Entirely Different

The working-man's unions are en- iirrly different from the others we him mentioned and have been formed for a different purpose. The w.irkingrnan's union represents his reaction to organized exploitation fiL'.".lllSl. himself. Without it. he -wmlld be left with no bargaining power whatever.

For the Government to tell him rim he must not strike, even after nil negotiations have failed, is

simply to tell him that the last elnments of democracy have disap- peared from this co'..ntr" and that henceforth his political status is to ho that of a worker in Communist P.'.l5SlB. Evm before the threatened strike l ms averted, the vicious circle of iiirrmslng costs more than balanc- im: increasing wages, was again in c'.:!onrc.

Amonglfhe Farmers Federation of Agriculture News

:1.-n-u

ing this column for the lost three weeks. Mr. Dewar is back from his cross-Canada. trip and in writ- ing the next one will tell you something of that important meet- ing of the C. F. A. in Victoria. It is with a feeling of relief, though not without o. little regret, that this writer sees his pinch- hitting task coming to 9. close. There has been but. little news in the three columns the writrr has written for you. He knows t. and never for a believed that you did not know is But the relating of straight agri- cultural news was never his object in writing this column. What he has tried to do, is to write some- thing, here and there throughout the column, which might start a train of thought in the mind of the Federation member, a. train

seven-per-cent freight increase in addition to the nine per cent they recently asked for. Just why in Government-owned railway such as the Canadian National should be so inslstant on such freight in- creases is hard to understand. it becomes easier to understand if one is prepared to believe the rumor that the privately-owned Canadian Pacific is the Railway which is functioning the drive in this latest request to the Transport Board.

If put into effect. the freight in- crease will cripple agriculture in this province and play havoc with it throughout the country, A 17- per-cent freight increase would add substantial cost to everything the consumer now purchases and would result wlthlnashort time, in aserles of strikes across Canada.

The Monthly Review

The last Monthly Review. issued by the Bank of Nova Scotia, says "Farm operating expenses were somewhat higher. This was partly because of a imoderate' the quoiation marks in this and the next paragraph are our own further increase in the prices of goods and services used by farmers . . Even so, when the estimates are complete, net cash income will pro- balbly turn out to be only 'moderately' below the 'except- ional' level reached in 1951,

The last sentence should be studied carefully by all farmers who have an academic interest in the use of language as a medium for the conveyance of unpleasant truths. The writer of that sentence had no intention of coming out frankly and saying that the farmer's prices are coming down and that his costs are going up. On the other hand. he had no intention of framing sentences which are contrary to fact: too many persons are eagerly looking for opportunities to write the editor. He is writing for a respectable in- stitution which, even in the dark- est days, could always in its annual report show profits running into many figures and which, during those dark days. had always striv- cn. logically or illogically, to uphold the farmers morale by assuring him that prosperity was Just about to turn the corner and saunter, grandiloquently down the main thoroughfare.

And so he uses the words "moder- ately" and "exceptional" with oil the finesse of a trained and ex- perienced psychologist - which, probably. he is. Telling the farmer that his income last year was. "moderately" below that of 1951, is applying the soothing ointment to the raw surface of his injury and

its logical conclusion, would en- able him to get a wider and grand- er conception of his place in a world severed by conflicting philo- sophers.

Only sane thinking can save it. And to be sane thinkers, it would EDDGM. at least to this writer. that all of us must understand there is a. fundamental difference between self-interest and selfish- ness. The farmer in demanding his fair share of the nat nal in- come. in organizing so hat he

ting that fair share. is not neces- sarially motivated by selfish am- bmom but by 3. self-interest Whlilh. if it be genuine, cannot but redound to the benefit of all To be effective in striving for that goal, it also appears to this writ- er that the farmer should take n greater personal interest in hi-1. organizations, that he should not be content with merely having them function as they have been functioned since their inception, and that, with an enlarged mind "05 bmmd bl custlom or the traditions of the past, he should widen everything about them from their foundations to their super- structures. He and his works must grow. He cannot afford to remain static: the universe about him 1,5 cxpanding.

In order to maintain his organi- Zlillon-5. freedom must be defend- ed and maintained, for without freedom there is no liberty of or- ganization. Labor has only one commodity to sell-it's labor. And that is why it must always have the unchallenged right to organize and to bargain collectively in or- der that it may sell its product at the best possible advantage to itself. The farmer is the primary producer of most of the world's 00d. He. too. must have the un- challenged right to organize and to control-lright to the door of the consumer. if possible-the price of his product. Only under such conditions are both Labor and Agriculture really free.

But in order for the Federation memiber' to have that collective security which he was seeking when he Joined his organization, he must always have a clear vision of the road ahead. He must al- ways know where his organiza- tion is going.

If you ever chance to be travel-l ling through France or Spain you'll see some of the Roman, bridges still in use after the'pass-i ing of two thousand years. But thel Roman roads are perhaps better! known in the mother country as an example of the Romans skill in engineering. Indeed, the whole Roman Empire had its network of excellent roads all lcading to the Eternal City, for the use of al'mlcs.l etc. And even to this day travel- lers frequently come to sections of tolerabiy good roads along which the Roman legions had marchedi

Lastly there is the debt of lan- guage. Latin was the language used by all educated persons through- out the Mlddle Ages. It was in fact the csperanto of the period since men could express their thoughts in a language familiar to all. .

Today Latin is a 'dead' langu- age and more and more we are getting back to using words of Saxon origin. I -
