We fight for Victory. We pay for Victory. Buf we can lose that Victory unless we as a people change our attitude toward business. Germany has for years been depending on our "greediness and short-sightedness in business to ensure her strangle-hold on world power, ~ There has grown in Canada and the United States a fetish known as "big business". The ob- ject of "big business" is large profits, no matter by what methods, at what risks, and regardless" of the suffering and loss to competitors. In the digetors' room of these SNE the paramount interest is profits. Actually Germapy did not need to go to war to gain world power. That was plain foolishness. All she had to do was to keep on with "big busi- ness and soon she could have bought control. . Here is an extract from a review of "Germany's Plan" a recent book by Joseph Borkin and hey Welsh: : ; "If Germany, between 1926 and 1939, could per- suade_ the industrial leaders of France, Britain, the United States and other countries, as she did, that they had a right to profit by monopoly at the expense of treason to their! own nations, it is possible that our troubles will not end with ces- sation of hostilitics. Germany has proceeded un- der a veneer of legality, wherever possible, in- manipulating patents, cartels, etc, and has "bought what she might have stolen outright; under the belief that thé business ethics 'of the Allies will cause them, at the peace, to respect these contractual rights, and so leave Germany ; in effective command of vital materials and pro- B © ein i At the beginning of this war. G., Farbenin- dustrie -- Germany's supertrust, which is the Inxgsabryf dustrial combine the world has ever seen--had agreements with such firms as duPont, Standard Oil and the Duke aluminum and power interests in Canada that gave our enemy sub- stantial advantages, These contracts provided that, in case of war, each party would safeguard the partner's interest, not that of their countries; and in one instance at least we have a record of a clause which had ta bejleft to good faith lLe- cause it was too illegal to write into the contract, Under such deals one German in the United States was able to keep from the Allies 1,500,000 pounds of carbonic acid, which would have made 2,250 tons of explosives. That is the equivalent of winning a battle on the field, and it is a minor and incidental result of what has been going on. To a large extent our present industrial paredness for this war is due to the fac Germany, through international cartels, built up its own production and assisted the democracies in restricting their production in electrical equip: ments, in drugs, in chemicals, in basic war ma- terials, such as magnesium and aluminum}" So great are the issues at stake that the danger to Canada and the United States may be averted - because 'big business" may awake to the colossal stupidity of selling out to foreign capitalists such powers and commodities as may prove to be the essential needs for victory over an enemy, who is Yalso a partner in huge undertakings, commercial and otherwise. , . k Every purchaser of stocks and bonds may eventually have to face the 'problem as to what kind of enterprise he is fostering by his invest- = a | i cesses. ments. Most people don't consider this matter. The question is -- "Does this stock pay good dividends?" ® PESTS IN STORED GRAIN_ RECOGNIZE NO SEASONS . --So says Dr, B. N. Smallman, entomologist, Board of Grain Commissioners, at Winnipeg. Investigations of mites and insects in_stored grain in Canada are still very serious and necessitate increas- ing vigilance on the part of all con- cerned with the storage of grain. Can- ada's wartime grain storage system extends from the farm,*to the country elevator, to the huge terminal ele- vator. Dr. B. N. Smallman, entomol- ogist, Board of Grain Commissioners, stressed the fact that stored grain pests recognize no seasons, and, re- ports of infestations are as frequent in winter as in summer. Under nermal conditions when grain moves freely from farms to market and storage space is far from congest- ed; infestation of mites and insects in stored grain in Canada are practically unheard of. Now, however, large bulk quantities of grain remain in a bin for long periods, and the pests thrive in these undisturbed breeding places. Increase Numbers Asked where all these pests come from, Dr. Smallman said, "They ap- parently have always been with us, but in such small numbers and 'with so little = opportunity for causing damage that they had not Been noticed. But now they have taken advantage of longtime 'dead' storage to_increase their numbers and make themselves too apparent." ! Regarding infestations in wit bins," Dr. Smallman points out that actual. cases have been found dufing cold winter weather where insects ac- tive in grain wet from a roof-leak and | heating to 100 degrees could not sur- vive in the dry grain of the same bin where the temperature was down to 10 degrees below zero. - Insects, once established in a bin of "tough" grain, won't be content with mere survival, he emphasizes. Danger Signs A patch of tough grain can start a serious insect infestation. Dr. Small- man stresses the extreme importance of preventing snow or rain from reaching the 'grain. A "tough" spot in a granary full of dry grain forms a concentration point for insects. The surface of the grain is the likely pldce to look for danger signs, A patch of snow, or tough grain from a roof-leak can be readily found from a surface examination and for this reason it is an essential' precau- tion to examine the surface of grain in a bin at least every two weeks. If infestations are found in stored grain on the farm, samples should be taken to the local elevator agent to obtain information and - advice on control measures. Because of the huge stocks of grain on hand-and the serious storage problem, vigilance on the farm is es- sential, first to protect the producer's own stocks, and secondly to ensure that his grain do¢s not contaminate larger stocks of stored grain, (This. article was taken. from. a Winnipeg paper.
