The powcr to enforce standardization of goods is sure to become an important weapon in the battle ngziiiis: inflation. In a recent declara- tion of principles, the War Prices Board said: “If a store wishes to scll goods of a differ- ent kind or tlllflilll’ not sold during the base pcr- iod, the pricc niiist not be more than the highest price charged for siihsttnitinlly similar goods dur- ing the SIllliC ihlvlt‘ ticriotl. .-\ii_v new goods that are inferior iii i|ii:ilil_\', iiizitcrizil, style, workman- ship, size or weight, niiist be sold for a pro- portionzitclyi lower yiricc.” In the LThC of cigarettes, for instance, it will he illegal for the comiiziiiics to tztlce one or two cigarettes out of a lillthilgc‘ in order to cover high- er costs, or mcrcly to make more profit, unless yicrmission is given.

In the czisc of sliiplc foods and articles that are already stzindiirizctl. the board's problem will be to compel tnnniifncttirers to maintain their standards. In the last analysis, this may be im- possible for lhcm to do, and then they would have to obtain permission to sell an iiifcriior product. This, too, lins bt-cn foreseen by the Board, which has declared that in due course it will issue a list of maximum prices, “based on the cost of merch- andise."

He ivns also nimlc an honorary member of the hlerclirint Company. After commcnting on the establishment of the Polish medical school at the University, Mr. Winant said perhaps the greatest issue of the present war was the freedom of the iridividua! in a different world in which Christian virtues and moral values ivcrc not spurned as decadent and out-motled——a world where honest work was recognized and a man could 0\vn himself.

German Potato Shortage For the first time since the war started, Gcr- many has liad to ration potatoes. Since I939 the lowly spud has liccontc the mainstay of the Ger- man dict, this notwitlistziiitliiig the amount of other foodstuffs stolen from llic starving people of occupied liuropc. 'l‘liis yczir the potato crop amounted r0 65,oo0.ooo tons compared with 7o,- 000,000 tons last year. Human consumption amounts to about 22,000,000 tons. However, this year's potato crop was of poor quality. The potatoes wcrc ivct and hard t0 store. The need for kcqiiiig siifiplics moving to the invasion armies iii hiissin has taxed the German railway sy-stcm in Célplitjlly and it can spare neither the nit-n nor the rolling stock to move food. _ Neither fish nor ccrcrils are rationed in Bri- tain or l\‘it.-si:i but Iioili are in Germany and even tlico they nrc sr-liloni available iii the stores.

The Germans will not starve this winter al- though the Belgians, Dutch, Norwegians, Danes and the Russians in the occupied areas ‘nay. But every time the R. A. F. and the R. C. A. F. bomb a German railway yard or warehouse the Nazis have more trouble in petting the food they stole from the mouths of the conquered people into the mouths of their own. Their troubles. in this respect, we can confidently hope, arc only just beginning. = EDITORIAL NOIES -.

National Union financial organizations which control campaign funds ind virtually con- trol the party's policy, have revolted. At a meet- ing attended by l\lr. Menzies, the Victorian members 0f the Fcdcrzil Party and members of the Victorian State Party unanimously decided a drastic reorganization of the party wzis necessary 0n an Australia-wide basis Accordingly the members are stimmonitig a conference of parlia- ent members of all statcs to consider changes The mziiii ground 0f dissatisfaction is that the financial organization of the National Union is over conservative with its distribution of campaign funds. If Mr. Menzies is able to rally the Fed- cral members iii other statcs it is possible a new Liberal Party may emerge backed by financiers and financial institutions. at m w m Your policy will cost you more. Mr. Leroy A. Lincoln, president of the Metropolitan Life In- surance Company, announces that effective Jan- uary I, I942, the company will adopt new policy forms with reserves and cash values based on an interest rate of 2 3-4 Per Cent. instead of the higher interest rates now used. Mr. Lincoln says the yield now obtainable on investments ap- propriate for a life insurance company is low and there is little evidence there will be any material improvement in the near future. While new premium rates reflect rcccnt improvement iii mortality, Mr. Lincoln says, the efficct of low in- tcrest rates greatly overshaclows this improve- ment so that premium rates are generally in- creased. Tlie increase in premium rates will vary according to the plan 0f insurance and age of the insured. The younger the applicant, of course, the better the terms. a a e a In Toronto complaint is made that there has been a steady increase in the consumption of li- quor, Is it any wonder considering the water ‘supply? Toronto residents have been drinking diluted sewage" for the last 30 years, the Board of Control was told by Mr. N. J. How- ard, director of the City's filtration system. H: said he knew of no other city in the world that had adopted the practice of dumping sewage be- tween its, two water intakes. “I mean that the water which is drunk by the people of Toronto is nothing more nor lcss tlfan sewage in a diluted and sterlized form. He added that this did not riyessarily mean that To'1nt0's water is dangerous from a health point of view since chemical treatment renders it acceptable, according to medical standards. Yes whiskey, according to the text books is a notori- ous killer of microbes in water. I I l i Canadian oysters for Canadians would seem to be the trend for the present oyster season. Due to foreign exchange regulations, the American sources for slicll fish are out as far as Canada is concerned the result being that oysters from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island centres on the Canadian National Rail- ways are now in greater demand than ever, Montreal's consumption of‘ oysters on the she.l leads that of other Canadian cities. Thirty car- loads, representing over 5.000 barrels of oysters, represents an average season. While these, for the most part, are shipped bv freight, special con- signments. required for banquets, etc, are for- warded by express. The largest single express shipment of oysters since the beginning of the war, was handled last Thursday by the Canadian National Express. This consisted of 24 barrels. weighing 4,320 potinds and arrived on the Mari- time Express from Avoiidiilc, N.
