Wmm UANiAIAN BTAT ES -M- - - IT SOUNDS REASONABLE As- this editorial is being written on the eve of the Durham County Federation cf Agriculture's annual Picnic at Oreno, we tbink it fitting te study the publication "'The Rural Co-operater' issued by the Ontario Federation, and pass along te subscrîbers our comments concerning it.' Its opening editerial concerning the margarine question is eue of the most iu- *teresting we have read, mainly because it treats the subject with a common sense approach. It suggests that ne matter wbat decision is handed down by the -Privy Ceuncil on the coustitutional rigbt of the Canadian goverument te ban the manqjacture and sale of margarine, dairy Men would Ie wise te carefully consider their next move. The editorial believes that it migbt be a mistake te continue the campaign te bave margarine banned be- cause there are some people wbo feel tbat an eutright ban, by depriving the public cf freedom of choice, is morally indefen- sible and from a public relations view- peint might lese the farmers more than tbey could ever hope ta gain. Editor Kingsley Brown writes that a demand for tariff prctection migbt find for farmers valtiable allies in the ranks cf censumers because Canadian labor is tra- ditionally opposed te auy unfair competi- tien from tbe imperted preducts cf cheap, -non-union laber. And be suggests that margarine definitely falîs jute tbat class of preduct and that it wculd be difficult indeed fer an.yone te defend margarine *against a vigorous demand fer a tariff or excise tax protection. Much of the mnar- garine content is imperted vegetable cil. This is commen sense argument aud uhould receive censiderable support from many classes of people, both urban and rural. Most citizens realize that the sale *of margarine 15 delng considerable damage ta a moat important industry in this country - damage whicb if sufficieutly extensive, Is bound ta affect the incQme and the purchasiug power cf large w.im- bers of people te the eventual detniment cf urban empleyees. If this attitude ceuld be'spread among farming aud nen-farming people, it sbould do much to persuade them that there sbeuld be dloser alliance and understaud- ing betweeu urban aud rural citizens. WIDE 0F THE MARK Continuing with the "Rural Co-oper-. ator," we were surprised ta read the third editorial, headed "'Thase Starving City Folks!" This was far from the logical theme expressed In the leading article and read as though Editor Brown was annayed ta the point where reasen had been set aside s0 that he could indulge in vicieus vituperation. What the previaus editorial- had tried te achieve in cementing relation- ships between urban and rural dweller, this one undid completely. Prabably, by now, he too is regretting 'his venerneus outburst. The editarial deals with a speech made in the House of Commens by Julian *Ferguson, Conservative M.P. far Simcee North, in which hie suggested that it was about time farmers quit erying and whin- ing every time prices teck a slump and instead taok constructive steps ta mer- chandise their products, especially apples, *se that customners would be more likely to buy them. He suggested that ne apart- ment dweller was able te store a hamper or a barrel of apples and that smaller containers should be used. Editor Brown went off the deep end, leaving the constructive sggestions en- tirely alane while he proceed(sgte give Mr. Fergusen a word-lashing. At the' same time he strikes at those city people who are deploring the high prices cf farmi pro- ducts while indu lging in purchases cf "«high - priced, walnut - veneered, nickel - plated junk" such as cars, houses, televis- ion sets, etc., on instalment. The finale really hits new heights of vitriol when he ,writes that speeches cf the Ferguson sort should prove te every intelligent Canadian farmer that he can't expect any help from politicians, that if he wants te win the rights te which he fi entitled he will get it only by organizing with his fellow farmers in a Fighting -Farmer Front! That piece is se far from correct as te be almost ridiculous. Re- *cords will show that agriculture and thxe -problems connected wlth that industry receive more attention In the Houseocf *Commons than almost any other branch of the economy. Records will alse show that a large majority cf the Members cf Parliament come from rural constituencies and are among the most Insistent in urg.. ing the government te, do everything ns sible to improve farming conditions. Edi- 1 or Brown surely Isn't forgetting that the Federal governnxent and the Ontario gov- ernment have large separate departmnents which devote their full tie te assisting farmers.

