Canada. 7 DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for AUGUST 9,702 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1949 On The Record The police of Oshawa and Bowmanville, with the assistance of the Provincial Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police of the district, are sponsoring a worth while event, to be held at the Ontario Training School for Boys at Bowmanville on September 24. This event is known as the Junior Police Games, and takes the form of an athletic meet for the school boys of East Whitby, Clarke, 'Darlington and Hope Townships. But it is more than merely an athletic meeting. It has definite objectives which are worth noting. These are given in the official notice as follows: (1) To promote understanding between the policeman and the youth of the community. (2) To foster and encourage good sports- manship among the youth of our community. (3) To encourage, promote and teach citizenship in the community. This event is a practical demonstration of the desire of the police forces to be of ser- vice in promoting the welfare of youth in a spirit of democracy. It can be a fective safeguard against juvenile delin- quency and the type of conduct' which is bringing young people of today into dis- 2epute in some of the larger cities. The police forces sponsoring this event are to be commended for the spirit behind it. Fur- thermore, it should be 'supported by the people of the communities included, by their attendance and encouragement. It should 'be fiade a co-operative effort in which | parents show their appreciation of the interest being taken in their boys by the police forces serving the district. October By-Elections It is rather unusual to have eight by- elections called all at once within four months of the date of a general election to the Parliament of Canada. Yet on October 24 eight constituencies in Canada will go to the polls to elect a new member. In two cases, death has removed the men elected on June 27. Four other members have been given appointments as judges; one has been. ap- pointed to the Senate, and the other has found a safe haven as the new clerk of the House of Commons. One questions the judgment of Prime Minister St. Laurent in naming six newly- | elected members of the House of Commons to positions of government appointment. If "he desired to recognize the talents and ser- vice of these men, it should have been done before the general election, so that by-elec- tions could have been avoided and other men elected in their places. Perhaps the Prime ~*Minister, however, wanted to take no chances on their six seats going to an opposition candidate in the general election. We feel that no harm would be done to any interest in these elections were all set- tled by acclamation. Nothing has happened since June 27 to justify or make possible any change in the results on October 24. There are no new issues, and the electors seem to have been quite settled in their opinions when last they voted. So nothing worthwhile would be gained by forcing a vote in these constituencies at considerable pense to the public. British Food Prices I The writer of a letter to a columnist in [Bhe Windsor Star poses a question which 'Teveals a lack of knowledge as to the true facts of the British food situation. The writer asks the question; "Are you aware that under Socialism in Britain the cost of living is lower than in Canada?" The answer to that statement is that it is quite correct. But the cost of living in Britain. . was much lower than in Canada under the National government headed by Winston Churchill. There was, and is, a very definite son for that situation. It is correct that a very ef- the housewives of Britain, when doing their shopping, pay less for the family food than do their counterparts in this country, But that is not the end of what the average family has to pay for that food. The rest of the cost is paid in taxes. During the war, the British government instituted the system of paying large sub- sidies on food, so as to keep down the cost to the consuming public. These subsidies were borne by the public treasury. The sub- sidy system is still being carried on by the Socialist government, and it is costing the country hundreds of millions of dollars a year, of the taxpayers' money. During the war and for some years after, the government of Canada also paid sub- sidies on many food products, in order to keep down the cost of living. Now, however, these subsidies have been discontinued, and the full price has to be paid by the house- wife when doing her shopping. Theré is no hidden cost which has to be paid through taxes. The comparison between Britain and Can- subsidies in Britain were entirely removed, there would be very little, if any difference, between food costs in the two countries, be- cause most of the prices are fixed on a world market basis, and no one country would have any apparent advantage over another, Editorial Notes This is Fair Week in Oshawa.

In fact there aré some who think, cars Jcan only be driven with thé horn. They mike day and night a bedlam wherever they. can gét away with it. Apparently the city of Regina is more par- ticular about the disturbers of the peace who horn in on everything. A man there was fined when the police charged him with tooting his auto horn at a pretty girl on the street. He had to pay a fine and costs for sounding his horn for "purposes other than to warn of the approach of a vehicle." That is a law utterly unknown to many locdl drivers and speeders. * * 0» WE COULD CATCH IT, TOO (Financial Post) Canada doesn't need to have a government calling itself Socialist to get a serious dose of the poisoning now hurting Britain. Here, too, notions of the welfaré state are rampant. Vote-hungry governments rush to meet every cry with promises id spend more which means tax more, Many union leaders foster -the "something for nothing" myth and impose policies which imperil and destroy the jobs of the men they.purport to serve. . While Canada's crisis in morale is still less serious than Britain's, we too are in a dangerous phase where there's too myth emphasis on ease and teo little on work; too much emphasis on mediocrity and too little on excellence. As The Economist once said, "The human donkey requires either a carrot in front or a stick behind to goad it into activity. . . . But the whole drift of British society for two generations past has been to whittle away both at the carrot (of incentive) and the stick (of harsh realities) until now very little of either is left." e A Bit of Verse eo STATELY MANSIONS Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll!

