Circulation Average Per Issue 8 4 iH 1) 5 AUGUST, 1948 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1498 Only a Stop-gap ~~ The Dominion government has made contracts with Denmark, Australia and New Zealand for 15,600,000 pounds of butter, which is about equal to the shortage in domestic sypplies to meet the needs of the people over thre winter season. This is, in a sense the answer of authorities at Ottawa to the insistent demand for the sale of oleomar- _ garine in Canada. This purchase of butter, made at the expense of the severely-rationed supply of the British people, is at best only a stop-gap. It may tide Canada over the coming win- ter without an absolute butter famine, but it makes no provision whatever for the continued shortages which will crop up under present conditions in the butter industry. The situation which should be looked squarely in the face is that there will be no increase in butter production so long as it is more profitable for farmers to divert their milk into more remunerative channels, such as the fluid milk market. Price is the only incentive which will bring butter production up to the level necessary to meet dom- estic requirements. On the other hand, there would be considerable consumer resistance to further increases in the price of butter, which is regarded as an essential article of food. The government is thus caught on the horns of a dilemma. If it allows higher butter prices, consumers will be up in arms; if it refuses higher prices, the producers will not produce. It may be necessary to resort once again to the subsidy method to make Canada self-supporting in butter supplies, undesirable as subsidies may be in times of peace. The only alternative is to have an annual hunt for butter supplies to import from other countries, or to open the doors and markets to the sale of oleomargarine. The World Growing Better In these days of international crises and threats to the peace of the world, it is difficult to conceive any good reasons for believing that the world is growing better. Yet in one respect there is room for encouragment. Back in 1942, we remember spending an evening in-a deep air raid shelter in London, in which there was a sec- tion set aside for recreation. On this particular evening, a debate was in progress while the bombs were bursting outside, and the subject was "Resolved that the world is growing better." The affirmative side won the debate, the chief point in their argument being that the fact that the freedom-loving nations of the world were combining all their forces to beat the evil Hitlerism was a clear indica- tion that the world was growing better. Something of the same kind of reasoning may very well be applied to the present world situation. It is very evident that all of the nations except those under the di- rect control of Moscow are united in condemnation of the Russian threat to world peace and are showing signs of working in co-ordination in planning to meet that chal- lenge. Since such united action can be the surest way to preserve peace, maybe the world is still growing better. The Testing Time The present week might very well decide whether the United Nations organization is to continue as an effec- tive medium for the maintenance of world peace, or whe- ther it is to go the way of the League of Nations. The injection of the complicated Berlin dispute into its delib- -erations by Britain, the United States and France is put- ting the organization to a severe test, and one which may jeopardize its very existence. It is unfortunate that so grave an issue should have come before the United Nations organization so early in its career, before there has been an opportunity to lay sol- id foundations for the usefulness of this body in dealing with major intérnational disagreements. It would have been much better had this issue been settled by the nations immediately concerned, without recourse to an appeal to the United Nations Security Council. The great weakness of the organization, of course, lies in the power of veto which was given to the great na- tions which are its central core. That power can reduce the U.N.O. to a stath of helplessness in dealing in an effec- tive manner with any major dispute which threatens the peace of the world. The crux of the present situation is whether Russia can be persuaded by the force of world pinion to change its course of provocative action. If that ean be achieved, then the organization will have 0] major success. If Russia continues in her present | no attention to what transpires at Paris ting, then the usefulness of the United would become so minimized that it son left for existence, : 4 By HAROL» DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, Sept. 20--Now it can be told: ' Premier Maurice Duplessis told Donald Fleming that Quebec did not want to vote for Ontario's Col. Drew and could not vote for him. The interview took placé, I am told, in Quebec City where Du- plessis gave the mod to Fleming, 43-year-old Toronto lawyer, as Quebec's choice for a new leader of the Progresive Conservative party. Duplessis dismissed the '"guar- antees" 'that a certain bloc of Que- bec votes would be "delivered" to Drew. These guarantees were re- portedly made by Ivan Sabourin, the president of the Quebec P.C. party, who has made no effort to conceal that he is working for the Ontario Premier. : Too often, Duplessis told Fleming, the P.C. party leaned upon men "of no influence.' BALANCE OF POWER--In the