Clouds of Tobacco Smoke Puts Money lnto Tax Goffers

By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer

O'I_'I‘AWA, Aug. 20- (CP) _The cloud of Canadian tobacco make- getting thicker year by year- is helping fill tthe Nation's wartime coffers and aiding at the same time a section of the farming in- dustry which suffers from surplus production.

But with export markets almost wiped out by the war, Canada hari e pile of 1313120500 pounds of tobacco on hand at March 31 with a. good average crop in sight this fail. Even if they go all out it is estimated rmokers will use no more than 60,000,000 to 61,000,000 pounds in a year.

The tax collector is present in spirit wherever tobacco fa handled. Under Finance Minister I1sley's 1042-43 budget, each pound of raw leaf tobacco bears a. tax of 20 cents, a pound of cut tobacco 5i cents, a pound of cigars up to $1.25 and a. pound of cigareta $320. When Jack Canuck buys 22 cigareta fo- 30 gents, he ts giving the tax c01- l-ctor 17.6 cents.

Tobacco revenue for 1042-03 is estimated bv Mr. Ilslev at $65,030.00) compared with 350417.000 in 194i- 42 and $40,557,000 in 1939-40.

Canada Grows Own

But the business is almost all in the Canadian family. In i970, 54 percent of the raw leaf used in Canadian smokes was grown in the Dominion; in 1940. 92.2 per cent: and in 1942. between 93 and 95 per

n . In 1980 only half the tobacco used in cigars was grown 1n Can- ada but in 1942 from 80 to 85 D91‘ cent was the h'me product. In the same period the Canadian tobacco m cigarets rose from 41 per 0H1! to 95 per cent. The home products used in pipe tobacco and snuff in- creased from 63 per cent in 1930 to about 95 per cent today.

Trade Booming

In spite of taxation, consumption is booming. The per will" 0°11" sumption of ',, ts in 1920 was 285 and in prosperous 1920 it was 507. Depression knocked it down to 353 in 1032, but in 1939 1t was 830 and in 194i. 749.

"It mav be that the new taxation will reduce the consumption of cig- areta in the present fiscal ear. but nczeased income of many Canadians ma)‘ leriid lo a further gain," one official ad.

“An important factor in Cana- dian cigaret consumption are the facilities for sending substantial quantities to the men overseas, at special prices. These cigarets are not taxed.

Good Buslnefis

"The shipment of these clgarets overseas is good advertising for Canadian tobacco. If United King- vifm residents get occasional smokes from Canadian soldiers they will get to like them just as much as Canadians and there will be "Meir-made market after the war."

Nazis Reinforce Area.

"It was known that as a con- sequence of our avowed aggressive policy the Germans had recently been heavily reinforcing the coastal defence of the whole of the oc- cupied territory. Heavy opposition was the ‘efore anticipated. In fact, it became clear during the raid that the enemv had brought addit- ional troops and guns to the Dieppe area-quite recently.

"Although thfs air battle had um. been planned as one on the object- ives of the operation the Germans weer forced to call up aircraft rein- forcement frnn all parts of oc- cupied France, Holland and Be gium. Many of these enemy air- craft were engaged before they ever readhed the area of operations, large formations being broken up and dispersed, particularly the mouth of the somme.

"During the engagement 92 Ger- man aircraft are officially known to have been destroyed and about twice that number have probably been destroyed or damaged.

One Destroyer Loot

‘Throughout the operation the naval forces were under heavy air attack and land artillery bombard- ment. Despite this heavy attack our only naval losses were a fairly large number of landing craft, which was to be expected in an operation of this nature, and one destroyer. H.M.S. Berkeley (Lfeut. J. J Yorke), which was s0 seriously damaged that she had to be sunk by our own forces.

"Before the landing operation be- gan e. chance encounter with an escort of an enemy convoy by one of our groups of landing craft re- sulted in the destruction of a Ger- man armed trawler and the setting on fire of another. This chance en- gagem-ent only threw out of time the schedule of this particular lend- ing party by 20 minutes.

Unite Involved

"The naval force which included a Polish destroyer and some fight- ing French Cihasoeure was under Command of Capt. J. I-Iu hu- heilett, R. N. and the mil tars ing such imports because of price - ceiling regulations a fur- ther trend to Canadian tobacco_ for cigars is indicated. Subsidies

The increased use of cut tobacco for pipes and relied cigarets has been slow but, steady. In i920 per capita consumption of out tobacco was 1.2 pounds, in 1938, 2.1 pounds and in 1941, 2.8 pounds.

The na department said that while mar nee were buoy with task, Japanese aircraft, de- stroyers and submarines en aged in a casual bombardment o the newly-won shore positions. They inflicted only minor damage, but a Japanese destroyer or cruiser was bombed and set afire by Am- erican aircraft.

Thus the navy's first communi- que in‘three days on the offen- sive ln the Solomons brought word that it was contiuning with success. It also brought evidence. corroborating the general assumption that the mar- ines have installed themselves in positions from which they will not easily be dislodged.

Mr. Philip condemned two popular phrases-“Aid to Britain" and Can- ada's war effort." ,

"You've insisted right along 0T1 Canada's Army. Canada's Navy and Canada's Air Force and it's your war just as mum as it 1a anybody eiseb."

For 20 years Canada has been "nursed in the idea. that war is a bad tthing, an evil thing." but now "events and realities have Shattered such illusions."

Mr. Philip said Canada deserved more praise for her pronipt decla- ration of war because in Septem- “calmly and deliber- war against Hitler-

Speaking of the wartime Cuna- dian Parliament, he said perhaps "it in e little self-conscious about 001191’ than party feelings, but I have noticed that when anyone does speak out. not querulously and 00-

The tendency in Canada wfnrc the war was to shlrk the responsi- hiiities of membership in the League of Nations.

"When we should have been ng- greseivelv international we became

Contrasted to that state was the spirit of the people when war was declared. From all over the country young men began voluntaflly to pour into the ranks of the Army "which had been neriected; into the Ntwy which had been allowed to rust; into the Air Ilbrce, which had ltecwne the most gallant hroih"hr~".'1 the world has known

Mr. Philip said a social revolu- tion was taking place in Canada, because it is becoming an increas- ingly an industrialized as well as a it: ming country.

“when this war is over you wfll have to convert machines and plants to peacetime manufacture. It will not become posible for Can- ada to be an exporter of both ag- ricultural products and manufact- ured gccds. The only way to pros- Dviiiy will be to become yourselves a consumer nation."
