Railway Rates & Layoffs

_ The layoff of twenty-one section -men by the Canadian National Rail- , ways in this Province is ‘a matter of serious concern. If other commun- _~ities are affected, so much the worse.

‘In any case it is fitting that strong I

protest be lodged before the Trans- Jport Commissioners and the Feder- al Government. The matter calls for ‘immediate consideration in view of the point raised by the ‘Railway Brotherhood of Maintainance of ,Way Employees——namely, that the .. reduction on the Island Division will niean that there will not be suffic-

ient men to maintain a safe roadbed. A

If this is an “economy” move it comes at a very poor time. The Pro- vinces have appealed to the Govern- ment against the 316 per cent freight rate: increase allowed by the Board, and the Government has just sus- pended the Board’s ruling to allow the Provinces—eight of them, for Ontario\ and Quebec are not affect- ed——to prepare their case. Pending the result of this appeal, it does not

‘seem right that the railways should _ be permitted to embark upon wide- «

.. 50819 layoffs to the detriment of necessary services. It looks too much

like a plaintiff holding a shotgun to the judge’: head.

In any case, the big issue from.

your point of view is not the railways’ fiiieed for extra revenue but the grant. ing of more flat percentage increases in freight rates under any circum- _.;stances. The ‘most striking part of “the Transport Board’s recent judg. ment deals with this point. It proves ‘that the flat percentage increase has -«become a, device for loading increas- ed railway costs upon two-areas of the country—-—the Maritime area and ‘the West—-—containing about one. third of the country’s population; “This is due to. the fact that the Transport Board fixes only maximum ..'rates. The railways are free, volun- tarily, to reduce rates below these

.‘;maxima.—They do so in all kinds of

"competitive rates,‘ and it is in’ On. Itario and Quebec that all forms ‘of .competition——such as waterways and ,Cana1S._ highways and local air ser- .._Vices—are most common, ‘ ‘Further than that, the traffic which is least open to competition and therefore most exposed to’ per. ,centage increases, is the long haul -=:-‘traffic from the , Atlantic Provinces ,.and from the West to and from the Central Provinces. This point is em- ,phasiz‘ed by Grant Dexter in an arti. cle——.one of an excellent series on’ the subject——in the Winnipeg Free .press.. The traffic, outbound, frofn Ontario and Quebec consists largely of manufactures. Inbound, it in- cludes all kinds of produce. The At- lantic areas and the ‘West buy the ‘manufactures at the factory and sell their Produce on Toronto and Mon- treal markets. In doing so they pay -the freight both ways,

Mr. Dexter recalls that the Tur- geon Royal Commission, in 1951, af. ter a" two year investigation con. demned the flat percentage increa. ‘ses without qualification. It said

the rates should be dealt with on an "

individual basis. No legislation was recommended because none was needed? P1‘0lJer action could be taken by the ‘railways and by the Transport Board. But no. action was taken, and the situation has gone from bad to worse. Since the Tur- geon Commission report, in the dis. tribution of railway revenue, traffic subject to flat percentage increases declined from 72.7 per cent to 50.6 Der cent by 1956, while competitive traffic not subject to percentage in- creases rose from 12.8 to 31 per cent_ -In the United “States, the Inter State Commerce Commission "has abandoned this method of fixing freight rates but in Canada ‘the rail-' W3.V’s, with the blessing of the Trans- port Board, continue stubbornly to follow it. Clearly it is time for a showdown! If the railways need more revenue, as they now claim, they should be forced to obtain it in an equitable manner, and not at the ex- pense of the provinces- which are least able to pay it.

Where Inflation Pinches

In his address at the annual meet- ing of the Royal Bank of Canada last week, Mr. James Muir, chair- man and president, made _an arrest- ing statement. “If we were to read in tonight’s paper,” he said, “that a part of all old pensioners’ cheques had been stolen; that someone had picked the pockets of all those draw- ing superannuation payméiits; that widows and children had been rob- bed of some of the meagre income which a hard working man had striven to create for them; if we read all this, would there not be a tre- throughout the land and would not almost sup- erhuman efforts be made to appre- hend the marauder? Well, he is still around. His name is ‘inflation’.”

Bringing the human consequences of inflation thus sharply into focus, Mr. Muir also took note of the con- fusions and contradictions that enter into the methods used to combat the evil. The progressive income tax structure makes revenues rise faster

. than ,the overall rise in the, national

money economy, and they fall ‘faster

than the national money income on -

the down swing. ‘This means that‘ automatic surpluses appear in in- ﬂation, and automatic deficits in deflation. But the symmetry of the-

‘_ ory has apparently fallen prey to

political reality, and each new in- flationary wave begins not far short of where the old onelleft off. Once monetary and fiscal management, through its errors orvinefficienty, al- lows inﬂation to begin, wages» aie bound _to rise. Higher wages -may A his prices, with further demands for wage adjustment. If this “round ro- bin of costs and price rises” is to be kept within bounds, restraint must be exercised; not only by unions but by‘ business as well, and by elec- torates and governments.‘

Properly handled, a readjust-

- ment period may lead, to an even

greater and healthier’ prosperity and expansion in the future. But it is Mr. Muir's conviction that the handling

,must_be largely that of human na- . ture itself, through the understand-

ing of its motives and attitudes.