three-cornered fight for the leader- ship Fleming seems to hold the bal- ance of power, and there are defi- nite indications now that after two or three ballots he will attempt to swing his followers behind Diefen- baker, When Fleming entered the leader- ship race the Ontario group was enraged. He has been a member of Parliament for only three years and therefore had "no right" to throw a monkey wrench in the con- vention machinery. The Ontario group has been supporting Drew and estimated they would lose heav- ily to Fleming, whereas Diefenbaker would not likely lose any votes at all. Fleming's announcement that he would run was timed to come im- mediately after Drew had com- mitted himself. STRANGE PERFORMANCE --A good deal of quiet amusement was caused in Ottawa by the announce- ment of a "Drew-for-leader" group in Quebec. One of the two men who formed the "committee" went around his own riding not so long ago and then told friends. that his party could not win with Drew as leader. ANGRY DENIAL -- Richard A. Bell, the national director of the PC. party, came into the press gallery the other day and indig- nantly denied that the convention which opens tomorrow was "pack- ed" for Drew or "rigged" in any way. Such stories said Mr. Bell in a tough voice, were "unadulterated bunk." One reporter elected to cross- examine Mr. Bell. Was Mr. Bell aware that more than half of On- tario's delegates-at-large were named from one city--Toronto? "preponderance." How were these delegates select- ed? By a committee, said Mr. Bell. Who was on the committee? Mr. Bell named hem, all members of the Ontario P.C. Association, all sup- porters of Col. Drew. Were the' delegates-at-large 'to represent the professions? Yes, said Mr. Bell. Could Mr. Bell name one representative of labor, agriculture or education among the 83 selected by the committee? No, Mr. Bell '| didn't have the list in front of him. And so it went. Mr. Bell had some good points and made them. All the riding delegates were ap- pointed by their ridings, he said. He distinctly said there was no Brack- en house clique working for Drew. No conspiracy anywhere, he said. Nonsense, he said. There would be only 1260 votes cast, he thought, instead of 1330 as first expected. There had been two deaths and some of the "Senators and ML.A's were old and a bit decrepit." ; Yes, Mr. Bell thought that was a- Eliza Had Nothing On Marianne | "Smith, in The Springfield Republican Looking Around The World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst The United Nations faces its greatest crisis today at Britain, the United States and France throw the bitter Berlin conflict into the lap of the Security Council, charging that the Red blockade is a threat to international peace. Indeed the situation is so grave that the three-year-old peace or- ganization is in danger of splitting, with the democracies and the So- viet bloc going separate ways. For- eign Secretary Bevin was voicing the thoughts of many statesmen when he warned the General As- sembly in Paris that the U.N. might fall apart. The Soviet press in Moscow also told the Russian public Monday that the two camps in the U.N. might got their separate ways, this despite the fact that Soviet delegate Vishinsky was quoted by a London paper as saying in an interview: "We shall not abandon the United Nations." Well, supposing the U.N. does split--what follows? Bevin answer- ed that in a horse-scene way by saying if it's impossible to work on a world-basis "we must proceed on a regional basis." That is, the Rus- sian bloc would have its own or- ganization and the democracies would have theirs. As a matter of cold fact there ne- ver has been a "United" Nations. The organization has been split wide open since the start, with the communists using it for purposes of obstruction and as a grand sound- ing-board for red propaganda. Thus actually the U.N. has been used by the communists as a weapon of ag- gression against the democracies. So if the Russians want to desert the U.N. there need be no tears shed, although there will be regrets that there couldn't be collaboration. But, says somebody, a split in the U.N. gets us further away from the ideal of "One World." I'm not so sure about that. We certainly are kidding ourselves if we thing we are going to get one world through try- ing to make democracy and com- munism mix, They .can't be made to mix under any circumstances. The reds keep on telling us that our economy and form of government must be des- troyed. Do they have to knock us down and drag us out before we re- cognize the situation?

(Guelph Mercury) Home is getting more and mere to be a place where young people run in hastily to. take meals, or change their clothes. Worldly con- siderations are getting more and more to dominate the home, and the atmosphere and tone of the home. Someone taking the phrase from the most popular amusement of the day, said that home is now only a filling station. CHRISTIANS AND COMMUNISM (Timmins Daily Press) Communism is a negation of Christianity--nothing more and nothing less. There may be profes- sing Christians who also voice al- legiance to the Communist party. But, either they are not really Christians at all or else they. are not thgroughgoing Communists. For Communism is materialism of the rankest sort. And between materialism and Christianity there can be no compromise or agree- ment. ® A Bible Thought Then said Jesus unto His discip- les, "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.".

