SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA HEAD OFFICE . . ! Farmers' Creditors' Act is Promoting Communism A story in the Haveioc-k Standard : states that bitter criticism agains -the Federal Government's Creditor'; ' Arrangement Ac! is increasing in leapt and bounds throughout. Canada, and ii j the opinion of many sensible observ eis, is doing more to harm the farmei creditor than any other factor to-day The Standard quotes the Kiilowing from a letter published in the Examiner written bv Dr. A. S. Thompson ot Havejock. "A farmer paid $10,000 cash for a farm. Wishing to retire, he sold it fir $3,000.00 cash and a mortgage for $6,000.00 at 5 per cent. Dying, his estate left to his widow and invalid daughter, was their only support. Until 1934 the purchaser kept up payments on principal and interest. Then he with deliberate intent, neglected to pay either so as to qualify for relief via the F.C.A., asking for a reduction of both. His unsworn and unsupported statement of inability to meet his obligations was favorably considered and acted upon by the authorities appointed to deal with such cases. He was not asked, nor did he submit any evidence of material value upon his bus-ines s affairs, bank deposits, e support of his plea of poverty abil'ty to pay. He wag granted' duction on principal of nearly 17 per cent, and a 20 per cent reduction of interest. In addition all arrears of interest were cancelled. Another farmer, owing nearly teen hundred dollars, six hundred of which was cash loaned to buy cattle, laved the same game in the same ay under the sanction of this same cf. The unfortunate creditor was compelled to accept a cheque for five hundred dollars in full of his whole account. e above instances of the confiscatory nature of the F.C.A. are the 1937, at 1.30 i 1 Davenport 2 Large Leather Rockers 1 Small Oak Rocker, leather cushion 3 Veranda Chairs 1 Kitchen Rocker 2 Heavy Oak Arm Chairs 1 Kitchen Table amd Chairs 1 Walnut Dining Suite, complete 1 Walnut Arm Chair 1 White Sewing .Machine, cabinet 1 Ottoman 1 Writing Desk 2 Kitchen Chairs 1.Full-length Mirror 1 Hall Mirror 1 Wicker Table 1 Walnut Centre Table 1 Stove, coal or wood 1 Stove, wood 1 Bedroom Suite, gum-wood ,1 Simmons Bed. springs, mattress "'l Cream Enamel Dresser 1 Wash Stand and Set 1 Enameled Bed, springs and mat- 1 Iron.

The creditor is placed' by law at the mercy of a dishonest and unscrupulous debtor.

To a layman thfi Act, depriving a limited class of] their just rights with no appeal nor1 redress, appears to be "ultra vires" any constitutional government to enact.
