Hartley Dewart, K. C. Provincial Liberal leader, is wrongly inform- ed when he states that it is im- possible for prospective buyers of timber to properly cruise a limit being offered for sale in the west ern end of the province because of the depth of snow, was the statement yesterday afternoon of Mr P. Heenan Labor 'M.P.P. for Kenora. On the contrary, Mr Heenan said the cold weather and snow make it possible for timber cruisers to go" over the ground better than at any other time of the year, because it is with less difficulty that lakes and muskegs can be crossed. At the parliament buildings yesterday afternoon Mr Heenan was questioned by the Globe in The high ¢ost of living could be attacked froth five different angles ! and the best results would be ob- tained if all of these were applied simultaneously by all theu people, according to the theory of ir Komroff, an American writer, tion--not the nervous, feverish production, but a continuous flow from industry. 'In order to ac- complish this all members of soci- ety shouldu be active: continuous- ly. 'This would, uin itself, elimi- nate one of the causes of strikes. Strikes are seldom constructive, but are more usually destructive in their nature; certainly the re- action mustbe harmful ifiit is al- ways accompanied with increased costs. At this rate strikes react and reference to the statements made by Mr Dewart in a letter which Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, on January 5th regarding tenders being called for the right to cut timber on the area south- berth C' 59 and south of Minnie- takie Lake in the district of Ken- ora. Mr Dewart stated in his letter that he had been informed that only a limited number of notices had been issued by the Crown Timber Agent, that the sale had not been advertised in the papers of the district, and-that no time was allowed prospective tenders to cruise or explore the timber with about three feet of snow on the ground, and that it would be impossible for anyone to cruise the district before Spring or sum- mer. Mr Dewart inferred in his communication that friends of the information that the limit was to be put up for sale and that they had been thus enabled to cruise the area last fall. In explaining the situation as he understood it, Mr Heenan said that the owner of the limit next to the one being discussed had applied for a permit to cut ties This applicant's plant there: was no other timber section in the district he made application in the ordinary way for a permit. Under the old government it was the custom to grant permits. However, government took office, Hon. Mr Bowman adopted the rule--and this has never been previously disclosed--that no more permits -wac gent to Hon, Beniah Bowman | j as soon as the new: hit wage-earners even harder than they do the émployers. Accord- ing to the law of supply and de- 'mard, it would naturally follow that with a greater production of the articles necessary for comfor- table living the result would be a "decrease of prices. Society is fundamentally based on work ghd play. The unwill- ingness of so many people to do any useful work is one of the post war evils, and one of the main factors in the increase of ving cost. { = Profiteers will soon commence | to. fear the unrest confronting 'them and may adopt a more sane aethod of conducting their busi- mess. © But there will always be some who like to scoop up 'as much as opportunity will allow. Their selfishness mamy cause the people's patiénce to end, and re- bellious action to follow. It all depends on how many of this type there are in America whether or not the public will lose patience. President Wilson on his way to the west, told the people that the only remedy for the high cost of living iS co-operation between capital and labouru. He was not alone in endorsing this plan. Leaders of industry and the workers must pull together: they fect harmony can enly be brought about by perfect understanding. We do not hate and despise the things we understand. Less kick- ing, less striking, less hatred; more working, more willingness, more helpfulness, and greater un- derstanding, Although no actual gold os been shot from cannon in Europe, yet the war has left the world should be issued, and that instead all berths should be sold by ten- der. Dealing with the phase of the criticism that there was insuffi- cient time allowed to cruise the berth, Mr Heenan said that the limit could be reached within four hours from the nearest railway I station, and that it could be pro- perly cruised within a week. The Crown timber agent in the district sent out ua large number of noti- ces of tenders being called for, 'and in addition «it was advertised in the papers in Dryden and Ken- ora--contrary to the statements of Mr Dewart. The change in governments held fp the work in the lumber camps of the north, Mr' Heenan said, and. that was a matter hel|C was vitally interested in. There were only a few months in the year when men could be secured for the lumber camps, and when they needed the wuork. The de- much poorer; natural" resources have become exhausted. Wealth 1s not money. A certain Zechleguncs has been caused by the war: A recklessness of personal extravagance: an ex- travagance which on the surface tends to show that we are richer today than we were before the war. But this is a false notion. HIGH TEAS. From all sources in the trade reports, the ipossibility of higher prices in the near future is'defi- nitely hinted at. The London market has opened, and prices there are exceptionally high. The present holdings of 'tea by the Canadian trdde are said to be very light. Part of the increased demand is traceable to the prohibition lege islation, which has been enacted over so great a portion of the lay in getting cutting operations going on the Minnitaki Lake limit has resulted in many men being ; out of employment, and the plant of the company standing idle, N country. People have had to use something as a beverage, and the enactment of liquor laws has ser- ved to make the tea business pro- fitable. There must be more produc- must work in one direction.
