Burnett and daughter, Canadians may never manage to to- tally abolish domestic squabbks, high golf scores, suggestive movies, too much, liquor, or the Lord’s Day Alliance. But we have our bright spots. We can pro- duce more than sufficient to feed and clothe ourselves, and with the surplus we can build better homes, have bet- ter sanitation, prolong our lives, have healthier.children, more pots and pans, more soap and water, and have fuller. and completer lives generally. It seems a pity, however, that faulty methods of distribution should make us actual- ly live in fear and dread of plenty and not scarcity, and that over-production of foodstuffs should be looked upon as an economic disaster. It seems a pity too, that we should dislike other na- tions because they will not take from us the fruits of our toil, and that we in turn, should refuse them when they desire to make the'fruits of their toil available to us. None of us can deny that it is to the general advantage of each nation to have all of its trade, as far as passible, carried on among its own citizens. But, as practically no nation is fully self-contained. an ex: change of commodities is not only de- sirable but necessary. But surely the experts could work out for this disâ€" traught old world some better method, than the artificial barriers called tar- iffs. for a rationalized exchange of these commodities. Rationalized Production Solution No. 9999 Economist coritradicts economist, financier contradicts financier, states- man contradicts statesman. We have economic, financial and political ex- periments of all kinds. We froth at the mouth, curse our luck, talk social- ism and “hot money,” but really noth- ing is done. Meantime, of course, old mother nature is at work. We reduce our wants. curtail our luxuries, pay or debts, and bye and bye the poor, dying patient finds himself on the road to recovery. And the party in power gets the credit. Under our present sys- tem of unrestricted competition there is a constant fight for markets, Then as soon as sales begin to fall, or the ma- chine increases production, we limit the number of men employed, and not the working hours. The system is vi- cious. It forces a circle of disaster. If we force unemployment we force un- der-consumption, the dole, and higher taxation. (By J. P. Whelan in Mail and Empire) Budgeted Production But rationalized or budgeted producâ€" tion, under coâ€"operation, would limit production to our needs, and limit the hours of labor to production needs. We would thereby eliminate over produc- tion and promote steady employment at good wages. These in turn would undoubtedly furnish the means for a general advancement in the standard of living. This advancement would in turn furnish new employment at good wages. Thus the circle is again com- plete, without its vicious features. If all the men in Canada can produce twice our requirements why should we only set half the men at work, for long hours, and let the balance remain idle? Why not divide the work and the lei- sure? If we replace unrestricted com- petition in industry with co-Operation why should wages ever be lower than that required for a reasonably high standard of living? How can wage earners be ensured steady employment at good wages? These are the prob- lems that the industrialist must solve in the next decade. If he cannot solve them the politician will very likely be forced to have a go at it, possibly under a labor or socialist government. Today we are greatly concerned because the gasoline stations are crowding the banks off the best corners, or. because we cannot find a place to park the car down town. Tomorrow we may realize that there is more unemploy- ment right now, in the face of our ap- parent prosperity, than there has been for a century. One Way Out of the Maze No nation should produce more than is required to give its own people a continuous advance in its standard of living, plus sufficient surplus to pay for the goods which it cannot produce itself. Thus Canadians would produce, mine or manufacture for Canadians every article that its resources would permit. They would then produce, from a select list of these, a surplus, for ex- port, such surplus being only sufficient to pay for lines that Canada was forced to import, such as anthracite, rubber, cotton, coffee, etc. Would this restrain trade? Not a particle on the average. Each nation thinks that it is the one nation that is smart enough to erect made barriers of sufficient strength to outwit every other nation. and thereby secure what is known as a favourable balance of trade. But none of them succeeds in hitting the for- eigner, not even the most self-contain- ed nations. They only smack them- selves. In the long run are there any trade balances anyway? Does any coun- THE DURHAM CHRONICLE gold? (I know there are