JAMES. £DzToux FREEDOM 0F THE PRESS VITAL TO CIVILIZED LIBERTY At a récent session cf the House of Commons thé statement was recorded in Ilansard that a Free Press was far more vital and potent than al ether agencies çissemlnating information in the world teday. Indéed most speeches in the Heuse bristie with press quotations. These tri- butes may givé editors expansive mo- ments but the question cf the heur la: "Are éditors really méasuring up te their inherited tradition cf Freedom cf thé Press in this century?" Despite these par- liamentary eulogiés the record spéaks for itseif.- During the past forty years, three war-lords in succession have arisen te challenge democratic freedom and force- fuiiy seek te dominate the whole world. The most formidable ef thé three, and the most astute, is in the saddle now and rid- ing hard upon us. Free institutions, evolved through many décades ef éstablishing the demo- cratie concept, are now more seriouuly chailengéd than evér before. It seema that ; what we term the "Fourth Estate" has somehow declined in inspiring public op- inion. Certainiy public consciousness has wéakened or we wouidn't be in the inter- national mess we have teday. It can be maintained that the Press ~' first won its own freedom f£rom médiéval tyranny and then went on te win fréedom for the people thémsélves. Such figures as Rousseau and Paine used thé printed word te spread enlightenment which gave méaning and éffect te the principle of De- mocracy, under which freedom grew. The hstorical lesson from this is thé power cf tePress te awaken public conscicusness. Democracy taught peoples that free institutions are its lit éblood, freéece- operation its instrumen t, undur' thé rule of law and divine guidance, and that peacé, security and progress were its ul- timaté ambitions. Thé concurrent Fre Press was the instrument that kept the lofty concepts alivé. Freédom gave science full reign which haà brought us te an era unprecedentéd in individual comforts and lessened toil. But simultaneousiy as we boast cf all this thé whole structure ha& been undermined by idéologies cf enalave- meint masquerading under thé guise cf peace and démocracy. Obsessed with gain- ing an even higher standard cf living, thé democracies have lest something along thé way or wé would net now be in eur présent desperate situation. Almost for thé past half-century we have seen international obligations igner- éd, treaties dishonoured, wars launched without declaring thém, ihfiltration cf fif th columns, lying propaganda promul- gated, until world confidence has béén shaken te thé coré. Wé have fought two military victory in c th. After each crisis we have gene back te democratic compia- cency featured by a senseléas soramble for shorter heurs, more pay, softér living and idiotic distractions cf jungle music and singing cormércials launched by a juvénile compétitor of thé traditional Fre Pre nolycldefroal this that guide public sentiment and rally people te face realitiés aftér winning successive struggles for freedom. But new, once again, wé are belatedly manning thé ram- parts te repél thé most insidieus menacé te our. cherished way of living. Wé are once more accépting a self -imposed los of individual fréedom and we are once more separating thé youth of the land from normal lufe and useful production te face thé pressing danger cf thé moment, If this is te be thé récurrent stery cf De- mocracy then it is timé te re-awaken thé ~' wholé people. That is the challenge te the Free Press today. Since the real strength cf a nation is rooted in its very soul, then this chal- lenge beckons every Canadian weekly newspaper, for they are created te serve the best interests cf a rural population, the very bedrock cf national prosperity and security. Few weeklies have given readers a truly arresting picture ofthe present peril and its causes. It's time te take up Churchill's warning: "lWe are in great danger" and te act on his experienc- ed judgmnent. Thus in the weekly uphere the need cf the heur is te revitalize the people, restore the Christian -strength that won our héritage cf freedom. If we fail now our boasted Fredom cof the Press will be gene utterly from the face cf the globe. Birdologists (is that the right word?) are expressing worr over'the rapid diS- appearancé cf the whooping crane. May- be it's thé resuit cf ail those noise abat.