course from the Qrcat maestro of the national ins1r11n1cnt, Pipc-Rlajor William Ross, who has instructed many thousands of pipers (luring vcrv nearly 51> y-czirs, Ross docs not trouble with bcqiitncrs. 111.- uow only takcs qualificd pipers who want to bcconte better pipers, or simply to freshen 11p on technique and new music.

Canada has again been flattered by American imifitiou. President Roosevelt recommended to Congress the enactment of National Selective Service measures. and both the aims and means sought. closely resemble those in operation in Canada for two years. Not that o11r5 has been a howling success but at least the idca was worth appropriating by a good neighbor. And there have been other instances of imitation. Onc of the first tributes to Canadian foresight and war planning was adoption at Washington of the rcntal control scheme. Later came 1l1c copy-lug of our policy of subsidies as an iuslrn mcnt of price control.

Ticket sales realized £1,514,000, and prize money distributed totalled £967,000. The Government received £75,000 in tax and stamp duty. Since 1920 nearly £6,000,000 has been spent on hospitals and motherhood and child welfare services, and other sums from special lotteries have gone to patriotic funds.

Dairy- products are likely to be insufficient for the civilian population this year, says Cana- dian Grocer. Ottawa already is figuring on a ieductiou in butter production and cheese has been scarce for months and will continue to b1‘ this year tmless the war should end or something unforeseen happen. Production of milk on the wholc, how-ever, is likely to be maintained but more of it will be consumed in the fresh state. Reports continue that we may have some im- ports of grapefruit juice this year and this is one of the brighter pictures. \\'e should also have sufficient stocks of canned and dehydrated soups, baby foods, macaroni, and as the trade knows the WPTB recently permitted cauncrs to pack pork and beans. spaghetti, sauerkraut, mush rooms, ctc., i11 tin cans so that 111orc of these (but 11ot sufficient) will be available. Large quantities of peanuts are expected 10 come into Cairada in February or March for peanut b11t- tcr. "he food supply picture, therefore, has its brighter side as wcll as the darker one. a I l h

The threat to the per-Ions! 11h- erty of all Onnndlnnlrlnherent 1n the plan: o! the socialist: for the national‘ of Olnldlun indus- try. was emphasized by Mot-rt; W. Wilson, accident of’ The Royal Bank of Canada. at the bank‘: Annual Meeting. ' ‘

. Wilson reviewed the tre- mendous role Canada had played tn this mightiest wrlr o! all time 1am! the manner 1n which workmen land enterprlsers alike had co-op- erated 1n it. "Despite this fact," he said. “we are being wld by all the publicity methods revolution- ary partisans can devise, that in order to wln the peace we must change our entire economic sys- tem and launch out. into new and untried paths, under new and ln- expertenced lenders. The theor- preacn these doctrines of an economic re- volution may be thoroughly hon- est and sincere. But the fact re- mnlns that the principles they ad- vocate can only lead, as a. final and inevitable result. to a com- pletely regtmented economy, and on this point I cannot do better than quot»: the Editor of the Lon- don Economlst. a well-known writ- er of liberal views:

“...A wholly planned economy ls incompatible with any degree o! political freedom. The possibility 0! a man's earning his living tn his own way, without. let or hind- rance, 1s the essential condition of there bc-lng any freedom of dis- cussion. any freedom b0 oppose. If more than a fraction of the elec- torate come to depend for their livelihood ‘upon the temporary masters of the mechanism of the State-that. ls. upon the politicians —-t.hcn democracy is at an end."

“I am more convinced than ever that the menace of soctallstlc teaching is one which closely affects everyone ln Canada 1n both n15 business and private 1lfe_

SOCIALIST MENACE

"Naturally. we are Interested in preserving our business, 1n which so many shareholders have invest:- ed. and to which so many deposl- 1 tors have entrusted their savings. But even more as citizens than n: businessmen, we deplore the rise of this creed, because we firmly believe that implementation oftha socialist plan would ruin this gen- eration and set Canada back cen- turies.

“The course of’ the soclallst party in Canada has been charted for 11s tn several books which make clear that nothing short of complete socialization of the means of pro- ductlon and finance wlll satisfy the party. That means domination of every phase of economic life,

PRIVATE BANKING BEST

Mr Wilson suggested that. it was not vlmnly due to ehlnce 111111 banking the world over had con- "mm! in Private hands. but 11m the people 11nd the Governments had considered it advisable-from every point, of view that banking should be free of political and pur- tlsan influences. l-Ie reminded his audience that Canadian banks were already effectively ciontrol- led by the Bunk of Clnldl and that firrther Intervention by the Government 1n the banklng bllll~ nee, would. in his belief, be super- fluous and would not be welcomed by the majority who deal with the banks.
