What The C.C.F. Plans To Do With Canada Corne Clean With T'he Farnurs ARTICLE NO. 5 This is the fifth of a series of articles by the edîtor of The Canadian Statesman. after a study cf the two basic items of C.C.F.-socialist literature publîshed in Canada. Thiese are '-Social Planning for Canada' anîd 'Democracy Needs Social- ismX *.bith cf -which are publishied under the aegis of the research councit of the League for Social Reconstruction. This research counicil consists of seven men. mosi cf them universjty professoîs whose npmes are %'ell known. The one most potiti- cally proniinent among fhem is. cf course, Professer Frank Scotcf McGill University, w-ho is the National Chairinan cf the CCF. We pointed out that the C.C.F., far frem seeking te escape the charge cf socialism. lias insisfed through its National Secretary. Dav<id Lew-is. in a letter te the Ottawa Journal. thaf the C.CF. reatly is socialistic and se declares in ifs national constitution. In prevîcus articles w;e ha'<e dealt with the aims cf the C.C.F.-socialisfs in regard teajiationalization cf industry, busi- naess, external trade. communications, finance ana investment. In aah cf these things the C.CF.-socialist brain trasters and political leaders have always been mach more explicif than tbey have ini regard te their agricultural policy. It %vill be remembered that shortly after the organizatien o f the C.C.F.. in 1933. and the issuance cf lifs first manifesto- ollowed by a second manifeste in 1934 in Winnipeg-a great policy did or did net meai' socialization cf the land and nationalizafion cf agriculture. Jn successive efforts and con- troversies the C.C.F. leaders sought to allay the doubts cf the farmers and ta placate the obviosus intagonisin that seemed to be manifested almost natienally against any doctrine that pro- 'ided inferentiallv or direcflv 1cr socialization cf land. The C.CF-socialists alWays have been ambigucus inu their declarations and stafements and manifestes iin this regard. Persenally the editer bas doubts that any '<ast number cf practical politicians in the C.C.F. Party believe natienalizafion cf land te be practicable. but their principles bave been laid down for thent in the part5' liteî-aîure. and whetber tbey believe if could be donc or net, there seems te be tittie doubt that the ultimate aim-probably for the miore remete future-is really thc socialization cf land. 0f course their manifestes in the past have adx-ocafed "socialization of naturat resources' and if 'farm land is net a natural resource and a means cf production. it is pretty bard te sec jusf wbat oiller categery îî mnight faîl into. Reading carefully the bocks te wbich we have addressed ourselves as illuminating what is really socialistic policy for Canada, w-c find it extremelu- difficulfto reach any conclusion otner than thaf the leaders and infellectuals inu the C.C.F. meve- ment actually hope for and plan thaf at some future time, ne matter how far in the future, agriculture shaîl be nationalized. Our inabilits- te reacb any other conclusion finds ifs basis very lai gely indeed in the seemingix' wilful, deliberate ambiguif y in whicb the C.C.F. surrounds lils pclicy in this regard. For instance. we find ini 'Social Planning for Canada" this statement: 'With centrol cf finance. cf transport, and cf power, tbe State holds the reins cf eccnomic autbority. Owner- sbip cf the ccuntry's natural resources xvould transfer yet utoother sfrategic field te ifs charge. Farming land bas, cf course. mostly been alienated. There is ne suggestion cf wbolesale expropriation cf present farmers, but ne more land would be handed ever te private cwners in t he future." Note that tbey do net inteed te disturb tbe ewnersbip cf land by- -PRESENT" farmers-but that ne MORE land is te find ifs way inte tbe hands cf private ewners in tbe future. Tbis stafement appears te dovefail thoreughly into a furfher statement contained in the bock "Democracy Needs Sccialism" wherein at page 52 we read in the course cf a long description cf 'the basic proposal cf a socialist programme", the fcllowing: "AGRICULTURE, refait trade, industries wbich are really competitive and small business, will prcbably con- tinue for some time te be privately owned, altbcugh their catput and ifs distribution ,vill be related te the national plan." "FOR SOME TIME"! !! That