A one-day, one-tneafment cure of impefigo, unpleasanf, confag- ious and sonmefimes dangerous skin disease, has been achieved by a new whife-mud suifa drug (sulfafhiazole> treatment, Dr. T. N. Harris, of the University of ý lennIsylvaIIia, announces. Voice of The People P.O. Box 801, To The Editor: Sunshine and dirt don't get on. Rats like the - dark. You don't sce them basking in the sun. Filth is cleansed by sunshine and germs die in it. The samne is true of social filth. Bing if ouf into the lighf and it will either dlean up or die. There is one thing in particular of whîch this is frue; it is the liquor traffic. People have drunk spirituous liquors, or some kind, from time immemonial and efforts af pro- hibition here and in the U.S.A. have demonstrated that efforts to suppress the sale of alcoholic bey- enages mereiy drives the traffic underground and breeds bootleg- gens. Young people, being young people, are tempted by the for- bidden, and there can be no ex- aggeration of the evil of this course. In the past aIl efforts have been to block sale of liquor. One course has not been tried. If is to bring the whole traffic into the open light of public view and let public opinion deal out its own judgment. It could be donc s0 sirnply. Insfead of closing bey- erage moims, make them open to the street; prohibit the sale of any kind of liquor out of sight. Insist that ail beverage rooms and liquor stores have unscreened windows from floor to ceiiing so thaf evenyone can sec who is in them and what goes 0f in thern. And make this go for beverage moins for both men and womcn. Don't drive drinking into the dank whene its foulest aspects can grow in secret, but bing it into the open whene the sunshine can get at if. I. D. WILLIS. To The Edifor: S. H. Knowles, now M.P. for Winnipeg North Centre, made this statoment in his maiden speech in the House a few days ago: "Today the wonkers and farm- ers produce the nafion's wealf h but get only a meagre portion of if. There is no justice under such a sysfem."l The stafement is inaccurate and untrue. The proportion of the national incomo going ta labour ranges befween 61 and 65 per cent-this can hardly be doscribed as meagre. The share of the farmer has vanied in recent years fnom 14.7 per cent to 5 per cent. The extreme Iow was reached by a combinafion of smail crops and low pnices. Labour, so-callod, and farmers are nof, *however, the only work- ers. There arc a groat many ofh- ers who might, in any reasonable calculation, be numbered among those who work. Whaf about fn.e fisherman, the frapper, the doc- for, the lawyers or other profes- sional classes? Then there are those who, whilc working just as hard, and probably af longer hours, are osscntially workers thbugh they are generalîy classed as "pivate enterpnises". I refer f0 the owners of small business establishments where their labour, nof their invested capital, is fhe main source of their income. The real share going f0 labour will vary slighfly from time to firne but on any fair estimate of what consfitutes a worker it is safo f0 say that from 80 to 85 per cent of the national incorne goe- to labour. Surely this cannot oac called a "meagre portion". The other factor which needs considerafion and neyer receives if is that the percentage cannot 1 be increascd by raising the rate 0f wages. The percentage has been fairly constant over a gen- eration-even over a century. The standard of living of labour in- creases only with the increase of the national income or, f0 pt i another way, wif h increasedpro- duction. If does not risc, may, 'ln fact, faîl, from an increase of money wages which 0f ly f00 often must lead f0 a decrease of total wage paymenfs. R. J. DEACHMAN 10 Duncannon Apfs., Ottawa, Feb. 16, 1943. Bowmanvilie, In- Mu-Feb. 17, 1943. JTo The Edifor of The Canadian Statesman: In your Fcb. 4fh issue the letter from "Honon", in reply f0 mine 0f an carlier date gave some stant- ling figures whîch might prove in- feresting f0 those who pay those Iamounts for beer. The profits on that beer sold supplies luxury and comforf f0 the few who manufacture if whereas f0 many who pay for if, if mighf moan a serious lack of comfont. If is a mystery f0 me why so many consumers of beer find the price 0f bread and buffer and miîk and meaf f00 high f0i use sufficient when producers of these articles wcre nof making a profit as was made on beer. Reforring f0 fthc letton in Fob. 4fh issue, by Dr. Blair, in regard f0 traces of poison being found in fhe kidneys of mon in their prime, from the cffects of the use 0f beer manufactured from other than wholesornc grains, we find in The Globe and Mail a letton from a beer manufacturer cîaiming thaf their plants are subject f0 inspec- tion and that beer is made of jusf thaf, wholesome grains, of course, af that beer confains alcohol and the point is, what causes