Here is the scheme in bricf: .\ tax will be levied on a percentage basis -—probably a straight fire per cet1t—0n all in- comes save those at pr iu-"t slightly above the (ild-aige pension lt-u-l. It will have a cciliiig placed upon it in the neighbourhood of $3,000 so as t0 not to add unduly to the load of persons with stibstantial incomes alrcatly fairly heavily tax burdened. l1 will aim at an annual yield something more than onc-quartcr billion dol- lars. and this income will be used to finance the social legislation which mushrooined on the Dominioifs statute hooks just before the last Federal gcncrttl clcction. It will meet the cost of family allowances, of prospective increases in old-age PCDSlOIIs. and of the pending scheme of national health insurance. The thing about such a tax which has vote- conscious Liberal M. R's so badly worried is the suddcnncss with which it is being sprung upon the Canadian people. Hitherto the of- ficial Liberal btiild-tip for family allowances and all such measures has been to the effect llllilt they rcprcscm the manna which Canadian electors harvest freely as a reward for returning the, Mackenzie King Government to power. The idea that such legislation is not manna at all, but that it: Illllat be paid for and that, proportion- ately, the small-income citizen must bear the greatest share of the cost, is a new and revolti- tionary (mg for the Ministry t0 sponsor. Liberal M. P]: arc- franldy pessimistic over the chances of it winning any rcndy public acceptance. What a sectirity tax of the nature riow bc- ing proposed would mean is that individual Can- adians, from the day at which their adult earn- ing power started until the day at which it ceas- ed, would be taxed in order that they might draw family allowances during the relatively short period in their lifetime ivhen they are rearing children. Long before the family allowances are received and long after they have ceased to be paid, the tax on the individual will exist and continue. Ministers in the Mackenzie King Cabinet profess to sce nothing wrong in such taxation. They call it “spreading the costs of raising a family ovcr thc individual's ccotiomic life-tints." That is simply a rotnid-about and impressive way of describing virtually a life-time raise in the individurills taxrs.

Whcn family allowances and other social legislation schemes first were propound- cd by the Liberal (invcrnment, the public was told that it needn't look any of the gift horses sponsored by the Mackenzie King Cabinet in the mouth. Now the public is on the point of having the soundness confirmed of its original suspicions of any DTC-ClCCllOII gifts which Mr. King and his political colleagues might proffer.

Total wool production in Capada last year amounted to 19,626,000 pounds, an incffagg of 347,000 pounds over the I944 production. Al- though shorn wool production declined by over 600,000 pounds from the I944 yield, this was more than offset by an increase of nearly one million pounds in pulled wool, a reflection of the appreciable increase in sheep and lamb mar- ketlnfls during I945. Apparent consumption 0f wool in Canada in 194$ was nearly 11 mil- lion pounds higher than in 1944. The gross value of shorn wool production in 1945 is esti- mated at $4,020,000 which is slightly below the 1944 value of $4,106,000. Cash income from shorn wool sold off farms last year amounted to $3,661,000, a decrease of $106,000 from the in- come of 1944. ' Gross income from shorn wool by prov- inccs, last year, with I944 figures in brackets, were: Alberta, $1,214,000 ($1,257,000); Ont- ario, $813,000 ($834,000); Saskatchewan, $626000 ($614,000); Quebec, $602,000 ($608,- 000); Manitoba, $259,000 ($283,000); Nova Scotia, $164,000 ($176,000); British Columbia, $164,000 ($171,000); New Brunswick, $114,- 000 ($103,000); Prince Edward Island, $64,- 000 (51360-000) -ltDI IURIAL NU I ES- Official end of the war in Ettrope this date, 1945.

In a recent issue of the Canadian Agricultural Institute Review is a most interesting article 0n D.D.T. insecticide spray by Andrew P. Les- lie.

