FEBRUARY 22. i541: Want Free Choice The Britsh Labor Lir-icriiiiient is finding that iiiiplcuiezitiiig socialist}. legislation is not easy. A strru‘ has reportedly gathered over Health hlinislcr Bevaifs national health plan to give the best medical uttciition to everyone free of charge. Although details of the plan are still secret, sniping ll‘. it fmiii both sides has started. There are signs, says a news despatch, that the_ doctors are con-olidating their ranks and getting ready Io attack at several points, particularly any scheme for "directing" them to work in dis- tricts not of rlieir own choosing. They claim the freedom of .'iiiyoiie else in the community to earn their living wherever they like. All parties iii Britain are more or less com- mitted to a iisifiviiiil health service. The dispute seems to be ovrr the means of achieving this rc- sult. Under the plan introduced bv the Churchill Government on Feb. i7, i944, general practition- ers would uorlr from their own surgeries as at present, septiratc or in grcrips. or from special- ly provided and equipped health centres. Stand- lrds of remuneration for doctors and special- ists were Io be decided afte: discussion with the medical profession. All necessary drugs and medicine, and all except the more expensive ap- pliances, ivniild be provided free of cost to all in need of them. Hospital services, “complete and improved for every area." were also to be provided free. Apparently it is not to these features that ihe doctors are obiocting, but to the bureaucratic control involved in putting them into effect. That seems to bc the Achilles’ heel of social- ism. In sacrificing initiative and freedom of choice for even the most worthy purposes, social reformers are not unlike the farmer in the fable who killed the hen that laid the golden ext. Encouraging Exports M11 J- A. MavKiimon. the Canadian Miri- letcr of Trade and Commerce, when in London, ll>°ke on the trade policy of the Dominion at a luncheon of the Canadian Chamber of Com. niercc. The chairman, Mr. \V. A. McAdam, described .16 “most satisfactory" the announcc. inent that Canada had removed the price ceiling for imports from the United Kingdom, Ex- plaining the import policies ,that Canada will follow, Mr. MacKinuon said that only too often in the pest countries had thrown the emphasis on increasing export trade while paying only scant attention to the corresponding obligation to increase imports. That, in his judgment, was A contradiction of world trade. They believed in Canada that trade could flourish only if con- ducted on a iwc-way basis, and they were doing what they could to realize that ideal in practice. For the first time in their history the Depart- ment of Trade and commerce had set up an Im- port Division cl-argcil ivitti promoting imports into Canada, with ti vicw t0 establishing a healthy balance bclwccu their export and ini- port policies. The other day. at Liverpool, lie hoard one of the leaders of the grain trade pruisc Criiiadafs ilt-cisinu In scll wheat zit $1.55 n bushel iiislcwl of trying to gut n much high- cr pricc zinc capitalizing on the world's pres- ent shortage ll] food. lt was verv gratifying to Canada and :1 burpy omen for the future to know that its Mitt policy was supported so strong- ly in the Uiiitid Kingdom.

