Bacon Hoga and Western Feedi n 's Sa far as we can determine and we read the papers daily and listen,'attentively, to government broadcasts for any news, no moatter liow meagre or speciaus, that may be he1pful or hopeful ta farmers, there lias been not one word save for the brie£ reference by the Prime Minister of Canada, Mr. Mac- kenzie King, to what the goverment lias doue, wlien lie anuounced his New Economie Policy, or, in other wards,1 the "prices and ceiing' Order-in-Couneil. He said that tlie government would pay ail the freiglit on feed grain shlipped froin the West ta the East ta allay temporary shortage of feed stocks. But nothing was said about the price ta be fixed or agreed upan. This foilowed closely upon the announce- ment of Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, t hat the goverument would pay one third 6f ail freiglit charges on feed grain from the West. The ante was raised within a montli by 66 and 213 per cent. But even paying the fuil f reiglit there ie littie hope for increased production iu tlie east. Latest information is that No. 3 western wheat for feed, laid- down locally, wiil cost 99e per bushel, less ton lots, and other grains aceardingly. That is expensive feed for hogs even at present prices, as weli as cattle or poultry. Tlie thing is that appar- ently the government lias ignored advice of fariner organizations and lias made noa at- tempt ta recondile prices already tentatively agreed upon as between West and East. The resuit is already apparent. Feeds and cancentrates at reasonable' casts simply canuot be had and added ta the mast drastie farin labor shortage in a century, farmers are going out of production of bacon hogs. According ta prices quoted in a western paper of Otober 16, No. 3 Nartliern at the elevator 'was 481/2e. Down liere in Ontario, freiglit free, it lu 90c.

The tweive canstitutiug the party were away six weeks, duriug vhicli time, as guests of the British Council, they were hither and thither and shown the "innards" and told "i1nside" stance. 0f whot they saw and heard Mr. Templin will cover ln a series of articles that will sliortly be provided the weekly newspapers lucludiug this paper. To read- ens of The Statesman, lie will not be alto- gether new, inasmucli as a series of lis articles on the air fields cf Ontario appear- ed lu these pages, but a few mouthe ago, when they were widely read aud gave rise ta mucli interest lu this brandi of the na- tion 's services. M:r. Templin lias a. fine faculty of prcsentixag lis stories and we eau give the assurance that his furtlier contri- butions wil.be equally in keeping with those that have already been contnibuted. _V Let's Face The Facts The fact le that we have been into war mast about a year sud four months. It reaily began wlien the Maginot Line was outfauk- cd. From that moment, The Statesman lias taken a strong sud realistie uine, both in uews and editonial columus, witb a view of stimulating the wlàole community inta vivid realism. We have maintaincd froin the first that it would be a long sud bloody war. We have prodded a reluctant goverument. We have seen some of aur proposais adopted, mudli later by the goverumeut. We have of- feuded political partizans but we have stuck ta factesud truth sud we have attnacted the diepleasure of pessimistesud gloometers, bath miltany sud civil. Sevenal weeks ago we publisled au edi- tonial "Silow lu Moscow" -and a few local arm chair citice have been gloaming about it. They did uot like aur rcalism. They dlaim we should not say how qickly and decisively wc have liad to aloubock every time we have met the Hune lu tues war. But wc deal with facte. Our elaim le that tark truth le the beet antidote for complacency. Pessimiste are nated for tolking instead of doiug. These are thc types that cluttered up the roads o! France as the Hun nolled up sud rolled over thein. The Stateeman wil continue its palicyof giving foots. We note with satisfaction that o higli authority, P. J. Philip of the New York Times, spoke ta the Empire Club of Toronto, necently lu these terms: "We have dheercd ourselves that the Rus- siaus were inflicting terrible lasses on the Hune; that Hun tanks lie in twisted ruin, etc. 1 late that kiud of nonsense. Why con we not be frauk and truthful 1 0f course there wene lasses, but the Germons won. Prom their point of view their losses werc worth while. They won. We lost bath men sud material lu Norway, Beliuin, Greece, Crete, Libya, and had nothiug or next ta uathang ta show for it. We are building sud counting aur tanks sud planes sud flatter- lug ourselves. Thc Hun le usiug lis aud building ase many as we are while lie moves on to victories. Let us stop talking sud thinkiug wishfully sud get it into our heade that we have to meet an the battlefield an cncmy who lias couquered fourteen coun- tries." This remarkablc paraphrase of a States- man editorial fortifies us against aIl the dis- mal warniugs of the armn-chair political pess- imiste.

The operation of this popular humanitarian institution lias been carried on so smoothly year in and year out that too many citizens are prone to take things for granted without comment or praise.' But we do not wish to be classed witli that thoughtless and unappreciative group, and we feel many citizens are of the same mind. As a civic officiai, a private citizen and a patient we know from first hand knowledge the valuable and efficient service Mrs. Sm.ythe rendered in the important position she so conscientiously occupied for over a quarter of a century.
