Candidate As everyone knows, the èCF intends, as - soon as il carnes ta power, te introcluce planning iiita aur econamy. This. word *'plan- ning" bas been subjected ta torrent o! abuse in recent years. The conservative elempents spur- red an by the selfish interests ini big business have by their un- ccasîng maliciaus propaganda dis- tai-ted ts meaning beyand ali-cc- agnition, They scream--dictator- ship-bureaucracy-loss a! free- dom-until aur minds are se con- !used that we cannot tbink clear- iy and unemotionaily about thie vi- tal social issues and principles recognitioni throughoutwhe r einn to-dapy. ta obtain the world Planning Idea Wýhy slîould the word "plain- ning" be Fa distasteful ta Lu many people? There is nothing wrang with planning. The fariner plans his crops and breeding, The house- wife plans bier budget. We ail plan aur holidaý s. The mighty corpora- tions and manufacturing concernis are madels o! planning efficiency within tbeir awn arganizations. They couid not aperate at ail, let alane profitably, without such planning. Thanks ta government planning, during the war this na- tion produced enougb for a $5,000 incarne for every farniiy. And at that time we had 11,000,000 a! aui ablest workers in uniform, 0f course it was in shelîs and tanks and guns, but it cauld have been in washing machines, cars, homes and churches. -- Cycle Law If we can do that in a war against Fascists, we canria oil in a war against unernployment, po- verty and disease. Why, then, not introduce some pattern tal ca-or- dinate the different parts of aur economy instead af allowing it ta iimp along witbout direction, while different individuals, groups and classes each struggle for su- premacy regardless of the effects their efforts have on the Canadian people as a whole, whiie the so- called "natural iaws" of econom- ices have full sway with the "in- evitable" cycles of inflation and depression. Board Setup With the pianned economy of the CCF these disastrous condi- tions could abviously be avoided. The production and investment policies of the great key industries an~d tinancial institutions would be lormulated in the light o! the prevailing economnie situation ta achieve the best possible results for the couxntry as a whole. This planning would cone from a com- mission directiy responsible ta the representatives of the people ~n parliament. The ultimate re- sponsibility would lie with par- liament, and if the voting public were dissatisfied ivith the canduet of affairs it wouid vote the gav- eroment out at thie next election. Even tod-ay there is planning of a sort and by a verY small group of people. But these people are the big business magnates and fi- nanciers whn with their inter- lacking directorships contrai toaa very large extent the ecanomy of the cauntry-see WTHO OWNS CANADA by W. H. McCollum. But this contrai is irresponsible wxith aniy thleir own interests ta influencc the' cantroliers. If the peaple whase liveiihaod dependF an the ecaîîarny these men contraI are dissatisfied wîth the way things are going, they cannaI re- place themn at a general election. .Mare Freedom It is abvious from this that CCF palicies will bring mare freedom nal less, ta the individual. The pritncioles of democracy will be extendedti t include the economic spiere as weii as the political. The individual voter will have a say abaut how and by wham his coun- try's economny will ho run just as lie now has a say- in how his coun- try's palitical affairs wvîli be mun. As for private property, the CC F believes in mare, not less, pcb- vate property for the individuai. The CCF believes that in a coun- try as richi in rcsaurces, manpow- er. and techniical know-how as Canada the individual should be able ta acquire more o! the ma- ternal gootis which make for a happy and comfortable life.

The statement put torward by same misir.formed or maliciot4s persans that the CCF intends ta "take over" ail the corner grocery stores, barber shops, and haber- dasheries is sa ridiculous as bard- ly ta meibt contradiction. There are alsa some who argue that since the CCF says il will put under public ownership the principal means o! production, it will con- fiscale the family farrn since il is a means of prosduction. This is ab- solulely absurd. The farm is a means o! production, but it is far tram being a monopoly. Witb tew exçeptions the individual farmer bas no contrai aven the price on the amnount o! agricultural prod- uice put on the market. In fact be hiînself is a vbctim af manopolies. The CCF intentis ta improve the position o! the family farmn in the cammunity by breaking the mono- polies in farrn macbinery, tertiliz- ers, and meat packing, as well as ntcoducing a syslem a! guaran- teed prices well aheati o! the planting andi breeding seasons. The CCF will also pass legisiation insunifig security o! tenure on the farm so that the tarmner wbll not lose his farm la the martgage cam- panies in turnýes af crop tailune..

THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION 37i bey Street, Toronto 1 39 ywm I n Business rHURSDAY, JUN! lOth,_109 Why Bother to Speak Correctly? By Dr. ý. . eaman Profeisor cf English, O.A.C. and first Superintendent ni floy's Tr'aining schoql, Dowmanvle. "We dare it yesterdqy bût you and hlm wasn't there. Youse al know, I haven't saw hlm fer a long time because he don't like them thingb." Doubtiess any reader of the foregoing will recognize that it contains several grammatical er- rors, and yet how alten wo hear sorne of thegetnistalçes made by people, who, trom the iclea they express, would appear ta have very excellent mincis. Of course, the persan using any of the above staternents would rnake hitwself understaod. This bein g the case, the question might be asked, ,'What difference daei It make?" Well, the difference cornes from two or three reasons: Most lis- teners to any ofthfle above state- ments wouid be struck by sme af the mistakes in grammar, with the result that the attention of the listener is deflected from what he is saying ta the way he is saying il. Secondiy, the tact that a per- san makes these mistakes suggests that he is somewhat illiterate andi for thgt reason his opinions should not be taken too seriausiy. Same- ane bas said that if you are lack- ing in facts about animal husband. ry you are considered as flot being well up in that fieldi of lnowledge, but if you cannat express yourself accurateiy and grammatically you are considered illiterate, no matter how, many facts you know about animal husbaridry or any other kind of hurbandryf Sorne fifteen or twenty years ago a very terrible mistake was made by those in charge of edu- cation, bath in Canada and the United States. Educationalists be- cam genamue f a taise psy- cholgy f edcatonThe inter- est of the child was made the prirnary focus af ail educatianal efforts. The word corrélation be- came the most outstanding word in educational psycholagy. In practice it meant that if you did flot like a subject, and pupils were not keen on it, and yau tqund il hard ta teach, the scienitific thing was ta 'correlate" it with some other subject. Because rrany teachers fourid Engli5h Grarnmar and Spelling rather boring ta teach, and because pupils did nat seern ta be thrilled with learning them, bathi these subjects were correlated with some other phase of instruction in English. Eng- lish Grammar wgs supposed ta be taught incidentally in the writing of compositions, and s pelling was ta be assaciated with t he teaching of English Literature. (This idles of correlation was extended ta Histary and Geography, which were correlated to become Social Studies, with the result that puPils corng through th. achools now know very 11111e History anid less Geography.) The results of Ibis correlatian have been very fàr reaciiing. Asic sny business mani loday who has ta engage a sten- ographer or secretary and he wiil tell yau that aven thase who have been thraugh toujr years of college have littie facility l n co r- reet expreqsion and less in speli- ing. The obviaus place ta put the blarne. àif the persan is college educated, is on poor instruction in callege. Daubtless the college. can take some blarne for thîs sit- uation, but aClualiy the tault lies in thec lack af emphasis on Eng- lish Qrammnir and Spelling in the public. school years. There is no royal raad ta leirning, and thue mariner we gel back smre disci- pline for the minds and habits of aur çhildren in the public and high schaois,, tbe less delinquency there wil1 be. English Grammar and Speiling do nt need ta ho chili subjects. If they are, that is the fault af the teacher. Cer- tainly, the discipline of learning ta analyse a sentence, parse a word, and speli iA correctly, is anc which provides a splendid back- groundi for much furtber learn- ing. Moreaver, If chilciren do %iet acquire this analytical J<nowledge ai the English langtuage in their formative years, you may find tbem, even afler coilege, using some of these incorrect expres- sions at the first of this article. Tbe reasan is this: If children in the homre hear incorrect modes o! expression, and if they are net correcteci in public scbool and the correction emphasized in high schooi, whien tbey came ta cal- lege they can be taught new and dorrect patterns of speech, b.ut they won't stick. Every tirne such a persan gels in a hurry, becomes emotionai, or thinks it doesn't matter, yau will find hi throw- ing overboard bis ne aterns and reverting ta his aid. Ob\'ious- ly this points out the veny great importance of the teaching of Engîbsh Grammar andi Spelling in aur public schools as sepanate subjects witb separate textbooks. Il is interesting ta note that rnany public schaol inspectars are en- couraging the use o! just such texts at the present time. "Why bother ta speak correct- !y?" The answer is that praçtical- iy everyone today has some modi- cun: o! ecucation; consequentl1y, wben he hears anyone using in- correct speech expressions, he automaticaiiy grades dowc h impartance of that person.Be sides, thece is a certain associa- tien between careless expression andi careless tbinking. Many of the people wbo don't take coi-e ta speak correctly are those who don't take much care in their tbinking; conrequently they are written off as people who can give careful leadership. Mii.
