the georgetown herald i seventy fourth year of publication wednesday evening july 10th 1940 150 per annum in advance 200 lo usa glimpses of parliament by hughes cleaver hal ton a member ottawa july 6th 1m0 the budget debate dragged along all last week and by friday it looked as though the vote on the budget would riotr reached until about the sniddle of this week private members started making speeches which would read well in their constituencies and it looked as if we were falling back into the usual routine on friday after- oon a flare up occurred in whlob each s warned the other for holding up j vote and as a result speeches were shortened some stood aside and did not give speeches which they had in tended to make and the vote was reached at six o clock friday after noon the only substantial criticism of the policy lpld down in the budget was voiced by the member for parkdale dr bruce in this budget the gov ernment has imposed heavy taxation and has adopted a policy of paying for the war out of current revenue as far as possible dr bruce opposed this policy of high taxation and instead urged that the war costs should be borne by borrowing to be repaid over a period of years the advantages or paying for the war as far as possible out of current revenue are obvious the total contribution which we as a producing cpuntry can make to ward the winning of the war is the difference between our total produc tion and our domestic consumption of goods the residue over and above our own consumption can be increas ed in two ways 1 by increasing production anl 2 by reducing our domestic con sumption as far as possible this being so it is obvious that taxa tion should be imposed up to the point where it would restrict production and any reduction 1n our own consump tion of goods which can be effected through drastic consumption leaves just that much more of a surplus for war purposes it is to be hoped that the increase in taxation will be of sufficient effect to discourage the use of luxuries and to confine our do mestic consumption to the actual necessities of life there is also a post war advantage in such a scheme as economy now in public spending will mean that through the war years the canadian public will build up a backlog of unsatisfied demands which will help to stimulate and wu cause considerable excess spending by the public when the war is finally who is c w young in our search for the author of reminiscences of georgetown we have finally unearthed a couple of clues prof h l hutt remembers corresponding with mr young who was an enthusiastic horticuuurallst and telleves that he was associated with the cornwall freeholder a semi- weekly paper published in that town we have written to that publication for information about mr young the other day we received a letter from a former georgetown resident mr j r rose of brampton in this weeks paper i noticed an article by mr young and i think we were boys together writes mr hose i wish you would send me his address my father had a flour mill and ground farmers wheat in early days i might add some interesting news x will be 72 years old on october 16th and en- joying good health though my eye sight is rather poor we hope that mr rose will make good his promise and give us some more history of earlier days lr georgetown meanwhile we are try ing to locate mr young and hope to tell you all about him next week won this feature should be very xul to stimulate business during th reconstruction period after the war whenerious unemployment is sure to occur there is another reason why we should pay for the war now as far as it is humanly possible which is that we should not leave all of the cost of the war to be borne in part by the men who fought and won the war in these letters i am endeavoring to place both sides of the various ques tions in an impartial manner and as cannot find any substantial reason lor dr bruces contention i do not know wha better i can do thanquote extracts from his speech as follows the defence of canada is both a major matter and a capital problem a patient might as well try to finance tlie removal of his apiendix while the i operation was proceeding as for us to try to pa for this war as we go out i of current earnings certain members suggest that the bank of canada fin ance this war by monetising the do i minion i credit that woull throw us into an orgy of inflation worse than this continent has ever drearried of i am afraid fortunatei the remedj whlch ccr j tain hon gentlemen suggest where the cure might be worse than the disease is not necessary the idle capital in cluding industrial p ants and quip j ment and skilled woikers which can be enlisted endlessly and diverted in nanufacture of munitions should be called upon to the limit we should borrow all tht funds winch canadians are not using in worthwhile enterprises and turn this money to work in the war that will take care of the emergency more qulcklj than current funds can do i current expenditure on such cupi tal equipment after the war should be provided b taxes an excels now ls in the nature of emergency and calls upon our resources of stored
