The Minister of Finance cannot do as he wants to do. There are certain economic laws which stand straight in front of him.bid•ding him defiance and to those in the end he bows—he must—no matter how fine his purpose, how noble his cour- age. I haven't a doubt that Mr. Abbott would have liked to do a great deal for the farmers but outline for me if you cari the course he could have tak- en, aken, The income: tax is not • an im- portant thing to the farmer. There isa" some criticism because more farmers do not pay income tax. .Some of •this' may be just. The ways of Providence are past finding out sometimes man moves in a slightly mischievous way in his search for justice. Recall what happened in th.e early days of the war. We knew that wage rates would orise,and rise shay. Piy- We knew that there was no way by which they could be controlled. .So we set our course. We bonused certain. farm products, we held down other by controls, Budget makers know that the 1 resent price of farm pro- ducts will not hold indefinitely. In time .inflation ends in, deflation. When fTC#'ffd rfewsr/P/,8,80rY.' SANDY SIMPSON has been patiently improving his dairy herd. He saw his chance to• buy a pure bred bull 'and. the manager of -his bank lent him the ready "cash to clos7e the deal. Now he's expecting great things of his .4ew calf; already he sees her winning her class at next 'year's Fall 'Fair. A few more fike her arta he can also 'see his milk pro- duction 'rising — as well as a nice extra income', from selling his surplus stock to fncigllbouring'farmers. Branch banks, in rural communities .across Canada, help to build -prosperous farms . . and at the same time help :increase the flow of food to family tables both at horlie and in distant lands. - THIS IS ONE INSTANCE of how Canada's 3,200 branch banks play their part in the daily life and work of Canadians. 7 Bhd.NSQiI•ED 61' ,C111Rr 4A.14* tk deflation comes. the price of farm pro, ducts Will fall sharply. Wage rates go up during lunation—in deta.tton, ..real wages rise still 'hig+h.er —prices of farm• preauetti fall, The fai ner' .feels 'that the game is rigged against him. It isn't. It only nteaiia that in the game of life. the farmer rarely holds jlte card's—at times .they may be stae'ked. Still, in the ;lid 1 wonder? He lives a quiet life aea lives Itt 'well. If • he has fair ,intelligence 'lie can't be fired from his Job. That is not true of even the highly paid indus- trial worker. He, at times, goes on the shelf by request''of union officials. This is called a "strike." On the face of it, it would • seem that substantial gains for the 'farm- ers would.. arise from -a reduction in the sales tax. Prices •are moving up, the inflationary urge is still strong. Prices to one man• are 'production costs to another.. Costs, at times, rise fasted' than prices. So long as. the ieflationary pressure is there a reduction in sales tax might quite readily,! be absorbed by rising costs. The consumer' would gain little; he might, in fact, gain, nothing at ell. The exce.ss profittae is- to end on December 31st this year. I•t •is now a bomb with a delayed action fuse. The..averaae man is not anxio,s for it to end; he -thinks 'it falls mainly upon the rich. We have now a com- paratively high price level, sirbstan- tiaily higher than it' was in 1,939. We would like •ta see some measure of decline, at least as a stabilizing fac- tor. The best possible means of bring- ing „about a decline is to let ,profits run for a time. When- profits are high industry will produce more. We Will have more production and even- tually Iower prices. The Minister of Finance must keep his eye on the nubile. He is a slave of the lamp. There . are things he cannot do. Economics .reasoning determines what he says and .what. he does. He would be a very brave man indeed if he acted on impulse rather than rea- son. Hope springs eternal, -progress is not always im a straight line. The things which Mr. Abbott cannot, in reason, do today may be top' priority a year from today. 'The- Minister of Finance' acts with 'hope, believing with every other Minister sof Finance that times will change. His chance is better than most; he's younger. There remains one more difficulty. It's easy 'to shove up costs; more da•f- feint' to cut them down. The people are f�m,ingeadvocates' of reduction of 'expenditures and ardent- supporters of the things which, cause expenditures to rise. The members seek•higher ex- penditures in their own constituen- c•iee,. ,At times. they may be right,., If one group' gains something the pathway is open to another and so ;we go on adding to costs absorbing, in what are often; relatively useless expenditures. money which npigbt' be devoted- to more important tasks. So I write no more budgets; I read them. I wonder what will happen to my friend time farmer. He is by no means the forgotten man. We do many things for him, most of them wrong. These are. the •things which bring the most applause—from the farmer—and from his enemies. ••1 CONSTANCE The 'Conetance...W.M,S. held an op- en meeting on Wednesday, July 2, with •auxiliaries from :Northside Unit- ed •C'hurch, Seaforth, Winthrop and Burns' Church as then ' guests.

