FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 15¢. l9“

Mr. Gordon's Warning

Some very sound advice is contained in the address given last evening by 1\Ir. Donald Gor- don, chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, oti the subject of civilian supply. Recent military successes have accentuated the tendency to “let down" oit the co-operation and patience which arc tieetlcd in order that ottr supplies may be stretched to their litttit. Against this tendency Mr. (iOftltlil wartts in strong terms.

The stipply- situation. he poiitts out. cannot be expected to show signs of rapid improve- ment. Iii the field of titctals, for example, the requirQtts of war still llllht give place to tivilial Ihiitiretiiciits. Some alumitiuiti may shortly be l‘('lt‘1lSt‘(l. but on the whole we cannot expect niuch lllllll('tlllll€ iinprovctltetit. A few washing-macliitics, sortie stoves and electric irons and a few other ltotiscltoltl appliances ate being tnade, but it will be some time yet before: this production reacltiss ll!l_\' sizealtle volume. Iti textiles and clothing. the sitpply is not and cati- not be adequate to lll\'(‘l all requirettiertts. 'I‘h~: food supply, by and large, is abundant and nn one tiectls t.» ivin-ijt- about any general shortage in that field. zihlttitigh "spotty" shortages are bound to be cxpcriettcctl front time to time. But no real hardship is involved in any of these civilian shortages. Coittparcd with the drastic rationing which is still necessary iii the United Kingdom, iii Rizssa and lll Cliitia—tiot to lpeak of ctiritty cointtrics—Cztiiatlians have no reason to cotiiplaiit.

.\Ir. Gordon asked his hearers to reflect upon the probletii; that war brings. There is first of all the lfflllPlltlllllS diversion of pro- ductive capacity to Supply the huge demands for war in this the ntost costly war in all history. Second, is the fact that the Germans and jap- lnese have ctit off the sources of the supply of malty raw tttaterials, attd have made shipping difficulties vastly tnore complicated. Third, is labour and the fact that not far from half of oitr working force is occupied in the armed serv- ices, iti war plants, and itt other production for war purposes. Fourth, is thc greatly increased demand for all types of goods as a result of our swollen purchasing power.

The rcztl credit for the fact that the Can- adian economy" has fared as well as it has under the crippling effort of a tremendous war divers- ion of good. and services, .\lr. Gordon concedes, goes to tltc farnit-r. thc nianufactttrcr, the im- porter, wholesalers Zllltl retailers, tltc business man and to the irorker. .\'o ivartitiie controls in a democratic coinitr_v can succeed without public co-operation. And it is for a coittiiittaiice of this co-opcrtttiott iii the ittitncdiatc future, during and after the war, that .\li-. Gordon appcals._ To quote his owti closing words:

“During wartime most people were able to develop a sitiqlc-itiiiiilcd tlevotion to the over- riding objective of wittiiitig the war, and noth- ing which was ncccssarv to that purpose seem- ed too tnucli to contribute. In the problems of transition front war to peace the single-minded- rtess will no longer be present and there are bound to ltc violctit differences of opinion and conflicts of llll(‘l“c‘>l to hcdevil the solutions which must he reached. This time the achieve- ment of Peace will not be the occasion to throw our caps iti the air. \\'e shall only ltave begun the real struggle against the forces 'wlticli the Ger- man anil Japanese gangsters released upon the world. It is not too early for sober-ttiinded peo- ple to ponder upon some of these facts atid it is not too early to try to organize a body of pub- lic opinion committee to restraint, self-discipline end calm tliitilting."

Able And Upright

“I think that all the points which have oc- curred to itic arc very fully met in the excel- lent reports fnritishcil by ottr able and up- right Press."—.\lr. Churchill. '

It is recorded that thc Hottsc of Commons, eager for news front tltc beaches of Normandy‘, cheered these words of the Pritne .\liiiistcr, says The journal of thc Itistitiitc of ‘lOllfiliillSlS. A Parliament ivliiclt, be it tinted, has not shown itself too friendly (lisposcd towards the news- papers, herc found fitting occasion to express its appreciation of tltc part [ilayed by the Press in presenting to thc public the opciting chapters of the tnoutcntotis story of the armies of libera- tion in action.

"Able and tipright" is the verdict passed by Mr. Churchill on the exertions of the free Brit- ish Press at this crucial hour; and who will gainsay him? If any evidence was really needed of the itidispeitsztliility of the Press in the serv- ice of the community it has been provided in overflowing measure during the past few weeks. Assurcdly the jotirtialist has never had cause to feel greater pride in his craft and great- er satisfaction in the practice of it, whether his role has been that of a "front-line" reporter or l "back-line" stilt-editor.

The “excellent reports" to which the Prime Minister paid tribute, together with the effici- ent and expeditious sub-editing of them, have won for jottrtialism a position of the highest honour iti the public estimation. It is well that this should ht- recognized find remembered by jonrtinlists tlieittst-lves, and especially by the gallant band of w:i_r correspondents, who must have _rezilizeil willi Mr. Clttircliill (as a war rorrcspoitilent of other days) that it isn't life that ttttittcrs bttt tltc courage one brings to it. There is an itnineitsc fitture for a jottrtialism which conlittucs to uphold its ideals and tradi- iionl. . ~ - "

C. Alterations

Have the alterations to Prince 0f Wales College building been wlsrly considered? None will dispute the need for tecllttical training facil- ities, but why did the Government allow the site of the old Agricultural Hall to be sold when it could have been utilized to great advantage itt this connection? The removal of the rink at the rear of the College, which the students built up by their own exertions, is rather a poor way to encourage interest in “physical fitness." And it will certainly not be conducive to academic study to have a noisy ntacliine shop and black- smith shop housed in a building adjoining the College. These accommodations should be pro- vided elsewhere. Prince of Wales is, after all, an institution of higher learning. To destroy

its value as such, on any pretext, is sabotage. £1.

“We've got one report this week which at first glance makes it look as though a titan has to be very tough indeed to stay in the Australian Army nowadays, (says Lieut. Frederic Phelan in the BBC overseas service). Don Athaldo, thc Australian professional strong titan. has been discharged front the Army as medically unfit. However. it's not as bad as it sounds, because Athaldo, who was a Commando instructor, was taking part in a camp show and sustained an in- jury to his leg muscles while supporting on his chest a platform holding eleven tiittsiciaiis. The doctors consider that if lie continued his present duties ltis injuries would be permanent. Ath- aldo, who is now in his late forties, was an original Anzac."
