Urgaiiizzititiii \\'0l‘l\' in connection with this policv was started by the Canadian Manufactur- ers’ Association and Chamber of Commerce in the first week of March. Questionnaires were sent out for the purpose of enabling the print- arv contractors to “know whcrethey can locate ntore stib-caintractors to make certain parts for them, and consequently, dcccntralizc the use of mncliiiie tools and labor." The reason fir this move was impcr.'itivc_ “It is getting more diffi- cult," said the circular accompanying the ques- tionnaire, “to obtain machine tools by delivery (latcs promiscd and every possible use must be nmdc. of available machine tools and, in fact. of all other cqtiipinciit in Canada." Now that a bclatctl beginning has bccn made in ascertaining the industrial possibilities of this Province, it is to be hoped the Provincial Gov- ernment will bring all the pressure possible to bear upon the powcrs-tliat-lic at Ottawa t0 have war work carried out in this Province. it is evi- dent from the statements above tiuotctl that thcrc is rcal nerd for coordinated effort on both availzililr-I tl sidcs.

In effect, this is a capital levy. But it does not directly increase the cost of industrial pro- duction or distribution. It invades provincial fields... Its returns are uncertain, but it does possess advantages at this time. The income tax has always been a prime fav- ourite. It may tend to push prices tip a little but it is "progressive"; based on ability to pay. An increase in corporate and individual income taxes therefore sccms inevitable. The National De- fence tax has an advantage over the income tax - in that it is collected out of current income, thus producing imnicrliztte reduction in constinier spending. A sharp increase in this tax would scent logical, especially as it reaches far down into virtually lllllftX€(l territory. But it is a ques- tion whether the increase in this tax would pro- duce stifficicnt t0 offset the accompanying loss in contributions to war savings certificates. As the big increase in 1941-1942 national incning will be in the lower wage brackets, as much of this income as is feasible will be rccovcred by the government.

Therefore, it is pro- liable in the (ipitiion of (‘rmtiiiiizm BlLffllCIA‘ that further taxes on constimcr goods, such as sugar, will bc introduced. Accompanying these taxes, there may be forms of government control to prevent these taxes from having a pvramiding effect on consumer prices. ______________________, -The Queen's Canadian Fund The first list of local ctintribtitors to the Queen's ‘Qiltlliltliilii litind for Air Raid Victims :ippears iii today's (nun-titan.

This war makes any previous war look llke a wave of economy. Eight thousand dollars paid for a fighting plane in the last. war. It now costs $25,000 to build n Spit- flre, double that for a Hurricane and $150,000 for a Bollngbroke bomber.

As it travels it will represent an lnvestlment equal to the cost of lien Ottawa Parliament buildings. To raise money to equip this division, about $350,000 Canad- ians must save $40 per month. The ordinary infantry division has changed out, of all recognition since the last war. It; travels on wheels. Thirty-seven different types of vehicles are required, 3,525 vehicles altogether. Gun carriers 008i $5.000 apiece. Machine guns mounted ln these carriers cost. $450. The ordinary army truck costs $1.500. A tank brigade will be add- ed to Canada's present Army Corps ln Britain.

There are other war costs distributed among the government departments which will bring the total to about $1.500,000,000- -not counting direct financial aid to Britain. Canada this year will ship about a. billion and a. hall’ dollars oi’ good to Bri- tain for which Canada will receive 350,000,000.
