!AGE TWO THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO THURSDAY, MARCE lSth. i~~m SUBSCRIPT1ON RATES S2.50 o Year, strictly in advance S3.00 a year ia the United States publishod by THE JAMES PIJBLISHING COMPANY Bowmanvjlle, Ontario GEO. W. JAMES, Editor University of Toronto Ajax Division t is lkely thet few cf our reeders know much about the Ajax Division of the University of Toronto. In fact the editor, making frequent trios to Toronto, -aassed by this community only 20 miles west of Bowmonville with only a casual interest in its affairs. But et a lecture on public reloticns at the University in Toronto we met a Durham County boy, H. Edward Millson, who told us something of the setup at Ajax. He is Assistant te the Dean eat this outpcst of the University. He has since sent along two býok- lets contairiing a brief sketch cf the history of the Universitv and generol information for stu- dents in residence. From them we have acquired a new con- ception cf the work cf this great University and the establishment at Ajax. Following demobil- ization and the facilities made for ex-service personnel te, get university training, the enroll- ment vient away beyond the accommodations eit the university proper. Therefore, the Board cf Governors erranged to, take over the wartime shell-filling plant et Ajax for some of the uni- versity faculties, principelly Applied Science and Engineering. The first session opened in Jan- uery, 1916. The initial enroilment numbered 1,400 stu- dents. Io the following year the number hod grown te 3,200 students. On the 446 acres were 111 buildings. These were converted te provide classrooms, laboratories and residence accom- modation, with ail the omenities of the parent university. It is a self-contained community today with ail the living perquisites of a modern tawn. We thank Mr. Milîson for the bookiets outlining this emezing and important develop- ment at Ajax. Anyone interested in obteining further information may obtain the bookiets without cost by writing the Director, University Extension, Toronto 5, Ont. Cure for Inflation In Industrial Co-operation Speaking at the Montreal Canadien Club. recently, Elliott Little, President, Angle-Canadien Pulp and Poper Milîs, put forward the conten- tien thot the best means of meeting the inflation- ary tendencies cf the day wos earnest co-opera- tien between industriel leaders, or management, and the leaders of orgonized laor. He consid- ered the course of leoving everything te the qovemament wes unwise and impractical. Se long as industry cen keep eperating et a high level cf efficiency the production thus ettained is the quickest and surest way of reaching a normal price level. Few will disagree with this opinfon. Tr. Little who stated his cereer as o laor- er et the age cf 13, knows both sides cf the picture cs few men do in Canada. The key te the whole question, as he sees it, is te esteblish con."aence between management and laor in aI Wav te assure complete integmîty on both aides. He colled upon management te devote more at- tention to the study of seund empleyee relation- ships and cultivate a more humanized, friendly and understanding opproach te mutuel prob- lems and net view the relationship on the level cf the mechanics ef laber relations pregrams. He suggested that laor leaders were high- ly informed today. They have taken advantagè of extensive research with the empîcyment cf trained ecenomists and con state e case with greater assurance thon many business leaders. This same theught wos told te the editor of The Statesman recently by ce nationally prominent director of radie programs who said that bus- iness leaders backed awey f rom the micro- phone whtle labor leaders were prepared and willing te put their case before the people. We aciree with Mr. Little, that business must smerten up i this respect and seize the odvontoge open et the moment te shere in o mutuel attack on inflation. Hng og ae hulrn the second place General Maltby, commander in the east, said the Canadiens were generally inadcquately tr.-iný-d and equipped. In spite cf evidence of this cheracter the e- beafnxaàtan 5tatromar Established 1854 .wîtb which 13 incorporated The Bowmanville News, The Newcastle Independent ' and The Orona ?News 93 Years' Continuous Service f0 the Town o!

