Socialism Doesn'i Solve Our Problems he Socialisin bas its uncenfertable te moments. It hugs the dolusien Of that everything which now vexes e- the spirit cf man can ho remediod he by contrels. Controls have been te) tried and wbat have we? Much ýd trouble and vexation of spirit. Io The probions cf this world are or rarely settied in the light and fui- c-sene fashion our Socialist friends il imagine. îO There is a vociferous demand r- for a return cf price ceillngs, le without, cf course, any ceilings on wages. If there is difference st cf opinion between two points cf of view most people are quite wil- b- ling te settie it their way believ- st ing, dovouthy, that their wish is 'ýP the common wish of ail. [s* * Mr. Mesher, President o! the 'Ca-.adian Cengress o! Labor, an rtaffiliate o! the C.C.F. bas put bis kseai upon this peint cf viow. Me is aise President e! the Canadian iBrotherhood cf Railway Emphoy- ees. Wben the news came eut about the 21 % increase in freight hrates Mr. Mesher was rigbt on the job: "21 % was net enough the raiiways shouid have h a d more than 30% . . . How are the raihways going te pay tbeir on- ployees," ho asked, "if they are not granted the means by wbicb tbey p " * There we have it. A Socialist geverninent, if Mr. Mosher had his way wouhd have te increase raihway froight rates in arder te enabie it te raise wage rates. The next stop would be te bonus the railways in order te bide the cost in the tax rate. Under Socialisin you neyer loock orward nor back- ward. If you did eitber, common- sense, if it stili existed, wauld compel a modification e! the So- cialîst peint e! view. The Amerîcan Gevernm o n t took oer the raihways in the first Great War and raised .wages. Freight rates fellawod up. Thon in tino carne a depression, vol- urne cf traffic deciined, business felI cff. Railway wage rates wore at the topnost peak, real earnings cf railway workers roached new heights. Socialisin plans now te do the saine thing. It believes that there wiil be a depressien by and by but it wants to raise wages new se that when the deprossion cernes the wcrkers will gain sub- stantially frein the decline in the cost cf living and se escape tho burdens cf the dopression. It forgets that the bill wihl be paid by other workers in higher freight rates or by grants te meet railway deficits. The price o! our follies rnust always b. met. There were 187,000 workers on Cana- dian railways in 1929-121,006 in 1933. Costly wasn't it te these wbo sought jobs? Now ail these things are to be settled by Boards. It's quite im- possible. Politicians cannot de- termine prices, there is alway aa dispute between the buyer and the seller. Only the open inarket can render justice te al. The. market records the price as it is. If it is wrcng for a time it maves into lino with consunp- tive dernands but Boards and Go- verninonts must fix prices in ac- cord with wbat the sellers tbink they ought te got. The views cf powerful groups is net a]ways a safe guide on broad national is- sues. The right solution iç the one which functions in the gener- Courtice H. & S. Club Mrs. L. G. Courtice was elected President of Courtice Home and Sêhool Association held ini the Scheel last Wednesday. Mrs. J. H. Valleau, president of the Home and School Council, installed the new officers as follows: Vice presidents, Mrs. T. W. Gladman and Mrs. Gordon Chartran; sec- retary, Mrs. Clarence Hockin; treasurer, Mrs. Norman Hinds. Foilowing the installation, Mrs. Chartran presented Mrs. Vaileau with a gift on behaif of the mein- bers. Mrs. Courtice also present- ed Mrs. Hinds with atpei dent's pin. hapstrei .It was decided at the business session to give Mrs. Arthur Win- ter authority to purchase sports equmient for the school. The executive will undertake te ar- range for the refreshinents for the school's field day. Mrs. C. H. Fulton played the piano and sang a solo. Lunch was served by Mrs. 0. H. Hooey and Mr. and Mrs. Norman Hinds. The next meeting wiil be held on Tuesday, June 8. al rather than in the particular interest. But that's net all-we do net want one thing in Canada, we want two or more -but we don't want te pay for any cf them. There is wide spread indignation over the banning o! "oleo," even thcugh the farmer can't or wen't supply us with butter. There was a storin cf pretest in our cities when the Milk Board raised the retail price of mihk ta somotbing approaching haif the price o! beor. There are a good many people wha want te put the na- tion into a strait-jacket-their job being te tighten the strings. But that is net ahi, our farmers rosent the order forbidding thern te ship cattie te the profitable American market, Under Social- isin prices are te be fixed and reg- ulatod by Geverninent fiat and as one section cf the country wants prices reduced and the oth- er wants prices raised the Boards which fix prices wil l ot have their troubles te seok!

