OCTOBER l2th. 1933 Humnan Factors Before Material Things It îs supposeci to be very baci policy foi s news- paper to reverse its edîtorial opinion, but it is by far the inost hone-st thing to do when you believe you bave been wroug. Soîne weeks ago we inserteti an editorial ln which we were pretty skeptical of the C. C. F. andi went as far as 10 suggest that it haci no ides of how it woulti accomplisb its purposes, anti il seemiet to us that il leaneti quite perceptibly towartis Commiunism. That was before the Federation issueci its 14 point manifesto, outliniug its policy, anti its methoti of bringing the various reforîns into effect. It was be- fore we hati hearti C. C. F. speakers tell an audience of their ideals. Af rer studying these things we bave come 10 the conclusion that the C. C. F. is flot nearly as obioxious as we hati imagineci. that there are a lot of gooci ideas lu their program, that il is cer- tainly Christian ln ils appeal. sud that it has no odor 0f Communismi in any wsy. Last week between three anti four bundreti people listeneci 10 Dr. Lorua H. Cotton. M.A., prominent among C.C.F. crusaders. outline the Federation ideals in the Town Hall here. What is more, not only di the audience listen attentively 10 ber address, but they f requeully applaudeti ber ideals. Strange to say. she wa nearly as bitter towards political oppon- ents as other politicians are towards each other or are toward.s the C.C.P. She rather pîtieti themn for their lack of unticrstantiing sud their iuability t0 cope wilh the problems that couf rouI the nation. To our minci the 14 points of the C.C.F. manifesto are ail worth wbile. Two of them bear very closely on editorials we have receutly publisheci. suggesling the abolition 0f the Canadian Senate, anti the other on unemploymeut insurance. Despite what the great metropolitan papers have to say about the C.C.F. sud ils supposedly commun- istic tendencies, we are of the opinion that the C.C.F. can each the olt inhe parties many a worthwhile lesson. anti we would not be the ieast bit surpriseti to see elîher olt i ne party steal corsiderable of the Federation's ideas before another election rolîs ar- ounci. We are not suggesting that we are lu agreement witb everything the C.C.F. stands for, or that sîl its policy is practicable. but any organization that puIs buman factors before material things, that believes as ahl Christians shoulci, that sîl have equal rights to live reasonably well, that do not caler to the filu- ancial barons wbo are the real dictators anti rulers of tbis country, bas somethiug new anti worthwhile. Il aI leasl carnies tbrough ils policy a seuse of true British justice. of Christian brotherbooci, anti of f air play that is sadiy iackiug in our Dominion 1f e totiay. Western Canada Needs Your Help Dr. G. I. Christie, Presîdeut of the Ag-ricultural College at Guelph, Miss Lorna Cotton,.MMA., Ph.D., andi our own Stalesman represeutative aI the Van- couver Press Convention, have ahl relatet ini recent local acidresses or writings the dire distress that ex- ists lu certain parts 0f West Canada because of drought sud grasshoppers ruining their crops. Many farmers, one time prosperous. have been re- ducedt 1 abjecu poverly through successive droughts anti crop fallut es, but undauntedt tey carry on, see- iug a brighter day aheaci anti gooci crops lu the fut- ure. At present, however, thousancis of our fellow Can- adîassil the West are sufferiug f rom waut of foodi anti clotbiug, sud as a measure of relieviug this sit- uation Canadians lu the East must do their share. Following a meeting of church representatives of this dlistrict it was decidedt 1 ship a carloaci of foodi and clothing to the west. The rigbt Christian spirit sure- ly prevails when people of this district, who have not been biesseti witb the best of crops or prices this year. are willîug to share with those who have no- tbiug. The car will be loadeti at Newcastle ou October l6tb andi at Bowmanviile the followiug day, anti il is to be hopeci that churches auci indîviduals will do ail lu their power to see the car geuerously filet for its trip 10 the sîricken west. Au overabundance of dlonations w'iii not be wasbed, but if needs bc an ex- tra car may be shippeti. Last year the district di its part for tbhe west andt his year we arc hopeful that il wil again filîl bbc beacb. The West apprec- lates Otarios help anci when better conditious pre- vaîl will show their appreciation in a tangible xay by the purchase of Ontario manufactureti products. If You Have an Idea Pass It On Discussions arounci the towu about maltera of pub- lic coucern are ofteu featureti by worthwbile ideas, anti if put into effect the town might benefit sub- sbantially. Iu homes, in clubs, sud ou bbc street, many discuss bbc subject of uuemploymcnt anci the solvlng of this great problem. Suggestions are made that would be of grcab value to tbc town, but few cf themr ever reacb the' Town Council or otbt'r bodies which coulci pub therm lubo cfeet.