. In dealing with the issue in human

terms, not as an impersonal pheno- menon, he has performed a service to e public generally.

TWIN ARRIVALS

Tronscendingi Other Issues _ ' . By Patrick Nicholson ' Special Correspondent for The Guardian

Ottawa: Members of Parlia-

-ment seem‘ to be going through

the motions of domestic politics, while their minds are far away on a paramount topic which has hardly been mentioned.

This is the impression one gets, in the few days of sessions since the Christmas holiday. ,

The problem of course, which many people are too scared to discuss, is the relations -—- or more accurately, the lack of re- lations — between that diminish- ing world power to the south of us, and the ascendant Soviet‘Un- ion. . . v

Old people tend to shy away from bold new ideas,'and a vivid

example of rui-bound thinking is.

seen in the all-powerful Secre- tary of State of the United States,

»John Foster Dulles, who will

celebrate his seventieth birthday next month. Mr. Dulles has for overlong beenthinkirig in terms of world war, two weapons and has been overly enamoured of his own silly threat about “massive retaliation.” Sure, the atomic bomb and the_ long - range bom- ber served their usefulness for a time. So did the cross-bow. But today America's potential enemy is fighting with the inter-continem tal rocket and economic pene-

'tration. And \while the United

States government is spendthrift of its great apportunities, and making its country shortest-lived great power in history, the-brains

trust in the Kremlin is sneaking into every country in the world by the back door of the mind. TWO LONE VOICES _

Only two Members ‘have risen in Parliament to say frankly what they feel about the present worrying situation. These’ were ex-Prime Minister Louis St. Lau- rent, -and Winnipeg’s C.-C.F. mem- ber Alistair Stewart. ’

On the day Prime Minister Die- fenbaker reported to Parliament the sterile achievements of. the opportunity - laden NATO con- ference in Paris last month, Mr. St. Laurent made one of his rare and brief participations in the af- fairs of the House; observers re- marked that it was one of most persuasive and powerful speech- es he had ever made in that

chamber. ‘, ’

He urged that the western na- tions should make ‘some attempt to negotiate with Russia to the end of disarmament. This is es- sential, he declared, to enable us “to reach decisions that would bekept, and which would permit us to protect our own and future generations ,against the catastro- phio consequences that will be inevitable . if we cannot reach some satisfactory arrangements."

In a world on wheels, the walk- ing stick may seem a quaint sym- bol of the past. Yet here and there

’ _this accessory of elgeant tradi-

“tion is showing signs of revival.

From Sydney, Australia, comes word of a 10- per cent increase, over the past four months, in sales of caries to well - dressed young men.»

In United States, ’a speaker at ’a_ meeting of orthopedic surgeons has urged a return to walking sticks for health and looks. The support, he said, is needed not only by patients with bone and joint injury; it would modify wad- dlds and encourage walking, this helping to reduce weight. CRAFTSMEN CARRY ON

Some veteran manufacturers of walking sticks are still doing bus- .iness at the old stand in Europe and ‘shipping their products a- round the world.

For more than a century, suc- cessive generations of one family have carried on the craft in a woodland southwest of London.

The sticks, cut from ash,’ sil- ver bigch, chestnut, oak, and sy- camore, are seasoned for a year _in open barns. They are then boil- {ed in gleaming old copper vats, shaped, sandpapered, varnished, and sometimes carved. Among fi- nished products are stout hiking

sticks, slender d re s s models, i white canes to distinguish the

blind, riding crops, and shepherd crooks. . '

Dublin is an important distri- bution center for the“ knobby blackthorn cane known "as Ire‘ land’s national walking stick and popular as a tourist souvenir. Many come from windbreaks planted by farmers of Cork and Kerry counties.

Home processing ‘of the steel- tough blackthorn switches includ- es long seasoning over smoky fires, straightening, staining, and rubbing to the required black- satin sheen.

Another Irish contribution to the world's walking- "stick mar- ket is the formidable shellelagh. Modern versions of the short heavy cudgel are long, slim, and o f t e n topped with imaginative carvings.

CANES WITH A STORY

The schoolmaster‘s traditional cane is out of style for real life or literary punishments. B ut these and other sticks linger in memory. ‘ ’ . ‘ Shown in Dr. Johnson’s mus- eum home in London is the ivory- headed cane the great lexico- grapher carried on walks, tapping posts as he went.

Nate White in the Christian Science Monitor

It is possible to see the com- plete elimination of poverty in the world by the year 2008. It is possible to see a new econo- mic freedom for all men. It is possible to see a political« and spiritual freedom growing out of the maturing of economic free- dom. It is possible to see in this maturing of humanity the har- monization of nations when the bear,’ the lion, the leopard, and the asp of human thought will not harm the lamb, the kid, the calf of human thought, or the little child."

