Editor and Between the years 1924 and 1930 the mechanization of B1'i12a.in in- creased 19 per cent., which means that each worker accomplished just 19 per cent. more than the same 'worker did in the period preceding. lA11d this mean: also that human . It is said that 20,000 volume: -`have been written in the cause and cure of unemployment and kindzei subjects, and probably this is ex- ceed-ed by the spate of plaitform verbage with which th-is and other countries have been deluged. Un- employment naturally tends itself to emotional appeal, and is used in sup- port o-of a great variety of economic, political and nancial nostrums de- signed more to give notoriety to their advocates than as helpful or practical solutions to this problem. Most of these schemes urge regula- tion by government of undertakings engaged in the production or dis- tribution of the nation- s wealth, or they aim at reform of our monetary to be nothing more original than the use of the printing press for me creation of more currency. So far We have not been convinced that we can improve on our present ecnomic , system of society. At the same time we believe that system has ` been grossly abused in the past, and not least by business leaders through- - out the country and many reform are urgently demanding attention, the rst of which is the simplication of our system of government. We have too many governments, over- lapping and too extravagant. Little, however, can be done until the pub- lic is convinced that a reduction In the cost of government and balanced budgets must precede any sane and : permanent recovery. We often abuse our politicians for the ills` from which we suffer, forgetting that they can only advance as the.r constituents will allow them. Busi- i ness to-day is seriouslv handicapped by unreasonable government inter- ference and taxation; if these handi- caps were removed, private enter- ` prise would, sooner than We imagine, absorb a very large portion of those who are at present unemployed. I \p11cy, which on examination proves I Germany expressed approval of Adolph Hi-tler at the polls on Sun- day, over 98 per cent. of the ballots cast being in favor of his policies, but there was no other choice. Ii the Germans did not vote for Hitler -:11-ey would be marked peopln;-. w'U`1'KUl` (110 In Elbe pBl'lO(1 preceamg. And means also that human labor was that much less in demand. Russia's latest military budget set aside the enormous sum of $3,100,- 000,000 for war prepai-a.1.i~ons. The amounli: in rubles was 14,800,000,- 000. And yert we are told that Com- munism hates war and will get rid of it. But, if so, the` tremendous war preparations seem rather unac- countable. A new idea in the interests of pacicism was born in Princeton University last week when a maxe- ment started known as The Vet- erans of Future Wars. These youngsters, who term themselves the veterans of the future war, want the Gbvernment to pay them each $1,000 bonus immediately. They gure that as future veterlans of war, they ought to get Whatever benets there are, and if they are to die they choose to be paid rst. > Next in order comes Honourable 5 Mr. Gardiiner s claim to rank as the i W-estetrn grain-gvrowers hero. - his connection it is necessay to re- view briey the manner in which the present legislation has arisen. In 1930 the pool farmers of the t West delivered their xvhet-it to the ' elevarbors for initial In` payments va-r- . i iously fixed at 60, 55 and 50 cents. ' ' Wlhen th-e Gurain Board s-tituted last autumn, some 75,000,- 000 bushels of this grain was still . in the hands of the nool. and sec- \V3.S' COI'l- - 1 tion 7F of the legzis-lation provided .` `rqthat the Board 3 wheat over upon ' ons to be agreed. Back in L730-, ber the late Conservative Govern- ` ment negotiated with the pool re- - presenltatives the conditions of the - transer. A that time wheat was * selling at 93 cents per bushel. There was clearly a prot in it to which the pool members were en- rtitled, and their propos-all was to have all 1930 payments equalized ,1. on the basis of 60 cents per bushei. In addition, the amount by which the wheat fund was ahead due to co`aIrse~ grain operaxtion-s was to be refunded and a grant was to be made to the pools of $862,487 to help them meet operating costs. The whole disbursement reached the sum of $8,262,000. As the prot in the wheat, at the 93-cent price, approximated this figure, the Con- servative Government 'agreed to the arrangement, passed the niecessary order-in-council, but was defeated,` before it could carry it out. x The present Lib-eral Government` did not thereupon carry out the, lorder-in-council, and now Mr. Gardiner contends, in effect, that it was a trick agreeniuent. There was} no authority in the grain board act` for either the payments in respect to coarse grzuins or for the $862,000 terms and cov-di- could never havn been r':n'rip(i run 1' contribution to the wheat pools. - Co11sc(1uen:l_v, the Liberal l\/I.'inister argues that the Bennett bargain should take this ` u1y,=t:s U0 Lnc L,mnese. The proof of any pudding, nz1ll_v,l is the ezirlzinqz. The following is what the pool wrmers would have secur- ed if the Ootobeir orderr-in-council had been implemented by this gov- ernment : For equalizing wheat prices . . . . . . . . . . . . $6,501,000 For equalizing` coarse grain prices . . . . . 890,658 Contribution to pool ex- penses . . . . . . . . . . .. 862,48'7I And the followin-g is wha7t the` pool farmers are going` to secure as a. result of the deal which Imrn1ers Friend Gardiner is giving them: This is the question which, in- directly, parliamentary deba.-be of the past week has been trying to am swer. And it was when Mr. Slaght nominated himself 1`-or the post of advoclafce and chief defender of the Prairie agricu-1t_.urisfs, in atbempt1ng_ to answer it, athat proceedings reach- . ed the highest pinnacle of spiritedi storm and oonrbention Ithat they have 5 tsouchxed so far this sessi`on--oor, for` thiatt maltter, for several sessions.

