OVEN MEALS
Bello Homemakers! To plan an
On meal, begin with the meat or
pier main dish, then choose vege-
tables and a dessert wthich will cook
Well at the tentp.erature, best for the
*lain dish. Moderate temperature
providep adequate heart for all the
products, tender cuts of meat, cheap-
er cuts of meats, meat loaf, fish, etc.
*
The best vegetables for oven meals
are those which are least affected by
differences in cooking times and tem-
peratures. 'ions estn always depend
on pirtatoes (white or sweet),
rots, beets, turnips, parsnips, onions
and squash. (Delicate green vege-
tables and those belonging to the cab-
bage family have more attractive col-
our and flavour whenethey .are cook-
ed on top of the range. Since this is
such a speedy process on, these
green vegetables are usually omitted
from oven meals).

CUT COARSE FOR THE PIPE
OLD CHUM,
11T FINE FOR CIGARETTES
With a variety of foods cooking at
one time you must expect a certain
amount of steam in the oven. (Too
much steam means too low tempera-
ture). For this reason, it is best not
to bake delicate cakes or pie shells
with the oven meals. However, there
are dozene of delicious desserts—
date, mincemeat or fruit puddings,
stuffed -baked fruits for long-time
meals; deep crust pies, cobblers, gin-
gerbread, upside-down cakes — for
short -time meals.
* * * •
The New Technique in.Cooking Meals
1. Choose foods that cook well at
the same temperature.
2. When using time clock, choose
foods that can wait several hours in
cold oven, and will cook in about the
same time.
3. For preheated oven, adjust the
racks while they are cold.
4. Roast tender cuts of meats in a
shallow uncovered pan, without ad. -l-
ing water. Place on lower rack and
basting is unneeessarY.
5. Bake browned -me -top desserts in
uncovered pans and place on upper
rack.
6. Oven -steam vegetables in pans
with tight covers. Cover bottom of
pan with water. Add salt to water,
instead of sprinkling on vegetables.
7. To allow- circulation of heat,
place pans so they, do not touoh each
eater er sides, of oven, hereanget them
On reeks so that no pan is directly
over another.
• 8. Placing of products in the ov-
en to ensure even cooking is as fol-
lows; Put the roast of meat and pan
of vegetables to be baked on the bot-
tom shelf, and the vegetahles or
fruits to be steamed on a higher shelf
along with the casserole of dessert.
Why oven meals? It means time
out of the kitchen when you want it
most and saving when using sine ele-
ment in the well -insulated electric
range.
Requirements
(a) An Inexpensive small shallow
roast pan allows the moist, control-
led beet of the electric oven to
brown meats •without stealing their
juices, without a cover. No water le
necessary—nor basting.
Vegetable pans should have
straight sides and tight covers. Cov-
ers that do not fit tightly allow too
much steam to escape, so that vege-
tables may dry out, and sometimes
scorch. The puddings are baked in
glass dishes which may be placed on
the •table. Some puddings need core
ered dishes (usually those that re-
quire longer than two hours baking)„,
(b) No special recipes are neces-
sary—Allow a tender roast (with
bone in e.g. standing rib roast) 35
minute's per pound (if started in a
cold oven).
The cooking time for vegetables is
about three times as long as on the
top of range, so cut them into small
cubes or slices if the oven meal •'s
to be cooked, in 1 hour or I% hours.
Leave them larger for longer cooking
time. Fruits my be stewed in a pan.
with cover on the upper rack in your
oven.

Hepburn would use the round table
conference as a sounding board to

words "criticiii) Canada's war effort"

conceivable but highly probable that
Mr. Hepburn, would seize the oppor-

Toronto Star thinks there might be
possibilities in ,such a conference "if
there were certainty as to Mr. Hep -

adds, "he would act in a less bellig-

own suggestion."
Or in other words, if Mr. Hepburn
were humored by being allowed to
think that he was running things, he
might for a change act in a decent
and reasonable manner.

