Compass Antics

Since Columbus discovered to his horror on September 13, 1942 that the compass needle no longer pointed to the North Star. thereby becoming the first man to observe magnetic variation, mankind has learned niuch about the earth's magnetism. The introduction of iron ships and electrical equipment added problems of ship's devia- tion to the task of the navigator. “Compass variation". however. is an excellent example of man's habit of explaining the unknown by giving it a name. and it is somewhat hu- miliating to reflect that Canadian scientists, even after this year's study of the problem, can give no clear explanation of the Pell- grinations of t‘*~ magnetic pole. although they have long been predictable. even over a period of years. 'l'hree other U995 °l variation, of shorter duration, have been studied by two professors of the California institute of 'l'echnology with these conclu- sions; A daily swing, in the United States from East in the morning to West in the afternoon, is ascribed to the sun's output of infra-violet, light. which both heats and lonizes the upper atmospllefei a llggle 01' dance at intervals of 27 days is attributed to minor storms in the upper air; 811d 0C- cagiongl wild swings which coincide with rljsrllption of radio and telegraphic com- munication reflect radical spells of instabil- lty in the atmosphere in its rotation around the earth itself. impelled by the earth's own Ifotation. and being most pronounced at the ‘equinox. when storms are most likely and also inﬂuenced, like the tides, by the phases of the moon.

egg business, and that, too, will have its effect on the surplus. Whatever is done, it is to be hoped the results will not be sim- ilar to those in the United States, where Washington's price policy has resulted in the possession by federal authorities of 62,- 000,000 pounds of dried eggs or the equival- ent of 1,232,000,000 dozen whole eggs.

All political parties in Canada are com- mitted to a policy of giving the farmer a fair price for his products so it. is possible the Government will be in the business of buying food in a big way. The Agricul- tural Prices Support board supports butter and cheese lay actually buying the products at the floor prices and selling them to the trade at slightly" higher prices. Officials at Ottawa arc hopeful the demand for both these foods will he sufficient so that there will be no great drain on the treasury’.

flew Banking Record

Highly encouraging, as reflecting the general level of prosperity in Canada, is the financial statement of the Royal Bank of Canada for 1949, which appears elsewhere in toda_v’s Guardian. Covering the twelve months period ending November 30, the statement shows total assets increased by well over $112,000,000, to reach $2,334,985.- 354, the highest le\'el in Canadian banking history‘.

Indicative of the scale of public saving is the steady increase in the Royal Banks interest-bearing deposits, which are now over two and a half times the 194i figure. Steady increases are also noted in com- mercial loans, in liquid assets, in Bank pre- mises account, and in profits.

The Royal Bank of Canada has grown from a single office in Halifax in 1860 to become one of_ the great banking institu- tions of the world, operating 666 branches

in Canada and with foreign branches in Cuba and the West Indies. Central and South America, London. Paris and New"

York.

present level of support was causing serious over-production. This organization repre- sents ten regional and national groups. Now the American Farm Bureau, one of the largest of U. S. farm organizations, has an- nounced its resolve to fight the Brannan Plan which is backed by President T ruman. The Associated Poultry and Egg Indus- tries were worried lest present Government policy lead either to rigid state control of the whole industry’ or to the collapse of the entire support system because of the ex- pense involved. The Bureau opposed the Brannan Plan because it would cost a

content to let the thought be taken for

the deed.

Senator Sinclair's regrettable illness ls causing concern not" only here but at Otta- wa where he holds a high and honoured place in both official and unofficial opin- ion.

"staggering sum" and make farmers de- pendent. on federal handouts. It supported instead a system of flexible price supports. such as prevails at present.

The Brannan Plan, which Congress turn- ed clown but which Mr. Truman is seeking to revive. would allow perishable farm pro- duct prices to find their own level as far as the wholesale and retail end of the business was concerned. Where, however. these wholesale and retail prices were insufficient to give the farmer a predetermined fair re- turn for his labor, the difference would be made up in the form of Government. sub- sidies. The parity system, on the other hand, is determined by dividing the farmer's cash receipts for each year by the same year's index of the prices paid by farmers for goods and services, including allow- ances for interest and taxes. Thus a parity index is established. When prices fall below it. or below a set level, the Government steps in with loans, outright purchase or other forms of assistance to assure the farmer of a parity return.

In Canada, should the Government de- cidé to support egg prices it will doubtless seek to hold the balance fairly between the producer and the consumer. The price of 521/2 cents a dozen in the current British contract influenced prices on the domestic market. The producer received 42 cents, the other 101/,- ceiits going for storage, two inspections, preparing the eggs for export, and egg crates. Possibly a floor price of about 38 cents might be fair to producers and consumers alike.

Canada is shipping about. 35.000000 dozen eggs to Britain this year, about one- tenth the total production. The remainder ls consumed in Canada. If domestic prices drop somewhat, it Is likely that consump- ilon will rise, so that at least: some of the surplus will be disposed of in that manner. At the same time, some marginal producers mny find it unprofitable tn remain in thi-

supply its own confusion. O I The ten-year-old British "intellectual" magazine Horizon is suspending publication for one year because of increasing costs of production. Suspension, in such a case, is a euphemism. A more flown to earth publi- cation would be said to have folded.

The U.

Provincial Treasurer C. M. Fines says that Saskatchewan was the only province to reduce its total debt in the fiscal year end- ed last March.
