Inflation Diagnosis All Wrong by Hamilton
Alvin Hamilton former cabinet minister argues Canada’s inflation is not caused by money supply but by city growth and high land prices. He criticizes government tight money policy as worsening unemployment and notes home prices rising from 19000 in 1964 to 34000 in 1970. He cites social services funding and tax rises as factors.

Will More Stations Be Closed In Manitoba And Saskatchewan
The Free Press reports CNR may ask the Canadian Transport Commission to abandon up to 190 railway stations in Manitoba and Saskatchewan by 1975 to support the servo centre concept. If approved, 144 Saskatchewan and 46 Manitoba stations would close, despite no current filing. A CNR spokesman in Winnipeg offered no confirmation, noting studies underway and no applications filed. Government subsidy could compensate losses if lines remain in operation. The 1969 earnings for Manitoba stations were $394,715 with La Broqueries at $925 the lowest. Manitoba Labour Minister A R Paulley said he was unaware of such plans. Servo centres in operation in two Manitoba areas already dispense cars for shippers, reducing station agent needs.
