The only notable thing about Mr. Shaw’s remarks was his evident antagonism toward our association with the Empire in things that create liabilities. Why has this reversal taken place? ‘Fundamentally, no doubt, because Great Britain and America soon lost interest in enforcing the reparation clauses, while France adhered firmly to the treaty.

Mr. Crerar, the accredited leader of thé Westesn farmers, has new or been a believer in the Wheat Board. He opposed the plan in the camera In all, one sees the fine Italian hand of the professional politician. The farmer, industrious and law!- headed by natural bent, has been deceived and bewildered and befoq- ged, his creduality worked upon; his trust betrayed. It is the farmers’ leaders who to- day are responsible for not unde- eeiving the farmer concerning the Wheat Board. Many of them do not believe the Wheat Board will help the farmer, yet they continue to ad- vocate the scheme. Here one sees the result of the teachings of politicians who are to- day, throughout the West, as in the East, using the farmers to attain their own mercenary ends. They have filled the farmer full of the socialistic viewDoint; that he must have of the best; that he must fight the greedy capitalist; that he must force the grasping miller to dig down and pay more for grain and that he must, above 'all, put the speculator out of business. When partisans of the Wheat Board are asked if it would not be just as just to create a government monOpoly on boots and shoes, underâ€" “ear, canned salmon or am other item of Canadian production, the in- variable reply is that the farmer is the basic producer upon whom the whole country is dependent. We Know. How : mum's mama; The Financial Post represehtatfve' asked two ofi‘icials connected with the co-operative grain movement here the question. i Few agrarians who hold wheat un- til spring for the purpose of benefit- iing by theoretical advances in the “market, take into consideration that an advance of three or four cents a bushel, means a loss, rather than a gain, for so holding. Wheat is sub- ject to shrinkage, storage charges are heavy, handling is expensive, and laborâ€"additional t0 the autumn farm-handâ€"must be employed to take care of wheat held during the winter and marketed in the spring. : The Winnipeg Board of Trade very properly points out that the Wheat Board in war-time and the Wheat Board in peace-time are two diam- etrically difl'erent prOpositions. It .analyses the farmers’ claim that he 'is forced to sell at the height of the crop movement in the autumn in order to get money enough to finance threshing and harvesting expenses. By figures compiled for ten years prior to the war, the board show that by selling at the height of the crop movementâ€"«that is, at thresh- ing timeâ€"the farmer has, six years out of ten, made money.

Their pledges and their beliefs (for one cannot doubt their honesty) depend upon the fight they put upâ€"also their popularity. If they win, they will be the King Pinsâ€"until the Board fails to get the farmer more money. If they lose, they can blame it on the Liberal government. The Wheat Board controversy at Ottawa is devoured eagerly by read- ings of the parliamentary proceed- ings on the prairies. Every day one hears of the efforts or Progressives to induce the government to confirm its resurrection. Mr. Crerar knew the courts would kill the Wheat Board. He didn’t care if they did. ' The professionab poker player will always refer to Hoyle. He did not. He pressed to have the question referred to the Supreme Court .and the Privy Council if ne- cessary, for a ruling as to its legal- ity. Did he utter a word in parliament which could be construed as being argument for the re'-establishment of governmental compulsory Wheat marketing? But. Mr. Crerar, who has all the honesty and integrity of the fa rmef, also possesses some or those capabili- ties which go to make up efficient poker-players.

They proclaim the failure of prohibition. e They commend 80%anth control :, as the solution. A case in point is an editorial in a recent cepy of the9 Simcoe Reformer. After commend- ing government control and painting the evfls of pPOhlbltiOIl= the writer jail, which was half empty under 1 prohibition, is now full. The ,hotel keepers themselves say that boOt- l legging , is as flourishing as ever. , Premier Oliver says the law is just as difficult to enforce as was prohi- , bition. And there is plenty of other , testimony to the same effect. Gov- ernment control' does not solve the problem. It only makes it worse. Then again the evils of prohibition are magnified. You would think to hear some peOpI‘e talk that the evils of the liquor traffic exist only under prohibition. This is far from the truth. Everyone knows, and every fair-minded person will admit, that conditions under license were infim itely worse than under prohibition. Drunkenness was common and the license law was more flagrantly and openly violated than the O. T. As ‘ Government 'control is only another . form of license and British Columâ€" ‘ bia’s experience proves that the re- sult is the same. As to the members of the Ontario voting out the Ontario Temperance Act, there is one migh- ty good reason why they do not do it and that is because they know very well what the peOplie of Ontario think about it. And another very good reason is that the most of these members are of the same Opinion as the great majority of the Ontario el- ectors. There tis, of course, a noisy minority who are losing no opportunity of trying to discredit the O.T.A. The sooner these peOple realize that prohibition has come to stay, and that the people of Ontario have fully and finally decided this question. the better it will be for all concerned.