- mient progra=i When Mr. Abbott-or, rather, those who advisé him--decidéd te impose à tax on soft drinks, a unique record was brok- en. In this w*ay one cf the lait rernaining cernmodities te bé sold at pre-war pricés climbéd ente. thé inflationary bandwagon. Thé climb, it is trué, was artificial, but thé éffect on thé consumer'& pockétbook ila thé' sarne. Sotit drink cempanies will net dérive any benefit tom the one-cént incréàsé. In many part& of Canada their product stilli sélîs for thé 1939 pricé-indeed, thé 1900) price-plus, cf course, thé é±cise tax. How this price lével can be maintained in thé face cf steadily rieing costs is something cf a mystéry. Glass has gene up, and honce bottling costs; raw materials are up; trans- portation and distribution~ colts have dou- bled; and labour, the largest single test fector in any opération, la up 100 per cent or more. Today's consumer is conditioned te in- flationary prices; and thére is now far léss tendency te damn eéry manufacturer ag a profîteer if hé finda himseîf compelled te face economic reality by raising his price. It would hardly surprise thé pub- lic, therefore, if scfit drink mnanaufacturérs were te faîl in step with thé times and bring thé pricé cf their product more in line with present day cests. It la qulté obviously impossible te go trying te bal- ance 1950 débits against 1939 crédits. It is clear that thé 5c (plus tax) sit drink is living on barrowed time. Sooner or later cither it must go, or thé compatiiers that make it. Nevertheless, its passing will be regretted, as it is about thé last, link with thé days when a dollar'& worth rieédéd a bag te carry it, inst.ad of a thimble. EDITORIAL NOTES Soe safety habits are hard te break. All threugh thé strike wé looked both ways and slowed down at each rail cross- ing. Thé firat responsibility of any busi- ness is te give service te its customers. To do se it must remain selvent. Profits are just as essential as wages. A bus- iness which makes ne profit empîcys ne one. Sehool teachers are blaming parents, and parents, teachers. Employers are con- cerned at thé apparent failure of both. We do net know who is at tault, but cor- tainly thé spoken and written word of our rising génération is being marréd far tee frequently by a solvenly disregard cf thé elementary rules of gramm..r and Trhere mnay b. something in what the viewers-with-alarm are saying about this generation's desire for personal security at the expense of someone else. Maybe Canadians do want to live like the grass- hopper in the sumnner and yet share al the perquisites of the ant when winter comes. But there is plenty of evidence te the contrary. [t can be found, for instance, in the record of national experience with Canada Savings Bonds, which go on sale this month for the fifth successive year. Every year since their introduction in- 1946, near- iy a million Canadians hatve bought themn to the tune of more than a quarter of a billion dollars. Lait year's figure was $314.100,000, saved by 994,358 personi. That's big money-almoît as much as the $394,099,497 Caftadians spent on new automobiles last year. As such, it's aIsn big news. Particuiarly when it is realized that twô out of every three bond purchas. ers were wage earners, who bought.them by regular instalments through the Psy- roll Savinga Plan. Granted there are special attractions in the purchase of a Canada Savingt Bond. For one thing, it can b. bought only by individuals-and not more than $1,000 te any one member cf a family. For another, it is one of a very few savings instrument in the world which guaranteesý the pur- chaser full face value plus intereit -at any time with n'o concern for market fluctua- tions. It's like dollar buis bearing intèr- est. But the important tact is that people are buying bonds-and buyinig themn reg- ularly, in increasing numbers and increas- ing amounts. To us; it sounds like the kind of thrif t and self-reliance that 4omne people would like to insist are disappear- ing fromi our culture. DAIRYING GIVES IMIGII RECTURNS Surveys made in the Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, show that the cash income from the sale cf dairy pro- ducts is greater than the revenue frein any other agricultural product with the exception of wheat. If the retur-no f romn the sale of dairy' cattle for expert and slaughter are included, then the total cash incôme from dairying exceeds that cf wheat and approximates 25 per cent cf thé total cash income frôm farming. Another point that ia etten overlookèd when considering dairying. in the national economny cf Canada, is the part that thé dairy animais themsoelves play 'in home and community life Ini helping te put ag- riculture on a more permanentbasis. While no one particularly likes doing chores, mogt farmers beconte atta ched te their animiais and they soon become a part cf farm lue. They serve also te give children an understanding cf 111e that proves invaluable te them and through their caîf clubs boys and girls are given an opportunity te learn aound ftrming practices, and what ifi More important, te become gond Canadian citizen&.
