Senate of Canada. ‘rhelz- pro- claimfi policy of notioriaiizing industryvif ever they should gain pdwel" in this country has not, I think. worked very well in the Province of Saskatchewan." ‘ (Senator McIntyre quoted in this connection from the PlnonciaiPost, dealing with the closing down of several private industries taken over by the Saskatchewan “GovermnentJ

Parlors 0f‘ senate

The Senate of Canada was in- stituted and set up by the Fathers of Confederation for the purpose of preventing legislation which would not be.ln the interest of the country; it ‘was intended to pro- vide a second thought or, if you will, its role was to be that of o. safety valve which would operate against legislation that is not in the best interestsof the people.

"Honourable Senators remember the Naval Bill in 1912, whereby it was proposed to hand over $35,000,- 000 to the British Government for naval purposes. The bill was op- posed, by the opposition, headed by ‘Sir Wilfrid Laurler. The debate in the other place went on day and night, week in and week out, for months. The opposition divided it- self into four groups, which were led respectively by Dr. William Pugsley, Frank Carveil, Frank Oliver and E. M, McDonald, of Plctou county, Nova Scotia. They stood guard at eight-hour intervals. Sir Wilfrid, speaking on the bill, asked if. anybody imagined that there would be only one contri- bution? ‘Contribution after contri- bution will be recurring,’ he said ‘and will leave no trace behind

"Speaking further on the bill he said that a contribution of $36 million for naval purposes would settle nothing; that any Canadian aid to the Imperial naval services which did not imply a permanent policy would not be satisfactory. He said that ships should be own- ed, manned and maintained by Canada. and built in Canada as soon as was practicable. After thirty-seven years it has been piroven that Sir Wilfrid Lnurier was right.

"During the long debate. which lasted for days and nights and weeks, and even for months. the government of the day saw fit to introduce the closure. Sir Robert Borden, then Prime Minister of Canada, introduced a resolution for this purpose, and having Con. cluded, his address, moved that it be adopted. Sir Wilfrid Lourier and Mr. Hazen, of Saint John, who at the time, I believe, was Minister of Marine and Fisheries, rose simultaneously. sir wnma Lauriefls intention was to spe k to the resolution or to moveam amend- ment, and he caught the eye of the Speaker first. The Speaker in tiun announced that Sir Wilfrid had the floor. An honourable member from East Hastings, by the name of Northrup, rose and moved that Mr. Hazen, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, from the county and city of Saint John, be now heard. The Speaker put the motion, the division bell rang, and the motion was carried by thirty- eight votes. Mr. Hazen immediately rose and moved for the adoption of the resolution which was moved by Sir Robert Borden, thus pre- venting Sir Wilfred from speaking to the resolution or moving an A " rt

“We all can imagine Sir Wilfrid's state of mind in view of the humiliating position in which he was placed. Far be it from me to enter into polities in this debate, but I quote the words of Sir Wil- frid Laurier, uttered at that time. ‘Thus even-handed Justice com- mcnds the ingredients’ of our poisoned chalice to our own lips. The poison that he forced on us today will come to his own lips at some future day. We are in the minority. We can be gagged, we can be prevented from expressing our opinion, they can trample upon our rights; but, sir, the day of reckoning will come, and it will come as soon as we have s dis- solution of the present parliament.’

A Safety Valve

‘Honourable Senators, the Naval Bill of 1012 was passed in the other place. but when it came to this chamber it was. defeated, saving the country $35 million at that time and perhaps many more millions since, because if that bill had been passed that year we might have had other navailoiiis for many years afterwards. This proved that the Senate W!!! o. safety valve in the matter nf such legislation: and the action it took at that time would more than pay the expenses of the Senate for many years to come.

."Another eminent gentleman to speak on minority rights was Charles Evans Hughes. He spoke before the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the comme cnt of the first session of Congress in the United States. He had this to say: ‘We not only praise individual liberty, but our constitutional system has the unique distinction of ensuring it. Our guarantees of foir trials, of due process in the protection of life, liberty. and property - which stand between

British Wheat Contract

"The leader of the Opposiaion (Hon, Mr. Haig), for whom I have the greatest respect, a. man who has risen to the highest position in his chosen profession, made some sweeping statements in this chamber two 0r three weeks ago. He said that the prairie farmers lost $500 million because of the Canadian Government's wheat contract with the British Govern-

merit." ‘That is

Hon. right."

Hon. liir. McIntyre: "I should just like to ask the honourable gentleman how he arrived at that figure. I fried to figure it out, and I must confess that I could not arrive at it at all. Perhaps before I am through I can prove to my honourable friend that the farm- ers of the West did not lose e. single dollar.

“It is true that the Canadian Government made a contract with the British Government for sonic- thlng like 160 million bushels a year for a two-year period -- n. total of 320 million bushels — at. $1.55 a. bushel. If I am wrong I wish to be corrected. My honour- able friend claimed thut the West- ern wheat growers lost $500 mil- lion through that contract. Does he know that in 194.6 the Cana- dian wheat growers got 7 cents pcr bushel more for their wheat ihan did ihe American growers? And does he know that in the past three years the American growers received only 35 cents a bushel more than the Canadian growers? Somebody else got the high price he speaks about; the growers dd not get it; probably the speculators got it.

"In xiormai times in the United Slates wheat generally sells at 1'7 cents a bushel more than it docs on the Canadian market. There- fore, if any Inss was suffered in the last two years it would only amount to l8 cents a bushel. Multiply l8 by 320,000,000 and see how far short the figure is of $500 million."

