Indutstrial and agricultural pro- duction ta meet war's needs wcrc dcscribed as miracles o! achieve- ment. This great national effort brougbt empioyment ta the great- est number in the bistary o! Can- ada and this taa has been main- tained gcneraly through recon- version into the greatest peace- time industrial production on re- cord. Domestie Effects To illustrate the extent o! post war expansion the speaker quot- ed figures which discloscd the net national incarne for 1947 at $10.7 billion, an increase over the pre- viaus year. Wages paid during and after the war together witb incarnes saved by farmers and other producers rollcd up a back- log of more than $5 billions o! purcbasing power, another record for the Dominion. Competition for consumer gaods, therefore, contributed ta the tide o! indus- trial production that flows s0 frecly today. But it is in the wider field o! expart trade that an observer of trends may calculate the prospects o! the future expansion or sta- bility o! Canadian production. It is largely dependence- on fareign markets that conditions the de- grec o! employmcnt and prasper- ity for Canadians. One immedi- ate poblem w-as ta scek every means o! securing an outiet for~ the surplus production o! the na- tion. The speaker told something o! the success o! the Canadian trade delegation, o! whicb be vas a member. that visited South Af- rica and Europe last faîl. Trade Stability At the same time industry il ca-nperating with government in studying problems in farcign fields wiscly ta determine w'hicb elements o! Canadian production will be bcst calculatcd ta aid wonld recovcry and continue into a steady flow o! trade in a stabil- ized world. Thus the question is one a! bath short-term and long- term policy.

Details as ta sizes, etc. may be abtained fram Recreational Direc- tor Bart Smithson or from Mr. M. Slute at the Public School. He described the curnent dollar crisis and its effect on the short- term paiicy. In prajecting a view of what industry bas dane toward meet- ing damestic and world require- ments, the speaker recapitulated statements made in the House of Commons by Han. C. D. Howe, Minister of Trade and Commerce. He told that industry had invest- ed aven anc billion, eight hundred million dollars in plants and equipment in 1947 and that plans for 1948 inciuded even a greater expenditure which would be re- stricted only by recent measures ta conserve dollar exchange. These huga investments expressed the faith of business leaders in Canada's destiny and were the main factors in cantinuing cm- ployment at its present high level. Negative Factors The speaker then turned ta cansideration of the negative fac- tors in this optimistic picture. These embraced the continucd distress among needful fmee pea- pies stmuggling for recovcry amid- st a new turmoil of economic and political distractions arising fmom, canflicting ideologies. Sa far asi Canada is conccmned the share ad- vanced by hem for general world relief has excecded in propomtion, that of any other nation. But it is evident now that the chie! hope, of combatting a newr totalitarian aggression is what is known as the Marshall plan. This European Recavery Plan is based almost wholly upon the resources of America. Its success will determine one of the grav- est issues ever faced by free pea- ples and wiil have a direct bear- ing on the Canadian economy. Canada will not only contnibute ta its establishment but will ben- efit indirect]y from its applica- tion. The present dollar short- age will be elieved by expendi- turcs of E.R.P. funds for vast nuantities of Canadian produc- tion. Free Enterprise With this general summation o! the Canadian setup as the world enters a new era, the speaker turned ta an emphatic outline o! the contribution of free entemprise ta the modemn world. He de-, clared that the incentive of free men under this free systemn had produced the highest standard of: living i n human affairs. Oppos-li ing this systcm now were the ideologies of cammunism and regimes that can operate only un- der decrees o! state oligarchies SWING imb SPRING WITH L SHEPPARD & GILL Lumber Co.

It mhans that science has found a wav ta correct inborn de- fects and strengthen human vi- sion. Jungle eyes apparently need glasses for the same reason that ours do. Crude subjective tests found some eyes approximatel 'v normnz.1 and the use of the retenoscope and modern light ray mnethods oi examination were necessary ow- ing ta low intelligence of the pa- tient. One eye indicated a dlean case of long standing lenticular apac- ities, no doubt a traumatic case as this warrior had been injured in the head in battle. Our as- sumpt ion wvas that although these natives mature in early life and at thirty -five are as 'old' as an Amn- crican at fifty-five, their powcrs of accommodation did faîl with their loivered vrlix.(This was pure conjecture, for although the men claimed they could see verY small type exceedingly close for their African .

Y (To be Continued) 1 which destroy freedomn under a police system. This menace was a condition ta examine in cal- culating Canada's prospects for continued prasperity. Challenge Today Concluding his great message, which is paraphrased rather than reparted in actual terms, Mr. Ber- kinshaw issued a challenge ta Canadians ta be watchful of in- sidious infiltrations of forces seeking the dstruction of aur freedom and wark positively ta support the oniy system under which we may enjay an even greater standard o! living. Our supreme task at this hour. he aàf- firmed, was ta bend every effort ta make the worid a ýetter, hap- pier, safer place in which ta live and work. Ex-warden Milton Elliott mov- ed the vote a! thanks ta Mr. Ber- kinshaw which won pralonged applause. Community singing was led by Wilf Carruthers with W. E. C. Warkman at the piano. Hong Kong Survivors Treated Shamnefully The Canadian public may find same grounds for being charit- able ta Prime Minister King in his personal fight ta withhold cer- tain facts surraunding the dis- patch of a Canadian farce ta Hong Kong. This force, declaned by the British commander in that area, ta be generally untrained and ill-equipped, was overwhelm- ed by the Japs ta the last man. Those flot slaughtered were im- prisoned under horrible condi- tions. The survivors came home after victory was won. The wi- dows and orphans of the dead have ta subsist on pensions less than sufficient for a decent stand- ard of living. This is the bare story of a Canadian military fia- sco. But the Canadian public can' find no grounds for chanity ta the government in its trcatmcnt of the survivors and the widaws and orphans. Hiere is the bare stomy in this case. Questioned by Gen- oral Pearkes, V.C., M.P., in the House of Commons, February 18, the Defence Ministry replied: "Approximately 3 2 5 officers and 1,300 other ranks trained in the U.S.A. for the Pacific thea- tre. They neyer left these shores and came home wvhcn the wý -r * over. The y were given Special Pacific Campaign V-ay w-hile in training." On the other hand: "Exactly 2ýl officers and 2,198 other ranks sent ta Hong Kong did not re- ccive and have not received anc dollar of the Special Pacific Cam- paign Pay." Explaining the matter the Min- ister, Hon. Brooke Claxton, took refuge under the technicality that they wA-ere not classed with the Canadian Army Pacific Force and went on ta say: "They served under entirely different condi- gressive Conservative. interject- ed: '"Yes, under inhuman con- ditions." There the matter rests, at leasti until the Progressive Conserva- tives are voted inta power and this gnievous, callous, ill-treat- ment of war heoes and their de- pendents can be expunged from the record3, of Canadian history. In giving readers this informa- tion we have taken the record straight from Hansard as it may be read and interpreted fram the questions and answers. We have given the main conclusions in the! Hong Kong case and will lçt it rest at that for the time being. But this treatment o! the Hong Kong heroes will be brought up again in the general electian forý we believe the electorate will' wish ta register its repudiation a!, this national dishonor. Women's Instilute Kopper Karnival Successful Affair Bowmanville Women's Insti- tute sponsored a~ very successful Kopper Karnival in the Lions Community Centre on Thursday, March 11. This second annual carnival xvas very welI attended and many complimentary re- marks were heard on this popu- lar innovation which was first introduced in town by the Wo- men's Institute a year aga.
