Can Sell in British Market If Prices Are Competitive We are hearing a great deal of talk about Canada having lost the British markets for certain agricultural products. This talk is bothering many people, be- causé the markets are still there. There is nothing to stop Canada from selling bacon to Britain at 31.5 cents a pound, the price Britain pays Denmark. The situation is the same with respect to but- ter, although Canada is not normally a butter-exporting country. It could be sold to Britain for 36.7 cents a pound, or she could sell all her surplus cheese to Britain at 21.3 cents a pound, which are the prices which that country pays to New Zealand. But the government's floor price on butter is 58.5 cents per pound and the price on cheese is 28.5 cents per pound, by government regulation. Britain would probably take all the beef Canada could produce if this country would take the same price as satisfies the Argentine producers, 16.6 cents per pound. Canada can get back into the British, market by selling her products at prices for which Britons are buying their food needs in other countries. That means one of two things, a slash in farm incomes or big government subsidies. The high wages and high prices econ= omy of this continent does not lend itself to trade with countries which can buy in the competitive markets at much lower prices. If Canadians are ready to accept anywhere from 25 to 76 per cent less for their products, they can sell to Britain. U.S. prices are supported by a govern- ment-regulated parity price, a parity based on the costs of goods farmers have "to buy. There are those who want such a system brought into operation in Can- ada. If it is, it would put Canadian prices on a footing with the United States, and if there are surpluses of which we have to dispose, it will be done by gift only, and charged up to all the people who pay | taxes, Former Civil Servant Candidates On June 15 -- his 77th birthday -- Dr. Arthur Beauchesne, for 23 years clerk of the house of commons, was nominated Progressive Conservative candidate for the present Liberal constituency of Ot tawa Bast. ; Retired some time ago from the civil service, of which he was a long-time member, Dr. Beauchesene is recognized as Canada's leading authority on parliamen- tary procedure and his books supplement those of the late Dr. J. G. Bourinot as standard authorities on the subject. With this background, and his personal popularity, Dr. Beauchesne will bring strength to the party he now espouses. His nomination, however, following so. elosely on that of J. W. Pickersgill, form- er clerk of the Privy Council, faises an interesting question. Pickersgill's nomination has been eriti- eized on the ground that the supposedly impartial civil service should not be made a stepping stone to a political career. Dr. Beauchesne's civil service career is undoubtedly his chief asset as a candi- date, and his outstanding qualification for a place in Canada's public lif.e There is the distinction, of course, that Dr. Beauchesne's candidacy follows an in- terval of retirement, but it is a distinction which is very fine. Frankly we think that any Canadian, providing his past activities have been of an honorable character, should be eligible to seek election to public office, for which hoth the men under discussion have high qualifications. The final decision as to whether it is proper for them to enter politics rests with the electors whom they aspire te represent in parliament. Though Dr. Beauchesne is in a slightly more fovorable position, his nomination will tend to take some of the edge off the criticisms of Mr. Pickersgill"s candidacy. Dr. Endicott Again On Tour Whatever else his presidency of the Canadian Peace Congress is doing for him i is at least giving Dr. Jameé Endicott a lot of travel and opportunity to see the world. Doubtless & is in comfort, too. The doctor, who was last heard of go- ing west from Port Arthur after a public address here in which he said nothing either exciting or treasonable or even eontroversial, is again in Hungary. Over there he is addressing the World Peace Council as a delegate among people "who may or may not feel that he is speak- ing for the mass of Canadian opinion. At any rate he is reported saying the som- _ munists are not conspiring to destroy the Western nations and their way of life. He holds the reds up as peaceful, law abiding people, and calls for a unity among Rus- gia, China, Britain and United States i the interests of world peace. 3 Editorial Notes The Rotary swimming pool is rendering a great service by making it possible for Oshawa children to learn to swim.

Unfortunately the news cables carry items which cause some misgivings. There is, for instance, reported rioting in : Czechoslovakia, a once peaceful and 'happy country which the communists grabbed overnight and in which, since that time, there have been quite a number of sudden deaths, some suicides and al- most innumerable attempts to escape.

Other Editors' Views THE MAKING OF CANADA (Halifax Ohronicle-Herald) The schools and the universities are the cru- cibjes in which is being compounded the future of the Cenadian nation. Put a youthful Canadian Scot and a youthful Canadian Dane in blue jeans and flapping tail shirt, let them sit at adjacent desks in the classroom, make double dates at dhe same corner drug store, let them play on the same basketball team--and where is the differ- ence? Their parents may be the fiercest of nation- alists, but the youngsters . , , are Canadians, bound in the uniformity of youth, acknowledging a com~ mon life because they know no other. I¥ Canada today is to grow and flourish, her people 'must be compounded of many nations, and the stronger for that; yet out of many, one.