leading up to this demand' strongly

his blood -feud with Mr. King for a
moment when any appearance of dis-
unity between Ontario and Canada
at large would have maximum possi-

create. To some extent the guessed
right. In one respect the Dominion
Government medified its taxation pro-
posals. by- giving up a levy that was
in itself just and proper, in, a vain
hope of placating Mr. Hepburn.
On April 29, Me Ilsley announced
the Dom'inion's policy of war taxation,.
Its scope was within the Dominion
power but it extended taxation "'to
fields that had hitherto been left to
the provinces. It had been evident
from the moment that Canada enlarg-
ed her war effort in 1940 that the'Do-
minion would have to make use of
its full powers of taxation; and that
this, would create complications for
the provinces. The DominionrProvin-
ciai Conference of January was call-
ed in the hope that there would be
an- adjustment of taxing powers on
mutually acceptable terms; but rol-

lowing its collapse the Dorainion
found itself obliged to work out a
taxation programme that would meet
the war needs , of . the country. To
avoid? double taxation•in the fields of
,income tax and succession duty' into
vehich it found itself forced', the Do-
minion Government offered to pay
compensation in cash to the provine?
es for taxation foetegone. This was
declared to be an, arrangement deem-
ed necessary by the exigencies of the
war which would lapse with the com-
ing of peace.
This war taxation programme
has been approved by Parliament and
will come into full effect with the ad-
journhag of Parliament this week. To
make it possible for the Dominion
Government to recompense the prov-
inces for their lost revenue, Parlia-
ment ,,has made an initial vote of
45,000000. The taxation policy, upon
which the war effort of the Dominion
depends, is thus in actual operation;
and is being relied upon to provide
necessary revenues for our war ef-
fort.
Mr. Hepburn's proposition to hold
a conference would destroy this pro-
gramme and put nothing M its ,place
for a period of weeks. pending the re-
assembling of Parliament to give ef-
fect to an agreed-upon policy—assum-
ing that agreement could be •reached,
which would be highly improbable,
since this 'would .involve co-operation
by Mn. Hepburn.
The Consequences of Delay
'This course would bring chaos into
the country's plans, for financing the
war.
If ' Mr. Hepburn's proposi6nn had
been made in deasonable terms
im-
me.diately following Mr. "Haley's an-
nouncement of policy, something
might have been said in its favor;
but in the delay in time, in the form
in' which it came, and in the devious
preliminaries which led up to it, the
hand.and mind of the wrecker aie re-
vealed.
Mr. Hepburn kept silent for a
month, though he knew it was 'the in-
tention to adjourn Parliament in ear-
ly June. When he opened fire it was
upon the Provision increasing the
rate of an existing tax upon bonds
held outside Canada from 5 to 15 per
cent. This tax, of course, applied to
all the provinces, but from Mr. Hen -
burn's protest, as voiced in: an abu-
sive telegram to Mr. King, one would
think this had been designed for the
special injury of Ontario.
If the Dominion Government, he ob-
servedin his typical conciliatory
style, "prosecuted the war with the
same meanness and cussedness as it
has persecuted, Ontario, we would
have a war record of which we would
be proud." That sentence gives, the
measure of Mr. Hepburn.
This tax, to which such violent b-
jection was' taken, was declared 'to
be both just and reasonable by the
Financial Rost of Torento. It' said
further:
"Whether it is an eatnedient tax is
another .matter. But it cannot be
criticized on grounds of equity. It is
a. tax which is charged' .similarly by
the .1..Tnited •' States. The principle
has been in general use, in Canadian
tax legislation since 1933, and there
is no record that Ontario ever , pro-
tested it before. Only' the amount of
the tax is now changed (from 5 to
15 per cent) in line With the greatly'
increased taxation • of interest earn-
ings and income of Canadian citizens.
With this view Toronto Saturday
Night was in agreement; and it ex-
pressed its surprise at Mr. Hepburn's
willingness to spend Ontario money
in resisting the law:
'At/thpresent momen'
e t the use, of
provincial- funds to assist foreign
„
bondholders in avoiding the burden
of a moderate contribution to Can-
ada's war financing seems to us -"o
be slightly iinnatriotic. It is of
course possible to represent it as due
to a passionate devotioru to the
sacredness of contractual obligations,
but the present Ontario Government
shdiy eaatitled to take' that atti-
tude."
Mr. King in his conciliatory reply.
to ,Mr. Hepburn's violently worded
protest, defended the propriety and
legality of the tax
It is sufficient perhaps to say that
after again reviewing the Whole nat-
ter we are as strongly as ever of the
opinion that this tax measure is a
fair and reasonable one; that it In-
volves only an increase in a tax
which has been in effect since 1933
without protast from the Province of
Ontario; that the proposed. rate of
tax, is low as. compared not only with
axes imposed on other income earn -
d in Canada, but also with similar
axes on income going to non-resi-
ents Imposed by countries of which
ur foreign bondholders are citizens;
at it constitutes no threat to the
edit of Ontario or of any' other
'evince, and that the tax is validly
posed and can be enforced. ,

