-' Wrong Diagnosis

Inflation. like the measles. manifests it- self in a variety of forms. Sometimes the disease is short-lived and may be cured by relatively simple treatment. Sometimes. too, it takes a virulent turn which calls for really heroic measures if the patient is to be restored to economic health. An accurate diagnosis is of prime importance if permanent injury to the body politic is to be avoided.

Official Ottawa's failure to recognize the nature of the particular inflation virus which now infects the country explains why, despite the heavy dose of tax medi- cine and credit controls which have been administered. the cost-of-living" thermo- meter continues to rise. For the economic disease from which Canadians are suffer- ing today is not the mild and relatively temporary ailment of too-few-goods in- flation. In fact, shops and warehouses everywhere are filled with goods of every description. Rather, it is something far more serious.

When Finance Minister Abbott brought down the Budget last Spring the remedies for Canada's economic malady suggested very clearly that in the opinion of the ex- perts at Ottawa this country was suffer- ing from too-much-credit inflation, coup- led with the danger of complications should too-few-goods inflation follow wlren de- fence production got into its stride. What the Budget failed utterly to recognize was that in reality a much more virulent form of economic disease known as cost-of-pro- duction inflation was gnawing at the Vitals of the economy.

Cost-of-production inflation results from violent increases in public expenditure and is characterized by ever increasing taxes. Since nearly all taxes become costs of pro- duction, much higher prices are frozen into wages. food costs. transportation costs, and the whole productive fabric of the country. Experience shows that the inflated price average is nearly always per- manent. Cost-of-production inflation car. only be halted by rigid curtailment of pub- lic spending by Ottawa coupled with a re- duction in taxes which form so-substar-.- tial a part of production and living costs.

Once Bitten

Last year, notes an exchange, many veil-meaning persons signed the Stockholm Jetition. Despite repeated warnings. they failed to realize that in doing so they were serving the ends of the Communists. Tu those who do not give close attention to international developments the language of the petition doubtless sounded plausible enough but it was in fact a Communist rap for the gullible and everyone who signed it contributed. however innocently, to the power political purposes of the So- viet foreign office. This realization, com- ing of course too late, caused many citi- zens acute embarrassment.

A similar trap has been baited now. This time it is an ”appeal" for the conclus- ion of a pact of peace by the five Great Powers. The campaign is as fraudulent as certain of Hitler's offers in the years before the war. Of course the appeal is not represented by the "peace congress" people as a Soviet propagandist instrument. It is however being plugged for all it is worth by Communists everywhere. The first num- ber of the new Soviet propaganda bulletin, News. devotes a long article to it which contains this paragraph:

"Peace supporters in Edmonton, Regina and Winnipeg, Canada, are vying with one another in the collection of signatures to the Appeal. The Canadian Peace Congress has challenged peace partisans in Great Britain to a competition for the canvassing of signatures." -

The Congress is of course an organiz- ation of Communists and their dupes. The title "peace partisan" is one which the Communists have appropriated for their own purposes. Anyone who signs this docu- ment is allowing his name to be used by those responsible for the war of aggres- 'sion now being fought against the United Nations and the suffering people of Korea.

should really prove its worth. I O O The Provincial public speaking contest for junior farmers has become quite an in- stitution .and one which should prove of value to the community as well as the parti- clpants. O I O The report about United Kingdom child- ren shipping Christmas presents to northern Newfoundland and Labrador is a useful reminder that the Old Country is by no means wholly on the receiving end of the "bundles" business. . O O I No thief is meaner than the one who steals possessions of those who have been evacuated by fire. It is to be hoped those who picked up iiunconsiciered trifles" at Saturday's conflagration will have the grace to return them to their rightful own- ers. O O Q It is not altogether true that the means test is to be abolished for those over seventy. Those receiving war veterans' al- lowances have them reduced by the old age pensions received by the veteran and his wife. Other benefits, hon ever, such as hos- pitalization, are not interfered with. O O 0

We are to have another Trade and Industries Fair under the direction of the Y's Men's Club next month. This entails a lot of voluntary work and direction on the part of an enterprising organization. ani everyone in a position to do so should endeavour to help along a good cause.

I O O Summerside did itself proud yesterday, and attracted hundreds of people from all quarters to help it to celebrate a great and memorable event. They are great co-oper- ators in Summerside, and work as one man in putting anything over big. They reap what they sow. O O D No fewer than 176 Income Tax officials in the Montreal district are under notice to quit because they do not fit into the reorganization of the department. The dis- missal notices, which gave the employees- a. months warning, came as a complete surprise to many of the workers, some of whom had served for eight years with the department. 0 C I The royal tour committee will. soon be making a flying visit to confer on ar- rangements with Island officials. The double purpose of allowing as many as possible to see the Princess and Prince and the royal couple to have as pleasant a visit as possi- ble requires the careful consideration of possibly conflicting aims. I O I Mr. E. Manning Bagnall who has re- ceived well-merited promotion to the mana- gement of the F. J. Brennan Co. Ltd.. Saint John, N. B., will be greatly missed in busi- ness and financial, circles where he has enjoyed the reputation of being one of our foremost boosters. This is in reality an example of what is our loss is Saint John's gain. I O I Not a few citizens viewing the vacancy between Grafton and Kent Streets are sug- gesting that there is an ideal spot for the Federal Building, currently designated for the block bounded by Richmond, Queen, Sydney and Pownal Streets. There are no two ways about it, but it could prove an ideal site; and the Federal Government should have little difficulty in disposing of the lots it acquired elsewhere. - O O O

