Hoffer, reeve of E‘mira, was the unanimous choice for warden of the county for 1933. This was the result of the vote at the inqugural meeting of the county council at the 'cpeulnx session on Tucsday. The motion was moved by Reeve P. A. l Wagner and Reeve A. Suider of Welâ€" lesley and Woolwich townships reâ€" | spectively. The new yarden was | formally _ eworn in by Clerk Sam | Cassel. He succeeds John E. Binge ‘man, reeve of New Hamburg, war | den in 1932 Urges Program of Strict Econâ€" omy at Opening Session of County Council. Warden Hoffer, attired in the robes of office, briefly welcomed the members as well as new members to ; the council board. In his lnaugnral‘ uddress he urged members of the various committees to pare their es-l limates. Last year the eetimates on the road and bridge committee were drastically cut and in spite of it the committee had a good report. As a member of the house of refuge comâ€" mittee for some years Warden Hofâ€" fer said he was sure that this body could cut its estimates particularly in view of the fact of lower commoâ€" dity prices. The finance and properâ€" ty committees could aw~ pare its estimates. Hard work and courage are needed, stated the now warden, ‘n order that we may serve the peoâ€" ple well. Warden Hoffer stated it was interâ€" csting to note that 80 years ago toâ€" day the first official meeting of the county council was held. The popuâ€" lation of the county in those days INFLATION IS NEEDED was small with only towns and vil lages.

Inflation of Canadian currency and placing the dollar on a parity with the English pound has the en @orsation of Mitchell F. Hepburn M.P.., Ontario Liberal leader. Addressing the annual convention of the East Elgin Liberals at Aylmer Friday, Mr. Hepburn declared this etep would alleviate the economic conditione which prevail in Canada toâ€"day. m C w2 Commending the action taken by | : Australia in lowering her tariffs and | inflating her currency, the Ontario | Liberal leader said: "The people Of | { Australia recognized the fallacy of | 1 their policiese and corrected them, | « first by wiping out high tariffe and giving basic producers a chance to lower their production costs; and eecond by inflating their currency. S Sees Realignment ; "‘This", he declared, "is what Caâ€"| Reda must do if present conditfons | are to hbe righted." This monetary question, . the . speakor predicted, would play a big part iu the coming «ession of Parliament, and would reâ€" eult, he thought in parcy divisions. "I look to see a complete realignâ€" ment in Dominion ParMiament when this great economic issue comes up," he said. "Those who stand for the money lorda and the exploiting claeses will be in on> camp, and thoee who stand for the common people will be in the other camp." Taken To Task Reiteration of his statement that the provincial debt had increased | enormously during the past three | years was also made by the speaker. "I have been taken to task for the statements I have made, but I am in a position to know that our provinâ€" cial debt has been increased by more +\ than $100.000,000 in the last three yeare," Mr. Hepbutn sald.

In fact, with $684,000,000 of obligations maturing here and in the United States in 1933, Canada dare not depart from sound money. "What would happen to the credit Mf this country th\t now stands so |high it we wage to inflate?" deâ€" manded Mr. Bennett of his great | Royal York andience. "What would happen to us in the United States where the Canadian dollar is now worth below 90 cents, it if were worth only 50 cents? Who is going to pay that $684,000,000? Shall we default or maintain our proud credit position?" Must Meet Obligations. Little it mattered, stated the Prime Minister, what kind of money one has to play with in Canada, but when international obligations are |to be met, they must be met in the |terms that the creditor K:ovides. "We have to pay or defaultâ€" {ers," said he. "That is the issue. |How can you go out and deliberateâ€" ~\ ly inflate the dollar of this country, knowing as you do that it will make cents or possibly less? What is the effect abroad?
