"Members Audlt Bureau ol Clwnlnthu “The Strongest Memory is Weaker than the Weakest. Ink.” FRIDAY, JANUARY, C, 1969 The Sales Tax {he Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Gazette predicts that at the coming session of Parliament the King Government. as an elec- tion-eve gesture, may reduce the sales tax to 4 per cent. This notwithstanding theunbalanced budget and the millions required to meet the extra liabilities incurred in peggiiig the price of western wheat. If the Government acts in ac- cord \vith this prediction it will be running true to form. It will be recalled that the first King Government, lifter increasing the sales tax fYOm 3 to 6 per cent, and collecting $612,000,000 rev- snue from this source in the succeeding seven years, sliced the rate to l per cent before going to the electors, Liberal efforts to capitalize on this piece of “geiier0sity" in the following election campaign proved a sorry failure. The incoming Conservatives were forced, in 1931. to raise the tax to 4 per cent and in the fol- lowing rear to the former Liberal rate of 6 per cent, the country at that time being in the trough of the world's worst depression, with millions of revenue required to meetuneniploy- ment and other emergency problems. A great hullabaloo was raised by Liberal opposition members at restoration of the 6 per cent rnte_ It was made a major issue in the sub- sequent federal campaign of 1935, when the promise was given that this tax would be abolished altogether if the King Government was returned. We all know the sequel. Mr. King and his followers were victorious. and at the next ses- sion of Parliament the sales tax was increased to the all-time high level of 8 per cent. where it has since remained. In the last fiscal year alone, $142,000,000 was collected by the King Government from this source. Now, according to the Gazette correspondent, we are to see a repetition of the Liberal trick of sales tax reduction before facing the elec- tors, with no guarantee, of course, that the ex- isting exoribtant rate will not be restored in the event of another Liberal victory. It reminds one of the old adage: “The devil was sick, the devil a. saint would be; Thedevilwaawell, thedovllcafllnt wane." A Stern Warning It ls a far cry from the traditional isolation- ist policy of the United States of a few months ago to the speech which President Roosevelt delivered this week before the session of Con- gress. No nation, the President declared, can be safe today in its “will to peace" so long as any other single powerful nation refuses to settle its grievances at the council table_ “We have learned that survival can not be guaran- teed by arming after the attack begins . . . lVe have learned that long before any overt mil- itary act, aggression begins with preliminaries of propaganda, subsidized penetration, the loosening of ties of good will, the stirring of prejudice and the incitement to disunion.” No better summing up has been made of the activities of Germany under Nazi rule. The fact that the German ambassador was present during the President's speech to Congress add- ed emphasis to this pointed warning. Moreover, said Hr. Roosevelt, "we have learned that God- fearing democracies of the world which observe the sancititv of treaties and good faith in their dealings with other nations can not safely be indifferent to international lawlessness any- where. They can not forever let pass, without effective protest, acts of aggression against sister riati0ns~—acts which automatically under- mine all of us." It is impossible, of course, to estimate the effect of the President's speech in the totalitar- ian countries where independent expression of opinion is prohibited. ln France and England, however, it has been construed as indicating a marked change in United States foreign policy, bringing Washington into closer alignment with European democracies. _.____________._____ Quebec's Example Publicity was recently given through the Canadian Press to the Quebec Government's farm colonization scheme, based, it is stated, on the Government's "firmconviction that the pro- vince will not prosper if agriculture, its basic industry, does not." -- Started in 1936, when the Duplessis Govern- ment came inlo power, the sclimie is primarily . for the purpose of colonizing rich but undevelop- ed sections in the northern countiesof Temis- kamlng and Abitibi, but it also includes the re- habilitation of abandoned farm properties in old parishes. Already more than 20,000 persons, in- tluding unemployed and their families, debt- burdened fanners and their sons, have been set- '~" . and land-clearing.‘ fled-in groups of 2o to 5o. Roads, churches and lchoolo were built immediately a new commun- lty "was famed. If the colonists are new to specially organized schools teach them how itiofdoue. - In this.

