DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for OCTOBER 11,345 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1951 Everybody Should Vote The Ontario Provincial election campaign is in its last stages. Tomorrow, the final speeches will be made, the final propaganda blasts will be issued. On Thursday, the elec- tors of Ontario will go to the polls to elect their new government. In their hands rests the decision as to which party will form that government. The election campaign has not been a par- ticularly intense one. Such issues as have been drummed up by party leaders have not been particularly impressive. In fact, the campaign has been remarkably devoid of any issues which would tend to arouse the popu- lace of the province to heights of enthusi- asm--or of denunciation. There has been some bitter newspaper campaigning in the capital city of the province, but outside of Toronto it has not had any great effect, other than to disgust many people with the manner in which the campaign was being conducted. It may be that, because of the lack of any specific 'issues of importance the vote will not be of as large proportions as it should be. Many people may stay at home, thinking their votes do not matter. That is an entirely: mistaken attitude, because it is the duty of every citizen who prizes our democratic way of life to exercise hi§ or her franchise on Thursday. So far as Ontario Riding is concerned, the campaign has been conducted quietly. There has been an absence of wildly enthusiastic rallies. Here there are four candidates in the field. Three of them have strong organiza- tions which should help to get out the vote, and it can be expected that the voting in Oshawa will be heavy. It ig to be hoped that it will be equally representative elsewhere in the riding. h On Thursday, there is a clear duty before every person whose name is on the election list, and that is to get out énd vote. Only in this way can there be a true expression of the will of the people. Only in this way can our citizens discharge their obligations as citizens, and take their proper part in the direction of representative government in Ontario. Let all our electors fully realize this responsibility, and go to the polls on Thurs- day, regardless of how they may wish to vote. Resources Compared A timely brochure, setting forth the re- sources of the democratic and Communist worlds, has been distributed as a publi¢ ser- vice by McKim Advertising, Limited. The material it presents is prefaced by a state- ment taken from a publication of the United States Office of Public Affairs, reading as follows: "Strength depends upon the spirit and will of the peoples. It depends upon manpower, pro- ductive capacity, raw materials. In the struggle between the free world and the world of the Kremlin, the effective strength each side can muster may make the difference between peace and war, ; . . The brochure shows that the democratic world has a trémendous preponderance over the Communist world in material resources and in productive capacity that would be es- sential in time of war. In manpower, the Communist world can number a population »more than double that of the free world. But manpower alone is not sufficient. History has repeatedly told that story. Behind man- power there must be raw materials and in- dustrial potential to keep armed forces sup- plied with the sinews of war. Here are a few of the striking figures in this respeet: Communist World Steel production 34 million tons Coal production 201 million tons Electric energy 125 billion KWH Oil production 871,800 barrels Refining capacity 880,518 barrels Free World 161 million tons 1089 million tons 624 billion KWH 9,262,800 barrels 10,613,000 barrels These figures may be part of the reason | why the cold war hetween the Communist world and the free world has not reached ihe shookng stags: In the event of wai, overwhelming strength of the free democ- racies in resources and industrial productive capacity would be sufficient to offset the advantage in manpower on the side of the Communsits. The Red leaders in the Krem- lin are well aware of this. Perhaps that is why they are continually making efforts, by infiltration into trade unions and into in- dustry in the free countries, to disrupt the industrial potential which is the key to the power of the democratic world. Sufficient Food Lacking At a meeting of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, held in Rome, Italy, it was reported that 60 per cent of the people of the world have insufficient nutrition, and that food supplies per person have dropped four per cent below the 1939 pre-war level, To people living in Canada, where there js food in abundance, and large At. vie | surpluses of some commodities available for export, this report seems nothing short of amazing. Yet it indicates the truth of the statement that one half the world does not know how the other half lives. The food report presented at the Rome meeting made the following statement: "Agricultural production of prineipal food crops in all countries in 1950-1951 was nine per cent above prewar. However, since 1036, the world population has increased by 18 per cent. There- fore supplies per capita in 1950-1051 were still four per cent below prewar levels which were themselves insufficient. Nutritional levels are still very far from satisfactory in vast regions of the World, such as the Far Bast, Near East and Africa, containing three-fifths of the world's people. While total food output in 1051-1062 is expected to expand, the prospect for supplies in many deficit areas shows no improvement." The plain fact of the matter is that the world's productive capacity for food, based on the areas now available for cultivation, is not increasing at anything like the same rate as the world's population. This being the case, it is a foregone conclusion that a large part of the total world population will continue to go hungry until such time as there is a vast increase in food production. Hopes for such an increase are not very bright, as there are no large areas of arable land left untilled anywhere in the world. Population figures keep on rising, with no corresponding food resources available to feed the additional people. It is not a bright prospect for the hungry have-nots, It seems as if the only hope for the future is to make all the world's produc- ing acres produce more intensively, particu- larly in the major food-producing countries of North and South-America. There alone is their hope for greater food supplies, and the next problem will be to ensure its dis- tribution to those who have insufficient. Truly that is a problem to tax all the skill and resources of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Partisan Press And The Public Interest (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) J. V. McAree, a columnist with privilege of space on the editorial page of the Toronto Globe and Mail, has been scolding a section of the Ontario press, more espec- ially provincial dailies, over the character of their editorial pages. He holds they should be more vig- | orous in expression of their poli- tical preferments and seems to think that, in doinng so, would become more interesting. If Mr, McAree has entered on a crusade to brighten the editorial pages of Ontario newspapers, it must be admitted he has chosen a convenient field. He will not have to stray far from his own office doors, for certainly there are none such more drab nor dull than that of said Globe and Mail. That newspaper's appeal to the reading public is in the excellence of its news columns, Theat may be found the lesson which the provin- cial dailies are using to their own and their readers' advantage. For after all, it is the primary pur- pose of a newspaper to inform the people, rather than to. instruct them. It is reasonable to presume the people of Ontario are intelligent and capable enough to form their own opinions and make their 6wn decisions in matters political if they are supplied by their news- papers with accurate and properly proportioned information. This seems to be the assumption of most of the provincial dailies, contrast- ed, however, with that of the To- ronto papers which deem it neces- sary at election times to present the people with slates containing the names of the candidates for { whom they should vote. It is an | insult to the people's intelligence | and ability to do their own think- ling. | Furthermore, there is no reason |to believe that active partisanship lon the part of a newspaper serves any useful purpose at any without looking outside Toronto. One newspaper of that city only a few days ago carried 16 columns of so-called political information, much of .it biased and In large proportion favorable to a parti- cular party.

