?EUEUAY. AGUST 1. 149 TH CANAIAN TATESAN ROMA1'VT1r~n'A1 _W.eky Review Sociking The Middle Classes By LEWIS MILLICANj -Beforç and during the war, and even at the close of it, Mr. J. B. Priestley, the British novelist and playrlfht, was a rabid Socialist. Indee, in some of his political writlngs and radio broadcasts he 4~gt~d t le quite ready f0 ac- dCmmunism ,as in Russia. Hti worked for the election of the Labor Government and looked forward to a new era of social justice and plenty under a system of economic planning and nation- alization. With the capitalist ind the profit motive out of the way, there wouid lie no more rich, and everybody would have a fair ohare of everything. I lielieve that Mr. Priestley was vrery sincere in ail this, for he had deep sympathy for the Mill- workers of Lancashire and York- shirt who suffered extreme pov- erty during the depression of the 'thirties. But although he may stili dlaim ta lie a Socialist. he is a very critical If not. a disillu- sior'ed one. Mr. Priestley does flot like aust.erity, particularly in eatabies and drinkables, for he is more than somewat of an epi- cure. He pines for the former days when lie could flot only get a good square meal, but a good ail-round d6ne to sustain lis ro tundity and Falst.affian good lu- mor. He stili tries to be cheerful, but the effort it too obvious, and seriousness is always breaking in. He no longer rails against the idie rich, for there are none or tew to rail against since they have been "soaked" into indi- gence, and lie now has a kind word for the tax-ridden capital- ists. Mr. Priestley' has corne fa rea- lize that le him5'elf, as a novelist and playwright, Js a capitaiist and is dependent upon profits for the maintenance of his enterprises. In his weckl\ letter to The New Statesman, the leading Socialist Journal, he complains about the PULL LINE 0F IMPLEMENTS JOHN DEERE TRACTORS - PLOWS MOWERS - ETC. -For fimmediate Delivery - Also Repairs and Parts for Al John Deere Machinery CUSTOM WORIC DONE Fe Se ALLEN 44 Concession St. Bowmariville Phone 594 IA WI/kV t#1M6ort FS' "CANADA UNLIMITED"' Under the fragrant pnes et Cap Tourmente, students et St. Joachim School gathered ta Iearn arts and crafts.

Mn. Pniestley puts fie bhanr for these increased casts upc 'ýadjusfment by taxation, o which sa muci simple faith pinned cspecially by mren ou side fie dusty arena of debil and credits." He gives the fa lowing example: "We will *a that I arn asked ta pay $1,400 week rent for a West End tiee tre fiat before the war rented fc $600.
