WAGES N

OTTAWA (CPA), — Higher
wages won by Canadian labor
since the war have had “very
little if any” part in pushing up
post-war living costs and influ-
encing Canada’s inflationary de-
velopment, according to a famous
Dutch economist.

Dr. H. M. H. A. van der Valk,

OT CAUSE

Netherlands Executive Director
of the International Monetary
Fund, notes in his book, “The
Economie Future of Canada”
(McGraw Hill, $3.50); “Our im-
pression is, that very little if any
direct inflationary development
can be attributed thus far to the
rise in wages.”

T.V.A. Under Attack

WASHINGTON (CPA) —
The Tennessee Valley Auth-
ority, great publicly-owned
power and flood-control pro-
ject, has been “murdered” by
President Eisenhower’s bud-
get makers, TVA Director
Harry A. Curtis charged re-
cently.

TVA has come under
strong.attack since the Re-

publican Party gained power
in 1952 and it has been cited
by oponents as a prime ex-
ample of ‘creeping socialism’.

President Eisenhower's lat-
est budget will force TVA to
fire 5,389 employees in addi-
tion to the 3,228 laid off in
1954. This will mean a 36%
reduction in the number of
employees within two years.
