By Audrey Watts McNaughton and the resulting and much-pub- licised resignation this week of a Labour M.P.,, who in his dra- matic speech compared the gov- ernment, in which he was Un- der-Secretary until a year ago, to a, "Leaky dam, instead of the bulwark against Communsim which it-should be", it is possible that the voting public will awak- en to the fact that their British freedom is fast diminishing. Private enterprise, which has done much to build the Empire, has been condemned as, "unfair distribution of wealth", but there are certain inconsistencies in the government's attitude. For in- stance the Chairman of the Steel Board will receive $60,000. per year for holding this position. Charities which exist on public subscriptions will be major suf- ferers as private companies don- ated large sums from their pro- fits and these will, of course, au- tomatically cease. It does seem unfortunate that at this paricular time when world conditions are far from placid, effeciently-run or- ganizations should come under the experimenting management of the government. There are nearly three times as many civil servants now on the govern ments pay-roll as there were in 1939, which is hound to make public services' staffs unwieldy and reduce their efficiency. One thing which continues to surprise me, is the slating the government takes on it's own, owned and operated B.B.C. Con- servative speakers express their Stirling ord Forty-Niner" -Dynes T. S. H.

Prices here, as far as I can tell, are pretty much on par with prices at home. However, consid- ering the increase at home in the last few years and realising how much lower the cost of living was here as compared to that in Can- ada before the war, it is not sur- prising that people tell me I could hardly realize the change in Eng- land, economically, in the last few years. This of course, is a natur- al outcome of war, but for those who have lived here and seen the change it is discouraging, The country is as lovely as it ever was though, and one doesn't have to fill in a form to enjoy the scen- ery, that is unless you optimist- ically try to get more petrol! The form-filling is an endless process, even the smallest govern- ment controlled purchase seems to-require signatures. Who checks all the forms is anyone's guess, but it certainly boosts the paper consumption. I heard recently of a man whose firm required a small quantity of lumber. The forms were filled in but the pur- chase was not completed until nine letters and three telegrams had been exchanged. He said stamped on the last envelope with the postmark was the re- minder to, "Save Paper!" The National Health Scheme re- quires a great deal of paper work also, and even civil servants make the occasional error as wit- opinions anyway but conservat-|nessed by the unfortunate ax of a gentlemen in Wssex. He wrote the following letter to one of the daily papers. clim- "Sir: I have just returned from hospital after an appendix oper- ation, The National Insurance benefit warrant has just come and in the 'reason for benefit' column is typed, "Maternity Ben- efit", "Now they didn't give me the baby when I left the hospital and I don't know where to apply for it. Heaven knows what my wife will say!" It was suggested that he get the Insurance people to break the news to her.
