Pearce, editor of the Simese Reformer). Canada has declared warâ€"this time on the home front! It is war against an enemy as ruthâ€" less and implacable as Hitler. The resulting combat will be felt in every city, town and village in the Dominion, in every township and back soncessilon in the most remoté of the country. + Another army is on the marchâ€"this time an army of twelve million Canaâ€" diansâ€"on the march against a foe that would wreck Canada‘s economy and deal her contribution to Empire deâ€" fence a blow as deadly as a major deâ€" feat by the Nazis. ~ The war is declared, as of December 1, 1941, against spiralling prices, against the haunting spectre of inflation. Cause of the war is too much money in consumers‘ hands for the available supply of goods. Weapons For New War Weapons in this gigantic struggle will not be guns, planes, tanks and bombs. They will consist of vigilance, selfâ€" abnegation, compromise and the Goldâ€" en Rule. We have just come from General Headquarters where we heard the Genâ€" eral Staff map out the plan of camâ€" paign in a masterly way, a plan for which no blueâ€"print existed, an attack over a No Man‘s Land hitherto untrod. It is War Against an Enemy as Ruthless as Hitier, Says Writer for Weekly Newspapers. Plan to Have T\\ elve Million Canadians on the March Against Canada‘s Foe. The enemy is no phantom, but a real and potent figure. He may be easily discerned in the rising price of nearly every commodity being sold in Canada, which, until Ottawa took a*‘ hand, threatened to get completely out of control, as sgen in the 16 per cent increase in cost of living since the war against Hitlerism began. Every last Canadian is being reâ€" cruited for this fightâ€"toâ€"aâ€"finish. There will be no uniforms, no brass band, no tinsel or glamour in this battle. Jusit a niche in the civilian army that is pointing to win the greatest battle on the home front. The declaration of war establishes an absolute ceiling on prices of all kinds, with a very few exceptions, as they existed during the basic period, September 15th to October 11th, 1941. The exceptions are for inevitable seaâ€" sonal fluctuations as in the case of fruits and vegetables. The clarion call comes to all Canadians to ensurs that this ceiling will not be punctured. Gordon, Officer Commanding Headquarters staff in this war is the Wartime, Prices and Trade Board at Ottawa. Officer Commanding the army is Donald Gordon, dynamic 40â€"yearâ€" old Scotsman, who is directing an assault such as no country in the world has hitherto attempted. There are other Scotsmen on the Staff. There are keen young business men, some of them under 40 years of age. They are topâ€"flight business, industrial and agricultural leaders,. Highâ€"ranking civil servants, too, are members of the General Staff, the men who will be Cbâ€" crdinators and Administrators of price control. The Commanders aAre resolute in their determination that the plan will sucesged, not just for a sortie but for attainment of the final objective. It must succeed, they aver, or we are licked in more ways than one. Their Officer Commanding has comâ€" municated to his adjutants much of his own enthusiasm for the battle and confidence in the outcome. He Gdsâ€" clares that Canada‘s contribution to the downfall of Hitler will be the greatâ€" est of any nation if this homeâ€"front battle succeeds. "And succeed it will" is the pronouncement of this brawny, determined Seotsman. Retail price ceilings must and will be maintained. Lieutenantsâ€"Colonel in the field leadâ€" ing Canada‘s new army on the battleâ€" front will be thirteen prominent Canaâ€" dians for as many battle zones across the country. They are regional Prices and Supply Repesentatives appointed to their commands by Headquarters. Each will have his own staff of Majors and Captains to carry out inspection and enforcement and to arbitrate disâ€" putes. They will have their Divisional Headquarters in strategic centres across Canada, where they car wage unreâ€" lenting warfare against the common foe throughout the territory assigned to them. Each province will have one such Heaquarters, except for Ontario and Quebec which, owing to their Lieutenants in the new army are the thousands of retailers, hundreds of wholesalers and innumerable manuâ€" facturers across the country. They must expect smaller profits, they will have to reduce overhead, cut down on varieties of preduction and economize all