CIIARLIITTETOVVN, TIIUIISDAY. MAY 31, 1951 Newspaper Postage

Although Mr. Drew is national leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, the Official Opposition, and ably presented the arguments against the startling newspaper postal rate increases before the Commons, the question is not one which indicates a division on party lines.

In Canada all parties are concerned that the Freedom of the Press be maintained and that the Canadian people should have available the best and most rapid dis- tribution of news and views on all matters which affect the world, the nation, province and neighbourhood.

The increase, as it affects medium sized papers (including The Guardian) is from a cent and one-half a pound to four cents, slightly more than a 166.6 per cent jump! Costs have gone up, of course, in every- thing but,the present boost in post office distribution sccms altogether cxccssivc. It may be noted that in the case of larger papers carrying whole sections of advertis- ing the ratc was already four cents a pound on everything in excess of 50 per cent of reading matter. This means that the increase will fall chiefly on those pa- pers which, because of limitations of press capacity and of advertising potential, have all along observed the approved balance between advertising and other reading matter. So far as The Guardian is con- cerned, should the proposal be adopted it would mean an additional 319,000 per year which would have to be passed on to the advertisers and subscribers. -

'l'in1e was when it was deemed a laud- able ambition for a young man at the threshold of his career to dream of making a fortune and at the same time laying the groundwork for some great new industry

changes taking place from month to month in all items except milk used for manufacturing purposes. It is necessary to have a "bench-mark" or starting place from which to estimate milk production and utilization in the various categories and the 1951 census will provide this "bench- mark." The statistics from the census and sur- veys made by the Bureau provide a. fairly complete picture of the dairy industry and the changes that take place in it. Before 1900 most of the milk was used on the farm and much of the butter was made on farms and sold in nearby towns and vii- lages. The factory cheese industry made rapid progress in the last quarter of the 19th century and afforded a market for milk which was exported, in large part, in the form of cheese to the United King- dom. Since 1900 the situation has changed from one of home use and home manufact- ure to production of milk for use off the farm.

Manufacturing industries now use about 56 per cent of the milk production, fluid sales account for 23 per cent, and the re- mainder is utilized on the farm. The num- ber of dairy cows kept for dairy purposes and total milk production have risen with population needs in Canada, but a decreas- ing percentage of our milk production is being exported.

If potato acreage reduction means more grain to feed livestock, farmers may be in the happy position of eating their cakl: and having it too.

An increase of 16,000 in the size of the British Forces has brought the total to 809,000. This is 100,000 (14 per cent) higher than six months earlier.

which would provide both goods and em- ployment, thereby contributing to the hap- piness of his fellow men. People who hold such ambitions today are few. Not be- cause the ambition no longer exists, but be- cause governments have made it well nigh incapable of fulfilment.

Consider, for example, the plight of the budding captain of industry in socialist Britain. A glance at the report of the Com- missioners of Inland Revenue reveals that only 86 persons in that country have earn- ed incomes of 317,700. Ten years ago there were 6,560 persons in this earned in- come bracket. Thai. is not the sort oi earning power which gives people an in- centive to invest in new enterprises, to plan for a new industrial revolution, to give expression to creative enthusiasm which will mean more jobs and more security.

In Canada, this retarding ailment of the body politic has not advanced quite so far. It is nevertheless present. The higher the level of taxation. the slower the pace of a country's inriusirial expansion. For it is private inn-st.ment which creates new en- terprises. Taxation which takes away this supply of capital results ultimately in cconomir stagnation.

ESE: llalry Statistics

Special attention will be given in the' .1951 census of agriculture to the collection of information on farm dairying that will facilitate the preparation of current est- imates of milk production and utilization regularly made by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and Provincial Government dc- partments, as well as provide a statistical picture of farm dairymg in all parts of Canada.

Since dairying is practiced by so many farmers, it is believed that the collection of information from a sample of 20 per cent will provide accurate figures. Ac- cordingiy, only one farmer in five will be asked the questions relating to dalrying. Basic information will be obtained on the number of dairy cows kept on the farms as of June 1, also the quantity of milk pro- duced in May, the quantity sold in May in the form of fluid milk and cream, and the quantities of fluid milk utilized on the farm for human consumption, the making of but.- ter and cheese. and of whole milk fed to live stock.

Surveys conducted by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and Provincial de- partments provide monthly information on the utilization of milk by manufacturers and estimates of the production and use of milk on farms and sales for fluid use. sam-

Government-set trucking rates for gravel are a matter for expert appraisal but it might be noted that a fair rate is to the advantage of all because otherwise overloading and speeding to help truck- men make ends meet would soon play havoc with costly roads.

Saskatchewan Government seems to have money to play with these days.

It was not generally known here that the Bessboroughs had recently been be- reaved. Lord Bessborough, former Gov- ernor-General: has just acknowledged messages of sympathy from Canadians in the death of his son. George St. Lawrence Ponsonby, 19, killed in a car accident in Western Germany. He was born in Mont- real in 1931. Viscount Alexander, Gov- cmor-General, and Vlscountess Alexander, received the following message from Lord and Lady Bessborough: "We are most grateful to you both for your kind message of sympathy. May we convey through you to the people of Canada for whom you speak and from whom we have received many messages an expression of the com- fort we derived from their kind thought of us in the irreparable loss of our Canadian

born son."

l'RlVA'l'l'J BANK NOTES

media

In early days, private firms exercised the privilege of issuing their own bank notes in this Pro- vince, and these notes proved of such general convenience that .1 bill introduced in the Legislative Council in 1840 to prohibit the practice was promptly given the

"three months' hoist." The reas- ons outlined in the resolution recommending postponement of

the bill throw an interesting light on the fiscal economy of the time. The resolution states:

"Until a Bank is established in this Colony on such principles as shall entitle it to public confid- once. this Committee sees no good reason to prohibit the cir- culation of Private Notes, as con- templated by the Bill now before the Committee; particularly as it is a matter of notoriety that the only Private Notes in circulation in this Island are at a premium of Fifteen Pounds per centum over the Treasury Notes of this Colony. and eagerly sought after by merchants and traders, as a mode of remittance to Nova Sco- tla; and no complaint, by petition or otherwise, has ever yet been made by the people of this Colony against such circulation, to the knowledge of this Committee."
