The Premier does not favor the removal of the pro- fit. m'otive trom business. nor the abolition of the cap- italistic system. but he does propose to control it and purge it of its wrongful practices. All I can tell you", he says, "is that we will go just as far as is necessary to reform the system and make it effectively work a- gain. I cannot bring myself to agree that there is any- thing radically wrong with the system which adjust- ment and reform will not remedy." He places himself firmly "behind the Mass Buying Commission and pro- mises that legislation will be inl.roduced in accordance with `its findings. 5- . - --Non Numnlos. llll' .*.HuHI Sllllll` HI Iu'I nnur the |)l'(fIl'll1 . lrnol. mmtht-r Lzruup I (Tmmrlmn, Louis: Jo Hnllv hrnkt: uwnv wnrtl in Hm rim ' irl !..

These include minimum wage and maximum working week, abolition of child labor. unemployment insurance, new old-nge pensions scheme. health, accident and sickness insurance, fur- ther taxation of non-producers. regulation of pro- fits in business. controlled capitalization of companies. and. to a certain extent, government control of busi- nous: EDITORIAL NOTES gltablished 18 .._.._ .:_-._;,_1 ., -- or two strenuous years in the may- slirod from municipal life.

Investigations at Ottawa have shown the need6T minimum wage legislation, but in proposing to make federal minimum wage laws and to fix max- imum working hours. the Premier runs counter to those provinces which have no such measures and may also be infringing upon provincial rights. High-_ er pay and shorter hours necessarily mean higher costs to the consumer. Such legislation would affect the farmers adversely both as to labor supply and through the increased cost of living. though the greater purchasing power of labor should improve the market for their products to some extent. cw . year. For the first eleven months of last year, -109,129,000 pounds of Canadian bacon were shipped to the British market, with a value of $17,310,000. This approaches the record of the fiscal year 1926 when Canada ship- ped 123,292,600 pounds to Great Britain. In 1930 our bacon trade with the Old Country had fallen to 26,- 702,600 pounds. The big increase is one of the results of the Empire agreements. A large part of the output of the First Co-operative Packers goes to the United Kingdom and the high quality of. its shipments has done much to increase the popularity of Canadian bacon "over home". Discussing the question. Is Oratory Dead". the Tim- mlns Advance blames much of the decadence of ora- tory on the radio, and this because the speakers let their minds rest too much on the unseen audience rather than talking as though heard by only the peo- ple before them. Radio speeches may be informative, but they seldom stir to enthusiasm by their eloquence. In expressing his thanks to the electors of Innisfil. Reeve Henry invites suggestions from the 'ratepayers during the year. This is the right idea. All the brains of a municipality are not held by the council. Nor can a council be expected always to see every angle of a problem. Every citizen should be sufficiently inter- ested in the welfare of his community to give thought to its business and if he has a constructive idea let him pass it along to the council. It may not be found practicable. still it will be encouraging for members of the council to feel that. the citizens, instead of crit- icizing. are really trying to be helpful. In connection with the administration of unemploy- ment relief. discussed editorially in last week's Ex- aminer. it has been suggested that this work be en- trusted to a committee of citizens outside the Town Council. If the necessary number of public-spirited ratepayers can be secured to form a strong organiza- tion such as the Central Relief Committee which had charge during the first year of organized relief here. no better arrangement could be made. As the relief is now financed through the Town Council it would be advisable to have a member of that body on this com- mittee. No member of the 1935 Council is better ac- quainted with the operations of the Central Commit- tee on Relief than Aid. Harry Buchanan. It is suggested by the Amherstburg Echo that citl-I zens should try to keep themselves informed as to how their elected representatives are discharging their duties. One way to do this is to read carefully the re- ports of council proceedings. This is possible as far as the Barrie town council and board of education are concerned. the proceedings of their meetings being fully reported in The Examiner. Unfortunately re- ports available for township councils are confined to bare details and do not give any information as to how conclusions are reached. Meetings of school boards and municipal councils are open to the rate- payers and people who desire first-hand knowledge of how the business is conducted may do so by attend- ing the meetings. THOSE FAKE HOTELS Financial l`ost-Bringing back beer by the glass in beverage rooms may have been a mistake. We are not here discussing whether or not a modification of the previous prohibition legislation was called for. But the method of bringing back beer is an important question in itself. The sale of beer by the bottle to be consumed in the homes might have been better than setting up islands of drinking on prominent corn- ers. And the hypocrisy of restricting licenses to so- called hotels is apparent. 'I`o qualify as a hotel" it is only necessary to add a few bedrooms to the upper floor of a store. As a large number of these "hotels" have no desire to become inns in the old sense there is a grave danger that what has been accomplished is to cover the province with a large number of po- tential brothels. A more honest and safer system-it` beer by the glass was desirable-would have been to give the licenses to restaurants and genuine hotels in- stead of creating fake hotels for the purpose.