Then be pointed out the huge investment invelved. Pursuing the case futber, o could take the average herd et 10 cows and show the daily retumnaet $280. The hired mon at S90 per montb gets aIl this and 20c besides. Pop. Mcm and an average cf thmee kids et achool appear te get something less t han skimmed milk out et this decil and work frem aunrise to sunset. And net infrequently a cow drops dead or the whcle herd may be cendemned fer TB or ether major diseeses. This is quite an argument for an in- dustrieliat ini behoîf cf formera. We hope it wil be neted by the Milk Board and the government os a pretty goed summery et the position cf the daimy farm family. Membet Audit Bureau of Crculations Canadian Weekty !ewspapers Association w port of the Canadien Royal Commission, found to the centrary. This report was challenged by Col. George Drew, who heard the evidnce as one c f the counisel et the enquimy. Aftem being charged under the Defence of Canada Regula- tiens. he wrete Prime Minister King, submitting preof cf his allegation. AlJ this led teoa demand cf the opposition for production cf the evidence, including dispotches refermed te by Mm. Power and the letter of Col. Dmew. Mr. King still e, fuses te table these essentiel documents. In se doing he defies the wishes cf the people et large and the Hong Kong survivers.' Theme is anether even more grave accusation ageinst the government in this motter. That has te do with the treatment cf the Hong Kong survivors and the familles cf the dead. since the war closed. We deel with this in a separete editorial. The thing that must be clear te ahI who have followed the case is that ia seeking te obscure the whole truth, the Prime Minister stiîl wishes part cf it te remain undisclosed. Thene is ne ether wey cf leoking ot it. In this persistence on a course of ageing intransigeance a great coreer is deplorably mommed. The Stotesma con speak with some author- ity on the question of some cf the members cf the Hong Kong force being sent eut ill-treined. Fit ty-two cf them weme taken f rom the Midland Battalion cf this district. Officers cf the unit still living in this district have teld the editor that they were mostly selected fer efusing to confenm te training, hence hod frequent guard- house records. This would eppear te be et least partiel confirmation cf the charge cf ili- training by Generel Maltby. But there is o much more simple way ni getting the eal tuth in the motter. That is te reopen the enquiry and take the evidence of the rank and file among the Hong Kong sur- vivers. Thet vwas suggested in the House in the recent debate. but Defence Minister Clexton brushed il aside. In our opinion, that is the only proper meens cf clearing up aIl the obscur- ity still adhemed te by the Prime Minister and bis Cabinet. This paper ot least demands that this be done and calîs upon the opposition im- mediately te put the motter te a vote in the House. President R. M. Fowler Urges Industry to Tell Its Story We have read with greot interest the an- nuel report cf R. M. Fowler. Pesident, Canadien Pulp and Paper Association delivered te the members epesenting 113 milla acmoss Canada, whe gathered together in Montreal, Jaouamy 30, 1948. Jo a remamkable survey cf this industry which employa 50,000 Canadiens and contributea te the incomes cf many more thousands, Mr. Fowlem outlined the. details vîhich place this greet enterprise os the largest single contributor te the national inceme and the greatest ta win- ning dollar exchenge in the expert field. Out cf on aggregate production cf over 700 millions, expert trode benefits by 530 millions.' But the principal peint in the addrcss thet captumed our interest was Mr. Fowler's \varning that: "It is urgently importent that you tell yaur stemy." This is precisely the theme that The Statesman bas been homping on for the past six or seven years. Occupying the outhoritative position cf President cf the greatest organiza- tieon cf its kind in the world, Mr. Fowlem oçn speak with much greater assurance than the editer cf a ural weekly. Sd we are glad te quete the following passage tram bhis addrcss. He said: "This is e time when many accepted faitha are being called into question. Our institutios are being subjected te intense scrutiny, in the upheaval through whîcb the world is possing. If yeu believe la the system which has made the grcwth of this industmy possible, you must be prepored te stand up and defend it-net in vague generalities but giving cijonter and verse te show that you ecegnize and will correct its defects and thot it is better thon any alternative system that is offered." "Each companv must be prepored te state its own position, supported by cencrete tacts and figur'es, in lanquage that will be under- stood and accepted by emplayees, bv qovema- ments and by the public of Canada." We should have been happy te have hed the ability te employ such forthright language os Mr. Fo\vler in the many previeus ottempts we have mode te urge industry elong tbis course. It is indeed a high privilege te bring to our eaders these expressions cf faith and encourageme.nt voiced] RIPPLES INTO 1LIJItfSSLIVES Thie single pebble )'Ou drop into a pool makes i îng afîci- ring of wiing riple.-u Ic h saine way one kindness of youi -s \\ 'Il bcfich vast numbers of people ..wlien ),ou give LotheUicC,îndin Red Cos YOULL RE HELPING TO . rush enîcmgcncy services . . . shelter, clothing, medical aid te comnîunities stricken by cisaster; save lives with frec hlood transfusions; hefp cippled children walk again; kecp open 71 Outpost Hospicals ..-. providing pionerm Canadians witb vital medical aid in time of accident, illness, child-birtIî; bring comfort te iJI and disabfcd veterans in hospital htds; teach watem sa.fety and swimming, thus pîevcnting tragùdx'; maintain the junior Red Cross, now 850,000-àtrong I Canada . teacb Fimat Aid . . . support important nutrition and homeî- mnaker services.

