(Continued Next Week) Farmers Realize- Inflation Danger . nmr Market gardeners in the Grims- by district show a sane appre- ciation of cconomic_facts, claims The Wind:or Star. A representa- tive number of them, when in- terviewed, made it plain that they do not expeet, or desire, extraor- "dinarily high prices for their produce. They realize the _dan- pers of -inflation. They know what troubles follow the tempor- ary advantages of fantastic values 'placed on food. Probably a general survey of farmers throughout Canada would reveal substantially the same view, There are a few, of course, who are all for inflated prices, and these, unfortunately, are the most vocal, They can create the impression that all farmers are seeking the immediate benefits of inflation, and- are unable to see the perils of such a develop- ment. But that is not a true picture. The average Canadian faimer 3s cound. He wants, of course, a fair price for his pro- duce, but he does not seck to fatten on human suffering.

After dinner the Churchill fam- ily" and guests played the game of asking what each person would like most to do in the world if he could have his wish. Younger mem- bers of the family were being cross-examined by Churchill when suddenly Miss Holle turned the tables and asked him what he would most like to do. Without a moment's hesitation, Churchill flashed back: "I should like to be prime min- ister of England." At that time he had held most of the important jobs in the cab- inet. He ~had been minister of war, first lord. of the admiralty, minister of colonies, chancellor of the exchequer, minister of muni- tions, home sgcretary and head of the Board of Trade. But he had never been prime minister. " "And it 1 were Prime Minister," Churchill continued, "and I had the right man in the White House to work with, one thing 1 should do would be to. hold regular trafis-. Atlantic conversations with the President of the United States, 1- would forge between the United States and the ~British- Empire a real alllance," an inseparable part- "nership." = ' The Sterling Dollar Later Churchill sketched on a pleco of paper pictures of the Am. erfcan dollar bill intertwined with the British pound sterling note, "Give that to your father," he said to Jimmy Roosevelt. "And tell him that working together we can make the pound sterling and the dollar rule the world. We can es tablish a new currency." - What would you call 11?" ask. ed Jimmy, 4 "I would call It," replied - the man who ten years later was to see a great deal of Jiramy Roose- velt's father, "t would: call it, the Sterling Dollar." : .
