One is the fact that these bills are all of a kind——they are downright meas- ures to continue the special wartime taxes from which we were promised relief at the earliest possible moment. They are being continued now without a shred of justification except the in- ability of government bureaucrats to cut their olpandltures. That these taxes were to have been dis- continued after the war was revealed in a strik- ing manner in the Legislature by Mr. Heath Strong, in the case of the deletion of three little words from the long preamble to Bill I7, which provides for the aforementioned "licensing or registration" of corporations and individuals on a retroactive basis. The preamble to the Act passed in I942 limits the life of the statute to . "the duration of the war or until the termina- tion of said Agreement"—that is, the wartime tax agreement between the Dominion and the Province. Bill l7, copied from the I942 Act, omits the words‘ "of the war" and reads, rather nonsonoically, "for the duration or until the term- ination of the said Agreement." There are no little dots or asterisks to indicate any omission, and it was only discovered by a careful com- parison with the original Act. Need anyone ask why this was done so surreptitiously? Evidently those who drafted the bill did not wish the taxpayers to be reminded that this was strictly a wartime measure. The some applies to the extra corporation and pro- vinciol gasoline taxes which have been imposed; they are all emergency taxes intended for war purposes, improperly continued as normal peace- time taxes and even extended in scope as in the caso of Mr. Hughes‘ "catch-all" amendment to tiio Registration Bill. ' Other Provinces, lt has been argued, are adopting the some tactics, oll following Ot- tawa's greedy example and basing their im- positions largely on bills drafted by Federal Gov- ornment bureaucrats. Nowhere does there seem any prospect of relief-unless our Provincial Treasurer has something up his sleeve in the Budget ho is scheduled to bring before the Leg- islature today. Perhaps he has something really good in store; something in accord.with the Throne Speech promise to reduce instead of in- crease taxation. Mr. Hughes is not an eloquent speaker-he rather prides himself on his ability to say little-but if he can "produce the goods" on this occasion in tho form of a big fat tax Induction or two, he will be the most popular man from East Point to West Cape. Post-War lloliulldlng In a bulletin entitled "A Glimpse of Post- War. Europe," Mr. John H. F. Turner, superin- fondant of the Foreign Department of the Bunk of Montreal gives a graphic account of the chaos created by the war. In his concluding paragraphs he says: "ln all the Continental countries, excepting Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, the task of rebuilding and re-equipping plants and factories, ‘Ilblllldllig homes, and placing railway transpor- tation facilities on anything like a pre-war basis will be arduous and costly. Long term Iobns and credits will be required and already some have been forthcoming. Given freedom from threat of further war or acts of aggression and equal opportunities to participate in world trade, they should prove worthy of the confi- dence placed in them by extension of credit and assistance. "Tho bankers’ lot in these war-ridden lands has been and continues to be a strenuous one- destruction of premises, reduced staffs result- ing from call-ups for active service, difficult living conditions and malnutrition, with increas- ed volume of work in many departments due in part to returns and reports required under war- time controls. However, oll now ore enor- gotically endeavouring to reattain their pre- War stride, although still severely handicapped by a number of the foregoing problems which can be solved or surmounted only gradually. "We in Canada, so much more fortunate, should endeavour to comprehend the fearful experiences of our banking friends abroad in those war years. For instance in England o bank officer would perform his Home Guard duties well into the night; spend a goodly por- tion of_ what might be left of if in on air raid shelter, spend hours journeying to and from the office in overcrowded conveyances travelling in complete blackout; then would work all day long to tlia tune of aircraft passing overhead, both friorid and foe, the near and distant explosions of bombs and the ever attendant heart-rend- ing foar, ‘Did one fall near home?’ These par- ticular experiences may not have boon the lof of bankors on tho- Continent apart from Germany, oxcopt infrequent and isolated occasions, yet their dailylife was attended by varying hard- ships and, in all too many cases, real physical suffering-lack of heating, food and clothing and the constant fear of what the Germans might do next. While circumstances of war and enemy occupation had for-reaching effect on fin- onco and banking in general, one is informed that the occupctlon authorities interfered to a vory minor degree in the day-to-day functions and operations of tho banks; nevertheless, some I h pgaoaatioos taken by bonkers to salo- l quard customers‘ interests were fantastic in their ingenuity. Assets of great value were moved under the very noses of the Germans, sometimes with their unwitting assistance. Tre- c‘ us risks were token, such as providing payemnts to underground workers and strikers and financing escaped prisoners and intern- ees. "Bank offices were closed during the war only when premises were made untenantable by bombing or ot'lier acts of destruction. However, many services were drastically curtailed with the practical eliminatipn of international trade, ex- change and stock and bond trading. In banks, as in other business activities, workers in most o.‘ the occupied countries were encouraged, and oven taught, to go slowly; to do as little as pos- sible and take as long as possible to do it. Otherwise, if on office, plant or store showed evidence of being overstuffed, there was real danqer of a certain number of employees being drawn therefrom and drafted into other labour or perhaps deported to Germany. It will be ap- preciated that it is not easy to change back to pre-war tempo after such experiences and con- rlitions. "Continental European banks as a whole are now severely handicapped for adequate stcff, both in numbers and experience, and with resumption of international trade and in- creased volume of business generally it is virtu- ally impossible to provide a standard of service measuring up to pro-war traditions. Various methods and steps are being energetically ex- plored to improve this situation. "Particular mention is mode of the esteem and affection of the Dutch people for Canada but this is by no means confined to The Neth- erlands. All Europe—in fact the world—hos been profoundly impressed by Canada's wartime performance in placing such fighting forces of men and women in the field and in its gener- osity in coming to the aid of the needy and less fortunate near and for. Likewise Canada is ad- mired for her effective action in holding the price line, in combating inflation and the wis- dom shown in devising and administering equit- able distribution methods. It is indeed an envi- able reputation, but what a responsibility to en- sure that we maintain it in our international relations and in the quality of the goods and services we supply for the markets of the world! lr. this respect Canada is confronted with Ia challenge which cannot be ,minimized, a na- tional duty for all Canadians to shoulder." .— EDITORIAL NOTES n That irrepressible ex-Speoker from King's Mr. Hessian, lets "the cat out of the bag" with reference to the proposed deal for a fourth Su- preme Court judgeship. Evidently it is not so much the legal interests of the Islanders that are at stake, but the personal interests of the politicians. Q o i i " According to Mr. H. P. Hartley, Supeyjn. tendent of the Maritime Insurance Commis- sion, the Province is the most prosperous in the Maritimes. We have much less unemployment, and the prospects for employment much great- er, including the $4,000,000 terminal construc- tion job at Borden, besides much other construc- tloti work. This apart, too, from the demand, steadily growing, for help on the farms. Every- thing indicates an era of expanding prosperity on the lsland, including the extensive develop- ment of our tourist traffic. N i i i Apropos "Bachelor vs. Spinster" controversy this from a London daily correspondence col- umn may prove interesting: "ln my middle for- ties I find myself a homeless bachelor because I was a wanderer in my youth. How I envy those ‘with home, wife and children. As o youth I des- pised those who looked for safe jobs. Off I went to Australia, Canada and the U. S. A. Home again after all these years I see those I despised endowed with the coveted things I lack. The wanderer may find prosperity but without a wife it" isn't worth much.—L. H. J., King's Langley Herts." I i i I The American Civil War began this date 186i with the capture of Fort Sunter by the secessionists. Lincoln immediately proclaimed the blockade of the Confederate ports (a deed which alienated foreign powers, especially Brit- ain which depended on the south for cotton) and sent General McCl-ellan with his army south who recovered West Virginia, but a series of success- -ive reverses culminated at Bull Run in July, and at the close of I862, McClellan was directed to resign. Aft-er Gettysburg, the Confederate cause foiled, and when Grant became Com- mander in Chief, the North had it practically all their own way till the Southern President, Jefferson Davis was captured in Georgia, in May I865. i 1' * a That milk from contented cows has extra nutritive as well as advertising value has been demonstrated in experiments conducted under the auspices of New York State.
