JAMES, Editor. Rank and File Mate Strikes Disclosed in Many Interviews 'rhere is nothing wrong with legitimate, industrial trade unions. They have, all along, the line under responsible leaders, worked wonders for better working conditions, bet- ter living, standards, a better national uplift. Such unions, honestly led wil always be supported and defended by The Canadian Statesman. But when they depart from a sane course, we shahl be first to condemn them. Which is not an indictmnent of the rank and file but of leaders who have evi- dently forgotten that workers' sons and daugliters fought and died to conquer fase- ismn and usher in a new world and new freedom under a democracy that must not bé sabotaged. But we ail sec, since war closed, that these freedoms are now threat- ened by irresponsible. union leaders. When the entrenched leaders decree that we shall stop the flow of production, stop the movement of coal and food and ships and power; close factonies and throw meni ont of work while peoples starve abroad, then something must be said. Even the humblest of country newspapers must take note instantly of the course of public opin- ion. The rank and file of farmers and workers are deadly opposed to the idea of cutting off their own revenues and starving out men, women and children who for ycars were even more resolute in fighting the forces of cvil. They cannot condone the heartless leadership that forces this very condition. But it is here and it is spreading as daily headlines show. By way of a test case, the editor of The Statesman lately sought personaily ta find ont the reactian Qf factary workers in the Bowmanville commnunity ini regard ta the demand that they agree ta stnike, if necessary, at a tinie when thousands are stanving. Not a single wonkcr was found wishing ta walk ont ini spîte of the fact that many voted ta do so. They expiaincd that they were induccd ta view the matter as one showving, a solid front rathen than bcing told the eventualities. Thene van have it. We beieve this ta be the case ail across the country. The workers, inhenently are sound. Their leaders have shown they are not ini the broad wonld picture. A showdawn is not fan off if we thus gauge public senti- ment. Union leaders today, gunlning for privilege are simply biowing ont their brains. Co»t of Living Near Sky Iligh Inflation Recentdebates ini the Hanse of Cammons have brouglit ont facts which show that the cost of living in Canada taday is not dis- proportionate with casts following the last great war. Government supporters have been loudly insisting that unden Mackenzie King and his government the Canadian people have been pratected right down the line in what they have ta buy and the east of living index proves the case. But as is seen in Hansard, many of these bare cald figures are unrelated ta actual facts. Tlime and again dnring-the past year farm people ini this district have written and telephoned the editon of 'The Statesînan ta quote in- stances of where and how their costs have risen in almost everything they have ta buy. Not only have they ta pay more but the quality of goods bought is far inferior ta any offered duning, their lifetime. Ohallcnging the statistics set ont by gov- ernment buneaucrats on the cost of living, a member of panliament told his version .of the risc in living costs ini a stirring speech in the House, May lSth. Hie said that flour -was up 24 percent; sugar, 32 percent; potatoes, 50 percent; tea and coffee, 31 per- cent, and by the cup ini restaurants up 100 percent; hats, clothing, shoes are not only up greatly in pnice but are of such shoddy matel'ial as ta constitute another 100 percent or more in actual ont of pocket costs. Wc have heard the sanie thing, we have found the sanie thing, righit thraugh this whoic 'district. The speaker cancluded by sayîng that the people of Canada cannot mnch longer be fooled withail this talk of contrais defeating inflation. Rising in his place the Minister of Fin- ance said: "Be a little bit fair will yau."l And the speaker went on ta say: "I am bendinig aven backward to be fair." Which as almost ail people in this particular coun- tryside who have bonght things dnning the past ,year, will agree %vas ail appi'opriate answer. Getting dawn ta bcd rock wve ean- nat escape the fact that inflation is here Iright now in rising costs and shoddy mater- jais. And on top of ail this there is imposed an upswing in farmi costs and a wiping rout ,of subsidies that leaves farmi people gnessing as ta whene they ivill~ corne ont when the present crop is hanvested and livestoek 1.8 again stabled for the winter. It is a fine thing, farmiiig, sometimes. 1. + C.B.C. Monopolistie Policy To Cost Citizens Millions1 Ottawa Government Outbids CCF In Setting Up Socialism *Whle the Liberal News, officiai public- ation of the Liberal Party, is currently mun- niîîg iin its columns a series of arti cles con- demniiig socialism as preaclied by the CGF, the Liberal Governînent at Ojttawa lias introduced a resolution ta be followed by a bill, setting up a brand of socialism that puts the pretensions of the CCP fan inta the shade. Right at this moment, debate on the question is proceeding withthe CCF solidly supporting, the government. Strong opposition is beingr presented by the Pro- gressive Conservatives and the Social Credît group, with back-bench Liberals sitting mnute, as usual, even if many are opposed ta the measure. When ahl the dust subsides, the bill will be carnied as expected. ,The resolution xvas introduccd by Hon. C. D. llowe, Minister of