relations has a. reel task on hand and one which I trust they will tackle in true Rotary fashim.

Rotary clubs have been success- ful inunany instances in breaking down walls oi distrust between] farmers and business men, created ' often by self-serving agitators.’ They have accomplished this by studying and understanding the farmers viewpoint. Needcss to say their services are still required.

In Canada today, and in the world at large farming is at a low ebb, unattractive and rather un- profitable. This condFion to some extent may be due to lack oi thrift on the part oi the farmers, and t» lack oi applying up-to-date know- ledge, but in the main has been due to the fact that farming has been enmeshed in the net of huge urban development.

Those who claim to have studied

| oi farming, unemployment, low

prices, etc, is due very largely to an unbalanced condition between rural and urban society which arose from a too rapid urban in- and from carrying this development too far. The youth were enticed away from the farms by the promise of large wages and other advantages of city life.

In Canada the economic leaders driven by fear of the loss of the youth of the country to the United States have built up too hirrriedly an urban system that has proved so far more attractive than the rural life oi the country that this urban system has grown altogether out oi proportion to its base. »

In France whera the National Policy has long been one of re- fusal to permit the growth oi ur- ban industries to-"sap "rural life, less critical conditions hhve existed than elsewhere, and a little spe- cial action hss been needed to maintain stability.

In many European countries the general public appreciation. oi the dependence of urban on rural life is greater than in the English speaking world. As an exception, the French Canadians have kepti alive a faith in the special sanctity oi rural life aniline beliefwthat land is wealth. “f ' '

Now since the post war crash industrial development has decid-i edly slowed up, there are many unemployed in the large industrial centres. Many oi these came from the country in the first instance and their refusal to return merely shows that now they are unwilluig to accent work on the land at the wages the‘ it is possible for farm- ers to pay them,

‘Had the difference in wages be- tween the countrv and the city not been so great this change from country to city would not have been so rapid, and if it were now

ossible to spend some of the money paid io unemployed for the

| needed development of the country a much better condition would no doubt exist.

One group of people say that

unemployed,

many oi the present should go back to the land; others claim-What! more farmers-when already there is overproduction.

But the question is. is there overproduction, when many are starving? If there is overproduc- tion then our forefathers were wrong in opening up new countries and finding new wealth. Summing up this phase it appears that tho economic leaders of modern so- ciety have made the major errol" of failing to learn the economic unity of city and country. They have devoted their efforts to the building of an urban civilization, forgetting that its very existence must depend on the sound life of the country side. They have not done this because they wished to ignore the farmer, but because they did not know that rural life was dying. They did not bribe the young men to leave the farms be- cause they intended to throw them out of rnployment later. but be-j cause they did not realize that i1‘ they brought too marry to the city they would later pay taxes to sup- port thorn.
