Mr. Shaw gave comparative fig- ures to show that over a genera- tion ago the farmers oi Prince Edward Island produced more or at least as much as now, and did not have to depend so much on commercial fertilisers and import- ed grains. He deplored the fact that there are going out of our province for fertilizer and feeds, millions oi collars which should remain at hmhe.

Walter Jones expressed his disappointment that the honors bestowed two years ago had not been in the first instance sub. mitted to the Government for suggestions or recommendations.

Business Outlook _ Following Strike Threat .____. By Forbes Rhude Canada breathed a sigh of rc- llef this week when the threatened railway strike was averted-and then started to wonder where ris- lng prices and wages are golm. Ponderers on the subject might ask: "What do we want?" A year ago s. men-sized wcession was predicted by this date, and that, at least, wasn't wanted. It wasn't wanted and it hasn't ccme. Instead there is u tinuiii high activity in nearly all phases cf ‘the country's life, and it is be- ing accompanied by higher prices and higher wages. The post-war. mentality is to "view with alarm" and there is considerable ground for doing this --even though there probably has never been so snuchi-viewing with alarm” in such prosperous condit- ions. 'i‘here are two grounds for this: One, fear of a. crash; and two, s feeling that rising prices and wag- es can't go on indefinitely without resulting in inflation which would destroy the value of money. A countering view is that the present situation is not inflation- ary 1n any extreme sense. but an adjustment to realities. The argu- ment is this: War put the country into super- activlty and complete employment whim must ordinarily havabrcught higher prices and wages. Controls, however. kept them relatively static. though by war's end they were straining at and breaking through the restrictions. Now most controls are gone, but virtual war- time activity continues, and soihe country is getting the price-wags adjustment now, instead of during a war. This view folows the theory that wilrtime activity set a new price- wage level and standard of living which must be consolidated into the economy; just as the new level established by the First World War was consolidated. . You couldn't, they state. have operated presentautomobile, radio and electrical sppllcance in- dustries on the basis of the amount of money received by the individual in 1914; that it would have been impracticable to give his relatively few dollars of that day such a high valuation that they would allow the purchase of things noiw in common use. We still don't know, they con- tlnue.- what price-wage and stsndsrd-ofliving level the Second World War did establish. and what we are going through is the pro- cess of finding out. ii. B.