The out- standing feature•ef the discussions is an attempt to see behind' the scene of Canada's economic and political welfare for information on, which to base a forecast of the future, All agree that !Canada is more ' Prosper- ous than at any other time and •that her prosperity reaches a larger pro- portion of her people than ever be- fore. The' question iti many minds: Is our prosperity so sohndly based as to give a reasonable guarantee that it will last? Prosperity Based on Production Few dispute that our prosperity is baser, on our production of goods and: services wbich, it is estimated, will •tie more than twelve billion dollars this year—higher than "t.he peak of wartime production. Our debts to other countries are 35 per cent lower than before the wartaiid in 1.9.16 our sales to the world were greater than our purchases.. Can this high level of production and sales—which •means'a high level of employment. be main- tained. Informed observers claim that Canadian purchasing power and a large part of the • big expansion of .industry can continue only if.our•sales• to tether countries are maintained. "If thls)is correct it is clear that the in- terest Canadians hard. been taioing do the Moscow conference of foireign. Ministers, and in Geneva conference an international trade is overwhelm- ingly justified even on the basis 'of our own self interest, because' without • a settlement, of the.European problem and an agreement to lower all bar- riers to trade, the basis of our pres- ent prosperity will be substantially reduced. Communists Disappointed It 'Is obvious that Canada's com- munists and extreme left wtn.gersa are disappointed' at signs of continuing Prosperity. Having predicted a de- pression and mass uneanployment it sometimes appears that they are hop- Ing that cond tiot will come. They make every effort to discourage the hope for world peace and world trade. By centintious talk of disaster and depression they hope to create that Mainition by shaking the confidence of 'our people.

Does Business Get Anything? The Ottawa Journal (Progressive ''Conservative) criticizes the federal. government's budget on' the grottna that "business gets 'little" out of it. Perhaps it is true that business gets little out of it' directly, except .the Abolition of excess• profits tax for next year., Britain 'arid United States both abolished that. tax more than' a year ago. a' Indirectly business got—from the• can on our income taxes—the release of a large amount of buying power, more customers with money to -buy. Business also got some very sound advice from the Minister of Finance which will benefit itself and Cana- dianspricesaslow generally—"keep dines g y p as"••pos'sible." Our American Friends It is ,difficult to find •any. crystalized opinion 'on the questien raised by a former,Secretary of :State of the Unit- ed States: Should .Canada join ,the Pan 'American Union? There are, of course, a few imperialists who believe that such action would be treason to Britain' and to our membership in the British -Commonwealth. There are al- so- 'a few extreme nationalists who 'would welcome the move for that very reason. It is safe to say that neither ot'these views represent any appreci- able n'um'ber of Canadians. The only question, in the minds 'of most observers here is: How can we contribute most to the peace and prosperity of. the world? It is diffi- cult to• see where our present ',posi- tion could be• improved by •joining the western hemisphere organization. Few attempt. to claim that we would have more' influence or prestige as a, mem- ber -than we now it ave; in North and South America; ;s'otne feel that'. we :would actually have less influence than we now have as an independent with influence in both the old' and new worlds.
