THE WISDOM 0F REALITY * To a generation born in depressian, weaned on world war and greeted, at 18, with a conscription number, President Henry M. Wriston o! Brown University, Soffered sorne stern guidance. S "Abandon," he said, "the rnast !atuous and debilitating slogan that ever misled za generation." "Qive up security as an ideal. Anyone who promises security is misbranding his politicai, social and econ- ornic goods . . . If you insist an being »cheated, buy gold bricks or perpetuai- motion machines. "It is now clear that if you live et ail, ~you will live dangerously - not oniy dur- 'ing the instant crisis but for all your lives.

FREEDOM 0F THOUGHT zCanadians, whether native-born or ;Imnmigrants, may live and act with ful security within aur pattern o! !reedom. We do not sirnply se! eguard human rights; Swe erect an order o! law, anirnated by Lfreedorn o! men's spirits. This means that men must not expect ;that in Canada they will be told what ta do. That is the kind o! thing that hep- *pened in Germany and Russie. We be- Slieve here thet freedom ta think should *be !ollowed by using your head ta choose tbetween alternative courses o! action.

Around the smre table ta salve their common sales problems, met men *ho hours before had been opposed li arbitra- tion proceedings concerning what share af sales dollars each should receive. Advertising emphasis will be put on butter in December; !luid milk in January; ice cream in February and cheese in Len- ten March, according ta plans.

OCTOSER 26, 1880 War BabyTun A.a IProblemCbild if j rnfhI PROSPERITY DEPENDS ON EXPORTI For only so long as Canada is able to compete succesafully with the other nations of the earth for a share of the world markets will her industrial machine remamn in high gear. Those who are re- sponsible for the successful and profitable operation of Canada's economy watch the international situation closely 's0 as to be able to assess its effects an the Canadian ecanamy. Canada's prosperity today resta largely on the fact that t he products of Canadian working men and women, of Canadian technicians and business men, are pur- chased abroad. This statement is given added em- phasis when the annual report of the De- partment of Trade & Commerce is scru- tinized.* On page 62 o! this publication there is listed the principal Canadian ex- ports,, by commodities. Figures are for the yeara 1938, 1947, 1948 and 1949. It in significant that oniy 3 of the 60 commodities listed on page 62 o! this publication show a decrease in value from 1937 ta 1949, and these oniy to a slight extent. Those concerned will be interested to know that in value of expert wheat, pulp and paper, wood-pulp planks and boards and flour o! wheat %ead the lust in that order. SOVIET UNION ANNOUNCES ITS NEW BUDGET Soviet Budget for 1950 received little attention in Western countries. It pro- vided for collection o! 433 billion rublea; expenditures of 428 billion. Expenditures were ta go 38.4% to industry and agriculture; 28.2% ota social services-and education; 18.6%1ota military purposes; 3.3%7ota administration; 11.5% unspecified. Revenue was 'to be, coilected 55.2%7 from a turnaver tex; 9.2% from profits of state industry, which mreans profits o! al industry, less capital ploughed back; 7.4% from state loans; 19.8%c from variaus other sources, and only 8.4%7 in direct taxes on individual citizens. Incarnes vary in Russia between the big and the little people more than they do in Canada, but the principie of incarne tax in Russie is very simple, everyone pays the same rate o! taxation. Marx's plan o! progressive incarne tex is very dear ta Carnmunists, as well as ta mast Governrnent officiais in every country, as a method o! destroying a free ecanomy, but Comrnunists do nlot use this plan where they have obtained power. Théy recognize the folly of it, and the certainty that, somehow or other, those who obtain influence in any economy are certain ta enjay higher than average in- cames. In reality, since nioney inakes up but a smali part of the extra rewards whîch go ta the more powerful in Russie; since commissars and the like obtain special housing, free mator cars plus chauffeurs, free servants and many other speciai priv- ileges, the difference of incarne between top and bottom in Russie is even more marked than shows up in the scanty stetistics a! maney incarnes which are available.-The Letter Review. FARMERS TO START CAMPAIGN TO POPULARIZE DAIRY PRODUCTS Farmers who major in dairying reai- ize they are now in "big business" and theref are are in a keen campetitive market ta retail their praduce if they are ta create a sufficient demend ta make a living pro- fit.

But if yau iive ta a good aid age, the values you accumulate in your program give you an incarne for Retirement. LET'S TALK THIS OVER William L. Lycett <by Jorlun Jenka in 'Rural Economy') There are na party-politics in the simple observation that mo- dern governments takre an ever- increasing proportion ai the citi- zen's income and spend it for him on things they think he ought ta have, wbether false teeth, films or flghter aircraft.
