JAMES. Editor 'A National Spirit Needed to Bring About Canadian Unity To what extent have we disunity in Can- ada today, and why? How can we dispel the mis- understandings that divide us as we seek a common goal? These are questions frequently asked by responsibie people for grave uncer- tainty grips us now in a worid of chaos. We know that unity at home is a prime ingredient for unity among the United Nations. Without unity wc cannot achieve a lasting peace. How then shali wc put our awn biouse in order? It can be said at once that ail but a dis- sident minority of our total population wish to become real Canadians in every sense of the word. Out of two great wars We have won the favorable attention of the entire werld. We hold a foremost place in world commerce. We are heard with respect in the councils of the United Nations. We have a common national purpose and genuine concern for the weifare of ail other peoples. Why should wc quarrel at home? Let us take a short, broad, direct view of the Canadian scene as it impinges upon the question of Canadian unity. The disunity that exists revoives about three main factors, popu- lation, geography and poiitics. Our population is made up cf French, Anglo-Saxon and those we ungencrousiy tcrm "foreign." Our geo- graphy introduces economic inequalities. 'Pol- itics now intrude twe apposing ideologies. Dis- seption is inherent in ail three. How can we remove it? That is the probiem of Canadian unity. Racial and reiigious prejudice ameng pop.. ulation groups has long been with us. It is stili fanned by recaicitrant bigots seeking pres- tige and profit in disunity. For political ends the same prejudice was playcd upon during two great wars. These disruptive influences can be removed only by widespread public eniight- enment so laid as completeiy to discredit al forms cf subversive prepaganda. Real truth wiii iead te final understanding. .Geographicaiiy we have a case, cf "have" and "have-net" regioris in which geveral pro- vinces fali into an unfavo.rable econoniic posi- tion.. Here again., peiitics have played a raie quite- detrimental to Canadian unity. The re- moval of dissention in this respect Is net at al formidable. Agreement can be reached suc- ccssfully eniy under. a gcnerai Dominion-Pro- vincial Conference and unity maintained oniy by annual conferences cf the same character. Paiitically we are in the midst cf leftist propaganda that definitely seeks te divide'ciass agamnst ciass and overthraw a system cf gov- crnment under which Canada has risen te greatncss. 'This is by far the most serieus thrcat te Canadian unity and ta, the freedom cof the Canadian people. Here again. truth is the oniy weapen ta restare unity. Free enterprise must take the lead ta upheid aur free way cf lite. Two recent inspirational decisions have been taken in the direction of Canadian unity. The Cltizenship Act permits al cf us, ne matter cf what race, caler or crccd, te be known through- out the glabe as "Canadians." And we are te have a cammon national flag. These things are Important. They bring us dloser together. They trend definiteiy te a better understanding. After ail we are not tea widely dividcd. The difficuities enumerated can be gzreatly dis- emphasizing to farmers the hazards existing because of carelessness in the use of machinery, the dealers stress that evcry week shauld be regarded as 'Safety Week.' It Is peinted eut that every year scores of farmers are painfuiiy In- jured and frequently others are killed through reglect ta observe ordinary precautiens or dis- pensing with the usne cf protection such as ahields for power take-oifs and chains. Dealiers are aise, aware et the lois occasion- ed farmers each year by ires. They emphasizo the wisdern cf preventing tires by periodie checking cf electrical wiring. hcating systems and other likeiy places where tires cauid arigin- ate. Likewlse stressed is the value et cleaning up buildings and grounds, not only from the standpoint et botter appearance and more effi- cient farmlng, but aise because untidy premises invite bath tires and accidents. The derniers thraugh their pubUicity in cannectien with 1,Satety Week" 'vili point eut that "accidents do net happen-they are caused." Friendahlp and Service la,. Lite of Country Editor A few weeks age. we expressed regret and a bit of envy on thc retirement of a centem- porary in the field of weekly jaurnalism. Our friend was for 20 years a natcd editer in the metropelitan f ield. Fer the past decade he has fulfilled a lifelang ambition as publisher and editor cf a leading wcckly newspaper. In a recent letter he stated a tew things. which ferm rich experience, set forth a view that dispelis aur occasional giaom, "Is thc job werth while?" We can namne a dozen or more city people who duning the past year have sought aur