implies, cf course, "But nef for keeps". Now we wanfte be, perfectly fair te the C.C.F. in this direction as in aIl otbers. Therefore we quete again from the book "Social Planning for Canada" at page 424, wbere the authers end a cbapter on agriculture witb these words: 'To avoid misunderstanding, we wisb te empbasize again that the public cwnersbip cf the agencies cf distri- bution which we p3ropose dees net interfere in any way witb faul wnership cf the land by the farmer. We de net at all î'ecommend the nafionalizafien cf land NOIV held by indi- vidual owners.' ~-LAND NOW HELD- - '<ou notice. Wbat cf the future? Whaf is the aim? Wbat is the pur- pose un regard te farmîng? If seems an inevitable conclusion tbat the C.C.F.-socialist intellectuals and political leaders bave lef: themselves dcliberately an open end in regard te agri- j cufure, largely by reason cf the dîsturbance kicked up by tbeir earlier indiscreet mnanifestes on the subjecf. But wbat seems higbly significant te The Caiuadian Statesman is thaf at ne stage bave the,. issued a crystal-clear declai-ation thaftbchy doc i intend in' any circumstanceste nationalize the land. If thaf is wbat they bcnesthy rmean then wby on earth do tbey net come rignt eut and sa,. se'! Truc, it would mean repudiafing the doctrine laid down for tbem by Professer Frank Scot t. cneecf the sev-en co-authors cf "Social Planning for Canada"-just cne cf the seven. but he is the man who foday is National Chairman cf the C.C.F. Canadians long ha-ie been calling for honesfy in polifics. Is if not possible te get some do ~nright, forfbrigbf, honesf statement on at leaut fbis one su bjecf from the party wbicb professes te be sa new. sao dean. se idealistic, se capable cf planning a better future-the C.C.F.? And wbile we fhink about if we must bear in mind that wbef ber they fake over farms or net tbey are gcing te govere the infernal and external trade cf the country by a brace cf commissions. Infernal trade invelves tbe buying and selling cf products from the farmer. External trade-impcrts and experts wbicb are definitely te be naticnalized-inevifably involve the gevernment marketing cf the farmers' products. Se that wbefber you natienalize the land or nef yeu regiment the farmers anyway in common witb the rest cf the people wbose business is socialized. It struck tbe editor that car readers migbf wender bow this ceuld be donc since we bave a series cf nine provinces, eacb proud cf its own autenemy "over prcperty and civil rigbts" within the constitution. The C.C.F.-socialists bave an easy answer for that. Tbey plan simply te take tbe power cut of tbe bands cf the provinces and place if finaliy and definitely un the bands cf tbe Dominion, that is ta make tbe Dominion If anybody tbinks fluat pr-ovinucial rikbfs-and perbaps the province£ fbemnseives-wou]d nef be obliteraîed let bim ask binaseif this question: If industry anîd finance and investment are nafioîua]ized, external business natîonalized, anud infernal trade regimented under an infernal tiade commission, whuat riglufs bave the provinces left and wîao is f0 pay fbem the taxes f0 maintain provincial services or f0 pay inferest on provincial obligations? Tbe editor poses this question for Professor Scott and Mr. Cohdwell and their coborts te answer if tbey can. 5lUCD2U individual shareholders own Canada' s Chartered Banks. The average holding is 28 shares. Most of these sh areliolders are Canadians. The wide distribution of bank ownership is in- dicated bv the fact that 36,574 individuals, living in ail parts of Canada, hold shares in the Chartered Banks of Canada. 0f the remaining shareholders, 8,987 live elsewhere in the British Empire. Some further facts about Canada's Banks: There are 4,369,740 savings deposit accounts in the Char- tered Baniks of Canada, aver- aging $391 each. Safeguarding the funds of depositors is a primary function of commercial banking. Baniks keep themselves in such a position that anybody going to the bank to withdraw lis savings can get his money. Baniks, like any other business, exist because they provide ser- vice which a cornmunity needs and is willing to pay for at a rate which will yield a reason- able return. Every dary, bank loans are helping Canadians in acl wallcs of ii. and in ail parts of Canada ta profit from their individual enterprise and industry.
