night a very pleasant so cial hour was spent during that period bertha allan a bride of this week was presented with a beautiful table lamp by the members una h1u read the address and alice addy was called upon to make the presentation in canada in those countries the packing houses are all either farmers cooperatives or government owned which in canada the packers are prl vately owned in discussing the matter with repre sentative farmers in this county i find that while most farmers agree that more accurate grading results when hogs are rail graded yet they are opposed to this system because of the fact that they do not trust the packers i believe that everything should be done to improve the grade quality or our export bacon and hams as this will mean an increase of our expor many trade and better prices our export the directors of the georgetown pall pair have everything ready for the big show on september 27 and 28 to the united kingdom of bacon ana hams has increased from four mil lion dollars worth in 1933 to thirty million dollars worth last year and everything possible should be done to further increase this very profitable export business but in my opinion it is a very high handed action on the part of ontario packers to take the matter in their own hands wi hout consulting the farmers of this pro vince and without making inspection and grading arrangements agreeable to them so far as i am concerned i will do everything within my power to see that the farmers are fairly treated hughes cleaver kers may have to be regimented to do this and not to do that plants may be taken over to produce essential war supplies farmers may be ordered to grow certain crops and neglect othets hoarding is usually an accompani ment of war as the threat is seen that certain commodities will soon be scarce and high in price governments have to step in to prevent it as much as possible profiteering is another ac companiment that ls met by the fix ing of prices certain essentials such as oil and fuel are likely to soar any way it may be necessary even for a democracy to ration gasoline and other basil materials emotion effects on the emotional side the first ef fects of conflict are stirring there is a truce of ancient divisions of party and religion and a fervour of self- sacrifice the ranks are closed and emotion runs high a state actuated by these sentiments and regimented by a dictatorship works with great smoothness and seeming efficiency for a while it is this ideal for which the extreme planned economy people strive they want all the advantages of wartime psychology without how- i ever the restrictions on the personal liberty which alone make such effici ency possible men like walter lipp- man say that such a goal is unrealistic as war ls today it would seem that north america would become one vast aeroplane and explosive factory sur rounded by fields of wheat and com north america contains a vast store- bouse of the sinews
