I I I I Canada has again been flattered by American imifitiou. President Roosevelt recommended to Congress the enactment of National Selective Service measures. and both the aims and means sought. closely resemble those in operation in Canada for two years. Not that o11r5 has been a howling success but at least the idca was worth appropriating by a good neighbor. And there have been other instances of imitation. Onc of the first tributes to Canadian foresight and war planning was adoption at Washington of the rcntal control scheme. Later came 1l1c copy-lug of our policy of subsidies as an iuslrn mcnt of price control. i I Q Government revenue in two Australian States benefits from State-conducted lotteries. Queens- land has its Golden Casket Art Union, and pro- fits during 1942-43 were £369,000. Ticket sales realized £1,514,000, and prize money distributed totalled £967,000. The Government received £75,000 in tax and stamp duty. Since 1920 nearly £6,000,000 has been spent on hospitals and motherhood and child welfare services, and other sums from special lotteries have gone to patriotic funds. New South Wales has lot- teries, mo. 111 1942-43 there were 95, 11 record, and State funds received £894,000. I i I I Dairy- products are likely to be insufficient for the civilian population this year, says Cana- dian Grocer. Ottawa already is figuring on a ieductiou in butter production and cheese has been scarce for months and will continue to b1‘ this year tmless the war should end or something unforeseen happen. Production of milk on the wholc, how-ever, is likely to be maintained but more of it will be consumed in the fresh state. Reports continue that we may have some im- ports of grapefruit juice this year and this is one of the brighter pictures. \\'e should also have sufficient stocks of canned and dehydrated soups, baby foods, macaroni, and as the trade knows the WPTB recently permitted cauncrs to pack pork and beans. spaghetti, sauerkraut, mush rooms, ctc., i11 tin cans so that 111orc of these (but 11ot sufficient) will be available. Large quantities of peanuts are expected 10 come into Cairada in February or March for peanut b11t- tcr.
