Burt. “I've been in a good
many campaigns to improve
conditions. Over the years we
have become pretty ‘well fed

LABOR’S DEMANDS REJECTED

“NO PRICE CONTROLS” --- Ottawa

The Liberal government at
Ottawa has told the Canadian
people that they have its sym-
pathy in their efforts to cope
with the rising costs of food,
housing and other essentials of
life. But its not going to give
them concrete help in the form
of price controls and food sub-
sidies demanded by organized
labor and the CCF.

That’s what Canada’s M.P.s
heard when they gathered to lis-
ten to the Speech from the
Throne which outlines the. gov-
ernment’s legislative program for
the Special Fall Session of Par-
liament.

“The concern of our people
over the rising cost of living re-
sulting from
domestic inflationary pressures is
fully shared by the government,”
according to the Throne Speech,
read by Governor General Alex-
ander, but, in line with normal
practice, written by government
leaders.” “Every measure will be
taken which my Ministels believe
will be effective in counteracting
inflation without impairing* our
free’ institutions,” it continued.

The Speech went on to admit
the limited effect of the govern-
ment's present “short of con-
trols” anti-inflation measures:
“The anti-inflationary medsures
already in force have checked the

upward trend of prices of goods
and services affected by their
operation.”
