There remains the amount of $600,00 to be paid in completion of our pledge made to the Diocese in 1954. Church extension is the fund which enables new churches to be built in the Diocese, and sup- ports those unable to fully finance themselves.

The Prime Minister said that he had found an attitude of "utmost friendliness" on the part of the Pre- sident and his advisers. On Tuesday, White House sources indicated that Fresident Kennedy's visit would take place in late May or early June. At the same time, it was announ- ced that the President had sent to dolence on the death of the Prime Minister's mother.

When this was completed the House would once again revert to the estimates of the various departments, including the Department of Labour and the Unemployment Insurance Commission, Of Many Things By Ambrose Hills 'Thursday, March 2nd, Lirias ax Thad SER xed 1961 announced that he would like to take & pay cut -- provided everyone in Canada, from the Prime Minister down, did the same thing. © Though it is unlikely to huppen, the idea is intriguing, The salesman ob- '| viously thought that he would be much © 'better off if he took less pay, along with everyone else, because the re- sults wold be helpful. The first result would be a [ower- ing of prices. The largest factor in the price of virtually everything is the payroll required to produce it. The second result would be an in. crease in the sale of Canadian pro- (ducts wherever they compete with foreign products. At the moment, most foreign products are priced low- er than our own because foreign manufacturers have lower payrolls to meet and more favorable tax rates. The third result, the salesman fig- ured, would be more jobs. If Cana- dian merchandise began to win back foreign markets 'and regain the do- mestic market, business would hum again and everyone would be able to get a job. The salesman, apparently, was able to outline a host of other benefits. The pensioners would find that their dollars would keep them in reasonable comfort instead of, as now, in mere subsistence, The 'government, of course, would benefit too--because more of us would be "paying income taxes, the unem- ployment insurance fund would be se- cure again, and there would be a re- newed confidence and vitality in the entire economic structure. Today, some of us are taking cuts whether we want to or not. The pro- cess the salesman talks about is tak. = ing place wherever individuals are un- able to hold monopoly power. Labor union leaders are able to get increases for the men at work, but the unem- ployed become more numerous and suffer more. Farmers are taking a cut; writers, as I know full well, are taking a cut; business, in many cases, is not only taking a cut--it is suffer- ing disastrous losses. The govern- ment, however, is not forced to take a cut because it is able to practice deficit financing, but all of us will have to pay for the deficits sooner or later. The flaw in the salesman's argu- ment is that there are monopolies, and the labor union leaders control one of the biggest monopolies of all. They WAGE CUT FOR ALL? Recently, a newspaper editor wrote about an odd conversation he over- heard in a coffee shop. According to the account, a commercial traveller do not have to take a cut; they may even demfind and get increased wage rates--until everything falls to the ground like a house of cards! Then they will blame it all on government or on business.
