THURSDAY. MARCH 4, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PT on CD PAGE NINE List Of Cont Municipal Grants And Immigration . Will Be Debated Toronto, March 4.--(CP)--Study by a joint provincial- municipal committee of Ontario government financial grants to municipalities was forecast Wednesday in the speech from the throne read at the opening of the provincial legislature's 1948 session by Lieutenant-Governor Ray Lawson. «The 4,800-word speech, announc-® ing that the Ontario plan of im- migration from the United King- dom would continue through 1948, also forecast: Assistance to gold mining com- munities; larger expenditures on educational grants to municipali- ties; establishment of a permanent Research Council for Ontario; an expanded mining geological survey program, including study of south- eastern Ontario iron ore areas; Hydro frequency conversion and expenditures of 'several hundred millions" for expansion of generat- ing capacity of the hydro-electric power commission of Ontario; ac- celeration of rural electrification, aimed at serving some 30,000 new customers, at a cost of $10,500,000 to the government; a larger high- way program than in 1947; applica- tion of the pending Dominion labor code to Ontario industry; an en- larged forestry research program. Municipal Grants The speech linked the municip- al grants to dominion provincial re- lations. It regretted that there has been no change in the domin- ion government's refusal to recon- vene the dominion-provincial con- ference. Municipalities were con- cerned because division of duties and tax revenues between province and municipaliites depended large- ly on settlement of similar problems between province and dominion. Municipalities were able to carry their present administrative load only because of large grants from the province. "A system which requires such large payments from one govern- ment to another obviously needs re- view. "The review could have been made much more satisfactorily af- ter fhe position of the province and the dominion have been settled" but as there is no indication of re- sumption of the dominion-provin- cial conference. "My government ,. .. will not postpone action on this account, and will ask you to approve of the establishment of a joint provincial- municipal committee to make the review I have mentioned and to re- commend such adjustments of re- sponsibilities and. revenues as it thinks desirable." s Hydro Program 'The provincial hydro system-- in terms of assets and production one of the largest businesses in Cana- da--had before it a five-year pro- gram of construction which would double its capitalization and in- crease its production by some 1,- 250,000 horsepower exclusive of the St. Lawrence River development. In 1947, 1,000 miles of new 'pri- mary lines were built and 21,000 customers added in the rural elec- trification program. By the end of the year rural customers totalled 196,500. The objectives for 1948 were 3,400 miles of new rural lines and some 30,000 new customers. The program called for $10,500,000 in government aiad. Attempts by the dominion gov- ernment to maintain the Canadian dollar "at an artificially high level" through restrictions and controls had a noticeable effect on gold mining. Number of mining claims recorded was barely half that of 1946 "and the number of claims cancelled rose from 6,003 in 1946 to 18,116 in 1947." Measures to give assistance to gold mining com- munities would be introduced. "Notwithstanding the blow to gold mining, higher prices for base metals and increased activity in the non-metallic industry . . . resulted in a large increase in the value of the aggregate output of all minerals in 1947. This figure amounts to $241,371,337 for 1947 compared with $181,690,779 in 1946 and $234,049,323 in 1939. "You will be asked during the course of the session to consider amendments to the Mining Act with special reference to operations of the mines. These will provide for an. expanded geological field pro- gram which will place 14 geological parties in the field during the sea- son, one of which will investigate the potential iron-bearing areas in Southeastern Ontario." At the outset, the speech paid tribute to Dr, Hobbs Taylor, form- er Progressive Conservative mem- ber for Huron who died last Decem- ber, who devoted his life "in an un- usual degree to service of the pub- lien the practice of medicine, as a. country doctor and through his participation in public affairs." It welcomed Thomas Pryde, elected in a by-election Feb. 16 to take Dr. Taylor's seat. In a review of the last year, the speech said: "I has been a year of great pro- duction and high wages. The in- come and expenditure of individu- als; of the municipalities and the province have never been greater. Industrial activity and production, after a temporary decline in the of transition, stand at record evels for peacetime, but are still able to meet the demand and the capacity of our people to pay for goods and services of all kinds."

Toward the close of 1938 I arrived in London looking for the solution of an important problem. This was after I had attended the Munich conference, followed Hitler into Czechoslovakia, and made a grand swing of the Balkans and back | through Italy and France to Eng- | land. I sought out a distinguished British source and placed my prob- lem before him: "I sense a decided hardening of the British and French attitude to- ward Germany, but I can't put my finger on it. I shall be grateful if you will tell me whether I am right and, if so, what that hardening means." "You are quite right," he replied. "We have decided that appeasement { goes out the window. We shall use { our armies if necessary." | That was to say, of course, that | the two powers would use their | armies to keep Hitler in hand if he started a rampage. It was the right idea but a couple of years too late. | Now with the communizing of Czechoslovakia we have reached a crucial point in a fresh world con- quest which the democracies have been trying to halt by appeasement. The first reaction to the Red assault on the small democracy was the joint note of condemnation by the United States. Britain and France. This has been followed by a wave of anti-Soviet sentiment which has swept Scandinavia. At the same time there has been a sudden decision to speed up im- plementation of Foreign Secretary Bevin's proposal for a "western un- ion" of Europe. England, France and the so-called Benelux countries -- Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg--are scheduled to meet tomorrow in Brussels to begin dis- cussion of this project. Under Bev- in's plan these countries would serve as the nucleus of a larger grouping of western European dem- ocracies, In short, this would provide for a consolidation of Western Europe for mutual benefit which would include defence against Bolshevist aggres- sion. Meanwhile Turkey, another stra- tegically situated country upon which Moscow has trained its. big guns,"has erupted into action. Fifty. six alleged Communists went on trial yesterday in Istanbul charged with forming a society to "establish the supremacy of one class over an- other." This is part of a general anti- Communist house-cleaning which was started more than a year ago. 80 we are witnessing an all- around tighten of the defences against Bolshevi in Europe.
