solving the problem of unemployment in canada r j deachman mp for south huron de clared in the house of commons last week i venture to suggest to the minister of labor the minister of finance and the prime minister that if we were to return to the tariff and taxation lev els of 1930 our unemployment prob- lent would be solved he declared we are diverting a large amount of the earnings of our people from the purchase of consumers goods to ex pendltures upon relief railways and other things and there is not left a sufficient sum to provide a normal purchasing power for the people of canada increases tariff mr deachman not only depreciated the diray ascent of theales tax from one per cent in 1930 to eight per cent in 1938 but pointed out that its imposition on imports from other countries skyrocketed canada s tariffs to their highest point in history his comments were voiced during a de bate in the house on unemployment in the country th which suggestions for eliminating it were advanced by van ous members i would like to go back to 1930 he said and attempt to analyze the differences existing between 1930 and 1937 these in my view are the main causes of the unemployment we have today in 1930 we had a one per cent sales tax while in 1937 we had an eight per cent sales tax in 1930 we had no excise tax now we have a three per cent excise tax in reality a tariff on that amount upon all goods coming from foreign countries in addition to that we have a tariff which has reached heights never be fore approached in canadian history it is so high that i feel quite certain neither the minister of nnance mr dunning nor the minister of labor mr rogers could by any possibility look over the top of it we now have a tariff framed up on a new basis our customs tutiff which records the rates for the do minion of canada is now distributed with blank pages here and there throughout the book the object of the blank pages is to provide a place upon which one may write the real tariff because the tariff schedule as it stanas does not reveal the true situ ation one must get the true rate from the customs branch by a special s atement even then i venture to assert that if today 1 were to ask the minister of national revenue mr ilsley the tariff on certain items of cotton goods from the united slates he would have to tell me well it is lecorded in the book but one must then add three per cent to the tariff and a further eight per cent sales tax and then if one wishes to follow it through to the last he would be told that in addition section 36 of the customs act has to be considered through which special values are imposed upon products coming from the united states to a certain extent thai valuation 4a pends upon he humor of the man who makes the valuation or to go back to an old phrase the rate of customs duty depends upon the length of the chancellors boot hits wrong people mr deachman contended that at tempts to alleviate unemployment by further examination meant ah unduly heavy burden on persons in lower in come brackets he went on when we consider these problems what do we do the suggestions are many and varied one man says we ought to provide unemployment in surance not jong ago in tpe house i explained that aftercareful calcula tlon i had found the earnings of the farmer amounted to 362 per year while the earnings of the laborer in industry amount to well over 900 per year and so if we provided unem ployment insurance we would be set ting up further taxation upon people receiving less than 400 in order to provide insurance for those receiving more than 900 you are proposing to expend money upon public works but i ask when you have expended git froofof create oy frigidaire hew silent metermiser m v a vesmore on

dominion of canada what have you you have men temporarily employed in a par tlcular business and as soon as that is over they have no employment but if on the other hand we made some effort to reduce taxation so that we could free some of this money which is now spent upon taxation i venture to assert that your unemployment would dissolve like the early cloud in the morning dew the fort brie times

canadian meo cal association and l imsuttanck compan cs in canada the more we understand human be haviour the less do we blame the child or the adult for behaving in what is to us an undesirable way mary a girl in her teens has al ways quarrelled she has never seem ed able to play happily with her elder sister and at school her life has been a continuous battle with the other children eventually as so often happens in such cases mary broke one of our laws and found herself in court it was then that someone realized it would be desirable to study mary and so try to find out the reason for her behaviour in order to help her marys life at home had not been happy true she was often enough in the wrong but to her that seemed to be of no importance because her parents blamed her no matter who was at fault her school life was not much bet ter she had difficulty with her school work and she was blamed for this being called stupid and laxy her teachers- disliked her because she was a nuisance to them no one seemed to realize that marys fighting back and her quarrelling were perfectly natural things for her do under the circumstances she did not create her home or school situ ation so she certainly was not to blame in the home mary felt insecure she was blamed and to her the blame was unfair so she struggled to assert herself which is a much more healthy thing to do than to he down and accept the situation marys intelligence is below normal which would account for her difficulty with school work she has no con trol over the intelligence with wnlch she is born so no blame can be at tached to her on that point this problem did not as a whole arise because the child was of poor intelligence that is merely an ddental mary is a problem because she has not been treated with under standing it is the treatment which she has received the lack of under standing which has brought mary to the court as a delinquent mary would have grown up to her present age a healthy child if her parents and the school had been able to give her sympathetic and understanding guidance which would have made her feel secure in her home and in so clety questions concerning health ad dressed to the
