So the Senate It was-and in that "other place" Senator Fallis has now entered' upon her fourteenth session of usefulness. Even with 14 seats awalting new occupants, the Senate today is a very one-sided body. But to Senator Fallis'there is little frus-i tration in being one af the very small mincrity of Progressive Conservatives in that august body. A woman widely read and keenly interested she assures us, toa, that the women (aIl two of them) get equal recognition with the men, alike in debate and in committee work. Equality of oppartunity for men and women is one of the causes for which Senator Fallis han al- ways striven, both before and since her appointrnent ta the Up- per House. "I don't believe in women asking for speciai priv- iliges because they are warnen," she says, emphasizing the state- ment with a gesture of the fine, srnall hands which have a char- acter of their own. "Ail I have ever asked is not te be discrim- inated against because I arn a woman." Because of that strang conviction of sex equality, she explains, she was "intensely pleas- ed"l when, at an annual meeting in Ottawa three or four years ago, the Dominion Progressive Con- servative Association wrote this equality plank inta its platform- and again when the same principle was confirrned and writte.n into the platform of policy as a whole. at the leadership convention last faîl. Senator Fallis has spoken fre- quentiy along these uines, in the Senate and at rnany of the public gatherings for which she is in such demand in ail parts of Canada. The position of women in indue- try is a national question in which she takes very speciai interest. "Sa long as there is full employ- ment this does not present a problem," she admits, "but if a recession shouid corne, and there were not enough work for every- one, once again I feel that there shouid fPot be discrimination of sex." The yardstick of ernploy- ment should be twofold. shp goes on: first, the ability of the indiv- iduai to do the job and secondly, the need of the individual for that job. "Its surprising," she adds with a quizzical smile, "'how many women themselves are narrow minded about it. Thev just don't 'realize how rnany ather women have need af work." What does she do with ber spare tirne? Senator Failis f inds the question rather amusing - and quite simple to answer. There is not much leisure, she regrets, in the busy life of a public woman whose husband is the owner ai a big farmn outside Peterborough. She takes her duties and resvan- sibilities for she serves double duty in the Senate-as the anly Pro- gressive Conservative woman in the Upper House, and as the only P.C. Senator representing Ontario. "Isn't that fuil-tirne job while the House is sitting?" she demands. Travelling and speaking 'occupy much of her outside tirne, and the preparation for speaking is a task in itself,-a pleasant task, 1how- ever, for Tva Camnpbell Falis is Ail elernenta have 5-het switches.

A truly effective citizen, with full realization of women's citizen- ship duties, whether in private or public if e, Senator Fallis has high hopes that her responsibilities as the Progressive Conserva t i v e Party's oniy woman on Parliament Hill will soon be shared. "I'm hoping, when election tîme cornes around, that the Party wil fulfilil is promise and give real encouragement to capable women in every province to stand for election to the House of Commons. We need them there te represent the women of every part af Can- ada," she says, and adds in protest 've been the only P.C. woman on the Hill for a long while. It's high tirne that I had carnpany.

