For the first few minutes of the match it looked es if it were going to be a close knit battle with Doyle leading 9-8 but from that po n. on Doyle built up a lead to have a 39-20 margin at one time. Five straight ringers by Phillips at this point with Doyle gettin two put the loser back in the running but again the winner came on in the last part of the match to earn his l9 point margin at the finish.

LATTIMEB "The Providers of food in country rave done an amazing war- time job. partly because they have been more or less free to work for themselves individually". declared Dr. IE. Lattlmer. Professor of Farm Economics, MacDonald Col- dress on “Freedom or Famine" at Rotary luncheon yesterday. Dr. Laztimer. author oi an “Economic surf/Ev 0f Prince Edward Island" which was prepared for the Pm- yincral Government sit November. is continuing his researches here this summer. Canadian farmers have achieved 800d results by working for urem- selves individually. Dr, Lattlmer 881d. because farming is organized that way. This is not the case in all countries. Working for oneself may have its urcakness if offering the opportunity of exploitation cf the individual. This weakness Labe- 111g met. in the proposals of the Beverldge Report in Great Britain. which tries to ensure for every group fair treatment .whether they may be able to exact it for them- selvvtas or not . " 0 luvs-Barrio be getting al g pretty fast in taking this world's goods away from those who have the most and giving it to others." Dr. Lattimer said. “But as yet we have done little toward making the work week of equal length on all jobs. Naturally too much standar- dization carmot be expected to har- monize with freedom yet it may be pointed out that to monopolize em- ployment is Just. as harmful as to monopolize other things. World Trade "We have slowly learned that one individual ,or one group, or one section, cannot permanently build up by tearing others down. Even an endeavour to control the world runs a long course until all tn- deavours of appeasement are ex- hausted. In the early days of trade between nations. it was laid down as a rule that. a nation should sell more to other nations than it con- sumes of theirs in value. The im- possibility of such a condition be- ing permanent was soon realized. It later was demonstrated that nat- ions might trade with one another even though one na-tion was more efficient in producing the articles exchanged. This developed what is Iknown as the law of comparative costs. “Now we realize that volume of trade internationally on the comparative prosperity of the peoples with whcm we expect to trade. We are beginning to ac.- mit that we have paid and are pay- ing in much more expensive ways than mere money, for our cheap an earlier era. _ "The amazing accomplishment of the industry of agriculture in providing food in the war g-cars was partly due to its organization. One of the greatest advantages that the Allies trad over their enemies in this war was the ease with which thev secured their food supplies. "The North American continent has been t-he chief source of food dance of land and comparatively sparse population. which permits the output per man to be larger on this continent than in Europe. It also permits a different organiza- tion of farming. In this counts"; there is ten times the area of im- proved land per worker in farming than there is in Germany, about fifteen times that of Italy and eigh- teen times that of Bulgaria. The labour available for lighting and making other munitions of war is of necessity in proportion to the output per man in food production. Chief Causes "The comparatively high output of farm products per man in Canada is due to larger areas. more ni-aclii- nery and to the fact that farms are usually all in one piece. such is not ithe case in some parts of Europe. iwhere some farms consist of many hseparate parcels. as existed in Bri- itein before the time of the enclo- gsures. One example taken from iGermany was the case of a famt of 47 hectares (about 75 acres) con- sisting of 147 different plots. The distance of all plotsfrom thefarm- tsvtead totalled 162 kilomet-ers- (n- lbollt I00 nrdles). 'lhis wortld make lSunday rather a busy day if all ‘the amps were inspected. Yet with no fences between those small plots, it follows that this lay-out is much more favourable to mecha- nized warfare than to mechanized rmilng.