JAMES, ErnToa With eue stroke the bold decision iu Washington bas transformed a position of weakuess into a situation of strength. What appeared ta be a perplexing disacd- vautage for the free peopies bas been turned into a positive advantage. Wbat leoked at first like a shrewd Soviet thrust stands revealed as a blunderiug miscal- culation. This i5 true despite the immediate bad news from the militàry front iu Korea. For vividly good reports from the morale front around the werld more truly reflect the underlyiug positien. Now dis- bearteued, disunited peoples have been galvanized inta ce-aperatien te resist ag- gressive evil. Moreever, there is goed hope tbat a general war will net result. The United States will use whatever force is required te clear the invaders eut of South Korea. But the iKremlin bas cagily avoided any commitment ta support the invasion witht Russian forces. In fact it bas played dowu the wboie Korean business. It bas flot been firiug the Russian mood te a war pitch. American policy had been fumbling for new foothalds in the Far East. Am- bassador Jessup's recent survey bad point- ed up weak spots - as in Indo-China and the Philippines - aud suggested shifts. The Dulles-MacArtbur..Bradley..Johnson confereuces had prepared for specific steps - as iu Formosa and Japan - te strengtheu the military hunes. But only imminent and visible peril could have clarified aud censelidated American pur- poses as Korea bas now doue. Presideut Truman and bis advisers have made the rnost of an opportupity that wore the clothes of potential disaster. American action te support South Korea is coupled with a revamped and streugth- eued American pelicy lu Formosa, the Philippines, and Indo-China. Especially in regard te Formosa, the new policy more strongly asserts the T.3ited States' interest and an intention te enforce pacification bath ou the Chinese Reds aud ou the Nationalists. The respouse of American opinion bas been remnarkably quick aud unified. Near- ly everybody bas put f irst things first, re- cegnizîug tbat the door must be bolted against aggressieu bef are bousecleaning can be undertaken. The immediate nec- essity is te throw Moscow's minions back and re-establish the tacity accepted power berders ou which anunueasy truce bas rested since 1945. But ne eue should suppose that a merely military solution wili suffice. Once the door is bolted the bousecleaniug shouid be vigoreusly push- ed. 1 Meanwhile It should soon become apparent that despotic evil has once more blundered. The Japanese war-lords uni- fied American opinion and insured immed- iate active belligerence by the 'United States when they attacked Pearl Harbor. Hitler not only pulled Russia into the war against himn but needlessly affronted the Ukrainians and threw them back into Stalin's arrns. Moscow by its open ag- gression in Korea has simplified the situa- tion as ail Secretary Acheson's preach- ments had failed te do. By uniting and blardening American opinion it has fdrged a mighty weapon against its own designs for spreading slavery. i What Others Say CANADA'S FAMILY (Toronto Daily Star) a teature not recog income tax act.

MAN WITH MANY FRIENDS PASSES While most cf the citizens cf this area were celebrating the Dominion Day holi- day and enjoying themselves in varieus phases of recreation, tragedy struck at eue of our oidest families, resulting iu the death of veterau expressman Charlie Bagneli.

OUT 0F WEAKNESS, STRENGTH (Christian Science Menitor) "CANADA - LAND 0F HOPE"P Canada offers an opportunity te its cieizens second te ne ether country in the world, according to a booklet published today by The Canadian Chamber of Com- merce. The booklet, entitled "Cauada,-Land af Hope,"ý reviews the history cf the coun- try in general terms and predicts that Canada's best days are stiil before ber. "Canada has not become great by chance," the publication comments, "but rather be- cause there bas been here created and nurtured an atmosphere in whicb the will and energy of peoples from many lands have been aliowed full expression within the limîts of the public welfare." The bookiet points ta the new iron discoveries in Quebec and Labrador, te oil in Alberta, te Canadian achievements in the field of atomic research and to the initiative and industry of Canadian youth as evidence for an optimistic view of the Canadian future. In announcing the publication of "Canada, - Land of Hope," R. A. Bryce, President of The Chamber of Commerce ber cf friendships which have been smash- ed because eue of the friends bas seen fit te greet bis sun-burned chum witl1 a resouuding slap on the back. But, there is hope, says the magazine, and we could add our owri comment that the anly hope we see of doing away with suuburn is ta have the weather stay as cold as it bas been lately. Health says tbat sunburn may be prevented by takiug it iu small dees until oue's skin bas de- veleped its pretective coat of tan.
