Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Canadian Weekly Newspaperse $2.00 a Year, strictiy in advance. THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1942 Control or Inflation One of the greatest speeches ever deliver- ed in- Bowmanville f ouching an issue of great national importance, was presented to the Men's Canadian Club Friday evening by Mr. Victor R. Smith, M.A., Greneral Man- ager of the Confederation Life Association, Toronto. Because of its higli educative values for the rank and file ini warfime, we are pleased to print fthe speech ini its entire- ty. lndecd, with tlie Canadian public gener- ally uninformed and reluctant to study the intricacies of fiscal and regulative measures, it is almosf the duty of the whole press of Canada, to devote space for any lucid ex- planation of what inflation is and why con- trois were instituted. As a lucid exposition, couched in simple terms, Mr. Smith 's speech is a masterpiece. Anyone can understand whaf lie wishes to convey and we suggesf that this issue be preserved and the subjecf matter studied at leisure. Farm Forums, Young People 's So- ciefies and other org-auizations miglit with greaf profit take up discussion and debate of its terms and references and thus become possessed of competent knowledge of a sub- ject ail sliould be familiar with. Studies of this character are of higli value in sustain- ing national morale. The fact secms f0 be thaf wc must go outsîde of official channels for our information and depend upon paf- riotic, private citizens, sncb as Mr. Smith, for real insiglit into nîational problems. Begîinning witli a background of pre-war perspective, when somc 839,000 Canadians were on relief, and fracing our social and economîc evolution in wartime f0 alinosf full emplo.yment, Mr. Smit h explained the varions sfeps our government was compelled to take. Taxation, borrowîng.(, credit expan- sion, increase of war goods, decrease of con- sumer goods, and the increase of income fraught with competîtive crises, all passed under review. Protective measures were not due to government's sagacity but to cease- Iess studies by experts in the intricacies of national finance, who in tnrn, instruce d the Cabinet, whicli, in tnrn, had to act. Thanks of the whole community are due to Mr. Smith for bis fascinating exposition of an important subject so littie understood by the average Canadian. Midlands Move Again Thl1sf Midland Battalion, thaf fine regi- ment recruited xithin fhe Unifed Counties of Northnmberland and Durhiam, whidi we term, affectionately, flic Mad Midlands, lias again been moved, this fime on a long jour- ney wcstw-ard in Canada. For ourselves and for the parents and friends of tliese men we slionld say somefhing so that, years lafer, reference may be made f0 the part fhey were compelled f0 play. No finer fellows were recruif cd in all Canada. From farms, villages and small tow-ns tlicy offered tliem- selves voluntarily for active service any- whcre in the world. For two years they have carried on lioping to get the liard, rigid training that w'ould fit tliem to meet the best the Axis could array against fhcm anytirne, anywhere. But tliey liave becn sadlv disillusioncd. After two years fhey have but meag-re training. 0f flic five men w-ho Ieft The Statesman fo enter tlic armied services, ilirce are in flic 1sf Midlands. On leave fronu fime f0 fime tbey, and oflier members of this unit, have told us of their training and their frustra- tions: of their bitferness anîd rcsentnicnf af and Mr. King. Let us repeaf, no fincu', hardici', huaîlfuul youung chaps ever were ecruîfed in Canada for service anywherc. Ini f leir freafmcnf w-e sec v'ery grave implications. We w'onder if evcmv district in Canada miglut nof exhibit similar experience. Cerfainly, we are per- suaded f bat flic three nuits organized iin this district since Sept. 1939, fhelc1sf Mid- lands, 2nld Midlands (R) anud Veterans Guard (R) have had no traiuiiing whafsoever commeîîsurafc w-tl fodays dire necessities. Publiciv w-e bespeali for flic 1sf Midlands af least 6 monflis of miost intensive, co-ordiuu- afed training before they are called f0 actual confliet. Thue best wishcs of fuis paper and fh liwhole coinnuniityv follow- flese fine boys. -V National Unity Concurrenfly xii be found flot ail, but flic salient feafures of the speech of Dur- ham's member of ftli House, Mardi 17, on Bill No. 13, "increased advance on wheaf." Tw-o fling-s are f0 be coîîmcnded in this speech: firsf, ifs brevity; second, ifs pre- science ini recognizing flic probability of a long w-ar. No speech by privafe members sliould exceed ifs lengf h and most of thcm could be dispensed wifh absolntely. But only among certain members from Quebec eau w-e find more reactionary or inflamma- tory disserfations ini warfime than f haf of Durham 's member. Witli a rising ftide of dis- unify in Qnebec, we have this example