They have acquired in- surance ond t i ive. Longer : marked, it is not quite true. On becoming dead one has nothing to worry about. It is the family ond successors who have the worry about whether or not they can afford the loss of the family tax-earner. jHaving reached this clear, unemotional ps ir its over the years, but it is usually around age forty (ac- cording to psychologists) that the enormity of the whole thing comes home and they force themselves ‘into serious study of the grim possibilities; Now, for the first time; in most cases, there's a good long look taken at succession duties. The look at succession duties frequent- ly concludes with the remark that a tax-rid- den Conadian today, young or old, just cannot afford to die. : * .

Flight from reality is nothing new in the utter- ances of Mr. Knowles, and no sillier flight from reality could be imagined than the argu- ment that higher wages will sdlve all Canada’s economic problems, . ~ . Canada’s prosperity, as Mr. ° Know- les knows, depends to a substancial degree upon the sale abroad of major exports such as wheat, meat, lumber, minerals, and other one such tax-earner said he would hurry home and explain it to the potential L i @- youn, wife and three fine but somewhat. exhausting children.

Since higher export prices it seems clear enough that foreigners, will buy less and tess from Canada as Can- adian wages rise. Shrinking exports, in turn, mean worse unemployment' problems and grave economic difficulties. . Socialism never thrives in a climate of economic prosperity.
