greater in terest to Canadians is thelcurrent drive by Canadian unions to bring Canadian workers wages into line with those paid intbe United States At recent United steel Workers conference it was agreed that Canadian workerswages shouldbe at least equal to those paid in corre sponding Ainsrlcan industries At first glance this 8081 may seem to have some validity it is common knowledge for instance that many things that Canadiansbuy are more ex pensive than the same product produced in the United States by the same or similar companiesn But little closer lookinto the situation will reveal that this would be dangerous sort of policy to pursue Our average real wages in Canada are lower than those in the United States because they have to be under our pre sent circumstances Certainly the money as distinguished from the real wages of Canada can be ralsedto any amount for above the American level but that will not benefit the average wage earn er in the least until he can use them to buy more goods And he cannot buy more goods until the goods are produced in Canada or borrowed from some other nationaswe are currently be substantial scale There is only ob muchpio to be out and if onegroup in society manages to grasp larger share some other group must takoiess Ly The amount of ggods and services available in Canada today is extremely high per capita by comparative figures ma throughout the world and is growing Our average standard of living is the second highmt ever known in history and with good management should con tinue to rise It is somewhat below that ofrthe United States however simply be cause our neighbors produce about 25 per cent more than we do per capita Moreover their productionis growing faster than oursat the moment The wonder is not that they produce more than we do but that we are able to produce almost as much For the United States possesses developed basic materials proportionately greater than ours or more efficient apparatus to pro cess them larger amount of machine power per capita market tenJAmes our size and henceall the economic benefits of mass production Untu our productive apparatus equals that of our neighbors in materials power effi ciency and economy our living standard cannot equal theirs and no change in money wages can alter the fact Opinions of Other Newspapers SOMEme BIASED Calgary Herald it is

Donald nltile of the English department at Faun Collegewas quoted by the New York Times News Service as having said in sec tional meeting of the annual conference of the National Commission onTeadler Education and Professional Standards being held at Lawrence ltanthat such move is under way Some educators Dr Tutlle said feel that Shaken speare has no place in the college literature pro gram They would start teaching with Ameri can llteralure and forget all the old stuff The objections to Shakespeare the professor said stems from thefacttliat he lived during mom archy and thus his writings reflect totalitar ian period But Dr Tuttle let us hasten to add is not one of those who would toss out Shakespeare whom he considers as probably the beat writer in thehisiory of the English language And he makes thepnint that if you toss out Shakespeare you might as Well toss out The Bible and other great works jofliberaturc Fortunately he movement isnt in predict ccnfidently it never will Some Ameneans are capable from ime to time of the greatest stupidity But it seems almostnmpcssible that anyone withsufficient intelligence and background to teach college literature classes could ever
