sam Lelbowltz was ca‘led in as a. hat; desperate measure, the criminal iat- toniey adopted one tactic he always uses in questioning cllent.s—to u- oertiiln the truth. “They all protest innocence." Leibowttz states, “so I nztk them how, in their opinion, the crime was committed. In every case. the first answer is exactly opposite to the truth so as to cast off, as for as possible, any implication." The attorney, there ore, asked Baum- rnium how he thought the Lind- bersh baby had been kidnapped. “Tiirough the front door," Bruno replied. "It. couldn't, have been done through the window," and he per- sisted in this theory for two and 8 half hours, until Lelbowitz finally forced the confession that the front door method was tmposslble.—Leon- and Lyons, NY.

Dr. Albert E. Rowe, San Fmnclso, in Southern Medical Journal reports on analysis of 2,000 students at University of California. and also his results in private pati- ents during .. period of fifteen years

of 270 patients showing stomach and intestine disturbance due to certain foods, 30 percent were mile and '10 percent. female. Of this 270 cases, 232, more than 85 percent, had food dislikes or disagreements. so percent; had stornach disturb- n-nces, 60 percent had pain or sore- ness and 48 percent had constipa- tlon.

To find out what foods are caus- ing the disturbances may take months or even years and much patience on the part of the physi- clr and the patient. By gradually Peavlng out these disturbing foods.

nd getting the patient free from

symptoins, the food know to be the cause are gradually eaten again in very small amounts so that the patient develops u tolerance (ability to eat them without dis- turbance) for them.

There are, of course ,other dis- turbancce than those in the stom- ach and intestine, caused by foods, such as “head colds," hives or urti- caria. asthmatic, attacks, hay fever ond nstlimn.

I have spoken before of “the foods that commonly disagree with pe~ple" as outlined in the Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion by Drs. Walter C. Alvarez and K. C-orwin Hlnshnw of the Mayo Clinic. These foods were wheat. onions. cabbage, apples, milk, eggs, fats, oentnloup, beef, strawberries. coffee. lettuce, dried beans, carill-

flower, melons, pork. corn and pizkles. The list of foods that do not

disagree or were seldom mentioned by sufferers u.re lamb, gelatin. but- let, sugar, rice, rye, barley, arrow- root, tapioca, sage, lime or scya or string beans, cooked apples, pine- apple juice, beets. asparagus, peas. Irish or sweet potatoes. est: plant, turnips, parsnlpe. pumpkin, arti- chokes, cooked pears and weak ten.

The suitability of Palestine for Jewish colonization has DOW V99“ abundantly proved. The ZION-5?- movemcnt hue got past the tenta- tive or experimental stage. There are today 400.000 Jews in Palestine and unmlgntlon still continues. Last year 81,541. Jews went. to Palestine and in the Yell‘ 13310" 42,350. In the new homeland-Eietz Irsael--they are reclaiming previ- ously unsettled territory and erect.- -ing stable agricultural communities. The United Palestine APDGEJ. through which public assistance is now being naked for the homeless and exiled Jews of the world, is made in behalf of three funds- They are used to buy land in Pales- tine for Jewish settlement (the land being leased perpetually to Jewish families on cpndltion that the)’ “V9 on it and work it), to assist settlers with loans for the Journey to Pales- Line, the purchase of gquipment, and the building of homes. and to finance the movement of Jewish boys and girls from Germany to the homeland. These funds have all been in operation for some years. The first. for example, has bought 100,000 acres of land. On this land 70 per cent. of the Jews in Palestine are settled.

The appeal is being made, as these facts indicate. not for Jewish people already settled in Palestine but for those who wish to so there nnd are for the most part, due to their exile and the wholesale eon- fiscntlon of their goods, in in state of extreme poverty.

The National Bible Society of Scotland, formed in 1861 by union of three other Bible societies, gives a most. interesting account. of its work during the past your in e. book of nearly 200 pages. This nnnual report carries the appropriate title. “The Great. Company", an allusion to the words of the Psalmist: “The Lord gave the Word: great was the company of those that published it." The work of the Society is car- ried on in nearly every country of the World. In addition to distribut- ing English Bibles, Testaments and portions thereof, the society also is- sues the Scriptures in Gaelic. In April, 1935, there was issued from Canada House.
