1n Hunan province, known as the “rice bowl" of China, it is cstimaletl that 7,000,000 persons of a population of 27,000,000 are ap- proaching or are suffering starvation.

To establish extra production in Canada, Mr. Dcifen-bakci- argued that the first requisites were equity and hcctirity in farm prices. “T0 remove the ceiling on farm prices today in order to bring them into line with world priccs in no way rcquires the rcmoval of the floor," he said. "No one suggests that. But we do say that with extraordinary and terrible conditions ex- isting in the world today, with fatninc stalking nineteen or twenty countries in_a manner the like of which has not been seen in four hundred yearsysurcly this is the time for extraordinary measures to assure the production in the one country where production can be expanded and would be expanded if the Government would give the lead.”

He quoted .\lr. R. j. Deachman, well- ltnown Liberal economist, as authority for the statement that slncc I03‘) manufactured goods have risen 24.7 [)£‘r cent, seeds 77-4 P" "mi iced 61.8 per ccnt, gasoline, oil and grease 23 pcr ccnt, building materials (51.2 per ccnt, bind- er lwinc 34.8 pcr cent and farm labour 110.8 pcr Ct‘l1l—-1lll essential factors entering into the cost of farm production.

nigh-way Death Toll Up

Sincg; {lib removal of war-time restrictions on travel, the deaths from highway accidents have shown an alarming incrcasc. This fact was emphasized by President lohn D. Buchanan at the animal meeting ycstcrtlciy nf the Canadian Life Insurance (Jfficcrs Association. _

“When wc considci" the lrcmcnduus losS-—~ inonomic and othcrivisc-froin automobile fatalities during the active period of lifeywe Tealize- how great an effort should be made to find a means of reducing the number of deaths from this cause," Mr. Buchanan said. “Pulr llic opinion seems to favor the almost indis- criminate issue of licenses to automobile drivers. provided there is no serious record azﬂiﬂil ptheinifyoung and old are allowed to drive cars,

igndaglgo many who are not physically fit."

Mr. Buchanan expressed satisfaction that

' tofu‘! death rate among policyholders, other

nr-tim servicemen. has shown a down- _ tend. "In the past 1o years," he said. ‘We witnessed a steady reduction in the ﬂtf11t5l¢f..of'deatlis.' particularly at the earlier 3W l" from appendicitis and from infection:

The in- crease in deaths attributed to diaper“ a, the Old?!‘ 3268. may be the result of the prolonging, through special treatment. of the lives of those affected. Mr. Buchanan expressed satisfaction at the work being undertaken by the Life In- surance Medical Research fund in the cardio- vascular field, where, he said, there is great need for intense study and knowledge.

‘ “The low_ death rate in Canada," h; added, ‘ should not blind us to the fact that there is still much room for improvement in our health rec- ord, as indicated by the number of men refused for tnilitary service. Many people live lives of intense strain, which probably is not conductive to longevity. Therg is also a great deal to be learned about the effect of diet 0n health. Al- rozvther. there is great opportunity for meas- ures which will further increase thg span of lifc."

It was pointed out that the expense or ad- ministration rate in life insurance policies can be cxpectcd to decrease unless there is a further substantial rise in living costs; As long as goods are scarcc, he said, there will be inflationary dangers, but life insurance is continuing to re- lieve pressure 0n the spending stream. One of the" effects, he said. is that the amount of the average néw policy is increasing, and sincetlic administrative cost of a small policy is almost a§ great as for a large Onc, DFQDOFIIOII-‘ltg ex- pense rates are being reduced.
