TEE ANADA~< TATSMAN BOWAIIILLE ONTRIOTHUIPMAY, DECEMBER 4, 1947- PrIvate Eusrvls. Duels of D.uocaY .In these days of distorted think- i'ig and wlshfui thlnking we can think of nothing better than ta de- part a littie trom the usual week- tbill of tare ta reprint Just. two Ïhort items which appeal to us as clear thinking to stralghten eout some confused thinking. The f irst is from the editoriai page of a current issue of Kiwanla magazine and is entitled, 'Private Enter- prise." Here it is: Jae was out af a job, but un- dismayed. He bought a bucket, a brush and a squeegee and.went down Main street asking for win- dows to wash. He washed them well; he was courteous and he was dependable. In a few weeka ho had to hire an assistant. To- day he has 50 men working for him and is making twenty thous- and a year. Is that too much? Should the gavernment corne ini and regulate hs business? Bob was an assistant to a man who dug wells. He thought up an improvement for a pump.

It 'was a good improve- ment, he built a plant and began making pumpa. That shop new employs a hundred people and he is making maney hand over flst. Ia lie making, toc> mucli? Should the government came lu and reg- ulate his earnings? Harry started a small gocery store in a littie town. The tawn grew and he was courteous ta his customors and careful cf his ser- vice, se his grocery store grew with the town and he opened a second store in the other end ai town. Because lie kept prices down and quality and service up, lie soon monopalized the grocery business af that town and became a wealthy man. Did he deserve his success? Should the govern- ment regulate sueli a business and limit the profits? These three incidents could bo multiplied by thousands in the United States and Canada. They are simple examples of the pri- vate enterprise which has made aur couritries prosperous and on- abied us ta establiali a standard oi living the likeofa which the world lias neyer knbwn. Private enterprise is t#e very basis ai demacracy. Business con- ducted by the stato us the very foundation of socialism. For whom do we want to work? Are we sat- isfied ta have our best efforts tass- ed inta the great jackpot of the state ta which the ne-e-do-wolls contribute littie or nothing, yet in which they share equally? Private enterprise is the key stane ai the prosperity af aur two countries, The tact that aur suc- cess is limited only by aur awn ablity and energy is what makes this continent the finest, place in the world in which to live. The second article is tram The Scene, edited at Bracebridge, Ont. by John Atkins. This one is on- titled, "You did it in war-yau can't do it in peace." When iacts fail and logic de- serts them, those who believe that governments can salve ail econ- omic prablems taîl back an. "you did it in peace." They accuse de- mocratic goivernments ai serving the interests oi "capitaiists" at the expense ai the "people." Who are the capitalists and who are the people is nover claiified.

See Sale column for particulars. everyone is a capitalist, definitions spoil the assertion. It is clear that what "you" did in war, you can't do in peace. "You'" can't compel people to work at assigned tasks, at fixed wages, in specified locations, for stated hours. "You" cannot force one million af Ca'nada's fittest young people to give up their tmee- dom and to abandon every persan- ai intemest to serve any national peacetîme purpose. "You" cannot impose the sacrifices of energy, time and money which millions made gladly to save a free Canada. "You" cannot control wages, prices, production and marketing in a domocracy for an extended, period, evcept for detence pur- poses. "You" cannot do it lie- cause people will not toierate It. "You" cannat carry on a democra- tic government for any mai ority which does flot preserve the rights af minorities. When mai arities deny the rights cf minorities, de- mocracy died and totalitamîanism supplants it. "You'" did it in war but yau cannot do it in peace lie- cause Canadians won't stand for it; and the people who are de- manding "it" would be the tirst ta rebel if 'lit" inciuded the price of their services. -- -. -.-.--p.-- ~ '7 ai ihe "TOT" TOGGERY "Tot"Toggery' MES.
