The various cities require $30,- 000,000 to provide for unemployment this winter and want the Federal Government to foot the bill. Then both Ontario and Quebec object to the Federal Government entering their domain for tax raising, and want it- to get out.

To make this plain, let; us suppose that. the unearned incre- ment levy is five per cent. When the manufacturer sells $5 worth of goods, the government therefore would get 25 cents. Suppose the wholesale sold these same for $6. the government would get 30 cents. Then suppose the retailer sold them for $7. the government. would get 35 cents- Thc government cents from $5 worth of merchan- dise, or that. 1s 18 per cent of the danger ts to be avoided.

What effect will basic dlvl- dends have upon the drlnk traffic? Answer—There ls no real rela- ttonshlp between dividends and the drlnk traffic. Dlscourngement; and discontent bend to the drowning of sorrow. Contentment and happi- ness wlll lead men and women from debauchery. The control of the drlnk traffic 1s separate and distinct from the economic pro- blems of today.

If a citizen wishes to save credit for a journey, to build a home or enter lnto a special enter- prise. what may he do? Answer—One of the best ways for him to do this would be to pur- chase provlnclal bonds with his savings so that they may mature at. the time he intends to take the journey or biilld the home, or enter lnto a special enterprise. The state wou‘d then provide hlm with the necessary credit or money or trav- ellers’ cheques to enable hlm to carry out the enterprise at the time of his intention. t'l'liv~ islgiilfli-iiiiw- u! tlii- question niid iinswcn ought. not to he lriiit.

Would the hoarding of credit by bonds not be detrimental to the system? Answen-No The credit used in purchasing the bonds would be at once distributed 1n one of four methods: (l) Through the oompe ting price discount. People would be enabled to get. their goods at. a cheaper price. (I) Through publle works, the building of roads and bridges and public bulldlnge for the purpose o1’ Elvin! employment and wages, thereby increasing the purchasing Dower which would enable the citi- zens to buy more goods, (3) The increase ln the rate of Just. waxes.

It ls true the U.F.A. members and their interests and their theories were often sneered at. as visionary and unpraetlcal. It 1S true that when the dlvlslon bells rang, they usually stood up to be wanted on bhedtlfilflfl side. The fact remains that, durlng their four terms they were a moderatlnz- elevating, huinanlulng force 1n tlie councils of the Canadian nation. and that their speeches. inade con- sistently, courageously and labor- iously, year after year, dlnned ln- to the consciousness of the Can- adian people the need of doing something to remedy monetary and social abuses. For fourteen Years, the U.F.A. men have been the teachers of Parliament. a And now, they an gone. There ls not one of them left. Alberta sends to Parliament, instead of her veterans. a contingent of tyros. Of these new men, the country knows nothing. They may be the very salt of the earth. But they are new to Parliament and 1t. wlll take them years to learn the ropes. They go to Ottawa as pioneers of Social Credit, which 1s an advanced wing of monetary reform, but 1t Ls safe to say that. the beat of the lot 1s a. novloe on monetary problems compared with, say, Coote of .Mnc- leod or Spencer of Battle River. If Alberta 1s interested in bringing Social Credit influence to bear at Ottawa, 1t lii. of course. entirely justified 1n sending Social Credit members to sit. tri tlie Commons and speak and vote there. But; the province would have been much better advised lo have retained some of the old "professors" instead of throwing them lnto the ditch because they refused to keep step with the procession. The lal Creditors wlll find themselves tack- ling a monetary wildness at Ottawa. and they wlll lack the help of anyone who has ever been that way before. 1n favor of increasing the dividends, however very rapidly at first. We would be more favorable to the distribution of greater purchasing power by means of public works or price discounts. We feel certain that the amount of dividends per month wlll. however, be soon increased above $25. 21.

Gilbert And Sullivan (New York Tunes) Hesiketh Pearson's account, 1n Burners: of Gilbqi_f_t and stunt-ans Joint work 1n composing text and music of those comic operas which still, after fifty or sixty years, hold a foremost place 0n the Conlem.

Ho believes that Gilbert “was the first oomlo-opers llbnettlst to "achieve equality of standing with the composer? that Sulllvnn reognlzed the fact; that, indeed. “the composer was always the dlscple. the Ilbrettlst the master." Sullivan, he thinks, how- ever sflldslnlrlv. “was aware that his best. light music would never have been written but for Gll- bert." and he quotes Gilbert's own remark that “the same humor al- ways struck us in the some way; with Sullivan I never had to do that fatal thlsg-expluln a joke." This was at least. a. possible lie- Klnnlng. But who took the leadership ln preparing the comic ‘meme? Was the music written and the libretto more Ol‘ less cleverly adapted t0 lb? Was the Operetta a simple case of "words set to music"? Or were both words and miislc prepared in a series of conferences? These are questions which have been put by two generations of mimic-hall patrons. Mr. Peason describes the actual method: “He (Gilbert) usually bexiin bl‘ writing out the story of the piece about twelve times, until he had c0! 1t right. l-lo then rend it to Slllll- van. who somtlmcs iniide sugars- lions which were duly incorporated in the flnal version.
