The tif le is "Make This Your Canada." The Editor of The Canadian Statesman bought a copy from a CCF representative. The authors are Professor Frank Scoftt, chair- man of the national CCF Party, and Mr. David Lewis, secre- fary ef the CCF. This book is doubly aufhenfic as a stafe- ment of CCF policy-wriffen by the chairman and the secretary of the Party, and bearing a forewond which gives if the blessing of Mr. M. J. Coldwell, leader of the Parfy. Thaf the CCF is definitely Socialist is made clear by Mr. Coldwell's foreword in which, unable te find beffer words of his own, he commends the book fo aIl readers in the words of the laf e J. S. Woodsworth-words which Mr. Coldwell really ought f0 draw f0 the attention of Cardinal Villeneuve: "Every Socialisf shou]d have a reason for the faifh that is in him." Having reviewed the two previeus books in which Pro- fessor Scott was a leading co-authon, the e.uitor of The States- man rsow proposes f0 review this laf est CCF document in a senies of short articles, faking info, account also the stafements arising from, and the speeches surrounding the recent Regina conference of the CCF. Whîle on the subject of the Western conference and the speeches thaf followed if, the editor rises f0 remark generally upon lack of sporfsmanship in politics. Canadians like f0 fake their polifics wifh a sense of fair play. But the CCF, while reserving f0 itself an abundant right f0 "dish if ouf," shows a singularly unsporfsmanlike inabilify f0 "fake if." One of the rnosf astonishing instances of this is in the recent discussion conicerning the insurance business. Mr. Coldwell and Mr. Shaw, then Research Director of the Party, and Mr. Lewis, , co-author of the book which we are about f0 review, recently launched an atfack upon the insurance busi- ness in Canada. When fhe insurance business refont ed, ifs spokesmen wene accused of inferfering in polifics. For a polifical parfy fo f ake the position thaf if can wanton- ly affack a privaf e interesf, but that the pnivaf e interesf must nof neply-and if if does if is playing polit ics-is about as braze1 a piece of effnonfery as this country bas ever met in ifs polifical affairs. What is the purpose of this new and apparenfly hasfily nushedl-out book, "Make This Youn Canada"? The editor's opinion, for whafever if may be worfh, is that ifs airrns and purposes are f0 divent attention from the real war record of the CCF Party; to seek f0 break down the shrewd undersfanding of Canadian farmens thaf the CCF policy aims af the ulfimate socializafion of the land; f0 soffen the obvious uneasiness of insurance policyholders and bank deposifors; f0 prove thaf socialism is not what if is; f0 induce people f0 believe thaf socialism will not do f0 the pe. pie what if will do; f0 piead that socializafion is not socializafion and that the provinces which are f0 have their powers taken away, will not neally be so despoiled. We have sfafed above what the edifon conceives f0 be the purposes and aims of the book. We shahl proceed in succeeding articles f0, examine those aims and purposes in defail. Mean- time, however, just let us say this: That on taking up the book and atfempfing f0 read if in nîl its profound absurdifies and absurd profundities, this editor was fempfed at firsfte offer a prize te anybody wbo could read if without going te sleep over if. However, we found a couple of good laughs in if wbich migbt serve fo, keep people awake, and a spirit of caution led us not to offen the pnize. The first laugh came at page 51 whene if is argued that the sharebolders of the C.P.R. do nof own the properfy of the C.P.R. Profe.Esor Scott and Mn. Lewis say: "If fhey doubt this, let fhem try to gef a free ride on a C.P.R. train or a free bed in the Royal York Hotel." Whaf blifhering nonsense! From if we may pre- sume thaf if the CCF ever fakes power, we shail have free rides on the C.P.R. and on the C.N.R., free beds in the Royal York Hofel and ail other C.P.R. and C.N.R. hotels, including the ChatEau Laurier, free oil from the oul wells of Alberta, free gold from the gold mines of Ont ario and Quebec, free food fnom the nafioralized fanms and we shall ail have hit the jackpof. The other laugh is af page 23 where the wicked shoe manu- facturens are sbown f0 be wilîng f0 depnive littfle girls of shoes and furn their shoe factories int o plants for manuf acfuring more profifably littfle pins and costume jewellery f0 be sold at 15e stores. The idea that shoes are manufactured pnimanily for a market and only secondarily for a profit, does not seem f0o have occurred in the slightesf f0 these people. Tbey are so blinded by prejudice thaf fhey cannot or will nef see thaf business is simply the rendering of a service wbicb a communify needs and is willing fo pay for, ai. pnices that will yield a living, nef only te the workers, but f0, those who invest their money. Before the subject slips tee far behind, we shaîl deal in nexf week's Canadian Stafesman wif h the CCF and the war.
