Some Members write weekly News Letters to all the weekly newspapers in their Ridings. I have never done this. I do make reports on the Radio each month during the session, on what takes place in Parliament. These Radio Reports reach an ever increas- ing number of people. The listening pudic have to be educated as to when these talks take place in order to have their radio turned on, In other words, there isn't much use in mailing a speech unless you have an audience. Some people depend on the radio to keep abreast of the news of the clay. Others read the daily paper. Others who are less for- tunate depend on the weekly papers. It is for the benefit of those who de- pend on the weekly newspapers that I have prepared this summary of what has taken Place in Parliament during the past session. I sin sure that you will agree it has been a long drawn out session, start- ing last November 12 and lasting al- most to the last of June. Years ago Parliament would only sit about three months of the year. True, the salar- ies weren't very large, but taking in - to account the difference in the length of time Parliament sits, Pm not so sure but what the Members were just about as well paid then as they are now, even at the increase. It is no wonder administration costs are mounting year by year. This last year Defence spending was down 126 million dollars, but non -defence spending' was up to the extent. of 86 million dollars. The ery was that so long as we were spending so much money on defence, there was no chance of any reduction in taxes, but when defence spending was down 126 million, surely the Canadian tax- payer was entitled to some relief, at least. There has only been one year in Canadian history when Parliament sat longer than in this 1953-64 ses- sion. Taking into consideration the terrific cost of keeping Parliament open even by the hour, is it any won- der taxes keep on going up and up. the theOppositionget course Of rs blame for holding up the business of the House, but while that may be true in part, nevertheless that isn't the reason for the delay. The main reason is lack of proper coordination by the Government in bringing in their legislation in a suitable form 3 BIG NIGHTS SEAFORTH LIONS 19TH ANNUAL SUMMER 1 LIONS PARK, SEAFORTH[ WEDNESDAY - J0LY1415 THURSDAY - FRIDAY1 6 BINGO - GAMES -- BANDS -- FERRIS WHEEL Merry -go -Round.

High costs mean high prices. If we are to cor rect this situation then it is up to all of us to work together to that end, It is impossible to hold the economy in balance with agricultural prices, still declining, We have reached the end of Government Estimates, and not one Department of Government has lowered its administration coats. I will leave that last thought with. you to study. onee country uction without affecting extent ectingtle other. Last year was election year in Canada. We had a slight reduction in taxes. In other words, we had an Election Budget last year. This year we weren't expecting to get much relief in taxes, and very few changes nwere thout he - told, made. h tut iswe know, (dropping off. The only thing that hasn't drop- ped is Government spending. Reports indicate that production is down on metal mining, coal inning, as am whole. etal mining durabd le nufaeturing manufact- ures, anufac -ures, dairy. products, wheat flour, rubber products, tanneries, textiles, clothing, coke and gas products; dur- able ood prvoducts, iron and steel,non Tion -ferrous s metal et electric power. Youno-metallic willodnote and that these products I have mentioned cover a great deal of our economy, notwithstanding the Minister of Fin- ance making a surprisingly buoyant assumption that the upturnelit more in e e second half of the year than compensate for the decline which has been evident in certain branches of industry since the be- ginning of the calendar year. His op- timism was based on an upturn in the United States. It is all very well to be optimistic, but the fact remains that we face a continued' rise in non - defence expenditures by the Govern- ment, while at the salve time we find private business in general, retrench- ing. On the ether hand we find the United States cutting expenditures by 7 billion dollars last year, and again this year they expect to make a further cut of 5 billion. In other words, the United States have wak- ened up to the seriousness of the sit- uation. Taking a look at our Civil Service pay -roll, both permanent and tempor- ary, employees increased from 118,- 000 in 1945 to 135,000 in December of 1953. The pay -roll rose from 226 million to 360 million, an increase of 134 million dollars. hardly a week passes but what some new board or commission is set up. A new office opened, a staff hired. While this adds thousands to Government pay -rolls, it certainly does not add much to Government efficiency. All through the Budget Speech the Finance Min- ister was reminding producers that they must bring down the cost of production in order to compete with trade from other countries, but failed to give any relief in taxation to in- dustry in order that they, in turn, could cut costs. When you have cases such as European competitors tend- ering 50% below Canadian tenders, and in another case, 22% below, the Finance Minister's comments on this was that some m are finding industries they have not been watching costs as carefully as they should. Then in the next breath, lie stated