In the acceptance of the federal nominaâ€" tion by Colonel Frank McCordick, who before the war commanded the Tenth Battery and made the name of that battery outstanding in Canada for its peace time efficiency, the nominee is showing loyalty to his Liberal faith, handed down to him by his grandfathâ€" er, the late W.

To facilitate this, e Liberal Government has set up the Export Credit Insurance Act to do two tllx)ings: (1*)) to insure Canadian exporters against loss, and 32) to make loans to foreign governments under contract to Canadian exporters. B Credit for Enterprise The Liberal Government set up the Industrial Development Bank to provide money at low interest for long terms to help enterprising Canadians to develop new business. Another step towards creating full employment. @2 Foreign Trade Liberal objective: Sixty percent increase in value over Canada‘s preâ€"war export trade. This means thousands of jobs, and is based on the number of jobs create& by Canada‘s normal export trade. 1 Reconstruction Plans for jobs for 900,000 more workers than in 1939; and 66,000 more each year as the gopulation grows.

There is certainly that to be admired and emulated in the old party system. The choice of J. Vernon Buchanan, @ former Mayor of Ingersoll, for the provincial house and former beverage room inspector for this district can only be regarded as a matter of expediency. Mr. Buchanan is a fine man of good talent, an old political war horse, an admirer of "Mitch" from "taw." He has a fine platform personality and is a fluent speaker of long experience with Ontario audiences. But he faces the handicap against Hon. Charles Daley of being virtually unâ€" known in this big constituency. It is a far greater handicap than the C.C.F. nominee, Dr. MacLean, faces. + In all events, there will be triple contests in Lincoln County for the Legislature and the House of Commons. Well, with the double campaign to last a month or a little over, it surely cannot be too boring. We can all hope that the example will deter others. But history is not greatly enâ€" couraging. She has seen the story reâ€"enactâ€" *ted many times. It is even possible to believe that I1 Duce‘s saner senses told him such an end was likely, and he risked it anyway.

And as for justice, millions must be feel« ing less than completely satisfied.

T1 Better Labour Conditions In coâ€"operation with organized Labour, the Liberal Government has confirmed collective bargaining, provided unemployment insurance, appointed labour retfiresentatives on governâ€" ment boards. (More than 600,000 workers, beâ€" cause of the Liberal Government‘s attitude towards Labour and the labour movement, now get annual vacations with pay.) 12 10 Floor Prices under Fish and Farm Products To protect farmers and fishermen and to mainâ€" tain prices, the Liberal Government has proâ€" videdp floor prices under their products.

The men who wrought this holocaust must pay. But they cannot revoke the wrongs they have done. A better concept of justice will seek to prevent the"injustices, to awaken a keener sense of compassion in the world so that we shall not wait until gangsters can be stopped only by war. LOW SCHOOL TEACHER SALARIES Should schoolâ€"teacher salaries be inâ€" creased? asks The Financial Post. After the war, when the wage and salary ceiling can be abandoned, we think school teacher salaries should be raised to a level where this profession holds and attracts the really.â€"good people for carrying on the imâ€" mensely important task of preparing the next generation of Canadian citizens. No facts has been so powerful in making a large part of the teaching profession an imâ€" portant arm of Canadian socialism as the niggardly and shortsighted policies of thousâ€" ands of Canadian school boards. cently : ‘"We can‘t yet estimate what the underpaid Saskatchewan teacher will ultimately cost that province and the country at large.

(c) Heads of families with incomes in excess of $3,000 will retain their full income tax credits for children if they do not receive Family Allowances. These taxpayers may, however, apply for Family Allowances to protect themselves against a possible decrease in income at a later date which might bring them into a lower income range where they would benefit from Family Allowances. In such cases if the income remains in excess of $3,000, the income tax credits for childâ€" ren would be reduced by the full amount of Family Allowances received. SCALE OF MONTHLY ALLOWANCES .

As far as is possible, to take care of the adjustments necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, current income tax deductions at the source will be adjusted to take into account the new situation when Family Allowance payâ€" ments commence. This will avoid placing an awkward burden on the taxpayers at the end of the year. Family Allowances are also additional to dependents‘ allowances for servicemen‘s families and military pensions. * Special attention is drawn to the fact that the income ranges used in the table above refer to texable income, and any amounts received as Family Allowances should not therefore be included in calculating income for this purpose because Family Allowances are »ot taxable. In all cases, those who apply for and are eligible to receive Family Allowances will receive them in full, month by month. See scale below: : For children registered after July 1st, 1945, Family Allowances will be paid as from the month following the month when registration is made. Family Allowances are not paid retroactively. THE following announcement will help to clarify the relationship between Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for dependent children. Family Allowances are payable from July 1st, 1945, and the registration of children is now taking place. The Family Allowances Act was designed to help equalize opportunities for all children, and when the Act was passed, Parliament approved the prinâ€" ciple that there should be no duplication of benefits by way of Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for the same child. An amendment to the ome War T?zfi(: will be made to deal with this lication.

The teaching staff totals around 75,8300. Students naturally carry away with them a good deal of the likes, dislikes, points of view and prejudices of the teachers. To an important degree, then, what teachers think today, the mass of Canadians think tomorrow.

"Remember that the schoolboys and girls of 1933 were voters in 1944.

It is natural that parents in the low income groups will be expected to receive maximum benefits from Family Allowances. Partial benefits will be received, however, by parents with incomes up to $3,000. The table below shows the effect of the adjustâ€" ments which the Government has decided to make.
