n Drew Leads Fight Against Sales Tax Over Provinces Will Split County, Lower Standards Government Told Ottawa, April 26--(CP)--George Drew has lined up his Progressive Conservative Party against a move to allow the provinces to collect a sales tax of up to three per cent. He told the Commons yesterday that parliament should refuse to endorse a provincial sales tax, which some prov- inces say they need if they are to participate in a national scheme of contributory old-age pensions for Canadians of 70 and over. The provincial governments now are considering constitutional amendments, which must be ap- proved by parliament, to open the way for a contributory pensions pen and an indirect provincial sales tax to finance provincial con- tributions. Mr. Drew, declaring his oppo- sition to the proposal as the budget debate moved to a close, said a sales-tax amendment would represent a serious threat to the living standards of the people and to the constitution and serve only to divide the country, His declaration drew no comment from Finance Minister Abbott, who followed him into the debate to defend his budget against Progres- sive Conservative criticism and as- sert that greater production is the key to the defeat of inflation. PC Motion Defeated A few moments later, the Cham- ber voted 147 to 56 against a Pro- gressive Conservative budgetary tax increases would "in- evitably increase the cost of living for all and especially for those least able to bear it." 'The House now embarks on a de- tailed study of the resolutions giv- ing legal effect to the tax changes. Mr, Abbott said that every Canadian, in the existing cir- cumstances, should consider whether he is justified in asking for shorter hours. To keep up production, no one should con- . template working less hard than he now is working. Defending his budget, he said he felt it was "a fair one." He had tried to spread the burden as evenly as possible. To opposition demands for im- mediate price controls, he reiterated she government's view that price eontrols would not be effective at' this time. Increased production was the way to bring down the high cost of living. He denied opposition suggestions at he had deliberately under-es- jimated his budget surpluses. He ad tried always to make an ac- curate estimate but other govern- ments had found that they were outr on their estimates. Says Tax 'Vicious' Mr. Drew, describing the sales tax as "vicious," suggested that a pro- vincial levy could be used as a bar- rier to trade between provinces. It could be applied against goods en- tering a province and not against goods manufactured in that pro- vince. At the same time, he urged Mr. Abbott to repeal the budgetary in- crease in the general sales taxsto 10 per cent for eight per cent and reiterated his demand for "flexible" | controls to bring living costs down. The budget did nothing to re- duce the cost of living or to eombat inflation. The govern- ment merely had aggravated the problem with an inflationary budget. "I think, he said, "the situation has reached a point where some | non-confi- | dence motion which claimed the | ® L 4 Catholics Reminded Can't Be Socialist nesday of the warning by Pope Catholic and at the same time a true Socialist." The warning, in the questions and answers section of the Vatican city weekly, came as campaigning began for coming administrative elections. in about two-thirds of the nation's provinces. The warning is from the encycli- cal "Quadragesimo Anno," issued 20 years ago by the predecessor of the present Pope to recall attention to the encyclical "Rerum Novarum" od Pope Leo XIII--a basic docu- ment in the Catholic Church's at- tifude on labor and social reform. other devices ought to be used to control inflation." Mr. Drew said he hoped there would be no delay in getting | through the amendment that would allow the federal government to inaugurate a system under which pensions of $40 a month would be paid to all 70 and over regardless of means, The control of inflation was part of the struggle throughout the world against Communism. The government had aggravated the problem with an inflationary budget. | He charged Mr. Abbott with | underestimating his budgetary sur- pluses and said that if the govern- ment was following a program of debt retirement it should outline that program in the budget. Wants Immigration He reiterated a demand - for "flexible" controls to bring down living costs. Increased production would help beat inflation, but to obtain increased production there should be increased immigration, The government was not seriously tackling the question of immigra- tion. Donald Smith (L--Queens-Shel- burne) endorsed the proposed St. Lawrence seaway and power devel- opment but suggested it be self- liquidating. « He said that those who used the power available from the undertaking should pay for its development while those who used the seaway locks should pay tolls, He did not agree with other | Maritime members that the project interests.

Shorter movements would benefit ! less, while many would not be af- fected at all by the railways' offer to limit the size of increases on eight basic commodities. The ceiling system was proposed by the railways this week in con- junction with a request to the Board of Transport Commissioners for a 15-per-cent increase in rates. The limitations would apply on the shipment of livestock, lumber, pulp- wood, fuelwood, fresh apples, sand, | gravel and stone. Under this method--already in use in the United States and r ly r ded by the Royal Commission on Transpor- tation -- the increases on the eight commedities would not be permitted to exceed certain ceilings, regardless of how far the articles were hauled. Here is how it would work out on some of the major commodities in- cluded in the plan: Livestock: The ceiling increase on cattle would be nine cents per 100 pounds. In the West, where the av- erage haul is 261 miles, the 15-per- cent increase would be seven cents on top of the existing rate of 47 cents. Thus, the increase would re- | main under the ceiling. In the East, the average haul is 200 miles, car- rying a rate of 37 cents. The six- cent increase also' would be unaf- fected by the ceiling. However, on a longer haul such as that from Cal- gary to Toronto, the rate of $1.81 would carry a 15-per-cent increase of 27 cents. The ceiling would lim- it this to nine cents, cutting down the increase by 19 cents.

The plan called for a 1,500-man U.S. mission to work with Nationalists on Formosa, in prepavation for invasion of the Red-held hainland; collaboration with the Nationalists in seizure of Hainan Island; a 'sea-air blockade of the Red China coast; bombing of strategic targets in Man- churia; an air drop supplying Chinese Nationalist guerrillas on the mainland, and use of a Nationalist "force" .in Korea.
