Canadians Buy British

Since Britain cancelled food contracts in this country to correct her adverse trade balance with us-amounting to some 55400,- 000,000 last year-she has taken steps to in- crease exports to this country. The most spectacular, of course. was the devaluation of sterling last September, but other posi- tive measures were adopted.

The result, according to president of the Board of Trade, Harold Wilson, has been that trade with this country has picked up during the first quarter of 1950. Mr. Wil- son declares that the United Kingdom Gov- ernment. wants to trade with Canada at the highest level, not the lowest "because the amount we can buy is limited by what we can pay for." ..

The fact that Britain has slightly in- creased the amount she is willing or rather able to spend in Canada is due to increased buying of British goods by Canadians, and it is obvious that only by still further in- creasing our purchases from the United Kingdom, and from sterling area countries, can we expect to again break into the British market on any large scale.

Bigger cllom output

In making his announcement on dairy prices in the Commons recently, Agriculture Minister Gardiner probably had in mind a considerable switch of milk from butter to cheese factories this summer when he anti- cipated that cheese output this year would exceed the 1l1,000.000 pounds produced in 1949.

The Minister also announced that all cheddar cheese made after May 1 in Ontario and Quebec will be requisitioned to fill the contract with the United Kingdom up to 85,000,000 pounds. However, this will not mean that Canadians will be short of cheese. A surplus of 34,900,000 pounds is in Cana- dian storage in the 'process of curing. Un- like butter, cheese must be aged. An ex- change notes that it is against the lawtto cell cheese for immediate consumption that is less than three months old. Most people like it better when it is aged nine months and connoisseurs who want cheese that really bites prefer it after two years' curing. The chief distinction of Canadian cheddar is that it can be stored that long without deteriorating, While Canada's cheese has been famous for half a century in the Brit-

- lsh market Canadians ate little of it until recent years. But the taste for cheese in Canada has been growing, and the cheese industry would view with alarm any failure to supply the increasing domestic demand.

Sound Money Does It

The l-lainilton Spectator sees an ironic rebuke for the "funny-money" theorists in Alberlals present prosperity. Not many years ago, when the application of Social .Cl't!(lli doctrine had just about wrecked Alberta's economy, the credit of the prov- ince wns at a disturbingly low point. But recent years have brought great changes. Since the war ended in 1945 Alberta's debt has been substantially reduced, taxes have not been increased and its credit rating is among the best. Social services have also been extended and the general picture is so favourable that Alberta has come to occupy an enviable place among Canada's ten prov- lnccs.

What has been responsible for this ex- traordinary comcback? Mother Nature was the bountiful one in the first instance; then ,came those lieralds of new wealth, the pro-

spectors for blacl: gold. They found it in abundance, veritable lakes of it under- ground. Next came the capital--the fruits of orthodox finance--to develop these rich discoveries. The rest is spectacular history. The huge pipelines are being built that will convey this oil across the continent and serve vast numbers of consumers. Oil is the exclting topic in Western Canada, and Al- berta's store of it is calculated to ensure the flow for many years to come.

That same oil has also poured millions of dollars into Alberta's treasury. It ls'paylng off in "dividends" never dreamed of by Abe:-hart and his followers: this money is sound. the good kind that buys the cookies and the childfen's shoes. It is real wealth, created by those traditional processes of

; d production. Strangely enough, too, there is no evi- dmoalint the Social Creditors out there are thoturn or eventltimt - in ' ' o piouant pool- ; 1. 1 dollars

In addition to Principal Frank MacKin- non of Prince of Wales College, the Univer- sity of New Brunswick is honouring the Rt. Rev. R. V. MacKenzie, President-Rector of St. Dunstan's University by bestowing upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at the convocation this month. This well merited honour is a tribute both to St. Dun- stan's, which has earned many important diplomas and scholarships for its students, and to its esteemed Rector who is outstand- ing in the field of higher education in this Province.

Preliminary estimates. by the Bureau of Statistics place farm net income for the year at &1,537,387,000, about four per cent below the revised all-time high of 31,600,336,000 for 1948. Year-livestock inventories dis- played an increase for the first time since 1944, but this gain was more than offset by a substantial decline in year-end, farm-held stocks of grain. Net farm income was high- er in the three Maritime Provinces, Quebec and Saskatchewan, the gains ranging from less than one per cent in Quebec to nearly 25 per cent in Nova Scotia. The decline in the other provinces varied from less than two per cent in Ontario to over 20 per cent in British Columbia. Preliminary estimates of net income by provinces follows, with totals for 1948 in brackets: Prince Edward Island 5t11,400,000 (h11,000,000);.

