Just as regulation of wages is essential for the protection of the: honorable worker, so some limit must be set .on.prices to proâ€" itect the man in business. It is perfectly true that the public does not realize the rar-reaching ettects Of interference in business, â€"comâ€" merce. Perhaps this is the point that Dr. Putnam . was really seeking to emphasize. Those who were anxious for regimentation of wages apparently did mot see how action in this line must inevitably lead ‘to regulation of prices, to codes and similar paraâ€" _ Phernalla of the dictator. That, however, is the: fact. If life were as simple as the soapâ€"box orators gmd some of the pinkâ€"minded professors appear to peueve regimentation might take a: one-sided torm that would assure high wages to the worker and low prices for the public. These <two, ‘nowâ€" gever, do not travel together. It seems to be a provâ€" en fact that government regulation in one particuâ€" lar spheére is immediately followed by the necessity for interference in some other: place orâ€"places.:Un â€" der present conditions, it seems:impossible.to go hack to the days when a man could charge what he liked for his labour. Of course, that meant that his employer would pay as little ‘as the cirâ€" cumstances would permit. That was a freedom that seemed scarcely worth fighting for. Igmny event that uberty has been iven * f there went | Y s 9 e many years. Indeed, it is difficult to see how a considerable measure of reéegimentation can be avoided in this complicated age. If Dr. Putnam _ wished to avoid priceâ€" â€"~fixing, he should have startâ€" ed his revolt in the days when wageâ€"fixing comâ€" menced. If a man has the right to sell his proâ€" ductâ€"motor cars or haircutsâ€"at whatever price he wishes, as Dr. Putnam suggests, then surely he has equal right to work for any scale of wages he likes. "If Dr. Putnam considers twentyâ€"five cents a fair rate for a hair trim, some other enterprising individual may have equal grounds for believing that twentyâ€"five cents an hour is a fair rate for adjme sort.of labour" That is the trouble with all forms of regimentationâ€"one thing at once brings up another. If the wage scale for barbers is set, ‘then the price of the finished product fairly cries aloud to be adjusted. ‘Otherwise, there will be: peopleâ€"who are ready to sellâ€"haircuts for twentyâ€" _ five cents each, but it will be found that they give this service to the public at the of â€"the awages of theâ€"~workers."*The® ma:ster ,éfloer who continues to pay good wages and;still, glve bzrgafn prices ‘to his customers will soon be forced from business, if he has to compete with the class that â€"are ready to accept the business, ‘At_.any.old price, | The state of the public then is worse than before. «The priceâ€"cutters then have the pubnc by the hair, ~As it were. Is it unreasonable to fear that the barâ€" ber who will pinch his workers in the matter of wages will hesitate to squeeze thg putmc ettner in quality or price when he has the chance? The inâ€" ‘terference with the British right to buy a haircut at a trimmed price is a natural corollary to the in- terference with the other British _birthright to b"uy or sell labour at any price. This logic does not apply .to barbers. or barbhering hairéut+â€"prices; alone. The barbers are mentioned ‘because Dr. Putnam picked upon these industrious fellows, «who onthe whole giveâ€"excellent service and form useful part ‘in~modern life What: applieS“ to the barbers applies to all other lines 6f: life, ‘In view of the complexity of moder® ite Ung bum- _; ness, it does seem necessary that there should be| ,aome regulation of wages.

Putnam, of Ottawa, has Wwritten to The Ottawa Journal expressing the fear that liberty may perish from the face of the earth because barbers in the‘Capital City are compelled by law to charge no less than forty cents for what is techâ€" nically known as a haircut, or trim. Apparently, things have come to a pretty pass when the law steps in to tell a man in a British country how much he should charge for his seryicesâ€"such is the apparent attitude of Dr. Putnam. The Ottawa Journal is inclined to agree with the learned docâ€" tor. At least The Journal goes so far as to suggest that what Dr. Putnam says in his letter needed saying, so that the people in general might know to what depths of regimentation they are drifting. The truth is that Dr. Putnam has spoken much too late. Freedom from regimentation has been gone Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Sept. 1st,, 1939 ON BEING gre are also marked dirferences given fair warning that it will tightâ€" mt Lt. can> fighi;â€"-in a‘just cause, if there be no. honomable ...