Actually the subject under discus- sion has been the government s pro- posal to disburse $6,950,000 to, Western grain pool members to equalize the prices paid for the 1930 crop -on the basis of 60 cents per `bushel for` number one Nosrnhern. The debate has been stormy .hroug`h~' out, and I-Loniourab-le Mr. Gardiner has not been disposed to pour oil on the troubled waters. The reworks came, acco-rddngly, when in a grim reminder to the Minister of Agri- -culrbure that he could not hope to succeed by high-handed medahods in the House of Commons,'Mr. Bennett remarked to him that he was not dealing with poor rustics in a pro- vincial leugxisllacture. I Trnmnd1'n.+.pIv Mr. SiIH.D11'I'f. was nn his Immediately Mr. S~1-agiht was on his feest. He was dressed as though waiting for the spothight, rich plush vest, cutaway coat, resplen-dent ow- ing tie. and_ he thought he saw his opportunity. Protesting Mr. Ben- ne1at s remoairk as an implied slur up- on poor _Sasvk-a.`oohewan rustics, he- lavished his most effective oratoryi in their praise.

Rxinr-n 1 ]1nh Mr .Qar7-11+ 1111: run!` -r 'l` N5 1 Finally, there is Mir. Bennett/st position in the matter. The arrange-| ment, he contends, was one which, to be justied, should have been carried out speedily, while wiieuit prices were still sufficiently high to save the national treasury from ser ious loss. As regards the ability to act upon the order-in-ouncil of Oc toberr, he points out that ample power exists. Paym that could not be made under the wheat board act, could have been made readily under the peace, order and good govermcnt clause of the relief act. As evidence that the Liberal Gov- ernintent knew very` well the powers it had under the act, the Conserve tivn leader cited cases in which they had used them, the notable ins/tancc being to extend imnng;ration priv- iliges to the Chinese.

Earl Rowe is gaining recug nittion as a speaker and debater. ,Last week he addressed the Toronto Board of Trade, where he was we! rec-eived. The small size of the Op- position in `the House has placed Conservative members, and Mr. Rowe has fully lived up to these re sponsibilities say the Mail and Em- pire. He has spoken repeatedly in the debate on the Canadian--United .SLates trade tneaty. In discuss'ng item after item of the pact he ha revealed an intimate grasp of the probable effects of the treaity upon ,Canadian industry, and particularly upon the Canadian farming imlus try. A successful farmer himse'l', .he knows what he is talking about. and he has been able to hold hi own in tilts with Finance Minister ` Dunning and other Government i members across the oor of the House. He possesses an effective command of the English 1ang;uage, ` and a clear understanding of `he issues involved. Best of all, he ha been uniformly moderate and cour teens in his contributions to the de bate, and there can be no doubt that he stands higher to-day than i he ever did before in the ()S`tln13.'i1(,1'l ` of the Chamber. fresh responsibilities on the younger ` Hon.

Thedntermvediate schools to be started are merely a halfway home between the public school and high school and combine in la four- C year course the last two years of the public school and the rst two 1 years of the collegiate. Pupils will ` be introduced to secondary school subjects earlier and teachers` will be given an opportunity to study the i aptitudes of each student and thus direct the course of future educa~ tion. On entering high school stu- dent should know what course is advisable, academic, to prepare for 7 university; commercial o-r vocational. The proposed system has merits and should in a measure help to solve some of the diiculties facing boys l and girls at school. uwnere IJLIS Leads. ' The ease with which tax collec- , tions came in during` the twen-ties indicated littl-e need for economy, , and for some years arrears were not .`reg`a:rded seriously. Receipts were ilnot planned to minimize bank bor-' `rowin-g s, and oppontuiiities were not, taken to reduce capital borrowings and thus ease the uncertain future. Some municipalities were slow to realize the effects of declining busi- ness, of absence of new construc- tion, of lower real estate values, of lower rentals, of lower personal in- comes, of increased relief expendi- ' tures. Th-ey failed to visualize the inevitable results of these changing ' conditions. Insolvency and the Way Out Thtere is every sympathy for the municipality that has nowledge insolvency. Default, how- ever. was resorted in in many cases because it was felt `to be the easiest way out and because it was thought that it would provide a way to es- cape the full payment of obliga- tions.

We are in receipt of a pamphleu dealing with Reasons for Munici- palitzies Gelbting in-to Difficulties and the Way Ourt, by Mr. T. Bradshaw, of Toronto.

From 1930 to 19-3-5 the ratepayers own income decreased and tax collections tended downwards, while municipal expendi-; tures were continued on the as-' sumption that 100 per cent. of the taxes would be collected_ While only: 65 to 75 per cent. was actually re- ceived. Annual budgets decits had to be nanced by btzmk loans and issuance of debentures. Finally the market for these debentures dried up, and it became more difficult, and nally impossible to borrow fromi lche banks.
