Farm Sudsidies

When .\,-;rici1lt11rv: Xlinistt-r tiarditicr spoke in Charlottetoivn h.- dcalt with the stibsitlics paid by the tjovcriiiiieiit on farm products. What 11¢ did itot make cIear 1vas that these subsidies are not "handouts" to our lariticrs at all, but are given for the pllflitlst: 11f keeping farm ceiling prices 1l111vn. Without the food Sl1l.)$l(lli’5 eith- er one of t1v11 alternatives would have to be acceptcd~i11t1cl1 higher prices for food to con- sumers, or a1 dc ase in production with all the tt'o1il1le and difficulty that would have en- tailed. \\is.-lv 1.-:' 11tl11-:*\\istr——it diffiCl-lll l0 111d‘; dun, now-ii 1111s decided to control food prieq j pay subsidies to encourage produc- tioti.

But there is zinothcr iniportatit factor WlliCh Mr. Gardiner did not mention. but to which our Far-titers‘ Fault-tilting has called attention on several occasions. 'l'l1;-.1 is tltat the tnctltod uscd to encourage farm production is directly the opposite to thztt itsed to encourage labor and manufacture. ’l"r11e. wages and prices have been controlled. llll‘. there has been a general upward revision and new scales have been made permanent. 'l'l1e wartime gains of labor are now s1 part of basic 1vagcs, but the farmers’ main increases are still c11nsi<lcrcd as subsidies, s1ib- ject to the \\'ltit11 iii lhirliaiiieitt or various war- time boards and to he dropped as soon as the \\'ar Bleasures .»\ct l1ccomes inoperative. As .1 result the thinking farther feels his future is npne too secure —- this at a time when food pro-

uction is needed more than ever and farm con- ditions are none too bright.

Farmers who attended .\lr. Gardiner’s meet- ing were disappointed that he did not deal with this aspect gj his and their business a little more frankly. Or did he think he was fooling them by attempting to exploit the millions paid in food subsidies as an example of generosity on the part of the King Government?

On November 30, 1943," Mr. King's can- didate was defeated in Charlevoix-Saguenay, Quebec, by an independent, Mr. Dorioti, by 3.067 votes. ln 1940 this constituency has gone Liberaf by 3,408. Mr. Dorion had previously been Conservative organizer for the Province of Quebec. No official Conservative candi- dates ran in any of these constituencies. the policy of that party being not to contest during the war any by-election in a riding which had the gen- eral election. _

Next to the King Government's disaster in Cartier, Quebec, the by-election of Selkirk, Manitoba, revealed the most astounding decline in the Government's electoral strength in a tra- ditional Liberal riding. I11 I940 Selkirk had elected the Liberal candidate by 4,154. In a hv~elcetion held there on August 3, I943, the King Government's candidate was overwhelm- ingly defeated, polling less than 27 per cent of the total vote.

Winnipeg-North Centre had been carried by the C. C. F. in r940 and was retained by its cari- didate in a. by-electiOn in I942. But whereas it had ‘been a close thing in Winnipeg-North Cen- tre 1n I940, the (Eovernmeitfs stock had so slumped in two years that its candidate obtained less than 29 per cent of the popular vote in the by-election.

What happened in G fresh in the minds of be forgotten by Mr.

rey North, Ontario, is all and surely cannot King. It was the seventh by-electioit defeat of his Government in two and a half years, and was a flat repudiation of its manpower record. A grim and unbroken record of electoral disaster.

_ It is not remarkable that after these sting- ing rebuffs Mr. King allowed twelve other House vacancies to accumulate without calling a by-election to fill any of them. It is to be added that since the last general election the mounting unpopnlarity of the King Government has had a_ fatal reflex on Liberalism in the Provincial fields. Since I940 Liberal Governments have been expelled from office by the electors ot Brmsh Cdllmbla. gaskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec. And yet notwithstanding these indis- Pulﬂbl? Proofs of the helpless position in which the King Government now stands as it faces a general election, its leader complacently tells the people in a national broadcast that his is the only party with a chance of winning an over- all majority!

Trade ls n two-way street, and lt. wlll be even more that: way af- ter the war because so many cre- dits, formerly used for financing trade, have been used for financ- lrig the war.

Arid ln the buying and selling we provide a lot of Jobs for those who are ln transportation and services handling the commodities. -From the Lethbrldge Herald.

When th full log of the Queen Mary ls clsclosed, it. wlll contaln some thrilling episodes ln the war- time career of this regal lady of the seas. She almost capsized In one severe winter storm, expert- enced a number of narrow escapes from German U-bortts, and now the world ls told of how she col- lleded with and stink a British cruiser that was escorting her as she carried more than 15.000 Am erlcan troops. There was a lament- able loss of llfe among the crew of the cruiser, but the fact that the disaster was not even more tragic appears to have been clue to the liners stout build. That; she could survive such a terrible lm- pact. without her forward bulk-

eads crumpling ls extraordinary and a tribute to the men who fashioned her.

