Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 7 : 6 3 5 JUNE, 1947 THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1947 Immigration Dominion's Job It will become increasingly evident as time goes by that immigration and its attendant difficulties should be handled by one authority in the Dominion. Obviously that authority should be the government at Ottawa, regardless of the party in power. Premier Drew's action in bringing 7,000 persons to Ontario from the United Kingdom can do little to increase the mutual understanding that is so sadly lacking between the province and Ottawa at the present time. Admittedly the 7,000 persons who are to come to Ontario are of British stock and we agree that it is a good thing that efforts are being made to bolster the nation with a people in whom democratic principles run deep. Be that as it may, there seems little use in Ottawa and Ontario working at cross purposes. Ottawa has planned a future for the new Canadians it is bringing. Ontario does not pledge homes nor employment to the 7,000 soon to arrive. Under sych conditions Premier Drew's actions can be considered little other than irresponsible and there is no surmising what the eventual outcome may be. Further, if each province took into its head to sponsor the entry of thousands of new Canadians and took its group from one particular nation or section of Europe, this coun- try would rapidly split into little Italys, little Hungarys, or little whatever nations may be involved. Under the Ottawa plan immigrants are distributed throughout the country and there is every likelihood that the persons coming here will more easily adapt themselves to the Canadian way of life. Under localized scheme there will be concentrations of immi- grants living mainly by themselves and clinging to their 0ld World thoughts and customs. Unity is by no means achieved in Canada and such plans as Ontario is putting in operation will not help to weld that unity. Eire Signs Care Agreement It is now possible for Canadians to send CARE food and clothing textile packages to Eire. The agreement with CARE (Co-operative for American Remittances to Europe, Inc.) was signed by Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister, Sean F. Lemas, in Dublin earlier this month. Ireland is the fifteenth country to sign the CARE agree- ment, permitting Canadians to send these non-profit food - and textile packages as gifts to friends and relatives abroad. The packages are delivered duty and ration free in all countries. They can be ordered by sending $10 to (Canadi- an) CARE, Ottawa. It has also been announced that the CARE service to #ingland, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland has been extended. It is now possible to send CARE's textile pack- ages -- a blanket, a woollen and a cotton package -- to designated individuals and groups in the United Kingdom. Previously only the CARE food package could be sent to addressees there. Just returned from a survey of CARE operations in several countries abroad, P, C. French, CARE director, re- ported that a new method of shipping and delivering CARE packages abroad was being worked out. "We have high hopes that this new system, when it is put into effect, will save valuable time in getting these much-needed packages to their ultimate destination -- the tired and hungry people of Europe," he said. : East to West OGDEN'S Rolls Best : SAID YOu [ poLL EM BETR cp wiTH O6DEN's "PIPE SMOKERS! ASK FOR OGDEN'S CUT PLUG." By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, July 17--The 5th Column is marching again, recruiting its battalions . . . And our experts tell us the sickening truth--that ten to twenty years from now we face an- other war. A happy outlook. It means the children now playing in the streets in the sunny evenings will be in uniform, bearing arms. " The 5th Column poses as an in. nocent political party. Some of them were preparing to sell and were selling in the midst of this most recent war--what are they planning to do in the next? Or before the next one starts. They'll be very strong then, far stronger than the 5th Column that helped to bring about the destruction of France. This innocent political party cries out self-righteously and self-pite- ously that anyone who opposes them is (1) a Red-baiter; (2) a Fascist. Yet they receive and obey orders directly from a foreign power, on occasions; and day in and day out, in perpetual motion, they follow the party-line laid down by the same foreign power, Nothing Canada can do is any good at all; anything their foreign masters dictate is heaven-sent. What will they do in the next war? What any 5th Column does-- sabotage behind the lines; stab their fellow-Canadians in the back. They're being trained for it politi- cally now; not long hence they'll probably get training for the more direct action. 7 Under our peculiar. political democracy we permit a political party to recruit for treason. And permit them to publish their daily Propaganda sheet to spread their treason. Since the spy expose (which was a resounding flop) the treasury of the 5th is.swollen with new riches and its membership has strength. ened. In another war our government will recruit an army for national safety; but in all the years leading up to that war the innocent political party will have recruited and train- ed an army of terrorists, probably just as strong in thousands as the Canadian army. LE BR Nerves Gave Out The long session of Parliament (52 months) took its toll. One member who was in hospital several time during the last few weeks has now booked in for a solid month in Ottawa, before he goes home . . . others said they'd crack up if they had to stay another month. No names supplied, even on request. Little Chi Sends a Gift When William Irvine (CCF-Cari- boo) came into The House without a tie one day last week, the Little Chicago group of Liberals sent him one. It was scarlet. Bill wore it, then sent the following note, in French, acress the aisle: / "To all interested: I thank you for the magnificent cravat I have just received. Tomorrow I will come into the Chamber without a shirt, hoping to get a new 'one. If this succeeds I will continue to undress until I get a complete new outfit."

