MR. wums’s ADDRESS - Hon Mr. White said that since " August last the Government had successfully coped with heavier responsibilities than had fallen to . the lot of any previous adminisâ€" . tratiom There was the responsibilâ€" itv of putting forth our maximum effort in the war which threaten- ? ed the very‘existence of the Em- ’ ' pire and all it tStOO‘d for and there " was the responsibility for the ' .1 civil administration of the Domin- ' ion during the period of [severe 3 5' dislocation and painful readjust- 5 ment of finance and commerce3 consequent upon the outbreak of the war. p l l l l Notwithstanding the slender ' resources of the Militia Depart- ment a force of over 30.000 men had been equipped 'within a few weeks and sent overseas. It was a great achievement, one which' would have been deemed imp-ossi' '. ble before the .war. Toâ€"day Can- : ada’s army exceeded 100,000 and ! would shortly reach 150,000. Over ? 50,000 had crossed the Atlantic. The entire force had been raised. 'trained, and equipped bv the Government .All the expense was borne by Canada. In the Boer War Canada’s troops had bee-1 paid by Great Britain. Orin: to the vigor with which the Gov- ernment had prosecuted the war and the deathless valor of Canad~ ian troops, the name of Canada. had been exalted in the Empire and throughout the world. From the beginning the Government had realized the issues at stake. £anada’s first business is the war-until the war is over. That was the motto of the Canadian Deople to-day. That 'was the mot to to whieh the -Government would live up. At the outbreak of the .var the Government had taken prompt and effectual steps to prevent fi- nancial panic, to alleviate the difficulties under which commerce labored, to minimize unemploy- ment. Canada's borro wings abroad having been at once cut off, her imports and in conse. quence her customs revenue at once fell off sharply. Nevertheless that the economic shock of war lmight be mitigated as much as possible the existing public works programme was maintained. In order to prevent recourse to heavy taxation the Dominion note circulation had been expanded be twenty-five million dollars. The first taxation measures had been principally on articles of luxuri Gus consumption such as liquors and tobaccoe. An arrangement has been made with the Imperial Gov.- me, ernment to make advances for the principal of our war expenditure. A campaign for increased agricul- tural production had been enter ed upon which would hear it's fruit in the largest harvest in Canada’s history. This campaign had been derided by Liberal mem bers of the House. At‘a time of the greatest financnal stress the sum of twelve million dollars had been appropriated to relieve dis tress in the drought stricken dis tricts of the West and for seed griain for farmers. A LI_ _ Throughout, the .spitit of the Canadian people, without distinc- tion of class or political aifiliatio. had been admirable. They realized the character of the crisis which lconh-zm ted the Government and Iwere prepared to give a gener- Ions support. The far-reaching tbudget of last session had been ‘received in an unprecedentedlv liavorabl manner. The corres '.pondence Mr. White had received .resp-ecting it was negligible, bv War the smallest in the history of ibndgets. The good sense of the people realized that a 11 a1 11hic11 doubled the expenditure of the ‘ country and at the same time out 'off a great part of its revenue 1could not be carried on Without 'a-dditio-nal taxation. Not only was ithis true of belligerent, but even got neutral nations. such as the ‘United States, which has bee.) {obliged to bring in a supplement- '.ary taxation measure oxing‘ to i the war. While the spirit of the people had been of the best, the Minister was sorry that the same could not be said of the Liberal leaders They had not been able in such a crisis to refrain from any criticism no matter how uniust, from anv misrepresentation no matter how gross, that would in their View serve the end of political advant- age Their one object was the attainment of the power they had lost in 1911 The truce pro;laimed at the outbreak of the War had been on their part open truce anti insidious war By press and pam- phlet the Government «struggling with the arduous conditions fol- lowing upon the war, had been assailed all through last fall Mr, White said that he himself had been made the subject of bit- ter attack for the issues of cur- rencv which no one daied chal- lenge when the matter was under discussion in the House By last session the Liberal leaders had re- solved to hamper and embarrass the Government to the utmost of their power They had opposed the budget, although they were unable to offer any alternative measure in substitution Thev hai “falsely charged that the British prefeience had been decreased In ‘ reality it had been increased, be- cause applied to practically the \1 hole list of free goods The Liberal leaders had Jeei ed at Canâ€" iadian business and mocked at the idea of giving Canadian working- ‘men employment in Canadian fac- tories- They considered they had done their whole duty when they concurred in the xv ar votes of $150, 000, 000 What else could thev have done but concur? No public: