of farm labour could be carried out, _H°"- Ml‘- Thorson conceded that it was "n0! 8°m8 t° b‘ easy." He added:

"It Ls undoubtedly true that ln some areas of Canada. the supply of agricultural labour has been so much depleted that the situation ls very serious, whlle tn other plrts of Cmldl the lltuatlon ls not quite so bad. The department-s vitally concerned are the Department of Aeri- culture, the Department of Labour and my own department to the extent that the calltxig up pf men may make inroads upon the supply of ag- ricultural labour. We trled by the adoption of the agricultural policy that underlies order ln council R0. 3253 to prevent any further drain upon agricultural labour. in the hope that lf we could prevent the agricultural sltuatlon across

‘ Canada from getting any worse we should get by—— not any more than that-with our agricultural commltmenu that are part of our war effort. For that reason we decide‘ that we would stabilize employment tn agriculture. as far as posslble. of persons who are wholly or mainly employed tn agriculture and. subject to certain exemptions, prevent them from leaving agriculture. In other words, using language that perhaps ls not exact, we were freezing them ln agriculture. I wlll ad- mtt that thls does not fully meet the situation tn the areas which have been too greatly depleted. but that ls c. situation which will demand our very best attention."

Pressed by Hon. Mr. Hanson to say what policy, if any, the govermcnt had in mind, Mr. Thorson could give the House no enlightenment, beyond stating that the offices established by the Department of Labour were “encouraging the movement of men from one part of Canada to another, where labour is required."

Royal Canadian Mounted Police have just made I0 raids on the homes of alleged Fascists in Montreal, seizing documents and data which were taken to headquarters for examination.

Arrangements are now being completed to en- sure that bits of cloth gathered by tailors in mak- ing alterations to new and used clothing reach mills where they can be reclaimed and used in manufacture of cloth. Officers of the War Time Prices and Trade Board say there has been some complaints from clothing retailers and tailors that no adequate arrangements had been made to salvage cloth despite appeals for utmost con- scrvation. Now this situation is being dealt with and details of the salvage program are expected soon.

Mr_ Vining, formerly a well-known newspaper man, is in lVashington studying Canadian pub- licity in United States at the request of the Cana- dian government.

Fishermen in national parks are forbidden to use live minnows or other small fish undcr an order announced by the department of mines and resources. The parks particularly effected are Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia, Prince Albert in Saskatchewan, Banff, jasper and \Vaterton in Alberta and Yoho in British Columbia. Objective of the department's ruling is to protect the lakes and rivers from undesirable species of fish. Frequently live bait is brought in by visitors in minnow buckets. Often ihc buckets contain young fish. in addition to min- nows. and the practice of fishermen is to dump bait left in the bucket at the end of the day into the lakes.

The full Implications of the ex- pansion of Pan-American Airways are not yet apparent, but the tn- rtcaiions are that plane trans-por- tatlon may play it greater part. ln world commerce after the war than it has ever done before.

Mr, Thorson, isolationist

(Globo ma mu)

lieved ft was possible for North A- Sh,

merlca to hold Itself aloof from the quarrels of Europe? why should the House of Commons be asked to waste its time listening to a. b0- lated apologla, whtch merely N- vealed the parochial selfishness of Mr. Thorsonb outlook and the shod- dlness of his mental processes? Why

should Mr. Thorson's b31301“? 9H0“ t

o! judgment be ln any way relevant to the Lssue of Canada's recruit- ing Dolley?

