seventh and final of a series of weekly stories which elliott moses a director of the on tario plowmens association is writing about the visit of canadas champion plowmen to the british isles this is the final letter in the 1049 canadian plowmen series our trip j is over and we are back in canada with a new knowledge of condi tions in the old land we have also gained a still grea- tcr appreciation of our own country and tho standard of living we en- joy here perhaps this is because more than j during our stay in britain we heard the opinion ex- pressed that the peoples lives are i becoming nationalized to such an extent that they are gradually los ing some of their rights as demo cratic citizens whether this is true or not we jo not in a position to judge our general impressions of conditions in britain are on the whole favour able it is true that they are passing through strenuous and un certain times and that the currency situation is bad but on the other hand despite privations they re main cheerful and calm and seem to feel that their present difficul ties are only temporary we didnt find the same worrying about the futurc and about the possibility of war as there is in this country and certainly not nearly as much as in the united states atrlthds farm highly mechanised the farms we visited were not only mechanized but employed the moat modern and efficient methods and had higher crop yield than 5ntarlo farms we were quite amazed at the advanced stage of mechanization of farms in britain the ttablea were spotless and the tnllk was handled so carefully that u was not exposed to the air be fore it reached the consumer during our travels we came in contact with the farmer the indus trialist and the ordinary business man strange to say no one ap peared to be in accord with the present labour government yet all sjitiw to feel that their program is the right one to pull the country together most of the people we talked to expressed the opinion that in the event of an election the government would be reelected be cause its policy has been to ivorove conditions for the labottv class which holds the balance of power it is quite evident that the average citizen feels that the labour gov ernment has come to stay for a while at least if this is true i be lieve one can expect to nee the old governmental policies that have been adhered to for generations greatly revolutionized we were interested to learn the britisher reaction to the of the governments itfa canada zvmty- t particularly the farm to regret and even re- sympathy for canada and said the action was a poor return for the part canada had played in the war and postwar years in providing men money and supplies to help them through however they did feel that it was probably the only course open to the government in view of the countrys critical dollar position while we were anxious to learn all we could about conditions in britain the british people appear- ed eager for information about canada wherever we went we were biiniel with questions some of culire were quite impos sible to answer like the man who afced if we knew his cousin in saskatchewan when spokesman at social func- j tions i emphasized that in canada j there is a fine spirit of cooperation between the agricultural industry and business as an example i ci ted the fact that canadian firms have been most generous in donat ing prizes for our county and in ternational matches and that the expenses of our trip were paid jointly by two companies- need international plowinr rules this is the third year that can adian plowmen have visited brit ain and i believe it has been profit able both for us and for the british farmers however there is an ur gent need for greater uniformity in regulations type of plows used and standards of judging at the matches as things stand the can adians are at a disadvantage when competing in britain and the same applies when the british compete in canada british plowmen are anxious to participate in canadian matches and plans arc underway to make this possible it is hoped that the english team will be able to get sponsors who will take care of their expenses on tho same basis as the firms who sponsor us- a trust fund has been established for this purpose and mr l a greene of port arthur ontario is trying to interest canadian business men in subscribing to tills fund bar greene came from workington england and la a vicepresident and a canadian representative of the workington agricultural soci ety i sincerely hope mr greenes efforts will be successful because these exchange visits are helpful in promoting understanding and cooperation between our two coun tries- the boys and i hnve returned to canada with a great admiration for tho british people with courage and a steadfast determination they uro going about tho task of build ing up their country all the people we met did every thing possible to make our stay en joyable and we