this poison in the kidneys? In regard f0 advice f0 me and other mothers fnom "Honon", may I be Pardoned for being pensonai? During the pasfton years we have enjoyed the company of numbers of young people in our home. These young people represent, farm labourons, including those frorn Boys' Homes of Engiand, our own farm boys and girls, those fnom factories, stores, offices, high schoois, teachens, students and grads of four cologes and the army and air force, so I know first hand whaf youn~ people face and whaf they ne2d but our beer brewers are always more than r Morley Callaghan 'l Internationaily known novelist sand story writer who wiil take a prominent role in the new CBC series devoted to the inquiry into the post-war world. He will be 1heard during the opening broad- fcast Sunday, February 28, at 5.03 p.m., E.D.T., 6.03 p.m., A.D.T. ready for a moment of weakness in the best of them. I have learned a great deal from these young people and gained more than I have given. There have been many discussions on many subi ects (plenty on the al- coholic drinks) and there has been singing and dancing, laugh- ter and music, skating and sieigh- ing and aIl without the need of or use of beer or any other form of alcohol. Cigarettes have neyer been served for asked for and I >have neyer seen a woman or girl smoke in this house and f ew of the boys have. Your advice is >right "Honor" but give us more. Before ciosing this letter may I refer again to the letter of the brewer in The Globe and Mail. He mentions the fact that England is a beer dninking nation but that they are tough enough to take what they have had to. We also think of the dole of England and we wonder what it might have been with less beer. I recali after the last war admiring a young M.O. after four years in France, returning as he lef t, free of the expensive habits of smoking and drinking. He was not 50 husky but before the age of thirty years after standing high in post graduate ýsurgery and practising three years stood in a 1500-bcd hospital as near the fir- ing line in France as it was pos- sible to be, operating from 8 ar. until 10 p.m., would this require toughness? This man found young women of his home city had learned in the meantirne to drink more than tea and coffee. Need- less f0 say, he married a daughter of the land who knows very weii how to enjoy the good fruits of the land but has no desire for either smokes or drinks. Yours very truly, MRS. L. C. SNOWDEN A NEWSPAPER'S RIGHTS Acting on the assumption that since it is an enterprise of a semi- public nature, a newspaper shouid publîsh everything which is given it, some people try to enforce this conclusion. Obviousiy, it is impossible for us to concur with such poiicy. Surely those responsible for pub- lication of a paper have some rights in controlling what goes into its news and advertising col- umns. It seems that most publishers are wiiling to co-operate as much as possible with individuals and institution%, but this does flot mean that they have to submît to the will and pressure of these pen- sons and groups. Why should the newspaper bus- iness be different from that of any merchant on the main street? The latter is a free man to carry on his business as he pleases, or was antil the Wartime Prîces and I'rade Board came aiong with its mass of regulations. Consîderable hesitancy would be shown about dictating to the butcher or baker or even the candiestick maker about how he should conduct his own business. This vanishes when it comes to dealings with newspapers. Most wcekiy publishers who have served their communities at littie profit f0 themselves have looked upon their papers as priv- ate pnoperty and have worked hard to keep them in existence. T~he compensation thcy receive is argeiy in satisfaction at having helped the communities and worthwhiie causes in them. They are desirous of continuing to exert their rights in an era vhen dictatonships of one kind and another secmn anxious to im- pose their wilis on papers and peoples alike. i il n L b u b- h n e e s ci s r r Toronto. people walking into you.

Received a very pleasant sur- prise last week on opening a let- ter and discovenîng it was from Sgt. Irene Casbourn. I knew she was in England, but didn't know just where. She didn't know where we were stationed until she received a copy of The Statesmnan and found my address. Like ail the rest of us, she reports that she is getting used to life over here. I rather iike it myseif and expect to get some interesting pictures of the quaint villages and English countryside. Just the other day I was shown a historic site where they dlaim Caesar had a military camp somewhere around the time when the Romans ruled the island. There was also a village site dat- ing back around the same period. We have quite a comicai time when first encountening English money.
