Living (Killed in Action In ItaIY) Unemployment I* Coming The generai impression is growiîig that the war in Europe will bc over ini a matter of months but the general impression con- eerning the effect on employment' across Canada is nat as yet formulated. The main reason is that no goverument plans have been developed intelligentiy ta deal with thse change over from wartime ta peacetime production. The main plans ta continue employment with least delay have been made by industry itscif and in surveys by the Canadian Manufacturers Association, ta- * gether with a very feiv cnlightened coin- munities seriousiy eoncerncd with the mat- ter. Once Hitler falis it may be assuîncd thiat our wartime productioni will be eut in haif. * This means layoffs. There is no other "ot to it. This means alinost imminent unein- ployment and neither the government or the public have prepared adequately for it. To the best of aur iniformation, no plans for change-over have been made in gavern- ment plants, suchi as Ajax for instance. * Workers employed there irili be on the Street with littie prospect of early re-employ- ment. The saine wiil be truc for scores of similar plants. The question then arises as to how weli these people are prepared withi savings for the carry-over. According toaa t aurvey published long ago iin Macleans ina- - gazine, the majority wil have insufficient savings ta tide over sare for a f ew monthîs. Those wha dlaim that ire can maintain pros- .~ - perity in peacetime as well as wartime noiv *have the chance ta lay their plans before the government and ail community organizations for the issue is riglit bef ore us noir. * In the U.S.A. practically ail the industriai centres have long been studying the ques- tion and have plans formulatcd for taking up the slack. But charactcristically, here in -. Canada, w-e have donc little and noir it is almost too late. Onie thing certain is that the individual wiih be throirn back on per- sonal resources %vhbere every cent saved irili eke out the pittauce of unernployment in- aurance. The savings portion of incanie ta"es ivili nat be avaîlable until after the war, anîd when uncmploy cd, savings have a habit of disappearing withî astonishing ra- pidity. For the past.thîre years The States- man bas callcd attention, froi turne ta time, ta this vcry matter that noir so closely confronts us. Again ire draw it ta public at- tention for it is the individual w-ho is vitally *affectcd. _V fBracken Regime Praised by Free Press The Winnipeg Free Press, alwayi a staunch supporter of Prime Minister Mae- keuzie I<ig, lias devoted considerable apace ta attutis upoîî John Bracken since lic became leader of the Progressive Conserva- tive> Party.

Canada's Brightest City How littie we know of n'any important centres across Canada iras inipressed upon us recentlv when some friend (we suspect it iras Jim C-rreeniblat, Editor of The Swift Current Suni) sent us a bookiel- tit1l "Swift Current Went to War." The bookiet is a special edition of "Cooper 's Store News."' And we fond to our arnazement titat it iras the 4lst annual edition of the publication. If we liad beenl asked, offliand, v«e should have said that Swift Currenit itseif couid ujat be that old. But now we have the evidence îlot ouly that S'wift Gurrent, Sask., has reached maturity but that it has a depart- ment store second to none in enterprise and that no doubt it has iWhly contributed to make Swift Current onje of C-anada's bright- est cities. We learn that, with a population of only 6.000 Swift Current aithoughi centred in a district having had more than its share of drouglit, grasshoppers and unemployment, together with its rural commulnity, lbas made a magnificent contribution ta the present war, even whule recovering from the desper- ately lean years. For 41 years, W. W. Cooper lias stuck with the town and the town and district bas stuck with him. In the 36 il- lustrated pages printed by the Cooper Private Press is told the story of onc smal city's war effort. Two and a haîf million dollars have been raiscd in 6 aver-the-top Victori- Loans. Four Service Clubs have survivcd to do their part for cammunity welfare and overseas gifts. Eight pages of rotogravure cuts show en- listed personnel, including 32 of. the Cooper staff. Tiiere are revicws of Women's Or- ganizations, the sehools, the Red Cross Clinie, Blood Donor 's Clinic, the Fraternal Lodges, indecd ail the services and institu- tions that make up a wide awake community. Through thie whole store runs the Cooper editorial toucli that gives ail credit to the people of the district. We are pleased ta re- ceive this unique publication and suggest that it be copied with beniefit ta many enter- prising centres. Our knowledge of gea- graphy and community ecanomies have been givenl a boost. We congratulate Swift Cur- rent and particularly W. W. Cooper, who Ihimself deserves the congratulations of the district he bas scrved s0 well. -V Why Ail The Haste? The family aliowance bill has been a first- class example of trying ta put reforms over without adequate consideration. There was no rush for family allowances at the moment. It is generaiiy adinitted that wartime employment can searcely peter out completely for at least a couple of years charge of men fron the services in lcss than another year. The Govcrnment lias already undertaken quite important schemes for housing. Private citizens, according ta the Grallup Poli, who are now renting houses, in- tend ta build 284.000 as soon as possible. While it will take time to couvert some fac- tories back ta peace-time emplo vient, èven that means work, and the demand for mator cars, radios and everything else is nlow piled ulp ta a pointwhere we certainhy should nat have mucli unemployment for some time after the war, in any case. Agriculture certainly looks like having a v-ery aequte market for its produets, for some tîme to corne. That is, ail our great measures for un- employznent insurance on a huge scale, for health insurance and family allowauees are not going to be wanted very acutely, for some time ta came. They are the sort of things which we shouid be considering building up, if they are ta be built up, ta meet conditions after the first post-war boom lias collapsed. They are not easy things ta arrange. After two years of study, a Hanse of Gommons conmittee is stili puzzied over heaith in- surance. The principlê oif paylng famlly aliawances is by no means utipopular. The contrais ta be applied, the amoUhnt of the allowance ta be paid, the tests ta see whether any family shouid have thie allowane or not, are al very difficuit questions, reqtuiring a great delof caref ul sfudy.---- it seems unfortunate that the (Iovernment liag rnshed into thîis business so0 rapidiy.r Perlaps what fthc Govermnet says &s truc,N anx the subjeet lias been very carefmuly1 studligd by gavernment men, perhaps mwhntS the ojpanents of tlic plan say is truc, and "Missin g" (Arnprior Chronicie) Only those who are gaing through this trying ordeal know the painful longing which fis the heart of the anc who is left walting and watching, lioping and praying, suffering in silence, but seldom, if ever, giving up ta despair.

The agreements ail date back ta April 1, 1944, and caver the joint activities of the bDepartment of Labor and the Provinces already carried out since that date. Under these agreements the Provincial Governments share jointly with the Dominion the cast of recruiting, placing and transporting workers for the ag- ricultural industry more effec- tivcly within the province. The Dominion agrees ta pay the Pro- vincial Govcrnmcnts up ta, a total of $523,000 as its share 'of the joint expenditures. In addition ta supporting the Provinces financially in recruit- ing and transferring farmn labor, the Dominion Government bears the entire exPenses of interpro- vincial farmn movements. A sumn Of $300,000 lias been pravided for this purpose. At the present time two interprovincial movemnents are under way. Fruit pickers in considerable numbers from Ai- berta and possibly somne fromn Saskatchewan have* been made available ta British Columbia. Also, a number of agricultural workcrs from the Prairie Pro- vinces are arriving in the East ta assist an Ontario farms.
