ra Canada: First There has been 'a good deal of discussion lately as to whether or not Diefenbaker SW Ig PE Sy 2 55 3 REG COLE can keep' his election promises. baker himself is supposed to have said it was not his place to keep his promises but that of the huge staff of civil servants paid to be experts in their various fields and "therefore to give expert advice and to find ways and means of carrying: out the policies put forth by the government. This is a large order for our civil service but it has been doing precisely such a job for years, broom likes to sweep clean and the speed with which some of the new policies are implemented may be a factor in retaining the Conservative victory. Specialists in the field of trade for in- stance seem to feel by and large that turn- ing fifteen percent of our trade from the U.S. is a practical impossibility. We are all'inclined to feel that commonwealth ties are pretty worthwhile. They set a won- derful example to the world of solidarity but the fact remains that we live next door to the U.S. that much of our trade with the Americans is based on quick delivery and includes items of 'immediate daily use- fulness.

The South-West Pickering fire committee met with council this week to discuss the matter, which was later brought up in council. Reeve Lawson said, "we must face the fact that in this area we are now past the stage of a purely volunteer fire brigade. Two full-time men are needed at once. It will not only help protect property but will be a con- sideration of any new industry." Deputy-Reeve Sherman Scott war- ned that before any great amount of reorganization is considered the mill rate must be kept in mind. "The mill rate has to come to a halt soon," he said, "or there will be a large turnover in homes if taxes go any higher here." It is estimated the two full-time men would increase the fire rate by less than two mills. The wage span would be from $3,100 to $3,600 de- pending on qualifications. The firemen will be employees of t the township the same as the police i and will come under the Township pension plan, new Brewer's street between Dundas and Mary streets are now being negotiated be- Ltd. and a group of Toronto real es- tate men.

J. Schwenger ! last December in his judgment in a. dairy arbitration case. He said: . "The gross value of 100 pounds of milk is not its cost of production un- der normal conditions, but what it will*bring on the available market. The net worth of 100 pounds of milk must be this gross return less all expenses of shipping and processing." No doubt the dairymen know more about the cost of producing milk than Judge Schwenger does. But they don't know more about the value of it. ; The value of any article of comm- erce is the price it will bring on the The notion that an article is worth what it cost to produce it has culti- vated among the farmers for many years, and has been responsible for most of the rural discontent we see today. ; Those engaged in other industries make no such claim. They realize that they have to sell their products at market prices or go out of busin ess, and they concentrate on kéep- ing their costs down. The farmers should do the same thing. The market is something they can't control. © But every farmer can' do some- thing towards reducing his costs. He can do something about. In this way he can become the master of his own business and in- dependent of 'government aid and government price fixing. The Rural Scene -- Published in Mid- land, UNION LAWLESSNESS MUST BE STOPPED Lawlessness grows by its own act- fvity; and the longer it is allowed to continue the worse it gets. Those who resort to it grow bolder with practice, and soon convince themselves that they are above the in order to attain their ends. This is particularly true of the labor unions." The fault lies 'with the government that refuses to main- tain law and order where unions are involved; and also with 'the legislat- ure whose members lack the courage to make the government do its duty. The outbreak of violence during-a strike in St. Thomas, in which flam- ing rubber tires were rolled in front of trucks that were crossing a picket line, is'a natural development of the government's attitude towards law- lessness during strikes. . And the fact that no action is be- ing taken against the. guilty parties in this case is an official invitation to strikers all over the province to do the same, whenever it suits their purpose to do so. The first duty of a government is to maintain law and order, and to protect the citizens in their right to go about their lawful business with- out let or hindrance from anyone, A government that refuses to do this has already abdicated its duties and should resign from office. Law enforcement officers who refuse to enforce the law should "themselves be taken into court and made to an- swer for the non-performance + of their duty. Not: only has Ontario no govern- ment 'with the courage to enforce the law; it also has no opposition party in the legislature with the: courage to prod the government into action. When such a situation .exists in.a country, what can the lawabiding citizens do? They can do one of two things: they can meekly submit tothe arb- trary rule' of irresponsible union bosses over whom the voters have no control whatever; or they can elect a dictator strong enough and courageous enough to stamp out the tyranny of the union bosses, The!

Watchman-Warder' BRITISH WEST INDIES TRADE " ENTHUSIASM for Canadian econ- omic aid to the West Indies is riding high, especially in the Atlantic Prov- inces. Presumably this enthusiasm results from the notion that when the Caribbean Federation, now in the formative stages, becomes a reality, Canada-West Indies trade' opportune. ities will be greatly enhanced, «Colombo Plan ' economic aid, as experience shows, has proven sing- ularly unalluring: as trade bait 'in Southeast Asia. There is no reason to suppdie- that 'Canadian dollar aid to the proposed Caribbean Federa- tion, with its socialist-tinged politics, its incipient nationalism, and its al- ready discernible propensity for pro- tectionism, will be any less disapp+ ointing in terms of future trade. Those who think Canadian taxpay- ers who scatter dollar aid around in the Caribbean will reap rich rewards in terms of expanded markets for 'this country's exports ought to pon- der the views expressed by Profess- or Duncan G. L. Fraser of Acadia University. Writing in The Atlantic Advocate, Professor Fraser remarks that "it is a matter of regret ghat a more practical view is not ng adopted with regard to theffwhole question of Atlantic Provinces-British West Indian trade... Under existing circumstances, the benefits to the Atlantic region of an extension of the West Indian market are:largely illusory." A number of reasons are advanced by Professor Fraser for these views. The most compelling, itiis clear; is the fact that neither the political nor the economic climate in the West Indies would be conducive to liberal trade policies. For the leftist trend in West Indies politics, together with the drive for economic self-sufficien- cy, even in manufactured goods, is likely to tesult in more rather than fewer barriers to Canadian exports.