Churchill during the war announced he was‘nol “liquidating the British limpirc." The King is 0f like opinion. Thrce thousand acres are being added to the King's estates at Sandringham. Negotiations have been com- plated for the purchase from the blarquess of Cholmoiidcley of land adjoining the royal cs- tates, including three large farms, a number of small holdings, and part of the villages of Great Bircham and Bircham Tofts. The King intends everything possible to be done t0 pre- serve the rural amenities 0f the area and has agreed to provide a playground and sports pav- ilion for Bircham Parish Council. I Encouraging. Strikes, possible runaway inflation and an “explosive type of boom" to be followed by a severe depression, are groundless causes for worry, says Mr. T. G. MacGowan, manager of market research for Firestone Tire 81 Rubber Company, Akron O. The total number of people 0n strike has not at any time been an alarming proportion 0f the labour force and inflation will not get out of hand, he claims. As far as a boom is concern- td. stock prices may boom but this needn't af- fect prices generally. “All in all 1946 as a whole should be exceptionally good for husi- ness, and the volume of production (not allow- ing for price changes) will not be too much below thetof I945." I i I l The new approach to Protestant Church Union in England is to be along the lines of Confederation. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, who attended the Jubilee Congress of the Free Church Federal Council in Westminster Chapel to extend the greetings of the Church of England, invited the leaders of the Free Churches to consider whether they wished to revive the question of reunion as a. vital issue, ‘so that any proposals they might desire to make could be discussed at the next Lambeth Conference, in 1948. “Reunion, when i1 comes, if by God’: grace, it does, will be re- union of the Church of Englandflhe added. “It will not be reunion with the Church of Eng- land by you. I want you to weigh that phrase. It will not be reunion with the Church of Eng- land; it will be reunion of the Church of Eng- land, for you and I were in origin the Church of England in this country, and in a real sense we still remain the Church of England in this country. When we come together we bdcomc again the Church of England. l look forward to a time when the Church of England. having been reunited. the Methodists, Congregational- iptl, the Baptists, and the Presbyterian: will, within that reunited Church, still function with an identity of their own much as the different order: function within the Rams‘ Ceilidh! with an Identity efiteir on.” Notes By The Wu; A WWII acamni ffle . a i-llrflfid reoentLv INTI! gregieo To mudh amused with m e a9 11:05‘ had them-when litical v3:- e mind 1: he and Seotmltiti soldiers we if they ex- iihey came from Scori- land or Britain. ‘Hiereeaonfor is.l'iewastold ‘w; G . was "You borne from bum - —-Edln- *""........"- Ydndlml much}; w“ sac e lkiee onc-riticizixiga - be can: em in Amerlnbl- anr.

The rest of the story, since 1873. has been told so often that your readers‘ are well aware of the unsavory circum- stances. One thing, hc-ivevc-i". should be impressed upon the mind of every Islander. namely. that the Canadian Confederation was as Sir Wilfred Laurier styled lt. simply a family compact in which Ontario. Quebec, New Brunswick. Nova Bcotla and Prince Edward Island, the originators of the whole stupendous plan. should not only be greatly benefltted but equally served.

It was certainly intended from the outset that the Federal Gov- ernment shuuld have an‘ all pow- erful control of the Domlnhm of Canada as a whole and that lt. would be their lme duty to en- sure that Canad an: in all the Provinces should be laced ln an equally fortunate portion. receive an adequate education and be- come equally prosperous ln chem several calllngii. Under the system of represent- ation ln fhe Ottawa Cabinet. ln the House of Commons and in the Senate, Ontario and Quebec have from the outset dominated a controlling majority and, thinking only of their own interest and for- getting their duty as the grand children of the Fathers of Confed- eratlon. they have refused to allow almost all the demands made upun Ottawa by the three Provinces by the sea. particularly Prince Ed- ward Island, to obtain a favorable vote in the House of Corrimomi. It was always Intended that each Province should have at least one representative in the Federal Cabinet.
