Net Paid Circulation Aver. oe 8 ' 2 0 7 MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1948 Immediate Slump Unlikely The members of the Canadian Wholesale Grocers' Association at their recent convention, were told by Mr. B. T. Huston, editor of Canadian Grocer, that there are many signs on the horizon to indicate there is no immediate chance for any pronounced slump in prices or business generally in the next six months. Here are some of Editor Huston's reasons: Wages are more than likely to remain at their present high levels and in many industries will be higher--employ- ment is pretty well at its peak. ' Farmers are obtaining top prices for everything they have to sell, except perhaps wheat, which is likely to ad- vance in August to $2 per bushel from $1.55 at present. Refunding by Ottawa of two years' enforced savings collected during the war--total to approximate $230 millions --and the interest accumulations to about $250 millions. Capital expenditures on part of private citizens, indus- try and government to total $2,800,000,000--highest in Can- ada's history--an increase of 17% over 1947. Consummation of European Recovery Plan which may mean purchases in Canada of perhaps upwards of a billion dollars . . . and the obtaining of the much prized American dollars by means of the transactions. Development of the Leduc oil fields in Alberta at a heavy expenditure to mean retailing in Canada large sums of money that would be spent elsewhere for oil. Possibility of the British pound heing devalued on Washington's instructions and after our own dollar . . . this would increase tourist trade .... United States tourists now to be permitted to take back $400 worth of merchandise duty-free if they spend 12 days in Canada, as against $100 in the past. : ; Work of Department of Trade "and Commerce in expanding not only our export trade but world trade in general as indicated by the Geneva Agreement and the Canadian International Trade Fair. Our growing population . . . new families . , . greater economic demands. Sound Advice On a number of occasions it has been our privilege to attend sessions of the County Court at which those seeking naturalization as Canadians have appeared before the pre- siding judge. In most instances, those applying were asked a few questions relating to the type of government Canada and her provinces enjoy as well as the names of some of the heads of the government. At a recent court session in Windsor, Judge J. A. Gordon, senior county judge for the County of Essex, gave naturalization applicants a heart-to-heart talk. It is our sincere belief that such a sincere admonition will carry great weight and will have lasting and beneficial results. "Mere mouthing of the oath of allegiance isn't enough," said his honor. "The taking of the oath should be followed by true loyalty. When anyone who has been naturalized feels he can no longer give true loyalty and allegiance to Canada, he should leave the country at once for the country he prefers. "It is not by mere words that people prove their devo- tion and loyalty to their country. It is by their actions, their deeds and their conduct generally. You should not take the oath of allegiance unless you are completely pre- pared to keep it. "From now on you must give your best to Canada. You must not even think of allegiance or loyalty to any foreign power or country. You cannot serve two masters. Your heart and your loyalty cannot be in Canada and in some other part of the world at the same time. No man can be loyal to Canada if he is against our democratic way of living and our democratic form of government. I suggest anyone living in this country who is not 100 per cent. with Canada is not a good resident. His presence here would not be greatly missed and he should feel more at home in some other country. I repeat and want you always to remember: If you are not wholly with Canada, you are against her." WELDED OR RIVETED CONSTRUCTION © GENERAL CONSTRUCTION @ PLAIN STEEL SECTIONS © BUILDERS' IRON © LINTELS CENTRAL BRIDGE <i By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent OTTAWA, June 28--A calliope, one of those steam-whistle mach- ines that give off shrill music, is what they should have had in the dying days of Parliament. Mr. King gave a wild lecture to the press for "wholly unfounded and untrue" statements. It later became obvious that he wasn't lec- turing the press of Canada, but was nailing a story that appeared in his favorite Liberal organ, the Toronto Star. It was a weird per- formance, to hear the Liberal chief denounce the newspaper that has supported him throughout his poli- tical life. The Prime Minister objected to a story that there had been a "scene" between himself and his Minister of Finance, Mr. Abbott. "Anonymous and without foundation", snorted Mr. King and there was even a hint that he thought the paper's Ottawa correspondent had written a school- boyish story. Mr. Abbott had his turn. On that matter of a "budget leak." Had it been a "leak"--deliberate or other- wise--Mr. Abbott would have had to resign. And so would some of his staff. Hence he had no alternative but to deny the story. All over Parliament Hill politi- cians were busily saving face. First of all a "source" let it he known that the Government had long wanted to knock off the 25- percent excise tax. Sure enough, the "source" said, the plans were 'Miss Europe LY TIMES-GAZETTE EDITORIAL PAGE --France-Soir (Paris) all made for this.

The Ontarip delegates first let. it ! be known that they had talked tough with the Prime Minister. But finally they changed their tune. "Why, it was just 'a nice little visit," said one, "friendly conversa= tion, sort of." Let's hear that calliope blow! Throughout it all there was ome realistic politician who didn't change his mind or his tune. Be- cause he's a minister he can't be quoted by name. "Listen," he told me, and bit off a cigar, "there's going to be no tax change tonight or tomorrow or at the end of the week. Got that?" "Listen," he said, "do you think | we're going to let that Ontario gang | walk in here and put a shotgun to our head and get away with it? Do you think we're going to let six puling politicians change a whole government tax structure overnight? Ugh!" The last was un- printable.