About Outlawing Communists

(Ottawa Journal)

and other Bullsh- speaking countries will watch keenly the outcome of Premier Menzies law outlawing Australian Communists. For about this mat- ter for 5, long time there has been much debate, some of it angry.

Opponents of the thing Premier Menzles has done any that to out- larw Communists would be merely to drive them underground, thus making them more dangerous: that it is better to have them in the open where they can be watched.

The retort of those who would outlaw Communists is that if we can't have laws to protect our- selves against .Communlsts just. be- cause such laws would drive Com- munists underground. then why not say that we should not have criminal laws because criminal laws drive criminals underground? They retort also that Fm 4 t or the worst; of them, are under- ground anyway. and that what 18 needed is police power to root them out. i

The opponents of outlwwlng Com- munists say that it; is impossible to legislate ideas out of men's minds, and that attempts to do so run contrary to British ideas of freedom.

The retort of the anticommun- lsts is that no theory of freedom. British or othcnvise, gives any group a right to work toward violence to destroy freedom-that if any such belief or practice in freedcm ever existed the time has comc to re-examine and change it.

So the debate-vwit.h much mom -has gone. Australia as it sort. of guinea pig showing which side is right or wrong. or wise or unwise, should be interesting.

Bader Wins Again

(Telegraph-Journal)

We forget many people. often heroes, but the name Douglas Badcr made such an impression on all who were taking I lively in- teresl in the dramatic days of 1940 that he is still instantly recalled by most Canadians. He was then Squadron Leader Badcr and he commanded the All-Canadian Squadron of the R. A. 11, fighting with bravery. dash and brilliance in the epic Battle of Britain. That alone would have won him fame in this country. Two things com- blned to make luting: he was legleu even then, having lost his legs in on accl- dent before the war: but he had proved to the R.

In the competition for the Golf Illustrated Challenge Cup at Cam- berley Heath. "playing with I handicap of four and two artificial legs". he won with a net seventy- five and seventy-eight for the thirty-six holes. A good many golfers with I full complement of legs would rate themselvu pretty highly if they could do that. The indomitable Buder seems to take it in his-artificial-stride. Over- coming handicaps like that is a matter of the spirit and Bader has shown repeatedly that he nur- mountn Ill difficulties. He is not a Canadian. but his personality and his command of all-Canadian squadron during the greatest sir battle of all times have carved for him a niche in Canadian anmll. and not only Canadian golfers will congratulate him on his lat- est exploit.

World Poverty And World Surpluses

(New York Times Service)

New York. April 30 . - Unless world poverty and the world's un- marketable surpluses can be brought together, civilization can- not last. Lord Boyd Orr. 1940 Ndbel Peace Prize winner, said to- night. ,

The Scottish peer. an intern- tionally known nutrition expert and crusader for world govern- ment. spoke at. a dinner forum of the Nation Associates at the Wol- donf-Astotia Hotel. Fred: Kitch- wey. editor of The Nation. is pres- ident of the group. The dinner forum was the last of a series of meetings held Saturday and Sun- day to discuss "The Atomic Ero- Can it Produce Peace and Abund- once?"

"America is already embarrassed with unmnrketolble surpluses of food." the speaker said. "In lur- ope, even after the devastation of the last war, there is the throat of unmnrketable surpluses of steel. coal and other industrial commod- tles within the next three years. Unlesl we can adjust human so- ciety so that these two dangers - rovolt against poverty and unmar- lrotable surpluses - cancel each other out. our civilization cannot survive even if another atomic bcvmfb i.I never dropped."

The United Nations, Lord Boyd Orr said, is not working effic- icntly.

"There is danger of it going the same way as the League of Na- tions." he said. "because the world is distracted by ideologic l differ- ences Ibout theories of capitalism. socialism and V mun-ism and by selfish national and class interests. The Atlantic charter for peace and prosperity has been replaced by the Atlantic pact for a war of de- fence.
