Ottawa. Bowmanville, Ontario GEO. W. JAMES, EDIToR WHAT IS BROTHERHOOD? As this is Brotherhood Week we might well ask the question, what is Brother- hQod? Brotherhood is giving te others the rights and respect that we want for ourselves. This definition rests squarely on the basic principles of religion and is the expression of religion in democratic if e. Respect for ail people is an essential part of Canadianism. The concept of equality and brotherhood is deeply im- bedded in Canadian life. Both Christianity and Judaism teach respect for every child of God. God is the Father of ail men and therefore ail men are brothers. "Thou shaît love thy neigh- bour as thyseif." This spiritual concept is the unifying force flot only -of our nation but of the world. The source of hope in this dis-. rupted world is the fact that the human race is one f amily and God is the Father of alI. Canadian democracy grew out of this religious tradition. It is natural, therefore, that respect for each person should be paramount in our democratic society. Today these principles of religion and democracy are threatened. The big ques- tion is whether the human spirit will re- main free or whether it is to be enslaved. The dignity of man is on trial and the fate of civilization may well depend upon the outcome. Brotherhood Week supplies the op- portunity to promnote understanding, to stress the interests and responsibilities that Canadians have in common, the things that unite instead cf divide. If we are true te our religious princîples and our democratic ideals we must practice bro- therhood. A ONE-TIME LOCAL INDUSTRY NOW SERVES EVERY CONTINENT The name Massey-Harris, whether you see it painted on a f armn implement or printed in a newspaper, always seems te arouse a fascinating intimacy of pride te aaýyone who has lived in Durham County. Guess some people would caîl such an attitude old-fashioned sentiment toward thîs pioneer industry which was estab- lished in this county, at Newcastle, over one hundred years ago. Although it is over fifty years since this local industry suffered from growing pains cf expansion and moved te Toronto we lfke te keep ftesh in the minds of generation after generation that this great industry got its start right in our midst. Looking back over history we think it can be truthfully said that Massey- Harris implernents have done more than any other means, te raise agriculture in Canada te a high standard cf efficiency with its inventions cf labor-saving mach- inery, which bas made agriculture the most important industry in this great dominion in the past century. Such xere sorne cf the thoughts which of increase," say s the report. Towards the end of the report colour photographs show various types of Mas- sey-Harris farm equiprnent in operation, arnply justifying the dlaim that "in the application of modern mechanization, agri- culture in recent yebrs has been effecting an equiprnent change-over that is without parallel in history." TOO MUCH GOV'T. CODDLING Delegates at the annual convention of - the Ontario Provincial Federation of Labour, held recently in Toronto, clashed over a motion seekîng government legisia- tien te limait working heurs of Hamilton street car and bus drivers te f jvc days a week. While younger delgates supported the motion, eider unionists argued that it sought tee much "government coddling."ý This view was stremsd by Robert Ford, president of the Ottawa Typograph- ical Union, who said he was surprised that any labour group wouid ask the govern- ment te do a job the union itself should be doing, and he added: "It just shows a lack of intestinal fortitude in the .people wbo ask the governrnent to do their work. If this eirt cf thing goes on, it will not be long before trade unionisrn is wiped eut altegether." Mr. Ford bas probably been studying a recent history cf trade unions in Ruseia and Gerrnany, which describes how, by mneans cf legislative "coddling," the unions In those countries were gradually absorb- ed by the government, and the labour leaders became bureaucratic slave-drivers cf the workers. The sarne process, in its early stages, is operating under the British Labour Governrnent which has already absorbed many labour union leaders. It is a natural and quite logical process, and it is being speeded up by the nationalization cf industries, which must inevîtably lead te the nationalization cf labour unions. Socialism plays with labour unions as a cat phays with a mouse before eating it. HOSPITALS OFFER VITAL SERVICE At a meeting cf Canadian Civil De- fence authorities in Hull, P.Q., last week, it was emphasized by prornînent speakers that the provision cf more adequate hos- pitalization in srnaller centres wvas a vital part cf civil defence. It is planned in the new and urgently needed civil defence system that the srnaller cities and towns will occupy the role cf acting as reception centres for treatment and care cf victims cf enemy bombing in case cf a hostile attack on this country by the Cornmunists. Construction cf new hospitals and ex- tension cf present hospital accommodation ne doubt will reccive pricrity f rom f ederal efficials in the way cf requisîte building materials. Many Ontario centres already have added hospital accommodation under way, as in the case cf the Bewrnanville Memorial Hospital. No time shouhd be lest in carrying cut these prejects. OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS The greatest danger te dernocracy is tebelief that there is virtue in errer when multiplied by ballots. In a double prenged drive te stop needless spending and te finance defense expenditures the federal governrnent is considering adopting the compulsory sav- ings plan again, which wasn't a bad idea as we recahl it during the hast war. Martha says: Because mother doesn't get paid f or her work, she can't bring in any extra dollars to help offset cost cf living; but the dollars she saves, by careful management cf the farnily budget, are the only dollars we have lef t at the end of the year. inflation bits, hardest at the poor,,'t people. Since they can't cut dowvn in buying goods like washing machines, be- cause tbey ceuldn't afford them anyway, when the pinch cornes the only things they can curtail are the barest essentials of livelihoed and they suffer actual pri- vation.-Grabam Towers Members cf the newly organizea Durham Ccunty District Htigh School Board have apparently entered upon their duties with enthusiasrn and determination. At their meeting held Friday night, re- ported fully in this issue, the session lasted from 8 p.m. till 1:30 a.rn. - and ne time and a haîf for overtirne! It is ail very well te urge the govern- ment te apply controls sirnultaneausly and equitably te ail sections cf the econorny. But the gevernrnent can do onlyý what is possible; and we have ne assurance that effective wage control is possible. It did net prove possible during the war years, and nothing has happened since te con- vfhce us that it would be possible today. Hard ceai went up $1.50 a ton last week, raising the price in Bowmanville and ether places in Ontario te $26.50. This is enly another illustration cf the fact that the unions are gaining little for their own members by dernands for constant wage increases, wbile they are making the bur- den on those dependent on a f ixed income well nigh intolerable. It would be unf air, however, te lay ahl the blame cn the labeur unions. Tbougb their actions do not ob- tain se rnuch publicity, it is te be suspected that thtý manufacturers, the whclesale bouse and the retailers are busily engaged in rnarking up prices, in anticipation of price controls. If the Government bas any intention cf irnpostng price and wage controls tbev should do se before the darnage is donc.
