Elh SOME BACK-TO-EARTH FLANS IN ONTARIO The Most Hopeful Thlng 1 Have noticed on this trip f0 eastern Canada has nofhing f0 do with polifics, in the accepfed sense. If is a tendency towards both con' servafism and radicalism, in the besf meanings of both those v$ords. For an expert commission is sfudying what happened f0 one wafershed. That sounds like a hum-drum and nof-very-imporf- ant buisines. Yet if gets righf down fo bedrock as f0 ways of preserving or restoring what is the basis of ail our prosperity- pasf, presenf and future in Can- ada-thaf is the soul itseif. Specifically, this commission is studying the effecfs of the total deforestafion of a comparatively iitf le river, called the Ganaraska. If runs into Lake Ontario at Port Hope. The investigation itseif is a many-sided affair. financed by the Dominion and Onfario gov- ernmenfs. If deais of course with the mosf obvious effects of cufting down of fhe trees near the head- waters of this river. That is the now chronic condition of floods. With no natural barniers the spring fhaws change the snows f0 wafer in a figurative twinkling of an eye. The waters rush down the hilisides-not oniy f0 cause dangerous floods. But they carry xith fhem the most fertile top- soul. Each year the degree' of change is hardly noticeable. But if people like my own ancestors could corne back f0 whaf was once the virgin forest they would rub their eyes wifh unbeiief at the comparative poverty of a land which once iiteraiiy feemed with wild life of ail kinds. For, wifh the trees went nof oniy the top-soil. There later went the animal life. There later stili went the best of human life. This Little Survey In Ontario wouid have giaddened the heart of a great but unhonored Can ' - adian crusader, the late Frank B a rn jum Twenfy years or so ago he was a terrible pain in the neck f0 us harassed news p a p e r men whose job if was f0 handie "let- fers f0 the edi- for." For week affer w e ek, m onfth affer month, year, f fer yean r < poured ouf his own flood of protests f0 the Can- adian people. Hd warned us thaf our fonesf policy was not oniy criminally selfish, but natîonally suicidai. He hd reamns of figures f0 prove what was happening f0 oun forests from coasf f0 coasf- not just that we were runnîng them by fuilure f0 assure new growth equal f0 the annual cut, but also about fire losses, and in- sect devastation. The trouble wus there was no- thing new about what hie said. That of course, was pnecisely his point. For hie traced the prosper-1 ity of nations-from China f0 Arabia-f o the earth. He showed the vital connection befween moisture and soil ferfilify, and how trees fitfed info that picture in Canada. For decades now other experts (like the lafe Chief Forester Man- ning of B.C.) have been telling the samne sfory. So far nobody has done enough about if. Yet here and there are encouraging signs. This local Ontario survey is one. Another is the imposing reforestation projecf undertaken 20 years ago by the DrVîry gov- ennment near what is now the greaf military Camp Borden. This is now a magnificent sight. It seems To Me That Oniy A genuine national plan can deal with this mat fer on the scope which is necessary. Meanwhiie if is encouraging f0 nofe signs of a national awakening everywhere across Canada. In B.C. the policy of cuf-burn- and-fo-hell-with - our - grand- chiidren is being quesfioned where those questions will soon get resoîfs. In Saskatchewan fthe great droughf of the 30's has made evenyone ask: "Shouid this soul even have been piowed Up af ahl or kepf in grass f0 feed live stock. as if did from time immemorial?" In Onfario they have got down f0 Hundreds of Good Smnall homes also have been built in Hamilfon, and othen Ontario in- dusfnial towns, by private build- ers. These are permanent brick buildings of four, five and six rooms. One fine pnoject in Ham- ilton is on the site of a long dead millionaine's home. This was one of those castie-like structures, bulf like the counfry seat of some Engiish aristocrat. You ecould fînd one or more of fhem in almost every Canadian city in the early years of this century. They long since became white telephants. The heirs of the ultra- rich folk of the late nineteenth century eithen had iess money or more common sense than the builders of these castie-like od- dities. In the case of this one in Hamilton nothing remains of the once grand pile of finished stone texcepf the wrought-inon fence. fDozens of families live in neat siittle brick houses on whaf were -the grounds of the once haughfy -mansion. I . Can Find No Traces of Any 1pending farmers' polifical revoit in Ontario. This is what seems f0 me f0 be the most striking dif- tference today between East and sWest in Canada. In the West there is probably flot a single rural riding in al four provinces which does nof show the impact of what we might caîl sociaiisf or af leasf fowards sociaiist C.C.F. thinking. But unless I misread ail the signs, the fundamental politicai change which has taken place in Ontario is aimosf enfireiy industriai. Coaxed and coerced into mass production industries, scores of thousands of new workers have got a first-hand lesson in the need for frade unions. What fhey have seen with their own eyes, and heard with their own ears, has soon taughf them thaf if is impos- sible even f0onganize info frade unions, uniess those unions have polifical frîends f0 help bring fhem f0o pass and to keep them alive affer they are creafed. Not Even The Rural Mail Men have gof down f0 brass facks f0, organize to get a square deai for themselves. Yet these h ave go about the dinfiest deal of aIl war- fime servants. They bid for their routes on a four'year confnacf basis. We ahl know whaf that means in times of depression like 'the thinties. But ail that is an old sfony. The new sfory is even worse. If the,. munitions manufacturers had made a confracf with the govenn- ment before fhe war-and then the whole basis of their figuring had been knocked cock-eyed by the war-hey would gef together overnight. They would unite f0 demand a revision of terms from the governmenf in the iighf of fainplay and common sense. But ini Ontario af ieasf, the rural mail delivery men just take if. Gasoline w-as 23 cents when most of them made their con- tracts. If is 33 cents now. But there is no adjusfmenf-and no effective kick. Which is why my guess is thaf rural Ontario is stili asleep polifi- caliy-sfill miles behind the western districts bath rural and urban.

These sales, which are based upon the expenience of 18 com- punies nepresenfing 86 per cent of the new ondinary life insunance in Canada and Newfoundland, are for new settied-for ordinany in- surance, revivals, dividend ad- and volume of credit are matters of Iiigh national monetary policy. Canada's Chartered Banks exist to perform two main services: 1. They receive the savings and other funds of the- public, who thus build up bank balances in the form of savings and current accounts. 2. They advance short term loans to persons or enterprises needing money and able to repay within a stated period. Along with these main functions the banks, through more than 3,000 branches and sub-agencies, render a large number of other important services related to local and national needs -services which have greatly increased as a result of the war. But the quantity of money in existence in the country at any given time, and the volume of credit, are matters of high national monetary policy. The nation's own central bank, the Bank of Canada, determines them. The Bank of Canada makes ex- tensive use of the Chartered Banks' facilities in giving effect to these policies. The Chortered Banks' responsibility, clearly established and regulated by the Bankc Act,, is in the. realm of commercial banking-fhat is, to receive deposits and ta serve the needs oFf trade and industry.
