Editor Need for New School Urgedl By Boardi of Education - There is no question about the intention ai the newly constiluted Board ai Education to take every means ai pressing for the construction of a new Scuth Ward Public Sebool Ibis yeor. Plans have been braught ta a point wbere every dletail bas Seen tborougbly thought out and il remains qnhy tl a scure the necessary authamity ta go ,.theard and the motter ai securing priarity for imoterials. The wbole situation wos very cleorly kexplained ta the Board by the chairman ai the building commitîce W. L. Paterson wbo bas wor::-ed for the pat wa years on t5e project witb his colleogues. There are three main considemations ta which public attention bas been directed. First there s the demonstrable fact thot there iq over- crowding in the Public Schools todoy. Second, the birth rote has inceased cansidarably' in the pasl year. Third, there bave be2n o large num- ber ai new homes conslmucted in the Sauth Word lncluding a whole sîreet oi new dwellings in a rew subdivision. Finally, provision bas been mode for a modemn kindergarten in the new building. t la urged tbot only immediate con- struction will relieve the situation. Many rotepayers wîll question tbe advisa- bility ai proceeding with construction in face ai present building costa. But the fadas set forth above cannat Se escaped.

XItromains te bu meen wbat wlfl b. doue in the matter. Trying ta Prevent Farmers Getting Higher Prices For Produce Mr. Coldwell spends a lot of itme arguing that t.he reason for high prices is bîgh profils. not high wages. The Bank ai Canada shows that the profits of 689 corporations in Canada were, in 1946, 48 million dollars mare than they were in 1939. Wages, fortunaxîely, were billions af dol- lars more ini 1946 than in 1939. It must be quite evident that Mr. Caldwell is simply talking non- sense. However, Mr. Coldwell is creating a great deal of bitterness against present prices, which means that he must intend ta do something about bringing themn down. Everyone knows that all the protest that is being made about prices la centred on the price of food. People are flot kicklng about the price of motor cars, even if the government bas put 25% excise tax on them. Tbey do not kick about the price ai rents, because rents have nat been allowed ta rise appreciably. The public protest is about the increased price ai food, as every- one will admit. That means that Mr. Coldwell is imply trying ta â9tir up the Canadian worker against the Canadian former. There can be no other purpose in all bis talk. Mr. Coldwell knows that, in cannection with focd, the increase in prices. which bas occurred bas been practically nat ai ahl in profit. ht bas been ta a somewhat greater extent in the wages ai the city warkers wba bondie the food. It bas been cbiefly in the additianal price wbicb hbas gane ta the former, and which few Cana- dians really resent, when thev remember the distressed condition ai agriculture before tbe wvar, and the seriaus ef-iect ai that on the pros. perity ai all Canadians. However, Mr. Coldwell bas ta bave a story, and Ibis is bis stary. He wants ta see that the Jformer does not get increased prices for bis pro- duct. Mr. Coldwell tolks about subsidies. On that point be could have given a lot ai informa. tion fromn Britain where the gavernment is now wondering hov; on eorth ta gel out ai the -sys- tem aofi rying ta keep vrinces seeming ta be law by paying liuge sulbsidies on tbem. The effect is merely, ai course: ta a-dd inflationary pressure. it la just as well ta gelthie picture clear. Wbat Mr. Coldwell is trying ta do is ta stir up urban workers in Canada ta demond that the farmer take less for bis product. Cobourg Mayor Tells Plans For Municipal Rink Elecled Mayor ai Cobourg on a platform which endorsed the construction ai a municipaol rink and recreotion centre, Mayor Joseph S. Smith and council bave a mandate ta proceed wiîb construction. Discussing the malter the Mayor sîated the following objectives ai the un- dertaking:' A modemn recreotional building witb arlifi- cial ice facilities bas the sole purpose ai pro- viding a centre devated ta recrectional ond cul- tural entertainment lhrougbout the entire year. The suggested plan ai aperation je: (1) Five montbs ai winter sports sucb as hockey, skating, curling witb prabably instruc- tion in figure skating. ahl revenue prajects. (2) Seven months ai the year for recreation such as dancing, roller skating. indoar sports, boxing, wrestling, basketball, etc.. also revenue producing. (3) Cuturolhy the building will offer oppor- tunity for concerts, bath vocal and instrumental, conventions, meetings and a rahhying place foi things ai camman interest la the cammunily. olso with nominal revenue. The plan ai operotian wauld Se under a Board ai Directors representative of the coin- munity with complete authorily as ta manage- ment and employmenî and with a manager es- ponsible la the Board. % Since Bowmonvilhe bas had a similar pro- ject in view for a long time il wauld appear that mucb vahuoble information migbt Se obtained