GREENE THE LIBERAL 01:0 Richmond Hill 00) IN Tl and However, the opinion along Parlia- ment Hill right now is that a comâ€" promise may be reached between the two schools of thought on the sub- ject of Canada’s national defense pol- icy, with the Government’s spending- a slightly higher, larger amount for this purpOSe in the next fiscal year; particularly for civil and military aviation. gas masks, anti-aircraft guns, and .the creation of manufac-‘ turing resources for industrial mole ilization in any emergency. (Reprm ductions Prohibited, Educational Fea- tures Syndicate.) “Peace conferences," said the late Will Rogers,” are meetings of states: men where they agree to scrap ev- erything that they won't need in the next war.” This seems to be the mental attitude of those Canadians who favour an extensive defence pro: gramme. They hold that it would be impOSSible for Canada to remain neutral when Britain is at war. and they state that Canada must con- tribute her proportional share in the common defence plans of the Com-‘ monwealth since the Motherland has been maintaining naval and military forces to guard our many coasts, to protect our shipping and foreign trade, and to fully guarantee our legal status and freedom amongst the nations of the world, without Can- ada paying one dollar towards this huge cost that experts estimate should be more than $150,000,000 for a five years period. Out of an‘ av- erage total revenue'of about $500,- 000,000 Canada plans to spent about $37,000,000 a year for defence in the next few years and this is a very low figure when compared with the tremendous expenditures of other n~a~ tions of the same size, such as Aus- tralia with a sum of $57,500,000 a year or the United States where it is more than 15 per cent of the total expenditure of the Government: These figures are proportionally higher than that of Canada's cast. ' You never realize how old you eeeni to your friends till Santa Claus begins bringing you half-a-dozen pair of bedroom slippers. You don’t need a good memory to write history. In his autobiography, the historian Gibbon said he could- n’t remember a single unworthy act. There is a growing oppOSition a- gainst any policy that involves a large expenditure for. re-armament purposrs, particularly if the plan en- tails the nationalization of the muni- tions industry except in the case of actual warfare. thOugh everyone seems to favour the strict limitation of private profit. It is held that the Munroe Doctrine would force the United States to frustrate an inva~ sion of Canada and that O'ttawa' could arrange a defence treaty with the powerful neighbour below the line, pointing out that this young country can use these millions of do]- lars to 'build up industries, to make better highways, to carry out impor- tant public works, to help the vic- tims of unemployment, and other- wise to improve conditions in this country. It is obvious that there is a very strong desire that Canada should‘ not be committed to engage in another war since Canadians are still paying for the last World‘ War that for five years cost an average of $300,000,000 and'30,000 men a year. .There are many serious problems facing the legislators, such as un- employment relief and insurance. railway fi/nances, exccssive taxation; tariff and trade difficulties, commis- sion reports, and a budget which can-' not be balanced because the revenues- are not rising in proportion to the (business recovery and heavy losses are being incurred by the fixed\ price for wheat, the operation of the na- tional railway system and the in- creased cost for national defense. It is this controversial issue of defcnse which is of paramount public and political importance since it is feared that it will raise many troublesome sectional problems which will be em- barrassing in view of the possibility that this may be the last session be-‘ fore a general election. “server can detect a tense Ieenng in the Capital and whispered con; cersations indicate that responsible Quarters along Parliament Hill be- cve that the coming session of the eighteenth Parliament of Canada is certain to be characterized by a long and‘ bitter battle because the legisA lators will be confronted with the most solemn decisions in the history of this young country and upon which depends the liberty, prosperity and‘ security of every inhabitant from the Arctic to the forty-fifth parallel and from Nova Scotia to British Coâ€" lumbia, including all classes from the humlblest taxpayer to the capi- talis‘ts. ehind the Headlines OTTAWA Lions Carnival Thursday, Jan. 26. ‘hough the newspaper headlines )t disclose it, every cxperienced ver can deiect a tense feeling 1e Capital and whispered conâ€"' tions indicate that responsible (By Dean Wilson) he commg ses Parliament of e characterize battle because ibe confrontm n decisions in g country and 3 liberty, pros every inha‘bi THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HI‘LL, ONTARIO ament Hill be session of th t of Canada i the legis; i with the the history upon which Mrs. Telgmann-, an elocutionist now residing in Thornhill will give sev- eral readings.
