THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1941 Three Orators Last week, iii succession, Prime Minister King, W. L. Brockington, K.C., special assistant to the Prime Minister, and Bever- ley 13axter, Toronto born member of the Britishi buse of Commonts, hav e spoken directly to Canadians about the war. Alil were agreed tbat we are in a desperate struggle, the outeome of which is uncertain and that total effort is necessary if we are to win out. From that point onward, opinion merges into individual expressions and the force and power of ceh may be-assessed. The test is, whicli made the most telling and lastng impression on listeners. Mr. King, as usual, delivered one of lis carefuly prepared and most profound ut- terances, which as a general exposition and forecast, cannot be matched. Posterity iili acclaim ail of bis Wartime addresses. They have been masterpieces and already, pos- terity bas opportunity of studying them, day by day, for they are out in book form this early in the confliet. But neither the speeches nor the book carry the spontaniety that eletrifies the nation. There is none of the lash and the fire and the sting that can arouse people. There was disappointment that so little was heard of bis overseas ob- servations. To this listener, the feeling was one of exaltation at bearing great oratory but every phrase seenied weigbted with this sbadow.y determination: "But 1 amn unalter- ably opposed to conscription."ý Mr. Brockington, however, had sometbing of Churchill's fighting words. There was flot a line nor an underline of polities in ail of his mioving eloquence. H1e carried both conviction and bis listeners when lie said that we can 't win by employing others to figlit our batties, nor can we figbt a gorilla under Queensberry ruies. Nor can we stop tanks witb attitudes, platitudes, and beanti- turdes. In other words we should go "al out" and that means... every iast man to bis post. Mr. Baxter came to Toronto and, while saying that probably hie ought flot to say so. lie came ont boldly and said that Canada could not pull lier full weiglit at tbe side of Britain witbout conscription,1He lias tbe ad vantage of liaving spent bis early life in Torouto and knows Canadians. He is a war veteran. But weigbtier than ail this as opinion forming background, is the fact that lie bas, for years been in the inner irele of the men wbo ule Britain. His opinion about conscription coincides witb tbat of ail save the timorous, the cautions, or the politically warped, in Canada. He lad full rigbt to ex- press bis opinion. We shaîl corne to it. .. in Agriculture and War Prices paid for farm produce, generally, have advanced since Mardi 1941. Net profits to farmers, generally, bave not. Main rea- sons are that feeds, concentrates, replace- ment%, famm requirements, bave gone up ateadily in price and are stili moving up- ward; and within the year, wages bave doubled. Tbose who claimt that farmers now are making money have a simple metbod of finding ont. Alil that is necessary is to go mnto tbe conntry and talk to the average farmer, examine bis eturna and total Up bis purchases. Tien draft up another column; wliat lie needs in the way of e- pairs and replacements but bas not thie donc away witli. Now it; appears to be just 0o m.ucli taik; the big mercbandlisers wboI subaidize the powcrful press, are tooj weigbty for tinorous politicians.I Wll, anheypit of th w obsareains Wlifa ly, thepinthoftheseaoe rvainas? h» we did last week, that we musat get down S toliard-pan saving. Here is wbat is happen- ing. Urbanites are spending at the urge of "full-page" advemtisers. TIen when a sug- gestion is made tbat farm prices siould advance, ta meet advancing farm costs, (sncb as le on milk) a howl goes up thaf C ecan 'f afford it." Sa long as this goes on there cannot be flic "equality of sacri- fice " proclaimed by the Prime Minister. Tic time lias came ta endAbtis unbalance. The govemnment simply 'vili bave ta crack down on bath Iuxury and instalîment buy- ing and show people just why it is neces- sary. Next tbey must do same pcgging of prices of wliat farmers must buy in order ta keep Up their production. Farmers are certainly not the "spenders" ini wartime Canada. If theme is indictment in fliese lines. it sbould nat faîl upon the unthinking wha bave nat, as yet, been toudlied by war. In this second outspoken appeal by Tic Statesman, for national saving NOW, the fault lies as wc sec it with tbose who hesi- tate.. . the government. _V_ Coal Scarcity "Fi your coal bin now" is tic wamning of the coal administrator under