advice about buying a rural weekly. New we can answer them with confidence. Here is what aur letter taid us: "It has been fun getting out a weekly paper. I quit it with sincere regret. The past ten years have been the happiest et my lite. One can rcally sec what he has been able te accomplish in a small tewn. In a big city an editor just keeps knocking his skull agaihst a stone wail. But in a rural cem- munity anc can realiy do something worth- whilc. The friendships anc makes arc grand. I love the country people, they are se genuinely tricndly. Here is the hcart ot Canada whcre co-operation and unlty are the realities ai lufe." Atter 50 years in the newspaper field our correspondent turns te twe other ambitions: "To write a book or two in the time left over trom promoting an historical museum te pre- serve the records et his cemmunity." Such has been the friendship and service in the lite of anc country editor. We trust that what we have told wiii serve twe purposes: To inspire other country editors in the degree it bas in- spired us; te give te readers an abiding thought that the institution of the home tewn weckly is a factor et high purpose and reai achievement in any community. Ita truc mission is one et Service. Farmers Must File Income Tax Returns or Else In magistrate's court in Bowrnanville last week, a local farmer was fined $50 and costs for failure te file by the datç specifled, the incarne tax ferms ordered ta be filled in by the income tax division. He had been fined $25 prcviously over, the same forms, and erdered to complete them by a certain date. Ris twern testimony was that he had sccurcd assistance ta complete the forms and had 'niaiied them betore the seccand charge was laid. But evident- iy the letter %~as sent te the wrong address. The magistrate advised.hirn te take ail his accounts and go to the tax office in Toronto and get the matter straightencd eut. It appeared clear that he owed no amount whatever as incarne tax and probably feit that it was uselcss te take time off te report ne liability. It is likely many mare tarmers take thc same vicw. But there is the law. Threugh a horde of civil servants Ottawa reaches eut te the back concessions ta make farmers tee the line. But farmers have noted many cases wherc the govcrnment has failed te enfance the law in labor strikes. When Uic goernmcnt Itself disregards the law why*should farmers rmake cmpty returns te contorma with the statutes? No case can be made fer brcaking the law. But a case can be made in insisting that a less camplicated procedure be laid down in deter- mining the iiability of farmers under the incarne tax sctup. A simple, sworn declaration of non- iiability betore a local officiai eught te suttice. But there is the law. A farmer can'be fined $25 a day atter failure te report by a set date. Farmers are now getting a close-up of what they rnay expcct in intensified form under a socialist government. Fer social security mca- sures are at the ret t fail this business ot fiiling eut useless incorne tax forms. It bas been mnade clear that they must be filled eut. Foreign Trade Drive Showlng a Practical Approach The Dcpartrnent of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, is at last showing signs ot instituting a practicai approach in capturing averseas mar- kets. A recent bulletin states that Hon. J. A. McKinnon wili heati a Canadian delegation ot Çanadian businessmen an a trip te South Atnica in September te taik straight business in in- creasing Uic volume ef trade between the two countries. Personiýe1 Includes R. C. Berkinshaw, Vice President and General Maniffger, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and President, Canadian Manutacturers Association, aise the presidents et Canadian Car andi Poundry, a food praducts campany, a steve company and other manufac- turers. The Minister expiained that the trip is bcing made at the invitation of the South African government. It is aur expenience that indus- trial leaders don't wait to receive Invitations but get out activcly in "cold-turkey" selling campaigns in cempetition with ethers. Lcng betare war ciosed The Statesman suggested a development alcng these Unes ta push eut inte cvery potential werld market and get business, irrespective of any international agreements on a warld scale but in contormity with fair trade practices. At that the .Soujth-Atnican mission la soundly ccnstitutcd. Canada already bas a wide network ai trade agents thraugheut the globe but in most cases they have net the business background pessessed by the business leaders accompanying the Min- ister. Hence missions cf this character will greatly help our accredited trade agents in ex- panding our vitally needed experts. Getting eutside business is basically the same as drum- Yhing up business at home. It is heped