W.- JAMES, EDITOB BROTHERHOOD WEEK OFFERS A REAL'CHALLENGE This is Brotherhood Week. The oc- casion is a challenge to evýery citizén, of ,v.ery-; nationality. It is a challenge to selltfr Ï.-the moral fiber of the com- munity, it is a time when citizens should combat racial prejudices and promote the idea>.of goodwiilland brotherhood in the hômèiïi, in th& shôol, in the church, the lodge, the service club and in business. It is a time to develop friendly atmosphere and better, - undem5tanding between al peôples. Following this chain of thought, in a country such-as ours with its diversity of ra clal and eréligious groups it is important that each of these groups should under- stand and yesp ect the legitimate aspira- ,tidhs'of the* others and that ail should be .fLble and ready ta work together for the ,common good of everyone. ,The objectives of Brotherhood Week .àre to promote justice, amity, understand- ing and co-operation amang Protestants, Catholics and Jews, and* to analyze, mod- ,,rate and finally eliminate intergroup pre- 'Judices which disfigure and distort relig- ious, business, social and political relations, e<ith a view ta the establishment of a social order in which the religious ideais of brotherhood and justice shahl become the standards of human relationships. t BROTHERHOOD WEEK serves ta give people an opportunity to rededicate *-hemelvsasý individuals ta the basic :,îdeals of lÉespect for others and for the humý4-rights which are .essential ta the good 'wýy of lf e. These are days when the idea of ,tunity and a better understanding between Snien of ail creeds is stressed. Brotherhood ýàs a good ide&, it centers around the teac4- : ings of the Master. If you would încrease iý;your happiness and live a more coztented jPife, forget racial barriers ind become a jfriend of man. i Forget the peculiarities of your friends ,!and only remember the good points. For- 1.1get the difference in religion and remem- ;ber that ail humans are strivîng ta reach the same goal.

HONEST CONFESSION-GOOD FOR THE SOUL Soiàiethi,àg.entirely new in the arena of paîtY4politîcs vas given the limelight o! publýy hast week when Norman L. Mathe ws, Jkîesident Qf the Ontario Liberal Associatio0i, lxi an address in Toronto, list- ed seven. reasons *for. the defeat o! the Liberals 'j the haàst provincial election. It is, o!f ol,.rse,,-a common practice for a defeàted party ta hold postmortems be- hind closed doors with blinds drawn, but ta corne right out in the open and hail from a public platform' the reasons for defeat is an entirely new venture ta our kb~owedge. In creating such a precedent in pol- itical behaviour the outstanding feature was a frank, admission and a real com- pliment. ta the victoriaus leader, for the !irst reason listed was "the personal pop- ularity of Premier Frost and the voters' belief that he hadl given goad government" (This view, said the president, was rnost frequently advanced by Progressive Con- servatives). The other reasons 'vere: The type o! publicity given the Liberal campaign by the Toronto Daily Star. The Liberal leader. The allegedly extravagant promises made by the Liberal leader. The allegedhy excessive taxation and failure ta contrai, prices by the Federal Government. %The alleged weakness o! the Liberal party policy as distinct from Liberal Lead- er ÏThornson's policy. The Ontario Liberal Association, as distinct fromn the leader. Regardless of political leanings the seven above reasons fairlv w-cil caver the grouxnd for public consumption and ap- proval. "WITH ONE ACCORD THEY BEGAN TO MAKE EXCUSES" People are full of glib excuses for flot attending church, so a Lake Crystal, Minn., pastar hit back with the following parody: "'Why I Do Not Attend the Movies:" 1. The manager of the theatre neyer called on me. 2. I did go a few times, but no one spoke ta me. Those who go there aren't very friendly. 3. Every time I go they ask me for money. 4. Not ail folks live up ta the high moral standards of the films. 5. 1 went so much as a child, I've de- cided I've had ail the entertainment I need. 6. The performance hasts too long; I can't sit stili for an hour and three- quarters. 7. 1 don't care for some of the people I see and ineet at the theatre. 8. I don't always agree with what I hear and see. 9. 1 don't think they have very good music at the theatre. 10. The shows are hehd in the even- ing, and that's the only time I amn able ta be at home with the family. PEACE IS MORE TRAN A WORD With wars and rumours of wars, with armistice talks proceeding in Korea, with this continent being deluged with a f aise "epeace" carnpaign, an article in the Edison Roundtable says: "It is high time ta con- sider that peace is more than a word. It is more than a spot of ink on a piece of paper, or a sound on aur lips." In an, inspired democracy, what are th9ehements that make up peace?0 PEACE is living out the principles of lnspired democracy in obedience ta the guidance of God. PEACE is a new spirt. it is not just an idea, but people becoming different. PEACE is building unity, instead of fostering division. Division is the mark of our age- unity is the grace of rebirth. PEACE is taking responsibility for our own mistakes. Honest apology is the high. road ta honest peace. PEACE is ensuring that the prevailing idea on both sides of the conference table is riot who's right, but what'a, right. PEACE is acting on the conviction that the whole world is my neighbor. PEACE is using the absolute moral standards of honesty, purity, unselfishness and love as a basis for solving worîd problems. PEACE is reconciliation between mxen., Char- ters void of moral standards will neyer bring pence. PEACE is a vision of the world rebuilt, which begins in our own heart and home and then Is carried across the nation. Human nature can be changed. That is the root of the answer. National econ- amies can be changed. That is the fruit of the answer. Worhd history, can, be changed. That is the destiny of aur age. A GOOD THING TO KNOW Nobody pays for advertising but the non-advertiser, according ta the definition of advertising written some years ago by Professor John H. Casey of the University of Oklahomna, and appearing recentiy in the. "American Press." 