nT [ome * fiscal year, : me OUR CAPITAL CORRESPONDENT Written Expressly for The Oshawa Times-Gazette, Trenton Courier Advocate and Cobourg Sentinel- By M. L. SCHWARTZ Ottawa, June 25--With the annual budget being discussed by everyone in Ottawa from the lowly taxpayers who feel that they should not be even liable to such taxation to so- _ealled "big business" which wants mare indusgments to Ey twar plans, it is now an - on fact along Parliament Hill that higher taxation in general than an- ticipated or desired will have to continue for a time, a' least, until conditions become more settled both in Canada and abroad It must be emphasised, and em- phasized strongly, that failure to agree on the part of Dominion- Provincial Governments may some day lead to the creation of two dis- tinct taxation structures or sets of taxation which might not prove popular with many Canadians in a practical sense outside of other pos- sible complications arising from such conditions, But this point is not the whole story by any means nor does it account for the rather slow process of gradual return to peacetime 'budgets. There are a number of what well-informed ob- servers are inclined to call "uncon- trollable" conditions affecting the economy of the Federal Govern- ment at this time and these, more than anything else, explain the de- tails of the budgetary decisions in certain lines or directions. The Federal Government is faced with a situation now which causes certain normal increases to be af- fected throughout its expenditures and this is reflected in the main estimates for the current fiscal year of 1046'1947, stressing in no un- certain way that return to peace- time economy in Canada will have to be rather slower than most Can- adians seem to realize, though the actual fighting has been ended for such a long time now. The total estimates for the year asked for $2,769,815 for ordinary and demobi- lization and reconversion expendi- tures as compared with $4,650,540,- 645 for main war and demobilization in 1945-1946, with the ordinary ex- penditures for the current year showing an increase of no less than $207,963,000 over the ordinary costs of 1945-1946. This increase is ac- counted for primarily by various items totalling $104,162,000 which were attributed, directly or indirect= ly, to the we", and then there was an additional $60,000,000 to provide for the "Baby Bonus" or Family Allowance payment for a full year as against only part of t. > previous The increased items attributed to the war included an advance of $91,122,000 in interest on the public debt and other debt charges and $13,040,000 increase in expenditures on veterans affairs, in- cluding the Veterans' Land Act. In the statement of the Federal Government on these estimates it is pointed out in Ottawa that '"cer=- tain normal increases are included throughout the estimates to provide only for urgently necessary admin- istrative and operating expenses, maintenance projects deferred dur- ing the war years, intensifying certain scientific investigations and research and the continued orderly xpansion of -our commercial and relations at home and abroad." Th is also stated that "re- ductions haVe. been affected when- ever possible, bub, after six years of restriction on normal peacetime ex- penditures, many deferred mainten- ance obligations are unavoidable." * b> It isirevealed in Ottawa that the Wartime Prices and Trade Board spent between Jan. 1, 1945 and May 15, 1946, the following on advertis- ing: retail, wholesale and special food bulletins, $111,476; consumers' news, $46,508; booklets, $29,235; magazines, $29,922; newspapers, $621,567; radio, $368,621; films, $97,- 843; other media, $42,135 and pro- duction, $135,438, LA ON J "The last word I should like to say is that as far as one can judge. what will go further than anything else in helping to meet present world conditions is increased pro- duction and more effective distribu- tion," said in part Premier King in Parliai. cnt. "There is the prospect of a good harvest, but in some areas it has been impossible thus far to find any means whereby large num- bers who should be employed can be given work, because of lack of transportation for fuel, food and the like".

'Louis - St, Laurent in discussing the measure to amend the British North America Act with respect to read- justment of the representation in the House of Commons. "This veto business is something which is proving very difficult in the as- sembly of the United Nations, and if this assembly of the represent- atives of the Canadian people we can down it forever we shall be performing a service to the Cana- dian nation." It is reported in Ottawa that the average wages of male farm help per day as at May 15, 1946, with board was $2.73 in 1044, $3.04 in 1945, and $3.25 in 1946 and such average wages per month was $61.88, $66.88 and $71.36 in 1944, 1945 and 1946 respectively. In reply to the request for in- formation as to how many Alberta coal mine operators have sought financial ald from Federal Govern- ment agencies in order to increase production, Reconstruction Minis- ter Howe has disclosed in Ottawa that the number of coal mine oper= ators in Alberta who have or who still are receiving financial aid is Tl and there are nine in British Columbia. "No financial assistance has been refused to any coal mine operator where in the opinion of the emergency coal production board or coal control such assist- ance would have aided the overall situation," he said. "My family and I planned so happily to make our first visit to Canada immediately after the war, and, when the word came to us last July that we were being sent to than just learning a few words of the other's language, whether it is French or English," declared Chief Justice Thibaudeau Rinfret of the Supreme Court of Canada in the course of a talk in this capital. "It may say it is a deplorable thing that there should be among us a lack of unity when all admit that it is of the highest importance".... "A thorough medical checkup is essential because criminality is a disease of the mind which must be treated separately," explained in Ottawa Hon. Mr. Justice J, Archam- bault i nan address on the Borstal system for delinquents amongst boys and girls. ..."The approach of the church to the question of bev- erage alcohol has been too emo- tional and fanatical," said in this capital Rev. Albert Johnson, educa= tional secretary of the Ontario Temperance Federation. "It must be scientific." . In regard to the widespread claims about nail shortages in Can- ada, It is stated In Ottawa that this is not due to production faults since i is now at the highest peak with between 103,000 and 105,000 100- pound kegs rolling off production lines every month. The shortages are blamed here on the building boom alone....J.