He Time for Decision By GEORGE W. JAMES The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Ont. ARTICLE NO. 12 Previous articles in this series have outlined the food agreements entered into between the Canadian government and the British gov- ernment and the two main controls set up over Canadian farmers to give effect to the whole scheme. It has been shown that Canadian pro- ducers have lost all freedom over their saleable surplus and at the same time are losing a huge sum through these deals. PRESENT DISPARITY A comparison has been made be- tween the US.A. farmer and the Canadian farmer to give further emphasis to the present disparity in their sales: and purchases. Now it remains to examine the positions taken by several parties in the House and outside in regard to these agreements and controls. Main interest will centre about the stand taken by the government and the official opposition. FEDERATION CONSULTED The position of the government of course is set forth in its legisla- tion. The Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Trade and Com- merce arranged the agreements with the British Minister of Food, Mr, Strachey. They did not consult the Canadian parliament but made quite a point in claiming to have consulted the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the leaders of which favored the deal on the ground that it offered hope of future stability. ADVICE DECLINED But this government argument was greatly weakened when it was shown that the advice of the Fed- eration was declined in. other par- ticulars.. The government denied the Federation's appeal against a rise in feed wheat from $8.00 to $11.00 a ton; refused their plan for a barley subsidy; refused their plea to pay participation in last year's crop; declined their request for token shipments of beef cattle to the U.S.A.; would not listen to their plan for a National Farm Pro- ducts Act, FUTURE TRADE These points will be kept in mind by the average farmer who will have to make up his own mind be- fore voting in the next election. But the broad question is this: How shall we come out in the end after attempting to filfill these arbitrar- ily arranged, by-lateral British agreements? Selling food to Britain much below world prices we are forcing other sorely pressed peoples to buy elsewhere at a high world price. Can we expect their future trade when the day comes that we try to get it? BRITISH POLICY The position of the British gov- ernment was clearly stated by the socialist Minister of Food, Mr. Stra- chey, who said: We buy food at the lowest prices we can get in the world; if not, parliament would censure us; and bulk contracts are the best method of getting low pri- ces." Hence he was consistent in buying bulk Canadian wheat at $1.55 per bus. with the world price |} more than a dollar higher. goes alone, dons red trunks, and swims with a strong sidestroke. A dip for the Minister' of Justice means a wide swing to the far side, then back to sit pensively on a towel for a few minutes, then to the other side again. One Sunday he made it four times.

HOUSEHOLD FINANCE obproraleor of Canada OUTSIDE MARKETS Reading 'this statement of British policy clearly gives the key to what may be expected by Canadian pro- ducers when more nornial times re- turn. There is no question that Bri- tain wil} adhere to her present agreement, But the future, the search for wider markets, is the problem of real concern to the Can- adian farmer. It comes right down, therefore, to the question of whe- ther the present policy of the gov- ernment is wise in the lone run. BRACKEN VIEW Speaking in the House on the Brisish agreements Hon, = John Bracken, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, said: (P. 591 Hansard) "Let there be no misun- derstanding with respect to our at- titude on this measure. The govern- ment of Canada has made an agree- ment with another nation. That agreement we have either to res- pepct or dishonor. As one public man I propose to respect the agree- ment we enter into with other na- tions." PARITY PRICES But he went on to examine the implications in the deal and to re- capitulate the farm policies that he announced when chosen leader of his party. These rolicies set forth a fair deal for agriculture, which meant parity prices for farmers and he showed clearly that the price arranged under the British deal net- ted farmers less than parity and he demanded not only parity but pay- ment of participation each year un- der the contract. PRODUCTION FALLING Dealing with the position of agri- culture in his address on the Speech From The Throne, Mr. Bracken de- clared that the various boards and . controls set up over Canadian farm- ers had so regimented them that he had constantly warned they would lead to decline in production all along the line, What he said has a direct bearing on future world trade and will be told in a follow- ing article, Difficult "Why do these lighting regula- tions worry you so much?"
