I solid unit.

Steel Shortage Problem

' More stccl plants are required to increase W81‘ production iii the Linited States and Canada. The difficulty is that these plants in themselves would consume steel that is needed for weapons. Th6 only solution seen by officials of both countries is to overhaul the system of priorities and dis- tribute steel, non-ferrous metals and other kind- red materials on a basis of rationing that will jerve war industries first. This course has been yadopted by a new body sct up in \Vashington that will administer the Production Require- ments Plan. It will mean that Canadian manu- facturers wlio have been turning out goods for Iciviliaii use, and depending Oll American sources for their raw iuatcrizils, will be placed in a sec- ondary position and forced to rely on any sur- plus of steel after war industries have been pro- vided for. The outlook for the former is not bright and it is fearctl that itiauy of them will ultimately have to cease operations 0r convert their production to war purposes.

The step is a drastic one, but Hon. C. D. Howe, Canadian Minister of Munitions and Sup- ply, explains that it can not be avoided. Definite quotas have been set for all iiiantifactiirers who use more than $5,000 worth of metals in a period of three months, Those in that category must sub- mit a. report of their inveiifOry every quarter, show what the raw materials are used for and ho\v much will be iiccderl for the next three months. The joint ll").'ll'(l will then determine whether or not the metals are necessary and whe- ther aiiy of the stirpltis can be spared. The pro- spect iS that many of these civilian industries will get nothing, and in any event the Minister warns that only lilo-i‘, which are essential to the economy of :1 ll'lil"ll :tt war will receive any pre- ference. llr. llowc expresses the Opinion that Canada's war effort will be speeded up under the new allocation of these supplies.

As a matter of fact 1 have not Mt any Pini- cular obligation to go into that question as Min- ister of Finance, in regard to non-ivar expendi- turcs. I presume that the normal practices pre- vail." Normal practices, being political, are in- variably wasteful and their elimination is the Fin- ance i\linistcr’s responsibility. It docs no good to assure the people that there is no leak at one Trea- sury point if there is a hole left unplugged at an- other point. This years appropriation for non- military purposes has risen to per cent to $455- ooo,0o0, and to this Mr, Ilsley has stated, a fur- thcr sum of possibly $30,000,000 will have to to be added.

If the Government must have heavy increases in certain non-military appropriations because of the higher cost of war financing, that is in itself reason, good and sufficient, even compelling rea- son, why evcry dollar that docs not nerd to be spent should be saved. Herc is the Department of National Revenue expanding its organization at a cost of more than a million dollars_ Why Coiild not this department draw tiprm the idle or Pflrlly idle staffs of other ilcpartittcnts that are not on any kind of war work at all? Why has that not been done gCllCfillly instead of adding 35.000 PCrSOIIS t0 the Qttawa service at a wage cost of $70,000,000? We have selective service in industry as a war measure. \\'e have nothing of the kind in these Ottawa deprirtiticitts which re- fuse t0 row in the same boat or are not per- ittitted to do so ——dcpartitieiits where it is said a clerk may not be a stenographer or a, stcnog- raphcr a clerk and two people are paid for tln work one can do. Political favoritism —-wh0 doubts it? _

The Qttawa journal puts its finger on “waste- ful stationery" as causing people "to wonder whe- ther it is a symptom of widespread extrava- gance in more important items.” The plain fact is that the people have stopped wondering, and are angry and resentful. Mr. Ilslcy's bud- get forces tliem to look at every item of their own expenditure, to do without things. They will tolerate no more nonsense from the Govern- ment. They have given Mr. Ilslcy generous stip- port but lthcy are mitcliiiig now every dollar of Governmeent expenditures that is riot hidden. \Vliat is wanted at Ottawa i5 a board of the be“ 511511955 brains the Government can get, a board empowered to Sllpervisg all deparin-ienta] spending and to economize ruthlessly.

The Temperance Federation of Canada, head- ed by Rev. A. j. Irwin, D. D,, is making a strong QPPQHI to the Prime Minister to do something to curb the alarming growth of the liquor traffic. Since the putbreak of war and the consequent enormous increase in circulation, the brewers, distillers and wine producers have been reaping a rich harvest, ivhicli, says the Federation, is not i" the iiiiﬂreit 0f Canada as a nation at war. Thev do not advocate all-out prohibition but suggest the Prime Minister should devise means of (lcaling effectively pith airy-jug evil,

The old problem the police and Magistrates have to decide i! how t0 tell when a man is drunk. In Sydney the police called in the govern- ment analysts to their aid with this result. The govcrnment supplied the liquor to put; ivilliii; victims to the test. The scientists learned that the average man is inebriated by eight ounces of whiskey, or I4 ounces of port, or eight Short pints of beer. By then his v0ice is thick, his lzingtiagc rude. and he finds it hard to pick up pins. The whiskey contained 65 to 7o percent proof spirit, port 35 percent, beer 8 to i0 pcrceii; Maximum effect of alcohol is felt three hours after imbibing. A man is under the influence when his blood contains two percent alcohol, He is dead drunk at three percent. When six per- cent is present, the drinker isn't, He's dead.

The Opposition in the House are continuing to insisttupon the freedom of Parliament to dis- cuss a report on a Royal Commission no matter of whom it is constituted. Criticiziug the Prime Minister for refusing l0 (lisctiss the details of evidence on the implication that a. report by a Chief justice as Royal Commissioner was sac- rosarict, "since ivhen", questioned Mr. Hanson. "has there been a rule that this House should not criticize a report of a Royal Commission? The implication that was made by reference to the Chief justice of Canada is merely a method to evade a proper discussion of this report, and I do protest against it. lt is not the Chief jus- tice of Canada who made the report, it is a

Royal Commissioner appointed by this Govern- w

mcnt." “Further,” said Mr. Hanson, “if we are to have any debate on the Hong Kong report, how in the world can we arrive at any depend- able conclusions? How can this House come to any conclusions at all unless we have the cvi- dence before its to ascertain whether the con- clusions of the Royal Commission were justi- fied or not?"

Food Rationing In Britain

Monetary ‘limes

Wit-h rationing of sugar, tan and coffee now on a voluntary but,

though the , system is not far off, a. review of food rationing set-up ritnfn may aid Canadians seeing that, all things considered, Canada Ls n "land of milk and none ." even in wartime.

Britain's civilian food rationing

nt is divided into three parts. First. come the foods allotted weekly oz‘ monthly on a definite scale. Next come the foods rationed on a. basis of personr, choice but with a maxium total for the group. And last, the un- mtloned foodstuffs.

The first. group includes milk, meat, eggs. cheese, butter, fats, Jams and preserves, tea sugar and "sweets," or candies, The quantities slowed since the start of the war have been fairly constant, butydo vary from time to time according to the supply available. Children under six years receive the sum! amount of food as adults. except- ing meat. of which they are allow- ed half the adult ration. Miners, heavy industry workers, agricultural workers and some of the other civilian claws are allowed larger amounts of cheese. School children nursing mothers, lnvallds and ex- pectant mothers are allowed extra. supplies of milk. when oranges are available, children t first choice. m this group, rezis ration with re- tallezs Ls compulsory, and the re- rfstranf. must go to a certain groc- ery store to secure the quota of food.
