The speech repealed the 18-point election nunlfeMo presented by Mr. Ptew In Ouelph. last Friday ih Progressive Conservative party's major pledges of onion if It is voted into office In the Aug.

10 election. The manifesto was headed by promise to cut taxrs by $500,000,000 a year. Mr. Drew mild Monday nlpht that since Friday night, members of the governmtnt have said inch a reduction is Impoiuuble. "I agree that no reduction is possible with the preterit government in power he added.

Certainly economies are impossible under a government which refuse to conduct those ordinary business Investigations which we have suggested and A'hich any private business would lie forced to carry out if it expected to avoid bankruptcy." Since the war the government had collected in taxes $300,000,000 a year moie than the budget figures approved by Parliament. A Progre-saive Conservative government would start its tax reductions with a $300,000,000 annual saving "by cutting tax collections to the actual budget figure presented to Parliament." There were many other plares "where other savings can be effected that will make it possible to have a net reduction of an ad ditional $200,000,000 and tike 'care of those Increases which will called for by the proposals we have made for the improvement of different government services." Mr. Drew listed a number of factors, including the thefts at the Petawawa military camp, which he said made tax reductions by the Liberal government impossible. They included $5,000,000 increase in travelling expenses, expenditures of $10,000,000 on publicity and $28,000,000 for professional and special services and construction of "palaces such as the head office of the Central Mortgage snd Housing Corpoia- tion, with it spring dance floor and other unbelievable extravagances." Tax reductions would not be possible "with a government which does nothing to deal with the chaotic accounting conditions ieported by the auditor-general and under eight different systems of accounting and supervision permits whole camps to disappear, railway sidings to be removed in broad daylight and a multitude of othr irregularities." Mr. Drew said that George S.

Currie, who investigated the army works services, reported "that the whole system cf administration, supervision and accounting of the department of national defence nas broken down so completely that th? extent of the losses at Petawawa catnp will never be known." The Progressive Conservatives had asked for a similar investigation into the entire defence department but "it is clear that you are not going to get that information or any accounting of that kind so long as the present government remains in power." Th proposed tax savings would not be confined to those paying incoma tax, he said. the end ihey would "benefit even moie those on small fixed incomes or pensions, whose taxes are not on any sliding scale but who pay the same hidden taxes on clothe3, household requirements und table requirements as are paid by people with the highest income." Pearson Opposes Anti-Red Proposal PETROLIA, Ont. (CP) To amend the Criminal Code to make communism illegal in Canada aa-f suggested by Opposition leader George Drew, "is to destroy liberty carelessly in the name of security," External Affairs Minister Pearson said here Monday night. Mr. Pearson spoke to a nomination meeting in Lambton-Kent riding that chose Hugh A.

Mackenzie of Watford, present member of Parliament for the riding, to seek re-election. Making it a punishable offence to engage in Communist or other subversive activities may drive Communists rground, Mr. Pearson said. "True, communism as a doctor-ine is God-less, dangerous to democracy. We should try to drive it out of our society," he said.

But, he added, not as Mr. Drew suggests. To do this would be to take action in Canada that has not been necessary in other countries, including the United Kingdom The proposal to amend the Criminal Code was one of IB-points presented last week by Mr. Drew as tne Progressive Conservative program in the coming election.
