ONTARIO r qTMSDAY, MAT l2t, M0 Article No. 2 !Juch as we hate te, rub It in, we are stili chucklirig over the Statesman's editorial effort to prove, for ail time, that Liberals have really put Canada's economfy iâto a slump. Read it for your- se1f on page 5. We've read form- er editorials, rnainiy addressed te farmers, showing them how tough tffings were for thern under the Liberal regime when ail the time thie farmners were doing better than they had ever done in their lives. Such thînking is the nega- ti'Ve crying of the breaker-dbwn- ers - the destructive critics. ~Same Cry-Different Leader In 1945 a new Conservative leiader was touring the country and he vîas forecasting a depress- ion unless the government was cbanged. Today, four years later, another new Conservative leader is teuring the same country with sizilar tales of woe. Some of the Facts But, his efforts and the efforts of his dutiful press rnust remain futile because Canada is definitely more prosp&rous than it ever was hefore. Our national income is three times what it was when war broke out. Wages and salaries have triplcd in ten years; invest- ment inceme is more than tripled; ferm incarne is four times as çreai as it was ten years ago. There is a billion dollars more in sav- ings accounts today than there was ten years ago. Two and a WANTED Immediaiely YOUNG WOMEN 16 ta 21 Years for Fruit and Vegetable Work.

John W. Foote, V.C., miem'bers for Durham and a Presiyyterian miniEtex, as vice chairman of the Liquor Control Board. Others received news of the sppointment un.favorably. "Mr. Foote criticised the Gev- rrnent early in the last session of the Legislature,"' Rev. Dr. James Semple, George St. United Church told the Examiner. "Any nan who is courageous enough eo do what he did at Dieppe dur- rig the war and to win the VOC., wil have the courage of his con- victions te say what he thinks ought te be done in this matter,"' Dr. Semple, declared when asked o express his opinion on the ap- pointment. Mr. Foote won the V.C. nt Dieppe while serving as an Army Chaplain. Dr. Bruce Gordon, Trinity Jnited Church, claimed there was only one consistent viewpoint for iii clegyrnen on the liquor ques- tion. "The matter is so bound up by pressure of big business that the political parties have been .inable te free themselves of its influence-How can one person de it?"' Dr. Gordon asks. Rev. M. J. Aiken, St. Andrew's United Church and president of the Ontario Temperance Board, told the Examiner that he thought this wouid be a helpful appoint- ment. Mr. Foote had said in the Legisiature th-at if he had his way there would be ne beverage rooms at ail. In view of this atti- tude, Mr. Aiken feit that the ap- pointment was a step in the right direction. Referring to the appeintmniet Mr. Aiken said, "We might infer that the present Gevernment bas looked into, the matter and come te the conclusion that this tem- perance problem is samething about wbich, action must be taken." Rev. C. G. Beyd of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church would vaice no opinion when asked by the Examiner. "It is very interesting, but leave me eut of it." was Mr. Boyd's friendly, but firm reply. Rev. E. C. Moore of St. George's' Anglican Church "did net re-act faveurably" te the appointment. in m 156 Yonqe S, 252 King St. E. 'II amrn ot a dry man," he said, and te allow a man a drink when he wanted it was the philosophy of1 his church. He feit there would be sorne bias as a resuit cf the appointment.