Something Like Blackmail
Nevertheless this tax—thus com-
pletely justified — was abandoned,
Why? Because of a successful ven-
ture in blaelthiall by Mr. Hepburn. In
his telegram to Mr. King, Mr. Hep-
burn said:
"I deem it my duty to inforni you
that this, your latbet irritating act

these means of telling the people of
Ontario that he intended to impose
upon the mheavy and unnecessary
double taxation if Mr. Kingpersist-
ed in his "-latest irritatiog act." Fear-
ful of the effect of this threat upon
the success of the loan, the Domin-
ion Government proceeded to remove
the "irritation" which had led Mr.
Hepburn, according to his own state-
ment, into taking his childish and
mischievous attitude.
This was blackmail, plain and una-
bashed, but in view of the large pub-
lic interests at stake, Mr. King sub-
mitted to it.
telegram to lir. Hepburn he
said:
"It is a matter of particular regret
to us that under such condititits the
Government of Ontario should feel it
necessary to regard the increase in
this tax on foreign bondholders as a
reason for refusing to accept the of-
fer made to the provinces in the Do-
minion budget. Were the matter to
be left in this position, the citizen
of Ontario would be prevented by pro-
spective' double taxatioli of their in-
comes from making as large sub-
scriptions to the Victory Loan, to be
offered on Monday next, anotherwise
they would be able and willing 1.o
make.
In view of these considerations and
in order as quickly as possible to
Clarify the situation, we Vesuki. be

held by foreign:bondholders provided
the ,Government of Ontario on :ts
part would be prepared to give the
Dominion prompt assurance Of its
willingness to accept the offer made
to the provinces in the•Dominion bud-
get."
This sacrifice of needed recenue by
the withdrawal of a tax that was just,
proved a useless concefsion.
So far from it removing the irra-
tional irritation which had. led Mr.
Hepburn to his threat of sabotage,
it added to it.
In a new tirade of abuse and
thteats, he sought to .give a sinister
interpretation to the action of the Do-
minion Government—it was, he pre-
tended, . an attempt to make an un-
worthy deal by the employment of
something like bribery. It was nec-
essary for Mr. Ilsley to put she mat-

the offer of co-operation which is
contained in the telegram of the
Premier of Ontario, to meet him on
his own ground and do what he said
in order to remove the ground ad-
vanced by him for the Province of
Ontario not accepting this offer.
The wording. of this statement is
careful and exact. The Dominion
Government had met Mr. Hepburn on
his own. grounds, and had removed
the only reason which hohad given
for his refusal to agree to the Do-
minion's taxation programme — an
agreement that was necessary to per-
mit the Victory Loan appeal to be
made in Ontario under maximum fav-
orable coniditions.
Haiing achieved the objective of
his blackmailing manoeuvre, Mr. Hep-
burn welched upon bis part of his
own proposition.
What his purpose was 'can be per-
haps a matter of opinion; but about
its effect there can be no 'dispute: it
put obstacles in the way, of a maxi-
mum Victory Loan effort in Ontario
—since it held up before "the people
the threat of wilful and unnecessary
double taxation.
Why Believe in the Wrecker?
Before Mr. Hepburn had proceeded
to these extremes, the -FinancialePost
of Toronto had seen,' in his opposi-
tion to the 15 per cent tax, evidence
of his "continued refusal to co-oper-
ate on the major Jessie of finding the
most effective tax 'programme for
prosecuting the war." This it de-
scribed as inexcusable, adding :
"There are scarcely a. handful of pea -
1 le in' Canada who do not resent his
refusal to extend co-operation in war
finance."
• This being the record, there is
plenty of ground for wondering how'
the Toronto Globe and Mail can bring
itself to say that it is inconceivable
that Mr. Hepburn would put the con-
ference, which he ,now demands, to
wrecking purposes. Rather it would
justify replacing the judgment in the
earlier part of this article by the
severer opinion that it is not merely
probable but certain that his purpose,
in seeking the conference ie, to make
further mischief.
To meet his demand would be to
create a profound disturbance in Can-
ada's war finance; not to meet it will
give him another imaginary griev-
ance and supply another opportunity
for him to display his native com-
mand of the language of the gutter.
If a conference is tp be held, with a
reasonable prospect' that it will fur-
ther national unity and, facilitate co-
operation, it ifl have to meet under
different iuspices--at the instance of
governments about whose desire to
further these ends there can be no
question.
