VOLUME XXXVI NO. 10 NANTON, ALBERTA, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1939. Subscription Price: 2.00 per year; Foreign, 2.50 Behind the Headlines At Ottawa By Dean Wilson What are the serious charges - being made right now against the Canadian Broadessting Co p ra- fion? What. is the opinion slong Parliament Hill on this. important ie? or Everyone agrees that, brondcast- ing today is vital factor in every- day life of the men, Women and children of this ountry from. ocean. to ocean and it is not just another Political-issue or controversy, if it ever could be termed such sub- ject since the autoncmious body Was created in 1982 by the mnani- mous consent of Parliament, It is rather a problem of broadcasting management and policy that in- volves numerous questions, in- cluding the paramount point of what-is or is not the proper and logical road to'be travelled in or- der.to retain the confidence of the listeners in this great public en- terprise without destroying or damaging any personal privilege or liberty which may be considered by the people of Canada as a di- rect violation of the principle of fr of the airwaves which resembles strikingly the question of the freedom of the press, both necessary if the country js to re main a democracy which iindoubt- edly is the desire of the great majority of the men and women in Canada, In the first place, when the Cor- poration in reased the radio lcense fee to 2.50, it provoked storm of. protest which has: not died down though itis well over a year HOPEFUL FOR WHEAT BOARD. Western Delegation Presenting Case: to Dominion Cabinet R, S. Law, president of the United Grain Growers, Limited, who is in Ottawa in connection with the western campaign to maintain a wheat board and minimum price basis of not less than 80 cents a bushel, states that all members of the delegation are. hopeful that the wheat board will be maintained for the coming crop year, The most important features, discussed with Dominion members of parliament, are: (1) That the wheat industry is of such ;great importante in the economy of Canada as to justify 8 measure to maintain it in a time of crisis. (2) That. there must be clear distinction between maintaining the wheat industry by guarantee- ing a reasonable price for crops produced and the method chosen to give relief required in areas where farmers suffer from crop failure, (3) That an emergency policy must be distinct from whatever long term policy may later be adopted. Mr. Lavy states: We pointed out that there would haye been major economic disaster in West- LEGISLATURE By T. B.

The warnings came in the de- hate on the budget, after it had been revealed that more than 600,000 is being expended on the treasury branches or credit houses which had a total deposit of only 224,031 in the nine months up to January 1 of this year; that treasury bills, which are just 1.0.U. s, are being deposited to re- sinking fund account; and: that the budget calls for a total ex-' penditure of 26,518,894 in the fiscal year 1939-40 a record tigh for the province, The deficit is to be over 1,150,000. jing thet taxpayers have almost ability and that no foolish, un- sound or tisky expenditures should be tolerated, Liberal Leader E.

It remains now to be seen nowy much of'the deposits in the cred- it houses are kept liquid; that is, whether the money put there hy patrons is kept on hand, oF whether it is linked with other purposes of the cabinet. gt; Marketing Board Scheme The marketing board scheme is connected with the treasury, branches, ostensibly, and must be financed somehow. So far the gov- ernment bas been mysterious about where it expects to get some of its funds for such purposes, but, the trend toward government in- tervention in. business is demon-, ,Strated by that marketing board idea and by the threat of govern- ment interference with the prov- lince s oil industry.

HL Danner, minister of lands and mines, is now planning a del- egation to Britain to ask the British government to build pipeline from Turner Valley tothe Great Lakes. By the first of this week 53 bills, none of them of much im- portance, had been placed before the legislature, and the budget had been pretty mulled over. D. M. Duggan, Conservative leader, pleaded that money being , squandered in the government's expenditures in flowery experi- ments and in various increasing items under the government's di- rect control should be spent in- stead on things the: people of the province heed, such as schools, hospitals and farm assistance, Inoreasing Expenditures He observed that legisliture Rangers, the top team of the ery, Mr and Mrs, H.
