Our 'Conservative friends are go- . laig about the country these days Preaching "It's time for a change." iff I know Canadianee ehey are go- ing to ask "A change? A change 'from what to what? What kind of Change are we going to get? And. What will it do to us?" Now as to this, the Leader of the Conservative party has already pro- vided part of the answer. He says, end he is obviously right, that there is no other party to change to, except the Conservative Party; for there seems little chance of any other opposition party forming a government after the next elec- tion. So part of the change the 'Conservatives are arguing for is a change from Prime Minister St. Laurent to MrGrge Drew. No doubt some of( th Conservative optimism in this regard is inspired eby the Met that in the United States the Republicans said it was time for a change . . and there was a change. Maybe it was tixne, for a change there. That is their business. Make Own Decisions But we Canadians don't have to copy the Americans. We have to make our own decisions on the basis of our own facts. And there certainly seems a vast difference between the change from Truman to Eisenhower in the United States and the change flame St. Laurent to Drew in Canada. The editor of one of our leading Canadian. news- papers, Mr. Charles Woodsworth, in a broadcast some few weeks ago summed .this up in • five words, "George Drew is no Eisenhower." Although this broadcast was in spots critical of the government, as 'several which you have ,no doubt heard have been, sometimes severe- ly so, Mr. Drew at once attacked it and the government for permit- ting CBC to treoadcast it. Mr. Drew takes a dark view of the broadcasting views with which he disagrees. Only last week Mr. Drew jumped up in the House of Commons on what he wrongle, claimed was a point of privilege, to demand that the Speaker and the government should discipline Michael Barkway, a respected member of the Parliament Press Gallery. Why? Simply because Mr. Barkway in. aa-Cepitol Report broadcast, had corrected some -etatements of fact in the Currie Report and Mr. Drew did, not ap- prove of what Mr. Barkway had said. The Prime Minister had to remind Mr. Drew that we still have freedom of speech in Canada. Is it really time for a change from our present Prime Minister to one who apparently, believes that the government in • a free country should control and censor the ex- pression of .opinion over the radio? I doubt it. Recently we all feared that there would be a nationwide railway strike. There seemed little hope of avoiding one, uhtil Prime Minis- ter St. Laurent intervened. With- in a fairly short time after the parties to the dispute got together with the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Labour and Transport, the dispute was settled; and the • representatives of the railway workers and the railways had such confidence in. Mr. St. Laurent, they • asked him, not as Prime Minister, but simply as a man in whose judg- ment and integrity they bad confi- dence, to choose alone the sole referee to settle the one point on w,hich they could not agree: Is it time for a change from such a man to Mr. Drew?

You know that after a number of years of Liberal Government, today is at the very apex of her progress and prosperity. Indeed, Mr. Drew himself has admitted that we are prosperous and that we have a great future. But that was when he was speaking in New York. That is not the way he talks in Canada. Now we know that Canada's prosperity has been aehieired in a world that is not very prosperous. Hence we may ask, do evert the Tories themselves think it is time for a change from Canada's present prosperity? Of course, one of the foundations of Canada's prosperity is our vast resources which are rapidly open- ing up year by Year. , Another is that Canadians are skilful, hard- working, enterprising and thrifty. Another is the faith of other coun- tries, particularly the United King- dom and. the United States, and their peoples, in the future of Can- ada. But as numerous statements by public men and editors of these other countries prove, there is just no doubt that one important rea- son for our prosperity is the kind of government we have had in Canada in recent years. As the great British Journal, "The Econo- mist," puts it, °ray last July: "Canada is not merely favored with abundant natural resources. It has had the good sense—or the good luck—to provide itself with good government. Its economic af- fairs - have been handled with a skill unexampled throughout the world." Rise in Trade, Income When the Liberals came into of- fice in 1935, we were still in the depths of a depression from which the Conservative policies of Mr. Bennett had failed to lift us. Three weeks after raking office Mr. Mac- kenzie King bad reversed Mr. Ben- nett's. Tory policy of blasting our way into -world markets. by making a- two-way trade agreement with the United States, followed in rapid succession by some twenty other such trade agreements with other countries. Since that time Cana- dian trade and Canadian income have gone up every year. Is it time for a change, back to the Tony pol- icy of blasting our tvay into the oha.nnels of trade? Of. do we pre- fer the trade of pur present Minis- ter of Trade and Commerce, C. D. Howe, who at this very minute is on a trade mission to South Ameri- ca in an effort to' still further in- crease the trade with that contin- ent which we have already in -creas- ed by no less than 18 times, that is, 1800 per cent, since 1939. The Conservatives, of couree, never mention Mr. Bennett's trade policies and doubtless would like us to forget all about them. But, if it is time for a change, what kind of trade policies do they wish to change to? So far they have not told us. Surely if they want us to change they should tell us to what. Last fall Mr. Drew made a trip to England to. study atfirst hand the problems of trade with Britain and the sterling area. He appear- ed on the public platform in Lon- don with men there v, -ho want. to put high tariff walls around the British Commonwealth so that its members may trade with one an- other, and let the rest of the world go by. It is true that in these appearances Mr. Drew was just as cagey about what he said on this matter as he has been in commit- ting himself to anything definite in Canada. But he did say when be got home that the Canadian Gov- ernment must remove the road blocks Which binder dollar sterling trade. Unpopular