become tough for lack of world markets our best customers the british isles went into the war a credit nation but she came out a debit nation when other nations owed her- billions of money she took

said if was little wonder that the respon sible men at ottawa looked to the future with certain appre hension but if we keep our heads and save our money we could come through persons who hold bonds should never sell them without a real need arises further never trade government bonds without consulting your banker stock brokers or others who will not wait for this investigation will be looked on with suspicion r thati strike at windsor the farmers advocate the strike at the ford plantih windsor- ontario has revealed a type of labour leadership definitely not wanted in canada closing the power plant was of no advantage whatever l the strikers and could mean nothing-butdam- age to and loss of ipropertythe lawless element revealed their purpose- and type of mind when automobiles were f forcefully commandeered and the owners violently ejected from their cars strikes have- been legalized an canada and so has- t picketing but public opinion in this country will never condone lawlessness- sabotage violence intimidation and disregard of property rights that so- often characterize cio leadership hereand in united states this journal does not presume to sit in judgment and decide the merits of the case as between employer and workers t the farmers advocate and home magazine recognizes the moral right of workers to a fair wage reasonable working conditions and a good standard of living it is easy to take this stand because it is also sound economics- organized agriculture argues that when prices for farm products are mamtainedpn a reasonable level good j times

factories- and betterbuyers of the product grown onthe land v it is- therefore- in no spirit of antagonismthat this journal suggests to labour that their progress will be more rapid if they remain within the limitsof law and reason- no good reason can be seen why a financial statement should not be publishedvshowingthesource and i disposition of funds if it is true that fees collected here are sent out of country never to return that certainly is- a situation requiring immediate correction canadian laws provide pro- tectiorivfor unions operating in canada canadian jaws should go further and provide protection for canadian workers organized agriculture sometimes expresses the pious hope that farm- and labour groups may gettogether as they should get together in a common cause certainly that is a noble purpose but organized agriculture would never be happy bedfellows with labor groups who employ gang- ster tactics use force defy the law and resort to intimida tion public opinion should demand that labouremployer differences be settled by arbitration without- cessation- of work- without destruction of property and without inter ruptionin the production of goods the strike is a primi- tive practice and in the past has served- a- good purpose but as a modern method of- settling differences and reaching new agreements it is antiquated and outmoded electrical rates sfcga

taxation were imposed on hydro which now pays 3500000 in annual taxes v these are among a number ofpoints emphasized- in a brief submitted to the ontario government by the ontario municipal electric association the brief- states that any move along the line of addi tional taxation- would not be in the interests of the people of ontario it also contends that in manycases arguments favouring further taxation have beeninitiated by individ- 4 uals or groups who are seeking to underminehydro in order to promote- their own selfish interests the submission goes on to point out that additional taxation would increase costs to rural- consumers and adversely affectthe- interest of 900 municipalities -eo-oper- atingin the development of power on a low cost basis the hydro organization throughout the province has j no function save thevdevelopment and distribution of elec tric energy at cost the brief states it is not competing with private industry it is continually doing its very best to lower the cost of power to industry and to commercial and domestic consumers so that they in turn will have more funds to meet their obligations hydro does not function for any particular class or group in the province nor for any r specific area ithas as its objective the providing of electric energy as it is required in- all parts of the province at as low a cost as provincewide distribution system can do it on a reasonably stable financial basis r- our gapital correspondent written expressly for the stouflville tribune by dean wilson r party leaders and whips in parlia ment have beeh showing some real christmas spirit this year in their desperate drive to close up for the holidays and it has been no simple nor easy assignment fen account of the talkative proceedings as well as a heavy programme though now it can be told that this drive for more and more speed in parliament has been relatively successful especially since premier king told the parlia ment that some measures such as the citizenship act- the proposed extradition treaty andprotocbl with the united states etc would have to wait the 1946 session other matters such as the exports credit act and the bretton woods fin ancial arrangements etc would be handled in this session then again another story has been circulating i now that when the parliament will meet in 1946 a somewhat similar effort may be made to bring about allparty cooperation in stream lining proceedings so that it may be possible to end the new session before it runs into the intense heat of the capital next summer if con ditions will warrant andallqw such a conclusion in view of the removal of- meat rationing in the united statesrand its continuation in canada tlerfes considerable interest in ottawa about the likely effects of thissitu- ation since both countries are com mitted to help relieve the shortages of meat abroad especially since meatrationing went back into effect inthis country only last september admittedly in the midst of furious protests not only from the trade across this nation but- from numer ous other directions the united states in exporting less than five per cent of its meat supplies may be able to manage its r program through- setaside orders without rationing and still be able to main tain fair distribution and fair prices said in- part prime minister stouffville a v- prize list

of our federally inspected kill and maintain orderly distribution and hold our pricevceihngs while some may order that- the majority should or should not agree to set up a divorcecourt system m quebec for the convenience of the minority in that province yet this year as in others it is evident that opinions in ottawa differ sharply on this matter judging by the re actions in parliament when it gave thought to 63 divorce bills as approved by the senate a spokes man for the government indicated that the suggestion that quebec divorces should be handled by the exchequer court in ottawaor else where outside quebec may not be practicable likewise a french- canadian minister of the cabinet declared that it might be unwise for parliament to impose a divorce court in quebec province since it would be repugnant to the majority of the people of that province be cause of their wellknown views against divorce then again other speakers remarked that since que bec alone was without a divorce system in its courts this was not satisfactory in the manner in which numerous y divorces ar rushed tluouglv the house of commons after previously being passed by the senate though others in parliament hold that the senates work in divorces was very carefully done and very judicially handled by experienced men nevertheless in face of these heateddisputes about the origin of numerous divorces in quebec each year without a distinct court in thaf province to handle same no better method seems to be at hand with one view being uhat the problem would be getting worse rather than better in the near future on account of the many hasty marriages contracted during the war the only woman member- of parliament has come forth with a request that the federal govern ment should make plans to bring refugee childrento canada in order to save these little victims from the terrible chaotic conditions prevalent in europe this winter however premier king himself rose to answer her though the woman member mrs gladys strum- had asked this question of the minister of national health and welfare honbrooke claxton with the head of the government declaring that it is impossible to exaggerate the conditions this winter in europe due to the lack of food clothes shelter etc but stated premier king who had used the word appalling in referring to euro pean conditions the canadian government would have to consider the problem wltti great care be cause jit regarded at the present time the repatriation of service personnel from overseas as its great task stressing that the shortage of shipping from europe was the limiting factor in considering what might be done in the line of carry ing out- that proposed by the only woman member of the hduse of commons mrs strum music box also laurai and
