We were Im- pressed particularly with hie observations about the people af Britain and predent herewith sôof iebi heartening statements &bout thé people who challenged Hitler and now chai. egeadvereity.

T'his austerity is practiced to help recovery. not ônly in Britain but recavery among starving European cauntries. Continuing:- "There Io an air of train in Britain, but pride and hanor were there taa, and national sacrifice,. unselfioh- ness, the breakdown ai class privilegeg. If ad- v ersity produces greatnese, then Britain has greatness, hardened and tcnipered in war and the chilling cold of this peace."l 1 "Don't count Britain out! People have donè' that before-ond have been deceived. Britain Is applying the know-how of. centurles ta thé ', needs af tomorrow. There are niany severe handicape and obstacles. The incrément of empire, earned and unearned-is at an end. The 'lords ai creatian have raveiied cuffa. But they are leaner and tougher thon ever and their honor and détermination ahine 11kê a keen blade. They need encouragement, not pity.

National Picture Sought Osi Expected Farm Production The Agricultural Division of the' fominion ]%Ureau oi Statistics recentiy sent out carda. ta Canadian farmens seeking facto on crop acre- ages and liveetock numbers. It je hoped that rnost of these will be lied in and returned in order ta get the national picture ai expeted fanm production. In vlew of Canada's poo- ition as one ai the leading exporters af agricul- tural surpluses and the neceesity af loaking well ahead ta mintain the supply for markets abroad it Ie almost a duty for formers ta iurnish the. information desired. Ottawa aeks that thesi completed cande be returned pramptly to help in shaping policy. Currently there le no problem in salling surpluses due ta the heavy demand in war-torn. cauntries. But as recavery abroad muet be J taken Into account as time goe on the problem of surpiuses will ta that extent become accentý tuated. No matter what International agréé- mente are made the aim ai Canadian agricul- nue will be ta maintaIn a balanced production of hihquality foodo. Supply and delivery on this bssis the surest means ai attracting and holding custamers for the future. Palicies and decielons now being taken will détermine the future for many years ta came. Plane ai the Food and Agriculture Organiz- ation ai which Canada ie a member take into account the position af Canada as a leading ex- porter ai food and allocations will be formulated accordingly. Ta maintain fair prices and avoid surpluses le the main objective. One ai the firet requirements ai the FAO In to have ac- curate Information on the world's food supply.

