The action follows the lead of the USA gov- ernment in taking over oil refineries that had l)eeolle strikce-bouuld. This course in regard to thie packing plants was urged on the gýoverninent by H. H. Hanuam, Presi- dent, Caîîadiail Federation of Agriculture, anothier case of wbere the voice of farmers bias been heeded througli their accredited spokesman. Mr. Hannam stressed that sucb a course wouild be justified iin the lig-ht of disastrous losses 10 livestock mien resulting frorn strikes at this lime, with serions interruption to the marketing programme now under way. With neW 'ail-lime records now beiug sel and hog marketings sliitly ou the increase, il is vital that marketing, macbinerv be main- tained. lu the event of a strike, government operation was held as the ouly way to en- sure plants operating at full capacity. Meaiitime negotiations couid go forward in settling the labor dispute. Similar action wvas recommended 10 the government some weeks ago when a strike was on in eastern Canada. The Federalion believes, said Mr. Hannam, that such a re- commeudation should be proniptly embraced by the governiment and the course made known 10 both packing companies and their employees in any case where a strike-threat- eus. Now that the goverument has appar- ently acted. there are 1w-o observations that may be stated. First, that the Federation is alert in safeguarding farmers' interests and second that the goverumeut gives heed 10 what il bas 10 sav-. Mr. Hannam acted promptly and properly in a developiug crisîs and the fact should be noted by ail farmers who are înot now members of the Federalion but benefit directly from il.

SPEAKS FOR VICTORY LOAN Writing from Ottawa where he is attending sittiug of the present parliament, Charles E. Stephen- son, M.P., makes the following appeal for the 9th Victory Loan: "I notice that the objective set is $2,050,000. If wouid appear at first Ihat Ibis objective is high, but, again, when we consider that there is just one loan 10 be fioaîed lu the coming year instead of two, il makes a considerable differ- ence. I believe that this coming loan is the most important that we have ever had, and I have no sympathy with the people who are taiking discouragingly o! il. 1 think we should not forgel sa soon our promise la the men and womeu who served in the Cana. dian Armed Forces, and our obli- galion 10 those who have returu- ed, and 10 those who have yel Ici retumu. Everycine must realize the enormous amount of money it will take 10 pay graluities, Ser- vice Pay, and the cost of re-estab- lishing in civil life as well as hos- pitalization and pensions for those who have sacrificed sa much for us and made it possible that we may sf111 live lu this grand coun- try of ours under democratic rule. "If Ihere is any message that I might communicate 10 the mem- bers of the 9th Victory Loan Committee and ta the good citi- zens of Durham County il wauld be this: 'Let us ail iu Durham County support the 9th Viclory Loan generously, and in this way prove that we wiUl keep faith witb Ihose who sacrificed so much for us.' ý Yours sincerely, CHAS. E. STEPHENSON, Member for Durham County ROY RAMAN RETURNS ON ILE DE FRANCE Advance notice of returning soldiers is given aut for the Baw- mnanville district only from M.D. 3, Kingston.

Prior 10 enlisting, Roy. made his home with his aunt, Mrs. Newton Hackney. He plans 10 remain ln town after diseharge and 10 con- tinue residence with the Hack- ney family. MILITARY TRUCKS One of the major aclivities de- veioped with the War Assets Cor- poration by the representative of the Federation lu recent monlhs has been the sale of military trucks deciared surplus from the army, direct 10 farmers, under a1 special plan by whîch a certain1 percentage of these trucks has been assigned by war assets for disposai 10 farmers under the special sales plan organized by the corporation and the federa- tion. Under this plan, a special price is set upon the trucks, at which the farmers purchase themn without any guarantee of servic- ing or repairs Four of such sales have aiready been held in On-. tario, and sales are now being ar- ranged by the federation repre- sentalive and the corporation to be held in other provinces. FARM WAGES Reports of the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics indicate that the trend is sf111 upward lu wages paid ta farm help. At August 15, the Dominion reports, the aver- age wage of maie heip on the farm iu Canada per monîli with board was $7 1.68, compared wiîh $65.99 at the same date in 194â and $61.81 lu 1943, au increase of 16 % in the two years. When Nazi U-boat commanders hoisted black flags of sur. render, it was a "go ahead" Signal ta the three out of every eight Canadians who normaily depend for their livelihood on export trade. For five years the flow of foreign trade has been iargely a gov- erument responsibility. But now, to help create peacetime jobs, Canad.ian enterprise must do its fuit share ini finding customers abroad. This means doing business ail over the world, ia strange and distant cities, in a hundred languages and currencies, Canadian bankS have a key raie in this complicated but essen- uial peacetime task. Every day their fareign branches and carres- pondents arrange credits, handle documents and perform other intricate operatians ta bring buyers aad sellers together acrass the obstacles of distance, language and custom. This banking service is of primary importance ta business and to every Canadian worker as Canada turas ta the task of re- creating trade abroad ta provide jobs at home.
