A plentiful steel supply |viould go far towards setting almost every coun- try on its feet again economically. i i i i l A market for another 2,000,000 bushels of ‘our disease free potatoes is going some, without la doubt. The Premier has good reason to boast Iof this on the eve of an election. l G I i I ~' Australia, which last year exported only 6,000,000 bushels of wheat, expects this year to send to Britain more than 75,000,000 bushels. It is expected that a five year contract with the U. K. will be negotiated. conclude that American agriculture is luxuriat-a ing. Evidence submitted to the Federal Govern- ment's agricultural committee during its ex- tended hearings in Washington this summer will dispel that idea. The Country Guide thus sums up the situation: The fact is that things are not too sunny for I vast number of American farmers, faced as. th:_v are with costs which overshadow their high nccrne. Many of them make too little money, according to census figures, and thousands of them have been ruined by temporary gluts and '05s of war-time markets. Despite the fact that agricultural production rose steadily from I919 to I929, gross farm income dropped from $I6.9 Eiilliafr to $12.9 billion, and farm wealth declined ‘rom $79 billion to $58.1 billion. Present price support schemes do not give riid in proportion to the need. It is estimated that l0 per cent of the farmers sell 50 per cent of farm commodities reaching market. It is obvious, so witnesses said, that this top ten per cent hove been getting the largest share of the benefits. lt is likened by political opponents to the help- the-rich schemes of the Republican party. While this is a domestic issue on which out- siders will have no opinion, it discloses a harden- lng attitude on the part of American agriculture which is bound to make itself felt in any effort to adjust the U. S. export-import balance. Presi- dent Truman's brush with the wool growers earlier in the summer is probably the first in a series with different farm interests. The presi- dent is deeply conscious of the connection be- tween trade and foreign affairs, but he will meet well entrenchd opposition from all sides in secur- lng the passage of adequate measures to place European, and for that matter Canadian, trade with the United States on a secure foundation. Mr. Brown's Resignation The departure of Mr. Frank H. Brown, C.B.E., from his post as Deputy Minister of National Revenue, says the Globe and Mail, calls renewed attention to the deplorable confusion that ex- ists in that important department. Mr. Brown tendered his resignation last March, scarcely four months after accepting the appointment. He was prevailed upon to continue in office until a successor could be found. Now, after seven months of waiting, the Government has accepted his resignation, but his successor has not ap- peared. "Mr. Brown," says the Toronto paper, "can scarcely be criticised for leaving his department without direction. He showed commendable pati- ence in remaining as long as he did at a job which he clearly found unpleasant and it cannot be said that the Government did not have ample time to secure a replacement. But the fact that ‘he found it necessary to submit his resignation after being in office less than four months and Ottawa's inability to produce a successor suggest that departmental affairs are certainly not as they should be. The public can only wonder why. "lt is true that the task of supervising in- come tax collections — the chief duty of that past-is a big one. More names are on the Do- minion's tcx rolls now than ever before and the method of computing assessments during some of the war years was complicated in the extreme. lt is common knowledge that Income Tax officials are years behind in their examination of returns and the tremendous backlog of work that has accumulated reportedly beggars imagination. The reason for this colossal breakdown of gov- ernmental machinery, however, is less apparent when the other side of the picture is reviewed. "Offsetting the larger tax roll and more complicated calculations is the fact that the Gov- ernment has saddled Canadian employers with much of the work and most of the responsibility for tax collections. Before the war, income tax was purely an individual matter. Each taxpayer had to calculate his tax, report it and pay it per- sonally. The most intensive kind of personal sup- ervision was necessary to keep the collections coming in. But, since I941, employers have been the compulsory cashiers of the Government. "By deducting income tax at the source, Ottawa obtained, automatically, at least 90 per cont collection from the biggest group of tax- payers In the country-the wage and salary earn- ers. Employers were required to hire extra staffs and do the bookkeeping and calculating that the Government required. Ottawa saved time and trouble at the employer's expense. A great bur- don was shifted from the Income Tax branch to businessmen across Canada and, it is to be pre- sumad, a largo number of civil servants were freed from this work to handle other phases of the tax collection program. Yet the department contrnuos to get further and further behind in its work. v "This may be regarded as purely a mech- onicol problem, but such on assumption is only It is the end result of a ‘cumulative chaos arising from on unwieldy, in- equitable, lorry-built, patched-over tax structure. Tho mechanical problem will be cleared_ up only when the Government acknowledges the prime need for a complete overhauling of the system ha", Nothing loss will suffice.” It was largely due to Britain's refusal to make of Germany a "rural slum" that only 682 industries are being dismantled for reparations in the British and U. S. zones instead of more than l,600 as was originally planned. i a iv ii Annuitants have the reputation of belnj long livers, but perhaps the most outstanding case is that of Rev. Arthur Sewell of Landon, England, who has drawn an annuity from the Sun Life of Canada for 24 ycars, and now, in his 106th year is still going strong. ‘l ¥ I!

