JAMES, Editor Today O-pens Drive For British Flood Relief We can scarcely lend any more emphasis ta the xleed for supportlng the drive for British Flood Relief than has been contained, in the &tories that have appeared in The Satesman for nome time past. Our *alm has been to direct public attention ta the fact that the British people are now facing the most serious situation that has arisen in that country for a century. In many cases the bardsbips are more severe and complicated than in the days of the Irish famine. Living so comfortably bere it is bard to capture the true picture in Britaîn today. Àfter publishing many columns of news of the present plight of British people that came ta us direct from travellers who visited England duning the winter, it was with great satisfaction we heard the voice of Premier George Drew calling on the people of Ontario to take part in a campaign to raise money, food and clothing ta be sent to Britain as some measure of relief. Pull particulars of the drive in this community are pulished in this issue. Now it is up to us ta do our part. The drive opens today, May Ist, and con- tinues to, May lSth. It is headed up by Hon. Russell T. Kelley, Ontario Minister of Health. Mayors of municipalities, service clubs and other organizations are helping in the organ- ization. The entire press of the province is lending full support. From what bas been pub- lished in The Statesman we belleve the position is fully understood. We went ail out ta stand with Britain during war. We can do no less now when their morale is being tested even more greatly. In this case, once again, let us go over the top as we have always done. United Counties H-ealth Unit Suhmits Splendid Report The Northumberland and Durham Heaith Unit bas recently published ifs first full year's report since its inception in the feul of 1945. Dealing with the year, 1946, the report gives a comprehensive summary of the many activities undentaken and the financial statement sbowing revenues and expenditures. The report is now available to the public but since its distribution will probably reach-only a smaîl proportion of the public, The Statesman publishes a summany of it.s contents in another column. But this by no means gives the entire picture. We have no hesitation in saying that we believe the wonk done by the Health Unit is a great step forward in promoting the health of al the peoplè of the united counties and partic- ularly of children. The remarkable thing is that sa inuch bas been donc in the face of the short- age of treined personnel and the many thîngs to be encountered in the flrst year of orgen- ization. While our summary is ail ta brief we hope it will be read as a means of better under- standing of the value of the Health Unit. Profit-Maklng is the Source of Al Material Progress It is just as simple as that. What this country needs is a lot of skilled profiteena en- gaged in building factories, whicb wili employ more and more menx et higher and higher wages, to produce more goods to be sold at lower and lower pnièea. 7%at la thie history of miodern civilization, profit-making is thie source of aIl matenial pro- gress. W. may pray that the profiteer may be wise in the use of bis profits, that he may abstain from being mniserly with them, that he may be genenous in asslsttng those ini diatress. but let us hope that be does not stop tnying to profit If h. doca, thene wIll be few new factonies built, no increases ini wages, few new types of goods being produced to b. aold tb the masses. 0f ail the tyrannies on human kind the worst in that whlch persecutes the mind. .-Drvden Looking Into The Future Some readers get a rather warped Idea of a newspaper'a function. As thceBrantford Ex- positon commenta, some people appear alightly resentful when a newspaper offens an opinion, particularly when It la contrary te their own views. One even gains the impression that one or two citizens may barbon the notion that a newspaper sbould be seen but net heard. A llgbt basic reading ln the bistory cf democ- racy sud cf thc free press whlch is a key pillar cf democracy, will correct this misappre- bension. WIihso many plesure-loving people shun- ning public and pivate responsibilities, due ta mental lazlness and indifference, the invisible noose cf dlctaborsbip ia graduaily strangltng their sensibilitica cf liberty and frcedom. Like thc misgulded people cf Russia, GSrmany and Italy wc will realize our predicament when lb is toc late. The mastermlnd cf the Commun- tta wiil then be- ln complete contrai with Uieir reign cf fear, terror and destruction. How Jobs Are Created Told ini Goodyear Message The advertisement cf the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company cf Canada, which appeans ini this issue of The Statesman, geta rigbt down to fundamentels wben it heada up its message: "What Docs lb Cost te Create a Job?" If tbis editonial bas any effect at ail we bope those wbo read it will turn at once and read tbc adven- tisement. For ib is rlgbt in line with wbat The Statesman bas been insisting for some yeers back, that "Industry Has a Story te Tell." The Goodyear message is sound, solid public inform- ation, happily told et this particular time. lb shows that in every avenue cf pnogress, someone has to take the lead and in se doing bas advanced the standard cf living cf every- one in thbe national community as well as peoples with wbom we brade. Imaginative thinking and tbe energy of the f ew carnies with bhem great benefits bo the weeker members cf society the unimaginative, bbe bhrifblcss, and even the intellectuel theonists who are long on talk, short on performance, agitetors net creaters. Men who invent, create, invest, take risks, bave ln bbc past been toc 'busy or bec ebsorbed to tell' thein story. The socialists meke a great point cf stete planning as the cure-ell for wbab Uiey cal public miscries. But neyer do thcy admit that under the planning of industrialists and build- ers, people in the free democracies have rcacbcd a standard cf living fer highen than any ailier peoples anywhere under -stabe planning. Those wbo take thc lead in initiative and enterpnise are entitled te some reward for their invesbment cf ime and moncy. Socialists think obhenwise. Se we believe tbc public will be wcll adviscd to read Uic reel story told by Goodyear. Canada in Wrack and Ruin According to CCF Members ,Tremiab would be ight in bis clement if it were possible for him te read thc recent speech- es pleced on Hansard by membens of thbCC00 party. Debate bas binged on bbc governmcnt's omnibus bill te continue 57 orders in council wbich will cxbend controls for another ycan. The socialists support the bill under pretest for tbey wanb controls reimposed ight down the line on everybody and evcrything save contno'l over wagcs cf fectory workers whicb wes ne- moved some ime ago. Neyer bas thc House heard such lamentation ever the awful fate faced by Canadiens should their freedom be restorcd by removal cf controls and contrellers.1 Twclve CCF members in succession bave ranted and reved about restoning free enter- prise wbich would give free sway te brutal menopoly capitehists.

Radical Farm Front Wedglng Into Ontario A news- Item lan thc deihy press, Apnil 23nd, will be cf interest ta members cf Uic Federebion of Agriculture la particuler sud people of On- banio generehiy. Thc report stetes tint Carl Simpfle, President, and Robent Routiller, Sec- rebary cf tic Alberta Farmers' Unien, wene in- vibed te attend a farm meeting 'in Newburg, Ont., te discuss "direct action policy" fer On- tarie. The object cf Uic Ontario Fermera' Un- ion as statcd et Nepance, Feb. 28th, is promotion of agriculture in aIl branches and eccnomic se- curiby te ahi engaged in agriculture. Wbat la Uic background in this case? Mn. Stimpflc led tic recent stnike cf 20,000 farmens in western Canada as iead cf Alberta Fermera' Union. Thc Canadien Federabion cf Agriculture cleanly dissociated itsclf from Uic movement. In a recent letten te Tic Stetesmen, A. W. Meguire, Calgary, native cf Durbam County, seid bic stnike wes led by radicals and communists in nortiern Alberta. Se these twe sideligits, one by bic officially recognized voice cf Canadien agriculture, thc other by e very bigbly lnforrned observer, shed much ligbt on bbc meeting ebove mentioncd. lb waa genenelly ecccpted- et bbc time that thc western f arm stnike wes a radical movement.
