Rural-Urban Centre Suggested Bv Local Farmer When Forbes Heyland, Toronto born and educated, came from the city to make good at farming just outside the town of Bow- manville, lie brought more than a deter- mination to make good. H1e brouglit some sound ideas as well. Some of these lie pre- sented to the Rotary Club in lis classifica- tion address on Friday. One of lis striking suggestions ivas .that the entire community, both town and country people.' ouglit to get together and pool funds to create a "real community centre"' primarily for the benefit of our greatest asset, the youth of the whole district. Some people stili vîew this as nîcre idcalism. Wc deem it one of high practical worth, easily attainable once thle public are properly aroused. The things suggested were first and fore- most, a modern, free public library, then a rink and playing fields and community parks and possibly facîlifies for a "littie theatre"; the whole a heailihful, cultural project, which once attained would be sus- tained in perpetuity. There is a central lo- cation now habited by an unsightly, unused factory building, which could be converted to use for some of these units, particuiarly for a rest park surrounding a iibrary. It is true that some of these projeets have long been mooted and, only lately, money bas been raised for a new hospitai and a memnor- ial park and funds started for a rink. But the suggestion of Mr. Heyland was that if people of the country were invited to join in tlie$e projects a better impetus would bc provided. Since al oads lead f0 town aud automobiles have made possible a freer association, the rural youth could enjoy fully flie advantages provided. Now we are supposed to be at the dawn qj a new day, it is very logical f0 entertain sugges- tions of this character. It is quite possible too, that were some public spirited citizen, plentîfully supplied with worldly wealth, to start the bail rolling witli a remembrance gift, the genemal public would follow on and complete this creative community plan. If is jusf the sort of thing that a community newspaper would back f0 the limif. Pity The SmaIl Business Deprived of Excess Profits The Toronto Daily Star recently car- ried a remarkable ediforial, aguing fliat the making of profits by corporations in excess of the amouilt requimed to provide faim inferest on in.vesfments in them is a very Wicked thing. The argument is that these excess profits are then used by corpor- ations to provide expansion which would otherwise have f0 be paid for by niew cap- ital. As the Toronto Leftist paper points out, the excess profits are used by the cor- porations withouf paying any interesf on them, whule new capital would have to ob- tain interesf. The Toronto Star finds this unfair f0 consumers and wants ahl excess profits taken away by the State. This is the sort of sfory which sounds quite impressive wlien if is told about some large corporation, but if is easy to see how absurd if is when we apply the sainie prin- ciples to a store or a taxi stand, or a saw- mill. A mail invests $10,000 of bis nonev iii a business, on which lie makes, say .6 per cent, which is no more than reasonable inter- est on 11101ev whicli is risked iii this way. Suppose lie succeeds iin good years ini mak- ing naîothr 4pr1 etwi4.a-odîgt chance for awhile, anid seIlluhs goods and bis services more cheaplv fliaitif lic lad paid interest on thflinoney for ftie extension. trusfing f0 the growtlu of his btsîîîess f0 bring a compeiLsation for doing this. Thaf is where we tliiuk the Toronto Star is absolutely wmong. Thle accumulationi of excess profits saved ul) to inake extensions to business is not unfair to flie consuniers, and is quite likely to be less of a burden on the consumers flian would be tlie making of al extensions and improvements on bormowed capital on whicli intemesf bad to be paid. The point is, of course, that the Troronto Star would uever use this argument about a store or any. other small business, for flicre are too inany people wlio would sec the joke at once. Biy using this sort of laîîguage about great corporations the Toronto Star hopes that if w'ill be able to exploit the pre- judice builf up by- the Toronîto Star and other journals off lis type agaiiisf large cor- porationîs. However flic fmufh is flic trutli. The same priîîciples apply in flic case of large corporations as in flic case of a small enter- prise, and even flic Toront o Star caniiof change fliaf fact. Ineidenfally, if would be quite infcrest- ing f0 know whflicr flic Toronito Star, whicb lias made ifs enferprise one of flic mosf suceessful and oufstaîiding corporations in Canada, followed fthc plan whicl iti now ecomunends. Our informationî is fliat The Star builf up ifs businîess b3- accumulating exacfly fliose exeess profits of whieic i is now eomplainiing. Prime Minister King Returns From Overseas TriD) More tlîan a 'monifh ago Prime Minister King weîîf overseas on a mission whicli mai13- flouglît to be iargely concerncd witb an aftcînpt f0 restore a measure of liarmony amoîîg stafesmen wliose conclaves eîîded iii disagreemeîîf and recrimiîîafions. lis per- soîîal message before leaving w-as liaf lie planned a tour of Europe f0 conîfer wif h personages of importance. f0 view some of tlie scenes of armed coîîflict and most cer- taiiily to visif wifh Canadian forces still abroad, wlio were still standing f0 if affer a magnificent contributionî f0 victomy.

Ac- comding to press reports lie neyer leff Lon- don and spent most of bis f ime in bis liotel room. While f lire lie received a joint cable from 25 memibers of thie Canadian parlia- ment, including 7 Liberals, praying fliaflic infercede against tlie forceful removal of displaced persons from western Europe. These membei-s evidently felf as did flic Canadian public, fliaf Mm. King 's mission uvas one of great opportunify for bis recog- nîzed talents in compromise.
