'1he representatives of the people of Canada rea1.ze mat this country had entered ths war with an eco- nomic structure which had been bad- 1y weakened by years and years of war against depression, failing to bring business recovery or to banish unemployment after a vigorous drive on the four interâ€"related fronts of low cost housng, self-liquidating public works», nonâ€"revenue producing projects and cheap loans to munici- palities. They realize that modern war means clearly and distinctly a contest of economic values. They realize that Canada’s economic life depends on her ability to retain her place as the world’s fifth largest trading nation and the fourth largest exporting country, ranking behind only Great Britain, United States and Germany, on the basis of the amount of exports and imports which Last year Were $970,000,000 and $710,000,000 respectively, leaving a favourable balance of trade of $260,- 000,000 but the steadily darkening foreign trade picture implies for Canada a grave economic reversal in 1940 on account of recent inter national developments, of the narâ€" rowing of foreign trade markets due to the disastrous breaks in trade routes, and of Britain’s and the rest of the Commonwealth’s drastic econ- omies and “payâ€"asâ€"you-go” policy in this war. Still, they realize that Canada must pay in the first year of this war $1,000,000 a day in addi- tion to $500,000,000 a year for usual operating expenses, though the last or most costly year of the World War of 1914-1918 involved expendi- tures of only $576,000,000, being $248,000,000 in 1915, $339,000,000 in ’1916, and $498,000,000 in 1917. DRAMATIC KEYNOTE OF NEW WAR SESSION Despite the grave, bitter and un- compromising attitude of silence in authenticated sources in the nerve center of Canada, Ottawa, on the basic reasons for certain vital acâ€" tions affecting the present and fu- ture existence of every man, woman and child in this country as revealâ€" ed in the Government’s programme in the first regular wartime session of Parliament, this strictly impar- tial and veteran observer along Par- liament Hill can detect through po- litical contacts of 10ng experience behind the scenes in the lobbies and elsewhere the crucial reasons for this drama excitement and suspense such as the ancient capital of Can» ada has not witnessed in many years, with the hint that much history- making news and sensational sur- prises will result from the Govern- ment's forceful and dynamic pro- gramme of war not only against the Germanic allies but of war against economic depression. In fact, the Government's domestic programme, as Parliament Hill understands it, will rival in interest for the man in the street the foreign or military issues of the present time. serious conditions, how do the legis- lators in Ottawa propose to prose-I cute this war? I According to extremely well-in- formed sources, the Government’s programme will involve seven car-', dinal points. .First, the programmei will avoid the bad mistakes made in the last World War when no one in Canada had the slightest conception in 1914 of the calls that would be made on Canadian manpower, indus- try and finance, with the result that there was a failure to realize that the financial methods of peacetime. were totally unsuitable or inadequatel for the peculiar economic problems. of war-time. Second, all projects will be singularly free from the taint of the pork-barrel and no employâ€" ment or favouritism will go to the politically faithful in this life-and- death struggle, using public monies only for essential works, such- as those of an engineering necessity to combat the drought, for self-liquidat- ing projects, tourists purposes, har- bour improvements, repairs of old buildings instead of constructing new structures, grade crossings, etc. Third, money will be spent before it is borrowed in the sense of the British economist, Dr. J. M. Keynes, a divorce should be granted for cruelty, desertion, insanity and cer- tain criminal convictions as well as 'nfidelity, [but this Bill was defeat- ed. It is alleged that demands for divorce are continually increasing. 'In 1914 there were only 7'0 divorces in all Canada, but right after the 'WOrld War it started to rise rapidly, ")eing no less than 1,000 in 1934 and "caching the record figure of 2,022 has-t year. Under the present laws, it is charged that many divorces are stimulated or obtained rby collusion. CANADIAN CENSUS IN 1941 In face of all reports to the con- trary, reliable quarters in the capi- vtal believe that the Canadian census vIwill :be taken in 1941 as usual and the war will not interfere with the Census Branch. 'SH‘IP PROGRAMME TO BE EXTENDED Taking into account all kinds of ships, naval and merchant, authorâ€" -ities hold that Canadian shipping yards will receive orders of at least $50,000,000 since the ruthless Ger- man war at sea is expected to cause regular losses of tonnage and the British ship-building yards are al- ready working to their fullest capa- city. Therefore, under these admittedly serious conditions, how do the legis- lators in Ottawa propOSe t‘o prose- cute this war? dinal points. .First, the programme will avoid the bad mistakes made in the last: World War when no one in Canada had the slightest conception WWOMOMW Ottawa Week by Week By Dean Wilson based on the theory that if such a policy is followed, it will raise the national income and savings without inflation. Fourth, in addition to in- creased taxation, there may be a supplementary system of compulsory loans which will apply to all classes on a sliding scale, creating deferred purchasing power for the post-war period, when Canada's economic sys tem will need badly such a stimulus. Fifth, Canada will carry on this war on a “pay-as-you-go” policy, aided by the Foreign Exchange Control Board to prevent the exportation oi capital or dissipation of foreign ex- change and by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board to prevent any un- necessary increases in commodity prices. Sixth, the authorities will regulate industry by gradual stages. though they will proceed slowly in regimentation methods so that there will be no radical interference with normal activities. Seventh, the new Parliament will be asked to scrutin- ize all war outlays, probably through the Public Accounts Committee, like- ly following the British Parliament- ary method at Westminster where it is an, active body usually headed 'by an Opposition memlber, though in Canada