France and _ To many the present situation resembles in most ;uncanny way the days that preceded the war that started in 1914. Some nations had been preparing for war in such extensive fashion before 1914 that war had to come to justify them. Other nations were so busy talking peace that they were utterly unprepared for war. A small and intrinsically unimportant nation gave the excuse for the preâ€" cipitation of a world war in 1914. Parallels to éhtthmggof 1914 may be drawn in this year of The old story about the boy who criedâ€"‘"Wolf! {Wolf!" and brought the villagers to defend their flocks when there was no wolf in sight may be relegated to the discard as the prime sample of false alarm. There have been so many alarms in recent years in regard to war in Europe that the public are liable to be so reminded of the boy and his "Wolf! Wolf!" that they .may actually forget the boy in theâ€"cry of ‘"War! War!‘"â€" Wereiit not for: this; there would be very serlous consideration given at the moment to the lat.est call that war. is at ‘the door.‘‘ It would appear that the present1 iCzecho.slovakian situation offers the greatesst _danger of war that has happened in Europe since the last world war accepted armistice. : Hopeful people persuade themselves that this latest alarm, will prove no more material than the scores of other crises that have passed . The tumple. in prices on the stock exchange this weex proved that all in the country are not so optimistic Move- ments of the British and French armies and fleets suggest that while hoping for the best they are preparing for the worst. Many are unable to for- get the last part of the "Wolf! Wolf!" story It will be remembered that eventually the wolf did comeâ€"and the boy who had raised the false cry so often perished because he was unprepared. ‘| In one issue of a Toronto newspaper this week |there were a number of headings about "the | North."" Timmins is supposed to be in the Northâ€" | to be the very heart of the North, if such a thing | may be said with modesty. Yet the headings about | the North referred to places far from Timminsâ€" |names not at all familiar here. There was one | headline about the death of a man from the North. The North, in this particularâ€" case, proved to be Chapleau. It is two days‘ travel from Timmins to Chapleau in these days of fast trains and motor carsâ€"except by the airship route. Another headâ€" ing referred to some new settlers for the‘ North. This time the North meant the Abitibi country, nearly as far east as Chapleau is west. Still anâ€" other heading about the North proved to be about Sudbury. Yet the average citizen in Timmins is probably as well acquainted with Toronto, or Montreal, or Maniwaki, or Calabogie, as with Sudâ€" bury. In yet another heading the North meant Sioux Lookout. Again it was Hearst. Then once more it was Moosonee, famous again for the moâ€"« ment because the duck Season is not far away. Only a few in Timmins have occasion to visit these places. Of course, Sault Ste. Marie is always in the headlines, and always classed as the North. At the same time Timmins would never have even known there was such a place as Sault Ste. Marie were it not for the wolves and the fish stories and the fact that quite a few people are smart enough Ffi.‘ha\te}come from the Sault to the Northâ€"meanâ€" ing. Timmins. To follow the other references to the Northâ€"the ones that mean places like Yellowâ€" knife and the Yukon and the Peace Riverâ€"would be to take in too much territory These places are just in Northern Canada. But confinmg the case to the Northâ€"the real Northâ€"â€"this Northâ€" it is astonishing the extent of the territory commonly called the North. People in Southern Ontario might well be reminded that the North is four| times the size of all the rest of Ontario. From North Bay to James Bay, from North Bay to Sault Ste. Marie, from Sault Ste. Marie to Hudson ‘Bay | â€"within that immense territory there is a wealth of potential riches of mine, forest and stream, as |. well as material for headlines. i question. If any man has any inalienable right to sell at any price he wishes, he has M equal right to buy at.Any figure he cares to pay. Having given up the one liberty, the other freedom must be allowed to depart, Dr. Putnam‘s letter, lhcwrever will â€" hnave accompmhed somethlnc worth while if it will rouse the public to the fact that people these days appur to be handing over one right after another for upparently less price than charged by cutâ€"rate barbers. It is true that regimentation breeds more and more regimentaâ€" tion but this is all the more reason why each step should be carefully considered and all its possiâ€" bilities reviewed. For instance, at the present moment the idea of having the Dominion Governâ€" ment pay for all relief is meeting popular favour. It seems the better way, and yet it implies a handâ€" ingâ€"over to the central government of still further power and privilege, because nothing can be o:reâ€" sided for any measurable length of time. n'n‘ phmz There is also the notable difference HOW BIG IS THE NORTH?

The veiled threat that those who seek war may find more war than they desire should also have a salutary effect.
