A. G. L. McNaugh- ton, He said: ER SJ "We must realize not only that continents now are within craft and rocket missile range of one an- other, but that they have become the geograp! units in which most questions of defence must be stated. Effective arrangements. for the refence of the territory of one nation have become a matter of vital concern to all other nations of that continent." The former commander of the 1st Canadian Army maintained that the first provision for the protection of North America lay in developing international co-operation. But until the United Nations "can ef- fectively assume the task of main- taining world 'peace and security, the continued production and fur ther improvement of all weapons is vital to the prevention of aggres- sion against us by making impos- sible any likelihood of success." Disputes: ANevied draft of am- endments to the Industrial Disputes Inquiry Act is nearing completion and is likely to go to the provinces shortly for their comments. Amendment of the ID.I.A. has been advanced by the Federal Labor Department as the answer to de- mands for a uniform federal labor code. The present code, introduced under the provision of wartime emergency power, will expire early next year. At a recent conference with provincial labor ministers the Dominion proposed tha tthe pre- war LD.I.A, should be amended and should stand as model legislation which the provinces right adopt if they saw fit. . LI IK . As. a result of those discussions the Dominion has revised ideas it had in mind for bringing the ID.IA. up to date and the opinion of the provinces--as well as of labor and management organizations -- will be sought on these changes. The wartime labor code gave the Dominion authority over all wer in- dustries and provided for compul- sory collective bargaining, requiring an employer to negotiate "in good faith" with unions which had the support of a majority of his em- ployees. eo A Bible Thought "Most people need their religion the heart."--D.

Comes The Dawn Early this year when Hon, J. L. Ilsley announced there would be a reduction in the income tax levy tens of thou- sands of Canadian taxpayers heaved a sigh of relief and be- gan to lay plans for what they would do with the extra money they would receive. These same taxpayers will receive a shock when they get their pay envelopes for the first pay after January 1 next. The deduction for income tax will be greater, not less, in most cases. Though this situation was forecast in Mr. Ilsley's budget last June there will be many who will fail to see how this jibes with his recent statements about a ten to 15 per cent. decrease in income taxes. What really will occur is that all parents with children under 16 years of age will receive family allowances provided they have applied for them. This means that the family in the long run will be money in pocket. The fact that the wife will get the family allowance cheques may lead in some instances to family squabbles as the husband will be getting less in his pay envelope. How- ever, the husband is responsible for the keep of 'the children and would have to turn money over tb his wife for this pur- pose. However, it may not have been in the amounts she will get in family allowances so there will have to be adjustments in the allocation of family budgets.

W, Wilson who wrote o 3560 page book entitled 'The R ) ance of The Calendar) said of it "To orderly minds its boas- ted symmetry can never be whol- ly unattractive," but Mr, Wilson after reciting the advantages of eadar with equal quarters and half years, and equal working months pointed out a :ecial ad- vantage that the World Calendar of 12 months would have over a 13 months calendar by stating that the former "has the advan- tage over any other proposed re- vision of enabling us to keep the dates that we have without ma- terial change." Mr. Wilson then states: -- "There is a final consideration which affects and indeed trans- cends all others. Can we not say that there is a real chance that the World Calendar will be adop- ted? It does not arouse opposi- tion by insistence on theocratic formula, Tt allays opposition by recognition of actual infl ences that affect the proposals."