along the line. A new era of coâ€" operation will be ushered into commerâ€" cial transactions in Canada, with each party being expected to bear his fair share of the "squeeze" resulting from the price ceiling. The retailer may be hardest hit for the moment, but all must share the burden equally in the long run. Consumer Will Decide Outcome But in the final analysis it will be the private in the ranks, the average Canadian man and woman, the conâ€" sumer, who will decide the outcome of this herculean struggle. In the van, leading the frontal and flank attack, will be the millions of housewives who do most of the buying for Canadian homes. They can make or break price control. Their sincere coâ€"operation and unremitting vigilance are indisâ€" pensable to the campaign‘s success Every household must needs get along with smaller quantities and fewer vrrieties of goods of all kinds, consumâ€" able and ctherwise Indeed rationing may be an inevitable noncomitant of the masterâ€"plan of attack. Not easily ours will be the verdict Replete with cbstacles, pitfalls, is the greater population, will have respecâ€" tively four and two offces. Headquarâ€" ters staffs heading up the homeâ€"front battle will aggregate more than one thousand men and women. The total may rise to 2,000 as the battle deâ€" velops. pat sattleâ€"ground over which Canada army commenced to move on D ber 1.

This is the chance for which mos:t civilians have longed to do something to aid the Empire in the battle for survival. This is the opportunity for everyone to make a sacrifice, to do without some desired commodity in order that more raw materials may go into war production for the armed forces, to accept fewer lines of merchandis*, to reconomize, to buy War Savings Certificates, Eace by doing his or her part is aiding to prevent the government‘s expenditures on the sinews of war from rising to prohibitive figures. Fach is helping to circumvent an enemy who would deâ€" pricate the life savings, insurance policies, the investments, the salaries and wages of our people. (Subsequent articles will describe the plan of battle, how the price ceiling operates, the obstacles to be overcome, its application to smallâ€"town merâ€" chants, farmers and consumers, as well as a pen picture of some members of the Headquarters Staff.) It is a battle which can be won, which must be won and which will be won if each accepts a frontâ€"line posiâ€" tion in the fight. "The price ceiling must be maintained" is the order of the day from Headquarters; The peoâ€" ple‘s army alone can assure that it will be. Expert Impressed by Sysâ€" tem at Hospital for‘ Sick Children at Toronto. English Mothers to be Put on Diet on Plan Used Here During his recent visit to Canada Sir Wilson Jameson, chief medical officer of the British Ministry of Health, stated that immediately upon his return to England he would be putting all expecâ€" tant mothers in Britain on the diet which has been worked out by The Hosâ€" pital for Sick Children in Toronto. ‘"Here is one example of what I meay, having to do with the allâ€"important subject of nutrition, which will, I am confident, assist us to win the war.

"The ~work has been done here through your magnific¢cent children‘s hospital. I‘m going to put it into effect at home. I‘m going to go back and do it at once. I‘m sure that this extremely valuable work being done in Toronto will be of great help to us. We‘ve done what we could but we didn‘t think of this." Some idea of the immense value and wide scope of the work of The Hospital for Sick Children may be formed by considering the fact that during the past year alone, over 9,000 sick and crippled children were given treatment in the Public Wards, while the Outâ€" Patient Department handled over 73,â€" 000 visits from suffering little ones. In these Public Wards, over 80 doc-, tors give their services without charge. The time donated free by this group | of doctors, which includes many of | Canada‘s leading child specialists, has been estimated on a conservative basis to be worth at least $200,000.00 per year, if fees were charged. Their skill, acâ€" quired through many years of active| work with the most difficult type of| "problem" cases, cannot be measured in dollars and centsâ€"it is priceless. ‘ Unlike most other hospitals, this| great Institution has no large group of Private Ward beds from which to! draw extra revenue which can be ap-l plied to Public Ward service.
