Too Many Beef Bosses

The alternative, he sans, 1S that th farmer “should be persuaded to part wuh his cattle now by payment of higher riccs." p .\lr. Gordon scores "the mistaken lmprssoion tint higher prices can be obtained in marketing! lawr ozi iu the season," and says this is causing the present shortages on the market. Mr. Gnrtlincr says the suggestion that soma- 011g was sliilrrlllQ because of s beef shortage wa. ujgrcatiy exaggerated."

The l"lllil)lC is that nobody knows who is boss. If i‘ is .\lr. fh-irdcm, why can't he order the M51 ' i>r 0f Agriculture into line. And vice vcr. The matter is of too much importatice to pct-mi: such confusion to exist, all for lack of a clear-cut govcrnmcut policy.

Pay for Patriotism

Criticism of the Government, in either peace 0r war, is the inherent right of every Cana- dian. Dissatisfaction with the men who happen to be running the affairs of the nation, however, can never be a valid excuse for failure to meet the obligations of citizenship, particularly dur- ing a time of national crisis. This fact has been strikingly enunciated by Hon. _l. L. Ilslcy, speak- ing to the directors of The Catiarlian Press and the Canadian Daily Newspapers Association. “I don't like to hear those who say they won't buy bonds and stamps because we won't do what they want us to do," he said.

Fortunately, comments the Windsor Star, there are few Canadians who adopt this attitude. There are, however, some who do, and they have little cause for pride. Such a stand reflects a complete failure to realize the awful require- ments of our present situation. Refusal to con- tribute to the necessary financing of this war does not injure those in the Government. It costs the lives of our fellow citizens. To de- mand, in return for contributions, that the Gov- ernment act in accordance with the ideas of each individual citizen, is a. criminally short- sighted and unpatriotic act_

At Arvida the effective forces iroulzl be iucrcas- ed so that four companies would be trained to- gether.

"In this district," he added. “more than 2,000 men Imve lllitlCfgfillfi training, and the figure is appreciable, but the popula- tion must understand that it is not enough.

which would prove even more dang- gerotis to their peace of mind. One wonders just how shorts endanger public morals. The village council at Burbld e announces that “economy in clot isno excuse for women wear- tng shorts"; do the village fathers really imagine that women wear shorts to save cloth? What s. quaint

idea! They wear them because they d

A high legal authority, discussing the Jotunals suggestion that clients should have adequate p.oteci.ton a- galnst the defalcattons of dishonest lawyers -uo profession is complete- ly proof against this sort of thing —-makes this comment: "There axe many difficulties in the way of out- and-out bonding, although as you are perhaps aware there is now legis- lutton requiring lawyers to keep pro- per accounts. . . . . The Law S0- mcty of Upper Canada have given this matter s. great desl of thought." Those difficulties are not clear to the layman. The Law Society pos- sesses wife disciplinary powers over Ontario lawyers. A statute making It an offence for any lawyer to take custody of s. client's cash or securi- ttcs unicss he ls bonded to give the client full proteci-‘on could be enforc- ed with ease by the Society, and ft Ls hard to believe that the great. ma]- ority of lawyers would object. They should indeed welcome the know- ledge that if one of their number succumbs to temptation his innocent clients will not lose their savings. And the regulation that lawyers must keep "proper accounts" ts not enough —an Ottawa case just. the other day is proof enough of that. The cooked lawyer wit] have ways of concealing his depredstiorm ln his books -and if he ls detected It L; again a case of locking the door after the horse has escaped. Thou- sands of cashiers and accountants in this country are bonded, and thcv do not feel that their integrity is bclmz questioned. It ts an ordin- ary business precaution and ta sc- cepted as such.