November 11 is the day, and surely church services could have been delayed for 15 minutes or so. We might add that we were represent two full pages or, with advertising, about four pages. Yet it is also said of that same news. paper that, with the largest cir- culation it has the least influ- ence. In fact, the brahd of parti- sanship in which it Indulges fis sometimes regarded by the favor- ed candidate as the Kiss of Death. It would appear that readers consider the partisan political page to be in the same category as the comic page, something to be amus- ed and entertained by but not in- fluenced by. If, therefore, a section of the provincial press has decided that the principal function of a news- paper is to carry accurate, depend- able news, letting the readers ex- ercise their own good judgment, it may be performing the mucA more valuable service. As for making editorial pages bright and interest- ing without indulging in partisan. ship, that can be done too. There are many outstanding examples in | the secondary cities of the Prov. | ince. Troop's Welfare Comes Under Opposition Fire In House of Commons By G.G. YATES > Special Correspondent Ottawa -- While the announced increase in war veterans' pensions highlighted last week in parlia- ment, criticism of welfare condi- tions for Canadian troops fighting in Korea stole much of the lime- light. ' For two afternoons, Thursday and Friday, National Defence spokes- men had their backs pinned to the wall as critics from all opposition parties cut loose. Defence Minis- ter Claxton spent an embarrass- {hg Thursday afternoon. Friday he was out of town and apparently out on a limb, while his parlia- mentary assistant, Ralph Campney attempted to parry the renewed barrage of criticism. All he could do was echo his chief's replies to avoid embarrassing Mr. Claxton further. Meanwhile the Canadian Wel- fare Council's recently-formed com- mittee on welfare and defence is preparing to give military welfare conditions a thorough review when it meets in Montreal next Friday. Almost completed also, is a esur- vey on welfare and social service needs of Canada's armed forces based on experiences during World War Two. This sutvey has been made by the Toronto University School of Social Service Work at the request of Defence Research Board, a major branch of the Na- tional Defence Department. Started in July, 1950, the survey is expected to be completed and Presemed to Defence : Research rd before the end of Novem- ber. Its undettaking reveals the major importance which DRB of- ficials place upon the welfare and entertainment of Canadian mem- bers of all three services - both as a morale builder for those in the service and for their families and in the resultant impact upon the general public. The feeling is general that des- pite Defence Minister Claxton's assurances, enough is not yet being done for the welfare and social service of Canadian serving person- nel and their families. Among the civilian welfare and social service agencies there is some apprehension that Natiohal Defence officials plan to operate welfare and social service for the troops entirely through military service personnel, insteading of en- listing the aid of various civiliah agencies as formerly. Belief in this attitude was revea- led in the two day attack on the government led by Captain How- ard Green, Progressive Con- servative member for Vancouver- Quadra. They pressed the Defence Minister on the lack of welfare and recreation services in Korea result- ing from the absence of represent- atives of such agencies as the Le- gion, the YMCA, the Salvation id and the Knights of Colum- us. Mr. Claxton's reply, which he kept reiterating, was that none of these agencies were operating in Korea for troops of any other coun- tries. Confronted 'with a picture in the Globe and Mail, which showed a British Salvation Army officer, with -his jeep, from which he was supposed to be serving hot tea to the troops, Mr. Claxton stated U.K. officials were being queried on this point. Friday afternoon, Mr. Clax- (ton's assistant, Mr. Campney told Ithe House that British authorities in London advise there are no Sal- vation Army welfare services op- erating in Korea under United Kin- dom auspices. Further apprehension that Na- tional Defence Department plans to exclude welfare services of civilian organizations comes from the Can- adian Council of Churches, which decided at its meeting in Montreal Friday, to investigate current wel- fare and social services for Cana- dian troops in Korea, Europe and Canada. If these services are found inadequate then representa- |tions will be made to the Canadian | Government to have this situation | corrected. 2 The council's * ¢haplaincy com- Titties will carry out the investiga- on. Under this barrage of criticism and probes under way and pending, Mr. Claxton has promised to make a personal sutvey in Korea at the earliest possible date. VETS' PENSIONS HIKED Ottawa (CP) -- Veterans Min- ister Lapointe said today in the Commons that the increases an- nounced Friday in pensions to dis- abled war veterans do not appl to pensions paid dependent paren of veterans.
