Farm Machinery Prices lt is cstinittlltl that the direct cost of the _ l'—’ but" cunt increase ih farm machinery l>l'lC1‘s.~2ilnic-s1 tht- last major episode in Par- liament before lllc littstt-r recess-will tiltimate- ly run into liicrall) tens of tiiilliuns of dollars,

llcre are the disquieting facts with regard to the situation:

(I) 1\ burcaucracy, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, made and announced the de- cision increasing the farm tnachincry price ceil- rugs.

(2) The same bureaucracy, working in characteristic fashion, didn't consult either the Cabinet in general nor the Minister of Agri- culture, in particular, before enforcing the pol- icy

ll

(3) When Parliamentary Lcadcr john Bracken of llle Progressive Conservatives sought to raise the matter as an issue in the Commons, the influence of bureaucracy was so great that at first the Government refused to allow the matter to be raised. It was only after a reaction of violent protest had warned the Ministry of the storm which the episode had stirred natiou-ivide, that the Progressive Con- servative chieftaiti finally was allowed to king the matter before the House.

This evidence of the manner in which irre- sponsible bureaucracy has entrenched itself during the war, and its cavalier disregard 0f Cabinet and Parliament alike in formulating policies vitally affecting the livelihood of thous- mds of Canadians, sent the M. P.'s back to their constituents in thoughtful mood. T0 the Progressive Conservatives particularly it seem- ‘ed clear that their Number One task when they returned after the Easter recess must be to break the hold which the bureaucrats have gained over tho libelrtie of the people.

,1 WT eL-érmers of Canada are expected to buy iii the neighbourhood of $75,000,000 worth of. agricultural machinery" during the present year. That meaps that the immediate cost of the 12 1-2 per cent incrcasg to them will be in excess of $8,000,000. In addition to this im- mediate outlay, however, there is the fact that the increase is a continuing one—-—the farmers

year but also throughout years to come.

It was on March 30 that the Wartime Prices and-Trade Board raised the ceiling prices on steel by five per cent. It took the agricultural implement makers just under a fortnight —- l3 days to be exact-to seCure a I2 1~2 per cent in- crease in their gross prices to make up for the 5 per cent rise in the cost of one of their raw materials.

The experience of the impleiﬁeut makers was in striking contrast to that of the farmers. The Liberal Government promised the farmers duty-free agricultural implements in the 192i campaign which first returned it to power after the last war. It was more than twenty years later—-0n Iulv t, tg44—before the promise was

O Succession Duties

A than dies in Prince Edward Island and lcavcs an estate of $50,000 to his widow, also a resident of this Province. In the estate are sharcsin Ontario porporations to the value of $30,000. Prince Edward Island taxes the en- tire estate, but Ontario taxes the $30,000 at the rate imposed upon $50,000 estates. This emuwvould pay nearly twice as ouch in the two taxes as it would have done had sll the pro- perty been located in cizher one of the Prov- itices. If the estate IS divided among more than two Provincgs. so much the worse for the beneficiaries.

This point is emphasized in an editorial in the Winnipqlj Free Press. The nigger in the woadpile is that a Province taxing a part of an estate charges the rate (as distinct from the amount) Ywhich‘ applies not to the part but tn

y the whole estate.

Cardinal McGuigan provided food for re- flection when, in telling an Ontario audience of what he saw recently in Europc, he said: "There is a terrible danger that after all thcse disappointments and disillusionments we shall lose faith in moral principles and surrender our- selves to the rule of brute force, anxious only to secure that the brute force shall be on our side.”

Though there is about a half a million drop in the butter in storage at the end of May, i: must be borne in mind that this is due to incrcased export and not decreased production. The faﬁners and crcameries are not letting up by any means, and would do even better had they the ncccssary hclp at their command.

Scanning over the job application lorms to see if they had been properly filled out, a per- sonnel director of Veterans came across one which read: “Age of father, if living -— I20. Age of mother, if living -—- 112." The director called the applicant over and asked in surprise, “But your parents aren't that old, arc they P" "Oh, no sir," replied the applicant, “but they would have been-if living.”

This is how the matter stands, as at March 30, regarding veterans‘ credits. They collected $5,046,096 in re-establishment credits during March, the highest monthly total yet. A total of 24,456 veterans used all or part of their credits during the month, with the largest num- ber, 15,978, using $2,542,267 for furniture and household equipment. Re-establishutetit credits, outright grants equal to basic war service gratu- itics may be used for a wide variety of auth- orized purposes and usually are taken as an alternative to training or veterans’ land act as- sistance.

Sigmund Freud, psychologist, born this date 1856; professor in Vienna University, with whom psycho-analysis is usually associat- ed; his theory (Frcudism) regards human life as a struggle between two principles——the pleas- ure principleund the reality principle; in life we find it necessary to. suppress a great many desires because we have no means of gratify- ing them; these are driven out of our conscious- ness, with the result that they gather below the threshold, forming “complexes" in the uncon- scious, and often influencing our conduct with- out our being aware of the origin of. the in- fluence; psycho-anclysis is the study of the con- tent of this unconsciousness in ourselvcs and others. ~
