Living (Kilici ilu Action lu Itai,) Meat Rationino- Predicates Revised Govt. Policies As predicted by The Statesman and many other papers, meat rationing bas been revived by the Government. The situation that made this move inevitable was known before the general election but political ob- servers warîîed that the Goverument would flot net, fearing loss of votes. That their conclusions were correct is now clearlv dem- onstrated. And as this paper suggested. the public would be found almost eompletely ini agreement with this revived rationing of meats. Sinee the return of many soldiers from abroad the true story of starvation in Europe has been made known and the pub- lic will aceept ail possible curtailments at home to relieve the long standing miseries abroad. What is flot so generally appreciated is the probability that rationing will have to continue for a very considerable time. It is unlikely that European agriculture, especi- ally in meat production. can recover to fairly substantial subsistence levels, short of a period of three years. The facts are now generally known and it is likely the Govern- ment will again have to reassess its general agricult5ral policies. There lias beenna very heavy decline in hog production particularly due to grain subsidies so laid as to dis- courage feeding livestoek. And the farm manpower situation continues to be another factor limiting livestock production. Officiais of the Departrnent of Agriculture have indicated their awareness of the need for a policy to encourage more meat produc- tion but the Minister, Mr. Gardiner, bas not apparently corne to their vie w. It is quite apparent that he must soon consider a re- vised setup with Britain, whose people have agaîn snbmitted to meat reductions to feed Europeans. Any new revision ouglit to be concerned with at least a five-year period. There must also be a very rigid po]icy for prevention and coutrol of black markets whicli are almost certain 10 develop as lime goes on. The new- rationing measures must be made clear to evervone and the reason for them. A clearcut statement by the Minis- ter, and at once, would'be appreciated býy the public. We repeat our helief Ihat the people of Canada are prepared to do Ibeir part at al l imes. But they are entitled 10 wise leadership and fullest information frorn the newly elected Government. Danger Signs CroD UD In Goveroment Housing Seheme Despite the defeat of Socialism in the elec- tion, in wbich the OCF ccased to be a na- tional party, and ýbecame merely an agra- rian party in Western Canada, protesting against a Liberal Goverument b)ut not ready to accept tbe Progressive Conservatives, there eau 'be110 greater mistake than 10 imagine that ail the danger of Socialismn is over. We have in mind the rumors frorn Ottawa that the Government is likely to engage in large scale building of bouses. The facts are quite simple. There are at least 200 thousand people in -Canada wlio would be ready to build a bouse tonîorrowv, and have -enougli money to makze at least a reasonale p, ayment on account. The Gov- forever cbarged wilh tbe task of providinig housinig as a gover-iinment activity. lu the end, tbe Government would find itself pulled int (lealing willî the w'bole question of housimg and not onily with a few tbousand buildings iii ani emergeuey. Il is not enoug-h that the people of Can- ada should have shown tbeir objection to the tlîeories of Socialism, as preaelied by a Socîalist pitrty. If tliey will accepl Social- ism nI tbe bauds of a Government whieh says that it is flot Socialism, ini connection withi the provision of housing, then we shall go straiglit on in te direction of Socializ- ing everything else. It bas been saiO Iliat we bave bad great danger of winning the wnr, and losing the very principles for wvhich we were figbting. It is quile possible Ibat we may win an edec- lion against Socialism and still lose the fight. Scientific Research Is Greatest Aid to Prooiress We believe the greatest n'eed iin the w'orld todny is scientifie researchi. At every band we eau sec loday the great contributions that have come to us as a legaey fromn inen of science who bave tolied endlessly and often withoul personal profit in the field of research. We eau see too at every baud a lbousand things awaiting tlhe baud and braiti of scientists. In Ibis connection a new field of journnlismn is developing. Writers out- linîng The World Tomorrow, and 0f Things to Come, are stimulating public interesl in the fields of science and invention. And public interest will finally be the spur to government action lu giving more support iin the realut of researcli. Government budg-eting in this field lias for too long been far too narrow. Mere thousands bave been allolted wbere millions bave been needed to finance academie train- ing and practical research. Even*willi tbe linge estimates on thie agenda at Ottawa for social purposes w-e believe the publie would approve furîber millions for researchi for its potentials liold tlie higlIiest promise for bet- ter living standards. And of all branches of scientifie researcli, noue bolds more puten- tials for progress than in thie field of agri- culture. The groundwork bas been laid to make the agriculture of tomorrow vastly more productive thau ever before, but pro- grress in thîs spbere needs increasing governi- meut finance. The national science service in agricul- ture lias doue wonders in the past but a wliole range of matters await solutions at lte bauds of traîu-ed researchi personnel. Problems of breeding, nutrition, soil sur- veys, conîrol of pests and disease, animal and plant husbandry, markefing and agricultur- al economies are matters wbicb limel will show- that only thie fring-es bave been scientifically -explored. This is basic ex- ploratory wýork for the immediate future uipon wbicli will rest lte w-bole national ce- onomie fabrie. And the whole seheme of national researcli must bc co-ordinaled. We miglit sugg-esl a special Ministry for Ihis problem. Cerlainlv there mtust be miore eni- couragement and more liberal financing if we are lu become the beileficiaries of wbnt scientifie researcb boids ini store. liard Work and lionestv Dr. F.

"If we are lu provide jobs for al the men and women enger lu work," said lie, "tîere mnust bec ise and careful planning by bun- dreds of tliousands of inidividuals. We must keep our minds on problemis, nul on pana- ceas. Within Ibis Dominion and beyond ils borders, there is mucli that Canadians must contribute lu the pence and prosperity of the world. The problems are infinitelv di- verse. We are face lu face witb lte simple fact thial Ibere is nu single program Ilial will ensure eilhcr pence or prosperity. Neyer i its bistory did Canada stand in greater nced of men and women wiîb knowlcdg-e and clear îhinking. Day after dax-. iii many different places and many dif- ferent cotexîs you will bcecalled upon lu mnake decisions that will influence the course OfP poslwar reconstruction.

These are lte lbingýs for w'hîch men fouglbt, and xorked and saerifieed.
