I Those Horizontal Increases

It was hoped, following the report of the Tourgcon Royal Commission, that her- izontal freight increases would be abandon- ed altogether as a means of improving railway revenues. The unfairness of this system of freight increases was clearly pointed out by the Commission. Unfortun- ltely it did not suggest any legislative amendment, but stated that the Railway Act; in its present form gives to the Trans- port Board ample power to deal with such matters. The following excerpt from the Commission report is worth recalling in this connection: .

”The Canadian shippers and consignee.-3 who complain of the effect of horizontal percentage increases are (1) producers who are situated at a great distance from the markets they seek to reach and (2) con- sumers who are far removed from their sources of supply; and in some cases the same person or corporation may be both :1 producer and a consumer. Producers and consumers in the United States with its large population have the advantage of a great number of widely distributed market and supply centres. The long haul is less in evidence there than in Canada. In this country, on the other hand, it is noticeable to what extent Central Canada, that is the eastern portion of Ontario and the west- ern portion of Quebec, has become both the market centre and the supply centre for the rest of the country. Hence the long haul and the adverse effect of hor- izontal increases applied without abatement over the full length of that haul. Hence also the inevitable result of the continuance of this flat horizontal increase policy: (1) a greater and greater concentration of in- dustry in Central Canada (because freight rates are one of the factors in such cases), and (2) consistently rising prices for goods shipped to consumers zn distant regions."

The expanding canned foods industry in Canada produces goods valued at more than 5200,000,000 per year. With canned foods generally taken for granted, a Fed- eral Department of Agriculture publica- tion does a good service by recalling that October 23 this year marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of Nicolas Appert, the man who made canning possible.

untroubled period of co-operation with the west. As the Winnipeg Free Press points out, there is acute dissatisfaction in Japan with her present relations with China. An- other disquieting symptom is the election of a hard core of right-wingers who were active in nationalist movements of a rather dubious kind before the war. If Premier Yoshida should lose his grip, these people will gain in strength and "their doctrines will grow more acnimonious as they feel they can with safety drop the mask which they now are wearing for prudc-.nce's sake. They are the custodians of Japanls old na- tionalist traditions, with its mixture of mil- itary arrogance and industrial concentra- tion, and they will not easily yield.

Premier Yoshida can only begin to be in serious trouble if Japan's trade is blunted and blocked by artificial restrictions by the outside world so that her huge growing pop- ulation cannot find means of support. Then the challenge on the Right will grow; and there will be a revival of Communism. But in Japan it always is the Nationalist rather than the Communist challenge that is to be -dreaded.

Although not a native of Prince Edward Island, the late Rev. Father Baines was very widely known and his genial smile land hearty greeting will be missed not only :by his parishioners of the Holy Redeemer lChurch to whom he ministered so faith- fully, but by all our citizens. His death is la reminder of the devoted service which is ibeing performed by the members of the lRedemptorist Order to which he belonged, land which has done so much for this com-

imunity in practical as well as in spiritual ?matters.

was presented to him by Napoleon in 1809 and the "House of Appert" is still an im- portant canning organization in France.

After Appcrt's discovery, the canning in- dustry spread quickly to England, Holland and America. The early canners believed that the preservation of canned foo de- pended upon the exclusion of outside air. it was not until 1860 that Louis Pasteur proved that microorganisms were the real cause of spoilage and that the heating ap- plied during the canning process killed the organisms. ,

Although the canning industry. is new highly mechanized, and bears little rc- iemblance to the experiments of Nicolas Appert, this early investigator will always be rated one of the great "Benefactors of Humanity."

i Problems in Japan

It is highly significant that in the first freegelection held in Japan since the end of the war, not a single Communist was elect- ed; in fact, the Communist party lost the 22 seats it held in the last parliament While Premier Yoshlda's Liberal Party lost some 50 seats. it still was returned to pow- or with a good working majority.

The election, in short, confirmed the Japanese Government's policy. of co-operat- ing with the westand, above all, of allowing United States troops on Japanese soil in a pact of mutual security between Tokyo and Washington. ,-Thiai-was-the - -central -issue

Bertrand Russell. according to the Print- ed Word, claims that folk with the least security laugh the easiest. To support this ,he says that primitive people living in a , jungle laugh even after a tiger has jumped out at them, providing he missed them. These are people with no security; they just happen to be alive; and yet they are good-natured about it, according to Lord Russell, and carry on amusedly, poking fun at one another. If this is so, the present age should be one of hilarious laughter. Even with some security having been at- tained from some old diseases like small- pox and the like, and with pieces of paper stating that the recipient is entitled to cer- tain sums of money, being rebates of part of tax money, the citizen of a modern state has plenty to laugh at. As the money drops in value while he clasps it and bombs threaten him while he plans for the future, he can take refuge in the New Testament admonition to quit worrying. If he keeps smartened up andkoeps trying, he can get along on the basis that the only securityls a sense of insecurity. This is the sense of primitives and the early settlers here had it too, roaring at a hoe-down, but with gun handy. y .

The wind today is woolly us an old fat sheep

Bumping along white against green in the pasture lot,

The wind is fat with summer, sleepy as B. cow.

And sun-brown hay, honeysuckle scents,

And the black earth smell of com Cracking its knuckles in the night Stretching itself.

"Parrots V Libel Laws"

(Brantford Expositor)

g An interesting point of law has been brought to public attention in correspondence to The Times. of London. Referring to an edit- orial in "that esteemed newspaper, Rt. Hon. Lord Justice Asquith in- quires whether a person can sue a man who trains B. parrot to ut- ter defamatory remarks about him. The eminent jurist even drafts I. statement of claim as fol- lows: "on or about August 21. 1952. the defendant, by his duly author- ized parrot, published and spoke of and concerning the plaintiff. the words following, that is to say: . . ." His Lordship then says that the sulphurous expressions would be listed in their proper place.

The correspondent ask.s,u few questions which lawyers might well ponder in the event that they may be faced with A case of this nature. "Would.-an application suc- ceed to sirlkeu out such a state- ment; of claim as bad in law on the ground that a parrot cannot be an agent?" he asks. -

Then he answers his own ques- tion by saying: "Possibly. but the pleadefs ingenuity would not be exhausted. he would probably be allowed to amend his pleading by treating the parrot M a. piece of mechnnismrset in motion by its owner. much as n in-nmophone re- cord contoinlng a libel is set. in motion when played through.

-Good Sleep Helps Success In Studies

(Moon Jnw Times-Honld) Educutionlst: are forever figur- ing out what is the matter with the boy or girl who happens to fall in examinations. There are almost as many theories as teach- ers or pupils. but none ever reach the conclusion that the teaching system may be at fault, and per- haps it is not.

In an eastern city in. few years ago, -3: member of the board of education hazsrded the opinion that too many youngster; were going to school without break- fast. when the story first receiv- ed publiclty it was taken for grant- ed these were children of the poor, who could not afford breakfast. and that hunger gnawing at their vitals prevented that close appli- cation to study that would ensure success.

Investigation by the healbh de- partment of that city disclosed the fact that children were going to school without breakfast, not because there was no food in the house or not time in which to eat it. These young people of the schools were out until all hours nearly every night at social func- tions of one sort or another, ate meals before retiring, and were consequently not in a fit condit- ion to study effectively, no matter how excellent the instruction im- ported by the best. teachers ob- talnable.

The children can ho'more burn the candle at both ends than their parents. without paying the penal- ty of their folly. The cause of fail- ure may be traced in many in- stances to want of parental con- trol. There are so many things going on for the school children
