H. Harmam in his annual address as president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. Addressing the ninth annual meeting of the organization in pro- gress in Regina, Mr. Hannam dealt with both national and international aspects of the sub- ject, and his statements are well worth heading. Tarnlers in Canada are riot seeking increas- ed prices for farm products, so much as the establishment of a proper balance between their lueome and flea: of other groups. That proper balance has not existed in the past. Yet it is fundamental tn lllfi‘ cstzilvlishmcnt of security and stability in agriculture, which in turn is vital to the welfare of the whole nation. Such a balance or stability, ‘.\Ir. Hannam iii- eists, cannot ever be attained by a reversion to t-he old pie-war planlessncss under which agri- culture dragged along at the bottom of the economic scale, with privileged groups main- taining a high economic level. Nor is it by any means the best programme to subsidize agri- culture to lift its economy to the higher level. The souinlcst tiiethotl would he to use the agri- cultural economic lcvcl as the basis and t0 l0\v- er other groups which are out of line. It is interesting to note how closely this view coincides with the statements of Hon. John l-lracken, Progressive Conservative leader. in his speech at Lcthbridge. Alberta, in October 1943. As a. first and foremost objective for agriculture Mr. Bracken named “equality in the Canadian economy." IIis proposed steps to- ward recovcrv for agriculture were meant to be "a rational zipproach toward placing those en- gaged in that industry in a [rosition of equity with other Canadians who make comparable contribution to our Canadian welfare." As one means of preventing wide fluctua- tions of farm prices Mr. Bracken advocated a floor prices measure, which was subsequently adopted by the Dominion Government and which Mr. Irlannam in his address yesterday commended as a piece of pioneering legislation of great importance. In Mr. Hanrianfs words, "to have a reniunerative contract price or guar- anteed minimum price one or two years in ad- vance transforms farming from little more than a gamble to a business with some foundation and future." Reviewing the present position of agricul- ture in Canada, the Federation president de- clared that the past year, by alld lllfgfi. l" Spite of handicaps and restrictions, hatl been a fair- lywsatisfactory one. With less than 65 percent of their pre-war labor, farmers had achieved a record in food production for the nation. But there ivere exaggerated notions concerning the economic position of the farming industry as a result of so-called ivartime prosperity. Lsmc figures compiled by the Dominion Bureau of statistics, wit], unoffiCial estimates for 19TH- he pointed out that while the total national in- conie of Canada during the five war years, I940- 44, had iticrcascd 0S per cent from the average {or thc 1926-21) period, the value of farm Pm‘ duction had risen only l3 l-2 P01‘ Cclll- The“! is the fear ex Party.

One of the most poignant voices raised for the children's sake is that 0f the \Vtlsh poet, Iiilunctl Lewis. Few modern poets have felt more deeply than shc the beauty and fra- gility of childhood, or have reacted more poig- nantly to the harshness of the time. Her feeling for the children lost ‘in this black night of sleet and frost‘ appears in l‘l(‘f' Song of the Refugee Children: In this black night of sleet and frost, If any be who still are kind, Help us, we pray you now, to find The thing which we have lost . . .

The Gwcrri- ment has offered a guaranteed market over the next four years for all fat pigs and eggs, but the Minister of Agriculture, in announcing the price plan, foreshadowed a gradual change t0- wards more livestock and less potatoes as the progress of the war reduces the need to grow so much food at home.

Delinquents are tine ills of socle.y and a cure should first be applied to remedy the cause of the 111. 1t vrould sound stupid for n doctor to recommend a casket for a sick patient. It sounds much more stupid to recommend a delinquency home to cure our delinquency prob- lem before any other remedy has been applied. There arc many causes of juve- nlle delinquency. One o! them ls the fact that, the children of this City lack healthy, wholesome rec- reation and tire forced their time on the streets or m back yards. Very often these con- gregations lead to something not very good and the result is delinq- uency and its problems. You cun- not blame the home for this. The parents cannot be expected to lock their children up in some room c-f their homes. After children spend most. of their day in school, they are entitled to get out. for some exercise and recreation. Parents would be monsters 1f they dld not allow their children this right. Ev- ery normal child has a rlglit, to play and get recreation to work off the surplus energy o1 youth. It 1's sad to relate that the only recre- atlon which many can find in this City 1a to roam the streets 1n pur- suit of play. They do this until some of them finally roam lnto the Juvenile Court. Let us look at the situation as 1t stands wday. This 1s the time of year when boys and girls like to skate. coast. and play hockey. None of these three sports la pos- slble for them tn t/hla City because the faculties for such recreation cto no: exist. It our boys and slrls want. to skate, their parents have to pug out the money to let them go to the Forum. Most parents cannot afford to do this. In a home where there are three or more children of ‘teen age, the ex- pense is quite high if the children nre to be allowed to skate more than once a week. The parents feel they are dolng tihetr share when they equip their children with warm clothing. skates, and boots. The situation ls such in some homes that many boys and girls never get a chance to take Dart 1n this winter spo . The result Ls that they resort to the demoraliz- ing gglnl copper! on the streets tn order to get to a skate.

Then there would be an opportunity for our people to get together and have some wholesome healthy recreation and thus advance alongr the road to good citizenship. hen we would have few gangs roaming the streets ln search of excitement. The surplus energy of youth would be expended ln pleasant surround- ings, and parents would not have to wonry about their boys and girls getting into harm around the streets flooding the different uares of the 01y t0 provide skat ng facil- ltles for the younger people.
