SAMES, Editer The Stateaman Editor Welcomes A New Business Partner A concurrent announcement in this issue of The Statestnan makes known to subscribers an- other rallestone la the history of the paper. XI now becomes the pleasure of the ediior to wel- come into parinershlp his nephew, John M. James. There is equal pnide in thus continuing a family tradition which began '73 years ago when the editor's father, M. A. James, bougit, The gtaiesman whlch was established 93 years ago. The present paninership marks only the third change within the family circle In ail thai time as wiil be seen from the announcement. It is naw 40 years since the editor entered the service of the paper and 25 years since he assumed its ediiorial direction. So it is with some relief that a younger representative af the family takes aver a share of the responslbility in maintaining its reputation as a public trust. The Pace set by John since his return from the war has resulted in expansion and improvements thai can be summed up in two words: "Pro- duction and Progress." In ail departments The Statesman is now better fitted te render service to uts readers and advertisers. Those who know John.ny James will agree that h. is a go-getter with up-to-the-minute ldéas and the ability to carry them out. Sa together we view the future of The Statesman as entering a new phase of community service ln which commercial printing will be an im- portant part. Personally we hope te have more leieure under the new arrangement. This Is mnade a more pleasurable -prospect since the edior's son, Bll, on his returu from a brilliant war record averseas, has assumed the position of advertising manager. Sa under the new mast- head o! Geo. W. and John M. James we invite the continued support oi the public who have for so many years been the real inspiration af Its success. Chamber of CQmmerce Warns Agahnait Price Increaëses In a recent editarial The Statesman took a stand against a splurge of inordinate price advances following the lifting of coatrols an seyeral lunes ai consumer goods. We suggested that indlustrialists and merchants who foilowed a course oi that kind were simply inviting the ultimate destructiail ai the principle they pro- fessed ta uphold, that af free enterprise. This view we find expressed since in many public- atibns and among the more responsible business leaders. With a steady rise ia volume we b.- lieve it a short sighted policy ta attempt ta cap- ture short term profits. A timely warning in this regard has jusi been issued by the Canadian Chamber ai Com- merce.' It suggests ihat this interim period be- tween short and long supply la no time ta grab for temporary profits at the expense ai the con- sumer. Members of Chamber af Commerce units are asked ta conform ta this reasoned appraach ta a current problem gIl can be said that mosi members acceptb this view, partlcularly retail merchants close ta th. people. This kiad of leadership is the anly sensible stand ta take ln this peniod ai readjustment. We are pleased ta receive the annaunce- Election day has been set for May 5th. It can scarcely be expected that the nomination meet- ing will attraci as -many citizeas as the annual meeting yet the principle Invalved is the same, thal la ta attract business talent and a sense o! public responsibility ta the' coune-i board. Ia aur opinion here la apportunity for smre o! the younger businessmen ta fi the position. As we have said befare the time lias arrived for younger men ta accept the reaponsibilities of local government which they wiUl have ta assume soaner or later. During the next eight months the new councillor could gain valuable experience in association with those now ln council who have had a good many years of experlence.

Country Correspondent Makes Editorial Coiumn Prom lime ta time tis paper endeavora to make smre comment la lie nature of appree- lation for the splendid contribution of ts coun- try carrespandents.
