Getting Rid of The Boss

A lot of otherwise reasonable people in Canada and elsewhere fall prey to the easy illusion of socialism because they think it means getting rid of the boss. Countries which have tried the socialist panacea find that, far from getting rid of .the boss, the worker only succeeds in substituting an- other kind of boss for the one he formerly had. The new socialist, boss is really a tougher proposition for the worker to deal with because he is not only a boss but a bureaucrat as well. This means that work- ers' grievances, instead of being dealt with expeditiously as is the case in private in- dustry, must grind slowly through the mat chine of government and, even then, fre- quently nothing is done about them. This accounts in large measure for the marked deterioration in labor-management relations in socialist Britain since the Attlee Gov- ernment took office.

In Britain today dissatisfied workers are following with interest what is happening in Western Germany. For German work- ers, having discovered that socialism which merely transfers ownership of a plant from private hands to the state is no improve- ment and indeed quite the contrary, are turning to a modified version of what is known as "syndicalism.” Boards of direct- ors of the iron, coal and steel industries of the Ruhr are to consist of five members designated by management, five by the un- ions and an impartial chairman. ,

The futility and danger of this exper- iment in syndicalism is apparent. It will mean that the Boards of Directors of Ger- man corporations, instead of serving a single master, which is the interests of ef- ficient management of the industry, will serve three masters, management. labor and the industry.

When these experiments with socialism, syndicalism and Communism have run their course perhaps experience will sug- gest to the workers that the criteria of good industrial relations and a high liv- ing standard lie, after all, in the system which maintains in Canada today. Es- sential ingredients of that system are max- imum freedom from bureaucratic control, direct man-to-man relations between man- agement and labor, and a clear recognition of the relationship between incentive and

reward.

liova ScotIa's Misfortune

Mr. W. F. Carroll, M.P. for Irivei'ness- Richmond, N. S., had the temerity to rise in the House of Commons and condemn his fellow Nova Scotians for "yapping"' un- deservedly on account of the province's backwardness industrially. He said there had been the same "preaching and prat- tling" down through the years. if Nova Scotia had no industry today it was because they thcmsclves sold out at a profit after Confederation, and had no vision regard- ing their future. which he attributed to "the selfishness of our own people." Mr. Carrolllknows whereof he speaks. He re- calls that numerous industries in Halifax. Amherst, ctc., were founded and reached paying proportions, only' to find Quebec and Ontario interests come down, and. by offer- ing a premium to stock-holders, have the industries transferred to the more pop- ulous provinces. The Halifax Herald of the old days noted this tcndency,. and fbught it with all its might; but without gbcoess, the present dollar profit had more appeal than.the future prosperity of the province. Nova Scotia Province is there-

Ilocmtlon Area

Summerside is to have a new recreation area according to resolutions of the Town Council providing for the site and closing a street so that it will not be separated from the present baseball park.

The need for such playgrounds has grown with the gradual extension of the built-up area around town 'and city. A few years ago there were open spaces with- in easy reach of almost every Island youth to play ball or otherwise engage in healthy outdoor activity.

Charlottetown has actually a play- ground less than it had a generation ago. The old C.A.A.A. ground has long passed into private hands to the loss of young- sters and with no great advantage to the City generally.

Our open spaces are a valuable heritage and worth preserving and using.

3 Notes From Q. A

t

LONDON, England:-

It. is almost traditional with us. I suppose, to shun the idea of physical fitness; outwardly at any rate, although it is more of a pose than a face, as we are probably just as fit, as a nation, as most other races. It is common to re- gard a chap who goes in for strenuous dally exercise as some- thing of is madman, and most of us remember with a kind of toler- ant revulsion the Physical Train- ing Instructors we met. during our service careers. The P.T. sessions were regarded as is penance to be avoided by any amount of subver- fuge, and the P.T.I., himself invar- iably bursting with health almost to the point of indecency, seemed to be some kind of ogre,.ever ready to torture us with his harsh com- mands to bend, stretch. Jump, run and cavort in numerous other ways specially and dlabollcally thought up (it seemed) for the purpose of inflicting the utmost discomfort on us. We felt better for it. of co se. even if we would rather have died than admit it.

0 0 0 There is. however, one form of exercise. apart from games playing (which is regarded on sport and therefore not really counted as exercise), to which as a nation we are not particularly averse: walk- ing. That's is form of exercise that commends itself on several counts. It requires no elaborate prepara- tions, no special equipment, no preliminary training, not even any particular aptitude, and it can, be- sides all this, be 9. source of econ- omy: for a walk can often save a bus fare or the cost of any other form of mechanical transport you may otherwise. hrve to use. .

such sights In these Ind wIndei- south of the West End to the Thames embankment. There you can walk by the side of the river. or just lean over the parapet and stare down into the water as it flows by; there, if you have thoughts to think, you can medit- ate undisturbed: or if your mind is at rest and you just want solit- ude, there you can be all alone. The chances are you will be, save perhaps for a few courting coup- les, an occasional stroller, or lean- ei-on-the-paropet like yourself, and countless birds nesting quietly in the trees. By far the greater part of walking London will be swirling about the pavements of Regent Street. Oxford Street, Pic- cadilly, Leicester Square and the rest of that area of concurrent, elegance and vulgarity.

The walkers occupy themselves in many ways, and perhaps one of the most popular diversions 'is window-shopping. This, like walk- ing itself, is inexpensive: assum- ing, that is, that you are taking your exercise on a day or at I time when the shops are closed: for then, whatever you may see in the windows. and however much you may desire to purchase what you see. you can't unless you come back when the shop is open. In the meantime you will have had second thoughts and your money stays in your pocket.

Other walkers just walk, lost in their own thoughts, and seeing little of what goes on around them. Others still are content to stand at their case, preferably on a cor- ner of is black, and watch the traffic, of which there is an abun- dance at almost any hour. The theatres, too. are sources of lively interest. even if you have no in- cllnatlon to see the show; there are the pictures outside. the sud- iences as they leave. or the stars themselves emerging from the stage door.

But most of all there Ire people. to watch. and that is perhaps the secret of it; all. Londoners are a gregarious race in the main, and are happiest in a crowd. As they walk they are in company of their fellow-men, even if they speak not a single word to any of them. It seems to be enough that they are there. and if they have gone "up west" to see the people. they are only seeing others who have come down to see the same. If to them London In the greatest show on earth, it is they who have made it so. for. as Shakespeare said: "The people are the city".

No McInne.I would wear the Robertson tartan and no Gordon would wear the Campbell whilst no Lowlander with a spark of decency would dare to wear a tartan at all. That is how the matter stands in Scot- land, but Leonard Mllall, the BBC's Washington correspondent, spoke in Radio Newsreel" of the craze for tartan that is sweeping Amer- ica.

Returning to his own shop, the purchaser, whose name appropri- ately wns John Murray, proceeded to examine his purchase, when the proprietor came along. . ”Wel1, John, what have you got there?” he inquired.
