THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1940 PAGE THREE Opposition Says Taxes, Tariffs Inadequat - C.CF. Leader Compulsory Int Loan for War Proposes erest-Free Effort -~ Conservatives Will Support Measures Though Critical--New Democracy Backs C.CF. By CARL REINKE Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Dec. 5--(CP)--<The "in- adequacy" of the govkrnment"s emergency tax and tariff proposals is being criticized by Oppesition leaders in the House of Commons-- not the new burdens thus imposed on the pecple of Canada. The people, recognizing the nec- essities of the .situation, are pre- pared for greater sacrifices than thoee involved in the tax measures announced this week, the govern- ment: was told yesterday, but the people want those sacrifices distri- buted fairly. : To emphasize that stand, M. J. Coldwell, acting House leader for the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, introduced an amend- ment proposing a compulsory, inter est-free war Joan "to be levied ac- cording to ability to subscribe." If New Zealand tould do that, Canada certainly could, he sfid. Mr. Coldwell and Conservative House Leader Hanson endorsed the principle of the government's stiff- ening tax policy, although both had criticisms to make of details. John Blackmore, New Democracy leader, | reiterated his group's stand for con- scription of finance but agreed to support the Coldwell amendment becruse it was intended to provide interest-free money. Safeguards Criticized Both Mr. Hanson and Mr. Cold- well questioned the adequacy of the government's safeguards against price rises under the protection of the new jmport prohibitions and re- strictions. Mr. Hanson submitted the new measures were insufficient to main- tain a necessary equilibrium in Can- ada's exchange relationship with the United4States, in view of con- tinuous heavy purchases of war | supplies there. | These measures, he suggested, | might pe only the "first dose" but | he believed" the reaction throughout | the country had been good. | Because Canada had increased | her purchases from the United | States to such a large degree, he | proposed that the government should ask the United States to re- view its trace pact with Canada so Canadian exports to the United States might be increased to facili* tate payment for war supplies. Mr. Hanson said he was willing to make "any sacrifices" to help Britain win the war but he asked whether the government had con- sidered, in admitting British cot- tons free, what the effect would be on Canadian textile mills such as the ones in his riding. He question- ed what the ultimate effect of free | admission. of British bituminous coal vould be on Nova Scotia's coal industry. He said he had toyed with the idea of suggesting that British, American and Canadian currencies be tied together in some way simi- lar to that between British and French currencies before the fall of France. However, he believed that Canada should preserve its fiscal independence. Rejects Theory 3 "Therefore I reject that theory and suggest to the minister.that if I have made the suggestion, he ought not even to toy with it," he: said , a He did believe, however, that Canada should begin negotiations for loans from the United States-- even though Canada's economic ex- istence might be in jeopardy at the end of the war through debt owed to the United States. Mr. Coldwell declared that the re- laxing of tariffs against British good were "too timid and altogether ineffective." Canada could no. keep out British goods and at the same time serve the British cause to the fullest extent, he said. Ee urged that more British gcods be put on the free list. As far as restricting imports from the United States was concerned, |. he believed embargo was preferable to increased tariffs. Higher prices merely deprived the people on the lowest economic levels of the listed goeds, some of which were necessi- ties and not luxuries. Persons with higher incomes would buy as be- fore, merely paying higher prices. In proposing his amendment fav- oring a compulsory loan, he submit- ted that when the young men of the country were being asked to of- fer their lives, wealth ought to be asked to give itself up to the same catise. His proposal would not be (Continued on Page 7, Col. 4) Aches and Pains of RHEUMATISM Your mongy will be returned by Tamblyn's if one bottle of Ru-Ma does not show you the quick easv way to get relief from ihe cruel, stubborn aches and pains of rheu- matism.

L. Churcher, of Dungannon Township, urged "every sacrifice" for a newer, greater democracy which will, he said, arise when the war is fought and won. "We have lived through a year terrific strain. The British peo- l¢ have a tremendous job which Cahadians and we in Hastings County do not even yet fully re- alizee. We will have to sacrifice, but we will win. "With regard to financing the war, the Dominion Government is spending huge amounts of money," Warden Churcher said. "I believe the Dominion Government should do it all. County councils and municipal councils should be very careful with their finances, so that they will have a sound financial basis for the reconstruction period." : During the afternoon an invita- tion was received for the council- lors to visit and inspect: Trenton R.C.A.F, station, and it was unan- imously decided to attend in a body this afternoon. H. L. Fair, Agricultural Repre- sentative for Hastings, gave a brief talk on conditions here in comparison to other Cntario coun- ties. He pointed out that Hastings, with a cow population of 42,000 stood fourth in Ontario.

