Premier Benneft, Direct Debt And Contingent Liabilities Today in Kelowna members of -the Social Credit party are celebrating seven years of Social Credit government in Brit- ish Columbia. The highlight of the celebra- tion will be the burning of the direct .debt of the province. The celebration has had much publicity throughout the province, the country and the continent..Naturally it has pr i some istic There are those who are political op- ponents of Premier W. A. C. Bennett and his Social Credit government who naturally argue that the provincial debt has not been wiped out at all, but has, in fact been in- creased under the Bennett regime. These people argue with some justification that, while Mr. Bennett has reduced the direct dept of the province, the government’s con- tingent liabilities have increased greatly. The contingent liabilities are the debts of panies..and organizations set up by the government but which operate them- selves and from revenue sources avaitable to them in their activities should be able to liquidate their. own debts. However the .. monetary borrowings of these organizations are guaranteed by the government : and, tolls. And so goes: the contingent liabilities should be liqudated by the various organi- zations themselves. Critics who claim the contingent liabil- ities are too-high—and there are some who| do—by inference, at least, suggest that our highway system should have r i strangled by the lack of several important bridges, that people in'many areas of the province should not have the benefit of electrical service, that the railway. which ‘began nowhere and ran- nowhere should not have been given the opportunity of pro- viding needed service and proving itself. These things could not have been done out of current provincial revenues; money had to be borrowed to carry out these-very ne- cessary projects; the projects: themselves are supposed to meet their own indebted- “ness. There is nothing wrong, surely, in that. : pee - The debt which is being “burned” here is the direct debt of the province and repre- . sents the wiping out of:the debts incurred by gover its of British C ia over a long period of years, money borrowed for the government’s own use.

Political opponents refuse to accept the narrow Specific view and choose to ela- borate on the larger picture, claiming that the contingent liabilities are a direct res- stand too, that the sysem is that‘used” by; Ponsibility of the government. They saf the ~other provincial governments and the fed- eral government in Ottawa. We have been told by chartered accountants that the sys- tem is correct accounting. With these facts in mind, who are we to argue that.-the claims ofthe Premier are ndt in accordance witlr fact. oan ' : * And, too, is it not quite natural that the contingent, liabilities would increase under the development conditions this pro- vince has experienced during the'past sev- en years. Certainly the liabilities of many of our largest corporations have increased due to expansion during the same period..

These borrow- _ ings will be repaid, it is| expected. through the profits earned by the railway. Similarly the Power: Commission had to borrow to expand its: services to. the people of this province.
