transportation by bus train or aircraft The weekend brawl between the gangs from Lake Wilcox and Oak Ridges suggests that the chances of survival on the public highways these days are slim The increasing number of automobiles ami the in creasing power of engines combined with the disregard for the safety of others is a great challenge to those who are frying to cut the accident rate by percent When you are out with the family for a pleasure drive do you watch for threatening movements of approaching traffic Do you think of the wrongway motorist who sped along the left lane of a duallane highway losing his own life and that of someone else who happened to be in his path Do you think of the drunks in charge of 200 horsepower speed wagons or others who simply dont know the rules of the road If you do you will be one of the most cautious persons behind the wheel of a car We know the police are doing their best but they cannot find all the offenders and when they do find offenders sometimes it is too late As for the hood lums who took part in that performance last weekend we cannot adequately express what we think should be done with them of the Japan External Trade Recovery Organization of Tokyo and Osaka It will provide product research and trade information on Japan for Canadian importers exporters industrialists and businessmen from to coast One or two Canadian industries have corny plained about competition here from Japan but we must remember that she is a better customer for our products than we are for hers tip to now Last year Canadian exports to Japan totalled while imports from Japan totalled There are other reasons why we should be interest ed in Japanese imports Japan is at present a demo cratic country trying to recover from the troubled past and raise the standard of living for its people under the system of government which we have If it fails to accomplish these things no doubt it will turn to com munism A citizen of Newmarket and friend of the Japanese Councillor A spoke on the subject at a meeting of the Aurora Rotary Club recently He said If we want to help Japan in its efforts we should give a little to attain

a matter of great pride but it is also creating headaches in the form of a much greater debt load according to figures reported by the Financial Post Newmarket no doubt can give evidence to bear out the fact that there are headaches New schools for the bumper crop of postwar children new roads and services for the new suburbs are among the factors which have made debt rise twice as fast as revenue in many towns In municipal debt totaled millions By the end of 1935 this burden of debt outstanding reached millions percent higher than three years earlier Current revenues meanwhile amounted to millions in at the end of total municipal income reached millions or percent more than in Over percent of the municipali ties indebtedness is funded debt debentures Bank loans make up the rest Schools public utilities and other expenditures each account for percent to percent of all funded debt while road building debt makes up the remaining 17 percent of the total ivr give A little bid to

song sparrow lately returned home to his familiar fence post practises to get his voice just right again The woods and the trees along The street stir as small musicians of varying talents sort

concerts v- Meanwhile the scenery is being painted and hung up on boughs and branches In a revival of sculpture the outlines of trees and whole hillsides are being altered by leaves and grasses Bushes begin to look like some thing by Henry Moore or Barbara The stage directions seem to be a vast jumble but gradually things begin to assume some kind of order A new sky is brought on done in pastels

be tempted to put the entire blame on Stalin for the blunders and Ihe whole 20year period of his ride That clearly what Khrushchev Company like you to do Hut Is that reasonable explanation Could a single Individual have kept the world communist move under his thumb and have inflicted sufferings on of Stalin did there was something wrong with the Institutional setup through which he was work Is it not clear by now that there Is something wrong with communist organization If there had been democracy In the Party and if there had not been the unquestioning ob edience to the Party line the other members the Parly could have forced Stalin to drop the worst of his policies as soon as their disastrous effects began to appear Indeed d there had been democracy in the Party it would haw been

society But certain minimum adjustments In your thinking seem to be Indicated by the logic of First of all it ought to be clear that the pronouncements of the Party are not necessarily absolute truth The statements that the Party leaders are now making about Stalin do not contain anything whatever that is new or surprising to people who have been willing to face the evidence presented by thousands of refugees from Stalinist tyranny During nil these years you have believed that all accusations were capitalist pro Now your own lead confirm the worst of them In the second place It seems that the events of those two terrible decades as now ad mitted by the Party lenders conclusively prove the fallow ing points A belief in communism will not prevent a man from becoming a blundering tyiant A party docs not become infallible by claiming to speak for the working class Getting rid of capi talists docs not solve indeed it docs not touch the problem of human depravity Substituting a socialized economic system for a capital ist one docs not automatically guarantee liberty justice or happiness The important thing for hu man happiness is not the form of economic organization but the political and moral order The important problem that muslbe solved is the problem of giving government the power to become tyrannical That problem has solved and so far in all the history of mankind it has been solved only by the machinery and morality of democracy amino in the Ukraine painted out that if the Soviet had had to submit its policy to a popular vote if there had been one newspaper in the whole country free to re port the deliberate starvation of the peasants policy could not have Wen continued Strange things are in the State of Michigan those days There is a strike going on ami there are trucks dumped and there is a real shortage of milk in the city of Detroit Reports reach ing us very sketchy most as if the local papers on this side of the bolder had de cided that this strike isnt news in this country From alt we can learn there are several in teresting features in this dis turbance The to establish a new price have been going on for some time and originally the strike was started or was threatened to in order to speed up proceedings Not very surprisingly this worked and at the first sign of the strike the distributors granted the cent per hundred in crease raising the price of milk to per hundred- But by that time tempers were rising and the strikers have taken things into their own hands they want instead Wo do not need to tell you where our sympathies lie in this mat tor The great indus trial and automobile state of Michigan with its workers on the guaranteed annual wage and with the booming economy can well afford to pay mow for its bottled milk Nor are they tin only ones who could do so The farmers probably in decided that their own association is too weak and too hesitating and are Hying to en force demands only too reason able as we well know wilt be to watch and our association would do well to make note of it bow organized labor is going to react to It After alt there state in the Union where organisations and strikes as much to the well Mug consumers organized go the trucks milk drivers will Michigan If labor is willing so with ih if frko milk then a new en will have arrived for all producers en or i farmer will Know to what extremes the Michigan dairy farmers had to be to to start dumping- his own milk An industrial worker on strike stops It creates hardship and loss of income and is painful to an extent that a farmer J probably does not appreciate Rut a farmer on strike stop working- He has to go working feeding his cattle and milking and then destroying the of his and fort in order to enforce some thing he considers ri We are sure that today there would be no complaint from the consumer or labor if milk sold for cents a quart We think milk for the fluid market should sell for a hundred We are not going to get because the rest of the dairy industry is in a depressed state and because we have sold our right to raise for the butter subsidy It Is inevitable that we should in the interest of dairy industry as a whole ask some questions that could be soul searching Would we be better off to do away with the subsidy and sweat out the butter surplus and then go after a higher price for every body That may mean pool tm all the milk hi the whole province argument to that this will give smaller for fluid Have a look at your net return for the whole year and see what It really Is It just could be that we are fooling ourselves Chamberlain for a defender of communism af ter witnessing Stalin made Mind obedience to the thir ty Line was a suited to days when Party was on illegal conspiracy dictatorship was when the