This potential, more than at any time in history since Isaiah gave his great prophecy, is avail- able to the human race. The ec- onomic means to bring about the plenty of nations exists. The in- struments of plenty have been demonstrated. We have the proof of plenty. °

It is possible then to write in 1958’ that out tumbling efforts of

' today will seem in 2008 like the early stumblings of a child in his crib. Just as our small footsteps of today would have looked like giant footsteps in 1908, hindsight t_o 1908 assures us that foresight to 2008 is pregnant with promise for humankind.

UNLIMITED POTENTIAL

Can mankind realize the full development of this unlimited, horizonless potential?

Without question the answer is yes. The know-how of today is itself equal to the task. And even this know-how will become out- dated. Research, ingenuity, im- provisation, discovery —— and their multiple combinations are not bounded by the past cen- turies of ignorance and poverty. They can bring freedom to the decades of their own time.

The basic problem in the chang- es ahead ~ and changes there most certainly will be -—is in the limitations of men's thinking.

Alistair Stewart ripped into the foreign policy of the U. S. A., which was unfortunately and wrongly dominated NATO nations including Canada. Mr. John Fos- ter Dulles as Secretary of State for the U.S.A. is, said Mr. Stew- art ‘_‘nothing short of an interna- tional calamity.”

The Russians do not trust him, and the words which he has used through the years give them some valid reason for distrust, he said. '

MASSIVE NONSENSE

The threat of massive retal- iation is no empty threat, and it is enough to scare every Rus- sian, when they see themselves encircled by a carefully construc- ted ring of U.S. air bases — all on non-U.S. territory. Britain, for ebcample, is ‘regarded and used

The Dulles foreign policy is so

desirable in this. Likewise he considers it all right to demand war bases on Canadian soil at the" very moment when his Cabi- net colleagues are declaring war on our oil producers. ,

So, M.Ps are worried by these over - riding problems. And thought eems to be crystallising towards holding talks with Rus- sia, despite past disappointments; and towards a sharper look at

From time immemorial utility staffs have served mountain clim- bers, shepherds, pilgrims, and wanderers._ As fashionable acces- sories, however, walking sticks are traced to the early 1600’s. At their fanciest, they have been tas- seled, beribboned, engraved, and

decorated with cloudy amber,‘

gold, silver and other precious materials. _

,Today’s canes are simpler. Ar- biters of etiquette, while admit- ting that walking ‘sticks are no longer essential, point out that only plain Malacca ones are pro- per for formal dress.

The giant state and the giant. corporation must be run by men. The economics of the future, like the economies of -today, are the instruments of the men who dir- ect them.

OTHER FACTORS

The problem of proving plenty for all, then, is not wholly a tech- nical problem. The earth is full of riches, and mankind has dem- onstrated the ability to overcome limitation in every possible cate- gory. The basic problem is soc- ial, religious, and political. The victory of plenty must be won in the thoughts of men. Then the “earth shall be full of the know- ledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”

The first victory of plenty must needs be won in the recognition of the basic dignity of the indiv- idual man. So long as lldtrl of

There are many other causes of eczema among infants and children, too, such as excessive

bathing, rubbing, local infections: lack of cleanliness, particularly:

in the diaper region, and even some medicated baby oils. , Teething sometimes aggrava-, tes an attack, too. The first thing to do. even be-

fore your physician attempts to; determine the cause of the ec-3 zema, is to prevent the young-‘

ster from scratching the affect- ed areas. Scratching in an" ec- zema attack can do untold harm. PASTEBOARD SRLINTS

You can prevent the smaller child from reaching his face by placing pasteboard splints over his elbows. '

Your doctor or pediatrician probably will recom mend a diet which excludes one or all of these foods. MANY SUBSTITUTES . It is probably easiest to ex- clude wheat first since there are so many substitutes for it.

governments and cultures think

of their peoples as numberless, - nameless heads they cannot win. The first riches of a nation are its people. More than natural re- sources, more than industrial em- pires, more than the ‘gold and silver, the steel, and the uranium,

more than the riches of rivers ’

and mountains are the riches of the human race. In the recogni- tion of and the development of the

s

riches of the individual men and"

women will the real welath of na- tions be discovered.

How can this wealth be discov- ered? How can this victory.be won?

The answer, is, of course, in overcoming ignorance, fear and superstition.

EDUCATION THE KEY

Education is required. It is the key to the era of plenty, the “op- en sesame” of Asia and all of the underdeveloped lands anywhere. But unless this education is bas- ed on the spiritual qualities of the individual man -— upon his dignity, his innate capacities, his wealth of ideas —— it can only lead to further enslavement. Un- less the inherent richness of the individual is freed the education- al process an industrialized, tech- nological serfdom will be super- imposed upon a serfdom of agra. rian poverty. _

We know that ignorance will yield. We know that it must yield. We know that in its yielding lies the freedom of mankind from enslavement of every kind, men- tal, physical, political, and econ. omic. The challenege today to the peoples of the free world, to their governments, to their capitalists, to their economists, and to their social and religious leaders is to bring to pass the potential that exists. This is the task of the seer, the engineer, the financier.
