Canada is future THE GUARDIAN OFFICES 3663512CAlCARY tZJZw Victtoi90y john 3 nil out tefeoMdlwS saar- While Paper Continued rial Purpose for Canada is merely for tools particular problem at each particular Later in the same chapter he Indeed the o Tsetung and helcro- Aeain in the same chapter he wrote Federal ism must be welcomed as a valuable tool which permits dynamic parties lo plant socialist govern ments in certain provinces from which the seed radicalism can slowly spread When one considers the White Paper proposals in conjunction with the recently enacted Estates Tax Act and the writings of Mr literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians real reason lo be alarmed and concerned There is no Canadians are concerned because many of the proposals and the document itself if enacted and combined the Estates Tax Act would make Canada a socialist stale The wonder of Ihe entire thing is that thousands seriously attempting lo put together the socialist can be defeated is to have every member of Parliament in Ottawa regardless of party realize final analysis the middle Canadians will masse against their representatives who support these proposals The governments massive publicity campaign is attempt to convince ihe voters that opposition to White Paper means opposition lo tax reform the first big lie of the entire campaign Everyone is in favour of tax reform reform The White Paper is not tax not recognize all of ihe taxes Canadian Edgar Benson on a speaking platform you hi a classic study in urbanity There he casually gesturing with his pipe his large face in a smile of BigDaddy benignity and cadences you find yourself thinking that anyone as obviously unruffled as he is must be right when he says there has been some hysteria in the critical reaction to his white his composure by his appearance of good-na- lured forgiveness of his critics lie communicates the image of the great statesman deftly fielding the slings and arrows of irresponsibility mischief and hysteria All will be well in Canada if we just lei Ed Benson been lulled and is infinitely less assuring So is that of his leader one of Canadas most magnetic living presences Prime Minister Pierre Elliot ftifer all they are the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance When they tell thoughtful ake a mental giant to figure find thoughtful and live The fellow who rebukes the Minister in a polite uncertain whisper the fellow who turns aside easily the fellow who well in short the fellow whom Ed Benson can handle with a reassuring smile The rest of us are not so easily turned aside We are not reassured by a Minister of Finance who asks us to consider a white paper so full of holes that he himself Mr Benson promises of withdrawal a of parts of his proposals which are obviously unworkable The fact is we are worried about Mr Benson Because it is beginning to look as if there are only two alternatives lo explain his actions either he doesnt really know what hes doing or he doesnt really mean what hes saying r critical they mean what they say And ably they expect to get critical pre- And these could be nim flammed withoi loud and clear and unmistakable Did Mr Benson tell us Thank you Canada thats what we wanted to know and now its back to the drawing boards intend to be an line of administrators Whos said ivhat about taxes The authors of the White Paper admit that sales a heavy burden to Canadians in all incial and municip earing on the federal governments and i The legitimate needs of our other levels of govern ment are being ignored as Ottawa seeks increase its power with a larger pool of money The second big lie of the governments publicity campaign is that people who oppose the While Paper are either extremists or hysterical The plain truth is that hundreds of thousands of Canadians are con cerned and upset because they see this for what it is a socialist document In short they have come to the conclusion that if it looks like a duck walks like