The aove passage is fromt the memeirs cf John Garner, formtr Vice-President, U.S.A., undeleated in almost 40 ycars cf public life. PUBLIC CONFIDENCE This opinion cf John Corner is most opt in supporting the centention thet John Bracken became a streng leader as Premier cf Manitoba by virtue cf possessing in high degree the facullies mentioned by his greet centemperamy. We have traced Bracken's course as Premier through three greot crises in Manitoba frem which he emerged with the unshaken confidence of the electorete. As the only leader te survive the greot depression. he mode h is torv. FISCAL POLICIES During the depression. whcn adequate federal aid wes net forthcoming, the provinces hed to meet unprecedented linon- cial burdens. Brocken met this crisis in twe woys; by maintein- ing taxation et a level sufficient fer relief and e balanced budget and by reducing everheed te a minîmum. He cut his salamy os Premier te on emount less thon env other provincial premier and bis administrative staff staed with him in similar reductions. This kind of leadership was enether factor in meintoining public confidence. SIROIS COMMISSION Frequently on record in deploring the high cest of mul- tiple governments in Canada, Bracken publicly adveceted twe things in the nature of ecenemy and equity. He %uggested ei sin- gle geveroment for the prairie provinces and e national, author- itative enquiry into Dominion-Provincial relations. Out cf this came the Rowell-Sirois Commission. When its report was tabled il vas generally cenceded thet Brocken had mode the strongest submissiens cf any public figure leoding te its conclusions. PLAN SABOTAGED It is a motter of history new whot happened te this "greetest document ever issued te ratienalize the national ecen- emy." The Ottawa Conference celled by Prime Minister King te censider the Report was sebotaged by Premier Hepburn of Ontario in accord with Aberhart of Alberta and Patullo cf British Columbia. Brcken led the fight et the con! erence te secure im- plementation of the Report. It wes shelved et the time but me- mains port cf our history. THE MAIN TEST On this question of fiscal relationships and the demand fer lowering the cests cf govemament. the stand taken by John Brocken whe took the lead on them, once ogain emphasized bis leadership and won hîm recgnition as the senior western states- man. His whole course follewed bis lifelong private and public precept: "Is it faim?" Thot vies the thought which initiated the Simd s enquiry. THREE PRINCIPLES Three main principles govemned Bracken's approach te sound govemament. He sought ta rationalize hîs administration under existing conditions and demanded the same in the federal field. He pressed Progressive policies for the. maximum develop- ment cf the reseurces cf Manitoba and urqed the saeme in Do- minion affairs. He has demandcd equity for aIl interests ight dewn the line. These he cernies with him inte the comng Do- minion elections. His undefeaîed record commands public sup- port at the polis.

Disorder in House Condemned by the Speaker A short time ogo The Statesmen camried an editorial which staîed thet ln mading Hansard it become cleemly apparent Ihat many members et the Hause of Commons were net taking their jobs seriously enough te warrant poying them a S6.000 ann.uel indemniîy, let alene the S4,000 they qoî before the $2.000 reise was voted as a cest of livliq boon. W. called attention panticularly te the ab- sentees when votes teck place and to the fre- quent warnings of the Speaker that noisy con- versations prevented speakers being heard and the business cf the House being intelligently carried on. In eider te check the thing the Speaker lest week theatened to exercise bis sanction te neme off enders. Now in Hanserd, Mer. 5, we find this pas- sage: Mr. Speaker: <'Order!! It was called te oui attention yesterday by the hon. memnben for Durham, (C. E. Stephenson, M.P.), that after the eiders cf the day are called, there is elways a great deal of confusion la the chamber. His ne- marks wene applouded bv hon. membens on both aides cf the House. Therefor I ask silence se that o member hoving the floor may be heard." It will be et interest te the public, porticu- loly in Durham County, te thus be told by the Speaker cf the Heuse, that Charlie Stephenson et least is doing bis part te fonwand the business cf the Canadien people and te inspire some semblance cf responsibility and dignity among the i'responsble schocl-bey element. Every day's business saved means thousands of dol. lams soved fer taxpayers.
