W. JAMES, Edtor The Provincial Election As Viewed by The Statesman The content called for lune 7, ta el.ct ai new l.egialature for the Province of Ontario will en- ,gage the attention of the press and people toaa considercible extent during the next month. The .ýtatesrnan will take its place in presenting as 'ýul1y as possible the main issues as they corne fInto view on the pcrty level and equally the bnain points çi interest as they ocur in the con- ,test in Durham County. In any election this paper views its responsibility as one that will 'give readers as broad an understanding as pos- sible af the facts in the case. If it cornes ta ,»tating editorial opinion, that will be given completely aside iromn factual reporting ai al 'rneetings or statements oi candidates. *Sa far as the election ai lune 7 is concerned ~it cornes irnmediately after a long session of the ..House and ail the facts oi debate and mearsures .passed are in copies now an file in the office of The Statesman, which have been thoroughly ýýead. We feel that the public has been pretty well informed in the daily press and by frequent :radio talks cf what has transpired in the recent session of the Legislature. It can be talcen for *granted, therefore, that votera already have came ta some decision as ta how they will vote. But stîll the weekiy press particularly will be cçalled upon ta carry as much news as possible .on the contest. With alI the material ai the Provincial Han- zard at hand, The Statesman believes that quat- ,ng directly irorn the record. what was said, haw inrembers voted, what measures were approved, 1will give the best rounded picture aifany diii er- ences between the contending parties. We shal try ta carry this idea aut In the comning weeks. ,Sa far as the local candidates are concerned we Éhaîl treat ail alike in publishinq their personai atonies and what they have to say in behali of their parties. We ahaîl probably state edîtor- 1ally, a balanced opinion on haw eifectiveiy the present gavernmnent hua served the people and whether a change wauld be in the general in- terest. W. trust this will b. conceded a ifair way for the local press ta take in serving !ts broad readership. What Makes Community Spirit Men ai high character louve a tamp an their country for generatians. It aiten issues in a eemingly unaccauntable senne ai local pride and cammunity spirit.

Plans caîl for $13 million for new building accommodation and ta maintain high teaching standards. But the general public is asked for les, than hall this ainaunt, namely $6 million, amnce the Provincial Governent han pledged $7 million. It t, Up ta the presai Ontario ta inforrn the people ai this unpending drive and ta support it iully. Lot un look at nmornfa the reasons. Since war clased, onrolîment in the Univers- ity ha, risen ta 17,000,, with oven haui ropresent- ed by youth discharged f;om the armed services. Facilities have been s0 avertaxed that Ajax was taken over as auxiliary accommodation. Library facilities and staff have camne ta the point that many students are handicapped in gettung the full benefits needod toward their graduation. The funds asked bar are planned deiinitely ta aven- corne this situation. People genenally will e the pressing necessity for the University to aven- carne ail these disabilities. Neyer in Canadian histary has it been more urgent ta accommodate young Canadians in securing tho highest standards ai technical cdu- cation than now. For it is agreqd that the years ahead must be devotod ta a great expansion ai the resources ai this immense land. Develop- mient can be gneatiy acceloratod by trained per- sonnel. Therefore this appeau ai the University ai Toronto must be supponted. It cannat be Ici t ta the alumni which will be the first ta respond. It in up ta parents and the public generally ta assiat in the task ai pnoviding the funds ta niake passible the training ai a great army ai young Canadians un the paths ai peace and progress. The appeal is a clear caîl to meet a pressing public responsibility. Industrial Leader Warns Management ta Wake Up Coilier's, May 1, carnies a ieading editorial on the recent ad dress by the President ai Gen- eral Foods Corporation in which business leaders were warned ta wake up and tell their stary ta empioyees and the public. It is sa much in lino with The Statesman's long editorial campaign that "Industry Has a Story ta Tell" that we are pioased ta reprint cxtracts irom Collier's which aven that the General Foods presîdent "said a mouthful." Questioning how well managem nt has per- formed its job in telling its story, tIe speaker boit that it had not been sa good. Ho cstimated 35 million people in the U.S.A. are stili uncon- vinced ai the prafit-and-loss, free enterpnise sys- tom; aiso that only one warker in five gets amy information about profits, wages and the inon- cial condition ai the business. When management does make an effort ta talk things aven frankly and regulanly with its ernployees there is to aten a tendency ta use technical jargon which is bound ta go aven xnany empîcyces heads. The speaker said: "We are neither noblemen non -frack-coated fat cats. We are just human beings, with wor- ries and problems like othèr human beungs. We make mistakes but aur intentions toward other people are generciuly good." And he emphosiz- ed. "Management has leit open a wide hale thraugh which adversaries are diving hall tnuths and ialsehoods." Collier's sums up: "It seems ta us that this job ai explaining itself ta warkers and public -is about as important a job as management laces nowadays. If workers don't understand the systern which produces their pay envelopes, and why it is the most fruitful ecanomic system yet devised in the world, con anyone justly blame some ai them if they flu for the hogwash ai domagogues and doctrinaires? We can't: And we think. that a good portion ai the blame con be charged ta managements which dan't do an effective job ai explaining what makes the econ- omic and industrial wheels turn." How Comm unists ýOperate Is Describeci in Chamber Bookiet A new boakiet desig-ned ta hclp Canadians detect Communists and recagnize their lactics. ha& just been issued by the Canadian Chamber ai Commerce. The boakiet entitied "How Cam- munists