invitation to get other signature urging support for admission to canada or a larger number of refugees wo didnt sign or use the petition because we believe the question of admission of refugees is one that demands very careful study and no governing body should bo co erced by petitions often signed by people who have given the matter no study but just a snap decision many splendid citizens havc come to canada from other lands and are playing an important part in the development of the dominion we believe that the important thing to find out about these new citizens who come to make their homes among us is their willingness to forget the customs and political environment in the land they left and adapt themselves to conditions in this new land our way of life without a doubt canadn has plenty of room and opportunity for many more people but wc do not want people who bring with them the thoughts of strife that have made so many countries battlcllelds this north american continent is a peaceloving world we live on such splendid terms with our neighbors that the frontiers are in normal times little more than an imaginary line folks here are content to leave it that way canada can look after many refugees provided they come to canada with the purpose- of becoming canadian and forgetting the land from which they itavc taken refuge we want to be sure and not urge on any government a wideopen policy without restriction- remember what happened in holland after the last war when homeless german children were befriended and later turned on thir friends tbis country would do well to examine carefully nil who seek admission in the postwar period and make sure that they intend to start life anew in the new home it is no time for advocating a widcdpen policy on the grounds of sympathy alone v enlightened and convinced wc were rather interested to read a few weeks rgo an extract from an address by a mr leavens one of the c c f orators and to get in one para graph some of tthc aspiratipns of this new party and here is what the speaker said the ccf is de finitely socialistic make no mistake about that as soon as wc come into power at ottawa we will do three things we are going to socialize canadas whole financial structure we are going to social ize the national processing plants the trusts and the combines we arc going to socialize canadas natural resources the mining am lumbering in dustries that was a pretty clear cut statement and easily understood by us because twentyfive or more years ago wc gave some time and study to socialism and are quite tree to udmit t hud its attractions but socialism isnt new and its been tried under a lot of names and none of them successful its a funny thing that some of the things that the socialist party urged twentyxfive years ago as drastic reforms are now in operation and they didnt come into being because a socialist party had ever been in power in ottawa or on the north american continent we doubt very much if a new group of inexperienced idealists could have put this reform legislation into successful operation no we dont belong to the ccf party we dont condemn them for their dreams either wc need folks who dream dreams and have visions of better conditions for all experience has taught us how ever that it isnt these dreamy folks who conjure up these fine programs who have the ability to bring them into reality- folks all have a lot of talent and it all seems to be different which is perhaps fortunate we need a few of those dreamers and we need a lot of those whoriavc the initiative and the ability to bring dreams to realization some way or ether we seldom and these two elements both in the same carcass were relieved to have mr leavens interpreta tion of the ccf and the assurance that the party is new in name only some way or other new names have lost their attraction for us and we find wc are i ike most other voters in this respect although the ccf isnt the first party to try out the new name theory just read that paragraph again and a grain of common sense will tell you how little mr leavens knows of realities as soon as wc come into power jgar ottawa we will do three things and then mr coldwcll tells you the ccf plans will take years the orily difference teems that mr coldwcll is gaining by experience and has been at ottawa re forms will come to canadians just as soon as nil canadians are ready for them and capable of con ducting themselves under the now cbnditions three initials and a lot of promises dont add up to sweep ing changes as soon as wc come into power at ottawa thanks again mr lcuvcns for that little paragraph of elucidation v wage comparison the average earnings of iniile wageearners uus 1141 in urban centres ot 30000 population and over according to federal government figures re cently issued while male workers in places having u jopulution ot 50w to 10000 averaged ruw those in centres trom 1000 to 5000 earned an aveiage ol 1005 and under 1000 population the average pay was hi for employed female workcis the annual wage scaled from 510 to 5l according to popu lation at first glance the statistics appear to favor em ployment in the larger cities because of the com- i nratively higher annual wage in urban localities examination of the tables however shows that the difference in pay for dwellers in large communities i not n great deal more than that lor workers in small towns rf matter of only 5 per year between the two highest male categories and only 30 be tween the first and third male brackets women workers in towns from 1000 to 5000 population averaged 87 per year less than for their big city sisters the cold figures moreover do not take into account the lower cost of living in small places com pared with expenses in metropolitan areas for instance they do not show city workers spend 3750 in a year for streetcar transportation to and from work in a great majority of cases restaurant meals are relatively high in large centres rents taxes and other normal expenses are considerably higher in the cities and even the cost of a theatre admission is greater in large places to mention one luxury the householder in a village can also have the advantage of n garden fruit trees berry bushes nnd a few chickens to help reduce everyday costs in a small town too places of employment stores the theatre nnd the church arc often just around the corner affording the saving of time which is a factor in economy people in small towns may not draw cityscale wages but lit is safe to say ordinary economics more than mnko up the difference v editorial notes nazis imprison premiers wife action taken as reprisal against inrifah government leader in london ijonixdn cp mme