One outgrowth alone, the daily newspaper, has been primarlv resfilonsiblc for the spread of popular education. ‘ U O i Rev. D. MacDonald, Church of Scotland minister who laboured so successfully through the province, died this date i807; his followers declined to enter the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and remained in separation iii conjunc- tion with a similar remnant oi tlic Church of Scotland in Cambridge, Mass: now associated with the Free Churcli- of Scotland, known as “The We: FIECS.” s s e e a Rev. C. Ritchie Bell, Moderator of Mont- real Presbytery, after his return to Montreal from a tour of the Maritime Provinces, said that the ivave of juvenile delinquency is clue to parents “who are not attending to their busi- ness" in bringing up their children in the pro- per way. “Banging away at the adult mind in an effort to change political, industrial and so- cial wrongs is a waste of time and money." He quoted johu P. Mulrooncy. ex-commissioner of police for New York City, who said, “There are two things that can prevent crime, home influ- once and religious education.” The minister added that when parents, teachers and. the church neglect their children, "they are losing a golden opportunity ‘to ‘attack social wrongs." It is sincerely to be hoped Bishop Boyle's timely and exceptionally valuable practical ad- dress at the Dairymen's Association will, be made to bear fruit by the farmers themselves. They are the people haviifg the power and auth- ority, end, as His Excellency emphasized, they can exercise it by co-opcration—co-operati0n never fails, only co-opciators not infrequently do. The farmers have now a Federation which they can wield to their advantage, and surely they can find no better opportunity of doing so than in the interests of rural electrification, on which the material as well as the spiritual (body and soul) future of the people of the province, the Bishop points But; diperlds. Construction workers in conference at Ot- tawa decided that "inefficient workmen" was I big cause behind the high cost of construction, suggested that apprenticeship training was ab- solutely necessary and that there should be at least i5 youths trained in this province each year for the next five years. That is all very well, but who is going to see that it is done? The Maritime Electric Co. have offered the Government to hold technical classes for 2o vet- erans, but neither of the departments concern- ed have so fer lifted a little finger to provide the necessary number. The classes have been twice postponed for lack of the necessary pupils, and now a third attempt is being made. People are becoming fed up with the "inefficiency" not of the youths, but of the powers-that-be at present neglecting our interests. _ a a w- a Canada's four great sources nf wealth are farms, forests. minerals, water- powcr. Piilp and paper production is Can- ada's means of developing two of these. Pulp and paper mills use water-power to convert tht forest crop into dollars of national income, chiefly obtained from CXPOIIS and chiefly paid out in wages. In pulp and paper, Canada has one of the world's great industrial enterprises. Canadian ncivsprint capacity is over 4 1-4 mil- lion Ions a yr-iir. or four times greater than any other country. In production of wood pulp Canada is second only to United States. Pulp and paper production is a mainstay of Canadian economy. Of the country's manufacturing ln- dustrics. pulp and paper stands first in employ- ment, first in payment of wages, first in ex- port values, first in capital invested In world trade, pulp and paper are Canada's main com- modifies except gold: greater than wheat. far greater than nickel. Newsprint alone, over a considerable period, has brought Canada more export dollars than wheat. nickel or any other single commodity except gold. s s n a Canada my have a permanent military mission in Lcnrlon to maintain close the War Office and with Empire military dc- "lwments.

AI. the old sI -ounce coupon value It took lbOll 22,000,000 pounds of butter monthly to meet all requlre- ments, 80 per cent to honour cou- pons and the remainder for cem- merclsl uses. Stocks on February 1 were only about 23,000,000 pounds compared to a normal 34.000000 ounds st that date. Production n January was about 9,000,000 pounds, ll per cent lower than the some month a year ego.

If books could only be read by a very few, how was the knowledge whIcIi had been gamed by genera- tIons of hard. an often bItter, ex- perleiice to be passed on? The answer of course, was by word of mouth, often I.n the form of what we should today ilescrlbe as ‘wlsecracks’ (short, snappy sen- tences that are easy to remem- ber),~sometlmes In the form of little rhtymes, and sometlmes In the form o metaphors, that In the course of time have come to he proverbs. Whatever form they take, wheth- er adages, saws, or proverbs, these sayings are of absorbing Interest. To nobody are they of greater In- terest than the former, for most of them refer to forming in some form or other, because It was the occupstlon of nlnety per cent of our ancestors; and even If they do not directly ‘refer to firming, the metaphors used have mostlyte dIstInctly agricultural flavour. There Is a wealth of knowledge stored up In these old sayings and they repay csreful study. In these days no agricultural sclentlst will llglitly disregard a trsdltlon stronnly held by. sny large body of farmers.