imen in Canada, even if so dist os- ed, and he did not suggest there ixv ere, would have dared to oppose .the war vote. But short of that 3 they did everything possible to ioppose and embarrass. They said “your taxes are not war taxes because .you are bor- rowing the principal of your war outlays.” They closed their eyes to the fact that interest must be paid on money borrowed. Four; per cent. on $150,000,000 is $6,; 000,000 per annum. Then the Wives and children of soldiers who have given their lives must be maintained by the pensxon list. ‘That would reach four or five lmillions a year. And yet the new taxes are not to be called “War I be paid from revenue and what -'ha.s caused the pension list unless the War? The Liberal leaders Were worse than Egyptian taskmasters because they had said in. effect, oppose pensions but you must not raise money to pay them.” As a matter of fact, the Liberal leaders had acted like a lot of “bad children” rather than re- sponsible statesmen seized of the gravity .of the crisis. .' '3 .__.A1A h-“'-vd ‘ Sir Wilfrid Laurier had said with tawdry rhetoric that he would not open the portals of office with a bloody key. Judging by his actions in the House and ‘ the fact that his lieutenants are going up and down the country trying to excite the people over the lightest measure of taxation ex- isting in any belligerent coum try. Sir Wilfrid would open the portal with any key, break down the dow if only he- could attain pow-vi ‘er .No one in Canada, save the' {most ignorant, could .mssibly be. ‘ ideceived by such flagrant mis- {repre-sen-tation but it would be a Enity it outside of Canada the jopin-ion should be created that ianiv considerable body of the Can- adian public had so little interest! i. 'm the war as to be concerned ‘about the imposition of a few cents per familytor war stamps taxation designed to assist the financing of the .‘War and paw pensions to the dependents of soldiers who had given: their liVes to their country. The Liberal lead- ers would haveâ€"to reckon with the public for this campaign of na- tional derogation. All the new taxes whether spe- cial, or of customs or excise had been caused by the war and were therefore war taxes. If there had i i been no War the war taxation measures would have been unne- cessary. It would not do for the Dominion to say, “We shall bor- row all the additional money we may require and impose no new taxes.” In the first place it would I not be possible, because interna- tional money markets are practi- cally ciOsed and even if practi' cable it would be destructive of the ,Dominion‘s credit. Financiers would look askanee at the securi- ties of a country which resorted only to borrowing to meet the erigency of War. The Government had faced its situation. That was one reason Why the Budget had been so xvell received. The short- age in revenue being caused prin- cipally be the war in. which we are engaged, the new taxes are \var taxes. All such taxes are so re- garded without question in other countries and it has remained for Canada to produce soâ€"cailed po- litical leaders petty enough to differently characterize them. C2.- nada, like other nations, had to impose new taxes. The alternative would have been inability to car- rv on the War at least oLn any sub- stantial scale or the gravest inâ€" iury to national credit. “- The Liberals at last session and since had charged the Govern- ment with extravagance. Consid- ering its source this charge was the prize piece of humor of the day. The men who during their period of office, attached the Do- minion’s guarantee to one hund- red and twenty-five million dol- lars of railway securities, who committed the country to an ex- penditure of over two hundred million dollars on the National T rants-continental and Q uebac bridge, who by their bungling caused the Government to pay out five million dollars in cash and thirty-three million dollars for the purchase of Grand Trunk Pa- cific bonds at par when their mar- ket value was 70, now talk about economy. The present Government ‘ ‘had succeeded to a heritage of. ‘ liabilitv almost incalc-ulable. By‘ his foolish railway policy Sir Wil- frid was responsible for the Can- adian real estate inflation and collapse. The credit of the Dominâ€" ion and its Provinces had become involved on a vast scale with the affairs of two international rail- way systems. The Government had considered it its duty not to assail these enterprises, but to assist to carry them to comple- tion. This did not imply approval of the policy under which they had been inaugurated. .The Liber- al leaders were so ungrateful as to not appreciate the assistance extended to their offspring. It is true that public expendi- ture has been increasing. In a country like Canada it always will increase. But by jar the gneater‘part of the increase in recent years has been due to the policy of wasteful extravagance of the late Gov-eminent in enter- Drises such .as the National Trans- COnttinental, built Wrong end first ‘at appalling cost. The Grand 'Tru‘nk Pacific had refused to take it over, and .no wonder! Could any railway company in Canada afford to pay twenty thousand dollars a day rental for a line running through the northern wilderness?
