give the contrary impres slon of the doings in ottawa at the present time yet in reliable sources it is indicated that party politics may have to take a second place in canada in 1940 on account of the manifold as pects of the supreme war effort which requires the mobilization of the total strength of this nation the lat est gossip in the house of commons and lobbies is that some of the old poll tksal war horses now pasturing in the elysian fields to the east namely the senate may be recalled to the more active domain of the canadian poll tloal scene this is the feeling of political uncertainty which is prevail ing right now in the capital though the regular press or radio despatches would not give such an impression there are two main reasons for this atmosphere first the

urgently needed in the prose cution of the war only a national government could eliminate this static interference second the veteran parliamentarian and senior privy councillor who is now head of the official opposition hon r b han son has irdicated a willingness to co operate fully and directly with any plan to create a national government for the duration of the war but if this is not done the courteous and capable representative from new brunswick will provide a strenuous and fighting leadership against the government s war policies focussing attentioi on the charges that pollti caj

banking evolved by man as a convenience to serve his developing needs now provides the solution as a depository for his money today the canadian relies upon his bank c from the days of the old world goldsmiths of centuries ago to bafiks bank notes and deposit accounts which meet so efficiently the greater business and human needs of today is a far cry indeed c canada s chartered banks wih their

press or radio news bulletins from ottawa are presenting calm and formal jilate ments how canada s nineteenth par 1 lament plans to carry out its deter minatlon to share in the war effort of the allies yet this veteran ohser ver can detect hints on parliament hill of w despread impatience so that these tragic events abroad have served to greatly intensify and to urgently speed up the national war effort au along the line with a general drastic acceleration and enlargement of all original plans being forecast in unus ually well informed and dependable sources in the nations capital con sequently these momentous decisions and actions of the represents ives of the people in the capital involve vital changes and recasting of plats which were formerly announced to the man in the street and the whole canadian war policy is being framed with the possibilities of emergencies in mind and it is being sufficiently flextbl u be adjustable readily easily and q lick ly to any situation which the war may produce within the nex few weeks or months including prepara tions on the military or economic home front and abroad it is expected that the adoption ol mich plans would result in starilng and smooth working improvements in the supreme national effort creating a more vigorous and effective prosecu tlon of canada s part in the war and enabling the people of canada to throw their whole weight into the tltantlc struggle though it must tlon corn of what implementation ts p anned ol the report of he royal comn t on on federal provincial re lations it is believed jn relialta quarters on parliament hill that thi extensive and expensive report will not be shelved on account of the war since it was intended for peacetune when it was commenced three yean ago bu it is a plan for financial re- adjuu or welfare of the great massss which involve objectives that are far greater and far more urgent in time of war and of post war reor ganizations than in time of peace furthermore a coram ehenslvs study of this famous report snows that tis main principles or recommendation are in reality nothing more than pleas for a confirmation of the basis ideas or principles of the british north america act of 195 which unit ed this land into a nation or a better ment of the unifying influences throughout canada by th identical principles which brought about con federation over seventy tore- yearn ago in 1897 the domlruon of can ada assumed the pitnlnclai debts and emsreport of 1940 ha the same sug gestion in 1807 the dominion off canada expected to exr is the chief taxing powers of tha tone namely customs and excise and this report of 1940 has the same idea in mind by suggesting that the dominion shall exercise chief taxing powers namely personal income tax corporation tax and succession duties in 18b7 the- dominion of canada assumed the ob ligation of grantins subsidies to the provinces based onpopulation and this report of 1940 makes tr- sam sugges- ion of subsidies to the provinces bas ed on population though calling it national adjustment grants and tak ing into account th nequalltles in wealth which have developed between the provinces bight there is no do ibt that some thing will be done soon to keep a closer watch on filth columns in canada and it is exp ed oat the populations of the mtcrnmen camps are due for an increase finally no one can remember when there were so many mounted police around ottawa as there are today on view in the capital of canada and parliament hut believes that this check and double check system re flects the general attitude of the gov- ertnent on the matter of national de fense and protection throughout the whole country to avoid sabotage or attack at any point with the hint that the new session may take some strong
