AIOE PINRIAN'S Object of Plan Is To Remedy German Economic Problems An important announcement re- cently was that the United King- lom will join the United States in unifying their zones of occupa- tion in Germany The proposal was made necessary by Russia's repudiation of the Potsdam agree- ment, to which Premier Stalin was a party in July last year, for the economic unity of all the four zones, says the St. Thomas Times Journal. German unity was deemed desirable as an effective remedy for the German economic problems, and also to restore Ger- many to the comity of trading na- tions, buying in and selling to the commercial world at large. Such a procedure would also be impor- tant as a forward step in four- power co-operation for solving the main problems of peace. The Western powers want to break down, not to increase, the barriers between Eastern and Western Germany, General McNarney, the United States commander in Germany has publicly stated from his ex- perience that there is cconomic creeping paralysis in the Reich. Conditions are worst in the Brit. ish zone where there is the great- est industrial agglomeration and the smallest percentage of farm- lands thus creating a shortage of food which the Russians. with the bulk of the agricultural land and the most food. decline to alleviate, even at a price. The result is that the hard-pressed British have made sacrifices to send food to Germany at a cost equivalent to $300.000,000 a year. so that the extrordinary situation arises that Britain, the conquering country, is actually paying reparations to Ger- many instead of being paid. France is also likely to join the Anglo-American cconomic zone, U. K. Reconversion Is Delayed By Labor Shortage Britain's reconversion to full ci- vilian production still is far from complete, delayed by labor shor-- tages, slowness of plant altera- tions, lack of machine tools and government control bottlenecks. Raw materials are in better sup- ply than manpower in most indus- tries although scarcity of coal, tim- ber and structural steel is causing some anxiety. Unwillingness of pre-war work- ers to return to their old type of work is providing a long-term problem for some of the coun- try's basic industries. Almost every manufacturing plant needs more skilled workers and a better-balanced working force. Discharges from the armed services have been largely coun- tered by retirement from indus- try of married women and elderly persons. The industrial labor force is about 1,100,000 smaller than in 1939. . Coal mining, basis of Britain's industrial economy, has 60,000 fewer workers than before the war; cotton spinning and weaving has 105,000 less; iron foundries 30,000 less. Reduced output in these lines indirectly affects a wide range of other industries. There is a general shortage of women workers in the light in- dustries and finishing trades. Au- tomobile production is hampered by a shortage of electrical equip- ment, blamed by manufacturers on a lack of women employees in Midlands factories, Experimental Farms Fine Investment Maintaining the Dominion Ex- perimental Farm set-up costs cach Canadian citizen about 20 cents annually, according to a statement made by a farm official recently, Results indicate that this modest annual investment brings hand- some dividends to the nation, and to the farmer. In reviewing the development of crop varieties and farm practice from the opening of the territories to the present day, a remarkable story of skill and per- scverance on the part of the farm scientists is revealed.

SPOTS OF SPORTS By FRANK MANN HARRIS -oe >o oo. ("A Six Bit Critic") The other cvening, via radio, we heard what struck us as a very fine piece of music, bearing a most ridiculous title. In fact the ttle was more than ridiculous; it was pediculous, (Look it up in the dictionary; we had to.) * * * The name of this picce was "Harold in Italy" by Hector Ber- lioz. And just why M. Berlioz, after doing such an impressive chore of music-writing, should go and tag it with a title which re- minds you of something from the "Little Rolo Series" in the old Sunday School Library, is consid- erable of a mystery to us, and likely to remain so. For just the sight or sound of such a name is enough to turn most normal-min- ded folks against it; and if we had heard it announced before the piece was played, instead of after, we are quite sure we would have dialed something clse, and so mis- sed out on a real pleasure, * * * Which brings up the old ques- tion of why so many sports wri- ters, who should know better, still insist on putting the blast of the name "BOXLA"" on the noble sport of Lacrosse. Oh, yes, we know that "Boxla" saves three let- ters, and makes the labor of the hard-worked headline-writer just that much casier. And we also know that there was a time when two forms of the game were be- ing played, the indoor or abbrevia- ted type and the full-size or out- door, so that there might have been some excuse for trying to keep the two separate. * »* » But now? Well to one person at least, and we know we are not unique in this, the sight of such a sports page heading as "SOAND- SO WINS CLOSE BOXLA GAME" brings the same sort of feeling of faint repulsion as, say, getting down twenty minutes late for the last call for breakfast at an American-plan hotel, and sccing your fried eggs staring at you, cold and clammy, on the platter. * * * Just