the Canadian Manufacturers' Association will press turther this teamwork in thc expert field with- out waiting fer an invitation from Ottawa or autaldo countries. We may look forward con- fidsntly fer geed resuits trom this South Atri- can venture; then follow it up. Editorlal Notes Time waits an no man but bas an accamn- modating way cf checking up eccasienally, while the seed pod ai reminiscence spreuts bencath the warm, rich humus of a fellow's nmemary. -. -Irvin S. Cobb ARTICLE Si Te understand the controversy over Dominion-Provincial financial arrangements it is nçcessary to take irnto account aur federal system eof goernment. Under the Britosh North Amnerica Act respansibilities were divided bctween Dominion and pro- vincial jurisdictions. In some cases these are nbt clearly defined. In tic course ai time thcy have led te many disagreements. TAX FIELDS RENTED Taxing power is limitcd in the case cf the provinces, uniimited ln the case cf thc Dominion. There is ne tax field in which thc Dominion cannet eperate, but the previnces are limited to direct taxation. During the war the Dominion rcnted provin- cial rights ln the fields of incame, corporation and succession taxes under agreement ta restore Uic status whcn victory was won. SYSTEM EXTENDE» Now, under Bill 411, the government sought legislative authority te continue this rentai arrangement for a period cf five years. It lays Uic basis for the provinces ta agree to accept ceom- pensation in lieu et giving up rights et taxation ln these fields. In other werds the Dominion will collect, then pay mcney ta the provinces which they may spend as they sec fit. This principle has been deciarcd unsound by high political authorities. BRACKEN QUOTES For instance, John Brackcn, leader of the Progressive Conservative opposition, spcaking an the terms et the bill, raised the question cf the wisdom af a poiicy under which one gev- ernment raised the moncy and gave it te another gevernment te spend. Beyond bare fiscal need there would enter the human factor of spending unnecessarily from funds having the nature of a gift. He quoted a noted authority on government in this case. MR. KING'S OPINION In Hansard, Fcb. 21, 1929, P.316, Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King said: "I believe that everyone who has given any attention te public finance will agree that it is a thoroughiy vi- cious system te have one body raise taxes and another body ex- pend the money thus secured. You wiil net get that careful supervision which the provinces would effect if they raised the n-oney themselves." VICIOUS SYSTEM Mr. King centinued: "It is a bad system, a thoroughiy vicicus system and that is why the present gevernmcnt has been seeking te put an end te a system that grew up at a time when thc country was in the throes of war or to meet a post-war situa- tien, a system thoroughiy destructive of anything in the shape cf cconomy in the expenditure of the people's money."1 WRONG PRINCIPLE Almost the same words were used by Mr. King in the Heuse on April 3, 1930, as reported in Hansard, P.1237. "Any- one interested in financing, whethcr municipality, province or Dominion, will admit it is an unwise, a wreng principle for one body te raise money for another te spend and that other body net having te account te the representatives et those who have pald the taxes."

Engraving, Geldleafing Monumento, Gravemuarkru Canadian Demand For Food in Future In the ycars te corne, the aver- age Canadian will demand more dairy products, meats, eggs, fruits and vegetables in his diet. The consumption et cereals may be lcss. But dcmand from abroad will favor Canadian-produced cen- cals rather than animal products. This view ot the shape et things te came was recentiy prescnted te the Canadian Feed Manufacturers' Association by J. G. Taggart, Chairman, Agricuitural Prices Support Board. Re cxpressed Uic view that the leng-term trend et our civilization is bound te be toward increasing industrializatien. "Theretere, I believe that our farmers should expect te continue te produce and seli in Canada increasing quanti- ties of animai products," he said. Then, turning te the tdture for- cign demand for food, Mr. Taggart pointcd eut that the ceat et pra- ducing animai preducts in North Arnerica has risen far above the increased cest cf producing cer- cals. "On the whoie," he said, "I be- ieve that the Canadian farmer has a great competitive advantagc ever the Europcan farmer in the production of cereals. On the other hand, he may be at an actu- ah disadvantage, or at any rate, nearer te equaiity with the Eure- pen farmer in producing animal products. This suggests te me.", he said, "that if and when trade is restored, Europeans rnay find Can- adian cereals much more econem- ical te buy than aur animal pro- ducts." istrate G. C.
