UC Gllyhlllll |JL|Lr III] [II IULID DU GEIILIIIULILC. A more sober and constructive view of the situation was presented by V. S. Milburn, sec- retary of the Ontario Chamber of Agriculture. in an address to the Barrie Kiwanis `Club last week. Mr. Milburn cited facts and figures which conclusively proved that the farmer that the prices of agricultural products were the same today as they were" in 1913. while the prices of everything else _had gone up. He said that if butter and other dairy pro- ducts were selling at their proper price today. the difference would be about seventy million dollars to the dairy farmers alone. The scale of wage"s paid on Government war work has drawn a large portion of the labor from the farms and the cost of farm help has increased ` 30 to 50 per cent. Yet the farmer is expected to carry on as usual under these unusual con- ditions. 11.. -:1:-n._.__._ LIA .\-_ ..,:u _._ AI`- \.__.s _.l.... was not getting a square deal.

I DISTRIBFTION OF INDUSTRIES I With many new war industries coming into being and with a large number of manufac-' turing concerns being started in Canada by refugee industrialists from European coun- tries. the Simcoe Reformer suggests that the Dominion Government should give serious; thought to the geographical distribution otl these concerns. Naturally where established industries have secured government war or- ders, the capacity of the present plants will be enlarged. but the Reformer contends that where completely new plants are required. especially in the case of refugee industries. they should be located in the smaller com- munities. in __.|-- e-.. .--xI2A_.._. ._-- _-__ _ ___, ., 2.- .n___;__.n . _ V ' ' That H`-.m".- 'lr.u'n he : alw.a)'1 \\.mlcd.

The work of the Commission was overshad-| owed by the outbreak of the war, and there; was a danger that its Report would be rele-` gated to the Archives at Ottawa. But the Government is resolved that the work of this! "Commission will not go into oblivion. for thei significance of its Report has been multiplied` many times by conditions of war. The auth- .ors of the Summary point out that "the Do- minion Government is making large expendi- tures in prosecuting the war. and these ex- penditures are bound to increase to figures that now may appear absurdly high. The Federal Government is being forced to in- lcrease taxation and may be forced toinvade fields of taxation that hitherto "have been! heft to the Provinces. The existing fiscal sys- ` tem of Canada is wasteful and inequitable in the best of times. but in times of national crisis such as now prevails it is positively vi- cious.

Whatever happens I will never turn back."; declared Mussolini in his last speech on the i campaign in Greece. The precipitate manner: lin which the Italans are turning back in Al-{ bania seems to be conclusive evidence that: Mussolini does not represent the views of hisl fighting men. But. of course. the Duce never 5 took any personal part in the attack upon the Greeks. and he can therefore, claim that he |did not turn back. The decision of the Federal Government to appoint a parliamentary committee to scrut- inize war expenditurqs is :1 move in the right direction. The fact that Canada's war effort is being carried on by a one-party govern- iment is bound to arouse jealousy and suspi- lcion. and it would be a wonder if it did not lead to a certain amount. of political favorit- ism and corruption. It is the privilege and the duty or the Opposition to scrutinize as well as criticize. The charges of loose management and staff incompetence in the CBC, made by Alan B. Plaunt. who has resigned from the Board of Governors. call for a thorough investigation. but not by an expensive commission. A cou- ple of efficiency experts could do the job. Mr. Plaimt stated that it was "almost impos- sible to dismiss anyone on the CBC staff. no matter how incompetent." It has been stated that social and political cliques con- trol the appointments and frequently the choice of programme personnel.

Scott, president or the United Farmers Cooperative Company.- at the annual shareholders meeting in Tor- onto recently. Mr. Scott stated that present day policies lead to agricultural bankruptcy and then to peasantry. Coming from one who is so intimately associated with the ag- ricultural industry. there must be some ground for a discouraging view of the future of farming in this country. It may be that Mr. Scott was merely talking for effect, with an eye on the Government, but the general effect of his pessimistic remarks can scarce- ly be anything but injurious to agriculture.

[ The two main objects of the budget were to I ease the drain on foreign exchange. by plac- ing a ban on importation of non-essential ar~ ticles. and to assist Britain in her financial: struggle by promoting the sale of British goods in Canada. In commenting upon these features of t.he budget. Mr. Ilsley said: "The measures we are taking have more than a monetary significance. By denying ourselves of a wide range of imports and by the reduc- tions and removals of duties on British goods we once more say to Britain and to the world that we are with her and that we have faith in her ultimate success." ll... `l I..I.... ....:..o....a ..... sI-.-A 4\... .I...._.....u r,__.. l')ill'l`Il'.

Mr. Ilsley pointed out that the demand for: nearly all of the banned imports had already increased considerably by wartime spending and he believed that the taxes would not curttiil production beyond the degree required by the labor and material requirements of the department of munitions and supply. In 0l'- ` der to e:'.sure that advantage would not be taken of the import. restrictions to raise prices | of Canadian-produced goods. there was in-l eluded a provision to enable the Government to suspend the restrictions or duties and im- pose penalties by way of special tax levies! on profiteers. 1