in the iollowing plans set in motion in the tawn of Cobourg. Let Them Eat Turnips Says Austerity Minister Abbott Down in Washington hast week ta pick up three hundred millions ai borrowed money for the extravagant bousekeeping puri aDses ai the gavernment, Finance Minister Abboît was in- terviewed by the press ini an attempt ta gel his latest opinion an the austenity programme ho foisted upon Conadians without parliamentary crutbority ast November. Part ai that programme was tbe prohibition on fresh vegetables enter- ing Canada from the U.S.A. The interview found Mr. ASSott much less sure about the whole thing which bas oleady been altered consider- ably. Apparently as naive as Marie Antoinette wbo said, "let îhem eat cake" when a bread- hungry mob stormed the palace, Mr. ASSot's suggestion was "let them eat turnips" as a sub- stitute for fresh vegetables U.S.A. growers were waiting la ship int Canada. At the moment im- ported cabbage was listed at 5c per IL whihe Canadian cabbage was selling at some pointe as higb as a dollar a bead and iresh hettuce was reported roîîing in Buffalo awaiting the Min- isters decision on lifting the embargo. Parents deplored this suggestion ai depriving Caâýadian children of green vegetables. But Mr. ASSoIt added inflatianary comment by saying iurther thot il wouldn't hurt Canadians ta eat canned vegetobles as another substitut.. This invitation nay quite conceivably brlng on ci rush af Suying and hoording which in turn will akyrocket prices of canned goods as sharply as vegetable and meat producîs. He also indi- cat.d that any changes that may Se mode will not affect the decision ta continue the 25 per cent excise tax thcuî accompanied bis austenity programme. In view ai bis press release Mr. Abbott may find a lot ai vegetables, includlnq turnipa, burled in bis direction in the next elec- tion.i TIME FOR DECISION NEW SERIES, ARTICLE 14 The preceding article in this seriez quoted the views of Senator Arthur Roebuck, a staunch, lifelong Liberal wha warned his great friend Mackenzie King and'the Ottawa Liberal hierarchy ta discard their policies of "bullying trade, stranglinq the national economny and continuing a grievously heavy tax burden which in leading inevitably ta a completely controlled economy." EX.MJNISTERS PROTES T As former articles have shown, mucli af the aharpest criticism levelled at the Liberal government bas corne from such great LiberaIs as Hon. P. 1. A. Cardin. Hon. 1. L. Raîston, Hon. C. G. Power and Hon. Angus Macdonald, ail of whom resigned f rom the cabinet af Prime Minister King in protest over wavering and uncertain policies in which they refused ta share. Sanie have been extremely bitter in their condemnation. A UTHORITATIVE EVIDENCE Hence this column' has employed evidence from some of the most competent and highly informed members of the inner circle of the Liberal Party ta show that the course af the govern- ment bas been greatly off the bearn In many directions in con- ducting the affaira of the country. Even the most confirmed Lib- eral partisan cannot escape the logic of great Liberals named above. They have indicated clearly that we have reached a Time for Decision. OUTRIGHT SOCIALISM The tenor of opinion among these former LiberaI Min- Isters il that the leadership of Mr. King in, recent years bas sold Liberalism down the river in favor of outright Soçialism which is filching freedom from Canadians and creating chaos among primary producers. Senator Roebuck was particular1y bitter about closinq the border against admission of our producta ta the U.S.A. INCENTIVE DESTROYED Imposing controîr on Canadian farmers in true Socialist tradition, Mr. King and bis Ministers have destroyed incentive to an alarming degree. Production figures tell the stary. From a bigh af over 700 million pounds of export bacon, the British con- trac1 f el ta 350 millions in 1947 and it was short of fulfilment by 100 million pounds. This is a serious state of affaira. CONTRACTS AND PRiCES The revised bacon contract for 1948 is down ta a low figure af 195 million pounds. The cheese contract for 1947 was 125 million pounds and wos less than hall lilled. The new 1948 cantract is set at only 50 million pounds.' Today, Canadian wheat, the best in the world, is sold under government monopoly ta Bni- itain at S1.55 while the British farmer gels 52.33 and Britain pays Australia $2.72 and.Argentine $3.60 per bu. for inferior wbeat. THEY ENDORSE BRACKEN This sort of thing is part of thtc general setup against which former Liberal Ministers register disapproval. Théy have been stating precisely the views of Jolin Bracken since he became leader ai the Progressive Conservative Party in 1942. The logic of the thing in that these Liberai stalwarts indicate ta the people that the Bracken policies should receive the support af the elec- torate at the comning electian. We shall see what tbey are. In the Dim and Distant Pas! From The Statesman Files TIVENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Jailuary 11, 1923 Tcinperiice afficers are M. Mun- day, C. Worden, W. C.
