"If The Farmers Struck"-

Under the above heading the Globe and Mail draws a striking moral on the subject of war- time strikes. Many farmers, ‘it POIHIS Out. hi" bven meeting recently. A strike was not sug- gcsled by any of them, although as a group farmers struggle harder than any Other $11358 0f ivorkers and get the least in return. Failure to resort to strongarm methods for economic im- provemerit cannot be attributed to a sense of collective weakness. They are by far the largest group of workers in the country, almost three times as large, in i931, as those engaged in_ man- ufacturing, where most "strikes occur; lflll ill! largest despite the depletion of their ranks for other war services. There are more than} mil- lion farmers having a hard time of it, with en- ough votes to scare the deylights out of any Government, but they an not striking or threat- ening to do so. . Nevertheless, no elsss of workers has a great~ er grievance than the farmers. They have put 34.500.000.000 into 55,000,009 acres ot land, buildings, live stock and equipment in order to keep the population healthy and vigorous, and et less out of it than the people they feed get rom their efforts Thev have no regulated hours; wives and sons help without remunera- tion. Very few of them reach a scale of earn- ings to put them in the income-tax class. The prices of goods they buy are highly dispropor- tionate to their own selling prices. But they don't talk of striking, of quitting their jobs. They ask only equality of oppor- tunity. They meet arid discuss how th an do better themselves, how they can double their efforts and provide the armed forces and our allies with food as well as the workers in fac- tories and other: of the home population. With them it is not a case of downing tools, but _of struggling harder and more intelligently with the tools they have. They are not responsible for conditions ivliich bring rationing of butter and meats, or for storms which make milk de- livery impossible at times. There would be no shortage of food commodities if the farmers could lay down the laws governing their produc- tion and distribution. Farmers in Canada, operating under the great- est obstacles, receive the least attention. They are the victims of the Government's attitude to-

Sir Edward Creasy, English historian, died this date, 1878; was the first professor of his- tory in London University in which capacity he had a distinguished career; wrote many out- standing historical works, chief of which was the well-known “Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World"; that was, of course, before the World War I, which was not decisive in any particular in the sense in which Sir Edward wrote. s s s a

But men who have previously been called for coiii- pulsory service and rejected will not be requir- ed to take a second ctxilrllflililml.

According to Mr. Bracken the Ruml Plan for the collection of taxes, or an adaptation of it that would fit the particular needs of the Canadian taxpayer and the government, is the obvious thing for Canada. “When the income tax was born as a result of the last war the "only avail- able basis for income taxation was the previous -year’s income. But experience of over 1o years has shown that the Ruml Plan is the only fair way." s o e s.

What is not rationed now, or won't be ration- ed in the next six months, is really negligible. Canada and the United States, two of the great- est suppliers of the United Nations, must con- tinue to tighten their belts to ensure the utmost weight behind the striking force of the demo- cracies. And with this rationing will ¢omq rig- orous enforcement of price and wage ceilings, even though wage control threatened by the striking steel workers,

At our ninety-sixth Annual Meeting we were able _to report another year of most , g satisfactory progress during 1942.

The report showed that the great stability of your Company which has been such a satisfaction to all policyholders was still further improved. ' "

Once more great numbers have been helped through diam-easing circumstances because of their co-operation with the many thousands of others who constitute this Company. At the same time the funds which have been accumulated on your behalf are being employed very largely in you; country's war financing.
