Some idcn of the expansion of this coun- try's productivity in 8 years is obtained by plac- ing these statistics side by side with thc corro- spanding records for I938. In that year Can- ada's "gross national product" stood at $5,141,- 000,000, cnd its"'gross national income" at $3,- 972,000,000.

Slzv-There seems to be little hope of an immediate solution of the problem facing the farmers of this Province; that ls of obtaining any relief In-hog’ feeding costs. or a higher price for hogs sufficient. 1o offset the Increased costs of foods.

If it Is true that little pigs are being destroyed and that. brood sows are being marketed the sit- uation lS really serious and calls for fir-tion on the part. of all who are lll a position to help.

Farmers have been advised to Iced their hogs home grown grains but the sup/ply ls not nearly suffi- cient for this purpose.

Now In order to help save the hog industry 1 would suggest. that for the next slx months. dealers throughout the Province handle hog feeds at. the lowest poslble margin-say five rents per hag. This would not. solve the problem but it. would glve thc producers a llLllC encouragement. and taking the long view would benefit deal- ers, and others, by the saving of an industry that will, no doubt again be profitable.

On the some date, October 24th, she Local Union was informed that. negotiations were proceeding in Toronto between the representa- tives of the Uhlon and the Com- pany and that the Charlottetown question was In process of settle- ment. The Company being the owners of the plant, It. was the only body capable of demanding or negotiating the return of the property, and the men therefore waited patiently from day to day while theLr comrades In all ports l cf Canada returned to w0rk.' Finally word came on the flight of October 28th that the Company , could not get control of their pro- perty or themselves employ their workmen, and that. the only prac- zlcal solutio was to return to the plant: as employees of the Gov- ernment at. the increased Interim wage scale. This proposal was put. to the local Union on October 29th and It was agreed to apply for employment. tio the Controller. Representatives of the Union snw the Controller at the plant. and It was arranged that 25 men would oe taken on the following day, the remainder to be employed as he plant resumed lta normal full- scale operations.

Of the 1946 national income figure of $9,- 464,000,000, more than half, $5,I13,000,000, went in wages, salaries, and supplementary labor income. investment income amounted to SI,- 885,000,000, and corporate profits before taxes, and dividends to non-residents, accounted for $l,l74,000,000. Labor is not doing so badly afier all, under Canada's economic system of free enterprise.

Other relevant statistics released by- the Bureau are arresting. The net income of agri- culture and other incorporated business amount- ad to $2,15l,000,000,--a sizable ”draw" for the former and "small business."

The personal income of Canadians more than doubled in the 8 years-expanding from $4,03I,000,000 in I938 to $9,383,000,000 in 1946. If that, as Mr. Gardiner reminds us, ap- plies to farmers as well as other groups, the ans- wer is: Why shouldn't it?

As is well-known Lord Tweedsmuir, before becoming Governor-General of Canada, was (as John Buchan, M.P.) the King's High Commis- sioner to the Church of Scotland of which he was an elder, as well as the son of a parish minister. The following excerpts from his writings will give some idea of his philosophy and breadth of mind:
