British Socialists are beginning ta worry over thc problem aif in- centives. The problem is how ta get people ta work from pureiy unselfish mo tives and faor the gen- eral gaad. They claim ta have the solution for al ather problems by ecanomic and social planning. In its four years ai office, the Labor Government bas nationalized mast ai the important industries and utilities, and it bas ceated or ex- tênçled "firee"- public services and sqipps for providing social se- ctt,î- , fromn the cradie ta the gmaYei Hencefomth theme was ta ho nq pçvorty, and unemployment wà',to..be.a thing ai the past or riWlùcod ta a minimum. With the elt»i1baion ai the capitalist and tlerivate industrialist, the profit m#gtive wouid be abolished and tiik wrkors would no longer be "'eýpoited". There would be no more need or cause for strikes and slowdowns, and production would he ncreased to the maximum. How could it be otherwise under a Governmnent devoted entirely ta the .rights of Labor ajid con- trolled by the Labor unions? But it is nevertheless otherwise, for there have keéen mxore and worse strikes and showdowns ln the past four years than in any similar previous period under free enterprise. Moreover, pro- duction per working hours has never been so low, the cost of liv- ing has neyer been so high and the necessaries of life so scarce. De- spite the intensive econc-mîc, in- dustrial and commercial planning, export trade, upon which British labor largely depends for employ- ment, is declining, and the Gov- ernment admits that it is at the point of economnic bankruptcy.

FARMERS 13ORROW MORE Canadian fermera are making good use ai the borrowing facili- tiez providcd for thern under the Farm Improvement Loans Act. bankers report in The Financial Post. Total amiount ioaned in 1948 was ahead af the 1947 total and 1949 borrawings ta date are esti- mated.to be weii up to the figures at this turne a year aga, may be considerably highem. The primary purpose of the Farm Improvemnent Lons Act barç been descibed as an effort ta fil] a gap in the Canadian credit sys- tem ta meet the needs ai agricul- ture. It was aimed at providing in- fermçediate and long term credit !or farmers under more canven- ie-tit terms and conditions than ex- isted formerly. warned that Britain had reached a I'very tough spot", and he gave no promise of relief £ramn the stîf! taxes and restrictions on prices and wages. "«Our position is a grave one - - - and the economlc barometer is certainly flot rislng,"' he said. He demanded "greater ef- ficiency in production." Herbert Morrison was even more pessimistic. Referring ta the prospects of -the General Election, he saîd "it wiil be a fight for aur lives," and he warned workers against the "illusion that the State is a magical organization which can give things away with- out people earning them." He said that Socialismn doca flot "enabie peopie ta go easy and becorne siack, slothful and lazy." So the whoie prabiemn resolves itself into one of incentives ta honest work and etficiency. The natural incentives ta that end are being gradually removed by "free" public services and assurance of social security. The workers have been toid that under Socialism tbey need flot worry any more about the present or the future - - -the Stato and its planners will take care of ail that. Under such conditions and with such assur- ance what incentive is there lef t for officioncy and honest work? Instead there is evory incentive ta slackness and laziness. The pro- fit motive, which was condemned as the great evîl af capitalism, bas been transferred ta the workers who indulge in ail kinds of gamb- ling in the hope af getting-rich- quick - - and themselves be- coming capitalists! The winers of sums af money running into six figures are belauded and envied as beroes. Socialists and apologists for the Government are very much wor- ried about ail this. They are caîl- ing for an intensive campaign of education ta lmpress upon the workers the ideals and principles of Socialism. There is a feeling among the milder Socialists that perhaps social services have gone tao far and that nationalization should be slowed up. They insist that moral incentives must be created, that the people must be imbued with a sense ai personal respopsibility and public duty if Socialism is to be "made ta work?" They suggest that, for the time be- ing, there should be a combination of Socialism and Capitalism, and that free enterprise should be en- couraged. But there is little hope of the latter since most of the in- ceritives ta free enterprise have been removed by crippling taxa- tion and Govornment controis.

Thus, the Canadian farmer has begun ta reap some direct benefit fromn the U.K. contract as an off- set to the price disadvantage he auffered during several years whon the price contract wà9 Weil be]ow world prices. At one time the latter price wasc briefly more than $3.40 per bush-" el. During the present year it bas i ranged downward from $2.40, asa af last Auguet, ta the $2 price ro. cently established.

The history of the Canadian primary textiles industry is stud- ded with unusual taies of strong, determined men, but few can compare with Alexander Gibson wha in 1883 built a cotton mili at Maryvilie, N.B.

U.S. farmors are indiffer- ent, for the simple reason that they expect ta get good prices for their wheat wbon the market per- mits, out of the taxpayers, wbeth- em the wheat is sold abraad at low prices or flot. Canadian farmers, as far as evidence is available, take the attitude that they prefer low prices ta bigli prices. Theîr leaders give the impression that there is some hope ai thoir being protected at the cast ai the tax- paYers, but no one olse takes this theary seriausly any more. Every- wbere in discussion ai the pros- pects ai wheat trade, there are reterences to the world price, but there is now no world price. Thore are only the prices eigtabllshed in t.he International Wheat Agree- ment; and thc British Wheat Ag- reement, s0 that wheat grawers hereaitor wiil notbe dependent on market conditions for prices, but an their skill in using political power against those great masses ai people who want low food pric.. os, but cetainiy are not interested in the fate ai wbeat gmawers.