A New Development to Make the Press a Government Monopoiy Mn. A. D. Dunton, ai CBC, reéntly told a questionen ln bbe House ai Commons that the Gavernment radio had not mode up its mmnd ta go into facsimile broadcasting, but bas bbe un- questionoble right ta engage In this sont ai publicity at any time. Faceimile broadcasting ls being mucb dis- eussed. lb is a new dévelopment by wbich it la maid that every household should hé able ta ob- tain a new type ai radio, aven wbicb the eauld be dietnibubéd printed as weil as spoken news bulletins. Carried ta its lagical conclu- sion, lb im suggcsbed that this might incan that -there couid be a new system ai néws dissémin- ation, wbich would replace bbc daily newspapen. Now, before bbc Government radio sbould think of engaglng in any such new sort ai oct- ivity, there ehould be a ré-éxamination ai the position ai this agency. CBC officials argue that it la not a Goverument undertak ing, but a pnivabe radio, owned by themn, and not ta be lnteriered with by tbe Govennmenb, but no anc really believes this story. CBC la a Governmcnt radia, subjecbta contrai by bbc Govcmnment ai Canada, subject, in turn, ai course, ta bbc au- thonity of Panliament. lb has proved not quite saisiactary ta Can- adians in generai, since lb bas become more ai a monopoly ai radio bnoadcasting thon anyonc imnagined when the Aird Commission réported ln favor ai a Govennmenb radio system. Thé original idea was that CBC was ta live out af licence fées, lcaving the commercial field ai advertising ta pnivabe stations. For came reason this arrangement bas not beau carried out, and CBC, which ln the only nctwonk permitted ta aperate, naw mouapolizes a great dcal ai the advertising field, as wéli as collecting aIl the licence fées. On tht. expérience theme cauld be nathing les. likely ta please thé Canadian people thon for CBC ta now walk inta facsimile bnoadcast- ing, making bbc préss as well as bhc radioaa Government monopoly. Movement Backed by Communiats Butter decautral, and the cessation ai ration- min, have occurrcd with a minimum ai diiiiculty, despite thc attempts ai vanlous graups ta make lb anather case for absurd demonetrations, rnîch as we had over chocolaté bars. A great major- lty o! the women who are being sa skiliuhly oirgenized ta fight every pnice increase as a disater are perfectly sincère in their activities as thcy have thc mistaken belici. that thc gov- ernmcnt of a free country can continue ta fix pricca, regardîcis o! casts. An active minority, *ho &tir up the trouble In women's associations, home and school clubs, and ather places wbere wamen meet. are active Communiste, icllow-travellcrs, ar bbe sort ai Socialste who deny Cammunism, -out always stand up for Communist ideas. Remlism là complcbely lacking in any sug- gestion that the. price o! butter cm» b. kept dawn behow the figure at which famer. wlhl produce butcer fat. lb wouid be the sImpleet Uing In Uic world for some ai bbc intelligent women, and their average ai intelligence lm at leat as high as tbe men, ta inquire of those who persuade them ta paso resolublons againet thé pnice of butter whéthcr ib is théin idea that the goverament o! Canada should bell farmersaet what prie Uiey are ta produce butter fat. That la Uic question which has ta be asked, and, of course, It terminates the discussion. Persnu. The bauic penaion of $30 per umonth le coatributed t. by the D~ominion and the prov- lace on a 15-28 percentage ai paymmats. It la putup ta Individuel provinces ta Incréasé the amount wlth supplernantal paymenta and only 8 havé n fer gone beyond the $80 figure set by- Ottawa. Ontario leada the ileld with a max- imnum of $40 per month. The details af this legislation are deait with in more comprehensive farm ini our concurrent column, Mime For Decision. The facto con- tained therein fully support the objections rais- ed In the House that $30 per month paid as of right te people handicapped by âge and ailie- tian connot by any standards measure up ta living cote cof today. Truc they are permitted ta ean outaide the pension up ta a certain limnit, but thoumands wiII bo found unable to do o. Por a great number it means virtÙally living on porridge and prunes and In bleak housing at a time of great national prosperity. It la just not good enough for senior citizens who have contributed oc much ta the growth ci Canada. Am*endments ta Uic Old'.ý&ge Pension Act finaliY Passed the House on :uly 1, 11947. AMtr many days ai sharp debate durlng which the measure w»s oetIdlzed by Uic entire apposition and many leading'goverhnent uobporterg, only one change was forced, nhmnely, that pensionsl f thUi blind wlll commence at age, 21,'iiistead Of age 40. BASIC PÉNSION The new regulations no'f rÔ epnsosfrtegd and blind At $30 par imonth ta 4*hich Uic Dominion contrIbutes 75 per cent. This applies ta the blnd and t people 70 yeara and over who must eubmiflta othè enin test. 'rhat ii ta samy, a corps ai governmnent effployeea will,-visit thé aged toh emr their pnivate resources. Their $30 pension will be.scaled dawn accord-. ingly. To this basic pension provincial gavernments may add supplèmental payments on top cot thé 26 per cent they must pay under Uic act. Pensioners mailaeso et out and work if they wlsh ta live decently and ay4arn flot marc than enough ta bning income up ta $50 parno4,h. If they exceed that the Do- minion scaies down thc $30 in roportian. TOTAL CÔVERED The amendment adds èb.oo aged people ta those pros- ently qualified for pansions bridglng the ,total up ta, 275,000 aIl told. It is concedced that thousands are too greatly handicappcd to earn extra funds, hence If any provinces decllned supplemental payments it appeare many wil have ta exist. or etarve on a bare. $30 per month. At the moment six provinces have voted cash supplements. PUBLIC CONCERN In order that the public may estimate fairly the effect of thie legislation on âged and hàndicapped citizens a geral ne- vlew ai current living caos t gether wlth thé original etate- ment ai government policy, as weli as pointe raised In debate, will be set down before we conclude the consideration ai tuis particular question. Few mottera are of more concern than treat- ment accorded helpless citizens. COMPLACENT PRIDE C1èbsing the debate, Hon. Paul Mantin said: III arn proud ta have brought iarwanrd such a commendable measure on the part ai the government; we have raised the level ai pensions for the aged." But he also affinmed: "An aid age pension was neyer intended ta caver the complete cost of living; It is only a main- tenance grant." ANOTHER MATTER Replying ta a question by a member ai the opposition as ta what an aged or handicapped individuài was going ta do who bas no other meons ai livelihood, the Minister said: "That is another moatter." How this matter is viewed by responsibie members in ail parts ai the House wili be toid in tbe néxt article. TEME FOR DECISION--j Moorleh Cou 1.
