New Lif e Insurance Month of March iOver 100 Million New life insurance protection put in force by Canadians during the month of Marcb exceeded $100,00,000, it is announced by the Canadian Life Insurance Of- ficers' Association. The figures, supplied by com- panies doing more thon 98 per cent o! the business in Canada, .were compiled by the Life Insur- ance Agency Management Asso- ciation, and covemed ordinary life insurance protection oniy. During the month o! March al- so new industrial life protection totaîled $14,784,000 and group life protection $7,019.000.. The figures for odinary life protection by provinces are.

Ag- riculture bas gone on record as opposing the recentiy announced increase of 21 % in Canadian rail freight rates, and bas sa indicoted in a letter to the Prime Minister at Ottawa. The Federation pre- sented a substantial brief last summer ta the transport board during its hearing a! the applica- tion of the railway companies for an increase of 30%. of<> a series of advertisemmts in tribute bt those Canadiens in the service of the public (1)-Direct factary labor 20.2c 22. (2)-Raw matenials 55.2e 54. (3)-Ail other costs in- ciuding profits 24.6c 23. .4c .2c Total 100.0 100.0 In 1926 production per worker amounted ta $5,545, by 1945 this bod risen ta $7,370. In 1926 the average worker received as bis pay a sum equivalent ta 20.2 % o! the product produced-a yearîy income of $1,120. By 1945 the wnrkem received 22.4%, equiva- lent to $1,651 per worker, an in- crease of $531 over the 1926 1ev- el. * Where did the increase come !rom? The rate of pay was high- er. He received 22.4 % o! the product praduced in 1945 but on- ly 20.2 % in 1926-this represent- ed a gain o! $162 per worker per yeam. There xvas more production in 1945, $1,825 more. Even if the percentage of the product going to labor had been exactiy the same the increase in productio'n would have odded $369 to the pay of each worker. The gain whicb arase fmom the higher rate came out o! the raw material producer or out of over- head, or, in the alternative, from an increase in price which would affect the cost of living of every Canadian citizen. The gains omis- ing from increased production tend to lower prices o! commo- dities, thus increasing total pur- chasing power. What is the meaning o! aIl this? Not through wage rate increases but thmough increased production camnes prosperity to the workers, ta the nation. Higher production means higher incarnes, greater stability o! earnings. Why then aIl these strikes. the constant bat- tle for the unattainable. They represent the struggle over the division of the income, an indi!- femence to the total. Real pros- perity cornes from a broadening vision wbich mnakes us see life whole-rather thon in single seg- mnents. *Average earnings per Workem Includes aIl those emnPloyed, wbetber on salaries or wages.

J. Deachman> Labor wantsto earn more mon- ey. There is only one way to at- tain its objective, it must produce more. There are two ways of increas- ing production, by the use of bet- ter machines, by working more efficiently. This does flot; neces- sari]y imply longer hours-hard- er work. There's a knack in good work, it's an acquired faculty for d'oing things adroitly. WVhat percentage does the work- er in Canadian industry receive out of the product pmoduced? The direct answem is very simple, but we are here dealing only with conversion costs, the costs o! con- verting raw and semi-raw ma- teniais into the finished products. Keeping these facts in mind we rnay now examine the distribu- tion of the manufacturer's dollar, first over a period of years then with separate years so that we may see the picture as a wbole. Take first the twenty year per- iod from 1926 to 1945 inclusive.- it covered a period of peace and prosperlty, a depression and a war. We are not likely to find a more dynamic eéra in Canadian history. The Distribution of the Dollar (1)-Direct factory labor 21.3c (2)-Raw Materials 52.7c (3)-Aillother costs includ- ing profits 26.Oc Total 100.0 What happened in 1944, the peak year o! war production? The division was as follows: (1)-Direct factory labor 2 2.4c (2)-Raw Materials 53.3c (3)-AIl other costs includ- ing profits 24.3c Total 100.0 We may now view the scene in a depression year. As every person knows 1932 was a pretty flat year. The distribution of the manufacturer's dollar was then as follows: (1)-Direct factory labor 23.9c (2)-Raw matemials 48.2c (3)-AIl other costs includ- ing profits 27.9e Total 100.0 Does it surprise you that labor gets a larger percentage of every dollar of product produced çlur- ing a depression year? It's quite1 'iatural, wage rates go up in good times-so do prices. When hard times corne prices faîl but wages remain up, at least for a time, hence labor gets an încmeased per- centage of the product produced -but the total product is smaller -there are no real gains for labor n a depression . What about cap- taI? In a depression, overhead constitutes a larger total percent- age of costs-that's natural, ov- erhead is then spread over a smaller volume. There's always an explanation of these variations f, wîthout prejudice, we search he facts. Perhaps these companisons have gone far enough but let us put two years, an average year and as boom year, side by side wbere wer an compare them more readiiv: A u w il Don't let spring fever be fatal! uccidents have a woy of cotching ip with drivers and pedestrians vho let springtime be-come a men- THE FINESI CAR IN THE LOW-PRICE FIELD( ing and apron sale and aftemnoon k ' ,~- o o. tea enabling the Association to we learn 10% by hering, 90% bY mke a donation of $61 te the seeing.

A PARABLE ON CO- OPERATION A salesman died, and, as the parable goes, went to heaven. There be faund ail former sales- men sepemated into two graups- the failures lodged in one palace, the successes in another. He watched the failumes, a thin, hungry-iooking mab. while the waiters came in te serve dinner. A waiter went down one side o! a table and up the other laying out great platters of deîicious food but, stmangely enough, be was pre- ceded by another waiter who a!- fixed to each diner's amm a long iron spoon. This spoon rendered the arm absoluetly rigid, so that it couîd flot be bent at the elbow. As a result the men could not eat. The new arrivai then went in- to the palace o! successes, which turned out to be the dwelling- place o! a multitude o! genial, well-fed, bappy gentlemen. Then he witnessed the same procedure he bad seen in the Palace o! Foul- umes. But bere the long spoon rigidly fixed to the omm o! eacb diner pmoved to be no impediment1 whatever. Each man dipped his spoon into the food and fed the mnan seated next to him! iý c f i t t t p v h h u r d v si n TRE CAlqADL41q STATMUAV #%Wfflalmvo% 1 Alan À. Martin it Look COURTICE a a a ONTARIO
