Phone RA. 5&29 Mr. Bennett, looking and sounding something like a Weary Titan, as- sured Mr. Mackenzie King last week that he was as anxious as anybody to bring the session to a close, and hold an election. The only considera- tion which would delay the latter was the need of revising the election lists so‘ as not to disenfranchise a lot of junior Canadians, just reaching vot- ing age. Lists will be revised by the 15th of August, it is expected. (An Election Guess) This suggests that the end of the session may not be far away. It might finish by the 2lst of June. It] a minor change in the Industrial Disputes Act. (Are Happy Days Here?) "Add them all together. Do they Spell, the Millenium? And as though they were not shaky enough as it was, along came the collapse of the N.R.A. while they were under conâ€" sideration, warning our legislators of the constitutional pitfalls when fed- eral governments start interfering matters. Then we have amendments to the Weights and Measures Act, aimed at ending short-weight, deceptive pack- aging, etc. We have lives'fock amend- ments improving present practice in regard to reports from stockyards and inspection of stock and packers’ products. We have a new Fair Wages and Hours bill which will in- sist on these conditions in any gov- ernment contract, or work done with the assistance of government sub- sidies, grants, bonuses, etc. We have These changes would have sounded much more promising if the Minister of Justice, introducing them in the House, had not admitted that in his opinion they were of doubtful val- idity, had not read opinions of em- inent counsel to the same effect. If even the minister who pilots the bills thinks they may not stand. up in the courts the persons prosecuted under these acts are certain to be sure that they will not, with the result that appeals, litigation, possible upsets in the higher courts, will almost cer- tainly accompany any effort to en- force them. Then unfair competition is to be heavily penalized. It, too, is to be- come an indictable offence, making offenders subject to imprisonment and fines. What is unfair competi- tion? That will be the rub. Howâ€" ever, competition which obviously sets out to end competition and create fmonopoly by eliminating the other competitors will be specifically laid down as unfair. (Disappointing Legislation) We shall see. But meanwhile the implementation of the royal commis- sion report has been so far disap- pointing. What with the constitution- al difficulty, the division of opinion as to the remedy, the confusion be- tween the symptoms and the causes of our economic diseases, the net re- sult is likely to fall a long way short of ending sweat-shops, the exploita- tion of the primary producer, and all the other evils we have had dinned into our ears for 15 months. Let‘s see what is lined up, so far: Teeth are being put into the Mini- mum Wage and Maximum Hours acts. Offences are â€" if the consti- tutional hurdle can be negotiated â€" to become indictable, under the Criminal Code. Employers who break these laws are now to be sub- ject to a maximum of two years im- prisonment, fines of five thousand dollars. (Heavy Penalties For Action, of a sort, is being taken. We already have five bills in parlia- ment in various stages of completion, and there are two or three more to come. But only the most optimistic and superficial observer supposes that when these are on the statute books all will be well again in the defective branches of Canadian in- chasm-y and society. Indeed, Will more than the fringe be touched? Will improvements in some depart- ments of industrial life not be offset partly at least by losses in other ways? Will the new machinery of regulation and intervention be worth its salt? Ottawa, June 4â€"-â€"We are findingcould finish even earlier. But there out how much more difficult it is to remedy economic abuses than to ex- pose them. The mass-buying in- quiry disclosed sickening conditions in Canadian industry: sweatshops, starvation wages, excessive hours, monopolies which were gouging the public and exfilpiting the priniary producer. These revelations clearly laid on the several governments con- are still 12 or 15 bills to be passed through both houses, and unless they are to be skimmed over, a fair amount of time will be necessary. An elec- tion, in view of Mr. Bennett’s remark, can hardly be expected before the 19th of August. Indeed, if one wants to guess at a date, the 19th of August is just as good as anybody else’s, with the exception of Mr. Bennett, cemed the duty of eradicating them.'who could, at a. pinch, outguess any- The federal government having taken the initiative in uncovering the abuses, and being the most powerful governing body in Canada, it is nat- urally being looked to by the people to take action. body else on this important matter.

A carry-over of 170 million bushels looms, and if a. medium- heavy crop comes along, there won’t be‘ In Canada gold is still officially valued at $20.67 an ounce, though its exchange value in Canadian currency 5 over $35 an ounce. Premier Benâ€" nett told the House last week that a bill would probably be introduced giving Council power, on proclama- tion, to re-value gold. In some quarters he was thought to have in mind the possibility that a still high» er revaluation of gold might be cons templated by the United States, or that a general world revaluation of gold so as to permit of stabilizing ex- change might soon be worked out. (Insurance Policy Loans) The House of Commons spent a. lively hour on the subject of interest on loans secured by policy-holders lfrom insurance companies. The or- liginator of the bill was the U.F.A. member for Macleod, who wanted a legal maximum of four per cent. The banking and commerce committee raised htis to five per cent. The present rate is from six to ten per cent. But a good deal of opposition developed to the amended Coote bill. One member (J. F. White of London) even argued that it would be better to make it impossible to secure loans at all rather than encourage them by lowering the rate. But Mr. Coote was warmly supported by two Com servative members, Messrs. Church and Arthurs. One point stressed was that it was the depositors own money which was loaned, and that it enjoyed ‘therefore the best security in the ‘world, better even than federal gov- ernment bondb. Sindee government loans paid only 31/2 per cent these days, why should a loan with even better security pay from eight to ten? But opposition was voiced on equally numerous grounds, E. J. Young of Weyburn suggesting that life insurance was primarily for the benefit of the beneficiaries, the wives and children, rather than the policy- holder. It was the only legacy, he. said, which could not be seized by creditors. If the loaning rate was very low, creditors might induce per-‘ sons to borrow on their policies to‘ meet their accounts, and thus secure in that way what was impossible in. any other. With John I. McFarland ordered by his physician to take things easy for George Coote, U.F.A. for Macleod, gave another illustration of what he felt was undue advantage arising out of patent monopoly. A grain cleaner used on separators in the west cost from $420 to $460. It could‘ be made in Calgary for about $200, he said, were it not for the fact that existing patents forbad its manufacture. He thought a royalty of $25 would be ample in such a case. Mr. Stevens continued his drive against monopoly and unfair trade practise with an interesting fifteen minutes in the House on the subject of patents. Some manufacturers in Canada, he said, notably those of electric light bulbs, were using the Patent Act as an auxiliary duty, in spite of the fact that they were al- ready afforded plenty of protection in the tariff. As a result they were selling bulbs _ of 100 watt power which could be imported and sold' for 28 to 35 cents a piece after paying all duties and other charges, for 55 and 60 cents each. Why don’t dealers import them then? The answer is that such shipments are banned at the border on the ground that the importation of these bulbs infringes Canadian patents, despite the fact that they have satisfied all patent requirements in the country of origin. If Mr. Stevens’ charge is right, con- sumers are paying nearly double what they should do for certain light bulbs. And these days thirty cents. is thirty cents of any man’s money. (Earnest Effort To Be Fair) The Secretary of State, piloting- the new Patent Act, promised to look inâ€" to the matter. He hoped critics would give the new bill a trial, be- cause it had been very painstakingly prepared, and aimed to be fair to all parties concerned, the inventors, the exploiters (in the good sense this time) the consuming public. elevator space in Canada to hold it alf THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO SLATS’ DIARY Fridayâ€"Joe Hix told pa. it had ben his Ambishun to be a. moddle Husâ€" ‘ bend.