QUEEN'S PARK Slackening Of U.S. Control Foreseen TORONTO-One outcome of the trucking strike may be a further step away from U.S. control of Canadian unions. International union officers from Detroit have been running the strike. As in any strike, many of their members aren't too happy about it. And their discontent could add fuel to an already well-burning fire. It's well known that there has been an increasingly-strong feeling in the ranks of labor against U.S. domination. Both for the amount from their union dues which is sent across the line and for the high- handed tactics used by some of the U.S. officials. There is considerable internal disagreement in the present strike, which is turning into one of great importance. It could crystallize and snowball. FROST FIRM Along with his other tasks Prem- fer Forst has had to handle most of the enforcement work on the strike, being acting attorney-Gen- eral in the absence of Hon. Dana Porter who is on vacation. The premier showed he could be an attorney-general of deter- mination when he sent out orders that road-blocks were not to be permitted. This was within a few hours of the first reports of such picketing. And it was the most determined action we can recall ever having been taken in this field. As we have commented at var- ious times in the past, despite his easy-going manner Mr. Forst can act very quickly, and drastically too, when. he feels circumstances warrant. U.S. CONTROL E Control of the strike by U.S. of- ficials, though it may not result Two Indian Children Drowned SARNIA (CP) -- Two ehildren were drowned Tuesday in the treacherous waters of the St. Clair river when their small raft upset. The children, both residents of the Sarnia Indian reserve, are: Fred James, 7, and Arlina Rogers, 9. The raft upset about 100 feet off shore after it had drifted down river. in anything* specific, is not looked on here with favor. This has been made clear at the Ontario Labor Relations Board in several instances where a number of certification applications have beensturned down because of var- ious aspects of U.S. domination. One of these, in fact, concerned the teamsters union. The Detroit local wanted to take windsor mem- bers under its wing. The board turned down the application be- cause it didn't have a Canadian office. LOOK ASKANCE Typical of just one of the prob- lems that can come out of control by officials in another country is that in the textile industry today. Alarmed at the increase im im- ports and dropping Canadian pro- 'duction workers in the industry are calling on the government for protection through quotas. If this plea is made by an official who is either from the US. or under the thumb of U.S. head- quarters one must look at it with a suspicious eye. And doubt the energy with which # will be pressed, for he will be asking for a protection which while helping Canadian members would be re- acting against U.S. members. Ten Million In AFL By Honest Counting WASHINGTON (AP)--The Am- erican Federation of Labor now is privately counting its strength at more than 10,000,000 rhembers, and expects to announce so officially in a few months. The AFL's claimed new mem- bership. figure, 10,600,000, repre- sents some modest actual gain in worker members. But mostly it reflects a drive to get AFL unions to give an accurate count of what members they already have. It's been an open secret in labor circles for many years that many AFL unions understate their mem- bership. This saves them money in paying per capita dues. Thus, while the AFL has been officially saying its membership is just of 8,000,000, the labor depart- ment directory of unions published a few weeks ago estimated the AFL actually had 9,500,000 mem- TS. The AFL itself took the bull by the horns this summer. At the AFL executive council's May meeting it was decided that hence- forth all unions would report regu- larly on actual membership and keep the figures up to date. Housewife Flipped Out Fish - SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. (CP) Commuters watched a five-foot sturgeon swimming lazily beside the dock here Monday night as they waited for the ferry across the St. Mary's river. » Suddenly a slim young housewife leaned over the ferry ramp and made a grab into the water. She got the fish by one gill. A man ill and helped r heave it up on the dock. "It looked much smaller in the water," said Mrs. M. Freeman of the 31-pounder. "If I had realized it was so large, I never would have touched it." In 1951 317,230,182 books eof matches were made in Canade. Considerable progress has: been made, it was reported, in getting AFL unions to do this. 80 much so that a top AFL leader told a reporter that the 10,000,000-mem- ber figure will be adopted officially either at the AFL convention at St. Louis in September or, anyway before the first of next year. Besides 'further dwarfing the CIO's 5,000,000 or fewer members, . the '"'honest-count" AFL member- ship will be more lucrative to the parent AFL. ' It gets four cents a member a month in per-capita dues. The ad- ditional 2,000,000 hitherto - unre- ported members will mean an added $1,000,000 a year revenue to the AFL. The CIO's monthly intake is 10 cents a member. Mr. Davies explained how the tide changed from time to time. During the war public relations were of prime importance, then after the war the tide was com- mercial. Consuls and diplomats strove to gain new markets for British produce, and so on. Now, with United Nations, and it's sister organizations working for peace in the world, public relations has again become the scheme of first consideration in order to fulfil destinies of free men.

Helped Ghost Celebrate Mass By BERTRAND THIBAULT Canadian Press Staff Writer QUEBEC (CP) -- Legends are growing up around some of Que- bec's 17th' and 18th eentury churches. Typical is one told by a former Quebec premier, P.J.0. Chauveau, in his book "Souvenirs et Legendes," published in 1877. The ghost of a Lotbiniere county parish priest returned every night at midnight for 100 years to cele- brate a mass he had neglected to celebrate during his lifetime. One night, the sacristan saw the apparition. Terrified, he reported the affair to his parish priest who informed his bishop. Returning from Quebec where had called on the bishop, the parish priest begged the sacristan to be in the church at midnight to assist the host in celebrating the mass. SSISTS GHOST That night, the sacristan locked himself in the chufch. On the stroke of midnight, he saw the ghostly priest aproaching the al- tar in liturgical robes. The trembling sacristan knelt beside the phantom priest and pro- nounced the responses to the mass. On completion of the ceremony, he walked to the sacristy followed by the priest. The ghost removed the mass vestments, bowed in grati- tude, and vanished forever. Another legend is connected with the construction of . Laurent parish church on the Island of Or- leans, near Quebec. The men working on the church, so goes the legend, complained that the task of transporting stones was too arduous. STRENGTH OF FOUR The builder promised the men a black horse of such strength that it could drag the load of four horses. The following day the builder showed up, leading the most beau- tiful horse ever seen on the island. He told the workers to work him mercilessly but not te remove the bridle. Wy Jouth was Placed in charge of the animal and work proceeded at a fast pace until the animal be- came thirsty. The youth removed the bridle to enable the horse to drink and it leaped into a ecveek where it became transformed into an eel and swam away. The legend goes on to say that the church was completed but the placing of one stone. church was demolished in 1884. Dame Mary Ann Scharlieb was the first woman to be graduated from London Upiversity as a dee- tor of medicine. Closing for Staff Holidays from Aug. Ist, 1953, to Aug. 10th, 1953 S. D. Burnett Co. Ltd.