The two young gentlemen hash, from obscure source, secured the in- different services of a rather broken- down horse in addition to a scoop shovel of the type used for excavat- ing. cellars. The boys claim to be the forerunners of a movement to put this time honoured occupation into the semimechanized class and are currently offering to clear a standard sized Janeway from garage to street for the sum of twenty-five cents as a demonstration of what organization can do for harrassed snow-shovellers.

"I hope the motorists will co-op- erate wholeheartedly," said Mr. Hepburn. "This arrangement gives them an opportunity of rendering effective aid in two ways and at no cost to themselves. Three hundred tons of scrap steel could be an im- portant amount in war industries, and the cash derived from the sale of the metal will be used by the Red Cross. In the present emerg- ency, when steel mills are working to capacity, we must avoid waste of material, and I am sure that moter- ists will support this worthwhile undertaking." The salvage plan is made possible, it was stated, through the co-opera- tion of Imperial Oil Ltd, and mem- bers of the Automotive Transport Associations. Plates may be left at all Imperial stations and the asso- | ciation members will collect them, and eventually transport them to the mills. Both operations are be- | ing conducted without charge. Engineer Asks Co-operation In Keeping Oshawa Streets Reasonably Clear Of Snow Banned Articles O.K. As Christmas Gifts Ottawa, Dec. 5.--Christmas gifts sent to Canada from the United States will not be affected by the import ban on non-essential articles originating outside the Empire, a National Revenue Department of- ficial] said today. The spokesman said that gifts entering Canada as "casual donations" are not affected by the new ban, though the usual customs regulations regarding value applies. Restrictions on non-essen- tial imports were designed to con- serve Canada's foreign exchange, and the officials noted that gifts to Canadians from Americans would be bought in the United States with their own money.

G. Miller stated today, but in order to do so the works department needs a measure of co-operation from citi- zens generally. The city works crew has been putting in long hours clearing now from the streets the past ten days but the city engineer believes that the results achieved have compensated for the extra-ef- fort. The works staff this year is han- dicapped this year by the fact that little or no relief labor is available. Last winter 200 to 300 reliefees could be called out whenever a severe snowstorm occurred but now less than 20 men are available. The re= sult is that the department cannot give the same service provided. a year ago. , An efficient job of scraping snow to the side of streets can still be done, thanks to the snowplcw pure chased last year but the department cannot cart this accumulation of snow to the dumping grounds with the same speed. In addition private driveways cannot be cleared as was done last year. Car owners will | therefore have to do their own driveway shovelling. The co-operation which the City Engineer requests is that autoists do not park their cars on the street during or after a storm until the plow has gone through. When cars are parked the plow must stop and have the cars moved or else move around the cargleaving an uncleared area. Where ny such cars are en- countered the snow clearance is most unsatisfactory. The other point on which the en- gineer asks co-operation is that bus- iness men and householders gener- | ally refrain shovelling snow 'from their sidewalks onto the roadway. Where this is done after the road- way has been cleared, it causes the roadway to become bumpy and un- even, eventually packing into ice which can only be removed w'th pick and shovel. Snow from side walks should be shovelled onto boulevards or into the gutter where no boulevards exist. Yesterday's snowstorm caused the works staff more work than any heretofore, several trips having to be made on Simcoe south to the smke in order that busses could continue to operate and to permit trucks to haul coal from the lake to Genejpal Motors boilers. A few outlying streets were drifted in completely, notably the road to Lakeview Gare dens. Today the plow is opening all roads. gr ---- THAT RUMOR ABOUT NASH WAS TRUE!

Because the contributing com- panies, by and large, were thor- oughly satisfied with the results achieved from the outset, Mr. Fos- ter stated, life insurance institu- tional advertising had always been a purely newspaper campaign. "Year after year," the speaker said, "the committee had consider- ed suggestions for a different type of campaign, but 1t has always con- cluded, as it did again in reporting to the essociation's annual meeting last June, to recommend a con- tinued campaign of the same gen- eral character that had been under- taken in the past," mons yesterday Herbert Morrison said connection with statement, in Britain are confined. and every TOF and authorized their employment on the production of goods, such a8 sheepskin coats, for the Can- adian army, Home According to Mr. Morri which civilians Secretary it was in the selection of civilian internees for work on a Pioneer Corps engaged in salvage work in England. son's Mr. Patterson was to | visit internment camps in Canada from Great Earlier this year a large number of prisoners were brought to Can- ada from Great Britain. ber includes both combatant pris- oners of war captured in action and civilians of enemy nationality resident in Great Britain. the latter are said to be refugees from Nazi persecution and favor- ably disposed to the British cause.
