Officers for 1948 are: President, Mrs. L. A. Reeves and W. T. New; â€" Canadians, like other humans, are made up of virtues and faults but judged by common standards they are a good people. After two world wars they realize their geoâ€" graphic * good fortune and are slightly astounded at their own productive feats. Never having known anythinz‘ except liberty, free institutions and freedom of choice, Canadians have taken these qualities in their civilization for granted. And it is difficult for them to believe that any nation deliberately would atâ€" tempt to base its society on the exact opposite of these fundaâ€" ‘mentn]s. The Union of Soviet Socialism Republics has been in existence now for 30 years. It has had a fair chance to ‘demonstrate the workâ€" nbilitty of socialism. What are the results of three decades of socialâ€" ist tule ? For decades the workers of the world have been urged to unite to obtain a better life. Under free enterprise in Canada and the United States, and under socialism in Russia, the workers kave indeed unitedâ€"and for that very purpbse. The union in the U.S.S.R. has been compulsory: that in North America voluntary and democratic. In Russia, trade unions were deâ€" stroyed in favour of nation wide state organizations under_ direct control of the government. In Canâ€" ada and the U.S. trade unions flourishedâ€"often in defiance of government departments. The ideological side of the arguâ€" ment is endless but, whatever the intentions or principles, never in history has socialism succeeded in spreading the wealth of a nation. On the other hand it most effecâ€" tively has spread the poverty. While men argue about the moralities of the two systems, the average citizen must have food, shelter and clothing. These aspects while not necesâ€" sarily final, are all important to those of us living here and now. The following table illustrates, from official figures, the practical differences between socialism and free enterprise.
