d archibald director of research for the liquor control board of ontario the problem is by no means new going back almost as far as civilisation itself mr archibald reviewed the course alcoholism took and tald the typical alcoholic starts young by the time he is 25 the first tangible indication 01 his affliction appears it was the liquor control board s intention mr archibald said to continue a thorough study into this problem and the primary purpose of his remarks was to seek the delegatus cooperation vi hen his department called on them in the future for assistance in the compilation of alcoholic statistics if it might be asked he said why this study was being undertaken by the board i would ask you to underline and note the word control that word is now being interpreted in the broad sense to include not only legislative measures with respect to sale but also to include control of the drinking habits of the people with par ticular reference in this case to the excessive drinker and the alcoholic greatest canadians what canadians have contributed most to our national development since the beginning of the century the financial post puts this question to nearly a

habit of drunken ness that the root of the disease is the unsatls- fled demand for profit and greed for more money is the subject of a front page article in the temperance advocate j some years ago e thorough study and report on the beverage alcohol business by the rocke feller foundation had thocondusiom the profit motive is the core of the problem unless that motive is divorced from the retail tale of spiri tuous liquor unless society as a whole can take ever the business in the protection of its citiens the future at least in america holds only the prospect of an endless guerilla warfare between a nation fighting for temperance and a traffic that thrives on excess it is plain that the materials cost of beer and spirits is very low beer materials cost at the rate of one cent per glass which sells for 0 cents hard liquor materials for e sixty cent cocktail cost less than e cent here in a word is a business in which the profit motive is et its highest and monopoly control is fully eighty per cent effective thlt however 1s only e part of the profits story the bigger half of me profit scoop is made at the stock market level canadas biggest breweries common stock sold et 60 cents

taxes why watar b taarae one reason for the shortages it that the demand for water by cities and industry has more than doubled in the last 15 veers air conditioning expanding industries sewage dis posal and a hundred new uset ere dreining off daily millions more gal ton of water with the result that the underground level it being stead ily lowered it is generally agreed however that the greater reason it the general waste of natural resources uplands have been stripped of trees and water allowed to run off into ttreamt and rivers experts tell ut that an acre of mature forett land will absorb and return to the water table 500 timet as much rainfall as an acre of land put to quickyield crops the importance of forest reclamation plant ing of farm wood lots and even shelter belts m both the east and west is therefore emphasized if we continue to strip our forests without re planting there are bound to im increasing water shortages this is a conversation argument that city dwellers are beginning to appreciate almost as much as those persons who have seen fertile areas converted into dust bowls and who have suffered greatly as a result winnipeg tribune japan coet modarn things are apparently picking up in japan signs of progress have not been too numerous lately but it finally looks as though the japanese have at inst introduced a modernization project nimed at raising their status in the eyes of the rest of the world reason for their claim to modernization comes from a report issued recently by kyoto news agency in tokyo according to the report japan s leading industry textile manufacturing is going modern in a big way a new type of cotton spinning machinery says the release expected to cut the production costs m japanese mills by about 10 per cent has been installed tn three of the major plants in the country this new machinery is needed to cope with the potft war problem of higher labor costs if it werent for the fact that this information contains serious ramifications for a great many canadians the statement would be extremely ludicrous the socalled higher labor costs in japanese textile mills represent a wage system which is close to outright slave labour for example a girl employed in a japanese textile mill must work ten hours a day six days a week for a year and a half to earn the equivalent of one weeks salary paid to a young woman employed in a canadian textile plant if the wages presently paid in japan represent a post war problem of higher labour costs canadians can shudder to think what japanese wages will be when the post war problem is eliminated editoftftal notfs not tuch e favourable season for sewer work this year at was experienced lest winter the canadian wtrvler it nor fully coope ralmg with john l lewis this
