About Canada
From the Dominion Bureau

FIGHT AGAINST TIME
The feverish tempo of Canada's industrial war effort has become a
fight against' time with little leisure' for such incidentals as meals. A
machinist is here shown in a Canadian gun plant munching away at
his lunch with one hand en the controls of his whirring machine,
The Issue'
Is Simple
Westbrook Pegler, the star col-
umnist of the New York World -Tele-
gram, writes a take -off on the Nazi
propaganda which is directed to-
wards discouraging the United States
from taking defensive steps against
Nazi aggression, from which,. we
quote:
The issue is simple. It has been
shown that aggressive mations which
prepare to attack Adolf Hitler bring
down upon themselves' the most ter-
rible revenge. It has been shown, too,
that no nation may persecute ' with
impunity those among rits population
who strive to create good relations
with the Fuehrer and his comrade in
arms, Joseph Stele. Therefore, it is
plain that. the only safe policy for
the United States is to accept the
leadership of - the German -American
National Alliance and the Commun-
ist party, which are bravely oppos-
ing the efforts of the warmongers to
create a great military power.
If we maintain good relations with
Hitler and Stalin what need have we
of a great army acid navy? As long
as they are strong they will stand
ready to shield the American people,
especially from the misrule of the
warmongers, and unless' we change
our course the tinge will' surely come
when they will feel compelled to do
for us what they did for the people
of Poland, for example. •
If we maintain good relations with
teem we may spare ourselves the
cost of arming and soldiering, and
even of domestic police work, for
they have highly efficient detective
and strong-armstaffs, some of whom,
doubtless, are at work among us al-
ready, seeking to prevent the folly
of our militaristic leadership.
It is dangerous for us to persecute
and discriminate against those great-
hearted patriots of, the Bund, the Al-
liance and the Communist party who
are loyally opposed to the will of the
warmongers. Hitler and Stalin will
not like it, and if a reckoning is forc-
ed upon them they will liberate us,
help us to establish, our own govern-
• - HEATING WITH WOOD .
Canadian householders can help to
conserve foreignexchange for war
purchases by the increased use of
,wood for domestic heating purposes,
and at the same time reduce their
annual expenditure for fuel.
Each year for domestic consumqi-
tion in Canada, quite apart from, in-
dustrial' uses, about 3,400,000 tons of
anthracite coal and about 1,80'0,000
tons of bituminous coal are imported;
In addition, homes equipped with oiI'
burners necessitate the importation
of a considerable quantity of crude
oil from which fuel oil is derived.
Under present conditions, when every
effort is being expended to conserve
foreign exchange, it is .important that
Canada's outlay for imported fuels be
reduced by drawing on her abundant
resources in fuel from low grade
wood, sawmill waste, sawdust and
other such material to as great ani
extent as possible.
At Present Canada uses approxi-
mately 10 million cords of wood, a
year, for domestic fuel. This exceeds
the quantity cut for either sawlogs
o; pulpwood, and is equal in, heat va-
lue to about 6,600,000 tons of anthra-
cite. Effective heat obtained from
cords of good hardwood is equiv-
alent to the, beat obtained from one
ton of anthracite coal.
While burning wood may entail
more work and inconvenience in
stoking than some other fuels, in
most cases a substantial saving can
be made by its use. Important ad-
vances have been made in- recent
years hi the manufacture of stoves
and gurnaces for burning wood, and,
in the development of sawdust burn-
ers. As a aneasure of national econ
omy-,.• increased reliance on Canadian,

rnent, under their protection, and
punish the warmongers for their false
leadership. ..
Meanwhile the patriotic course for
true Americans is to refuse'to submit
to conscription, to resist by every
means the effort to rearm, to de-
rounce the warmongers \and to bear
in mind 'the fate which befell those
European nations which; under the
power of the plutocrats and warseek-
ers, interferred with organizations
nice the Bund, the Alliance. and the
Communist party in their efforts to
coreiliate the great peaceful forces of
Europe.

talled, only 8,627 people with about

If the a government decided on a
policy of soaking the rich even to the
point of confiscation, it could not pay
for the war. All the incomes of Can-
ada above $10,000 totalled less than
$200,000,000 in 1939. Out of this the
government already is taking a size-
able chunk; most of the very largest
incomes. If it were to take the re-
mainder it could not pay :'more than
a few weeks' expenses in a war cost-
ing close to four minions a day.
For example, the entire income of
all Canadians making $50,000 a year
would only run the war.for two days,
and already the government is taking
a large part of it.
p
Thus the government is forced in-
evitably to find its money among the
little men whiz haven't much individu-
ally, but together are the real finan-
cial strength of the nation. This is
not peculiar to Canada. In Britain
Geoffrey. Crowther, editor of Econom-
ist and one of the most eminent liv-
ing authorities, says .in a new book:
"Few people realize how little income
the rich have left after they have paid
their taxes.-. . . If the state decid-
ed, over and above the existing tax-
es, to take every penny over £2,000
($8,500) a year, so that nobody should
have a net income higher than that
figure, it would only get . . . about
£57,500,000. ,Clearly there is not
much more to be got from the in-
comes of the rich."
That would be only • enough: to
pay Britain's war cost for five or
six days.
All this is not to argue that our
present taxation system is equitable,
or that the rich should not carry a
larger share Of the load. On the
contrary, the taxation system is in-
equitable, vicious and, in Mr. Ilsley'.3
own words, a "jumble," and it will
remain so until the provinces and the
Dominion get together and make a
better .arrangement. .Meanwhile, the
poor inevitably are penalized, -chiefly
through invisible taxes. But with
the most equitable system in . the
world, and no matter how much the
rich' are soaked, it will still remain
true that only the little man can pay
for the war.
