To the Editor of Tho Advance, Timmins, Ont. Dear Sir.â€"At last, aftor three weeks of intermittent debate, the amendment of the Social Credit party in the House has been voted upon. It is a lot of time to spend during a s:ssion on the disâ€" cussion of a vote of nonâ€"confidence in going into the Committee of Supply. 1 didn‘t want to be critical on the time taken by the members, but this is cerâ€" tainly overdone by the Social Credii group. They will scize every occasion to propaund .their theories and since the beginning of this session, nearly third of the time has been taken by that party. Now, after nearly three woeeks of discussion on that subject, and on the very same day after the above mentionsd vote was taken, they had to be brought to order by the Speaker, when in discussing the Naâ€" gcing too far, to my viewpoint, and if | they cArry on that way, they will soon lose a lot of sympathy which fimym-i been getlting. They secm to bolieve that the onlyI thing to do to settle all our problems is to just start the printing press working overtims:, im issuing new money andf thon everyone will be happy and will tave no nsed to worry any more. I will always be absolutely openâ€"minded in Gealing, with monetary reforms, and no doubt the prosent system is far from being porfect, and that we must, of ncâ€" cossity, reférm it sp as to face new but the process is nCl a simplis and it is certainly more complicated than mere uncontrolled inâ€" flation. If it was so simple, it would bave been put in practice long ago. There is an axiom, that you cannot got something for nothing, and the only wealth produced is through labour. â€"It is true that in our age we have proved that, due to human inventiveness and a bountiful nature, we could producq all the requirements of mankind. Toâ€" day it is not the problem of production, but that of distribution. _ When ore reads history, it is casy to realize that the ery of the poor has beon hcard throughout all the ages, and it has, until quite recently, been eranted that this poverty was, if not a ncorssity, at least it was onet of the inevitable human conditions, and that it naturally befell to be the lot of all human beings, and that it was to ecach of us individually to get over it or around it or make the best of it. The knowledge that poverty is not of neâ€" eossity a thing unavoidable but that it is a curable evil is of comparatively reâ€" cont growth, and that new situation may well be held hereafter to have been the most beneficial of all the changes of thought in the nincteenth century. I have not the time, at the moment, to propound the theory of poverty in the midst of plenty, but no one can doubt that. at our present stage of developâ€" mont, we can produce sufficient to give comf{ort to everyone, although one must always remember in such a discussion that hore too we must beware of rheâ€" torical statements. It is true that modâ€" ern machinery has a capacity for proâ€" duction, which, if wisely utilized, wili increar» wealth and diminish the toil of men and women; in this lies our chief hope of advancing civilizaiion, but I that the capacity of maâ€" chinery of raising the standard of life cver any wide area is probably much exaggorated. The solution of our probâ€" lems is not as simple as that, and somethinz more than a plethora of mass production is needed for that purâ€" nose. That brings me again to one of | Dominion Member for Riding Touches on Some of the Falâ€" lacies of Alberta Party. â€" Answers Some of Their Pet Theories Effectively. Reference to Effects of the Westâ€" ern Drought on Other Parts of Canada. tional Defence estimates, t propsunding their theories paose, the mass production is needed for that purâ€" pose. That brings me again to one of the first arguments that I raised at the besinning of this letter, that, even with that capaciy of production al its highâ€" est. the of the product would still raise moral and psycholoâ€" gical problems beyond the range of any present economic doctrine. And now to be rhetorical for a moment, let us supâ€" pos:, to take an extreme Ccage, that the product was sufficient at any given moâ€" ment to provide all the citizens of a country with a SOCIAL CREDIT, alâ€" lowing them to live, as propounded by their thearists, without the necessity THUKBDAY, APRIL 7TH, 1938 A.

To live this easy life, there is no doubt in my mind that machinery will run down and the comâ€" munity will rapidly come to the verge of distress and want. A body of peoâ€" ple sustains its life, not on accumulated wealth, but on perishable goods proâ€" dueccd month by month, week by week, day by day, and any cessation or reâ€" lenting of such activities in producing | these commoditiecs would bring it rapidly to a standstill. We must mailte tain, regardless of what the capacity ‘Ior production from the machine may be, the incentive and the possibility t work.This is the problem ‘that the preâ€" sent society is facing, and there is no mechanical solution to it, and in any case, it is almost certainly an illusion to suppose that there is any simple answer to the questions raised by the ’n(‘\x forms of industry. The solution Ewill not be found in any simple forâ€" mula, or thgories, whether individualâ€" t â€"sociatistâ€"or â€" toâ€" zo vast Iand variecd a field, as the satisfaction 'flnd supply of human wants is to evade any e[forts of thinking and not trying to go to the rooct of our difficulties. Everyone is familiar with the Social Credit movement in this country, based on the theories of Major Douglas of | Great Britain, which came into full force during the provincial clection of Alberta in the year 1935, where a Govâ€" ernmont was clected in the province with a large majority in the Alberta Legislature. The promises that were then made to the clectors of Alberta were: that if they elected a social credâ€" it government, that they would be civen basic dividends. that will greatly inecrease the purchasing power of every year 1935. l With such promises, one could casily visualize the tremendous force it had on the electors. It was the most terâ€" rific bribery that was ever made, to my viewpoint, and one for which pcoâ€" ple naturally fell. In taking oath of office, Mr. Aborhart asked for 18 montls to implement his promises. Now over two years have passed, and not one of his policies has been put into operation. Of course now he blames the ceontral Government if he is not successful, and following his arâ€" guments, if he had the responsibility of Government at Ottawa, I have no doubt that he could not fulfill his proâ€" | mises. He would then blame the situaâ€" tion on the international banking sysâ€" tem, so that, in not fulfilling his own promik»s, he will always blame anyone else but himself. This may go on for a certain length of time, but eventually there will be a day of reckoning. He did not fear such obstacles during his election campaign. On page 3 of his | Social Credit Manual, he had this to 11CrCSC AXNC DUVCildSilily jJJIWUCL VUL CYVRA Y individual, that the said dividends would not be less, but no doubt more, than $25 per month for every bona fide citizen. male or female, 21 years or Over,. That children of bona fide citizons, 16 ysears old, would receive $5 a month. Those 17 and 18 years old would receive $10 a month. I am quoting these figâ€" ures from the Social Credit Manual, pate 19, written by Mr. W. Aberhart, the present premier of Albeorta, and which was practically the gospel of his party, having been issued carly in the yvear 1935. sozial Credit, and the three simple fundamental principles are also casy to comprehend. With some the appliâ€" cation of these principles to the affairs of the province as a whole and to the various units within its boundaries does present numerous problems. and it is to the solution of these peculiar probâ€" lems that this pamphlet is directed. This is not a detailed plan containing exact specifications of every feature. Such a plan can only be prepared when the cperation of its establishment is about ready to begin and the facts and figures are all wellâ€"known. Our peoâ€" ter. A man may navye iil ililliU general outline of the character of ol;: must not be confused in this ma It is not very difficult for i to understand the philos ial Credit, and the thre« A man may have in mind the culit for nost pCoOâ€" the philosophy of ;. _ He ng his of his his to 4i1G¢ house he intends to build.

