iiurtaiiment-of Private and Public Spending llrged By Confederation Life President

‘TORONTO- C. s. Macdonald. in his presidential address at the 68th annual meeting of the Confedera- tion Life Association here JQIIHBYY :3, urged rigid curtailment 0i DIW- ate and public spending on all ex- cept war measures, explaining that reserves should % accumulated for projects which l be needed m um period of rehabilitation after the war.

“When demobilization comes. it brings with it. the dismantling of our entire war economic structure. Work now deferred will then be not only useful but probably VEFY I193" essary," said Mr. Macdonald, citing the Toronto traffic artery as the type of public work which Well oould be delayed. He observed with approval that work on several fed- eral projects and been oil-levelled "so long as this continues, iridi- vidual sacrifices, no matter 110W onerous. will be borne with calm determination," he was confident.

Mr. Macdonald warned that we!‘ restrictions 0n business must be scrapped when the conflict ends. "If regilmentation is maintained l-fl

tune of peace, the line of demarca- tion between a democracy and a totalitarian stale would be slight indeed." he said. “Matters which the state takes out of control of the individual should be looked upon as inherent personal rights which our citizens have lodged with the government as e. temp- orary custodian, to be returned when the war is over. We are all repared to force certain rights, ut these seer ces should not be allowed to ental the permanent loss of liberty." ' Opportunity to work out a per- manent solution to national prob- lems such as relief, the railway de-

flcit, and farm conditions in west- ern Canada, should be seized now, to simplify the transition back to a peace economy. Wartime activity would lessn demand for relief and increase rail revenue. Western pros- perity would be on a firmer founda- tion if it were based on the raising of hogs, sheep and cattle as well as wheat, he stated.

Noting that Canada had 27,000 governing bodies, he suggested that wartime might be a good occas- ion on which to reduce overlapping government services. Improvement in municipal financing was evi- deuce that e. strong movement ior economy was making itself felt in Canada, even before the outbreak of war. 1n two years, 16 cities across Canada had cut their debt by $21,000,000. In Ontario, muni- clpallties were again on a sound basis, having reduced their debt by $100,000,000 since 1932. Five years ago, $105,000,000 in debentures of Ontario municipalities was in de- fault_ Of this $102,000,000 now has been refunded.

"In the improved record of muni- cipal finance is seen the effect of that frugal instinct that dominates the life of our average citizen, that leads him to pay his debts and keep his liabilities within reasonable bounds," observed Mr. Macdonald. "It is proof that our economic life is sound and offers an note of confidence at a time when Canada is assuming further obliga- t ns."

Pointing out that Confederation Life business has increased more than 600 per cent since 1914, Mr. Mncdonaid said that the expansion was in line with Canada's growth in the last 25 years The Dominion was a young and untried nation in 1914. Giant strides in manufactur- ing and mining, which have more than tripled their 1914 production, have made Canada capable of a greater war eiiort with less strain than in the last conflict. He pre- dicted that the rapid expansion which came during and after the last war would be repeated, with a consequent rise in national wealth to meet war costs,

"The outstanding success 0f the recent loan is ample proof of the confidence of Canadians in their country, and that Canada will emerge after the war a stronger member of the empire," he said" He paid tribute to co-operation of the Fbreign Exchange Control Board in placing foreign exchange at the disposal of Canadian life in- surance companies. No policy own- er outside Canada, with the minor exception of a few living in enemy- controlled countries, had failed w receive money due.
