It is well to be reminded during the present Vigor-y Loan campaign that pr_essures tending to force up the cost of living continue to threaten the soundness of Canada's \vartime_¢¢°"°m)’- It is perhaps not unnatural, in the fifth year of the war, that a sense of the individual respon- sibility for maintaining a stable. economy should need restressing. It is for this 1185011 that l series of advertisements issued by the Govern- nient of Canada is being published in the press, emphznizing this point in a sl1'\l\'1"8lY elfccfl" manner. Those advertisements appear from time to time in ' “he Guardian, and are Well Wfifth reading and studying. They emphasize, among other things, the need of cutting down unneces- sary spctiding and buying Victory bonds 111M611; m’ ‘ginihllllg the tcinptatiiiti of hoarding or buy- ing in black markets; of ctr-operating fully in tllc l,iO\'€l‘1llllC1ll'S price and Wage control meas- ures, and profit limitations. The purpose of those rcgullitinns is not only to win the wares speedily as possible but to avoid POSUVHTdH‘ {lutioig and consequent high cost of living, which wars of the past have usually brought in their wake.

llolding the price ceilings alone has been a

difficult joh. Dotibtless errors have been made in the ilpplitélliOii of ceiling prices, particularly in connection with fartn products. These should be cornctetl, and readjustment: made as quick- ly as possible. But in the main it must be con- ceded that the result of maintaining ceiling prices has been well worth while. During the last war, from i914 to r919, it is claimed that prices rose 6o per cent, whereas from I93!) to 1944, the rise has been only r8 per cent. Indeed, the effort of the Canadian people in this direc- tion has been successful enough to be noted in other countries. But the danger of inflationary prices will not pass until the war has been won. and vigilance is even more necessary now than lt was in the early months of the war. The ap- peal made by the Government for cooperation and support in this matter is no less important than the appeals made in connection with othcr essential war measures.

Farm Machinery

A complaint frequently voiced by farmer members at the last session of the Legislnttirc—— and one which came from both sides of the House—wa| with regard to the shortage of farm implements. These complaints are snh- stantiated by figures recently tabled in the House of Commons, which show that, whereas sales of farm machinery and equipment in 1939 had a total value of $34,060,447, and in r941 had

to be shipped will be determined by many otherl factor-s than the terms of the contract.

'l'li¢ important thing about this contract to the Canadian producer, says a western exchange.- is that it assures a minimum market for more. than one season and permits longer term produc-' tion planning in this country. While the an-j notuicenicnt comes somewhat too late to mat- erially affect the current year's production plans, it will provide poultry producers a good guide as to their market prospects in r945.

Immediate adoption of a permanent, universal compulsory military training program for youths is urged in the current issue of Collier's Weekly by U.S. Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox who in a signed article declared "it is- or it should be-a shock and a challenge to the nation to learn that half of its men of military age are unfit for service."

l U i F During n discussion on a bill to amend the judge's Act, justice Minister St. Laurent said that provinces at the forthcoming Dominion- Provincial conference will be asked to agree to an amendment of the British North America l" Act which would allow the federal government to fix the ages of retirement for Supreme Court judges.

ply to meals of 35 cents and nvcr, thc idvzt living

mounted to a value of $52,106,069, in 1943 their value had shrunk to $28,463,000, or little more than half the figure of r941. Convincing proof of the existing scarcity of tisable farm imple- merits can be found in the very high prices which second-hand implements are fetching at farm sales all over the country.

The Globe and Mail recalls that last Decem- ber a conference held at Ottawa between agri- cultural experts of the Federal and Provincial Governments mapped out an ambitious program of agricultural production for all Canada in 1944. It called for substantial enlargements of our production of certain kinds of foodstuffs, tak- ing account both of the needs of our allies and of the commitments which Canada has made in connection with the projected tasks of the UNRRA organization, and which she might have to honor this year. Moreover, there has been during the winter a tremendous diminution of the United States‘ reserve stocks of grain, and the present outlook south of the internat- ional boundary is for lighter crops in r944 than r in 1943. So there is every reason for encour- aging farmers to plant as large grain crops as possible, as there will be available ample outlets for them.

lt is may he too late in the yesr for produc- ing more implements of cultivation, but not too lalc to increase the output of harvesting and spraying 1l1.'1t‘l1i11('1'_\', S0 the needs 0f the farm- ing (‘iilllllllllllly for more such machinery should receive sympathetic consideration in the alloca- tion of the available supplies of steel and other essential materials. There are reports, accord- ing 1o the Toronto paper, of Liberal politicians in Szislczuclicivan trying to win votes by promis- ing the immediate construction of expensive hritl vs which are not urgently needed.

ln kt-trping with the plans for stabilization of Cnnzidizui zigriculturc, particularly during the rcntrunilrr of the war and the postwar period, s contract for the sale of eggs t0 Britain has been completed. Lfndcr this contract, Britain agrees to take front Canada the equivalent of 48,000,- 000 dnzcti eggs this year and next. It must also lic noted that this is the minimum amount required by the British market and that addi- tional supplies, if they are available in this cotin- try, may also be sent abroad.

The hulk of these eggs will go to Britain in the form of egg powder. In 1945 a portion of the supply may be shipped as shell eggs at the request of the purchaser. The number that go forward as shcll eggs will no doubt depend very largely on the war and shipping conditions.

Last year, Canada sold to Britain 43000000 dozen eggs in powder form. The itiiniinum con- tract for the current _\'l‘<'ll' is somewhat less, as- sllllllllg that the jircsent contract will he filled in two equal portions. However, lllc actual amount
