Even in the years 1935 to 1988, which were supâ€" posed to represent the normal conâ€" dition, countries like Greece and Portugal were living on an average diet of 2,500 calories. ‘As some lived well, it is obvious that even in the comparatively lush years J)rivation was widespread. Italy and Turkey were faring somewhat better and Germany and Austria were well above the average in the food reâ€" sources necessary to maintain a generous life. ‘ in onntiond ue i wl ce ind cb ainiiint t ty t iabontsoi lt hk ies ind s d a Li t i1 fiowed back into plant and equipment, {his yeas, J“; one Billion, 800 illion dollars to keep employment and production at a high level. It would be well just to study all this, It has been fairly generally agreed that a diet that provides a minimum of 2,500 calories per person per day is essential to the Yreservation of life and health. n the days before the war all Europe enjoKed at least that basic minimum, while in most of Europe the average was 3,000 calories or better. At the same time the government, this year, collected one Billion, one hundred Million in hidden taxes from Canadians aside from income tax, and in November the Minister of Finance added a new excise tax of 25 per cent on many home necessitics. While all this was going on the Minister boasted that the current surplus would run to some 600 Million dollats. But out of all this muddle, the government com?elled farmers to lose over $300,000,000 on food shifi;ed to Britain while closing outside markets. At the same time Canadian private enterprise on its own, 9. Source INDUSTRY AND FARMERS BILLION HIDDEN TAXES Now let us get the broad picture on a national scale. The governâ€" ment‘s Billion Dollar complex has run away with its judgment and has led the public into its own state of confusion. Now, belately, in an attempt to recover some semblance of sanity, Mr. King nn! his ministers bring in a bill placing Canadians under a control never before experienced in peacetime. GIFTS AND LOANS Having given Britain loans and gifts of more than 3% Billions to support buying our food products under signed, longâ€"term contracts, the government permitted buying in the USA until we went in the hole another Billion and ran short of dollars. Then we clamped down [.9m MARMIE OM EOEA DHa BAIURV C . NEX 1EMIpEC O by government decree and started Eo;;o“;ng _A loan of 300 Million was followed by an attempt to get more. It was declined. Now having shown in previous articles that farmers, ‘factory workers, white collar employees, pensioners, business, indeed the whole people are in a less favorable position to save and maintain former living standards, it will ge generally admitted save in govemment circles. A simple test is to tafe the week‘s w&ge check and find what it will buy totfny. That will measure personal prosperity. BILLION DOLLAR COMPLEX "The worse deception in Camada today is the belief that we are groaperoul. Granted that never before were more people employed at igher wages; that factories are producing and selling more than ever and we seem to be at the peak of unprecedented prosperity. Yet we are living in an Indian summer and some sort of winter cannot be far behind. gut the broader view is the truer view." . "How have we been apparently prosperous? The answer is we have done it by not really paying our way, nor really balancing our books, nor getting along in the soundway of business. We have been living not upon our earnings but upon our savings, and what is even more artificia), upon our loans." The Gazette, like this series, simply attempts to get people to see the whole picture in its true light. TEST THE PAY CHECK This new series of articles has attempted to ;iet readers to think for themselves on whether federal government policies have led to a prosperous condition across the board in Canada. Facts have been quoted from official records that clearly show a false prosperity. This view is now supported by The Montreal Gazette, Dec. 12, which states in part: INDIAN SUMMER LIVING ON SAVINGS # iC "E4 oC on “""4, Miss Edith Chapman, Red Cross jigger.

It is hard for us living on a continent where food resources and food consumption have imâ€" proved over conditions existing beâ€" fore the war, to realize how S&)tent a weapon food has become. rvaâ€" tion is the great threat of our time. What we do about it will deâ€" termine what will happen to our world. It is not an adequate answer for us to shrug our shoulders and uz that we have enough and rro- bably if Europe hadn‘t involved herself in the middle of another war she would have had enough too. That mnr be irrefutable loxfc, but it means less than nothing to a man who is wlmhinfi his wifge and children starve, and is starving himself. That is the danger point in our world. Not Germany or Rusâ€" sia, but hunger. It is hungl:ir that gives communism with its big and empty {romim its opportunity. We might as well admit it. We, the haveâ€"countries, are on trial. If we do not willingly share our abundâ€" ance, in the process of time we will lose it to the desperate ‘creeds that feed on misery. Boon for Bumpers Remember that this does not inâ€" clude Britain or Ireland where diets have been sharply restricted, nor the more or less generouslyâ€"fed Scandinavian countries. It does n mean that the remainder of Eup% is well fed. It means that the reâ€" mainder of Europe is under the domination of Russia, that in a time of world scarcity has had bountiful harvests. She has someâ€" thing to spare for those counfries under her influence, something to offer to the starving millions of Europe that are not yet under her dominance. \ The Marshall plan countries represent one half of the total population of Europe.
