have made a conscient ious effort to control prices in this country lo an extent that uich a con dulion may be avoided they had a varying degree of suceess and in te of cntsnun we believe that the canadian public is behind the meas ure lo a greater extent than is real ised tn ottawa if there ba been an oubiaimhiu mistake made in ottawa during this war it has been the mistake of dis counting the degree to which public sympathy can be enlisted for any measure which is intended to pro mote the carry in of the war there ha been a persistent attitude that the public must be kept in the dark and told what i good for it and what it must do that loans must be pushed by high pressure salesmen and that price ceiling arc a thing that can be made work by saying that they must work mow there i some idea that they may be abandoned but we honestly believe that if the canadian public were consulted there vvould be a surprising amount of support given to measures which have been unpop ular more through their method of enforcement than because they were called into being just because a policy which was undertaken without enough prepar ation khaui signs of weakness is no reason to abandon it
