Welcome Price Reductions

Convinced of the uttwisdom of relying solely on the cost of living bonus to offset rises in the cost of living, the Government ha! dCCiJBd on direct action t0 reduce retail prices 0n a number of necessary commodities such as cof- fee, tea, milk and oranges. AnnOllflCcmfitlt l0

this affect made last night in a coast-t0-cuast_

broadcast by Finance Minister Ilsley will tin- doitbtedly be hailed with appreciation. The price reductions will be obtained by elimination of duties and taxes, or by- direct subsidies. In either case, the Prices Board will take "special precautions" to see that the whole benefit of the measures goes to the cOXi-Sl-imfl’. A fl-lftllfl’ measure is being considered to reduce the pro- fir margin of some retailers in beef.

Th: cost of these measures Mr, Ilsley esti- mates at roughly forty million dollars l. year. “In the light of the objective we are ltriving for," he says, "this cost is small indeed." The objective is to prevent inflation. Despite price ceilings, inflationary tendencies have shown themselves and this latest measure is in the na- ture of "a developing attack" against what the Government regards ils one of the gravest of wartime dangers.

Whatever division of opinion there may be among economists on this point, taxpayers lvill welcome the price reduction: with univer- sll relief. After so much tightening of the belt, we are allowed to relax it by a notch; and Mr. Ilsley pleasantly assures us this will riot hurt, but rather help, the ivar effort. Human nature being what it is, we shall all gladly take his word for that.

Post -War Planning Agencies

"i taking along similar‘ lines? The answer is .v.n in auarticle by l\lr. j. (j. Tlirgcon, M.l‘., chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Post-War Reconstruction, in an article in the current issue of (Tziiiadian Business, Mr. Tur- _- 'n|l'< (‘nllIIlllllPO consists of 35 members 0f the

There is, first of all, an Interdepartmental Committee under the chairmanship of General Harold MacDonald, dealing with soldiers’ re- habilitation. This committee reports to the Mui- ister of Pensions and Natlvflfll Hfifllm _AT_" other committee, set up by ortlcr-m-rotiticll. =5 called the Cgmmittee on Reconstruction. lts chairman is Dr. Cyril James, PrinciPfll 0f MC‘ Gill University. This committee also reports to the Minister of Pensions and National Health, who i5 chairman of a Cabinet Sub-Committee established for the purpose of dealing with rc- construction arid rehabilitation problems.

The Parliamentary Committee under Mr. Tur- geon was set up by resolution of the House of Commons to consider and report upon all mal- ters related to post-war reconstruction and rc- establishnicnt. It reports direct to the House, of course. If its deliberations may be judged from some of the questions its chairman poses in the article in Canadian Business, it should prove of value. After noting the contrast between the business and farming population of (Mada, 1nd the difference in rcttlru on capital expended in both occupations, Mr. lfurgcon goes on to say: “\\'hy is it that in the days of big stock mur- ket trading, uioney could be bnrro\\'c<l at a very l0\v rate of interest for pLiTpO-‘CS of pure speculation in bonds, but farmer.» who wished to borrow money to carry on their agricultural operations were forced to pay rates 0f interest which farming. as we have known it in many parts of Canada, cannot possibly absorb?"

That is but one of many economic questions which has puzzled our farmers. If the Parla- uientary Committee can answer them, it will have well earned its sessional indemnity

Arriving at work at 9 a.m. and leav- ing at 5 p.m. they have a 90-minute lunch period. Under the staggered hours plan, Ottawa work- ers will begin reporting for work at 8.30 am. while other department will open their offices as late as 9.15. In all cases thel-iours of work will be the same, but the staggering of hours will ease the load on transportation facilities.

Hon. W. H. Dennis urges the farmers to in- crease production laying there is'no excuse for not going into the hog business, adding: “There is another important factor well worth consider- ing, namely, the fertility of the soil. We know that a ton of manure from straw is worth $1.00, l. ton of manure from turnips is worth $1.00; from a ton of clover liay—-$8.oo arid from oil cake $18.00. In feeding hogs your feed would be largely concentrates and the increased fertil- ity of your soil would be very marked." He might have concluded his sermon with the re- minder that manure in the heap stinks, in dis- tribution lertilizes.

Mr. Henri Bourassa, famous 72-year old French-Canadian politician who hadn't spoken for l long time in a political campaign got a tremendous ovation by the thousands of people who crowded l hall at Outreniont in support of Mr. Drapeati.