Operate" is a fallaw-up ta "The Com. munist Threat ta Canada" issued at year, and ai which a quarter million copies have been dis- tributed. The 15oakiet is intended os an aid in recoq- nizing Communists when they are at wark en- deavoring ta acquire contrai ai labor unions and arganizations ostensibly devoted ta welfare causes. "Na part ai dlemocratic saciety is sale from Communist attacks," the booklet states. "A worker, o big business mon, a hausewife, con al be enanared whether thraugh a union, a "charit- able" iront arganization, or some iarm ai houso- wives' beague. Most citizens in a democracy are unable ta cape successfully with Communisrn because in normal exponience nothing is encount- tered thot approaches it for audacity and unpnin- cipled ruthlessness." At its lait generai meeting. the Canadian Chamber ai Commerce recordod its vigorous opposition ta Communism, and pledged itueli ta ",continue ta expose the menace and ta develop o wider public appreciatian ai the danger it pro- senta." "How Communists Operate" was pro- pared ta implement this palicy. Because ane ai the finît Marxust dicta is the need ta gain active labor union support, part ai the new bookiet is devoted to a detailed exposition ai the procedure by which Comnmunisas ndeavor ta secure contrai ai lobor organîzations. -Vanious tricks and "tac- tical ehartcuts" which Communists, "unhamperod by normai conaideration ai ethics, morals, res- pect for religian, respect for law. etc.," employ ta gain their ends are exposed and cxplained. The Chamber's study suggcsts that the myth ai invincibility emplaycd so successfully by the Nazis for a numnber ai years la again being used as part of the Comninst psychological wariare and can ib. deleated anly by hard work. intelli- gence and persiatence. -Itas better ta tell your iiends how ta get on than where to get off. TIME FOR DECISION =Ji NEW SERIES, ARTICLE 30 This colurnn, Turne ion Decision, has naw run ta 65 short articles. The objective hou been ta try ta induce roaders ta toke a more active intereat ini the gavernxnent ai Canada: ta keep inionmed 1-etween elections on the leadership and policies ai the parties contendmng bar power. Oniy by keeping well inionmed can people decide for themsoives which party they should vote bar. Stampede decisions an the eve ai an eloction isnflot gaod enough ion these tinies. LOGICAL SUCCESSOR Previaus articles have maintained the gèneral public agreement that eithcr the Libenals or lhe Progressive Cansenv- atives will form the ncxt government at Ottawa. Therefore, tii column has saught ta *bring out nmre points ai componison be- tween the twa as ta policies but mare porticularly as ta leadership now that an election is in the off ing. With Prime Minister Ring soon to retire, it is argued that John Bracken should succeed him as Prime Minister. PARTY DISSENSION Tirne and again these articles have quoted the remrnaks ai leading Liberals who have dissented frorn many actions taken by their leader and the party. This dissension is continuing. It does nat make for good gavernment. Hence it is the part cf wis- dam ta make a change. Obviausly the public chaice should be a new leader with a revitalized national pnagram suited ta the traditional desires ai the people, a free, demacratic, way of lii e. This conclusion can scarcely be rejected. LIBERAL PREMIER SPEAKS Sa once again in examining the cancer ai John Bracken, national leader ai the Progressive Conservative Party, we' present ai iew opinions ai his successor as Premier ai Manitoba, Hon. Stuart Garson, p Liberal and a firm admirer ai Prime Minister King wha in soori retiring. Mr. Garson, former member ai Brack- en's Manitoba Cabinet, bell heir ta Bracken's government which had continued undefeated for almost 21 years. EXPER IENCED JUDGMENT Speaking at McMaster University last bail, Premier Gar- son dwelt upon the question ai leadership. He said: "No other contribution ai any democratic political party can be greater than the creatian ai great leaders. Our proLlems cannot be solvcd by uniniormed aratory. It is exact knowledge. clear thought and experienced judgment which alone wiIl survive." And ho went on: QUARTER CENTURY REGIME "The governrnent I have the honor ta head has been in power in Manitoba for more than a quarter century." (That is the Bracken governiment handed ta Premier Garson). "One ai the reasons for its longevity is that during that time it was sa preoccupied with forming its own policies, justiiying them ta the people, carrying on its own work, that it gave a minimum ai ad- vertisement Io its appanents by criticizing or deriding them." FIRST THINGS FIRST Premier Garson emphasized: "Certainli we in Manitoba have fou.ud in practice that it pays ta put first things iirst and to talk about our awn program." These opinions while nat express- * ed ta promote Bracken's leadership, mont certainly declane how well he managed the aff airs ai Manitoba for so long and rase to an eminence in leadership. This Liberal declaratian which ne- dounds ta the high credit ai Mr. Bracken, whether intended or not, ought ta weigh very importantly when votes are cast in the com- ing election.

Chalmers. president, Periodical Press Association, in a recent Toronto address. Mr. Chai- mers pointed out that the moder- ate increase in advertising rates in recent years has not been near- ly sufficient f0 absorb extra costs. He argued that more flexible ad- vertising budgets were necessary sa that publishers would be able ta adjust rates ta rising costs "as quickiy as in any ather business." The speaker estimated that the cast of turning out a publication has doubied since before the \var and cited these specific increases since 1940 for one large pubishn company: Paper ---- ---------- 7617 Pressroom ----- ------- 93%7 Bindery ------ - 108% Composition - ------110 %1 Mailing -- -- -140%1, Practically ex'erything the pub- lisher must purchase is subject to price increase on short notice, Mr. Chalmers stated. By the time he gets delivery on a press the price may have advanced frorn ten ta 25 per cent and this increase, un- der the original contract, mnusti be paid. In less than two years there have been six increases in paper prices. Engravin.g costs. wages and salaries have movcd up steadily.
