Vi A ~Duffy in The Baltimors Sun Milk Will Still Be Cheap Food (Ottawa Journal) Now that Canadians know defin- itely that commencing next Tues- day they are going to pay more for the milk delivered to their doorstep, many will ask: "Is it necessary?" The man who produces the milk, the dairy farmer, will no longer get his Dominion bonus of 65 cents and the consumer must now pay that amount plus a further increase to sompenste for higher production costs, whole matter of price has been turned over to the provineial boards who for weeks now have been hearing the claims of farmers for increases and the demands of consumer representatives that it will be injurious to the health of Canadians if milk consumption is reduced as a result of too high prices, There is something to be sald on both sides, Coming on top of the loss of the two cent a quart consumers' subsidy earlier this Summer, the further increase of three cents on October 1 is going to dent the housewife's budget, But it also means relief for the Dominion treasury as the major part of the increases which the con sumer will be called upon to pay formerly came out of taxes, Should the Increases actually re- sult in decreased consumption there will be real cause for worry, Cans ada's general standard of health has been on the upgrade, and milk consumption--we now use more per capita than the prope of any other country--has played an important art, Milk has become a standard ood in almost every Canadian home, Even at 15 cents a quart milk will remain one of the cheap ost foods which the housewife can purchase, At nearly three ounces for a cent, and considering all its food values, milk 1s still cheap food, Even as a beverage it Is cheaper than almost any other that can be purchased, the average bottle of "pop" for instance costing around an cent an ounce, In comparison with what the average UBS, housewife must. pay milk in Canada is a bar. gain, In the northern US, the 33- ounce quart (the Canadian quart 40 ounces) cost 17 to 22 cents, Now the controversy will be over the demand of producers and distri- buters in many provinces, including Ontario, for price advances in ex- cess of the subsidy, But labor and all costs are jumping up these days, and the costs of dalry farmers and milk distributors are no exception, If oxly an increase equivalent to the amount of the subsidy loss were allowed, about one and a half cents A quart, neither farmers nor dis tributors would get anything more than they do at present, UNANSWERABLE (Victota Colonist) Time being what it is and man's span of the approximate measure of 70 years, what is the urge which forces some people to press on the seconds at the "rush" hours of a city's traffic? Why is one second between 5 pm, and 6 pm, of any groater importance than the same measure of human time at any othe er hour of the day?

There are similarities in the circumstances ot the two centres, but there are also differences, ' The chief similarity lies in the fact that investors in both cities regard the international situation with misgivings, In New York this feeling is more alarmist than in London, This is due partly to the mor: 'forward part played by Mr, Byrnes in international conferences, part~ ly to the American public's feelin of uncertainty where Internationa relationships are concerned and partly to the rather more flamboy~ ant way {n which the United States Press has dealt with existing ten sions, For example, Mr, Drew Pear son, the columnist, has wildly pre dicted that the United States would be at war with Russia before the year was out, In this country, too, the unsatisfactory nature of rela- tions between the Powers is given due weight; but there is a better understanding of the relatively slow pace at which international events move and of the absence of any compelling reason for the out- break of a serious crisis, There are also important differ- ences, The change-over from war to peace production has gone through much more quickly in the United States than here, There are consequently more goods on which people can spend thelr money, Some observers therefore think that | Investors and speculators are with- drawing support from the stock and are putting thelr money into goods, In Britain such outlets are still scarce.
