Farmers will be interested in the recent debate in the House of Commons during which Dr. Picke! terms the milk distributors of Canâ€" ada "robbers". The Mail and Empire makes the following interesting editorial comment on the question : "And the chances are that within ten years half of these young men who are now "refusing" to bear arms in any war of Canada‘s will be ardently supportâ€" ing the next "popular" war, after having ardently supported throughout the intervening time the poliâ€" ciesâ€"of tariffs, of immigration, of exclusion, of finâ€" anceâ€"which make occasional warfare inevitable so long as nations cannot learn the unselfishness which will alone prevent it." "Now that in the House of Commons Dr. F. H. Pickel of Bromeâ€"Missisquoi has gone so far as to call the milk distributors of Canada "highwaymen and robbers," and Mr. R. B. Hanson of Yorkâ€"Sunbury has asked for an investigation under the Combines Act, surely action on the muchâ€"discussed milk question will follow, with a view to securing justice all around, and especially for the farmers. If the speeches at Ottawa were warranted, the problem is not local to any comâ€" munity. "The Ontario Minister of Agriculture states that an investigation is under way in this Province, through meetings between producers and distributors, to deal with the priceâ€"spread, the size of which is causing all the trouble. The further comment of the Minister that he finds a sixâ€"cent spread prevailing in many other world centres does not provide an adequate answer, nor does direct action such as is threatened by the Milk Pool of Wisconsin. Milk is a food comâ€" modity too precious to be trifled with to satisfy grievâ€" ances. Its consumption has declined because buying power is reduced, but its importance requires that a solution be sought along lines which will give all parties concerned something of a fair break in reâ€" lation to the circumstances prevailing. Producers and distributors usually reach agreement by negotiation and the consumer pays what is asked. The grievance is mainly that of the producer. The whole question should be spproached und settled from the standpoint of equity. "Both Dr. Fickel and Mr. Hanson believe the distributors‘ organizations hold the whip and use it. The charges of the formerâ€"on whatever area basedâ€" are vigorous. "The distributor of milk," he says, "reâ€" ceives $4 per hundred in quarts, and 2 cents per quart extra if he distributes by the pint. If you consider the spread he gets out of the ice cream, which costs him 37%% certs per gallon, and which he sells at $1.20, and consider the buttermilk, which he steals entirely from the farmer and sells for nearly as much as he does the whole milk; and if you consider further the separated milk, which he uses to reduce superâ€" standard milk, which he also steals from the farmer, you will readily see that he is getting more than $5 per hundred." "The fact seems to be that producers and distriâ€" butors are joint suppliers of a needed commodity and that the prices received by the latter are out of proâ€" portion to the compensation of the former. This is apart from any allegation as to a combine. What is to be done about it" »n Friday evening. it heing the eve of her marriage and surprised her with a miscellaneous shower. Toâ€" wards the close of the social gatherâ€" ‘ng a mock wedding was eolemnized. D. W. Culbert acted as parson and ontered the drawing room with the groom, Rev. E. G. Dale to the atrains of the wedding march played by Mies Ruth Bunt. They were followâ€" ed by the bride, Me«e Corinne Anguish, who entered on the arm of ber father, Mr. H. Kropf. The cereâ€" mony was performed amid roars of laughter from the witnesses. Folâ€" lowing this Mies Patterson and the groom to be, Walter Foley, opened the numerous gifts which was pre ceeded by a few remarks by the "The farmers are suffering in the sale of everyâ€" thing they produce, in many cases out of proportion to the reduced prices to the consumer. If the Agriâ€" cultural Committee of the House of Commons, or the Provincial Department of Agriculture, wants to make itself useful it will endenvor to help the farmer get a larger proportion of the ultimate dollar in those cases where the consumer is still paying. This would provide some measure of relief. A fairer distribution of the last payment is needed, even though it means a scaling down somewhere in the process until general business picks up once more."

If we thought|f properly fed, should be ready for such intention. * * ; "The language of their declaration is either very carelessly or else very dexterously drawn. It reads: "That in the event of the, government of Canada declaring war we, the members of the Victoria College Branch of the Movement for a Christian Social Order, refuse to bear arms or in any way actively coâ€"operate therein." It will be noted that this is not even a pledge; it is merely a declaration of a present frame of mind. The addition of the word "will" before "refuse" might give it some sort of promissory characâ€" ter, but as it stands it is all in the present tense. But apart from that slight omission, it applies to wars "declared" by the Dominion. It leaves the signatories quite free to engage in the use of force either for or against a revolutionary movement either in or out of Canada, to join in anybody else‘s wars, and generally to exercise a great deal of discretion as to when they will and will not Â¥ight. The only war in which they \positively will not join is one officially set going by the Canadian people through their elected rulers. If rumors coming to Canada from the United States are true it would indicate that the government of the United States is now empowered to take early and radical action towards doing its share to rescue the world from its present economic condition. It is said that Presidentâ€"elect Franklin D. Roosevelt will be given special powers of an almost dictatorial character, powers not before enjoyed by any other President even in time of war. It is apparent that the United States people are now realizing the seriousness of the present situation. Leading Democrats and Republicans are believed to be ready to consent to the surâ€" render of a large amount of its ordinary power to hamper presidential policies. One of the first acts of President Roosevelt will likely be the reduction in the gold content of the American dollar, the precise amount of which is not yet determined, but will depend largely upon the terms which can be imposed upon the depreciated currency countries for their return to the gold standard. The only leverage that the United States possesses is its war debt claims. The Americans have come to the conclusion that the extinction of their exâ€" port trade is mainly due to currency depreciaâ€" tion in other countries, and the best way to restore it is to put an end to such depreciation. There may be a basis of economy for the new fad of trousers for women. Husbands, for example, could wear their wives‘ handâ€"meâ€" downs.