Yet In medlsesul tlmes It must have-been a perfect scourge, though It was the do- mestic Igeon coming from the land's dove-house end not the wild pl eon which was the chief cul- p t. so, on ell the evldence, I should guess that this old adage was not so very I‘ll"0llf after e I. Now Ieks mother adage that Is ‘fsmlllsr to most of you: To break s pasture niskes e mun. To make a posture breaks a mun. It Is hardly en exaggeration to say that the flrst Ilne of this adage has formed the bllll of the Brltllh vernment’: wsi-tline agrl- cultural pollc . The fertlllty stor- ed u In Wei-managed grass land has eon utilised to good purpose during these last few years, and under the plough such fields have yielded splendid crops of wheat, outs, and potatoes, all of whIch have been of the greatest value at a crltlc tlme The knowledge that old grass Isrid Is a rlch storehouse of plant food, which can best be turned to account by pIoughInB. is by no means news. That It was nor put Into practlce to any degree In pre- war years was due In part to the general unprofltnbleness of arable farming and In part to belief In the second halfcf the adage-To make a pasture breaks a man'—-a belief whIch today Is wtthout jus- tlficatlon. There Is no doubt, however that up to fifty years ago the mak- Ing of a permanent nature was a dark and dlfflcult g venturp and one not to be undertaken lightly. At best It was u slow and expen- iilve buslness and even In the most favoured dlstrlcts the results were uncertiiln. Not so today however; and the difference Is not so much due to our Increased skill and knowledge as to the fact that now we have at our disposal certain thlngs whlcli were denied to our ances- tors-thlngs whlch make the whole dllflference between success and ure. In the absence of s proper sup- ply of grass seed of wild whlte clover seed, and of phosphates, \n'ho would undertake the puttlng down of u fleld to permanent grass wlth any degree of confidence? Yet this Iii whst our greet-grandfathers had to do; smallwonder Is It that they regarded It with dismay, and that their justifiable fears and Ircpl- datlons should‘have outlived them. 8 I Another old spying the truth of which has been amply demonstrat- ed during the war goes: Copper under heath/er, sllver under gorse, Gold under bf-acken. The experience of many war agricultural committees durlng the past five years beers out the truth of thls adage to the letter. r- Irig tlils period much heath land has been ploughed and cropped, and where the heath was covered with a strong growth of bracken. after being well ploughed and well lImed, the resulting crops have generally been surprisingly good. Where, however, the heath was of the heathery type the results have generally been Indlfferent, so much so that most agrlculturnl commit- tees have long since Izlven up any attempt to brlng such land Into cultlvatlori, The gorse-covered heath seems to be Intermedlute be- tween the two. It Is certainly much more hopeful than heather, but such land ls, of course, for more laborious to clear, and whe1 It Is cleared the results are not as u rule so good s: with bracken land. Thor, are quite a lot of old saylngs that refer to horses, as you would expect. Home have reached the stature of proverbs, For example: ‘A good horse Is never a bad colour’; but, In splte of this, the fact remslns that some colours are po ular and some are not. There s an old rhyme whIch runs: One wIiIIe leg-buy a horse, ‘hvo whlte legs-t s horse, Three whIte legs- ook well s- sbout hlm, Four whIte legs-do without him, Is this just prejudice, or Is It really true that s hone with four whlte legs Is to be avoided?

Finally, mere are one or two sayings about the English weath- er: ‘ uzht never bred iIesi-fh In England,’ end, ‘A summer never made s deer peck ' or ‘A _ summer never begs Its reed.’ R's- tury bears out the truth of these statements, In so fer ail all the really disastrous seasons recorded In thIs country have been disas- trous by reason of excesslve wet and never by reason of drought. - A wet year Is always e bud corn year, and though In such a ses- son there may be an abundance of grass, the stock fell to thrive. f course, we In thls country lust o not know the meaning of the word drought as It I: understood In some parts of the world-In Aus- tralia for example. ‘There are, how- ever, ares: In England-urns main.