of parochial parfisanship seffing eastern farm- ers againsf wesfern farmers. Starki clarify underseores our conclusions affer reading Mr. Richard 's specali: I don 'f care if, in wartime, I splif Canadians witli anothler schism; and by sucli design, 1 impose my personal contempt on flic Canadiauî Feder- af ion of Agriculture, whichb las s0 pains- takingly promoted aiid achieved good un- derstanding befw-een easf cru and western farmers. Read in wholc or iin part, this is flic epitome of fliat speech. There is cerf ainly "nothing to grîn about" w-len flic intimationî is made that our farmers even wiflouf parify prices arc willing fa give everyfhing fliey have toward w-nnung flicw-ar, and '"I believe flicw-est sliould adopt fthe sainie attitude." Could there be a more ealculafed indictmnenf of disloyalty upon a populationi of 3,000,000 people of flie w-est w-ho have confribuf cd billions iu national w-caltli flat have flow-ed wifh inferesf int o ftle moncy and credif monopolies of flic casf? The speaker w-as opposing an advancc of $1 at terminal for wesfern farmers w-ho produce flic xorld's besf liard vheaf. Refercuce f0 a C.N. deficif of $50 millionîs, just w-l a surplus ivas an- uîoumîced is indicativ-e of a desire f0 sax- soiething ratlier fhian becoine familiar w-thi flic econoinies of flic w-hole situation. Inforrned speakers of of ler parties as w-cl as onec or fw-o Liberals, wifh but onue brief reference f0 Durhîam 's member, w-cut alîcad wif ilicedebaf c inimosf rcasoncd anîd effec- tiv-e appeal, but flic ameudment, of course. w-as doomed fo defeaf flic moment if w-as proposed. Onîe of flic peculiai- facets of flic speech under discussion is ifs apparent pre- dication upon the assumption that Ontario farmers will be called upon fo put up, largcly, flic money for wesern farmers in flic matf cm under debate. This sort of delus- ion miglif be expected in amateur municipal finance and if is suprising f0 find sncb sen- timents in tic national sphere. There arc indications, suci as Donald Gordon's re- cent speech, thaf Canxada is on flic verge of drastie change. We agrec thaf if is higli time. -V Roads and Streets Ox-er flic w-ekend attention w-as draw-n fa flic presemîf conditioni of King Sf., iin fow-n and considerable stretches of countfry roads in tfli Towvnship. A motor tour w-as under- taken w'hicli revealed conditions seldom cqualled in our experience. Several patches along Kinîg St., arc lit erally mofor f raps and are dail3- gefting worsc. The condition, of course, is due largely f0 transport trucks from of ler parts f laf go fhundering flirougli towvu wifh scant regard for natives, fa sfrccfs or flic cosf of upkecp. There should be some arranîgement whcreby flic province, which gets flic license rev-enues, should share in upkeep wifhin corpomafe limifs. As if is af flic moment, temporary repairs w-ould save mucli money later on and save tires ini flic meanfime. But if isu 't alfog-efher trucks thaf have scarified anîd eroded nmiles of once fie roads within flic pasf two w-ecks. Spring torr~ents have doue flic damage. WcVsf of IHamptoni crcamcrv 'w-c camîe upon a fax- payer -ho w-as layiuig dow-n a barrage of verbal phosphomus about the apafhy of "onIl" 'Lok flc 1-' le -sad11'se lot; a 'yes" or a "no."The f irsf xiii relicx-e flue Premier from lis pledgc. The latter xii tic lis hands in.any curisis whidi overtakes this country-. It is doubfful if af flic mo- ment Mr. King bimsclf knows what action lic w~ill take if bis bauids arc unfied. Only future ev-ents cau decide fiat question. Total Compulsion M7c have come f0 the point wherc if is mecessary ta say in our opinion flic best w-ay ta prescrx-c dcmocracy is fa adopf ab- solute compulsion over ou' w-lole popula- tion amud ail ifs activifies, aîîd fiat ivithouf un'due dclay. 'Wc liar menx close ta flic actual pow-er of dicfatorship ini particular spheres, say about flic sanie tluing. For in- st ance, Dounald Gardon, elairmaux of flic Wamfime Prices and Trade Board, speaking in Moutreal only flic otier day, warned: "Canadians must be prepamed f0 give up al choices and preferences"l if neccssary and wif hflaf sentiment wc are ii euîire accord. No vaice in Ottawa bas spoken more boldly tian thaf of Donald Gordon. Wc can afford f0 acccpt complete compulsion as flic suresf way of winning this long, liard war, and flien w-heu finisbcd, we can revcrt overniglit, ta a sane and purgeadcmocracy. Probably 90 per cent of flic people of this typical community will agrefliaf wc are leagues awudy from an ail ouf w-ar effort. Lef us look arouud and sec these fhings:- An ex- aspcrafed farining camununify vaiuly scck- ing lîelp fa produce food and fced; young men ini sliltercd positions, shugging indif- fereuif acquiesceuxce "let flic other guy do if . . . tiat's lis affair," flic lazy and con- fenîptuous spurniuig thé gasoline requcsf of govemnmcnf; restaurants boldly flaunting flue