Hon. Mr. Aseltine: "May I ask the honourablrsenotor a quest- ion? What about all the wheat that was delivered to the mlllers of Canada for '18 cents a. bushel. for which ihe farmers got $125? How much of a loss was suffered there?"

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: "I have al- ready expialned that in the last three years the American grow- ers only got 35 cents n bushel more than the Canadian growers. The speculators got the rest of it.

Mr. ' Aseliine ::

U. S. Wheat Surplus

"Does my honourable friend know that the United States grew 965 million bushels of winter wheat. and 1.2 billion of spring wheat in each cf the last three years? Does he know that there is a wheat surplus in the United States at the present time? Does he also know that the Argentine cannot now sell her wheat to countries to which she sold wheat for as much as $3 and $3.50 dur- ing the wariYThey will not buy from Argentine today.

“If any honourable Senator went into a tailor shop and wanted a suit of clothes in a hurry, if the suit was only worth $75 but the tailor charged $150, that hon- ourable Senator would never go back to that. tailor again. So it is with the wheat consuming coun- tries. They had to have the wheat during wartime, and they had to pay the Argentine the exorbitant price that was, asked for it. Docs my honourable friend know that the price of wheat on the Chicago market has dropped to $2.06 a bushel?"

Hon. Mr. Wood: "It may be low- er than that."

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: “Yes, it may be lower. The last report I read showed that it had dropped to $2.06 a bushel):

"In view of the reported wheat surplus in the United States, the fact that the Argentine is not selling her wheat to the countries she sold to during the war. and the fact that wheat is selling for $2.06'a bushel on the Chicago market and may drop lower than that, say, to $1 a bushel as it did in the past, it may be that the long - term contract which the Canadian Government made with the British Government at $2 a bushel for 140,000,000 bushels for each of the next two years will yet bring a profit to Canada of $60 million or $100 million instead of a loss of $500 million as stated by the leader of the Opposition.

Farm Income Taxes

. "I should also like to call the at- tention of this house to the quest- ion of income tax, a subject which has caused much dissatisfaction throughout the ‘land. I am not blsniln any provincial officials because they have-to take their direction from the Income Tax Department in Ottawa. But our farmers, especially in my own Province, with which l am well acqusin‘ ’, have been advised to make returns for 1M3‘, 1N3, i944 and 1N6. Yet no income tax forms were sent to them prior to 1946. "I remember taking this point up with Mr. Illiott at a Senate committee hearing when ho was Deputy Minister of National

Revenue for taxation. Lashed him l‘

how it was that, if a corporation or an individual paid more than he had to pay, and the Cavem- ment held that money for four, five or six years, that individual or corporation received no inter- est on it. Iasked him why, on the other hand, if the income tax was not paid in full, the department exacted a 5 Der cent interest charge and, after the income was assessed, if the tax was not paid at s. certain time, the interest was raised from 5 per cent to 8 per cent. The answer he made was that ‘The King can do no wrong.’

“Well, if the King cannot do any wrong, those who are working under the King can do wrong; and the King is subject to his own laws. I claim that no attempt should be made to collect the _in- come tax from farmers 0n income earned prior to 1946."

Hon. Mr. Aseitine: “The farmers of Saskatchewan have been paying income tax ever since 1917. A lot of them filed returns im- mediately after the law came into force, and they have been paying ever since."

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: “The farm- ers of Saskatchewan may be more enlightened than those in other Provinces. I do not think that farmers in other Provinces were aware that they were required to do this."

Hon. Mr. Aseltinc: “They should have been aware. Ignorance of the law is no excuse."

llun. Mr. McIntyre: “I know that, but the farmers did not keep ac- count of their revenues and ex- penditures, and therefore were not in a position to make their re- turns. I suppose many of them did not know they had to make re- turns at all. My friend himself has of course filed his returns, but if he looked around his pro- vince he would probably find many farmers who have not done S0,.

lion. Mr. llalg: "Will the hon. gentleman answer me a question?"

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: “If I can."

lion. Mr. Haig: “What pro- portion does the. number of in- spectors in Saskatchewan, Mari- itoba. and Ontario bear to the number of farmers in each of those Provinces?" ~

lion. Mr. McIntyre: looked it up."

Hon. Mr. llaig: “I suggest to you that there are more inspectors in Saskatchewan than there are in Ontario."

lion. Mr. McIntyre: "If that is so it indicates, not that the farm- ers in Saskatchewan are crooks, but that probably more inspectors are needed to make them obey the law."

l-lon. Mr. Haig: "No, but the Government is after them to make them pay."

lion. Mr. McIntyre: “In Prince Edward Island we have only one inspector."

lion. Mr. Aseiiinez "There should be a. good many more.”

lion, Mr. McIntyre: “When of- ficials ask a farmer how much he made in i942, i943, 1944 or 1945, lie docs not know, because he kept no records. If farmers do make returns for those years they have to guess, and I claim that they should not have to pay any income tax in those circumstances. If any returns were made for any year prior to i946, and any taxes were paid on those returns, the moneys should be refunded."

"Moreover I say that if the De- partment is not able to amass re- turns in the year in which they are made, the returns should stand. There should be no going back into the records of an individual or corporation for five or six years.

"I never

Civil Servants

"One other matter that I would like to bring to the attention of the leader of the Government is the financial position of civil ser- vants who retired not later than ten years ,_ ago. In those days salaries were generally much low- er than they are at present, and the civil servants who retired then were given a considerably smaller allowance than is being paid to those Ln their respective classes who retire today. In many cases the pension paid to people who re- tired ten years ago b not suffici- ent to buy. the necessities of life at present high costs.