that he did not think current slow -downs would be serious or prolonged. The up -ris- ing in the second half of the year would more than compensate for the declines that are evident in certain branches of industry at present. When one considers that not one bushel of the 1953 wheat crop is sold yet, and on top of that 127 mil- lion bushels of the 1952 crop is still in the hands of the Wheat Boards, and taking into account that we have had a 23% drop in farm income since 1951, while the things the farm- er has to (buy are up 4%, you will realise the Canadian economy just cannot hope to balance on this sort of thing; regardless of what anyone wants to tell you, the farmer still holds the barometer of the Canadian economy in balance. When hard times hit the farmer, everyone suffers. We in Canada must have exports. Our huge carry-over of wheat is a. good example of why it is so necessary to export our surpluses, The burden of taxation has been so heavy in Cana- da that we have priced ourselves out of the world markets. Excise tax, sales tax, income tax, all help to shove up costs- of production not- withstanding the easing of defence spending, Mr. Abbott is collecting $70,000,000.00 more taxes than he did last year. It matters not how much you collect if you keep spend - mg more than you collect. For in- stance; why should we be subjected to a 10% sales tax now, that hits every last man, woman and child in the cost of living. We are bound by necessity to pare down in our spend- ing in order to snake ends meet. Sure- ly it is time for the State to follow suit and do a little of the same thing. Farmers, at any rate, are at the breaking point, and every other walk of life will follow. Partners are always the first to feel the pinch, and the last to get the advantage of an increase, I bring these observa- tions to your attention to help culti- vate your thinking, and goodnes knows it is time most of us were do- ing more of our own thinking. It is only ordinary common sense that if farmers are to be expected to buy the products of our factories in any- thing like the same volume as in previous years, prices must become more attractive to them. Manufacturers have been faced with higher costs; with high priced labour on one hand, and increased prices of raw material on the other. so that it can be dealt with in an or- derly fashion. Too much time is lost by the Government bringing in piece meal legislation, bit by bit. It is the Opposition's job to scrutinize every last piece of legislation as it comes before the House. That is what Op- positions are for. That is the one and only way we can retain a.democr'acy; otherwise we would have a dictator- ship. Because of the fact that the Opposition are so few in number, the Government are able to do almost as they like, regardless of opinions raised by the Opposition. However, this session has been noted for the effect the Opposition has had at times on the Government, pointing out defects and at times having these defects corrected. This is Canada's twenty-second Parliament. Each new Parliament. after. a general election sends to Ot- tawa fresh enthusiasm, new ideas, new faces with eager interest; thus wea h ve aro p cess of rejuvenation instilled into. Members' which keeps Parliament forever young and for- ever hopeful. The first task of any new Parlia- ment is to elect a Speaker, This was done and L. Rene Beaudoin was chosen, and I (night add, turned out to be one of the best Speakers we have had, in my time at any rate. The Throne Speech read to Parlia- ment at the opening, is supposed to contain and outline the Government programme for the year. The Throne Speech of this Parliament had very little in it, in fact it was more noted for what it did not contain than what it did. After reading the Throne Speech we thought for once that we were in for a very short session, but as it turned out we have had one of the longest in history. That was where the Government fell down. Instead of having the proposed legislation con- tained hi the Throne Speech, noth- ing was ready and the result has been delay after delay, week in and week out. One of the Highlights of last session was the visit of Presi- dent Eisenhower of the United States. He was a guest of the Gover- nor General, which included a dinner in his honour, with about one hund- red guests comprised of the Prime Minister and his cabinet, a very few Members of Parliament, diplomats and high Government officials, After the dinner a reception was held for three hundred persons, and this did not include Members of the Official Opposition. It was purely a Govern- ment show. President Eisenhower, in his ca- pacity as head of a nation which has reached to a supremacy of power, de- livered a speech to the House of Com- mons and the Senate, devoid of cruelty, treachery, or anything of that nature, so often accompanying a man in his powerful position. Amer - leans have been spoken of as a peril to world peace, but Dwight D. Eisen- hower, with his shining sincerity, is a powerful antidote to sueh a thought. It was good to hear him re-echo words uttered on Canadian soil some years ago by Franklin D. Roosevelt when he said, speaking of Canadian and American relations, "Each can rely upon every resource of the other in days of crisis. Nothing will cor- rupt the Canadian -American part- nership; our purpose is defence", said the President, "we have no other aim".
