Having predicted a de- pression and mass unemp‘oyment it sometimes appears that ".‘hey are hoping- that condition will come. They make every effort to diseourag'e the hope for world peace and world trade. By continuous tail: of dis- aster and depression they hope to create that condition by shaking- the confidence of our people. It is an insidious and sinister campaign that we must guard ourselves against. Few dispute that our prosperity is based on our production of goods and services which, it is estimated, will be more than twelve billion dol- lars this yearâ€"higher than the peak of wartime production. Our debts to other countries are 35% lower than before the war and in 1046 our sales to the world were greater than our purchases. Can this high level of production and sales â€" which means a high level of employment be maintained. Informed observers claim that Canadian purchasing pow- er and a large part of the big ex- pansion of industry can continue only if our sales to other countries is maintained. If this is correct it is clear that the interest Canadians have been takingin the Mascow cun- D’scussion on the budget and the budget speech delivered by Finance Minister Abbott still predominates in Ottawa circles. The outstanding feature of the discussions is an at- tempt to see behind the scene of Canada’s economic and political wel- fare for information on which to base a forecast of the future. All agree thatCanada is more prosper- ous than at any other time and that her prosperity reaches a largci; pro- portion of her people than ever be- foIQ. The question in many minds.- Is our prosperity so soundly based as to g‘iVe a reasonable guarantee that it will last? .26 Years Experience fork County, legridge and Picker- ing Townships Farm Stock and Furniture Sale: a Specialty Telephone Stouffville 7312 Other Relief Will Came There were of course some disap- pointments; the budget did not con- tain all the tax relief measures we hoped for, but these will come some othev day. loss, and indirect taxation is far more costly to lower income. ‘ The government chose to follow the course which would be of great est good to the greatest number Ky l‘eViSing the schedule of rates. This procedure has the effect of making more progreSSive Canada’s tax struc- ture. Under a progressive system of taxation the share of the total tax burden borne by the various in- come groups is determined by abilâ€" ity to pay. However, Mr. Abbott did not forget that it is cssontial for everyone to remember that what comes out of the government's p0cl<< et is put in there by the taxpayers. With exemptions remaining at th same levels but with tax rates rc- duccd, the majority of Canadians will still be conscious of contribut- ing‘ to the upkeep and welfare of the country. notwithstanding that the actual tax collected from a person with an income just above the ex- emption limit will be small indeed. The Abbott budget showed a great tax reduction which will be heartily welcomed by the people of Canada, and it reported not only the largest surplus in the history of Canada.but a surplus greater than the total of all surpluses reported since Confedâ€" eration.

MacRae, Chief, Tobacco Division, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. This new way of consuming tobacco was natur- ally taken to Spain, and from there it made slow progress to neighbor- ing countries.' But cigarettes did not gain any real recognition until af- ter the Crimean war in 1856. The soldiers took to using this new form, because it was much easier and less expensive to “roll your own”. They brought it back to their. various countries where once again there was opposition, particularly in Germany, but the opposition this time was not against the use of tobacco but lay in the competitive popular cigar. In England, cigarettes became the fashion rapidly, especially following: the use of better grades of paper and tobacco. From England, conâ€" trary to the other forms of tobacco, the cigarette went to North Amer- ica. Today, the tobacco industry, in- cluding the production of leaf and manufacture of tobacco products, has become one of Canada’s greatest achievements and’ a considerable proportion of the tobacco used for making cigarettes in Britain is im- ported- from Canada.
