In commenting upon the upward trend shown by construction statistics, Mr. Hungerford said: "It is most encouraging to find in annual reâ€" ports and statistics that the entire conâ€" struction industry in Canada has reâ€" gained something of its formtr activity.

It was proper, they said, that the Board of Trade should speak plainly and not mince matters. "Rememiber," saig Mr. Murdoch, "it is the soâ€"called rich man or the energeâ€" tic, ambitious, rising young mnman who develops our resources or creates new industries and thus new employment. Without encouragement to this class of citizen, how can we prosper and pay our debts? "What encouragement are these builders of Canada being given by our Covernment leaders? Is not all incenâ€" tive being strangled by a continuously rising trend of taxation, including inâ€" creasing succession duties, and by poâ€" litical interference in business rather than businessâ€"like management of govâ€" ernment? "Could we blame these constructive builders if they should decide to reâ€" tire from active participation in busiâ€" ness and even leave the country, as some have already done, and spend the remainder of their lives with their wives and families free, or much more free of business worries than if they continued doing their part in building up Canada?" The "present tendency to soak the rich" was strongly condemned hy James Â¥YÂ¥. Murdoch, KC., retiring president of the Toronto Board of T:radso, at the annual meeting at Toronto on Monâ€" day. It was only human, the speake: tinued, to feel resentful when authority took away from a man than he felt should be taken, anc wasteq it. Mr. Murdoch argued that if the railâ€" way problem were left to independent. experienced men with absolute freedom from political influence, the people of Canada would soon begin to feel some relief from this serious burden. "As to unemployment reliefâ€" what real constructive step is being taksn by our governments?" he asked.
