Under such a system the conditions of peace and leisure which are essential for the full ripening of spiritual qualities are not generally attained and millions of people sink, worn out, without ever having possessed the chance to bring to fruitage the talents which lay deep within their natures. In their quiet, serene moments, many feel stirring within them hidden powers and pos- sibilities, but they are saddened by the knowledge that these never can be developed. The National Livelihood Plan would seek to free mankind forever from this bondage. It would provide that a national livelihood in basic neces- saries should be furnished to the whole nation by the efforts of the nation's young people between _the ages of 18 and 26, as continuation of Upon the completion of their service they would pass into free competitive so- ciety, where, however they would be . provided during all of their lives with an adequate living furnished- by the labors of the fresh relays of young re- ~cruits. always coming up from the schools and taking their places in the ranks. - This plan sowhds simple enough; the social consequences flowing from it, However, are enormous, Poverty would be banished forever--and the + fear of poverty, Unemployment, as we know. it, and the fear of it, would iminished when all of the young men, at their most restless and dangerous age, were kept strictly and uséfully at work, and when their task is accom- 'plished would find themselves safely provided with a livelihood for life and therefore free of much of the incite- ment to crime. Best of all, perhaps, men would then return to the normal human practice of living by working (their own work) and not as now, by selling. Independence would then return, A man's well-being, and his very exist- ence, would then depend not upon markets and customers, foreign trade and employers, upon banks pr upon somebody else's "purchasing power' --but upon his own efforts properly directed and scientifically organized to further - not only his but also his country's safety and welfare, The plan itself is very simple. All boys and girls, when they leave high school at 18, would be put to work in a national industrial army for eight years, using machinery and organiza- tion to the utmost perfection. The stupenaous productive power - of modern machinery, If run at full capacivy--which cannot be done at present--would enable' these - young workers not only to supply all of their own basic needs, but would furnish the entire nation with a livelihood in such fundamental necessaries as food, clothing, shelter, transportation and protection, Their service completed, the young people would leave the national or- ganization and disperse to their homes where they would be provided for the remainder of their lives with all the necessaries of life to be furnished by the labors of the fresh recruits coming up from the schools and taking their 'Places in the ranks they have left. AL A) TET RT 7 z ; Thus a continuous stream of neces- saries would be kept flowing over the entire population, banishing poverty and the fear of poverty, involuntary unemployment and insecurity. Meanwhile the graduates from the service would pass into a society con- stituted precisely as is our present competitive, individualistic, capitalistic order, and here they would be free to pursue profit, fame, honor, art, fortune or any other object that at- tracts them. Thus society would em- brace two spheres--a sphere of youth wherein all able-bodied young persons would pursue,, first, education, and, second, a livelihood, and having at- tained both of these aims would find themselves set free to seek, under conditions of leisure and independ- ence, the aims, material or spiritual, which lay nearest to their hearts. The endless quarrel between social- ism and individualism would then be desolved, for while the period of youth under the impelling drive of education and a livelihood, would be conducted under a socialistic idea of concerted action, the latter years, after 26 years of age, would be passed under. a re: gime of complete, competitive liberty. Among other privileges would occur that of accumulating wealth in any amount. The writer believes that the socialist's rancor against capitalism is uncalled for if capitalism shall be re- | stricted to the traffic in luxuries and surpluses only, and if the necessaries of life shall be secured to everyone by concerted effort, Capitalism - could continue but its fangs would be drawn, It would then function harm: lessly and even 'beneficently as an in- centive to effort and provide a wide, free field of individual self-develop- ment, | of reason. i national service--ecalled in this book In the youth sphere of for convenience "the Commons"--no money whatever would be used since no products or services would be bought or sold, Money would thus be wiped, out altogether in that region where it is doing most harm. p In the opinion of the writer poverty can never be abolished so long as the necessaries whereby men live are bought and sold. To do so is only one step removed from the traffic in human life itself--a practice which our moral sense has already outgrown. We need but to pass on another step to see that a new emancipation proclamation is}. needed, one that shall free the popula- tion from the tyranny of markets, money and somebody else' "purchas- ing power," and shall secure to it not only its life, but its means of living. The plan promises a deterrent effect upon crime. A large percentage of our crime, since much of it is being committed by' young men under 26 years of age, would be inhibited by the fact that no youths of that age would be unemployed, idle, aimless, and often desperate, but all would be constantly and usefully. employed un- der strict discipline in the honorable) (1) service of their country.

A sidelight upon the protection| given by. the railway police to section- men, their families and property along the right-of-way in the thinly settled sections of the Province was given when four men were brought to North Bay jail on charges of trespassing by Constable H, D. Carrell, of the Can- adian National Railways Investiga- tion Department: Their arrest arose out of an alleged attempt to break into a supply car, used as a section depot, at a remote point on the Alderdale subdivision. One of the men was re- ported-to have been carrying a sawed- off .22 calibre rifle. The story of the arrest was typical of many others which have taken place from time to time in Northern Ontario. The analysis of the charge sheet of the railway police for the Southern and Northern Ontario Dis- tricts shows that during the year 1083, 44 cases of a similar nature were dealt with and prosecution made. For the first four months of this year nine additional cases have also béen record- ed. In many instances they prowl about the homes of the sectionmen, in many instances isolated houses, and demand meals and clothing. As the 'coming Provincial election. | names were put forward, but all nomi- sectionman' is usually patrolling his seven mile stretch of ted, frequently the family is alone. In other cases the supply depots are entered and | such articles as may be required by the trespasser are taken. Immediate- ly such cases occur word is sent to the nearest agent's office and a tele- gram despatched to the constable, or constables, in charge of the territory. The officer comes to the scene by the next train and so quickly and efficient- ly are the operations that during 'the last year only one case eparted was not cleared up.