the War- time Prices and Trade Board. Indication of a coal shortage and higier prices for fuel, gcncrally, wvas carmied in flic columins of Tic Statesman caly this spring. It was pointed out tien that Welsli and Scotch coal slip- ments w~ouId faîl off; that tic U.S.A. en- tertailing higli specd 'var production would not bc in position ta expont at the usual ate; tiat transportation facilities would bc tied in 'iti war production, and that 've sbould speed Up domestie output. Now tic governmcnt cames along witb its wamning at tic last moment. Because Tic Statesman long ago forecast tlic preseut difficulty in regard ta coal, it lias waited ta learn of gavemnmenf action in the hope tiat ticy lad flot provided for tic situation. Not only have they apparcntly donc notiing, but meantime bave pcrmittcd a labor slow- down at tic mines, and bave nat creatcd better facilities for getting western Canada coal into eastemn bins. Tic matter of boti supply and price bas become serions and as a duty ta readers, The Statesman carrnes this bclated govern- ment warning bclieving that ail of thec people are entitled ta tuis information even if tic expense is borne tbraugiaut' rural Canada by tic rural 'veeklies. Failure by the government ta anticipate and meet this fuel question is but one other instance of unawarcness whicb bas been chargcd a- gainst tiose at Ottawva on several formecr occasions, and witb cause. Tice'veekly press even unsubsidizcd can be rclied upanto do ifs full part in the war effort. _V Maximum Effort Gradualiy but surely Canadians are wak- ing np ta tic fact of 'var. It las been a slow proccss because of tic ineptitude of Minis- fers at the bead»of key departmenfs of gov- enment. Wide po'vems bad bicen confercd by parliament but lîttle use lad been mnade of tieni. There bas benýu. &Jtq4tia.ALi along to apply restrictions and lay down orders. Thaf is understandable in any gov.. cnmcnt 'viieli lopes ta succeed itself. Voters must nat bc antagonizcd. Reccntly, iowcvcr, came gasoline conservation and this bas donc more tian any other anc tiing ta bring a consciousncss tiat Canada is at ivar. Furticr powers bave been grantcd the Wartimc Pnices Board and there is na doubt wc shahl feel the wigit of its orders very 80011. , People on tic mailing list of tic Bureau af Public Information bave long sinee hmd mailed f0 ticm a little card upon 'vhidli was pinted tiese 'vards: "Tiere is only anc way ta meet total 'van, and that is by total effort - effort not for a day, or a week or a monti, but evemy day until victary is woan" (W. L. Mackenzie King). Witi tiat brci statement, cveryone wil be in agreement, but scarccly a saul in Canada can dlaim 've bave yet approacbcd "total effort. " - u ali prabability, before 'vinter sets in, we shahl have a vcry accurate account, from firsf band oboervers, just how Bitain bas accomplislied total effort. It bas Ijeen donc 'itiaut strikes, and Canada can wcll benef if by Britain 's exampie. One af Churchili 's key men, Harold Bal- four, bas lafcly been in Canada and bas said tuis about "total effort:" "To 'vin 've mnust pay thie price. We must be 'villing ta makc aur bodies tired, ta empfy aur pockets, ta give Up comforfs and matenial posessions ..for, by beaven, if 've sbould fail in this baur. . . then truly sbould 've face disaster. " "If yon ask men iaw I believe 've eau achieve our maximum effort in work, in national service, and in saving, I would reply: be discontented witi aur efforts of yesterday and faday, be aflgny af flic small- est sign of complaemey in any anc af us, ither as a 'vorker or a Minister of tic Orown; let us be rebellious againsf 'vaste and inefficiency. Only by being stirmcd and aroused canu've hope ta do 'viaf 'e must do to survive." That is a conception of maxi- mum effort 've ail sbould learn and practice. _V Good Alter Dinner Story Possibly anc of fie rnost popular nnd widely kno'vn nîter dinh* speakers aud sfomy fellers fie United States lias produccd 'vas Senatar Gbauncey Depc'v. His ready 'vif and gifts af oatomy brouglif him inf o great demand for big banquets, lectures, etc. On one occasion lic 'as paying a visit ta Ambassador Chant at flic United States Embassy in London. Tic Ambassador gave a big barrquet fom him, and 'vien introducing lis gucst, Ambassadom Choaf snid "Ail you have ta do is put do'vn a good dinner and up cornes anc of lis good speeches." In bis eply, Cliaunccy Depew said flieme 'vas just tuis difference bct'vcn flic Ambas- ador and himslf--"AhI you have to do is put do'vwncnaIoflis speeches nnd up corne a good dinner." "Tcmpt me!"
