Good intentions must be tranuiated into positive action. Although the nations in confer- ences have rccognlaed Uic funda- mental nced ai a co-operatlve ap- proach ta the food program they have not yet made any substan- tial move ta alter the common trade practices and actually ap- ply these principîca ta world trad- ing in food and agricultural prod- ucte. " We fully endorse the report ai the FAO Prcparatory Commis- sion. The chief recommendations ai the Commission were: 1. To use the machinery ai the international coam mo dit y agreement as the appraach ta building a trade pattern an a ne- gotiated and ca-apenative basis and sa pratect producens and con- sumers alike. 2. To establish a world food council. "Since the international comý- madity approach has been rather gencrally agreed upon, the com-1 pletion ai an International Wheat Agreement becomes ai vital im- portance of this whoie program. Bread is the staff af ifei and wheat is anc ai the major cam- modîties entcring into world trade. If the nations cancerncd cannot adopt and apply ca-operative pninciples ai trade in wheat, it is unlikely that real progrcss can be made in the development aif a ca-ondinated wonld food pro- gram."

BUSINESS During the 1945-46 crop year a record numben ai farmers bought supplies and sold produce coap- eativcly, it is disclosed in a ne- port just issued by the Econamics Division, Dominion Department ai Agriculture. In the same pcniod, thein volume ai co-openative busi- ness attained a ncw record. Prcliminary statistics collectcd by J. E. O'Meara, who compiled the repart gives membcrship in .anmers' ca-aperatives as 789,408, campaned with 739,604 in the 1944-45 crop year. The Division emphasizes that these memnber- ship totals are greater than the number ai individualsinu cop- t nratives, as a farmer may, and oiten does, belong ta mare than one organizatian. Further, camparing ca-apera- tive activities in the two cropc 'cars, the number ai farm ca-ap- nratives rcporting bas incrcased nom 1,824 ta 1,905, with addition- al organizations cxpectcd ta ber ceard fram befare a final repartt iissucd. The, Division estim- tes that in addition ta these fanm z-apenatives there arc appraxi- mately 2,500 credit unions ins anada together with many ather associations cngaged in such co- )perative services as hausing, tele- ýhone, medical, transportation ind fish marketing.

The socialistic planners, Mn. Mc- Donald declared, realize that un- der a pianned ecanomy, gavcnn- ments must have a monopoly ai thc distribution ai goods and ser-1 vices because they sce that lnu competition with private enter-( prise they wauid be hard put ta make any real progress'unless they follow metbods ai distribution similar ta those oi pnivate enter- prise.

Jobs Ar. Scarce (The New Liberty) It is a well-established. business precept that "Profits blossom at the top." Put in other words, this simply means that profits ac- crue fron% extra intelligent effort, from wise conservation, fromn the will to produce a littie more or a littie better. There is nothing vcry repréhensible in that. Unfortunately, however, the word "profit" has been tossed. about so much that it has become flot a littie misused. Projudceci People and even thoughtiess peo- ple have managed ta canvince themselves that there Is some- thing predatory in the profit mo- tive-as if there were sorne lu- herent virtue in failure, or flot making a profit. Or they have seen it as a dividing line between management and labor-as if pro- fits were af value to one and of disadvantage to the other. This is a perversion. of simple facts. Without profits, management may look in vain for the capital with which to operate. Without pro- fits, labor may look in vain for jobs. In so moch, at ieast, the interest is mutuai. Industry in Canada has been doing well. Net operating earni- ings for 1946, generally speaking, were materially better than in the preceding year. Labor has considered that these profits are the soundest possible reason for demandxng substantialiy increas- ed wages. We are flot clebating the merits af the variaus wage arguments. We are merely urging that wage demands must recognize the pre- cepts mentionecl above, and that profits do flot appear month by month. They are subject ta many Possible variables.-costs of ma- teniais, wages, and markets, and volume of production. No execu- tive has yet been able to figure these variables sa accurately as to say in January that there will be profits in December.' The bulk of thé year's opera- tian in any business is devoted to producing and selling enough goods ta break even with thei known costs of operation. Only1 wvhen that has been done can i3ra- fits biecontemplated. Every in-i creasè in costs-whether in high- er raw-material prices, higher wages, or decreased efficiency- reduces. the margin of time in which profits can be made. As the nargin of time narrows, only in- creased volume ai sales can make this diminishing oppartunity re- sult in continued profits. But the indications ai 1947 already sug- gest that the first surge of buying is over. With uncertain condi- tions and the familiar timidity af capital, it will be diffcuit ta stim- ulate buying. If past profits are onserved and spread aven less profitable years, contlnued succ- *ssful apenation is possible. If they are drained away by contîn- ted wage demands, the chief suf- feer will be the wage earner. Vhen business is unprofitable, jobs are scarce.
