Fhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Om Page 6 Monday August 1960 Full Employment Can Mean Full Dictatorship Full employment is =a deceptive phrase. In 1945 it was used to describe the effort to bring about orderly transition of the economy from wartime to peacetime conditions, It has also been defined as a situation in which all em- ployable workers have jobs, And it has often been given an added meaning, one that implies that a government is res- ponsible for seeing that everyone, always, has a job -- and that in turn implies that the state direct the national eco- nomy so that no one capable of work is an ever out of work, That is an attractive and plausible idea to those who cannot find work or who have difficulty hanging on to jobs. Unfortunately, they do not seem to give much thought to the power that would have to be given to government to bring about such a condition Speaking in the Upper House during the recent session of Parliament, Senator Thomas A. Crerar put his finger on the point that if is that responsibility, it could not be gov ernment "Is it to be the responsibility of government to find jobs, to provide work at all tines, government to have as we now know it, for the unemployed?" he asked, "If the answer is in the affirmative, if we con- elude that it is the responsibility of gov ernment to see that unemployment is banished from the land, then we must go the further step and consider how we can place our governing authorities in the position where they can discharge that responsibility, I think that is fun. damental' As Senator Crerar recognizes, in any state where the people permit or de mand that government guarantee jobs for all at all times, the means to that end is supreme authority of the state over the individual and the end is jobs that take jobs that workers may want; that is, conscription workers must not of labor, To some theorists, this is an economis cally logical, politically desirable course, Some the party in Britain assumed that peacetime conscrip- be members of Labor socialist party with a clear man- tion would a policy of When the there came into office any government Labor date, its failure to impose compulsory national service was a source of undis- guised chagrin to some of its doctrinaire members.

Why is it that man, today, Is Contrary Opinions Given By Farmers Patrick Nicholson is on vaca. tion, His guest columnist today is Harold Danforth, Conserv tive MP, for Kent, Ontario, Anyone today who engages in, or has made a study of farmin and the whole industry of agricul ture, soon learns that the whole industry is in a very serious position financially, If one puts politice, feuds, destructive riti- cism and hearsay aside and tires to get to the basic problem today, as we must in Oftawa gs farm representatives, a new picture is fast appearing One basic problem 1 have seen very evident, is the fact that farm representatives of the vari. ous and many farm groups here in Canada, on presenting their briefs and recommendations to the department of agriculture, vary very widely on their ap proach to the various major problems, and unfortunately, in more than one instance, have taken directly opposite stands on a question, When this is done, how can we as farmers ever ex- pect a department of government to recommend legislation agree- able to farmers, when we, the very ones concerne d, cannot Agree among ourselves I have more than once been very discouraged, while sitting in on briefs presented to the depart. ment of agriculture, to be a wits ness to their contrary attitudes A glaring example is the request of the Soya Bean Growers and Corn Growers for a higher tariff protection against the importation into Canada of cheaper American grains, Now, this seems a reason- able request, since the tariff against entry info fhe United States is three times as high on corn and $1.20 a bushel on soya beans compared to duty free into Canada, There ls the fact, too, that we do not produ as yet by far our Canadian requir ts It sounds sensible, feasible, good business, and would increase greatly the price return to Cana- dian farmers, Immediately, there is violent opposition from of all people, other farm groups, Daity men are against the duties, it will increase the cost of their concen frates and feeds, The heel cattle men, poultry men, hog-men, fur farmers oppose for the same reason, What can the government dots hands are tied It appears the time is here when the farmer must stop using the government and its represent atives as whipping posts, The success of agriculture cannot be guaranteed by legislation only, The farm industry is starting to regard subsidies as the answer all our problems, They were never designed to put a farmer on easy street, but instead to try to procure for him a fair return on a year's Investment, compared to a drastic loss due to low market selling price which was too often the practice, I submit to you that your own farm representatives need your help, Too often their briefs con- tain a repetition of the: same old requests they have been present: ing for years, The popular course of action today hy your represent atives seems in the main to be ever demanding higher and higher subsidies on more and more crops, with the taxpayers paying the bill, Farmers cannot and will not farm by charity, WHAT'S NEEDED? What then is needed? It must start back at the so-called grass roots level, Instead of standing around criticizing, farmers must attend their local meetings pro- vided for their convenience for the purpose of electing officers and discussing the Important problems of the day, From here of these two grains, and since expansion 1s feasible, another $00,000 acres could be devoted to this production, CABLE FARMING Engines, secured al the top of hills, pull plows and harrows up steep inclines by wire cables in Norway, FOR BETTER HEALTH *9 Visual Trials Faced By Cross-Eyed Child MD worry baby's infant realize aon Herman N, Bundesen, PARENTS often needlessly about their eyes, They fear that the is cross-eyed and fail to that newborn bables can't trol their eye muscles The time to become is when the haby reaches the age of three months, If his eyes are not staight most of the time by that age, it is probably a good idea to tell your pediatrician or family doctor about it HE'LL, WATCH EYES I doubt very much whether the doctor will do anything about it except to wateh the baby's 'eyes for another three months or so.

It Is a known fact that in re cent times, the heads of all the various religious sects have been working to establish a religious unity, they are all holding synods and conferences, and one of the main topics at these meetings has heen to strongly suggest a domes tic revision in the basie thinking of the Church, Even leading politicians and statesmen are ad- vocating a greater unity through religion, as being the only amfswer t the world problems of today, They claim that today's con ditions will never he settled by man, but that the final seftie ment must come from one who is eminently higher than man ~~ God Himself When God Himself gives us » directive, who are we to try and change it, or alter it to suit our own selfish ways of living?
