There is urgent -reason for municipalities, regulatixxg town planning, but, beyond that the best thing ta, do with housing la te leave It te private enterprise. There is one clear exception. Nothixxg bas ever been done to give direct and general assis- tance ta, veterans for heusing. Veterans have been aided te obtain educa- tien, ta establish businesses, and to set up as farmers. The great majerity of the veterans do net want any et these things, and are men who have just reestabiished. themselves under thelr awn steam by eeking employment in the sert et business which they liked. These meni get ne detinite assistance in regard te housing, except a first chance at Government heusing et varieus sorts. There should be a boan on easy terms to, every veteran who wants te build himselt a bouse. Beyand that, the Gevernmexit had bet- ter get eut et the housing business. Unswerving Moscow Policy Is Disclosed in Byrnes' Siory The limited number et Canadians seekixig today te get a firm understanding et the con- tixiued instransigeance et Russia at United Na- tions meetings can new get a look behixid the scenes inx the story et J. F. Bërnes currentiy ap- pearlng lxx the magazine section of the Mon- treal Standard issued for distribution every Saturday. Mr. Byrnes, former United States Secretary et State, accompanied President Roosevelt te the Yalta coxiterence where bath currexit and post-war preblems were threshed eut with Churchill and Stalin. Byrnès took shorthaxxd notes trom which he later assembled his absorb- ixig story. He discleses the double-talk an-d sîigle purpese et the cemmunist leader. Fer instance, having received by special diplomatie air peuch the whole setup propesed for the Security Ceuncîl in plenty et time te give it careful study, Marshal Stalin admitted at Yalta he had net bothcred te read it, yet ho had minute information on every ather matter an the agenda. Mr. Byrnes asserts he had a very sure feeling that Stalin was littie interest- cd in the United Nations Organization. But Stalin ferecast future difficulties li these words: "I think the task is tô secure aur unity i the future and we must agree on a cov- enant for that purpase. The danger lies in the possibility et coxilicts ameng ourselves." But he etfered littie hope when he cexicluded with this assertion, "My cofleagues li Moscow can- net forget that i 1939 during the Russian-Fin- nish war, Britain and France used the League ot Nations te, expel and iselate us." It Is quite clear that Stalin has a penetrat- ing intellect and knows ail the answers but bis refusai to study the terms et the Security Coun- cil proposais and later accept them overnight leaves oxly one reasenable conclusion, that he had his mind made up in advance te pursue the policies reselutely being advanced today and which were rigidly set forth 30 years age. Mr. Byrnes makes this very clear in his articles in Tite Standard. breed saved $35,000,000 a yeer lni aubadieson vheat.

Kitchener-Waterloo District Off The Beam on Ontario Apples Apple growers et Durhamn County heard vith amazement the stery that Boy Scouts et the Kit- chener-Waterleo District had te import 650 cas- es et British Celumbia apples for their Scout Apple Day, because as the District Scout Cern- missioner, George Charltoxx said: "Apples et sut- ficient quality axid quaxitity caxneot be obtained from Ontario growers." This news was bead- llned li the Kitchener Daily Record, a copy et which was forwarded te The Statesmen by Alex Gilbert, fermer successtul merchant et Black- stock, xxew et Kitchexier, who added ne comment because he deemed it uxixecessary te retute this otviously misieading statement. But Scout Commissiener Charlton went fur- ther i disparagixig Ontario apples among ap- ple-mixxded Scouts when he said. "The North Waterleo district has tor smre years been im- portixig its apples tram the west anxd other dis- tricts are following suit. We take pride in the tact that we otter the public only the best ap- pies we can secure!' The B.C. appies were dis- played ixi local stores anid the K-W Sales and Ad Club wcre chosen as judges ot the exiibits. Se. Scout Apple Day has become British Columbia Day ixx North Waterloo. Why is Ontario being said short ixi this riding, the birthplace et Cen-' ada's Prime Minister, W. L. Mackenzie King? Fortunate]y this boycott on Ontario apples is made at a time et the year when a test may be made as te whether the allegations are souxxd. We suggest that the Ontario Apple Growers' Association po1 a tund te provide an ali-ex- pense visit et Mr. Charlton and the K-W Sales and Ad Club te the Royal Winter Fair te sec Oxtario apples in ail their glory et "quaxtity anid quality." We would even go tarther anid Include ample tunds ta bring along a Scout Troep from Waterloo and let the boys themsel- ves tind eut whether they have been given a ruxxarouxid. And let them take home a tew cases et Oxtarie apples a free gift te display inx store windows et home. We hope the chai- lenge and invitation will be accepted. People Have Plain Choice ta Use Science for War or Peace Tvo very significant statements vere made at the -Bevmenville Rotary Club recexitiy which plalnly underscore the tact that people ta- day have a plain choice between perrnitting science te ho expleited fer destruction li ver or construction in the ways ef peace. The speak- er, Rev. R. J. Xlrkland et Coiberne, an cmi- cnt British chomical scientist lI World War I, before ha turxied ta thc minlstry, spoko with kuthority vben ho said: "A smail corps ot British scientists durlng world War I, actually discoered a ges, wblch if avez employed, would make the atomn bornb obaclete as an agency et destruction and ho agraedý that Dr. Chishelrn vas net vide et the truth in stating- that bacterialogical warfare ceuld be employed fer more widely and Juat as devastatingly in blottlng eut human lite. These arc weaponsinlxithe handa cf science today." But Mr. Kirkland made an oqually revoal- ing atatement vben ha said thet the land about Hiroshima where the first atom bomb fell, was nov fouxxd to be capable et an agriculturai pro. duction 300 per cent greater than betore. That la te say there are chemical elements I fission- able meterial that can soe exrich lanid that pro- ductien viii sustain even a vastly greater, verd population. lI these forthright statements which appear te ha facto well established ameng scientists, may be seen very cieeriy the twa patha apen betere the people ôt the world toay.

