A representa- tive number of them, when in- terviewed, made it plain that they do not expeet, or desire, extraor- "dinarily high prices for their produce. They realize the _dan- pers of -inflation. They know what troubles follow the tempor- ary advantages of fantastic values 'placed on food. Probably a general survey of farmers throughout Canada would reveal substantially the same view, There are a few, of course, who are all for inflated prices, and these, unfortunately, are the most vocal, They can create the impression that all farmers are seeking the immediate benefits of inflation, and- are unable to see the perils of such a develop- ment.

Younger mem- bers of the family were being cross-examined by Churchill when suddenly Miss Holle turned the tables and asked him what he would most like to do. Without a moment's hesitation, Churchill flashed back: "I should like to be prime min- ister of England." At that time he had held most of the important jobs in the cab- inet. He ~had been minister of war, first lord. of the admiralty, minister of colonies, chancellor of the exchequer, minister of muni- tions, home sgcretary and head of the Board of Trade. But he had never been prime minister.
