The conâ€" sensus of Ottawa political opinion seems to be that the present mood‘ of Canada is that this is "the day of the State", and that the Governâ€" ment intends even to raise the ante on some of the proposals of the "collectivists". It was not unexâ€" pected that an elaborate social welâ€" fare program would be outstandâ€" ing in the speech, but it was not expected that the Government would go so far in distributing Caâ€" nadian wealth and offer so few sugâ€" geiti{t;i%n how greater wealth, in ~_order ay for the new schemes, can be created. hostilities Despite the fact that Canada hasi had its mind attuned to glib referâ€" ences to astronomical sums from: Ottawa, the fact that three hundred million dollars per year will have to be found in order to pay seven dollars a month for each schoolâ€"age child in Canada, under the Govâ€" ernment scheme for Family Allowâ€" ances, was realized with a shock.

Another impression which was general and which will await clariâ€" fication as the Session progresses, was that there is no hope or pFOSâ€" pect of lowered taxes for years ahead. On the contrary, Canada seems about to place so heavy a mortgage on her future that only great leadership will be able to steer her through the maze. ‘There is general agreement that provision for family allowances, higher old age pensions, free medical attenâ€" tion, adequate rehabilitation of war veterans and warworkers is allâ€"imâ€" portant, but awkward and embarâ€" |rassing questions are certain to deâ€" 1 Molsenad o se d n mand an answer be paid for. on how it is all to al observers is that the speech was a tactical sop to certain categories asked more and more, particularly as it is more clearly recognized that this is all the Government can see for the new postâ€"war world which has been promised: Why were there only vague reâ€" ferences to legislation which might help the farmer and worker make the money to pay his inevitable high taxes?

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics points out that for eleven months of 1943 it showed an increase of 18.4 per cent â€"a total of $8,072,000,000â€"over the: similar period a year before. Proâ€" duction and transport of munitions and war supplies were the main generators for this huge amount, putting it at the highest level in Canadian _ history.