Se says the External Attairs De- partment li its report on coxitederafion discus- sien. As it stands, the B.C.N. is a vest-pocket edi- tion et C.B.C. It ewns and eperates tbree eut et the tour stations in Newfoundlaxxd; and sub- scribes ta the C.B.C. fheory that commercial broadcasting revenues are legitimate gevern- ment ibusiness. The sole privafe station Is con- tined ta the local business et St. Johns merch- ants, leaving national acceunts te the B.C.N. And se it is that contederatioxi, narrowed ta the tield et radie broadcastixig, would be a love match for the C.B.C. No shotguns, in the torm ot expropriations or fhreaf s to withhold licens- es, wouid be necessary. The Canadien govern- ment radie could go ahead with ail kinds et plans for hig h-powered stations te brixig the voices ef C.B.C's legioxi et taikers to the utter- moit tip et Labrador. Ne more than anc guesa is nccessary as te the probable fate et thaeone private station, Yct even if the actuel taking-ovar would ho a painiess extension of C.B.C.'s monopoly, there remains the question et finances. Thera is ne resson ta believe that the baxikrupt C.B.C. could assume the cost et givlng network coverege ta Newfoundland without the camei's back going ixto an even deeper reverse hump. Such boing the case, Canadien radia listeners could pre- pare for anather passing et the bat. Explanaion Waiilsd The public reaction te the general removal of prIce.central has been, as was ta be' expected, one chiefly cf grumbllxlg about prices which rise. Probably smre price rises areé produce d by deliberate attempts te profiteer. Probably few of thae attempts are made by big business, ince big bu 'siness bas te keep books which are, for ail practical purposes, open te the public, an~d big business la well aware that excessive profits luit now would lead to bigber wage de- manda, or public agitation for either price con- traI, or evere taxation et profits. XI the case of price increases of a prafiteering ort made by individual' traders or small busi- ness, at is pretty bard te get facts. It la net llkely that this sort et thing wilU do xnuch dam- age te the, price structure, since campetitien will sean cure it. The bad feature la that the public have net really been told why the Government fauid it necessary ta remove contrais. There bas beexi a statement or two tram Ottawa that it vas re- aiized4 that contrais ultimately had te be remav- ed that price contrai, couid net go on without wage contrai, and that price contrai was aperat- ing as a definite limit ta the recovery et produc- tion. Prebably alltbese statements are absolut- ely right. That will net mean that they will convince the public unleas the public hears them. When the Government adopted price con- trol, there was a tremendoug prapaganda put on te explain why this had ta ho done. Indeed, it now seema that this prepaganda was tee suc- ceasfully used, fer it took the form ot selling the public the idea that price contrai was in- tended te keep the cost et living dewn, which it was net. It was intended only to prevent an inflatianary panic, which la neot the same thing at ail as a rise et prices because cestsbave gene Up. Surely,' if it took ail that effort te seil the people et Canada price contrai, there s9hould be smre effort given te selling them decontrol, which is bound te create an increase in the cost ef living. It is known that the Government has ne in- tention whatever et putting price central back on, but surely, li its owxx interest, and in the ir.terest et the nation, the Governmenet should go te work new ta convînce the public that the decision te decontrai prices was a wise ane. wiil likely vlew aIl these distinctions as sec- ondary ta the genuine esteem of the people, the reai down-to-earth people who hope sincerely for the full reeevery et bis heaith Is This a Promise? ln 'a recent broadcast the Minuster of Fln- arce, Hon. D. C. Abbott, explained why the Can- adian Government had decided te cut eut price contrai. It abeuld nçed ne explanation. Pries contrai was adopted during the war as a war mneasure. It is, as Mr. Abbott aya, net even constitutional for the Dominion Gevernment te eïxtorce this sert et regimentatien in time cf peace. Mr. Abbott poixted eut that, as a direct re- suit ot aboiishing price control, thore la a snv- ing of hundreda et millions dollars a year li subsidies.