Thene la no doubt many citizens have ideas worbh passiug ou, ideas that wil aid the council in the work tbey are trying 10 sc- complish. The best methoci for pasaiug these ideas on is througb the cohumuis of The Statesman, whene more people will see andi resci them. than lu any other way. These suggestions sboulci come before tbc pub- lic wbere their meriL- or demeits migbt be fully discîmaseci.

Prosperity Rests With Mankind Amongat the company of recent distinguisheci vis- itors in Canada studying Imperial and domestic is- sues, none made a deeper impression than that noted Scotsman, the Rt. Hon. Lord Macmillan. Before a thousand Empire and Canadian Club members, the chairman of the Royal Commission on Banking in Canada declareci that theonly thing hie had to say about banking at the moment was that far too much importance was being attached to merely material things. In fact the taîl Scot, facing a thousand re- presentatives of the buisiness. intellectual. social and industrial lîfe of the nation. preacheci a sermon which. for high spiritual tone and sound common sense could not be surpassed by any preacher even of the land o' cakes and sermons. Complementary to the subjeet of banking, Lord Macmillan said, was a subject which inight be called "The Commerce of Ideas": -While matters concerneci with banking and economies are of primary concern, they are not the xhole of life. I attach even more importance to that f orm 0of commerce which deals witb the things of the minci, a commerce in which there is fiee trade the world over sud against which no cumbersome restrictions appiy. I think we have gone astray lu our values somnewhat. It is not good for any man to be entirely preoccupied witb the thinga of this world. l lant even good for him in a business sense. Il has always been miy experience that the bigger a mnan was, the simpler was bis outlook on if e. Far t00 much importance is attacheci to merely material things. After ail. interest and happiuess in life are the things we really care for. Everything else is merely a means to that end. Without money and without price these things are the most priceles.s 0f ail possessions."'"Our world difficulties today are not those of famine, earthquake or pestilence. f re- queutly spoken of as sets of God-they are man- made sud we ought to take the blame for them on ourselves because they are the f aults of ouir own in- competence. extravagance and inability to manage our owu affairs properly," Lord Macmillan said. "Our difficulties are f rom within, not f rom witb- out, and in 1ha1 very fact lies the hopefulness of oui problems, because the cure lies in our owu bands." Lord Macmillan added. 'By the substitution of wise policies for f oolish, by the use of thought out, provident sebemes. we should be able to bring back prosperity in place of this strange menace of depression which is upon us. We need to brace ourselves as nations, the samne as in- dividuals do. and we need to change much of our outlook on life. The solutions of our problems are to be founci, I think, in a return to simple faith, simple bonesty sud simple credit. Surely man, aideti andi guided by Divine Providence, can devise solu- tions to meet sîl our problemis." Take Ail But Give Nothing in Return In a western Ontario towu a little war is being waged and the contestants are the local newspaper and the Faîl Fair Board. The directors of the f air sent the printing out 0f towu this year because a new man in a neigbboring town. starting up in the newspaper game, offered them a lower price, and they were foolish enough to accept it. The f air was helti as usual, but not one word appeared in the newspaper about it, andi if theres one thing a f air cannol do without it, is publicity. The wi.ar is still on but we'll guarantee that the paper will win out, because it is right andi certainly is entitieci to some consideration for the part il pîsys in public life. Fair Boards t00 often forget that the newspaper gives many dollars worlb 0f publicity to fairs each year without any return. Not only is this true Of fair boards but it is true of churcheýs, clubs and fra- ternal organizations. They expect anti receive pub- licity in the home town paper for their gatherings, andi where no charge is made a f ree notice is given. Afler their meetings they