November totalled $425,012 compared with $340,196 in October and $890,806 last year. while imports amounted to $723,446 compared with $650,660 in October and $925,426 in No- vember, 1937. a w a m Miami Beach is one of the few major cities of the United States which has no industries. The one exception, if it could be called that, is ; tween the Vatican. ~' I tourists. But city ordinances prohibit opera- tion of any sort of nlanufacturing plants with- in the city limits. u a n1 a Christian ethics can never be reduced to a legal system, according to Lord Stamp, British economist, who in a lecture a few days ago at London University held that the religious fac- tor and economics must always be a “blend," and, as the vital force in advancing civilization must have to do with motives rather than the mere mechanics of the economic order, tlie func- tion of the Church lies in changing men and \v0- men and not in advocating schemes of changed society. a to u s The value of the living animals exported in November was $1,358,427 compared with $1,- 039,332 in October and $781,471 a year ago. Most of the exports went to the United States, there being 854 cattle for the improvement of stock sent to that country, along with three to New Zealand and eight to Newfoundland. Im- ports amounted to $391,087 as zigaiilst $101,385 in the previous month and $398,013 in Novem- ber, 1937. 1 a 1r 4- The accoustics in both Chambers of Parlia- ment at Ottawa are defective, and endeavours to rectify it by introducing wires and loudspeak- ers have been frustrated by the “Elder Statesman" and a section of the newspaperirien. The objec- tion on the part of the Elder Statesmen has not been explained, but in the opinion of the Parlia- mentary Press gallery “improvement" would mean merely that a lot of speeches not worth de- livering or hearing would be thrust upon un- willing ears. "The political reporters," we are told, “would appreciate such a thing when good speeches are being made but, unfortunately, a great deal of chaff is mixed with the straw.” Illflilll The British Columbia Government has agreed to make a grant of $3,000 toward holding the Imperial Press Conference in Canada in 1940. The conference will sit in various parts of the Dominion, delegates visiting all the provinces. The federal Government and other provincial governments have been approached for grants,- Mr. Pattullo said. A total of $75,000 is being sought for the conference, with the Dominion providing $50,000. It is to be hoped our own Provincial Government will make substantial contribution, for a visit from the Empire Press will be the biggest boost the Province is ever likely to get. w w n- a Some people have all the luck. Oil was dis- covered the other day on the 100 acre farm of Mr. Edward Smith, St. Elmo, lll,, and he sold a lease of it to an oil company for $50,000 and a better-tlian-average royalty on the oil that it produces. Immediately Mr_ Smith bought six cars as Christmas presents for each of six child- ren and a seventh car for Mrs. Smith and him- self. The only member of the family left with- out a car was a minor child, who received a bank account providing enough to buy a car when he reaches the age of i8. . a at m a The November export of Canadian cheese amounted to 125,357 cwt. valued at $1,801,104 compared with 121,653 worth $1,779,844 in the previous month and 147,612 at $2,158,655 in the corresponding month last year. The total to the United Kingdom was 120,332 cwt. The im- ports of cheese in November totalled 189,774 cwt. at $45,575 against 146,442 worth $34,139 in October and 223,806 at $54,847 in. Novem- ber, 1937. The amount from France was 54,- 365 cwt., Italy 39,251, Switzerland 39,120, Dfnmafk 14.664 and the United States 13,846. a m a t: According to Rev. George W. Webber, Sec- retary of the Lord's Day Alliance, Ontario Pro- vincial Government is tending towards the re- cognition of professional Sunday sports. Pro- vincial Attorney-General Gordon Conant said there should be modification of Sunday “Blue Laws." “There 1's nothing in the Lords Day Act of 1906 to forbid personal recreation," Mr. Webber said. “Any ban on personal recreation to which objection ‘is taken, is wholl due to the act of 1845. The 1906 Federal act oes not for- bid Sunday recreation; it forbids the business of sport on Sundays. There is nothing in the act that I know of to stop people from playing base- ball or like games, so long as they are not com- mercial in any way.” In supporting the attor- ney-general Mr. Hepburn said: “Certain games and shows are permitted in other provinces and states on Sundays and I cannotsee that On- tarids morals are wary much stiperior." i i I Mussolini would like, no doubt, to follow Hit- ler in purging Italy of its Jewish population, but his undertaking would be much more up- setting that that of his “blood brother” maify. In Italy's army, eleven generals are Jewish. Three hundred university professors, 14 Senators are Jewish and at least seven lead- ing medical schools are directed by Jewish mien- tistl.

Fortunately it Ls ln this very la e percentage of mental pat- leiifs that the new treatment of insulin shock has given brilliant results. Just why this treatment gives results ls as yet unknown. Some research ivorkers think that the deep sleep or unconsciousness enables the patient to forget or get completely away from the cause which disturbed his mental bal- arice. Before the insulin treatment was known. a large number o! these dementia praecox patients re- covered uiider the usual methods of treatment, so the question arts- es as to whether the insulin treat,- ment ls really a better method. Dr. Norman L. Easton. Director o! Research, Ontario Hospital. New Toronto, Canada, compared two groups who received the same food, some amount of rest. same medical attention except trial one group received insulin and the other not. The results show- ed that: while 65 percent or ‘those taking lnsulln were able to leave hospital, Just. 40 percent of those not taking the insulin recovered. Dr. Easton states that he is firm- ly convinced that more can be done for schizophrenics with ln- sulin than without it.
