Sir John said. "When the new taxes were announced the Canadian Reconstruction Assodietion instituted a careful and detail dialysis and a comparison with the 1 • -seise measures in the United States. was found that the Canadian taxes apply to a much larger number of commodit- ies than do similar taxes in the United States, that the non-taxable limits are lower in many cases in Canada than in the United States that the Canadian rates are higher and that the Canadian legislation also differs from that of the Republic in the fact that the Ameri- can levy in most cases is not on the entire retail selling price of the tax. able comtnidities but only de that part of the retail selling price in excess of specified exemptions. As ' result, the 'Canadian taxes lb some instances are many times higher than those collected south of the. boundary. It was found moreover, that Genuflect taxation is heavier than that in effect In any similar country in the world.