1The - article goes on ta say, "Professai Ca'sey wrote: 'What is advertising? One faim of sahesmanship. . "'Purpase? To seil. "'Who pays for it? "'John and Mary Public says they do, indirectly. "'Solomon Isaac Business Man says he knows too well that he pays for adver- tisîng. "'But I say the customer does rot pay an advertising bill if the advertising is ef- fective, ef!iciently donê, run in the right medium at the right time, and is, in every other respect, right. "'For when the greater demand for goods is cmeated by advertising more goods can be manufactured in larger quantities, and shelves restocked at iess cost per unit of production per item o!finerchandise, in consequence of that created demand, either at iess cost or with mare quality at the same cost - which amounts ta the same thing. "'There you have the theory of mass production andi quantity buying packed together in a pecan shel. "'Yes, the merchant is sure he pays the advertising cost. But 1 say he does not, for the larger volume o! business the retailer can do, the lcss his percentage of ovemhead, of which advemtising is but one of many items. Na mare light, no mare heat, no more several other overhead items are required for $110,000 turnover than for $100,000. "'Well, if the customer doesn't pay and the merchant doesn't pay for advertis- ing - then, who does pay? V 'Whv, bless your soul! The truth o! the matter is that effective advertising is self-supporting, self-hiquidating. Nobody pays for good advertising, unless. if w .e rnust find sameone ta pay for it. I guess it cornes pretty near bcing the non-adver- tising merchant who pays - and pays and pays - whose overhead goes up as his sales volume goes down - he and the non- ad-meading customer who buys blind, fails ta read the ads and in consequence gets stuck with inferior, non-advertising goads, at higher prices than he needs ta pay'.", The tonl on the highways has been very rightly described as "Ontaria 's shame." Thijs year, a conservative esti- mate is that 1,000 will die and 20,000 will be injurc' and maimed in accidents. Robert H. Maclachlan, writing in the New York Times Magazine, has a pertin- ent word for aur times. He says: "It seerns ta me most urgent that we ail remember one thing: individual freedom combined wvith social reform depends as much upon giving as receiving. A free and progress- iv-e society can afford ta owe only a very iew people a living." and Distant Past Frein The Statesman Files TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Plans are being made for the celebration of the 6th annivers- ary o!

We don't know' wbc was in the car or how far it had come. It may bave only crossed the fields from same neighboring farm. The point is, the Fire Brigade' were delayed many minutes be- cause they couldn't locate the fire. In the case observed, the late ar- rivai o! the Fire Brigade had littie or no beaing on the fire as the barn was almost gutted by the time neighbors arrived. The point that the observer wishes ta make is that in case of a fire ini the township, be sure that wben you cali the f 'me de- partment that you tell them ex- actly where the fire is lacated and haw ta get there. It is flot enaugh ta say that the fire is at Orono or Sauina or at .Courtice, as places like these cav- er large areas. Sa, make sure that the Fire Brigade knows the exact location and the best way to get ta the fire. This may me- suit in another case in brînging the firemen in much less time, wben the lass o! time can result in the lossA ~ additional buildings and equipment. Let's emember this! Keen Observer. Statesman's Oldest National Advertiser Expresses Thcrnks Looking back over the file copies. of The Canadian States- jman for more than bai! a century we find Salada Tea Company is the oldest and mast consistent and regular advertiser thraugh ail these years Wbethem business ivas up or down, boom or deprcss- cd times, the familiar and popular "SALADA TEA" advt. was ta be found in the columns o! The Statesman. With such a long and happy business association with this well known tea company it was very gratifying ta the editor ta me- ceive the following letter from the Advertising Manager express- ing appreciation of aur co-apera- tion and bringing ta aur attention their 6th yeam in business, ta which we offer cordial congratu- lations. 459-463 King St. West Toronto 2B January 25. 1952 Dear Mm. James: Another year bas passed andi again we wish ta thank you and the staff of The Canadian States- man for your splendid co-apera- tion in pesenting Salada adver- tising ta the public. This year marks aur 60th anni- versarv w'hich is almost like sa. - ing the 60th year -e have uiseci the newspapers o! Canada for w'e went inta the papers xe' soon aftcr we started marketing aur tea. Froni the outset we had twa basic ideas. the first was ta give the fînest quality of tea we coulci and the second ta advertise it as1 widcly as aur purse would per- mit, and the yeams have vindicat- ed the policy. The latest proof o! this is the new building we are erecting in the Town o! Mount Royal, Que-5 bec. with a floor space o! 125,000t square feet. It will be anc o! the( most modemn tea buildings in th;ý worid ivith the whole process of! blending, packing and shipping carried out on ane floor.