senti in their stories and they are published purely for the benefit of the church or club members. Then too often, when a littie printing is needeti, they forget ahl about the sel-vice their local paper has rendereci them sud tbey send the printing elsewhere. At a convention in Toronto last June the subject of churcb notices anti society announcements was discusseci anti The Statesman found itself alnsost alone in that il did not charge for weekly cburch notices. neither was any charge made where the or- ganization was not out te make mouey. We have no desire 10 change Ibis policy, but it tioes seem that we have no right to continue giving this valuable service for nothing when the people wbo benefit f romn the publicity do not reciprocate wbeu they have the opportunity. Completes 75 Years Public Service With its last issue, The Simcoe Reformer. one of Outaiio's outstantiing weekly newspapers, anti for- mer wiuner of the Mason Trophy for the best weekly uewspaper in Canada, marked the completion of ils 75th year of public service to Norfol1k County. The Statesman boasts just four years more service to this community. The Reformer was founded lu 1858 by Dr. William H. Oliver. anti was first known as the Erie News. From 1881 to 1922 Hal B. Donly, con- sîdereci an outstsnding, man in the weekly newspaper 500 entries and more than 70 entries in one claus alone. This is a movement which coulci weil be fol- lowed in other places sud Bowmauville is to be con- gratulateci on having starteci somethng.-Tbe Can- adian Horticulturist. UPWARD TREND NOW UNDER WAY Hon. E. N. Rhodes and Prominent Bankers Endorse Bennett's Figures The Prime Ministen's confident sud encouraging statement minro- duciug the new Dominion Loan bas createci a very positive sud fav- ourable reaction throughout the Country. Ils clear-cut expression of bis conviction that recovery is under way, together with bbc evi- dence he citeti, have stimulateci a growing seuse of oplimism un busi- ness circles wbich la reflectec inl the subscriptious te the New Lean. There bas aise been widespread en- dorsemeut of bis view that, al- though the roati may be long andi the progress slow, the events of the past six months appear 10 demon- strate witb incressiug clarity that the tiownwarti trendi bas come 10 a definite stop anti that the upward trendtisin luprogress. Some examples of the comment f rom a prominent Canatils f ollow. Honourable E. N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance: "As Canadiaus we muat ahl share in the sense of encourage- ment that the Prime Minister bas luspireti by bis atatement regarding tbe improvement in business con- ditions througbout this country. Spirit of Confidence Sic Thomas White. Vice-Pres- ideut Canadian Bank 0f Conerce: I f ully coucur wîth the statement of the Prime Minister as t0 the up- turn which bas taken place prog- ressively in Canadian business dur- iug the past few montbs. Iu ai- moat every branch of the Countrys economie life there bas been mani- fest a slow but steady ativauce f rom tbc low point of last April.' Professer Gilbert Jackson, osf the University of Toronto anti Econo-, miat of the Bank of Nova Scotia: ',The very temperate statement made by the Prime Minister with refereuce te recent improvements in Canada is f ully validateti by the f act. Not only have the physical volume of business sud production increaseeti since February by thirty- four per cent, but au even more en- couraging point is that the prices of basic commodities bave risen ap- proximstely lu bbe same ratio. This has been foilowed by marketi in- crease in manufactuîîng activity. Improvement is Definite M. W. Wilson, Vice-Pnsident sud General Manager of The Royal Bank of Canada: "The Prime Min- ister bas quobeci statisties 10 show that there are definite sigus of trade recovery in Canada, but, lu my opinion, these statistics do not fully reflect the improvement whicb bas occurreti. Wbile there are still a number of cloucis ou the business horizon, notably the 10w price of wbeat andi the partial crop failure, business tbroughout Canada bas shown satiefinite sud, lu a nuunber of industries, s markedi improve- ment, anti my confidence lu a con- tinueci upwarti trendi is strengtb- eneti by the backgroundi cf what .,eems 10 be a definite world-witie recoveiy. - 11 C.

