PAGE FOUR At a time when national attention has been so recently focussed upon the financing of our war effort and hundreds of thousands of Canadians in every walk of life have invested in their‘ country‘s bonds it is not amiss to review one of the planks in the platform of the C.C.F. party. .In this plank the C.C.F. proposes that "the present loan policy should be replaced by one of compulsory interestâ€"free loans imposed on the accumulated wealth of rich individuals and corporations and based on ability to contribute." 1 ! W n e y .c d h c B is is Jt ies h t sn t ._ Disregard for the moment the very important fact that such indiâ€" viduals and corporations are now subject to extremely high taxes. Many also have been puying Victory Bonds to their full capacity. I1 is doubtful as to whether compulsory loans could raise much more money from this source and certainly not enough nearly to pay for our current war expenditures. Whether or not that means that ALL Canadians would be compelled to bpy bonds according to their theoretical capacity, every holder of a Victory Bond would be adversely affected. \ ‘That would be so because on even the threat that bond purchases would be made compulsory or interestâ€"free the bottom would drop out of the bond market. Canadian credit would be besmirched not ohnly at home but abroad where many millions of dollars of Canadian secu{ities are still held. Canada as a nation would be in the same plight as the Province of Alberta which has not honoured its full obligations for several years. The man in the street who bought his Victory Bond in the full belief that it represented the highest security that his country had to offer and who carries insurance backed by this same security would be left holding the bag. No sane person would build a house out of lumber that was rotten. No more can this country have a sol.m*Q financial policy if that policy is built out of the unsound planks of th t C.C.F. platform.

"And this is not my opinion alone. It is the opinion of all those peoâ€" ple who have visited me since it was announced the auditorium would be closed to hockey this winter. Personally," he went on, "I feel embarrassed when I go outside Kitchener and people ask me about our hockey activities To them it is unthinkable that a city which has produced the "cream" of the professional crop throughout the years, is now without any kind of a hockey auditorium. + ‘"Unfortunately," he repeated, "nothing can be done for the duraâ€" tion of the war but if a committee is formed now and gives considerâ€" ation to the plan, we can have a fine auditorium immediately after the war is over."

Scrap iron and steel is becoming one of the most vital of war maâ€" terials, so much so that there are severe penalties for any citizen holding more than 500 pounds in his possession without a special permit. The prosecution of this salvage drive will be placed in the hands of the road patrolmen who will reâ€" ceive their instructions forthwith. The public is urged to coâ€"operate with the officials in every way possible, as a patriotic duty. _ _ Moved by Edmund Schwindt and George Mattusch, that the folâ€" lowing accounts be passed and that the reeve grant his orders for the same: J.

As ratepayers we resent this attempt at dictatorship by him, and we will not let him go on without opposition No, "we shall fight on and on till the end" â€"â€" of him. To the Taxpayers of Waterloo: 50c x 80 x 2 x 50 weeks â€" $4,000.00 worth of music lessons in one year (at no cost) â€" besides the band concerts enjoyed by thousands â€" besides the 40 adult bandsmen who give of their talent and services â€" besides the internationa! fame of Waterloo as a band centreâ€" and please remember all this has gone on for many, many years. Is he to have the right to destroy all this â€" without you having YOUR say ? Furthermore, the Executive of the Waterloo Musical Society has publicly stated at the last two Council meetings, and through the press, that they would only use such part of the $3,000.00 actually needed to He realizes that your votes will be overwhelmingly "Yes" and his motive can only be that he is carrying a personal grudge. Is not the fate of the Waterloo Band above personal considerations? Is it not silly to talk about $75,000 over a period of 25 years? The Waterloo Band has been in existence for 61 years, so why does he not figure on a basis of 50 years â€" 75 years or even 100 years. It would be just as silly. The answer is clearâ€" that he is exaggerating the grant figure in a cheap attempt to bewilder the ratepayers. @ Why does he seek a "straw" vote under conditions that cannot guarantee an honest result, and attempt to prevent you, BY LEGAL PROCEEDING from voting at the election, which would give an honest result. He knows he cannot upset a DEMOCRATIC vote. Why doesn‘t he tell you that part of the band service to the town is to train about 80 youths to play instruments. Each boy receives an average of two lessons a week. Figure that out at 50 cents a lesson. RAYMOND Do you know that Raymond wrote to the Municipal World in 1941 asking for information as to how the Band Grant could be stopped? What could his object have been but to prevent the Band from obtaining a municipal grant and thus putting them out of business? Yet he has defihitely stated to Council and in his ads that he is in favour of a band. What is this? Inconsistency" wHY SHOULD HE DO THIS? wHY DOES HE SPEND PERSONAL FUNDs IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE BAND BYâ€"LAW? Why does he personally try to use the Courts to prevent YOU from having YOUR say at the polls?