My friend carne back with this comment: "Yes, that's ail right but if you were a candidate for the House ai Commons would you appose these expenditures?" 'Yes," I answered, "ernpbatically I would. How do you think I could stand on a public platform and defend sornething in which I have no faith?" His laconie reply was: "In that case you would be defeated." Well that wouldn't annoy me. There are many things wbich are worse than defeat. The long range results ai the policies we are following are dangerus-it is high tirne for somebody ta be de- feated in a righteous cause-it doesn't bappen very often There will be a sinister lack af irankness in the next election campaign. Men, who are capable oi discussing the public issues will be inclined ta slur tbern over. The road abead bas a seductive appeal. The voters love ta be told that effort is no longer essential. By some strange legerdemain, the governrnent is to take a still larg- er portion oi our incarne, spend it in ways which have an appeal ta the less efficient among aur people and thus enrich the nation. Ail groups in the political circle accept this new approach ta statesmanship. Each feels that he can out-bid the other in the mat- ter of promises. We bave had a war and a post- war boom. History tells us that depressions follow booms. There are those who think that aur wis- dam and wider experience will now enable us ta avoid a depres- sion. One method is ta buy it off with greater and greater expendi- tures, others would ýbcat the tom-toms af a new policy, one which would cause even the worst depression ta drap dead in its tracks. Personally I arn canvinc- ed that there will be a reactian and sornetirne, within the next five years we may be called on ta face the real problem, an era af low prices and high costs. Why do I expect so long a bease afi lue before the demon ai depression cornes ta us. The great depression did not strike until 1929-eleven years aiter the close ai World War 1. There are more unknown factors in the picture. What can we do about it? We can at ieast examine the facts. Here is sorne- thing irom a squint at the records of the part. In 1928 the national i- orne touched $4,750 million-,' the peak ai the boom. By 1933 it had fallen 1 million. It had been alroc two in those five years afi sity. The average Canadian zen had 50c in 1933 for every dol- lar be had in 1928-but cost af living was lower. Government expenditures were actually higber in 1933 than they were in 1928. It wasn't a pros- peraus period. There were many unernployed. The farmers were busy but they were eamning lit- tie. Recovery was slow; we didn't get back ta the 1928 level untîl the war started. The total national incarne In 1939 is estirnated at $4,289 mil- lions, in 1948 at $12,000l million. Governrnent expenditures in 1939 amounted ta $553 million. The current expenditures will probably exceed $2,400 million. There would be difficult times in Canada if the national in- carne slipped while governent expenditures rernained as bigh as they are today or crawled up- ward beyond present levels. It could bappen. In plain language-if incarne declines wbile fixed charges me- main as tbey are today or move above present levels, it will be tougb sledding for the people ai Canada.

It is aimost double the amaunt spent on agriculture, mines and me- sources and public works. It amounted to mare than the sales tax-it is approximately 60% of the personal incarne tax.

Off ers Solutions To Farm Help Problern Where To Live (by John Atkins, Shingwauk Farrn) Before there can be a solution ta, the farrn help problem, living conditions satisfactory ta the farrn famiiy and farm employees rnust be establ'ished. The prevaîling method, which brings strangers into farm homes to live as mem- bers of the famiiy, fails too often. Few families, rural or urban, find it coingenial both to live and work with others. Few farmn workers are happy in living ar- rangements which foster incom- patibility. The inescapable corn- pany of others calîs for irksome adjustments which become too great a strain on human nature. In many cases the relationships betwveen a farm family and an empioyed family, which is separ- ateiy housed, are not satisfactory. The farmer and bis employed married man frequentiy are strangers at the time of employ- ment and their experiences with each other fail to work out well. Sometimes the families are not congenial. The most satisfactory farm em- ployees are those drawn frorn the neighbourhood. In most cases the farmer and emnioyees who know each other get along weli. They live and work happily to- gether ta their common profit, sometimes for many years. Un- fortunately, there are fcw farmn neighbourhoods in whichi local farm heip is availpble and farm- ers are compeiied ta resort to employin-g strafiMers and bringing them into their homes. Farmers' wivcs bear the burden of this problem, which is a great one. Aside from the viork involved in caring for the family and others, wit'hout modern conveniences in mort cases, the risks af bminging undesimable people into the home life are cansiderable. The best solution appeers ta be the establishment ai skilied farm workers on small places of their own ln each neighbourhood. It may be necessary for a com- munity of farmers ta guarantee a minimum amount ai work toaa group ai such employees, wha rnigbt also care for and operate some ca-operativeiy owned farm equiprnent. The evolution of such a plan in rural Canada could be undertaken by farmers' co-opera- tives and governent agencies. IT¶e present sehemne of imrmigra- tion of dsrplaced perrons, one-haif of whom leave farm work as soan as possible, is a valuable expedi- ent but it is noi a solution of long. ange value. Editors' note: In England son-w Rural Municipalities are emecting cottages for skilled Farm Labour. Such cottages are generaliy grouped in smahi communities near centres of ernployment. Farmers of district arrange for cantinuity ai empioyment of this labour. The cottages are rented at nominal rents ta attract labour into these channels.
