000,000 over a ten-year period, 0r such shor er tzme as might be practicable. This in itself of- fers a sizable ficld for post-war new investment While the Manitoba Report is of much gen» eral value, conditions rlificr so widely from pro vincc to province that similar reports for the other provinces are urgently necessary. This is one of the things which it is to be hoped the Jones Government is preparing to oresem at the nextise. n of the Legislature. Both maiir parties were pledged in the last election to pro- iote ruial electrification, and the Government is also pledged to set up a Ministry of Recon- struction under which such a scheme would be extended to cover “all parts of the country." So. “i; nlav expect something zllong this line when file llouv: meets.

Steel’. More Plentiful

Final, says an exchange, is" no longer the problem chzld of war production in Canada. At one time factories could not get steel for fabrica- tion into war machines and equipment. A manufacturer would put in an order for steel auvl then hope. Mavbc he would get the steel in six months, perhaps it would be longer. If hc ever got it in less than six months, it was always advisable to break the news gently, lest the maunfrtcturcrbc" "overcome by the shock.

I Non", steel is to lit; released for ci\ilian usel. by cayriages‘ to cave for the never-failing c op of babies will be tnade. Kitchen utensils to replace worn-out pots and pans arc also to ‘be produced. Steel office equipment in which business executives can file away the thon- sautl and one limcruuzcnt directives is an- other civilian need to get steel. Farm machin- ery, fences, building materials and other items are to be made from steel released for civilian us». , Sou" perhaps, we can got on withtne building of our long-delayed car ferry. .

-i Ignoring Parliament

Appearing bcforc the House of Commons RccrmSfrllttion Committee, Labor Minister lllitchcllpaccording to The Canadian Press, fora" cast "a national transportation policy" covering railway, highway and air carriers, imposing "similar controls" on each. In doing so he was obviously assuming authoritv which does not belong either to hint or to the Government for which, presumably, he spoke.

No dotibt,_oommenfs_thc Globe and Mail, there will has? afting of the national trans- portation polio Minister of the Crown is in a posits’ '. A, ﬁouse committee what

Labor was in no position different from the spokesmen of the railway brothcrhoods 0r any ordinary citizens who may care to make recom- mendations to it. Like them. he could say what be thought should be done, and urge that it be done. What is done will be for Parliament t0 decide.