Macdonnell, M.P., Progres- sive Conservative financial critic, has been adopted for Muskoka-Parry Sound by which name his seat will be known undcr the Redistribution Act. In his acceptance, MrfMacdonnel declar- ed: "Mr. King is really not a leader-he's just a great vote-getter. He gets votes by waiting ta see which way public opinion, will jump. And like Old Man River, he just keeps drifting along." w a w w in n w Lord Beaverbraok at the age of sixty-eight has decided to retire from British political life and to spend the remainder of his years between Fredericton, N. B., and Bermuda. The announce- ment said while Lord Beaverbrook would make periodic trips to England to maintain contacl with his newspaper interests, "his place of resi- dence from now on will be Fredericton. In his retiring years he will devote most of his time to building up the university," to which he has been a generous contributor. Many a true word is spoken in jest. Lord Chorley, a Labour Peer, in proposing that Mr. Churchill's cigars be taken away in "punish- merit" for his criticism of the Attlee government was expressing the all-too-common modern at- titude that the executiire branch of goverpment, as well as the courts, may punish those who op- pose its wishes. www- Eire, which lolled in luxury during the war and immediately thereafter, now is beginning to lexpcrience some of the austerity which has characterized life in the other two-thirds of the |Disunited Kingdom.

Last December Bethnal Green Public Library issued a report which appeared in some Londcn daily papers ‘and which spoke of the destruction of millions at books by enemy action during the war, which, together with the present paper shortage has ‘made it difficult to obtain the books essential to any children's library.‘ The report was read by Toronto's Chief Librarian, Mr. C. R. Sander- son,‘ and as a result, a campaign was begun, under the auspices of the Canadian Library ‘Association, in .which every Canadian boy and ‘girl was asked to send books to Bethnal Green. Soon books were pouring in to Toronto from all ,over Canada fsom schools, social organizations and from children and adults alike. Some chil- ‘dram sent their pocket money.

In the twenty-flve-yesr period from 1920 to 1045 there were tiwen- t,-six officially reported mllk- borne epidemics in Canada, each with thirty cases or more. These twenty-six outbreaks, attributed to consumption of unpasteurized milk, accounted for 702 deaths from typhoid fever, paratyphoid, and septic sore throat. In the same per- lOCl there were numerous other lesser outbreaks of the same dis- ease and of undulant fever, also milk-borne. These minor epidemics also accounted for numerous deaths. For instance there were of- ficially reported, 1,124 cases of un- rlulant fever. an extremely difficult disease to diagnose, in the years 1940-45. Twenty-three deaths were attrlbuteg to this disease in that. 1161;100- —‘ St. Thomas Times-Jour- us . ‘ A person can agree exactly with every one at the "Security Prin- ciples" announced by the State De- partment as governing its current check of its employee and still ob- ject. to the final result. which seem- ingly is that of an American citi- zen can be tried without a jury, without e bll1 of particulars being rendered, without being given an opportunity to confront his accus- ers.

The con- stitution of Canada's government- al machinery is one thing and the constitution of lls legislative au- thority and the naiuro of its Executive Government. are other things all of which are defined. Every adult Canadian should be educated accordingly, but our edu- cational institutions make no nt- tempt to teach the fundamental principles of Canada's constitution nor the science of Federal Gav- ernment pertaining to this nation but mislead Cairaclinns to believe that this nation is constituted with the British system of govern- ment and that. the constitution of the Dominion of Canada is n. constitutional development. of the Province of Canada (Quebec and Ontario only) based on the Que- bec Act. 1774; such are the kind of "fictions" which emanate chiefly from Toronto and Ottawa and are taught in the schools of the Marltimes.
