To Expand Nation Capital Necessary "Capital at work Is necessary 10 expand our country and employ our people. As it does not seem to be available for those purposes, let us wonder why, bearing in mind that capital disappears under duress but blossoms with encour- agement. Some causes of the prob- lem appear to be excessive income taxes, the attitude of labor unions, then harassment of business by gov- ernment and competition by gov- ernment in the capital markets," Wilfrid P. Gregory, Q.C., President of The Dominion Mortgage and In- vestments Association, told the an- nual meeting of the association held in Stratford last week. Feinting out that income taxes, both personal and corporate, are far too high from the point of view of accumulation of savings, Mr. Gregory commented, "The government should remember that it creates no anew wealth; (print- ing the currency does not qualify under this heading). It -simply re- distributes the earnings of indi- viduals and companies." And again, "It should never be forgot- ten that expenditures on social measures decrease the supply of capital needed jo develop the country and causb the conditions which necessitate more money for unemployment retie f. Welfare measures are necessary but can cause grave dislocation when they require too large ‘a proportion of the national income and reduce the level of saving." Mr. Gregory pointed out that another factor ad- verse to an expansive mood for capital is the increasing erosion of non-taxable capital gains by the Department of National Revenue. "We constantly see the report that Canadian buy bonds and Ameri- cans acquire the ownership. Un- doubtedly one pertinent influence is that we, in Canada, no longer have the taxing atmosphere which encourages people to place their money in risk enterprises." "Government measures must be of such nature as to assure these risk -takers of a favorable climate for getting their money back with interest. Otherwise business will continue to coast along with no incentive to step up speed in such ways as by searching for new ideas, by diversifying into new products or by extending into new areas." A further reason given by Mr. Gregory for the dearth of capital available for the purpose of the country's expansion is the compe- tition provided by the Government of Canada itself. He point out that over the past four years it has run a deficit of about two bil- lion dollars. Ile said, "This was money which otherwise would have been available for the capi- tal requirements of expanding in- dustry."

It would have been much better if the terms they meant to govern whether or not a' person is entitled to vote had been added into Section 25, but they were not. The section does not set out how householders and freeholders are to be ascertained. It seems to me that court must Judge: "Have you any concrete take a wide view, but there has evidence to show that you were to be some means of ascertaining attacked?" who the electors are, and there- Prisoner: "No, your worship— fore we either have no election or I was hit by a brick." that we have some decision upon which to base an election.

Mr. Bell was again assisted by Zach Ryan, representing the com- plainant.