gold ship; merits). Has even Britain ever col- lected her trade balances, or does she simply keep on pyramiding these as loans? After you solve these puzzles let us suppose that each country has an Export and Import Board and that this Board employs scientific methods in budgeting its exports and imports. Bouncing Imports and Exports It will follow that nothing is to pre- vent these nations from absolutely con- trolling each of these departments through a system of permits. And if exports and imports are controllable why may we not, by national agree- ments, balance these. Or why if they do not balance, may we not, through an international bank or clearing house, make a levy on nations with an export balance, payable to those with an import balance? Wouldn‘t this pro- tect home industry, do away largely with debt and credit balances, settle the exchange question, start a trade boom and raise the standard of living? try ever actually settle its accounts in The latter result would follow because the more we sold the foreigner the more we could buy, and only the ex- cessive exporter would have to pay the piper. The machine, instalment sell- ing, and various other agencies are blamed for unemployment. But you have to link these with over-ambition and avarice, to produce over-financing, over-expansion, long hours and over- production. The machine, and all man’s other' agencies, will become our servants when we use them for the general advantage. An idle machine and an idle man are both said to be uneconomic. Such nonsense! The ma- chine should work so that the man may have an abundance of the things he strives for, and an abundance of leisure so that he may enjoy them. T0 VANCOUVER AND BACK (Conunued from page 1.) about 325,000 pOpulation. Then north through Everett and Bellingham, through customs at Blaine. In all our dealing with customs ofiicers we found them to be very courteous. Called on a cousin at Cloverdale, Mrs. Charbineau, formerly Katie McCallum. Arrived at Ladner, B..,C June 26, where we visited with Messrs. Donald and Peter Morri- son, brothers of Mr. Morrison. Morrison Brothers live fourteen miles from Vancouver on the Delta, where the soil is exceptionally fertile. Here they go in mainly for dairying and poultry raising We visited some of the largest dairy farms. We were greatly impressed with flower gardens, espe- cially roses, which one has to see to appreciate. We went up to Vancouver, visited Messrs.

Henry, Mrs. Adam Watson, formerly of Durham; Mr. and Mrs. L. Gilchrist, Misses Mc- Phail, sisters of Mrs. Saunders, Dur- ham, and called on Dr. and Mrs. Arch. Hunter. From Vancouver we took the C.P.R. boat to Victoria, visited Mr. and Mrs. George Twamley. Mrs. Twamley came with us and showed us around the city. Victoria is a city of beautiful homeg. We also spent some time in Butchart garden. Before coming back to Ladner we called on Miss McDougall, Mrs. John Turnbull and daughter, Isabel; Mr. Thos. Binnie and daughter, Mrs. Mc- Lean, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Vasey, forni- erly of Dornoch, all in New Westminsâ€" ter, also took in the Farmers’ Market there. There was so much produce one would wonder just where it all came from. We came back to Ladner and called on Mr. and Mrs. Dowding. Mrs. Dowding was formerly Cassie Puter- borough. On July 1 we all had a picnic in Stanley Park, Vancouver. On that day the new Burrard bridge was offi- cially opened. It is the best lighted bridge on the continent. Mr. George Ledingham made and put in all light standards. Mr. Ledingham is a brother of Mr. James Ledingham,Durham. On July 15 we left Ladner, B.C., for the East, retraced our road to Bon- ner’s Ferry, Idaho, then north to Cres- ton, B..,C Yahk (here gasoline was 40¢ per gallon), Cranbrook, Crow’s Nest Pass, Fernle, McLeod, to Gull Lake. Sask., south to ’Instow and visited Mr. Neil McLean (brother of Miss Mc- Lean), then east to Mr. Malcolm Mc- Lean’s, another brother. Here the crops look good, but were much in need of rain. From here we went by Swift Current up to Biggar and east to Sas- katoon, where we visited Mr. and Mrs. Peter Campbell (a brother, of. Mrs. Morrison). While there we took in Next day we returned to Vancouver, went on the ferry to North Vancouver, to Capilano Canyon. We crossed over two suspension foot bridges; one was 450 feet. long and 200 feet high; the other was 200 feet long and 435 feet high. ingharn at Hawarden, Sash; went by Moose Jaw, and called on Mr. and Mrs Jos. Boyle. met Mr. and Mrs. Robt. ‘ Ledingham, of near Moose Jaw, Mr.‘ and Mrs. .Wrn. Ledlngham and family. of Brandon and Mrs. Walter Ledlnp; ham of Colgate, Sash. While at Moose. Jaw went east to Regina. At Moosomen , called on Mrs. Jopp, sister of Mrs. Wm} Ritchie, Durham and called at Rev. " and Mrs. John Bell’s, but sorry theyé were not at home.
