‘llricei Ceiling Problems

Canada Ind the United States are both en- desvoririg to fight wartime inflation by price fixing, but the methods employed are quite different. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has given Canada an over-all, hard and fast

'ce ceiling which it is determined to maintain. The U. S. administration has been followinng the plan of frcczitlg prices on specific articles which show <i-r11.< 11f rising too high and too fast. Generally spP-lbiiiz. however, prices have been left uncontrolled and 11s s consequence the whole U. S. price structure is still rising, with emharras" '1‘ rosulls tn this country with its strict ptli of price control.

bearing on the domestic beef supplies. As a re- sult of this situation the Canadian Prices Board finds itself in a dilemma. Its policy is to main- tain ample supplies of the necessities of life but its price ceiling policy is operating to drive beef cattle to the foreign market.

Lack of uniformity in anti-inflation procedure in the two countries has raised another problem for the Board which can be costly to this coun- try. The Trade Board has adopted a policy of paying subsidies on ticccssitcs of life to permit their continued sale under the price ceiling. This applies to imported goods and it can readily be seen that if the price of a U. S. article continues to rise, its importation into Canada at a higher price involves an increased subsidy payable by the Commodity Prices Stabilization Cor- poration to the importer. Though en over- all freezing of prices in the U. S. would not put an end to the payment of subsidies on im- ported goods, it would give the Stabilization Corporation protection against higher prices in that country-

The foregoing are cited by the Monetary Times as evidence of the difficulties Canada is encountering as a result of the disparity in price control procedure in the two countries. Both Washington and Ottawa are awake to the pro- blem and there ere intimations that the policies will be brought into closer conformity. It is known that President Roosevelt is not satisfied with the progress being made in his country in the fight against inflation- He has intimated that new measures arc contemplated and if they prove to be along the lines of greater price c011- trol in the U. S. they xivill simplify the prob- lems of the Canadian Wartime Prices Board.

The first objective of Selective Conscription is to get for this year 300,000 persons for the armed forces, for the war industries and for the farms, and to see that the right people go to the right jobs. But it will be done in In orderly manner. lt must be achieved by preserving s balance be- tween the supply of manpower, the supply of raw materials and the productive capacity of in- dustry. Those are the salient points made by Mr. Elliott Little, director of the selective service scheme, in his illuminating talk to newspaper pub- lishers in Toronto. There was s disarming candor in his words. a desire to show all his cards, He took press and public into his confidence. He cautioned against expecting speedy action. “Let us be sensible about such matters," was his ad- vice. While compulsion will apply to men and boys it will not be felt by women. But "when women are needed l am sure," he declared, "they will be atixioits 1o help. The desire of nttr wo- men to serve and sacrifice is at least equal to that of our ntcn "

To the Electors of King's- A

Kings County is a small constituency but it ls ths percentage of “Yes" votes that will count for or against us when the ballots are counted. 1

Every “Yes” vote is a nail in Hitler's colﬁn and no one can drive home your nail but yourself, by going to the poll on plebiscite day and marking your cross after the word “Yes” on the ballot».

Kings County must not. fail. The polls close at 8 p. m.
