Suggestion that inflationary influences behind the scenes in Canada may be becoming danger- ous was voiced by Elston Cardiff, Huron MP, in a report from par- liament this week, Mr. Cardiff indicated the re- signation .of Graham Towers. as governor of the Bank of Canada could be interpreted as a "red light". Although Towers gave no explanation for his action, he suggested two years ago that his. resignation would be a warning to parliament and to the country that issues of eurrency were be- coming excessive. The Huron MP said; "The fact that our dollar has fluctuated from 10 percent below the Ameri- can dollar to a high of three per- cent over the U.S. dollar and at present time is only worth about 40 cents of the purchasing dol- lar of the 1939 dollar, makes one wonder where we go from here."

The new permissible ceilings move up from $720 to $840 for single veterans and from $1,220 to $1,- 440 for married. "This is far .short of the Amounts suggested by the Canad- ian Legion, They ask that the rate be increased to $60 for single veterans .and $120 for married veterans ,with permiss- ible earning ceiling at $1,000 for single and $2,000 for married veterans." , On unemployment Mr. Cardiff said: Unemployment Ugh "The latest figures indicate that unemployment in Canada has reached a new high of some 600,000. This has been felt 'most severely in the larger cities. Al- most every day we are receiving delegations requesting that im- mediate action be taken to al- leviate the problem. Immediate action to find a solution is not as. easy as one might think. You have to have provincial coopera- tion. A Dominion, Provincial con- ference has been long overdue, and until such a conference is - called, an immediate overall pol- icy is impossible. "Canada is faced with a high cost economy" due to the easy financial polieies of the govern- ment since World War II.. This places Canada in a very unfav- ourable position with regard to world trade. For instance, our average,wage rate is around $1.50• per hour, while Germany;! and Japan's wage rates are from 45 to 55 cents per hour, and that, along with the difficulty in Cana- da of the devaluation of foreign currencies,and the present prem - Meet At Centralia The Exeter Unit of the F.W.T.

' Wage Costs Jtlmnp "The squeeze conies in with high labour and material Costs .in Canada. The rise in wage' costs has hit the Canadian in-, iustry at a faster clip in the 'post-war period .than that of any competing nation. Regardless of •what the Government does for us, we will have to meet that challenge with blood, sweat and tears, if we wish to hold our present standard of living. "This will require the com- bined efforts of each and every one of us, without political in- terference, and the sooner we start changing the present trend, the better for all concerned. This cap be done but not without a combined effort. "The Government can help by stopping the flow of raw material across the border to be processed and then brought back in the finished product. This creates employment outside of Canada that does not tend to oreate°"jobs for Canadian workers. What we lack here is Government plan- ning. We have the raw material. for years to come. We have been much too slow in directing the capability of the labour force. Money is no longer an excuse. "High taxes have done much to price us out of the market. Why should we in this day and age have to pay from three to five hundred dollars tax on a car. An automobile is -no longer a luxury Nearly everbody drives a car, and it is very necessary they should.