The fact that p cut In the Can- adian sugar ration came on the same day as the announcement of victory in Europe introduced a. sour note lnto the celebrations. 1t ls a sobering reminder that the effects of war are not immedi- ately wlped out by victory. There can be no objection to the cub ln sugar ratlons which should re- lease many millions of pounds for use overseas. Only n short. time ago the United States Government cut; allowances of sugar there and the new cut in Canada — which means five ‘pounds apiece less for each Canadian between now and the end of the year-puts Cann- dlans on the same basis as their allies in the United States and Britain. The imsslbtlltyl of sun- llar action with regard to meat must be considered. Supplies des- perately short all over the world and Canada ls_ the land of plenty to which starving people ln many lands look fnr help. It ls to be hoped that action ls taken to boost sugar beet production in Canada as tnuch as possible as one means of tneetlng the sugar shortageBut that will not be effective for sev- eral months, and in the meantime Canadians wlll have to go a bl: easy on sweets. It wlll probably do their figures no harm anyway. —London Free Press.

APPRECIATION FROM RED CROSS PRESIDENT

es ..

$111,000 has been pald in cash. Our peo le have correctly appraised the stuatlqn and prop- erly measured the need and have contributed accordingly. In brie slxth year of war a new high level was attained away above and greater than in any other Canad- ian province.

I told our loyal workers and contributors 5t the 111111118 of the campalcn that "YOUR Red Cross Society cannot. have too much money.’ My words are am- ply proven by the desperate and horrible revelations that have been unfolded In Germany ln the ast few weeks-revelations whlchs ow ‘such pltlsble inhuman and revolt-

not some comfort that our money will he? Christian work? our Red Cross Society wlll apply our money 11s far as ll: wlll go to the greatest need ln human history.

In the name of those poor vlc- tlms of German bestlal cruelty I thank the wonderful arm leotors and workers. I t. imk the generous contributors. They have exempliﬁed the great Christian virtue of Charity as never before, and their reward wlll be ln the increased blessings of Dlvlne Pro- vldence.

GREATER. FOOD PRDDUCTION AN URGENT NECESSITY

Bin- Durlniz bbe past ten clays Or S0 we have been sending out circulars to farmers, urging that wherever

for world use wlll be

lng from maximum effort. This direct approach to our farmers ls in line with the general appeal made through the Press by the Dominion Food lon Board, and ll: was with the intent of 1135111113 m; urgency of the situation that. ctr- cularlzutg w-as undertaken.

Recent press diillﬂbches tell us that. the four ounces per person per week rntlon of bacon ln Britain has been reduced to three ounces. Just. think! Less than one quarter pound per person per week, and bacon has always been a primary article of dleron the Englishman's daily menu. While the Production of all food supplies is a. matter of great con- cern lo our Government, special

pressure ls being directed towards n

that of increased hog production. By effectively trier-easing our efforts ln this connection we are not only helping to provide for an immed- iate world need. but we are cater- lng to. and maintaining our grip upon B. market that wlll continue to be an outlet for our products ln the years to come and long after other countries have become re-es- tabllshed as producers and caterers to general European requirements.

Once the English people have ac.

qulred a. taste and llklng for our h

Canadian product. we need have no fear of pre-war competition. that is lf we maintain our high standard of quality.

But for the moment ‘let 11s for- get the "prospective" angle of this question. The present prompting for greater iaroduetlon has as its ob- Jsctlve tne aplying of food for our immediate need. The war ln Europe ls over. but this fact does not lessen the need for food. In fact it increases the demand, be- cause the millions of Europe's civ- ilian population who have been on the verge of starvation, land ln many instances actually starving, during the past. flve years, are cry. in; out for focd and it must b: sup. plied That ls whv the Brlt. bacon allowance has been reslut: twen- ty-live percent to share with their destitute neighbors If Brit.- ‘aln can do it. why clfft Cﬂnﬂd-‘l and Canadians! ‘They must and they will and there's no getting away from it.

Canadians have not suffer-rd from the lack of essential tiourtshment during the war period Many of us lilave probably fattened during tihat tme. 11nd children have lived more lux- uriously than ever before. Revenuu from war expenditures made this

It. ls true we dld not get everything We want d or as much of it. as we wanted when we wanted tt. Rationing took care of this. But now, with a vastly increased world population to bsprovlded for. many of them ravenously hungry. ration- ing may not be big enough an lm- plement for the gob. Confiscation of available supp les and the ln- troductlon of an equitable system of world distribution may be nec- essary. It ls not to be assumed for a moment that any, section or sec- tlons can he permitted to languish midst plenty while others are des- titute and at the point of starva- t on.

No man can be expected to go be- yond hls reascrmblle capacity In produce. but. lf we can do better and fall to do so. we are simply ln- vltlniz a situation to develop that wlll be impalatmble. to say the least. Production to our utmost. rural cap- acltv ls the only preventltlve alratnst. ieglmentstlon of product and fr- rltatlng distributing regulations.

The maln battle wlll b0 between the Conservative leadership of Churchill, and the Labor Party. The latter has come out flat- footed for the establishment of “a Socialist Commonwealth of great Britain" which would call for swooping’ rationalization of indus- rysmmd f-a-roschfng public own- er p.

There wlll be other political ele- ments involved ln the election, ln- cludlng the Communists, but the Conservatives and the Socialists are the chlef contestants. The Con- servatives have a large malorlty ln the present House of Commons, but; the Cabinet is a1 coalition which was formed under Mr. Churchill for the prosecution of the war.

The Conservatives have a 12- polnt program which includes the pledge of British support 1n the war agalnlt Japan and urges co- operation wlth the Unltod States and Russia ln maintaining peace. It also calls for vigorous develop- ment of the Empire for the benc- fit of all its peoples. and stands for "the fullest opportunity for lndl- vldunl initiative."
