The atmosphere of lunacy, he thought, extended to the political field. "'rile Liberals, having passed through a most active inflationary socialist pilaw!, are now relatively Conservative.

I sometimes wonder if we appreciate . this value of ownership ,that. they prized so highly. Today we again have people com- ing from the old .lands,to our town- ship who have the Same great de- sire to possess their own farms, who could not possibly accomplish that if they remained across the water.

The cost of health insurance must be an added burden upon ye fruits of our industrial production and so raise the costs- of such produc- tion, As costs rise, the ability of Our industries in Ontario to com- pete at home and abrdad is further jeopardized." Mr. Armour, who entitled his ad- dress "Who's Loony Now?" pointed out several other proposals now being made by various groups that, in his opinion, were symptoms of economic lunacy. He referred to a program of demands recently 'is- sued by the CIO-CCL Hamilton Labor Council, which included old-age pensions, without means test, of $75 a month fOr all makes at age 85 and all females age .60, "The additional-repeat additional- yearly cost of the pension proposal alone," said the speaker, "would be more than $982 million. Old-age pensions are already costing the people of Canada more than $350 million a year, So if the Hamilton Labor Council had its Way, then • the total- yearly pension cost to: Canadians would be hbout, one bil- lion, three hundred and forty mil- lion dollars." The eoonornic danger of such proposals and of Otter gtiveanthent expenditures that are feats, such • as aiding foreign nations, selling wheat and butter to the colimiun" Isla At leas time the cOat of peodue- Hoe, ate., is that they are inflation- ary, adding to everyone's cost of living, and iherettailag the Cost of new inclustriat facilittes Canada Must continually provide to keep level with cernhelitora in world markets, Quoting froth the Stelae) brief to the Gordon Commission, the speaker stud: "Inflation MS so altered the value of the dollar that replacement tests tend to be sub. stantially higher than the arinmilta provided to Meet such NAO."
