In the government party, .but previously there was a similar split in the Conservative ranks when J. 8. Roy, member ror Gaspe, the only memlber of that party elected from Quebec, bolted and became an independent. That year saw the formation of new party, Bloc Populalre, headed by a former liberal mem ber, Maxime Raymond of Bcau-harnols-Lapralrle who, with a few other Quebec Liberals, crossed the Ifoor. The year saw the start of Ca nada's mutual 'aid program with the passage of the $1,000,000,000 gift to Britain" bill, the first step in making Canadian sup plies available to other Nations without payment. A novel piece of legislation that year was the wheat acreage re duction act under which money was paid to farmers who grew less wheat then before. It was AAtttft 10 designed to turn farm production into channels more acutely needed, livestock feeds, meats, dairy products and eggs. war fortunes were low that year and the threat of Invasion or attack on the east and the west led to special defence measures and the enactment of a War Risk insurance Act. Parliament's chief move in the financial sphere was the appro val of tax agreements with the provinces under which the Do minion took over income and corporation taxes and establish ed a uniform scale across the country, repaying the provinces an amount equal to their revenues from these sources in pre-war years. The first steps In post-war legislation were taken in the" third session, in the reinstatement In civil employment act and the Veterans' Land act. Under the former employers were required to re-cmploy men who enlisted on their return to civil life and under the latter the government offered financial help to ex-servlec men who wished to establish themselves on the land. Social Security Move The fourth session in 1943 pro-1 duccd little In the way of new legislation, but prolonged debate ensued on all phases of the conduct of the war. A further move in the social security field was made in a study of a national health insurance plan by a spec ial social security committee. Out of that study emerged the National Physical Fitacss Act under which schemes of promoting healthful exercise and recreation in the different provinces re ceived federal financial assist ance. The llfth session in 1944 pro duced a great grist of new laws. Prince Rupert, B.C. THE DAILY NEWS Monday, April 10, 1945 almost all directed to the postwar period. Adjustments were made in the tax laws with a view to enabling industry to undertake research and take other steps to speed conversion to. peace production at the appropriate time. The Bank Act was revised and special provision made in it for agriculture credits. An industrial development bank was credited to assist in financing small industries. The Export Credit In surance Act placed the resources of the government behind ex porters In cases of risk due to exchange difficulties. New legis lation on housing and farm im provement loans was placed on the statute books. Acts designed to place floors under farm and fishery prices were passed.
