The antiâ€"inflationary policy described by Hon. Mr. King in his recent adâ€" dress over the Canadian Broadcastmg Corporation national network includes the compulsory, general extension through industry and commerce of the costâ€"ofâ€"living bonus policy and prohiâ€" bits increases in basic wage rates °xâ€" cept with government permission. Ottawa, Oct. 20 â€" Government offiâ€" clals today faced the task of estabâ€" lishing machinery for applying the "eeiling" controls of price and service cost levels and stabilization of wages announced by Prime Minister Macâ€" kenzie King. The policy provides additional aid to western wheat growers and to easâ€" tern livestock raisers, in order to equalâ€" ize the position of those in the agriâ€" cultural industry. Requires Coâ€"operation Mr. King admitted at once that these wartime economic measures would neâ€" cessarily be subject to revisions and adaptations, and said that could be effective in a democratic country only with the patriotic coâ€"operation of all people. In generai terms, the news steps inâ€" volve the following regulations and orders: 1. On and after‘ Nowvember 17, 1941, no persons may sell goods or supply any of a wide range of services at a price or rate higher than the maxiâ€" mum charged by him for such goods or services during the four weeks from last September 15, to October 11. Do.minion Sets Prices and Wages Living Bonus Must be Paid to All Workers. 2. Henceforth no employer in Canaâ€" dian industry or commerce may, withâ€" out permission, increase his present basic wage rates. 3. After November 15, 1941, every employer will be obliged to pay a costâ€" ofâ€"living ‘bonus under terms specified by government order based upon the cost of living statistical index. 4. The government will make suppleâ€" mentary payments to farmers in the spring wheat areas of Western Canâ€" ada on the basis of their cultivated acreage as defined under the Prairie Farms Assistance Act. 5. Eastern Canada farmers will be assisted by payment by the federal government of all freight charges on feed grain and other feed shipped from Fort William or Port Arthur to Onâ€" tario, Quebec and the Maritime proâ€" vinces. Under Prices and Trade Board Price fixing and regulating will be in the hands of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board which has been perâ€" forming the same task in individual inâ€" stances since the start of the war, unâ€" der chairmanship of Hector McKinnon former tariff commissioner and now chairman also of the triff board. Wage regulations will be in the hands of a National War Labor Board working with regional war labor boards each equally representative of emâ€" ployers and employses. Government experts have been workâ€" ing on the plan for weeks and the general details were not unexpected alâ€" though the government was ready to apply the restrictions on wage inâ€" creases. Details of the regulations as they affect individual activities will be anâ€" nounced from time to tme as they are worked out by the departmental offiâ€" cers. Small businesses will not be includâ€" ed in the regulations affecting payâ€" ment of wages and costâ€"ofâ€"living bonâ€" uses but their exclusion will be due only to administrative difficulties. Last night Labor Mmister McLarty said that although basic wage rates in industry or commerce cannot be chargâ€" ed without permission under the new policy, increases for promotion or inâ€" creased responsibility will continue.

One of the things not decided yet is the maximum salary level at which bonâ€" uses would be paid. Distinction would Commenting in his address on the new regulations Mr. King said prices were to be halted at a level they have already reached but except in cases where minimum prices are fixed, they will be free to fall before the ceiling. be made between "wages" and "salarâ€" ies" and men in executive positions and other higherâ€"paid employees would not be eligible. Provincial and muniâ€" cipal government employees, domestic help and farm labourers would also be outside the scheme. This ceiling on prices will apply to all goods except sales for export. The ceiling also will apply to rentals and to rates charged for electricity, gas, steam heat, water, telegraph, telephone and wireless services, transportation and traffic and storage facilities, launâ€" dering, cleaning, tailoring, hair_dressâ€" ng and related services, plumbing and heating, painting and decorating, reâ€" pairing of all kinds, meals and beverâ€" ages. These were the services mentioned in the prime minister‘s speech but he said the Wartime Prices and Trade Board had power to add to the list. It was noted that professional setrâ€" vices such as those of doctors, dentist and lawyers, were not mentioned and it is understood they were not intended to be affected. Officials said the task of; administerâ€" ing the new priceâ€"control setup was to be regarded as one cf the greatest adâ€" ministrative tasks ever placed on aA Canadian government board. It was anticipated a staff of possibly 5,000 would be needed, and that the prices and trade board would need offices in every centre with 10,000 population or more. A spokesman for the board said last night it would be impossible to have all the priceâ€"ceilings established by Novâ€" ember 17, when the new. policy takes effect. . Merchants would be warned, however, that where no ceilings had been fixed they could not charge more than their highest price from Septemâ€" ber 15 to October 1!1, and it was anâ€" ticipated most would comply readily. "The truth is," Mr. King said in the course of his address, "That all but an insignificant minority of the populaâ€" tion would be worse off as a result of rising prices, if prices were permitted to rise unchecked, and, in general, the relatively poor would suffer more than relatively .well_toâ€"do."

Further steps to restrict the conâ€" sumption of nonâ€"essential civilian goods will be announced from time to time, the prime minister said in the efforts already under way to divert material and manpower into war proâ€" duction. | scarcity of these goods already created by this policy had contributed to price rises and "steps may have to taken to see that the necessities of life are fairly distributed."

Many details of the work of the (Anthony Praga in the Cardiff Mail) A simple example at the outset will make the matter clear: The stiffening in the lapels Oof a Nazi‘s jacket was examined and found to consist, not of the normal material but of jute and spun paper yarn. Now spun paper yarn may do well in the lapels of a jacket in place of flax, though it would tend to become maloâ€" dorous when damp, but when it comes to sandbags, for which jute is necessary, it is bulk for bulk far less strong than jute, its wet strength being considerâ€" ably weaker. Further, the Ministry learnt from examination of a paper yarn pillowâ€" case that Hitler is short of jute and hard up for sandbags. It is-known by the same means that "Entering the third winter of war, the British peoâ€" ple know what they are up against and face it with serene courage". Colonel George Drew said in a recent broadcast from London, concluding his vightâ€"weeks study of conditions there. "Women are in this war as much as men. One million of them are in uniformm.

Germany is increasingly forced to use higher and higher proporiion of synthetic fibre, such as lanital, artifiâ€" cial wool, and rayon. But rayon, we have learnt, is also being used for suits, the lustre being sometimes first processed out, and the one thing that a suit made of rayon cannot well stand is wet.

Another thing found out by the inâ€" spired plodding of the patient analysts is quiet rooms in quiet towns is that the Germans are suffering from wet paint.
