' Basing his talk on the recent "meteoric rise of prices," Mr. Brewin declared that there was being now unfolded the "inevitable result of a declining capitalism." The system was now . characterized by rising prices and extremely high profits, along with a decline in real wages, he said, because of shortages and terprise economy. trols on feed grains as the most direct contribution to the present rise in food prices. Farmers' pro- fresh round of inflation. An inevitable result of inflation would be deflation, he warned, with drastic cuts in prices for the farm- ers as their domestic markets be- came dried up as a result of the reduction in real wages. Business stagnation would follow resulting in reduced wages and this condition adding further to the process. The C.CF. he continued was formed by people who thought free enterprise was no longer adequate to meet the needs of the people and who saw as necessary a substantial amount of public and co-operative enterprise with pricing and produc- tion policies which would hold the balance even. Claiming that gallup poll surveys showed that policies advocated by the C.CF. were those desired by the majority of the people, he charged that only a minority sup- ported the party because the few opposed to its policies were the minority controlling public opinion. The current "anti-Communist hysteria," he said was b€ing ex- tended to democratic socialism while the people were "allowed to im>gine" that free enterprise was still really in operation. The C.C.F. provincial president predicted, however, that almost in- evitably the people would turn with growing confidence to his party, realizing that its policies of econ- omic planning were what' they ac- tually desired, and he expressed the | view that 1948 would be a "year of i challenge to the C.C.F, gener- ally." ,, DESERT FOOD The prickly pear is eaten by coy- | stitutions.

Graham Noted Surgeon Passes Collingwood, Ont.; Jan. 19 (CP). --~Canada's medical profession to- day mourns Dr. Roscoe R. Graham, a country doctor's son whose deft- ness with the scalpel earned him a reputation among colleagues on this continent as a leader in the delicate field of abdominal surgery. Dr. Graham, 58 on Jan, 2 was stricken with a heart attack while skiing here yesterday with his wife and a friend. He had driven here from Toronto Saturday for a week-end of one of his favorite outdoor recreations. At the time 'of his death, the American College of Surgeons had just invited him to give the John B. Murphy oration in San Fran- cisco next spring--an invitation considered a signal honor among surgeons of North America. This was only one of the many honors heaped upon the tall To- ronto surgeon as he rose steadily to the pinnacle of his profession and won world renown. He was a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada, of the Ameri- can College of Surgeons and of "the Mexican Academy of Surgery. He also was a member of the American Surgical Association, the Central Surgical Society and the Canadian Medical Association. He was president of the Canadian Society of Clinical Surgeons and was associated with many other surgical associations and societies. He contributed numerous papers, mostly on abdominal surgery, to surgical journals of Canada, Great Britain and the United States. The world's medical men knew him as the first surgeon to remove from the pancreas the adenona of the islets of Langerhans. In this rare disorder the pancreas dis- charges too much insulin--a con- dition the opposite to diabetes, in which the pancreas furnishes in- sufficient insulin. He was chosen in 1939 to per- form an operation in Detroit on the late Edsel Ford, then head of the Ford Motor empire.

Contract Prices Have Been Set For The Season The Marketing Service of the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture reports that canning opera- tions in the lakeshore district of Eastern Ontario are now confined to the processing of apples. Con- tract prices have now been set for tomatoes, peas and corn so canners and growers can now negotiate acreage for 1948 crops. Although offerings of apples continue to be heavy there has been | an improvement in demand. Occa- sional buyers have been in the dis- trict but purchases were confined generally to green varieties for pro- cessing. These have been sold as Domestic or better at prices rang- ing from $2.25 to $2.40 per cwt. FOB shipping point. Approximate- ly 10,000 barrels have been sold during the week and this has had a 'stimulating effect upon the mar- ket for red varieties and prices for these remain firm and steady.

Celery is scarce and prices are high. Offerings of onions, par- | snips, and turnips are sufficient to meet demand and prices are firm and steady.

Gand. | hi said. fulfilment of this pledge | would double "my intense wish to live a full span of life doing service to humanity . . . at least 125 years, | or as some say, 133 years." | His reference was to a resolution, signed a few hours before he ended | his ordeal, in which communal lea- ders pledged their lives as an earnest of peace. They adopted his seven-point program for social acceptance and safety of lives and property of Mos- lems in India. They set up a com- mittee of 130, of all religions, to meet nightly for a review of pro- | gress toward these ends. i An aessociate sald that, once Gandhi is sure harmony reigns in India, he intends to go to Pakistan to try "truth and non-violence' to the same purpose there.