sugar confroller with, "'hîlp yourslf" containers; nierchants upping prices over fli ceciling; faximen upping fares 15 per centf and geffing away witb if. And a woman sa3ing, "'I hope flic iar lasf s a long time, 1 neyer made so unucli money ini my life." If is ail so futile and so cxasperating fa fiose w-liascuîsc aur peril fliaf if is no won- dem Mm. Gordon sounds bis w-arning. We ean stanîd compulsion lu iran bauds af Ottawa anîd w-e nccd regianal dictafors in cvcry counmunity sucli as this f0 sec that orders are obcyed by ail. Only thus can we gef an w-ffic hew-ar, achieve an àll-ouf effort and complet c cqualify of sacrifice. -V A Challenge to Advertisers Bruce Barton onîce said, "Bumu dow-n aur factories, and we can rcbuiIld them; but hase flic faifli and favor of flic public and aur capital is sterile, aur plants memly rust." You caru insure againsf fire. You cari in- sure your bis receivable. You can insure fhli ues of your executives. You can insure agaimîsf fhîff. You cari insure tic lives of youm employccs. But yau cauî'f insure agcaiîsf flic loss of buyer-couîfidencc. You c an'f insure against the loss of business friends. You can 't fofally insure againsf flic loss of gaodw-iil. But you cauî do flic next bcsf fiing-you caux continue ta advertise. If you ivant custamers auîd prospects ta buy from you w-heu flic emerg-ency is over, kecp comtacfing them now. Donît leftbem forget you. Keep selling fliem an your com- pauy, your mcthods, your standing in flic field. Maintaiuîing your standing of today xvilcasf you far lcss flian regainung your losf ground lafer w-len you really necd orders. Why Don't They Organize? That is tic question w-e bave been asked several times by citizens, xvho read aur cd- if anal lun hast xveek 's issueami Boxvmauiville 's Greatest Need-a Chamber of Commerce. Our ansîver is tîxat fao many business men, like farmers, have 3-et fa leamux fli real ad- vantages of cooperafian, and flicy arc actu- alhy afraid ta t ry if lest the oflier fellow- benefifs masf. un0f hier ivords fliey lack confidence ii ecdiofler. Riglif uow- mercliauîs are pcrturbed and puzzled about flic new- government regula- f ion of amne delivcry service a day. Yef mer- chants so affect cd have falled ta discuss this problem as a gmoîîp and came ta some uuîder- stanîding whîerc ail will be aunflic same foot- ing and interpret flic new ruling as a unit. Here again is wlierc a Cliamber of Commerce cauhd acf as an lnfermediary. Discussing this subject fie Whifby Times- Gazette makes these comment s: "There is sa much that a live Cliamber of Commerce can do for Whitby foday fiat support of ifs efforts sliauld be forflicoming in large measure fram evcry business and prafessional mar inithficf wn ... The Cham- ber of Commerce lias a greaf task before if lu assisfing firsf and forcmost Canada 's w-ar effort; and giving support ta evemy local organizafiomi doing pafriafie w-ork.

The Cliamber must also take a hand ini solving local business and iu- dustnial problemns now-, af flic same time loaking fa flic day w-heu peace shall retumu and witli if ncw apporfunities, and new- me- spansibilities for service ta flic community." -V Real Spirit of Confidence The spirit of friendship anîd confidence flia,t lias existed befwcen Canadian weekly newspapers and their readers since this na- tion w-as founded must continue.

Thrif t needs fa be encouraged as steadily and persistcntly as good manners or as any other desir- able habit.

FROM A SOLDIERS MAIL BAG1 I've saf on my bunk and wafched The mail as they give if ouf, How when a name that's called Is answered by a shout. Offen the face that is saddened Is brightened f0 a shine For the mail bags have delivered From someone a gladdening line. Sometimes it's from a sweetheart And sometimes from a wif e, Sometimes from a lawyer And sometimes filled with strife; But be fhey bitter or sugared Wriften in hate or love, A letter is always welcomed From a private f0 those above. Sometimes I've fhoughf wifh envy 0f those who have a home While I arn doomed f0 wander In this blamed world alone. P'raps it would be better If I would take a wife To cheer, if jusf by writing, My wasted and wanton 11f e. However the cards are piayed And I cannot change my hand By foolish and childish wishing, From gold by drifting sand, And so as I sit and ponder And wafch whaf- those letters bring Some wifh their song and iaugh- fer And some with their hurt and sting. That fate has nof dealt unkindiy Short changing me on mail But thaf affer ail I'm iucky I don't have f0 weep and wai When my aunt in Alabauxa And my cousin Betty Lou' Tumn their toes up to fhe heav- ens From fthe choiera or fthe f lu. Thaf I'm hand and free from hearfbreak When my girl friend lets me down For I neyer get a letter From the other side of fown And if a man's contented To head in the wind and sali If may flot be easy going But he don't have to answer mail.
