INFLATIONARY PRICES HARMFUL TO FARMERS An authority in Ottawa hag dis- closed that inflationary price? dur- ing past wars have been distinctly harmful to .,griculture. since the temporary gain from higher prices was more than offset by a protracted and violent period of readjustment. In other words, while an improve- ment in prices for farm products haa been made recently, yet this means that a number of products are still out of line on a reasonable exchange b n sis with wages, prices, and costs in general throughout Canada and a general program of price stabiliza- tion would help the farmer consider- ably from a long range viewpoint. This implies that inflation is an en- emy of the farmer. PROBE OF GAS CONTROL HAS BEEN DEMANDED It is raported along Parliament Hill that the Government has re- ceived demands for an enquiry into the distribution and control of gaso- line and oil supplies in Canada on account of insidious reports circulat- ing throughout the country. It is urged that such a probe could put an end to the storm of criticisms and the flood of rumors which are causing much misundrstanding. It is said that these demands are receiving 1 serious attention in Cabinet circles.