If the ] "A Study In Chain Reaction" --Bishap, in The St. Louis Star-Times Looking Around The World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associatéd Press News Analyst Ctechoslovakia's official, Com- munist néwspaper charges Marshal Tito, Yugoslavia's Red dictator, with plotting. to entice Russia's Eastern European satellites into an anti-Soviet alliance, Whether this be true, the fact remains that Tito's, defiance of Moscow's domination is being fol- lowed by conspiraciés and disturb~ ances among other. satellites. The Czechoslovak and Hungarian Com- munist governments claims 'to have uncovered plans for actual rebellion by force. 'The ferment also has shown itself elsewhere. Well, supposing disaffection among the satellites is growing-- as the évidéence indieates--what is its real significancé? How would the democratic world be affected if Tito did succeed in forming an anti-Russian bloc? Could the western nations work' satisfactorily with such a Tito bloe? Twe Parly Lines In seeking an answer to these vital questions' we must note first that Moscow and Yugeslavia are working under two différent types of Communism, The Russian brand is Bolshev- ism, which calls for world revolu- tion to bring all nations into' the Soviet bloc and' holds that 'the sovereignty of any Red nation 'Tests in Moscow. The Tito brand of Communism stands for abselute nationalism of the, state and thé retention ' of sovereignty. Whic brand of Communism would - the democracies find it easier to. get along with? One natrally weuld choose the Tito Communism as the lesser of two evils because it professes to honor the sanctity of national sovereignty. We know that democracy and 'bolshevism can't work side by side peacefully because that has been amply demonstrated. © How about democrpty and Tito-Communism? Harmeny Possible The answer to that it seems to me, must be that countries having different' political faiths can werk together--so long as they make no effort to interfere with one another. So on the basis of Tito's atti- tude of noh-interference, the demo- cracies could work with him, or with a bloc of countries holding the same beliefs. However, it would have to be complete non- interference. If Tito is indeed out to establish an anti-Soviet bloc among the Russian satellites, we may be wit- nessing the - break - which will hasten the end of the cold war and put a crimp in the Bolshevist world revolution, ' > IFAP FILM A documentary film entitled "56,000 for Breakfast has been pro- duced by the National Mim Board from footage taken at the Confer- ence of the International Federation of Agriculture .

Mayor Lucien Borne Monday or- dered 'city lawyers to appear before the board to see if the city has the legal right to intervene in the strike of :122 garage employees of the Quebec Railway, Light and Power Company, now in its fifth day. 'The mayor's action followed talks between the company and the union, the National Brotherhqod of Cath- olic Transportation Employees (C.C. C.L.) Monday with Mr. Borne act- ing as intermediary. It was reported that if the board's decision gives the city power to act, City Council will raise the number of stops autobuses of suburban companies can make In the city. This .would allow the companies to plan regular routes to help the city's 200,000 residents get to and from work more easily, 'The city's bus transportation sys- tem was interrupted after the gar- agemeén walked out last Friday for a 10 cents an hour wage raise. They now are getting 8 cents an hour for apprentices and $1.02 for ex- perienced mechanics. The company offers seven cents an hour increase compared with: five cents recom- mended by wn: 'federal arbitration board. The tie-up grew out of the strike when buses remained in the com- pany's garages.

It was put forward by Liam Gogan of Dublin's 'National Mu- seum. Gogan blamed the slow develop- ment of Irish literature on "the ne- getive influence of bureaucratic ling-blocks to' wider sales of Irish books was the import ban imposed against them by the United King- dom Board of Trade. Some Irish literateurs would like to see the republic set up a coun- ter-ban against English books which sold to the extent of £208,000 ($832,000) in Southern Ireland last year. They argue that they do not want to "censor" English ideas, but merely to use a trade boycott as af weapon to have Irish books admit- ted to the United Kingdom. One of the ways Ireland's govern- ment has sought to preserve and revive the Gaelic tongue has been to make knowledge of it necessary for passing senior civil service ex- aminations, The "Irish test" now has been droppe Instead, A, es of the lan- guage will be examined in tests which are merged with norma] ef- ficiency . tests.
