To Examine Rat Killed By Father As Baby Attacked Windsor, Ont,, Jan. 21 (CP)~Dr, John Howie, Medical Officer of Health, sald today the body of a giant rat killed in a baby's crib in the three-room flat occupied by the John Thomas Brown family will be examined to see if it carries dan- gerous disease germs, Yesterday, Mrs. Brown reported the rat had molested her 17-month. old son Larry, as he slept in his crib, Mr, Brown killed the 14-inch rodent with a* hammer, Mrs, Brown sald the house was infésted by "armies" of fits which ate food if it was left open for more than an hour, and which had scratched the baby on several other occasions, The Browns have four other children, Dr, Howie sald two inspectors have been sent to inspect the premises and declared that he in- tended to examine the scratches suffered by the boy. Mackenzie King (Continued from Page 1) profiteering" in essential commo- dities and food services. Dealing extensively with the prices problem, Mr, King conceded that there may be individuals or corporations who are taking ad- vantage of an exceptional position or opportunity to charge "exorbi- tant" prices, but expressed the be- lief the powers of investigation, "rigidly, legitimately and carefully exercised" will go far towards remedying these social wrongs. Announcing appointment of the committee, he said: "The House will be asked to,give the committee the obama ers to ascertain the faets with regard to the causes that have operated or are operating adverse- ly to affect the cost of living, To Probe Cases "Provision will be made for in- quiry 'into cases where there are reasonable grounds for believing that increases in prices are due to a course of conduct which is unjust and unreasonable in relation to the production, distribution and ex- change of commodities and ser vices essential to human well- being, "On this committee, provision will be made for the representa- tions of members of all political parties. : "As it js the public interest the investigation,is' to serve, the com- mittee, subject to reservations the committee itself may deem advis=- able to make, will be expected to hold its hearings in public." While the committee will not have powers of prosecution, its "mere existence," to say nothing of its work, will help to "slow down the increases," and in cases where, for example, there has been or is hoarding or profiteering, to effect a reduction in prices. At the same. time, Mr, King blamed Canada's high price struct- ure on the advances abroad and said the "real cure" was production, not only Canada, but also in the countries with which Canada trades. Mr, King .turned down sugges-, tions that the government return to the wartime system of over-all price control, terming it "purely a war measure" which could succeed only if accompanied by controls over wages, salaries and costs of production. He rejected, too, proposals that subsidies be re-introduced and pointed to a recent British Govern. ment announcement that it will provide no additional subsidies for the purpose of holding down con- sumer prices, . Turning to the international scene, Mr, King accused Commun. ists of aiming at global domina= tion 'and called upon the "free" nations of the world to "maintain a preponderance of military strength on the side of freedom." He denounced Communism as a 'new and terrible menace" and used some of the strongest lan- guage of his career--but without mentioning Soviet Russia by name, Launching into a denunciation of Communism ip his long speech before 800 delegates, he waved his manuscript for emphasis as he declared: "Today the signs of the new tyranny that seeks world domina- tion are unmistakable. Commun- ism is no less a tyranny than Nazism." He continued: "Let us not speak of having entered upon an era of peace, where all about us are evi~ dences of strife. Let us not allow another wolf-like menace to mas- querade in sheep's clothing, seek- ing, all the while, whom it may devour." "So long as Communism re- mains as a menace to the free world, it is vital to the defence of freedom to maintain a pre- ponderance of military strength on the side of freedom and to secure that degree of unity among the nations which will ensure that they cannot be defeated and de- stroyed one by one." Mr, King, speaking earnestly and with deep conviction, charged that Communism's aim was world conquest, It hoped to effect its purpose by force. Its patterns of procedure, compared to Nazism, were similar but they went fuugher. "They séek to create unrest in all quarters of the globe, and, by devious underground and under- hand methods, to penetrate and undermine the established social systems of many lands," . Mr. King said that the world "is in an appallingly dangerous con- dition today." He urged 'liberal-minded people to promote the "great principles" set forth in the United Nations Charter but cautioned them not to believe that the words of any charter "can. effect anything in themselves" unless where force threatens' "it can be kept at bay by superior force." ; He advocated the formation of an international military force under the United Nations. "If 'properly prganized, the force required to provide security would have the power to save from destruction those who have at heart