This was the first meeting of the sea- son and it proved very interesting. The -subject was a live one: WVihat About Farm Taxes? It was admitted that farmers do not keep books as a general rule, or at least not adequately. Some would' say because he is too tired, some might say because he is too 'gazy. An eight-hour work day L(twould give him more time for this. Nt was unanimous that if a farmer came under the income tax group it wasn't an eight-hour day that got him there. The income tax forms are so terribly complicated for farmers.- J. J. Mellor asid Russell Osborne, representing the County Federation, visited the meeting and were heartily wel- comed. Mr. Mellor explained a good many points and stressed the fact that the Forums were the backbone of the Federation and whiatevem was accomplished would be through them. There were about 25 present. Next meeting Novernber 1l at Stanford Vancamp's. Mr. Mellor bemoans the fact that there are not enough forums. How about starting one in each school sec- tion?

We quote below only a few high- lights o! the optimism he ex- pressed and regret that space does not permit a full report. A Glance Backwards Before the plunge into the fu- ture let's glance backwards. What was the prospect in 1846? That was the year in which Kari Marx began the preparation of the fa- mous manifesto promulgated, in 1848,-the manifesto which an- nounced the approaching end of the capîtalist system and the break-up of free society. Lots of things have happened since 1846, but, despite vicissitudes and mis- fortunes, the free system of so- ciety is stili with us and, as a re- sult, the standard of living for the average citizen in the democra- cies has enormously împroved. No More World Wars Let me say at once that I arn an optimist in regard, to interna- tional war,-the kind to which we have been accustomed.. It is true the League of Nations did not suc- ceed but it made a useful begin- ning; the language of internation- al thinking was defined even if the habit was not esta'blished. Now the United Nations organizations have b egun to operate. There are, as usual, opposing schools of thought about the United Nations. I amn sure the pessimists are wrong. True, there is a lot of talk about the impossibility of Communism and Freedom exist- ing side by side; but let's go be- hind the product of the propa- ganda machines. 'Although the present regime in Soviet Russia is Communist, the foreign policy of Russia is much the sanie as it was in the days of Catherine the Great. In her anxiety for secur- ity Russia is insisting upon con- trol of the fringe of border states both in Europe and in Asia. With some aspects of the policy and the methods employed in establishing and maintaining this control the Western World is unhappy; but the Western World will not go to war on that account. There is no question of any great power attacking Soviet Russia by way of aggression; conversely there is not the faintest chance of Soviet Russia conducting armed aggres- sion against the British Common- wealth or the United States. We shall have lots of trouble and, no doubt, periodical crisies, but there is not going to be a World War III on the model of World War I or II, and the people who will en- joy the hospitality of the Legior in Orillia one hundred years from tonight will be able to lolk back upon a century without any maj or armed conflict. Troubles Within I have said there will be no more world war. But we shall not be free of trouble. The danger to our civilization in the next cen- tury is not from external aggres- sion, but from internai disagree- ment and paralysis, perhaps civil war. Industrial relations are de- teriorating. The enemies of our free society natumally encouragE this deterioration. We have got to contrive somehow in the nexi few years to establish a reason- able and just basis for the volun- tary co-operation of Labour and Management. The joint respons. Into The Atomic Age 4 The next century will see chan- ges in our material surroundings far greater than in any previous century, not excluding the period of the beginning of the industriai era. By two thousand and forty- six we shall be weil advanced into the age of atomic power; al previous inventions are reiatively insignificant,-the wheel, printing press, the steam engine, the aero- plane,-all are trivial compared with the application of atomic en- ergy. Here we have power in- herent iný matter which will be available everywhere, and then there really can begin the steady ascent of humanity, an ascent during which every human task from agriculture to, medicine will be revolutionized. Many Changes Hitherto discussion of atomic energy has been confined aimost1 exclusively to the danger to civil- ization of its use in war. But there are other very serious prob- lems that will be presented by the development of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. The standard of living will be rapidiy raised; hours of work will be reduced; educators, the clergy, and sociol- ogists, wîll -be needed as neyer be- fore: capitalists, labour leaders, economists, statesmen, will have to devise alternative means of useful employment for the work- ers displaced by the new machine age. I believe we shall ding to our freeciom tbut it will be free- dom sanctified to hurnan well- being and not freedom translated into irresponsible license. Back to the Countryside One recalis that in school we used to wonder how the people of the Middle Ages and right down to modemn times could sur- vive the squalor and discom'fort which appeared to be the lot of the vast majority. Our wonder about the discomfort of our an- cestors is mild indeed compared with the wonder of the school children of two thousand and forty-six at the conditions we sur- survive. It is not going to be easy to convince the children four or five generations hence that sane people lived in the great rabbit- warrens we cail cities. In the ap- proaching era of vastly developed power and rapid communications, city populations will be widely dispersed in adjoining rural areas. People then will no more think of living in cîties or towns than they would now think of living in the offices or factories where they work. British Commonwealth Remains To the world of two thousand and forty-six the British Com- monwealth stihi .will be indispens- able. The Vnited Nations wil have evolved in the pattern of a group of federations, European, Asiatic, an~d American. The na- tions of the British Common- wealth will provide an important inter-federation link. Canada, of course, will have strengthened her position, as the undisputed leader of the intermediate nations and then wiil be almost ready to qualify as a major power. A Spiritual Test Remarkable as have been the achievements of the past, particu- larly in the pioneering period, the tasks of the next century will be TO NUGLECT SHIFFLES, SHEEZES 0F A bottie o!

