Thus, by high form product prices ondlgood crops the former had far more than compensated himself for higher operating casts and for his own in- creased cost of living. This is one side of the picture; but there is another which is thus presented in the Winni- peg Free Press: What mode the grcot war boom in which we are still living? Where did the higher wages for wcrksrs and the ligher income of formers come from? The easy answer is that they come out of o great increase in total pro- duction ond this, so for as it goes, is true. -But if we ask hcw this production was achieved and how it was disposed of we shall soon find that against the csscts on one side of the ledger there are balancnzg liabilities on the other. The war boom came mainly out of three fac- tors: huge government spending, financed by in- creased national debt and high taxes; govern- ment subsidies to producers; and an unlimited foreign market, created by the war. All the gov- ernment's spendings were financed somehow by the people. Part was financed by taxes ancl these taxes consumed a large port of the gain in wages, as every wage earner knows. Borrow- ings also must be rcpaid by the taxpayers. Their cost to the treasury is merely postponed. Inso- far as the boom was financed by government borrowings-and that was the chief factor in it —we have merely placed a mortgage on the no- tion's future production and we have lived on the immediate proceeds, as o man might mort- - gage a house ond spend the mortgage money on a spree. By subsidies the state hos held retail prices down but not without cost to the people as o whole. The taxpayers poy the subsidies. The cost of advancing prices is merely transferred from one group in the community to another. As to foreign exports which have absorbed the products of farm and fa:tcry', they have been given a-vcy or very largely financed by loans from the Canadian treasury to foreign nations. Gifts hove not increased the wealth of Canada; they have reduced it. The lI-CIHS also will reduce it unless we secure and accept ultimate repayment in goods. lt is thus clear that the nation is not hosic- ally so well nff as a casual study of the Bank's figures would suaaest. M"rc than most people realize we have been living on borrowed money. Musical’ Chairs Prime Minister King hos announced the second ond presumably final stage in the re- organization of his Cabinet. lt consists of the transfer of the Health portfolio from Mr. Ircoko Claxton to Mr. Paul Martin, leaving with the former the three branches of the Ministry _pf Defence. As the count now stands, therefore, Mr. St. Laurent has given a portfolio ‘to Mr. llsley, Mr. llsley to Mr. ADDO", ond Mr. Abbott to Mr. Martin. lf this is not intro- Ministerial reciprocity, it is ot least‘ a process of fair mlchange, which the old saying affirms is no robbery. In this little Cabinet game of pitch-ond-toss, Mr. King has played on import- ant tolo with his usual skill. While he has introduced no new blood into the Cabinet, he has mods the old blood race at high pressure during the past week. If tlio exorcise of swap- ping portfolios is good for the health of o inst, suggests on exchange, that of Mr. Kings should be blatantly robust by now.