this Committee is constitut- ed each year without doing any- thring, making one'enquiry during the past 10 years, namely, the in- Vestig‘ation of the Bren Gun order. In other words, Uhatever is done 'now will ‘be carried out with the object of avoiding the vicious inflaâ€" tionary spiral of continually increas- ing wages and prices, sizes of war debts, levels of taxation, rates of in- terest, etc., all of which character- ized the last World War and all of which were the main causes of the postwar economic dislocations or the decade or more of relative in- dustrial depression erperienced in 'Canada. These are the real “in-side” motives for the actions on Parlia- ‘menit Hill now where the authori- ties are determined to discover more effective and less disruptive methods of financing this war and) yet at the same time they are shunning as far as possible any suggestions of totali- rtanian methods. Though the small arms ammuni- uion plants owned by the Canadian Government were only able to turn out less than 3,000,000 rounds a year just a short time ago, it has been Learned on Parliament Hill that to: day they have a production capacity of 460,000,000 roun-ds‘ a year or they 'AIMIMU N ITIrON PRODUCTION ‘RLSIN‘G RAPIDLY we capable to produce in two weeks what required a year :before this war started. '41VIOlRICE CAUSES JAY BE REVISED It appears in legislative circles in Ottawa that another attempt may be made soon to revise and widen the grounds for a Canadian divorce which now can only be obtained for infidelity. In the last Parlia- ment the MoMeansi Bill proposed that Rev. G. O. Lighthoum, rector of Trinity Anglican church, Aurora, an- nounced during last Sunday’s ser- vices that he was leaving this week to take over his new duties as chap- lain to the Toronto R.C.A.F. Mr. Lighthourn served‘ as an obâ€" server in the Royal Air Force dur- ing the last war anda had 'been on the reserve officers’ list. He has been rector of Trinity Church for the past 10 years. Besides his church work, he has taken a keen interest in community affairs. He is vice-president of the York County Musical Festival and a member of the Co-operative society. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Sunday Storm Causes Damage In the District A severe electrical storm accOm-l panied Ly wind and rain Visited the district Sunday evening about 6 ,o‘- clock. Most damage was done by wind which proved a “twister” such as old timers talk about. Extensive damage was done over a large area with some small sections being hard- est hit. An area about a mile wide in the neighbourhood of the King‘ .Vaughan townline was particularly heavy hit. The steel roof of Clay- ton Beynon’s Ibarn on the townline was completely tOrn off, and barns on the farms of Miss Ethel Shep- pnrd, D. Goulding and T. Gamible were badly damaged. Trees were uprooted, signs torn off, and poles toppled over .by the fury of the storm and one of the great 300 foot masts of OFRB was crumpled to the ground a twisted mass of steel. Oth- er damage included the roof of Nel- son Thompson’s 60 foot hog pen, the roof of George Thompson’s barn, silos down at Morris Beynon’s and Joseph Levison’sty the silo at De La Salle farms, and a windmill at Lorne CluJbine’s. Stories are told of heavy animals being lifted completely off the ground and carried several feet. Throughout Markham Township sev- eral barns were damaged or lblown down and east in the Myrtle district severe damage was done to build- ings of all kinds. It was one of the worst storms experienced in the dis- trict in some years and Hydro and telephone crews had a busy time re- pairing the damage. Not Necessary to Rush Season in Your Garden Fortunately in Canada we have long hours of sunlight in spring and summer. Because we are so bless- ed, and the further north we live the more daylight we get at this season of the year, it really does not matter if our garden. goes in late. Once growth really starts it quickly overcomes any delayed start. Beginners in this recreation of gardening are advised to have patience. There is no need for rush- ing in fact there are very good rea- sons against such a course. Real growth‘ with most flowers and vegetables does not get under way until the weather and soil \be- gin to warm. There are some ex- ceptions of course. Lettuce, spinach, peas both sweet and garden, nurs- ery stock, such as shrulbbery, fruit trees, etc., all these cool weather things should be planted just as soon as the soil can ‘be worked safely, and safely in this case, means when it will crumble not pack into a ball and is no longer muddy. To dig it before this stage is reached is dangerous and useless. For the medium hardy type of plant however there is no advantage whatever in sowing too soon. There is little growth in any case until the soil really turns warm. MAKE THESE SOWINGS Sometimes tree roots work up toâ€" wards the surface of the Lawn simp- ly because there is water there and, none beneath. Hea'vy watering of lawns once a week rather than light daily sprinkles will prevent this dan- ger and will also be best for the lawn itself. Gardeners are advised to divide their seed into at Least three parts sowing a third as soon as, weather permits, a third a little later and the balance at the very tailâ€"end of the planting season. In this way if frost does cut down the first batch there will be more plants coming on and the season will |be lengthened \by the last part of the garden sown. LAWN HINTS Frequent watering plus regular applications of good lawn fertilizer will keep grass, 9. rich‘ dark green and growing fast enough to crowd out the weeds. Patch-es of the lat- ter in old lawns are usually a sure sign that soil is wearing out and needs fertilizing. In hot weather grass should not be cut as short nor as often as in the spring and fall. Perennial fl‘owers add a feeling of permanence to any garden. Com- ing year after year they maintain interest throughout the dormant months and because of their quick start they usually bloom ahead of annuals. While solid perennial beds are very popular another satisfac- tory plan is to have a few of these plants scattered about the garden for early bloom and to fill in be- FOR PERMANENCE tween the annuals Selection will depend upon in what part of Canada the reader. lives». Throughout most of the country however the following brief list will prove reasonable hardy: delphinium, peony, oriental poppy, phlox, Eng- lish primrose, English daisy, and Violas.
