Stephenson referred ta the re- turns brought down in the House which showed the cost of each house above $7,000. lie demand- cd a revaluation in the inlerc ss of the veteran considering the service he rendered the country during the war. Pensions were another case of government indifference, The speaker told of a Durham Coun- ty mother who lost ail thrce of her sons in the late war as well as her husband who died shortly after two sons were reportcd kili- eci. Today, as a wiclow with nci- ther husband or sons she is paid a pension cf only $60 per month with only the added expression of the sympathy cf the government and the three crosses she xears on her coat. The speaker demanded an immediate and satisfactory in- crease cf this meagre pension. Communists In conclusion Mr. Stephenson deait with the increasing menace cf communism. He declared that the government had again fol- lowed a course cf appeasement as in the case cf Hitler. But. the re- cent ban on cornmunists entering Canada was commended as a mnove in the right direction. - He told cf personal knowledge cf a communist school that had been in operation in Port Hope. Operating under the innocent' titie cf the Workers Educational Association, its summer courses had been attended by young communists from ail across Can- ada and among the instructors was Sam Carr who fled Canada at the time cf the arrost of the communist spies in Ottawa and Montreal.

(Article 10) Capital and Employment Capital inveàtment is the solid strength and security behind emn- pîcyment. For example, Cana- ùian manufacturing inctustries re- quire an average investment, of about $5,000 benind every work-. er on their payrolls. (in 1941, there wvere 26,293 inanufacturing cstabiishmcnts in Canada, with 961,1Î8 employees and invested capital of $4,9U5,500,000.) Ownership of Bontis and Stocks th Canada Direct ownership cf bonds and stocks in Canada is concentrated in banks, insurence, trust andi loan companics, dndowmient ftinds of universities, hospitals and churches, and other institutions conductcd for the benefit and ser- vice of the general public. Thus the real concentration cf capital ownership is indirectly spread 0v- or the couire population. Direct owns r-hip of bonds and stocks by individuals is also widespread, and by ne mneans confined te a few -wealthy people. Over three million Canadians purch ascd bonds cf the Fifth Vie- tory Loan, and still larger num- bers ow~n War Savings Certifi- catcs. ln the tive Victory Loans to date during this war, general canvass and payroll subscriptions excecCeld two billion dollars-a vcry substantial stake in Canada dire.ctly owned by the general public. Iri addition te these war- tine mnvcsiments, hundreds of theusands of individuals through- eut Canada are the direct owners cf other Dominion bonds and cf Provincial, municipal, railway, public utiiity and industrial bonds. Leading Companies The Bell Telophone Company of Canada at Dçcember 31, 1942, had 22,728 shareholders in Canada owning 71.5 per cent cf its total stock. These sharehoiders includ- cd 4,232 eî-nployecs cwning an av- orage of 12 shares each. Ameni- can Telephone and Telegraph Company owned 22.3 per cent cf the total stock. and shares cf this company, in turn, were owned by thousands cf individuals. The British American Oul Com- pany, Limited hiad 18,968 share- holders at the end cf 1942, cf whoin 96 per cent wcre residents cf Canada and owned 85 per cent cf its total capital stock. The Canadian Pacific Railway Cornpanv nt Decciber 31, 1942 had 25,911 shareholders in Can- ada oxvning 17.8 pcr cent cf its totail ordinary stock, 18,028 share- holders in the United Kingdomý and other British ccuntries own- ing 53.6 per cent and 17,177 share- holders ln the United States and elsew.hcre owning 28.6 per cent- a tot,-l cf 61,113 direct cwners of ordinary stock.