Roadblocks Well, I can tellryou that this Government would also like to see these roadblocks removed. but the real trouble is ... and it is strange indeed if Mr. Drew does not know this . . . that these are not Cana- dian roadblocks put there by the Canadian government. They are British roadblocks put there by the British Government because it was short of dollars. The British gov- ernment doesn't like these road- blocks either, and we are trying with them now to work out some way of removing them. But in the course of doing so, Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Abbott when in London last fall, didn't appear on any plat- form with those in. Great Britain who want to restrict trade as far as they can to Commonwealth countries, along the lines of Mr. Bennett's Empire preferences of 1932. Mr, St. Laurent and Mr. Abbott told Great Britain and the other Commonwealth countries that we Wish to clo everything we could to help them get back intO a position to trade freely, with Canada and other free 'etientries. Since the Prime Minister and Mr. Abbott were in London the British have bought tome cheese and are buy- ing some beep& That, we hope, is only a start in the right direction. Is it, ask you, time for a change from trade policies which have got and are getting Us markets for what we produce, to Tory policies which they take care not to ex- plain to us, but which we have good reason to suspect are just the same old policy of protection and restriction? The Conservatives keep saying that Canadians' are ,overtaxed, and they would change all that. They seem to base this statement upon the fact that we ha,ve had surplus- es every year since the war. How did these surpluses come about? Was it because our tax rates were higher than those of other coun- tries? The other day in the House of Commons I examined the rates of certain comparable income tax- es in Canada with those of com- parable countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, A -use tralia and New Zealand. What did the comparison show? It showed that our rates were lower than those of any of the other countries on incomes below $5,000.00, and that on incomes above that figure they were somewhat higher than those of the United States, but sub- stantially lower than those of the other countries named. Higher Incomes But these rates which compare Itavorably with these other coun- tries have been imposed upon the very high incomes of the Canadian people, and that is where the sur- pluses have come from. - The fact is that every year since the war the income of the Canadian people has eeexi larger than the Minister of Finance and his advisers • have even dared to hope they would be. The result has been that, having higher incomes, we have paid more in taxes than Mr. Abbott expected to get.- And what is the dreadful thing that' the Government has done with this unexpectedextra revenue? We - have used it to pay off some $2.2 billion of the national debt, that is, about $150.00 for every man, wo- man and child in Canada, and are therebydsaving 360 millions of dol- lars per year in interest, now and forever. as compared with what we would have to pay if we had not retired this -debt. The figures show that millions. of Canadians are us- ing their present high incomes to pay off their own mortgages and other debt. If it is wise for them to do this, is it not wise for their government to lift, as it has done, $150.00 of war debt off every Man, Woman and child in Canada? Sure- ly you prefer that to a government which would addto the national deb.t which we all have to carry. What our Conservative friends do not tell you is that after the war this Government reduced the. taxes every year until the Korean ag- gression; and that since that time Canada, along with the other free countries, has had to increase tax- es to pay for the steps which all of the free countries are taking in an effort to prevent. another world war. That does not mean that we do not want taxes lower. Surely no - bode thinks the Liberal Govern- ment is foolish enough to keep tax- es up just to annoy the Canadian people. On the contrary, the uee to which we have put our surplus- es in paying off well over $2 billion of war debt is one way of making, tax reductions possible. Which of the Two? Let us look for a moment at some of the Tory promises to re- duce taxes. And at the same time let us look at some of the promises they have been making even more freely of more and higher expendi- tures. Recently in the House of Commons, the Prime Minister add- ed up the cost of some of these Tory promises, They came to be- tween $600 and $700 millions per year over and above the items in our present budget. What do the Tories take you for? Everyone knows they can't reduce taxes and increase expenditures at the same time. Which of these two promisee do they expect to believe? Which, indeed, de they believe theta:deletes?

Whenever you are disappointed with an old, old favorite recipe, remember that our manufacturers are continuality improving their product and this may be the reason for the differ- ence. In cake making, for instance, the flour has more elasticity, as tural resources that has ever tak- en place in Canadian history, and to do our fair there in the enor- mous effort which is being put forth by the free. countries to pre- vent a third world war; and to do all of these things on the basis of tax rates that at their present lev- els compare very favorably, indeed With the other free countries, 1 have named. Do you think it is wise for us to change trade , policies which have increased our trade steadily year by year since the present govern!. ment came into power, and by larg- er increases since the war, in spite of the fact that we had to trade then with a war -shattered world? And speaking of trade, do you think it is wise to trade Mr. St. Laurent for Mr. Drew as Prime Minister of our country? When our Conservative friends are advocating that it is time for a change, these are the kind of changes they are asking you to make. May I say in conclusion that this questien is, perhaps the moat important question you will have to answer in 1953. The an- swer will have a great bearing in- deed upon you and your family and all other Canadians. It should have the most careful attention you can give it; for the wrong answer could be very costly ,indeed for Canada. well as goodness, and we now have two blended shortenings and more plastic qualities in fats.