Reconstruction, asking authority ta set up Crown Companies ta administer certain dcvelopments ini the nature of publiecocncern, such as atomic ne- search and its application and other disclos- cd and undisclased prajects. But ini his forccast and iin later debate it was bronght out that, under the scheme, there was no limit ta the number of corporations that could be set up, coxupletely outside of par- liament itself. The field is ivide open ta set np literally hnndrcds of such corporations. In other words, it is pure, rank socialisnî and can include the taking aven of, cvcry- thing in the nation. It was this blanket -deînand that the op- position chailenged. The leaders oppased toak the stand that every such corporation should be brought forward as an individual proposition ta be examincd and debated by panliament. But the Ministens rallîed in de- fence, all along the line, with al lich CCP~ speakers glcefully in their wake. While none argued that fanmns, aur grcatest natural resource, could be taken aven, the scope of the resolution is xide enaugh for even that. Thus we sec ounselves forced inta broad socialism by Mn. King 's govennmcnt, even as its officiai ongan, Liberal News, decnies the systcm, lock, stock and barnel. It may be a grand buildup for electian purpases, but meantîme public opinion will have time t<) exanmine ail its implications and the motives back of it. Confusion Unlimited Twa prominent C.C.F. members of Par- liament rccenthy dcmo,îstrated an the fonr of the Hanse of Commans just how danger- ous a littie knowhcdgc may be. The twa in- cidents might prove higrhly amusing if not for the fact the two members speak for a party dedicated ta the socialization of thc industry and finance of this country and the creation of a vast state manapoly oper- ated, of course, by the C.O.F. The first incident concerncd Duncan John McCnaig, C.C.F. member for Mapie Cneek, Sask., who fiabbcrgasted the Hanse of Eonmons by confnsing profits and assets. The second involved Mrs. Gladys Strum, C.C.P. member £or Qu'Appelle, Sask., wha evidently canld sec no difference between capital and assets. It is nat the purpase of this editorial ta try and clarify the confused thinking of the twa honorable members. They can do that for themselves by consulting dictionanies. Our pnrpasc is ta point ont the moral of a political party, composed of men and wom- en who demonstrate such clemental ignor- ance, seeking ta ownand operate practicalhy the entire business ife of Canada. Can yau imagine Duncan John McCuaig presenting a Federal budget and getting ail snarled up in a welter of confusion aven profits and assets and neyer being able ta tell whether he had a balanced budget or an unbahanced budget? Or Mrs. Strnm, as O.C.F. Minister af National Weifare, put- ting her obviously hazy knowhedge of basic business terms and practices ta the test of trying ta make the departmental books bal- ance ? That 's what wc mean. Ideaiists have their place in the scheme of things, but îîot in the seat of authority with power oven 12 million Canadians. That calîs for abund- ant cammon sense, practical experience - and no confusion. If the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation carnies out its present' plans, Toronto will have a new high-powered radio station - and the public pocket wvill be out several million dollars. Briefly, what the Oorpor- ation proposes ta do is take aver station CFRB 's wave-length (860 on your dial) and build a new 50,000-watt transmitter ta caver, Toronto and its outlying areas. The C.B.C. already has anc 50,000-watt station - CBL - in Toronto, which carrnes the programmes of the Trans-Canada net- work. It has another - OJBC, with a power of 5,000-watts - ta handle thc Dominion netwdrk. It w'ants ta use this station, plus a new transmitter, on QFIRB 's cieared chan- nel. OFR.B will be relegatcd ta some other place on the dial, where it won't interfere with the Corporation 's monopolistie plans. Just why the C.B.C. wants ta increase the power of its second Toronto outlet is hard ta say. WPBC certainly covers b6th Toronto and its suburbs very adequately, and even though the power is stepped up ten times, there wvill only bc a'relatively small increase in coverage. If CJBC were the only Domin- ion network station ini Central Ontanio there might be same excuse, but that isn't the case at al; there are many others ini the area. True, Northern Ontario isn't compiete- ly covcred, but that coverage could more easily be obtaincd by switching aonc of the several stations in, that area (which broad- cast the Trans-Canada Network pragrams) aven ta the Donminion Network. This siîould be considetably cheaper than the millions of dollars necded for a new high-powered station. Sometimes the C.B.C. seems ta be an cx- pensive luxury.

Mackenzie King passed the record of Rt. Hon. John A. Macdonald as Prime Minister of Canada. Mr. King enters his 2th year as finsi minister, a record unequahled in the Empire so far as national gov- ernments are concerned, since the days of Walpole in England who presided for more than 21 years f straight. But during his career, Mr. King has suffered defeat twice as Prime Minister, four times as a candi- date for the Mouse. First elected in 1906, he is dean of the House with 38 years of service. He be- came Minister of Labor in 1909 under Sir Wilfrid Lauriler and as- sumned his mantle as leader in 1919. Mr. King holds more earned un- iversity degrees than any leader, past or present, in the Empire ad Commonwealth. He is a master politician, a great administrator.