Whrren Hastings, first govemor-gen- eral of India, died this date 1818. For the East India Company and for India he prov- ed a wise and far-seeing administrator, in- stitutlng reforms in government and courts which were taken as models by his suc- cessors. I-lis enemies, securing the support of Burke, had him impeached in 1788 but after seven years trial he was acquitted on all counts.

AN AWFUL MESS

Sir,-I hear people complain of

thk state of "society. They com- plain -s-bout. politics being cor- rupt, drinking on the increase.

women losing their dignity. dis- honesty winked at. a general low- ering of the moral level. etc. So I ask them - Are you going to do anything about it? Well I do not think that we will be able to pull ourselves out of it. I see long convincing letters in the paper against one evil or an- other. But it does not seem it) be enough. I feel that race track gambling. liquor advertising. Sat.- ui-day night horse racing and non-church going. are the things that fill the vacuum or vacancy where religion and activity. in the service of God and human- ity should be.

We older people have been negligent to our trust. We have let. things go by default. Some of us have been trying to be just. good enough to save our own souls and let the rest of the world go by. Mayvbe we'll miss our guess. God has only one remedy for sin - ”the Man Christ Jesus". In Him we see absolute honesty. absolute purity. absolute unselflshness, absolute love and absolute courage.

Back in the middle ages, saint- ly people retired to a monastery to be further from sin and near- er to God. Today we are in- clined to keep Christ in the Church building and restrict Him to just certain times in the week. we say - Religion and politics do not mix well. We imagine his pres in our schools would be injurious in some way, we scarcely know how.

I would like to speak about a new book by Rev. James Keller of New York - "Careers that change your World". He throws the responsibility squarely upon each one of us. But he expects most response from young people 15 to 26. who have not yet. got. settled into s lifetime job. He says - whether you are I doc- tor. s farmer, a cook or a stove- dore. there is something you can do to change the world for the better. You can learn all you can about the more influential csllln-gs that he names and you may persuade others to enter them. Father Keller puts edu- cation or the teaching p. ' ' as the gi-eateot. opening for one who wishes to use his influence the right way. Then he puts cores- pondence or iournslinn. television. which we will soon have with us. In regard to it. the big question is will it be for good or evil. All these things are given to us by the great Creator and we are His trustees. It has been said that the most important thought that can enter any-ono's mind is .1 responsibility

but to copy from one page of this book. Father Keller. I Catho- lic priest. in New York says: "Because most of us have taken the 'Iat Gooi-ga do lt' attitude. we have presumed that someone else would take care of over!- thing else. while we look good care of ourselves. We have neg- lected those careers that count. On the other hand the self seek-

dedicsted to perversion have been swarming into iaheln. "Christopher" lhelia ls - do something about it. More com- plaining accomplishes little. Bet- ter to light one candle than curse the dsriinessl

we respectfully address this book to you, whoever you may be. "After all it is your world. your government, your atomic energy. your television. your col- leges, your social services as much as it is anybody's."

On another page. after stat- ing that the word Christopher is derived from a Greek word meaning Christ bearer. he says: "there is no organization. no membership. no meetings. no dues." Headquarters at 18 East 48th Street, New York 17. N.Y. So this "Christopher" move- ment of Father Keller's is meant to bring Christian ideals and practice into "the market place." where your efforts on the side of right. will result in -a more de- cent world. Several books. such

as "One Moment Please". "Three Minutes s Day", "You Can Change the World". "Men of

Mnryknoll" are available in book- st-slls - all by the same nut.H'or. But the one - "Careers that Change your World" will be of most practical help in a home. where the choice of a calling is in the balance.

She wanted a new ice box, and her method of going about this was a very pretty thing to watch one evening the ginger ale would be lukewarm and. with an object. noolosy. she would say the freez- ing unit. no longer was up to ginger ale. On another day. clams would be suggested as a soothing Summer dish. but, speaking pltyingly.t;o abysmal ignorance. she would de- clare clams unwise. since they carry within themselves a vlruleni. i.yP9 of poison that could be held in check only by thorough refrig- eration. The old ice box was not capable of scotching the virulence of clams. At another time the box would be deemed incapable of making enough ice for both the dinner tea and what it was hoped might come after. A very pretty thing this was to watch. --New York Times