What about the political scene in two thousand and forty-six? This is admittedly dangerous ground., but I shaîl do my best to be objective. Obviously if we are going to have the tremendous pro- gress I have forecast, then the in- dividual free citizen will put up with only the minimum of res- trictions and controis. Our great- est development period will need the old pioneering qualities of ad- venturousness, and robust self-me- liance to the nth degmee. It is to be hoped that our main political parties do not split up into nu- merous littie parties. Our consti- tution works best with relatively few parties seeking public favor. H.mes. m Schools Canada Needs Electoral Reform This country needs some mea- sure of electorai reform if minor- ity rule is to be avoided, inform- ed observers of the Canadýian pol- itical scene tells the Financial Post. Some of those replying to The Post's question- of -the- week say the only reform needed is on the part of voters themselves-more of them should go to the polis, they should be forced to vote. Among revised systems, the trans- ferable vote is most popular, pro- portional representation least. Feeling is that a man cannot do his best in parliament or legis- lature if he knows-as many do today-that more votes were poil- ed against him than for him.

Can we adapt ourselves to a rapidlyý- changing material environment, to an unprecedented extension of matemial well-'being? I believe we can and will adapt ourselves: but a good deai will depend on how the unfinished business of this genemation is handled. Our Unfinished Business No dloubt we shail still have our state-worshippers who, distrust- ing the free Canadian way, would fasten on us one of the forms of serfdom that owe their origin and inspiration to that high priest of frustration, Kari Marx. But with the rapid improvement of the lot of the average citizen it is going to be incmeasingly hard to con- vince Iim that he would be bet- ter off by handing over ail his af- fairs to a gang of Communists. What We Hand On The Canadians of two thousand and forty-six no doubt will look forvArd to a further period of development and expansion as they prepare their country for promotion to the status of a great power. Let us be sure that we clear up the unflnished business of this genemation in such a way that we hand on a nation, strong, well-geared, well-balanced, intel- ligent, God-fearing, ready to face the future whatever it hoids.

But again I am not pessimistic. Oganized labour is becoming aware of the danger of Communist infiltration; also management and capital are real- izing that the only valid justifica- tion for the continuance of the free systemn is its social necessity, -in other words, management and capital acknowledge that they must demonstrate beyond ail rea- sonable doubt their indispensa- bility to a free, happy, and pros- perous society.
