We know that strange things can be done with figures but some econ- omists have told us that net profits are today three times as great as those made in 1939, This leads us to ask the question whether the price increases that we, as consumers, have been forced to pay were necessary be- cause of higher wages and increased costs, We don't think that there are many people in this country who are earning wages three times what they earned in 1939. Some of our good Liberals and not a few of pur Conservatives are beginning to say openly that in- dividuals or corporations who seek to make - unfair profits are an even greater menace to our Canadian de- mocracy than the Communists whom no sensible people take seriously any- way. There are many good reasons why our government should re-impose the excess profits tax; it should never have been removed in the first place. in excess "LIBERALISM! WHAT IS IT?" The new Liberal platform states clearly . and forcibly that it stands for '"Unalterable" opposition to any coalition between the Federal Liberal Party and any other party." Many Progressive Conservatives and some Liberals have talked amalgamation during the last few years but the cen- tral idea of liberalism itself prevents a compromise. The word means 'favourable to progress or reform'. It argues that those who are liberals in the true sense of the word must deal with the need. of the hour and think Watch your label; it tells whem your $2.00 per year in advance.

Because it has not been the custom of the party to do certain things does not argue that it must never do them. For instance, we have generally accepted the idea that turning privaté institutions over to the government is a radical move and can only come to us.from a left-wing party. This is not true and it need not be true provided the result is for the true good.of the individual and the nation, We have socialized our railways, roads, postal system and schools to the great good of the country and the individual. Where socialization meets these two requirements it is right and may justifiably come from basic idea of liberalism. In fact it is inevitable in an idea that declares for progress and reform. A recent gallop poll shows that the legislation most appre- ciated by the people has been the liberal goyernments social measures such as the Family Allowande, ete. "Our country is facing definite major issues in the next few years and we must deal with them in a way that brings results. We can only do if we remember that Liberalism is more than a slogan. It has nothing to do with privileges for a few and 'the devil take the hindmost. It has nothing to do, on the other hand with those who cry for uneducated mob rule. Liberalism is the symbol of trua statesmanship. It stands for free and honest. working out of our difficulties whether they be matters of housing or free trade. It stands for a work- ing out of these issues on the ground of what is best for Canada as a whole and for each individual citizen. Liberalism respects the integrity of its citizens.
