that that job will be completed it certainly would be too tad after such a fine start if it bogged down halfway v public business one of the chief reasons for the failure of public ownership which is often overlooked is the indifference of the public to the things al ready under its control take our own munici palities for instance how many of the owners go to nomination meetings how many of the owner take any interest in the municipalitys finance except where it concerns themselves we were interested recently in an article in the national home monthly entitled scorebox of mps it was very frank and very en lightening even if it did pick out members one member has missed 23 out of 27 votes in 1048 according to this article the ccf had only 12 per cent absenteeism the liberals had an absentee record of 26 per cent that means that when all the divisions were taken in the commons in the last two years slightly more than onequarter of all the liberals were away at the time the social credit e e 30 p cent mark and the conservatives 31 per cunt the independent groups and individuals run almost to 75 per cent if you think that gov ernment ownership and control is the best thing for canada we suggest reading this art icle in the july issue of national look around your municipality and if you still think such management is going to make a good job of all industry then we suggest you think up u new way of selecting people who are interest ed in their work for government offices s canada can give a lead the business of the world is the business of every canadian said one of our members of parliament a former house leader recently he referred to the two ideologies striving for power in the cockpit of europe and ex pressed- the belief that the survival of cana das democracy depends upon her giving a lead to the world and getting away from any aloofness we must speak in a united voice and ba ready to throw all our weight into the inter national picture to back up our principles here is sound thinking that should penetrate the minds and hearts of canadians every where and make us realize that the fundament al problems today are not concerned with systems of government but with a worldwide conflict of ideologies where do we find a solution to this prob lem men of good will everywhere know that moral standards and the guidance of god are the only sure foundation for personal and life t signs along the way the other day a branch factory in a west- ern ontario town closed down throwing from 40 to 60 employees out of work in eaotern ontario a silver plating concern closed its doors because it could not make the business pay there was no question of a market for its goods but running expenses had increased so greatly that it simply could not make a profit on the goods it was marketing as a matter of fact it was losing money and the management decided to close down rather than face further losses the reason for these losses it attributed to shorter working hours repeated demands for wage increases and a drop in per capita production in british columbia a gold mine shut down recently because the owners had grown tired of losing money at the rate of 15000 a month the shutdown was not from lack of gotd nor for want of a market for the gold but simply because expenses had in creased to such an extent that the mine had ceased to pay this particular mine paid good wages but the employees werent satisfied u rcoently as july 1st they were granted an increase of 100 a day having won this con- cession they demanded that the increase be made retroactive to december 8th which would force the company to pay out another 35000 at this point the directors decided to close down the mine can these be accepted as signs or warnings of approaching economic danger it may be that they arc merely isolat ed cases but we fear that many of caradas smaller industries may in the near future find it difficult to operate profitably in the face of the steadily advancing cost of materi als and the repeated demands for wage in- creases coupled with shorter hours and the fall in per capita production that follows in many instances the employee is entitled to fair wages wages must advance because of the increase in the cost o reiving but on the other hand if industry is o cbntinue to oper ate profitably workers muht tjakpreparsjl to give an adequate return forfho increased wages they are demanding there should be no un necessary wasting of time or loafing on the job during work hours in the overarching ideology of moral re- armament this ideology goes deeper than the political or economic systems over which men disagree its foundation is moral and spiritual conviction upon which all men of goodwill can agree it is a uniting ideology which is proving consistently and on a world scale that men and women of every nation class creed back ground and point of view can unite and fight for what is best for their country in this unity lies the one hope of humanity and every canadian can be part of it nobody knows the trouble its caused headlines of these days indicate the toll that ontarios liquor sales are taking here are examples of one day four beers before car crash driver 18 held responsible heres another from toronto ordered from hotel returns hour later disturber mur dered another story from detroit tells of a mental patient who had a four year de- bnuch on skid row drinking rubbing al cohol and taking aspirins reformed he was launched on a fine musical career just one day in the news and yet we legalize the sale of the stuff that does these things in fact our government is busy making more outlets for consumption whether people want it or not and yet we call the chinese heathens and really clamp down on their opium and drug habits just for a week read your daily newspap ers and note the accidents murders and crime in which alcoholis involved you wont hear of half of it in this way