What must strain the forbearance of intelligent Canadians ls Mr. Thor-son's allegation that before the war the great majority of the CB.- nadian people were as isolationist as himself. As an appraiser of pub- llc sentiment Mr. Thorson does not rate high-witness his pro-plebiscite statement that to his knowledge at least twenty-five counties tn Ontar- io uere opposed to full conacrlp- tlon. His allegation about the pre- dominance of tsolattonlst sentiment before the war was promptly and properly challenged from the Oppo- sition benches and he was bluntly told to speak for himself. But even 1f it were true, who were respon- sible for such. vogue ﬂs the isola- tionist creed. now shown to have been lnsensate folly, enjoyed? Were they not politicians like the said Mr. Joseph Thorson who runzvh the country sapplng and mining the tles which bound Canada to the Motherland? If there was a tem porau-y infection of political blind- ness ln Canada. dld lt not. arise from the misguided leadership o - fered by such politicians, who, pos- ing as great authorities upon lnter- national problems, championed the "hmltous policy of appeasement and opposed as wholly unnecessary even the meagre measures of re- armam-ent which the King Govern- ment proposed before the w-ar.

0 I I O

It may not be Mr. Thorson: fault that as the son of Icelandic lmml- grants he lacks a. real background of knowledge of the tradition of the British and Canadian peoples. but a man who has aspired successful- ly to Cabinet rank might. at least have acquired some appreciation of the tles that btnd the two coun- tries. He might then have realized that millions of Canadians can nev- er forzet. that the guardianship of Britain's sheltering hand. extend- ed for manv geiicratlorv, alone en- abled this Dominion to preserve its separate political Identity and spe- clal civilization and, even lf izratl- lllde for this has no place ln the vocabulary of Mr. Thorson. lt ls a sentiment deeply cherished toward Britain by Canadians who know their country‘; history.

For them the selfish preachmenta of Mr. Thorson and hts llk always fell upon deaf ears and always wlll, and they wlll-regard as sheer ef- fronteiy his audacious attempt to brand the majority of the Canad- ian people as etidorscrs of his own parochial doctrines. ‘They know that he and hts kind tn other lands have a terrible responsibility for the pres- ent bloodbat-h. And their fears wlll be confirmed that a total war ef- fort cannot be expected from a Min» lstry of which he ts allowed to be spokesman upon a vital issue.

N0 Easy Money

(Winnipeg Free Press) The ability of the Government to raise billions of dollars every year

— for war purposes leads some people

to think that the Government can secure all the money lt wants for any purpose that 1t could have done thls before the war and that 1t can do lt lri the reconstruction days.

What those people do not seem to understand ls that the Govern- ment ls not obtaining money from a. rlntlng press or from- an m- ex austlble treasure store. It Ls using real money. obtained 1n the only ways possible-through taxes paid by the people, of which they are fully aware. and through the real, not the lmaglnary. credit of the nation. Vast sums are borrowed from the people by the government which undertakes to pay back with lnterest. If the government borrows, say. flve billions during the war at: 3 per cent interest. there wlll be an item of $150,000,000 to be included 1h every post-war. budget. .

O

Tax burdens and debt obligations are not; imaginary, by any means, and there ls clearly a llmlt beyond which they cannot be carried without bringing impossible difficulties.

That Ls not to say that the gov- ernment mlght. not have spent more to help the country through the de- pression, or that the government wlll not be able to flnd money for recon- struction policies ensuring employ- ment after the war. But the thing to be clearly grasped by everyone ts that the government la merely agent of the people; ll; has no inan- clal resources of tts own- none apart. from what lt obtains from the people ln taxes or in loans to be repaid.

For certain reasons. that ls not sufficiently recognized now by some people. Heavy taxes are wlll- lngly paid in the spirit of sacrtflce. Every one is ready to lend money to the government to carry on the war. the people are better able to do both; than before the war, be- cause the national income has 1n- creased by 5Q p.81‘ cent.

I U

After the war, what wlll the 5ft- uatton be? wlll the government be able to obtain, without dlfftculty in. ivme Illppose all the money lb need. or ab

what those folk do not seem to see t: that ft t5 the people themselves who wlll foot the blll. There wlll be no fanciful way of financing thu post-war expenditures.

Some think, no doubt, that, the tax revenue can then be obtained from other people than themselves. But lf a costly programme 1s ex- pected from the government, ft will
