PAGE TWO THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLP~. ONTARIO mm,~ev~ A ~ V.... .LA1u~aLJr~z, JUrIL Il, 1U~5 - LDITORIALS WHY YOUNG CANADIANS DO NOT ENLIST IN ARMED FORCES Canada is depending on advertising as a means 'of gettîng recruits for her armed forces. Estimates of the cost of this advertising vary fromn 43 dollars to 161 dollars per recruit. This looks li.ke a lot ofmoney. But nmore important than the money is the fact that -we are net getting the recruits. Nor are we likely to get thern as long as we depend on advertiaing. The trouble is that military life does net appeal te the youhh of Canada today. Civilian life is much more attractive. When a boy leaves high school he has no trouble getting a job at four dollars te 10 dollars a day. Hîs hours will be short, his work easy, his holidays regular and paid for; and there are always sports and amusements te entertain him in his Jeisure heurs, and te absorb his surplus cash. This condition was brought home te usr the other day while talking with a school teacher on the street. Iuring our conversation a young lad stili in his teens, whizzed by on his motorcycle. The beach- E'r commented: "that boy neyer get beyond Grade seven at school, yet I venture te 'iay lie is already making more money %working in a factory than I am." Such youths have ne need te save any- thing for a rainy day or for their old age. These are now the responsibility of the employer and the government. If the beys were actually earning al these things it wouldn't be se bad. But they are not. They are getting an undue share of the national income and they are getting it before they have learned the value of money or how te handie it. Boys are net likely te pass up such a life as this for the military discipline of the army. But the country needs the recruits. We have a huge territory te def end. Are wve going te allow other countries te defend it for us? Are we geing te con- tribute less than our share to the common defence of the free world? Or are we drifhing into the position American Generai Homer Lee had in mind when he saîd that wealthy nations can't defend themselves because their wealth unfits them for the task? The average Canadian has ne idea of the exhent or the urgency of our need for armed forces. He hardly gives il a thought. But it is lime we were thinkîng about it and hhinking seriously. We should be made acuhely aware of the need and areuse ourselves and plan how ho meet it. iwhai Others Say In th DimGRANDPA WITH THE TROWEL and (Financial Po.st) A report on Employment Con- dtos in Ontario makes this' D is tant Past s igniicant observation: From The Statesman Files .,**"I one large city, with a building program of considerable -- magnitude, the only skilied meofi- 25 ER AO4 YEARS AGO anics available in the construction 49 YEAS AGOtrades were in the upper age Ontario Government lias au- Local apple growers are being bracklaes There er enloy re thorized hospitals to raise rates: encouraged to pack appies for bîkaesaalal o mly of ward patients to $12.25 a week, cxport in boxes instead of barreis, ment. ail of whom were over 70 or $1.75 per day. according to a letter from a buy- years of age and one being over Town Council lias awarded er in Glasgow. 75.

We read the other day that Canadians have become se benumbed by a false era of prosperiîy and the dangling baits of creeping socialism that we are gradually losing or fneedoms and becoming willing slaves te carelessness and indifference. One wniher goes se f ar as te dlaim we are becomning ripe te be taken over by dictat- orship. The unpleasant truth is that our democracy is deteriorating; and has about reached the peint ah which the voters don't want ho be bothered governing themselvès. Thcy wen't take the trouble ta sec that their names are on the voters' lists. They wcn't take the trouble te attend pelitical meetings. They won't take the trouble ta go te the polis unless they are called for and taken home again. Democracy means government by the people. But if the people won't take the Pity the Perplexed Finance Minister Thene are two main classes of voters in this country. Strangely, most voters beiong to both classes fromn time to time. The two classes are those who want to pay less taxes and those who want the government to give themn more, at the expense of some other tax payers. Those iwo classes of voters are rep- resented by like-minded politicians who want the Minister of Finance to appear to be taxing a few voters heavily and to be giving te most voters generously. The Minîsher ýs always the man in the mniddle being squeezed from both sides. Manty voters and most politicians use their Iwe hands to squeeze fromn each side at the same time. The Minister knows, as most poli- ticians and voters know, if they stop to think, that ail taxes are recovered from consumens and that ail government glfts are paid for by those who receive them, eiîher in the cost of things they buy or in the reduction of their buying dollar. To keep solvent a producer or dis- itibutor fo any goods or services must recover ail of his cosîs and taxes from his customers. The Minister of Finance cannet give ail the people somehhing for nothing, but he has te keep on trying. Which One Do You Pref er ? A recenl editerial in The Saturday Evening Post points ho the fact that there is stili a gocd deal of confusion about the word "capitalism". Il points eut that the issue ýwhich is 'being foughh eut in the wonlcl toclay is net capitalism versus ne capitalism, but free capitalîsm versus stahe capital isuî.

He may do 1h under democratie forms- but 1 it ii net be democracy. This is what is happening in Canada teday. The apathy of the mai ority who have ne axes ta grind leaves the Govern- ,ment exposed te the pressure of the min- orihy who have. No Government is geing te offend the polibicaliy active part of the population for the sake of the indifferent stay-at- homes who don't care anyway. .,Thus the power that ightfully belongs te ail the people f ails into the hands of self ish groups who are bold enough te seize it and active enough te use il. The only way men can'preserve their rights is by exercising them. from the accumuiabed savings of millions o! free men and women." The writer gees on te point out that perhaps free capitalism isn't "fair" in the sense that it dees net reward incompehent, lazy or even unlucky people as lavishly as it rewards the strong, efficient and the fortunate, but then the question is asked, "Is the alleged unfairness of free capital- ism worse than the byranny of state cap- ibalism?", The edihorial concludes by' stating that il isn't enough just te believe in free capitalism. " . . . 1h is also necessary to resist crippling taxation, bureau.cratie absolution and inflation, the demons, which can kill free capitalism, despihe al the belief in the world, and kili freedom, tee." Farm Loans- Increased Of interest te the farmers is the recent amendment te the Farmn Improvement Loans Act. The mosh a farmer could ber- row under the Act previousiy was $3,000. This has now been increased by the Fed- eral Governmenbte $4,000. The Act, eiginally passed in 1944 te aid Canadian farmers, both owners and tenants, remains unchanged in principle. Fonds loaned (through chartered banks as agents under bbe Act) may be used for a great variety o! improvements te farm property and equipmenh, and even for household appliances net considered lux.- uries. In most cases the farmer provides a third of the purchase price in cash, and the balance is provided by the Farm Im- prevement Loan, ah a iow rate of interest. Duning 1952 more than ninety-eight mil- lion dollars were borrowed by Canadian farmers, under the Farm Improvement Loans Act. Observations and Opinions The faiîh that ail men are born free aund equal in their rights has been pop- uiarly misconstructed in democracies te mean that ail men should be whithled te the same size by contrais and taxation. One reason why scheol teachers have aiways been se poorly paid is that they have always had a guaranteed annual wage. And one reasen for the present shertage of teachers is that few people today are satisfied with a guaranteed annual wage. Whcn enoughi indusîniai workers, miners, farmers, fishermen, merchants, manufaclurers, bankers, business men, self-employed eperators, recipients o! gev- ernment cheques, taxpayers, professional people and politicians, prachice the golden rule there will be peace and unparalleled growth, spiitually and materially. "Seek ye first" applies le each individual and through each te ail. With the Federal eleclien in the off- ing. aIl electors should get busy with their owuî brains and figure eut and support "the besh representatives," net the besh parties.
