Declares Price Control Rests With The People

UITAWA. Nov. l5—(A.P)—D0n- aid Gordon, Prices Board chairman said tonight the decision as to whether Qanada is to continue

rice and rent controls rests with the Canadian people and Ml Wm‘ the Government.

In the last of a series of five radio broadcasts on the 18¢" 0f price controls, Mr. Gordon said in an address preliared f" delivery over CBC networks that the gov- ernment could not successfully. carry on controls without the sup- port of the Canadian people.

wick received supplies from West-

“Wo should remember tint it

would not be difficult to break-

down price control if enough people interest in maintaining it." he said. "It could easily break to nieces on the rock of divergent in- terests as it has in the U010!!! States if we did not face up to the facts, or if we tried to have it both ways.

"Canadi~ans— all Canadians, he they industrialists or wage earners- iarmers or fishermen, producers or consumers-move to make the choice. Government policy. which the Prices Board is administering-

_ has been declared. but. it can only Ibr- i-‘uolemented, it can only suc- ‘ceed if ft commands

widespread public support,"

If the people decided that the re-adjustment of the country's economy in the present abnormal ‘conditions should be uncontrolled. "then we must be prepared to ac- cept sudden or sharp advances in prices of many necessities and a condition of near-chaos in tne field of shelter." '

"We must also take the very serious risk-in my view, it is a certainty-of a fol- lowing slump in prices, in em-

in farm incomes."

Recent events in the United States. where all price control has been removed, except on rentals. sugar and rice. were bound event- ually to have a. merited influence upon this country.

"But," said Mr. Gordon, “even forces must, in the long run, bring the price levels of both countries into enuillhrlun], it is, nevertheless, possible for Oeneda to avoid ‘he painful type of sharply inflation- ary and subsequent defl-atiousry adjustments which are ell too evi-

dent ln the land of our great neighbour. "By holding to our present

r"\"‘.'s?. we can have the benefit of being able to form a judgment rm the wisdom of our actions simply by contrasting price. and supply conditions here with those of the United States."

if most Canadians favor a eon- tinuetfon of some controls, they will have t_o “recognize that the price of a controlled re-adjustment == willingness to accept responsib-

.ility for price control by going

ijust demands for higher wages higher ‘prices. and higher in-