' Canadian Distributors' London © etter By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Sept. 29--(CP)--A stone "Churchill arch" in the new House of Commons again demonstrates that the wartime Prime Minister can be engaged in bitter political controversy and yet be above poli- tics. Even the leftist members on gov- ernment benches who yell their dis- approval when Winston Churchill speaks have no complaint about the honors given freely to the man who led a united Britain in dangerous years. They might have complained that the new house, rising with pride on the site of the old destroyed by German bombs, should not be de- signed to honor any single man. When the foundation stone was laid Prime Minister Attlee and Churchill himself spoke of the chamber as symbolic of free Bri- tish institutions and the democratic rights shared by all. Now members of parliament en- tering the new chamber always will be reminded of Churchill. The arch, almost completed, has been built of battered and burned stones from the old chamber. Workmen at the new chamber believe standing beneath the én- trance archway which will bear his name was a favorite position of Churchill when the battle of Brit- ain was being fought and he would slip out of the chamber to read the latest reports of its progress. The new chamber probably will not be opened for use for two years but much work is being done to im- prove the Parliament Buildings. When the chamber is opened mem- bers will be able to reach minister- ial offices by a subterranean pas- sage dug within the last month. eo A Bit of Versee THE LITTLE DANCERS Lonely, save for a few faint stars, the SKy ; and lonely, below the little street Into its gloom retires, secluded and shy.

Sir Stafford Cripps has stated definitely the British pound won't be devalued at this time, and the report of the world monetary fund says economic troubles of many countries are "too fundamental" to be solved just by devaluing their money. A fund offieial, as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, points to. the case of France, which revalued her franc early this year in the hope of increasing her exports. ' Actually, her exports are bring- ing in no more dollars today than before the change. In part this has been due to the rapid inflation in France, which has wiped out much of the effect of devaluation." The fund's report said world re- covery plans may be ruined unless inflation-plagued countries in Eu. rope, Latin-America and Asia cut government spending and keep tax- es high in order to balance their budgets. It stressed greater pro- duction and hinted that wages and profits should be held in check un- less increases lead to greater pro- duction. And Sir Stafford, addressing a joint session of the fund and World Bank, said of foreign exchange: "Unless we can maintain a high degree of law and order in this vi- tal field, the great efforts that are being made by many countries to- ward world recovery will eb frus. trated@by the chaos and anarchy that will prevail in foreign ex- change."

New Angles Brought Out In Rail Rates By. JOHN LEBLANC °_ Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Sept. 20 -- (CP) -- An- other angle of the freight-rate issue was back in the lap of the govern- ment today. The cabinet had under considera-- tion an appeal of seven provinces all except Ontario and Quebec-- from last spring's 21-per-cent in- crease in freight tolls. As the government wound up a two-day hearing on the case late Tuesday, Acting Prime Minister St. Laurent said an effort would be made to get an early verdict on the $70,000,000-a-year issue. With the cabinet taking over that question, four g more freight-rate issues were off developing. They were: 3 1. A new application by the rail- ways for another increase in rates 'of 20 per cent, based on increased 1947 costs of labor and materials. In its brief Monday the 'Canadian Pacific Railway said the latest wage increase would cost that company alone some $27,000,000 a year. 2. An application before the Board of Transport Commissioners for re- moval of the "mountain differen- tial" freight rate on some hauls over the rockies. This rate is 25 per cent above the prairie scale, and British Columbia province is mak- ing the application to have it wiped off 3. A general investigation by. the board into the basic Canadian freight-rate structure, accompanied by government instructions to wipe out regional inequalities or "dis- criminations" in rates. 4. A royal commission investiga- tion into national transportation" announced by the Dominion govern- ment but not yet launched. This inquiry, whose functions will be limited to some extent by statute, Farquhar Oliver Calls For Sessiory To Discuss Power' Toronto, Sept. 29--(CP)--Liberal Leader Farquhar Oliver today asked the Ontario Government to call & pecial jon of the legislature té deal with the power shortage. ' In a statement, the Ontarid party chief said he was "deeply concerned" over the situation. "As the government has already admit- ted, it will be several years before the crisis can be overcome. We may even be at war within that time." Mr, Oliver urged the session be called immediately "to determine, beyond any shadow of a doubt, the responsibility for this shortage and the best measures to cope with its serious effects." He added: "At the present time the government is represented on the Hydro Electric Power Com- mission by the Hon. G. H. Challies (minister without portfolio). "Yet only a week ago Premier Drew an- nounced the appointment of an- other cabinet minister whose duties presumably are to investigate the actions of Mr. Challies and the pro gram of the commission as a whole. "During the election campaign, Mr. Drew announced negotiations with the State of New York, par- ticularly with regard to the power aspects of the St. Lawrence River. The ramifications of this proposed development are not known either to the elected members or the people generally. Surely this, in it- self, is an adequate reason for the calling of a session." : BUFFALO MEAT ROTTED In Buffalo Bill's time, there was no market for buffalo meat which was left to rot where it lay after the skins had been removed. province's will touch on freight rates generale ly, but the exact definition of its powers has not been outlined by the government.