Dcachman) The econamie position of Can- ada is stronger today than it has been in any other period o! aur histamy. 1 wrate, recently, a story entitled, "Will We Have A De- pression?" The role of the pro- phet is always dangerous. the task of presenting a -full analysis is difficuit.- There are taa many sides ta the problem. There are troubles in this world, most o! them o! aur own creation. Yet aur basic position today is strang- er than iA bas ever been before. This is. in part at least, the basis o! hope for tlhe future. 1 There has been a marked in- rcrease in aur industrial capacity. fiThe price of farm products is far above depression levels. There is a sane balance ta most of aur production but some sections of aur economny are. distinctly out of line. There are difficulties ini the way. Some spring from the tuncemtainty of world conditions. Despots are dangerous and neyer more so than when they revel in their own infailibilitv. There are signais which cail for caution. We are passing through a long periad of inflation. We have ac- cepted the welfare state. Labor combined with the CC.F. seeks steadily ta increase emplayment, but not production. It wants to reduce the hours of womk. When confronted with any problem lab- or cails for shorter boums and the employment of more workers. This miglit well be defined as sap- ping the fouridation of economic stablity. The Saturday closing of the banks was met by the C.C.F. with the suggestion that the problem could be solved by kecp- ing open on Saturday, empioying additional staff ta do the work. Thiat is a basic approach s0 far as this group is concerned. The resuit of such acton must be ta increase the distance between ef- fort and result, make things cast more in the hope that thereby labor might be enriched! Labo r acts as if scarcity was synany- mous with prosperity. The welfare state presenits us with new difficultieC. We are f0 grow rich by increasing aur tax- es. We are ta shorten hours of work so as ta give more emplay- ment. We are ta imprave the pos- ition o! the ave'rage mani by rais- ing prices. We have accepted the admonitions of Maynard Ke ' nes and applied themn in re- verse. We face the possibility o! war -perhaps in view o! the present tension we should sav the prab- ability of v.ar. We meet the situ- ation by preparing ta deepen the St. Lawrence canais thougb the conflict, if it cames, may be aver before the task is done. We are ta do it in a time of boom when costs may actual be double the cost of pre-boom diav«s. We shail do it taoo vithout the ca-aneration of the United States. This lux- ury niust bc prox-ided rcgarcllesýz of costs. This new highiway of commerce if its sponsors succeeci will increase the problems of aur railways-difficult as they a]- readv are. We shall aiso bp ask- ed for corroensatorv expenditureq in other fields, tht-v abject ta paying the cost without getting a share in the benefits. Meanxvhile taxation is inordin- atelv high. It wili be higher stili unless we regain aur sense of di- rection. In part this reflects the spirt of the time. Inflation is in- toxicating. It might be called an ecanamic bînge, or perbans a champazne one. We are ta be enriched by bubbles and illusions. We are told that ûxnenditures produce eninlov-ment. If we spend enouizl we Fhall have fuli employ- me.nt hbut if the exoencIimures uro- -lucP liiteIrl resiidts-%whlat then' Wili "'.astr 'incrr-asc'emome" n atîoii is enrrichc'd fot bv mont-v t stoendis but bv the- results o! its exrcnditure. For instance if wrý 'ould incrrasp oroduction by 20', the extra would corne pretty close ta paying the whole wage bill of the warkers in the manufactur- ing industries Of the nation-give It ta others if the workers did flot need it! WeU, what about the next de- pression? Why brlng that up? Depressions have been with us off and on since the advent of the industriaI revolution. Before that time life was more or less a per- petuai depression, a struggle for food. Now it's a battie for ma- tor cars. fur coats and long sum- mer holidays. Even, in modern times, booms do flot last forever. What proof havé we that this will be an exception ta the rule? It is time for a new appraach. A bard-headed analysis should be made of the strength o! the planks of aur present program. There is time before we have advanced toa far. Gavernments ought now and then ta take lessons from in- dustry. We shall strengthen aur economy by increasmng the vol- ume of investment, especially private, investment. There's a danger. Our tax rate is now high and gaing higber. Industry wil besitate ta invest if At fînds that a great deal o! its work must bc done for the state. Thrift is need- ed in ail our governments. It is necessary ta take care of aur ex- penditures, the time ta do it is heme and naw. The Dangers of a Welfare State "There is a canspimacy of labor. capital and the state ta deny en- terprise its reward. The state takes it away in high taxation. All ecanomic pragress is, by def- inition, labor saving; yet the at- titude of the trade unions. suc- cessfully maintained, is that they will permit labom-saving dévices only pmovided that they do flot in fact save labor.-From The Econ- omîst, London, England, July 29, 1946.
