SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2s, 194s Ottawa's Blanilishments ‘Premier Jones is hopeful that more than hi; previously estimated $2,400,000 yearly wi|| be obtainable from Ottawa under the new financial agreement with this Province. His hopes, how. ever, do not seem to be based on anything mare concrete than the fact that in matters of health and reconstruction grants, no decision has been reached. The previous Federal offers may be renewed; then cgoin they may not, All ihe Pm. mier is really sure of is the two million dbllqr cash minimum, plus 30 per cent of the White Commission grant ($82,500) and relief from the imposition of the 3 cents Federal lax on gasoline. The ‘mmlllutzd $177,000 based on gross nu- tional production is evidently a variable figure and in any case leaves us far short of the hoped: for three million dollar minimum. The Legislature will, of course, expect to receive the fullest details when the agreement comes before it for ratification. In the mean- time, it is worth noting that the Liberal Pre- mier of Nova Scotia still refuses the settlement offered by the King Government, while the Hali- fax Liberal organ, The Chronicle, continues to belabour Mr. King for his dictatorial methods. _ Noting Prince Edward lsland's capitu|a- tion to Ottawa blandishments, the Chronicle says the significant fact in all these negotia- tions is that the financial concessions made by the Dominion Government are contingent on that Government being granted most of the rights of direct as well as of indirect taxation. There is no‘ guarantee given or implied that direct taxation in the future will not take from the provincial taxpayer far more than he is at pres- ent promised in subsidies. "When the original conference broke down lt was absurd to take it for granted that there were no adequate terms of reference upon which lt might be re-apened," says the Chronicle. "lnstead of tackling the country's most vital problem in a frank and open manner, the Dominion Government has given us one of the most outstanding examples in modern times of how to conduct secret diplomacy in the utmost secrecy. Mr. Mocdonald himself had to inform the Prime Minister that all lie knew of the negotiations conducted between Ottawa and the provinces other than Nova Scotia, was what he read in the newspapers. "There is no attempt now being made to stick to the Government's original terms. In- dividual Provinces are being bought off—and with public money-without the general public being asked or consulted as to its expenditure. "It is tantamount to an insult to the intelli- gence of Canadians that their affairs should be dealt with in such a purely horse-trading man- ner wh-an what is really at issue is the devising of means to create a unified Canada, balanced in all its parts. "Canada has an enormous national debt which can be liquidated only by increasing the national income. But any plan to increase that income should, surely, attempt to increase it in every Province of the Dominion. Instead of do- ing that, the present Dominion scheme is to make all the provinces into pensioners of the Central Government." For Tariff Reductions Before upwards of 1,000 Progressive Con- oervative stalyrarts assembled at the annual meeting of their Ontario Association in Tor- onto, Hon. Mr. Bracken made the announce- ment of what many will regard as a reversal of the course followed for nearly 70 years by the party of which he is now thc authentic spokes- man. In so far as he is able to do so, the Pro- gressive Conservative leader has definitely com- mitted tho party of Mocdonald, Tapper, Foster, Borden and Meighen to a policy of tariff re- ductions and freer trade. It may be that many old-time Conserva- tives will disapprove of their leader's action in decreeing this reversal of party policy on a major ngational issue. lf so, comments the Syd- ney Past-Record, they must seek an abiding place olsowherc than in the Progressive Con- oorvotivo ronko. For John Brackon is known to bo a man who thinks carefully bcforo ho speaks, and who always means what he says. As for his warrant in taking this momentous step, it is written in the very text of the trade resolution adopted by tho National Conservative Conven- tion at Winnipeg in Docombor 1942, which cal- lod for tho lowering of all barriers to tho two- way flow of international commerce. Nor is this reversion toward lower tariffs as suddon or radical a chango as it may appear. Tho Notional Policy launched across Canada by Sir John A. Mocdonald in 187B and repeatedly opprovod at tho polls by tho oloctorato of tho Dominion, won its final and conclusive victory in 1896, when tho Liberals, long previously tho froo trodo party, occoptod tho tarfif structure Conoorvotivo Governments had oroctod ond de- fondod over a period of 18 yoors, thus virtually eliminating protection as an issue in Canada's international politics. From thon on thoro has hon littlo if any roal difforonco botwoon tho historic portios with rospoct to tho tariff, whoso gonorol otructuro has undorgono hardly any clion .1 in tho post half c-ontury. ‘o Nutionollolicy of tariff protoction to Clnodioo industry, urgoiitly rioodod whon it was lntrolaood, ‘hos boon o grout foctor in making ono of tho world's loading industrial Conflict, hos dono and continua to do its work, bltglood no longor ho rogordod or tho indis- IQQ" "4 Ilshmublo tariff crood of tho nation. sonso to rocognizo that our tariff structuro is a thing of our own creation, that it can and should bo revised, loworod, raisod, entirely rebuilt, radically rocast, in accordance with tho exigen- cies of external commerce no less thaii those of domestic production. Tho world trend just now seems to be in,tho direction of lowor tariffs, and it is obviously this unmistakable trend which dic- totes to tho Progressive Conservative loader tho expediency and opportunonoss of stating cloar- ly whero his party stands at such a conjuncturo. He has stated this iii unequivocal terms, so clearly expressed os to disarm misrepresentation. =- EDlTORIAL NOTES .-. The courts did their duty in dealing with Fred Rose.
