Showdown or Blowup on The Farm Front Things are rapidly coming to the point where there must be a showdownl or blowup on tlie farm front. Members of parliament representing, rural constituencies, and they are much in the majority, will havé -to be- stir tliemselves to urge more insistently that farmers be giveni a break ail along the hune if there is any hlope of meeting denîands for more food. Fromt what we ean learn locally among farmers, the feeling is one of coin- plete muddle on wliaf is desired by the feci- eral Minister of Agriculture. Dairy farm- ers are particularly uip against it, at least those capable of looking soîne distance ahead. Others just go ahead in the vague hope that providence will somehow take care of them. It is true that a production conferene was held at Ottawa last fail ont of which a production seliedule was forrnnlated but how many farîners actually know what was planned? It is true also that the Canadian Federation of Agriculture lias madle repeaf- ed and sfrong represenitationis. But the many fhings they have secured froin e- luctant officiais for a square deal for the farmers, leaves many oflier fhings in the category of "We shallf ake it under ad- visement." It will also lie seen from read- ing Hansard, that off en a faim menîber pressing for a better deal is shouted down witl tlie cry, "But that is class legisiation." Over the weekend the editor hias been called on the telephone by farmers who point out that the cost of roofing,, of wire fence, of farm implements, lias been per- mitted by the governinent to risc at least 12 percent. For six years tliey have waited to get these very fhing-s and niow, without compensating returnis for wliat they produce they see theiiý savings vanishing or the pros- pect of borrowing to go aliead and produce food. At the sane timne. fari labor costs have again adanced without anv governrnent plan to meet the condition and eveni fewer takers to meef fthc farim labor shortage. No wonder they cômplaini of a conmplete inuddle on thie farin front. So far as ftic cry "class legisiationl' is concerned, one inforîned fariner points out that Cdaniada exporf cd 300.'000,000 busheis of wheat last year at a pruce of $1.55 per busliel when the world price wvas arouind $1.75, and the faim price $1.'25. Ail this represents a sacrifice by fthe 'farmi class" of upwards of $160.000.000 whcen it slîould have been shiared liv ail the people. He con- cluded:'"Andi yct they shont, "class legis- lation." The editor- of a wcekly paper is one w-ho hears direct froin farmners. particularINy whien fhey feel thaf, they are being ftreated with disregard ini fle matter of e(luality. No " lass" is more aiuxious fo meet tihe needs of the lîour on Ime food front. *We agrce with fainers whien they sax- they hiave about reachied the limiits of patience and endurance.

Liquor License Act Now Operative in Province It is unnecessary to stafe fliat the tiadi- tional poliey of The Statesmani in regard to fthc liquor question lias been consistently one of support ing the fullcst nîcasure of femperance if is possible to achieve. For the 40 years that Bowmanville lias beemi a dry town, the views expresscd in this paper w-e lelieve have been one of the main causes in keeping Bowmanville a dlean, progress- iv-e, temperance town. In the vote last year which souglit public expression on intro- dncin'g govern ment liquor stores w-e took a firmn stand f0 flic end that the measure wvas defeafeci. But iii the recemît issue ini which the Ontario governmcnt souglit to amend the Liquor License Act', w-e have so far me- frained fmom comment. But niow that the legisiation lias liccome ef fective', we blcieve somne commnmt li The Stafesmami is expected. The main point of concemu is whther fle ic ew law will increase or decrease drinkîng, particuiarly in regard to yotnng people. According f0 the brief sulimitteci by thie Attorney General, the objective seemis f0 have been to do away wifhlicheisgracefui coniditions iii beer parlors, f0 open crinking louniges iii ap- proved premises as an offset f0 hofel-bed- room liais, fo proceed by w-ay of "educea- tion" ii effecting moderation, anîd lasf]y f0 f iglten regniatiomîs 50 effccfively that purvcyors brcaking fhe Iaw will be sulijeef f0 drastie penalties.

PERSIA AND ICELAND If is amusing fo witness the long faces which appeared at flic news of the set flement of fthe dis- pute between Persia and the So- viet. One mighf expect thaf, in parts of the western world, theme were influential people who did nof want a friendiy sefflement. One might suspect that there were people who hoped fo use the situa- tion which was developing in Persia as an excuse f0 whip Up sentiment for future war against Rusia. The plain facf is thaf there ne- ver was any more excuse f0 falk about war coming ouf o! the Per- sian-Russian difference flian there was f0 talk about war coming ouf of Indonesia, Greece, the French siofli in quitfing Lebanon-or the incrcasing determinafion of the United States f0 hang on to Ice- land. When the fuss and fury had died away the common people were allowed f0 discover the facts: Thaf the whole "crisis" in Persia was nothing more or less than another grab for oul. Ever since petroleurn supplant- ed coal, big powers have been scrambling -fuorui. The Britishi are stili far ahead of the Russians in getting Persian oul into their tankers. United States infcrests have also recently crashed the gates of flic middle east oilfields in a big way. Even if the Soviet lias gaincd a juicy concession in n'ortliemn Persia (which remains f0 prove ifs juiciness) the Soviet is stili far bchind tlie smoother working concession grabbers from fthc west, in nef resuits. The Soviet met hod of opera- ting in foreign affairs is offen dis- concerting, sometimes clumsy, and occasionally cmude.' That was surcly so in flic case of the Persian oul concession. Acfually there was no reason why the Soviet should have been ashamed o! what was afoot, for fthc final oufeome was cleanly in New Cabinet Members Sworn in on Monday Following is flic list of Cabinet Ministers in Premier George Dmew's Ontario Progressive Con- servative Govcmnmenf, including new appoinfees sworn in Monday.

There was no good reason why -fromn the beginning-the Soviet should have refused to tell UN the true facts-fhat negotiations were proceeding; and that her troops would be out of Persia monflis before the last of British and French troops were due f0 leave nearby Lebanon. There is an obvions weakness of the UN to date. There is a dis- position f0 assume fliat it is an international body to prevent So- viet aggression-to oust Red ar- mies from places where Red ar- mies have no permanent right f0 be-mn a word, to prevent the ex- pansion of Russian influence. Nothing could more surely wreck the organization as thaf one-eyed outlook. UN can only succeed by playing no favorites- by applying precisely the same mules f0 ail powers. UN was right to face up square- ly f0 the Persian issue. But UN was not so obviously riglif when if failed f0 keep flic same watch- fnl eye on the sefflement made in Indonesia, or in Lebanon-whicli allows French froops f0 dling un- fil June, 1947. In World War I we used fa pull ou guns by six-house teams. The wastage in horses was ieavy. When fthc fime came to pull ouf from one wam front there used f0 be a great deal o! iarse-fhe!t.

Wlicn the sentries ran f0 sec wliaî was wiat, accomplices af the far end of the lines noise- lessly got away with fie horses. Therc's more than a liffle of that going on in UN.