imagine the young swain of today calling up his one-and-on- ly and saying, "Big doings tonight, sugar; let's drag it over to the Boxla game." Doesn't it sound just too ginger-peachy for words? .For Heavens' sake, boys, have a heart; We know that white pap- er is scarce these days But try and spare enough of it to call a real game by its real name--La- crosse, If you don't, we'll pray that you lose your clipping-scis- sors; and what a dire calamity that would be, nobody should know better than we, * " * Follwers of the sport of har- ness-horse racing must have rubbed their eyes with amazement when a recent issue of Collier's Magazine devoted a whole feature article--with pictures in 'Techni- color, no less--to the trotters and pacers. I'or no longer is their fa- vorite pastime one relegated to country fairs and half-mile tracks, but real big-time stuff, with one track alone averaging better than seven thousand daily attendance, and a mutual play running into more than twenty-five million for the season, ; * * * Biggest reason for this startling revival of a sport once thought to be dying is the new travelling star- ting gate, which cuts to a mini- mum the long delays and many false breaks which were so weari- some to the average customer, Now, with tls contraption, they can get the horses away just as promptly as on the running tracks, and a visitor can go to a harness meet confident that he won't have to spend half his afternoon listening to the recall bell and seeing the sulkies coming back for another attempt as a start - - * Replacement of the books by mutuels has been another pepper- upper; for it was hard for casual visitors to get used to the sight of the harness-horse bookmakers slate, on which anything more lib- eral than seven-to-five was con- sidered a long-shot, or so it seem- ed. But perhaps there was a reason for this, as it behooved the odds- layer to walk carefully and con- duct himself exceedingly cannily, As one famous bookmaker said to us, on an afternoon when we had remarked that his odds didn't scem to err on the side of over-gencr- osity, "In this game you've got to watch yourself cvery single minute. : They talk about speed- balls and * batteries. for race hor- ses! You sce that horse there, that I've got on the slate at one- to-two? I can cut two scconds off the time he made in his last heat just by changing that price in- to two-to-one, and letting some of these sharpshooters ger aboard at that figure." * . * It was that same bookmaker who, when we asked him what size of a bankroll he carried to start a day's booking, answered that he carried none at all, "A guy that needs a bankroll to make book," he said, quite seriously, "isn't a bookmaker at all--he's just a gambler." Which may be a clue to the my- stery of why, in all types of sports gambling, the layers always seem to last longer than us players. Vision, Skill, Work % Make Rich Farm Just what a combination of vi- sion, plus hard work and skill can do is seen on a farm ncar lLon- don, Ont, where the Belgian- born owner has just refused $32,- 000 for land, which only six years ago "just wouldn't grow a thing", says the Niagara [Falls Review. By judicious application of farm- ing skill and fertilizer the farmer has made of it one of the richest tobacco farms in that area. DPer- haps there is a lesson in it for some of us who are too prone to think something cannot be done. Canada Removes Pegged Wheat Prices Trade Minister MacKinnon an- nounced last week in the Com- mons the removal of the pegged price of $1.55 a bushel for Can- ad's export wheat sales, except to Britain, and said a "serious" ef- fort will be made to sell at prices "roughly corresponding" to those of the United States. The United States price for ex- port wheat sales now i3 over the $2-a-bushel mark. Mr. MacKinnon said the peg- ged price of $1.55 would remain in effect only for contract coun- tries, such as Britain, which last week signed a four-year contract for 600,000.000 bushels of Canad- ian wheat and wheat flour. He said in his announcement: "With regard to cxport prices, the supplies for the United King- dom will obviously he sold with- in the terms of the contract. "In sales to non-contract coun- tries, a serious cffort will be made to sell at prices roughly corres- sponding to those of the other principal suppher--now, the Uni- ted States "T'o this end, order-in-council P. C. 6122 of Sept. 19, 1945, has been revoked. "It will be remembered that through this order the govern: ment directed the Canadian Wheat Board for the time being not to exceed a sales price of $1.- 55 per bushel for No. | Northern in store [Fort William-Port Ar- thur of Vancouver in its export sales". Electric Car's Speed - 50 Miles Per Hour So far electrically-driven cars have only been used as small de- livery vans because the weight of the accumulators only: permitted low speeds. It has now 'been made known that one of Britain's lead- ing motor manufacturers, working with an electrical engineering firm, has been carrying out sccret ex- periments with an clectric car and that these experiments have been cPowned with success. The new car is capable of 60 miles per hour. Up to the pres- ent the weight of the batteries' lead cell-plates has been the main handicap in the development of electric cars. After years of research work it has now been found possible to use magnesium which is much lighter.