The Solution The solution of the probiema was the fiudiug of a new social philoso- phy, lu wbicb there were no under- dogs, anti iu wbicb there were no top dogs.

Totiay. the besb people in Canada are in bbe movement. The bhiukers bbe progressive people have given their policy thougbb sud in spite of Bennett anti Liberal ballyhoo against the Federabion, lb was gain- ing grounti every day. The C.C.F. was different because it diti not rely ou the moueyet inl- terests te supply ils campaigu f unds. It hati no money, ant i t dici nob waut it. It wanted te be free te work out a solubion for Canada sud not bled banci anti foot to the fi- nanciai barons, wbo in the past have suppieci bbc party funds for Liberals anti Conservatives sud have been ruleti by them. Despite wbat uewspapera anti op- posing poliicians say, the Federa- ien haci notbing to do, nor receiveti any belp f rom Moscow sud its pol- icy was nothing like the Russian ex- change by violence. The C.C.F. bas studiedthbb matter aud ab ils convention lu Regiua bas drawn up a 14 point manifesto, planning a new soclalizeti order. T- day it is bbe survivai of tbbc silkeb, it but wc wanb the survival of ail. The f irsb poinb was bbc planning j of this new order. planninig waYs and means of giving everyona hi neecis. but in a business likemn ner andi without waste of public Lmoney: The second point dealt wvith the fsocialization of finance iu which a national bank would be set u11),pri- vate bank accounts would not be toucheci but the governiment woulcl control credit. The third point provideci for- soc- ial ownership, by Dominion, Provin- cial and Municipal bodies. The 1ideals of the late Sir Adam Beck wveie embodiecl in the C.C.F. plans. Fourth, caime socialization of in- dustry. ;vhen that industry pro ideci for the necessities thaIt al] require. It did not: however interfere with the righýt to own priyate property. It believed that the rivers, the g-old and the forest wealth of the country belonged to the people and shoulci not be exploited by a few f or their 'profit. The agriculturist would benef it by security of tenure on his farm. andi the reci flag of the bailiff would not f orever hang over their heacis. Fifth point in the manifesto desît with external tracle, and the speak-1 er pointed out that if it was advan- tageous they woud trade with Rus-1 sia, and it would be only a mad mail who would try to stop them. The sixth point w as a labor code ensuring the worker a fair uwage, with a maximum income and lois- ure. A minimum wage would bc set on a basis of the national wealth and the worker w-ould flot just. slecp, eat and work, but wou id work, est. sleep andi live. In the seventh point. pr'ovision is made for national health,un - ployment andi sickness inrac and provision for old age. A max- imum wage would be set and ail who earned over that amount would be heavily taxed. The eighth section provided f or socialization of health, with state medicine, while the ninth point cal- led for the abolition of the Canad- ian Senate, freedom 0of religion and speech, and changes in the B.N.A. to make unemployment a dominion problem. The tenth portion of the inani- festo desît with world peace andi disarmament, the chief plauk being the taking of the manufacture of munitions out of private hands.j Point number would deal with taxation. and as it is a fact that 10 per cent of the people own 90 per c'ent of the wealth. these ten per cent would pay 20 per cent 0f the taxý,s. Inheritance tax would also deprive those of spoiling tives by b-eing born toc, rich. Section twelve would abolish the section 98 of the Criminal Code and would amend the Immigration Act with regard to deportation. In the thirteenth. point of the manifesto, the subjeet of crime and social jus- tice would come to light, and crim- mnals would be treated as diseaseci people, and psychiatrists would be in charge of the prisons. The fourteenth and final point was the start of an emergency pro- gram that would give thema direct responsibiity as soon as they were elected for the unemployment situa- tion. Suitable work or adequate maintenance would be provided, and the party would commence on a campaign of house building. bring- ing nearly sîl lines of manufacture into play. Miss Cotton was enthusiastically applaudeci as she completed her ad- 1, dress. Af ter the meeting. several local people voiced their intentions of forming a C.C.P. Club in this dis- trict. Bringing the t.otal of men who have served 20 years with the Goodi- year in Bowmanville, to twenty, Monroe A. Neal is the lateat to reach this record. Mr. A. M.