V. Kelly to the Amherstburg Rotary Club. has given those who heard it and those who read it much food for thought. His remarks show a Clear insight into the difficulties that face human beings in all walks of life. and in particular the farmer. The statement. Do we town and city residents know that almost everything we have eaten in the past four five years has been stolen?" seemed broad and harsh. but the situation as pictured and proven by 3 Father Kelly shows that there is every foundation for n the statement. it is a challenge to urban dwellers to give a thought to the men-yes. and the women--who produce the necessities of life. The farmer and his wife do not throw down the hoe nor the broomstick when the whistle blows. Although living conditions on the average farm have been vastly improved in recent years. yet they lack many comforts which are considered necessities in town and city homes. Urban dwellers gloat when the. prices of foodstuffs drop to insignificant figures. but they fail to realize that when the farmers are prosperous they create a circle of prosperity that embraces all classes. The remedy? It is visionary. but it is through visions that great things are first realized and then brought to a successful cul- mination by the co-operation of all the citizens of the cotintry.

Such mensures as national insurance against. unem- ployment. sickness and accident and old age pensions. while they are desirable, would require many millions annually. As yet. the Premier has not given dtiy estim- ate of the cost nor indicated where the money is to come from. other than through increased taxation up- on unearned incomes. There would be a limit to this. otherwise the source of the funds for government loans would to a large extent. be dried up and indus- try would suffer for lack of capital.

January 8-The radio ad- dress made by Premier Bennett the middle of last week is regarded by observers of all parties to be the most significant he has delivered since 1930. It commits the Conserv- ative party in Canada to a new pol- icy, namely. government interven- tion into business. Government con- trol of business. in some cases. If hints of an offer to form a union government: it definitely announced Premier Bennett's decision to retire from politics should he be defeated in the next election: it suggests an early election. Considering that all this was crowded into 80 minutes it will be realized what a meaty affair if um: . WES The subsequent addresses in which the details of the new policy are be- ing set forth, are being followed with avidity. Premier Bennett cer- tainly put on the right kind of a curtain-raiser. He whetted the ap- petite of all Canada for more. Not that all his listeners will be sympa- thetic by any means. but they all want to know what he will say next. The issue in the Open The "higher ups" in the Liberal party seem to be considerably re- lieved to have the issue in the forth- coming election set forth so clearly by Mr. Bennett. The prime minister sought to brand his opponents as be- lievers in pure laisscz-faire. as against his own party, which was to nail the flag of reform to the mast and `go in- for government control. But one may be sure that Mackenzie King will not let the issue take this particular slant if he can possibly help it. Oi` course, as Mackenzie King said in the House last winter. _the Liberal party is not an advocate of unmodified laissez-falre. The Lib- erals have in this country and across the sea sponsored social legislation. placed restrain-ts-on industry. ~ They conceived it to be the duty of the government to put stop lights on the streets, as an American leader phras- ed it, but not to put a driver into every car.
