the tribune stouffville on t thursday june 6 1946 the world of today and tomorrow by r- j deachman its a strange world srikes are springing up here and there a har- vest of oregons teeth an after math of war one eight almost wonder at the moment who governs in the united states the people or john l lewis the farmers of canada are pro testing against conditions in agri culture few returned men are going back to the farms they are less hopeful of the future there prefer life in the cities parliament squabbles about the way of doing things rather than about getting things done a dominionprovincial confer ence has just broken up because of inability to agree about anything except the need for action the united nations makes progress slowly russia unfamiliar with our ways wants her own way at every turn sulks when displeased we wonder how long it will be before the treaty of peace is signed petu lantly ask if the drawing up of the peace treaty is going to take as much time as the winning of the war is that enough one might go on indefinitely in nature we are not confined to blacks and whites the master artist who made hings as they are put into the picture the softer tones grays mauves and pinks lets take them as they come the other side john l lewis is not the presi dent of the united states he repre sents a small minority of the people temporarily the voters may be indiiferent democracy is a strange creed the compass under certain conditions may vary but as a rule it swings to the north in the midst of the worst crisis of american history abraham lincoln was able to console himself and the nation by these simple this too will pass farm conditions will adjust we hear now of people leaving the farms this in time will alter the balance of population if it proves a serious movement farm land will fall in price conditions in the cities may become less pleasant as popu lation increases the price of farm products will rise in relation to other products the farm will be come a more pleasant place to live there is something to be gained from rowing against the current rather than with it at least it strengthens the muscles of the arms failure and success the dominionprovincial con ference failed but in the end those who differed will return to settle their differences or find another way of doing things we have amaz ing ability for developing new- equipment the binder seemed at one time to be the ultimate in farm machines its out of date now washed up soon it will be a mus eum curiosity we improve mechan isms our minds improve more slowly in time the nations will settle down even the greatest of the fakirs must get tired walking in bare feet over hot needles or mak ing a boy disappear from the end of a high pole there is in the world today a more genuine desire for peace than ever before tortured countries seek peace rather than war russia has a world of her own to exploit isolationism is not now as strong in the united states as it once was the graves of this war are fresh in our memory let us keep them green so that we may never forget let us remember ihat when pandoras box was opened and all the evils of the world let loose hope remained only the loss of hope could destroy the world canada to supply over 2 million tons bread maysept there is no doubt on parliament hill in wellinformed quarters that the import discussions which have taken place in london washington and ottawa on proposals to allevi ate the disastrous effects of the world food shortages will lead to further intensive actions in canada to help in this great international crisis it can even be reported that the close collaboration between these three englishspeaking capi tals and the latest discussions on the part of officials have given hints in ottawa on broad lines of future policy the maximum supplies of bread grains that are at present likely to be available from may through to september 1946 have been assess ed at some ten million tons of which canada expects to supply 23 million tons said acting prime minister ilsley in the house of commons in indicating canadas plans for increasing such supplies screamed requirements for the same period were expected to total 134 million tons leaving a defici ency of 34 million tons or about 25 percent then he made this signi ficant declaration a further in tensive review and scaling down of these requirements to the barest minimum needs are likely to reduce the gap over this fivemonths period to something under one million tons inevitably severe hardship will result and great danger of famine will continue the canadian government has agreed to associate itself with the united kingdom and the united states governments in maintaining constant review of the situation george coltham

to all ontario families during the war years when it was vitally important to keep the cost of living index down the wartime prices and trade board subsidized the price of milk in december 1942 through the consumer subsidy milk was delivered by the dairies to you at two cents a quart less than you paid previous to that date everyone is grateful to the prices board for this arrangement which over the past three and a half years has proved so help ful in keeping available to you a plentiful supply of this most essential food the wartime prices and trade board has now decided as part of its policy to relax many of the wartime controls that it is advisable to discontinue payment of this consumer subsidy which is costing the taxpayers of canada over 20000000 a year you are now being called upon to pay the two cents instead of the government paying it out of your taxes this means thaf on june 1st your quart of milk will revert to the old price in effect before the subsidy was established it is noteworthy that in the face of rising prices all along the line milk will cost no more after june 1st than it did three and onehalf years ago in contrast according to a recent statement made by donald gordon chair man wartime prices and trade board the comparable price in the united states is now equal to seven cents per canadian quart higher than the canadian price ontario milk distributors