S. Dollars In This Country The Financial Post Advises Against Trying To Spend Canadian Money In U. S. A Canadian recently passing through Butte, Montana, ran short of U.S. money. While he awaited more funds by wire the banks were closed, so he tried to use some of the tiny supply of Cana- dian dollars allowed him by owuc forcign exchange control. This ia- cident was before the parity move, 50 ne offered his doli.rs at a dise count. He reports as follows: "Gasoline stations just laughed or cursed me off the premises when 1 besoupht them to give me some American dollars for my 10 Canadian dollars. At the railway station | got just an unpatient snap, 'No, wouldn't touch it." At the of- fices of a big awhne (which is caperly toying to get flymyg rights mto Canada) the answer was 'Nothing to do with that stuft". la several stores, w!ere the money was offered mo payment of pro- posed purchases, the wrndowns were all detinite and immediate, varying only mm the degree of hos- tility. At the Finlen Motel, rated by some as the leading purveyor f hospitality, the refusal was im- mediate from cashier, and higher officials. It cluded a collection of cracks of a nature designed to be uncomphimentary to "Canadian money and Canadians. A Helpful Suggestion "In more helpful mood, one by- stander suggested trying a gambl- ing joint. 1 did. It wasnt hard to fird because it had one of the bigest and brightest electric sigus on the main street. Stretching fae back down one side was the bar. The other half was crowded with men sitting around green Dbaize tables with cards, dice, chips. The cashier directed me to the loss, a stubby, bald gent who was prompt- ly sympathetic. Holding my 10 dollar bill close under a strong light and peering at it long and critically, he finally said, 'Perhaps it's okay'. He added, 'It certainly ain't as nice a thing as good money like ours'. He discounted at 20 pec cent, gave me eight American." Poor Consulation "This American attitude to our money is pretty hard to take. You can try consoling yourself with the theory that foreign exchange is a complex thing which only a few people ever cxperience. But home in Canada there isn't a business house, hotel, store, gasoline station or anything else in city, village or 'back bush' that hesitates a mo- ment to accept U.S. currency and to give the correct exchange along with it. And our folks don't add any cracks as to what they think of the visitor's country, his brains or his character." We report the story here for thls reason? Though the Canadian dollar is now at par with the American, don't cxpose. yourself te nuisance and insult by trying to use Cana- dian money in the United States. Arguments Useless Once you get beyond border points and the hotel cashiers of centres like New York and Chi- cago, don't suppose hat you will readily find people who have cver heard of dollar parity, or who un- derstand what it means, if they frave. Keep your blood pressure dowr by mving them no opportua- ity for comment on the value of our money, or you or on our coun- try. You may find some private pride in the estimates of the experts that Canada's present position and the upward flight of U.S .prices make the Canadian dollar worth not just 100 American cents but at least 110 American and it may well go higher. Though that is a Washing ton estimate, we advise against arguing the point with some of ous informants midwest patriots. Canada's Place In Industrial World While not one of the great powers (a rapidly narrowing cate- gory), Canada by 1945 had deme onstrated a strength that was sur=- passed by that of not more than a half dozen of the nations of the world, says H. L. Keenleyside ia the International Journal, Among the United Nations the industrial production of Canada was cxceeded only by that of the United States, the Union bf So viet Socialist Republics, and the United Kingdom. Before the end of the WN with Japan, Canada had the urth, if not the third, navy in the world. Financially, only the United States is today, at the end of the war, in a better position to provide capital for for- cign investment or the develop- ment of backward areas. A In addition to these things, Can ada, through her resources in stras tegic materials, occupies a position of importance in the industeial and military world that is not af ways recognized even by Canad- ians themselves, os MINN Sos : a) £7 ERE SR i 2 eT tT Be Phe ht, Bd Sr --- EN a A J ~ = AEF rel » a hy
