FOUR Authorized as second class matter It would be a terrible thing to call Mr. Drew inconsistent : man who is straying from the facts, if it weren‘t true. Bu things of which Mr. Drew has been accusing the Dominion ernment he too has been guilty. It is merely Mr. Drew‘s way of getting something to say and if anyone else uses the language which Mr. DPrew uses to attack the federal government they are promptly repremanded. It shows that the government doesn‘t place much weight to the words of Mr Drew. It was Mr. Drew‘s highâ€"handed method of "reasoning"‘ wWhIi( broke up the Dominionâ€"provincial meetings of which he found much to say. He has called the federal government a "robber" of provincial rights and says that they have been giving grants with strings. He calls these grants "sops" and asks the federal government to reâ€" turn the taxing powers to the provinces. And they shouldn‘t. . Mr. Drew has shown himself to bethe b promiser that ever was in Ontario, He made 22 of them and 1 ver tpkeone. All the time he was in Ontario he was dodging { issues and now he shows that when he is in the federal arena he also dodging issues. His attack of the agricultural setâ€"up in England is a saimple of this attitude of his. He picked the only industry in England which been socialized and wasn‘t likely to be. He also picked an industry which is able to come out at the end of the year with as large a produce price as the whole of Canada. . .Two billion dollars. Mr. Drew will no doubt go down in Canadian history with the tag of the "Great Promiser‘" attached. In the speech from from the throne was contained mention of the that the federal government was going to extend the Emerâ€" gency Gold Mining Assistance Act which was adopted in 1947 so that it applies to some of the marginal mines which failed to beneâ€" lit under the terms of the act as originally worded. British Columbia in a provincial measure which is to be submitâ€" ted is expected to stimulate gold mining. The Vancouver stock market rallied considerably just on the strength of the promise conâ€" tanied in the speech from the throne. The government is sympathetic to the industry and under the Emergency Gold Mining Assistance act ‘last year the government tucked into the pockets of gold ming companies the total sum of 10 million dollars. Showing their generosity to this offspring of their desperate need for gold for trade with United States the federal government has decided to include other mines which failed to reâ€" ceive any assistance under the original act, and they will get relief under this year‘s amendments. The Frovince fo Ontario should take a hint from Britfish Columâ€" bia and step in to assist the goid mines. As the largest producers are in Ontario and the province benefits directly from the mines, surely they could plow kack in some of the money which they have been so gladly taking from the municipalities. They could do this in the form of larger grants to the mining municipa ities which do much to keep the mines supplied with workmen of all kinds, and other services for which they are not compensated by mining lands taxes. w The reason for the federal government‘s concern over the gold mining industry is plain to those concerned in the industry. Costs of production have mounted to a degree which makes the mining of gold for small mines a small profit business. The price of gold is pegged by the government in an agreement with the International Monetary Fund therefore if the government still needs gold it must see to it that the industry is subsidized enough to keop the wages of the workers at a decent level. The inabliity of the gold mines to sell their product on the {ree market which is offering $80 and $80 an ounce instead of the $35 an cunce which the Dominion government is paying, places this indusâ€" try in a class by itself. While other industries see their costs mounting they have also been able to jack up their price to the reâ€" tailer. This in turn brought up their profits and often the se ling price exceeded their costs by so much that they have been able to make two and three profits. Since gold mining is of national consideration and the governâ€" ment has nailed the price to the floor they necessarily have to proâ€" vide some compensation for the sacrifices. which the industry has made for the common good. h The subsidy is not the answer in the estimation oi ment mining men who would like to see many more ned up.. The subsidy is merely a temporary stopâ€"ga; minion canrot continue to subsidize the industr;y which would ke to the industry‘s determent. We have contended again and again that the South Africa is the best yet.
