Presid ent of Bank Cails on Government To Reduce Spending Montreal, Dec. 1 - Urging a sharpened sense of responisibility among groups that make policies whichbear on prices and costs, George Spinney, president o! the Bank of Montreal, today declared that "self-imposed restraint from charging what the traffic wil bear, either for goods or the skill, George W. Spinney, C.M.G. requir ed ta produce them, is as necessary, as practical and as pru- dent as fire insurance on a high- ly -inflammable structure." Addressing B of M sharehold- crs at their l3Oth annuai meeting, Mr. Spinney alsa pleaded for an immediate, selective immigration program and a reduction la gov- crament spending, as possible aids ta a mare stable cconamy. Emphasizing the danger o! the belief held 'by some economic theorists that, bymonetary mani- pulation and state control, a com- munity could indefinitely consume more than it is able or iiling ta produce, Mr. Spinney1 said that now, "evea the most ardent pro- ponet of compensatory public spending would agree that we have arrived at one of those points in the cconomic cycle where old- fashioned virtues of frugality are thoroughly consistent ýwith the dictates of thle most advanced ec- onomic theory. "The course now indicated lis the difficult and more courageous route of remorseless elimination o! luxuries of governmeatal ex- penditure which represent an un- necessary demand on the taxpayer and on aur productive resources," Mr. Spinney said. Prices and Costs Referring ta the present high prices, Mr. Spinney said that re- cent developments emphasized for all influential groups in the com- munity the urgent need of a shar- pened sense of responsibilîty for the implications of* their own pal- icies in relation ta the behaviaur af prices and living costs. "The upthrust in prices and costs," he said, "is now everybo- dy's concern. It affects the house- wife, ruefully contemplating the famiiy budget. It enormously complicates the problem of pro- vidîng urgently needed housing at prices that people can afford ta pay. It reduces the reai value o! ail accumulated savings in mono- tary form, eating away at the hard-won rewards of foresight and -thrift." While admitting that Canadians h-ve been spared the hardships of violent inflation, Mr. Spinney said, '"we have experienced enough o! the consequences o! a graduai de- COMMUNITY CQUNCIL NEWS Greatest Fallacy - And Greatest Threat (John Atkins la The Scene from Shiagwauk Farm) The greatest !allacy o! aur age and the. one that carnies the great- est threat to aur civilization, is the belie! that the welfare of. the individuai is the responsibility of the state. This belief doos not seem ta carry with it any sense of the individual's respansi'bility toward the state. It is based on the notion that gaverament can distribute wealth among the peo- ple without first collecting it from the people. It is encouraged by politicians who ought ta know better, but who find it politically profitable ta promise the voters something for nothing. People -who believe that they can get something for nothing al- ways have been easy vîctims for confidence mca; and people who elect governments on the strength o! such promises are no exception ta the rule. They pay dearly for their folly. The greatest disservice a gov- crament can render its people is ta make them dependent on it for their bread and butter. The great- est mistake a people can niake is ta allow their goverameat ta make thcm sa dependent. The money the people receive jI FRIGIDAIRE APPLIAN( A 36 Kin g St. E. fr omithe government must be col- lected from the people themselves. It may not be paid ta each in ex- acet proportion ta what is collected from each; but this às certain, less will be paid out than is collected. This also is certain, ail who ac- cept payments from the goverfi- ment will become dependeat on the governiment for part of their livelihood.. They have takea the King's shilling and they have be- corne the King's mca. Henceforth, thcy wili depend less on their earnings and more on their votes for their bread and butter.

Sayirig that Countless people on the other side of the Atlantic regarded this country as a land o! golden op- portunity, Mr. Spianey said, "Ca- nadians are at this moment help- iag ta support, at a low level o! existance, many of these people who could be and should ic cary- ing out a fuller life for themsclves1 ia this country in which there are far too many empty spaces.