So it is wi Social Credit in berta. It is surely for Scotland, for example, will not do foor Alberta, The circumstances, the resources, and the people are so difâ€" ferent." He was then very definite and he had no fear of not being able to surmount any obstacles so as to apply his theâ€" crics. He is not feeling the same way rics now. The Social Credit group in the Hc contend that the banks can crk money just with the fountain pen, CnC,. . ANAV Y 74â€" i business for these new banks if that fallacy was true. \I belicve that it was the most piquant event of the past week in Parliament when the Minister of Finance, C. A. Dunning, offered to facilitate the setâ€" ting up of a social credit chartered bank to pcormit the exponents of the social credit theory to test out their principiles, that if they would conform to the statutes, he would assist in seâ€" curing for them a fedcral charter for o social credit bank. J. H. Blackmore, Social Credit leadâ€" cr. did not exactly jump at the offer as I thoucht he would, because he had led us to believe that chartered banks could create almost any amount of money just by the strokes of the pen, but he wanted somcthisnz still beyond that. My conclusion .n this matt‘er is that that party is trying to holler at the top of iis voics about everything eiss but its complete failure of even hacginnince +tn fullili the rpromisss that that. My conclusion «n that that party is tryi: the top of iis volecso at elss but its complete 4 begcinning to fulflill the elected it. The business recession that set in in the U.S.A. early last spring is now beâ€" ing felt in this country, although I beâ€" lieve nct so sharply. One often wonâ€" ders how much better our situation would be if the three western provinces hnad had good crops for the last two years. No doubt that, on account Oof the drought, the West is facing a setâ€" icus situation which has its detrimenâ€" tal effects on the rest of the country, and on this matter, I know that you will forgive me if I give you some figâ€" ures that are closely allied with that situation. saskatchewan and Alberta drought last year cost the Dominion Governâ€". ment a total of $27,390,000 and in adâ€"| dition the drought was responsible for‘ a loss around $6.000,000 to the CN:KR: in reduced freight revenues. f The $27,390,000 total covered the folâ€" | lowing items:â€"100 per cent. direct reâ€". lief costs and distribution of foodstulflfs in the officially â€" designated â€" drought: arca, $10,640,000; purchase and distriâ€" bution of feed and fodder for li\ estock, expenses for marketing calttle in the drought arcas, $14,750,000; additional temporary grant to Saskatchewan proâ€" vincial government to enable it to conâ€" tinue ecssential, services pending im â€" provement in crop conditions and reâ€" port of royal commission on Dominionâ€" provincial financial relations, $2,000,.000. Gross freight revenues of the C.N.R. from transportation of Western grain in the years 1925â€"34 inclusive averaged $22,000,000 pcr annum, the grain hanâ€" dled averazing 5,000,000 tons per annum durng that period. In 1935 the C.N.R. handled 3,720.944 tons of grain securâ€" ing $15,409,810 freight revenue. In 1936 it handled 3,915,6506 tons for $15,1777,102 revenue. But in 1937, the CN.R., duge to the drought, handled only 2,306,06506 tons for $9,643,072 revenue. The overall CN.R. deficit for 1937 ran to $42.345.867, compared with $43,â€" 303.393 for 1936. The net operating reyâ€" enu> for 1937 was $17,607,750, an inâ€" creaso of $2.474,951. Total operating revenues were $198,396,608. The railâ€" way paid $6.697,242 in taxes and $4,200,â€" 000 n Dominion sales tax on materials used. An increase of $9.,311,168 in opâ€" ciraving expenses was due mainly to $2,800,000 increased rates of pay to an average of 79471 employees for whom the total payroll was $117,804,769; and $3,500,000 increases in the prices of maâ€" terials.

This study was undertaken by memâ€" bers of three different departments, cach applying his own specialized knowl>dge of the common problem: Dr. C. M.

If a beam of Xâ€"rays Oof a single wave length is photographed, only a spct will be recorded on a_ film. If, nhowever, finely dicided or minute crysâ€" tals of a mincral are placed in the path of the beam, most of the rays will pass through without â€" deviation, but some of the rays will be diffracted. When photographed. these diffracted rays will produce on A film a pattern eccnsisting of a series of concsntric rings which depand upon the arrangement of the molecules within a crystal.