BlakeIey Goodyear Employee One Goodyear employee cer- tainly put his annual holiday to good use, for he flew home te England te visit his mother after a 22 year abspnce. He was Wil- liam Blakely cf Bowmanville, wbo knows bis way about with- out anyone trying te lead hlm and how to earn and invest bis money. The Statesman reporter met him on bis return and had a brie! talk on conditions over home. Bull teck the expensive but com- fortable route across and back ov- er the Atlantic in one cf the swift trans-ocean planes and says he wouldn't travel any other way. It was a grand reunion when he ar- rived at the home of bis mother in Manchester City. With his1 tino limited te 17 days he never- theless managed te get around and see conditions as they are today. People are working at wages considered very good, but restric- tions and ratiening leave quite a balance to spend on non-essen- tials. With tobacco restricted the price o! 20 cigarettes is 80c and a mug cf beer 23c. Great sums are also spent on watching sports and gambling in pools. Many linesc cof food are very short altheught cheap basic foeds such as bread and petatees are made available in quantity. Mr. Biakely brought back clip- pîngs*frein the famed Manchester Guardian that tell quite a bit cf present living standards, fancied leisure frein sherter heurs that populates pubs, littie incentive te grow gardens, wages pegged and gencral ennui. Incentive is gene new that socialisin has gripped L the nation. But it wen't last. People are beginning te see that production Iý [s the key to recever prosperity. F This subsidizing of everything nay appear te level off the people but it brings ir. its wake a "dead- C pan" outlook stifling ambition, C What is net draîned off in taxes X from pay cheques te swell subsidy funds is going inte shoddy plea- sures in far tee many cases. Back on the job at Goodyear,D Mr. Blakely bad te hasten awayN and hoppod into his new maroon C Studobaker te get back te his job C and save more money for another FI rip and abundant living which have been the rewards he has found for bonest work under the system cf free enterprise. Bill is ProresiveCoseratie ssoiaton Farniers Reap BDei! Through Ontario Deparimient of Agriculture Greatest in Hisfory of Province Now that the campaign in on to elect a new legislatur. for th. Province of Ontario, the opposition will attempt much criticiam of Premier Drew's administration in the hope cf defeating him ut the, pols. While il i. generally conceded that ho wlfl be returned ii> power with a subtantial majority, neverheless his programme for the years ahead should b. studied by electors as a basis for meamiur. lng the criticismas and determining whether his poicies stand for ex. pansion and prosperity. DREWS PROGRAM AIDS AGRICULTURE Figures have been published showing the general budget. W« propose to break down some of these to show how the money la to be spent. Since Durham County la made up mostly of farinera we list herewith the amounts to be spent in particular departinents under the Minister of Agriculture. These figures will show how qreatily the Drew governinent plans to aid Ontario fariners. If the aumos allocated appear to be laid to expand agriculture then the governinent should b. supported. FOOTE SUPPORTS AGRICULTURAL BUDGET Major John Foote, V.C., is the Drew candidate in Durham County. Me stands prepared to support this agricultural budget and to get a fair share of it for the benefit of Durham County farmers. Varying ameunts have been allotted to ail governinent services, such, as education, health and welfare, labor, education and s0 forth. These have a direct bearing on Durham County and the campaign cf Major Foote. We shall look at somhe cf thein in later issues. It will appear quite certain that Major Footo is backing the best prograin for expanding prosperity in Ontario. It la quit. Lîkely that he will be more than a private member ini support of Premier Drew. 1948-49 ESTIMATES MWain Off ice ------$--------------------- 326,915.00 Statistics and Publications Branch------------- 22,800.00 5Agricultural and Horticultural Societies Branch------- 205,450.00 Live Stock Branch ----- -------------- --------- ---- 236,115.00 Aomen's Institute and Home Economjcs Service Branch 149,795.00 Dairy Branch ------------------ - 178,575.00 vlilk Control Board ------------------ -------- -- ---- 74,360.00 Fruit Branch-------------------------- ------ - ------------- 153,875.00 Agricultural Representative Branch -------- -----645,660.00 Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch ----- ---------- 109,425.00 ..o-operaticn and Markets Branch ------- - 66,310.00 Kemptville Agricultural School ----- 182,145.00 Horticultural Experiment Station------------------------ 110,775,00 Western Ontario Experimental Farm ---- 54,565.00 Demonstration Farin, New Liskeard---- 19,630.00 Northern Ontario Branch --- -- ------ ------- 758,600.00 Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph ------- -- 493,790.00 Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph--------------------- 1,829,135.00 Fruit Branch ------------------------------------1----------------------250,000.00 (Inserted by authority of the Durhamn County -Advi.