the aim cf creating better condi- ons. a '| standing friend of the local Kiwa. in prices -erdale' Club, also delivered brief in Labor Lauds Plan To Scan Living Costs Toronto, Jan. 21--(CP)--Spokes- men for labor and farm groups to- day expressed approval of tme plan to establish a parliamentary come mittee investigate causes for ine creases the cost of living--but some questioned the power of such a committee to act, "fast enough," Eamon Park, public relations di- rector of the United Steelworkers of America (C.1.0,), commenting on the announcement in Ottawa last night by Prime Minister Mackenzie King, said it is "a step in the right direction," But he added: "It is a question if a House of Commons committee can get into action fast enough to give us the immediate relief from high prices we need." Mr, King's announcement said the committee also will inquire into cases where hoarding and profiteer~ ing is suspected, George H, Reynolds, Secretary of the Toronto Wholesale Fruit and Produce Merchants' Association, sald: "The blic will be better served when it knows what the facts are." V. 8. Milburn, Secretary of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, sald: "If there's a big bad wolf in this prices situation, then such an vestigation should reveal it ,,.J the farmers will welcome it as we have nothing to hide." .C, H, Millard, Canadian Director of the US.W.A, sald the investiga- tion "should not be limited to re- tail prices , . . the entire gamut of prices should be studied, from the original cost of material through manufacturing and wholesale pro- cess right down to the consumer." John Lenglet, Research Director of the United Packinghouse Work« ers of America (C.1.0.), said "There is need for an investigation of the meat-packing industry" but added he was 'dubious whether this new committee will accomplish very much," W. E. Tummon, Secretary of the Ontario Hog Producers' Association, suggested a complete probe of the meat industry--from farmer to cons sumer, Urges Kiwanis Members Work | Hard For Club It was just like "old home week" at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, held yes. terday at the Hotel Genosha, when Kiwanlan Bill Cockburn, a long- nians, was present as guest speaker. Snappy repartee and humorous witicisms are always a pleasant por. tion of Kiwanian Bill's talks at the Oshawa Club but yesterday he in. troduced an: innovation when he was thrice introduced. Kiwanlan Ey, Disney: introduced the speaker in the customary polite vein but Kiwanians Ed, Mitchell, well-known Kiwanis Boys' Clubs supervisor of the Toronto Club and Albert Hinton, president of the Riv. troductory speeches, fore.telling Ki- wanlan Cockburn's address with commentary remarks of the "rib. bing" variety, In so doing, they completely fooled the Oshawa Ki- wanians for when he finally did launch into his toplo, Kiwanian Bill delivered an interesting and chal- lenging address, and as close as Mr, Cockburn can get almost strictly serious, Everyone Must Work Kiwanian Bill charged each Ki. wanian, as a member of at lgast one or more committees, that the suc. cess of any club depends on the work that must be done by the com- mittee, not only by the chairman of any committee, but by his individ- ual members, "Life in Kiwanis is too short to waste. If you have a committee chairman or a member who will not work, make a change," the speaker urged. Dealing with the various phases of Kiwanis activity as well as the objectives for 1648, the speaker out. lined a number of suitable slogans which could™e adopted by various committees, as well as enumerating their respective jobs and duties. In talking of the Kiwanis objective of world peace, Kiwanian Bill Cock- burn stated, "remember that peace begins on your own street, on my street, it begins in your own home, in my home." One of the several suggestions which the speaker extended was that Oshawa Kiwanlans should or ganize to conduct a campaign to create more interest in the privil- ege of franchise and so create in. terest in the community that a much greater percentage of citizens would exercise thelr right to vote, "Be Jealous of Club" In conclusion, Kiwanian Bill Cockburn wished the Oshawa Club success in the year 1948, "You have one of the finest clubs in Kiwanis, You stiould nat only be proud of your club but you should be jeal. ous of its reputation. Work for your club and keep its interests first," he charged, Kiwanlan Walter Famme voiced the appreciation of the club to the. guest speaker and to his party, Ki wanians Ed, Machell, Albert Hinton, and Kiwanian (Alderman) Charlie Rowntree of Toronto, who accom- panied the speaker also, During the meeting, Secretary Jack Fry read the minutes of the last Directors' meeting, held last Wednesday.

One high-ranking provincial Lib- eral sald he thought personally Mr. King meant he would accept re- nomination as party leader at the convention, On their face, he said, the Prime Minister's remarks also could be in- terpreted as meaning that he want- ed to give up the party leadership as soon as possible but would be willing to carry on as head of gov- ernment until the new man found his feet, The new leader, temporarily at least, appeared without question new to be External Affairs Minister Louis 8t.
