WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10; 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Canada's Estimates $131 Millions Lower Than Last Year Savings Are Seen In Some Sections, Increase In Others \ Ottawa, March 10 (CP)--Government expenditures for the 1948-49 fiscal year are estimated at $1,985,146,060--a $131,821,793 drop from the 1947-48 figure of $2) But Finance Minister Abbott said in a press 16,967,853. statement issued shortly after he tabled the estimates in the last night that supplementary es-® timates for the fiscal year ending March 31 still are to be submitted. "And it may be expected that, in accordance with the usual ex- perience, supplementary estimates, 0s for the new year 1948-49 will later be found necessary to cover re- quirements that now cannot be foreseen." Vy The estimates show anticipated decreases in the expenditures of the veterans, reconstruction, fi- nance, external affairs and agricul- ture departments. Increases are looked for in the resources, health, revenue, public works and transport departments and in votes for government owned enterprises. Mr, Abbott said the decreases "arise largely from the lower amounts required for food and cost- of-living subsidies, relief to Ku- rope, and for the closing out and contraction of various demobiliza- tion and reconstruction activities, as well as a reduction in the num- ber of veterans still drawing bene- fits, gratuities and re-establish- ment credits." Increase Pensions Major increases would be in old- age pensions and family allow- ances, health services to Indians, income-tax administration, survey and mapping work, road-improve- ment, national-park facilities for tourists, Indian education, public works, construction and improve- ment of airport and air services and essential reconstruction of maritime ports. The minister said a total of $1,- 214,288,000 almost was "uncon- trollable." This amount included family allowances, pensions, public debt interest, veterans' war service payments, subsidies to the provin- ces and government contributions to unemployment insurance, The defence department would have authority to spend $252,000,- 000--$20,000 more than it expect- ed to need--so that the department would mot be unable. to carry out essential work, Following are among appropri- ations for public works in Ontario contained in the estimates for the year ended March 31, 1949: (Last vear's vote in brackets).

Radio Talks Disapproved By Labor Council The Oshawa and District Labor Council, at its meeting in the Union Hall last night; went on record as disapproving of the decision of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce to breadcast 10 radio talks in the "Pat. tern for Prosperity" series sponsor. ed by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. The council tock the stand that the talks are: (a) Employer propaganda for the free enterprise point of view which is subtly slanted against labor. (db) That such broadcasts should be sponsored by such employer groups as the Canadian Manufac. turers Association which exists to promote the corporate welfare of the employers. (c) That the talks should not be broadcast by the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce as they are one-sided and are not in the spirit of its con. stituticn which proclaims: "The object of the Oshawa Chamber. of Commerce shall be to promote the civic, economic and social welfare of the jeople of Oshawa and vicin. ity." s (revote $45,000) 100,000 (88,000); | Bturgeon Falls--wharf extension | (revote) 8,400 (8,400); Tobermory | --wharf and dredging (revote) | 13,000 (104,000); Wallaceburg -- | extension to wharf and warehouse 31,600 .(---); Whitby--repairs to harbor 230,000 ($100,000). Straighten | Creek Course Labor Asks The Oshawa City Council will receive a communication from the Oshawa and District Labor Coun- cil suggesting that action should be taken to straighten the course of the Oshawa Creek as a means of preventing flooding in the spring. The communication will also suggest that Council interest itself in the beautification of the creek flats and turn them into park lands. A suggestion will be sent by te Labor Council to the Uneniploy- ment Insurance Committee of the C.C.L. asking that action be taken to change the regulations as re- gards the payment of unemploy- ment insurance benefits. It was pointed out that while most local employees work a five- day week deductions are made in their wages to cover six days' un- employment insurance, yet when they are out of work: they can only draw benefits for five days,: Members of affiliated unions were urged by the Labor Council to circulate the petitions of the Housewives Consumer Organiza- tion asking' Ottawa to roll back prices. A report 'was given to the Coun- cil' by George Thomson and M. J. Fenwick of the business transacted ta the recent convention of the Ontario Federation of Labor. Strong oppositin was voiced to the action of Canada Steamship Lines in signing an agreement with a company .union. It was pointed out that the employees of the firm had. voted to .have the Canadian Seamen's Union as their bargaining agency. M. J. Fenwick, secretary of the Council, reported that quite a num- ber of copies of the petition asking for an early by-election in Ontario Riding, had been returned. He said about a thousand names had been placed on the petitions, and he was anxious to forward the petition as soon as possible to Ottawa. It was decided to place a $10 advertisement in the C.C.F. News. Would Remove Concrete Curbs At Prestonvale Endorsation was given by the Oshawa and District Labor Council, at its' meeting in'the Union Hall last night, to a recommendation from the executive committee urging the Ontario. Department of Highways to eliminate 'the cement curbs on the bridge near Prestonvale, The recommendation pointed out that the curbs make the highway appear narrow and cause drivers to hug the centre of the pavement and thus tend to'cause accidents. The support of the Oshawa City Council, Bowmanville Town Council and the Darlington . Township Council will be sought. Other recommendations endorsed by the meeting were: That we ask the Oshawa City Council to install traffic lights at the corner of King and Ritson streets for the convenience of the residents in that area and the safe. ty of the children. That we endorse the proposed national labor code drafted by the Canadian Congress of Labor as a suggested substitute for all existing federal labor legislation having to do with collective bargaining rels. tionships. And that we seek support of our local members of the Ontar- io Legislature and member of par. liament for same. That we give $10 to the strike fund of District No. 18, United Mine Workers of America whose members recently ended a protract. ed strike in 'Western Canada. That we support the Ontario Fed. eration of Labor in its protest to the Drew government against the use of police in the Rogers Majestic strike in Leaside on the grounds that we oppose the use of police in labor disputes. Gave Inspiring Address at CBMC An open meeting of the Christian Business Men's Committee was held in the auditorium of Centre Street United Church last evening when a most interesting ang inspiring ad. dress was given by Rev. Donald Gunn of the Worldwide Evangeliza. tion Crusade. - Mr. Gunn used the words of Paul --""I am not mad'--spoken before Festus and Agrippa, to bring to his audience a numbér of lessons on the Christian life. "The world at its worst needs the church at its best" he said. The speaker closed with a moving appeal to "hold the line" against the forces of evil rampant in the world today. Introducing Mr. Gunn, the chair. man of the meeting, O. Sharrard, told of the distinguished speaker's varied career ag farm boy, school teacher, storekeeper, Y.M.CA. worker, minister, and for 13 years a missionary in India.. Musical numbers which much appreciated were given by the Oshawa Male Quartet and Ted Sharpe, violinist. The chairman of the C.B.M.C.. George Humphries, made a report on the recent provincial rally in Hamilton and announced the la- dies" night meeting which is to be held on Monday, April 12, with Rev. Rcbert Barr, minister of Knox Presbyterian Church, Toronto, as 'guest speaker. PEEL THEM FIRST?

The" conferences referred to are | the Brussels parley to consider ways and means of forming a union of Western European powers, and the American.British - French discus. sions in London regarding the fu. ture of Western Germany and the Ruhr. Both these meetings have met with unexpected success. The Brussels conference, which is continuing, is among Britain, France and the so-called Benelux countries--Belgium, the Nether- lands and Luxembourg. Already they have laid down the political and legal basis of a Western European economic and military union. It is stated that there is general agree. ment on the basic principles of a 'World Situation Brighter 'As Result Of Conferences to be done before the formal pacts can be phrased. ; Should this Western Furopean union develop it would be.calculated to complement the Marshall Plan in a big way.
