Who Will Control The Controllers? ) 4 d Acas 44 To ensure that the exercise of power by any individual shall not be excessive, the Stats, representing all classes, maintains itself in the position of judge, controller, regulator, arbitrator, and, in the main, it confines itself to these roles. It does, of course, supply numerous public services such as nonâ€"comâ€" petitive natural monopolies, notably water and light, but it has expanded its economict activities gradually and has been contéent to act in the main as the regulator and not the mainspring. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION What will happen if it steps out in a big way to operate virtually everything itself? If the regulator becomes the mainspring, then who regulates? <The answer can be got quite clearly by looking at Germany and Italy. In these countries, once the political power began to operate the economic machine it at once became clear that complete regiâ€" mentation was necessary, with the necessary force behind to make sure that the decrees of the dictatorial power were carried out. The question of controlling the controllers here,of course, never even aroseâ€"who could regulate or control the supreme power in the state? Once the rgeulator becomes the mainâ€" spring then the mainspring hnas nothing to regulate it. e _ it _i 4 ways been that the exercise of his freedom must not interfere with the freedom of others. As life has grown more complicated, the danger of one man‘s freedom interfering with that of another has increased, and we have found it necessary for the State, which represents all the people, to exercise more and more control, even in peacetime. Supâ€" porters of the individualist system recognize this This seems so clear that one wonders why the Socialists do not see it. They do, in fact, see that there is a problem and try to answer it, but being unversed in the practical workâ€" ing of Government their answer is entirely unpractical and unrealistic. They fall back on such statements as "The principle of Cabinet responsibility or ultimate democratic control must be retained in the running of State industry." But any one who will reflect on the way Government is carried on will realize that "ultimate democratic control" must be entirely confined to principles and policies and cannot possibly have to do with the deâ€" tails of dayâ€"toâ€"day business. In other words, a few men comprising a committee of Parliaâ€" ment (the Cabinet) must make all the dayâ€"toâ€" day decisions. * BUDGET AS AN EXAMPLE Take as an illustration the budget. We all know that in practice (and it is the only practical way) the Minister of Finance and his expert assistants prepare the budget, that it is approved by the Cabinet, and then goes before the Parliament, where the Governâ€" ment majority puts it through. Under the socialist plan, instead of the Government conâ€" fining itself in the main to regulate measures to direct and control other people, it will be carrying on the great bulk of the nation‘s businesg itself, and to suggest that there will be "ultimate democratic control" is merely playing with words. Frankly, the situation is that a few men, without any one to control them, will run the whole show. There will be no one to control the controllers and rememâ€" ber that the proposed controllers almpst cerâ€" tanly will be men without any practical experience in affairs. And yet they are ready to assume responsibilities from which comâ€" petent men with a lifetime of training and experience would shrink. EOE mt Oe umt One of the great strengths of democracy has been that it sought to leave each man to lead his own life as free as possible from outâ€" side interference, Government or otherwise.

Inteéerment was made in Timmins cemetery, The late Mr. Chapman held the reâ€" gard and estsem of all, and his death is a loss to Timmins and the North. He was born at Elora, Ont., in September, i876, and came to Cobalt in 1907. In i0910 he moved to Timmins where he has been a popular resident through the intervening years, For a great many vears he was an employee at the Holâ€" linger and Peter Chapman, as he was affectionately known, was well liked and esteemed by all. A ilttle over a year ago his health failed and he was compelled to retire from active work. (On Monday of last week he succumbed to a heart attack. The arrangements for the funeral were held over to aiâ€" low his sons to reach home. He is surâ€" vived by his widow and three sons, Anâ€" gus in the Army and stationed at Vanâ€" ouver, and Walter on service and staâ€" at London, and Douglas at How Socialism Affects The Farmer It will be cold comfort to the farmer who wishes to have some control over his own affairs to be told that "probably‘"â€"not cerâ€" tainlyâ€"he will be left in control of his own land. It will be still colder comfort to have the words "for some time" added. There is however, one certaintyâ€"that is, "output, and its distribution will be related to the national plan." PART OF CONTROLLED SYSTEM What is meant by the phrase "related to the national plan"? It means, of course, that it will be part of a controlled system. It could not be otherwise, because the final objective of socialism is the control of production and distribution. In other words, the farmer may continue to produce but the Government will look after the business end by taking over and controlling the distribution of his products. All this is to be done whether the individual farmer likes it or not. It is obvious that this totally disregards what becomes of the farâ€" mer‘s independence and personality as a factor in the life of the country. MEANS CHECK ON PRODUCTION In this talk we shall deal with socialism as it would affect farmers. After stating that the major proposal of socialism is the public ownership and operation of such things as banking, railways, flour mills, pulp and paper, heavy chemicals, the Research Committee of the League for Social Reconstruction, in its book, "Democracy Needs Socialism," says: "Agriculture, retail trade industries which are really competitive, and small businesses will probably continue for some time to be privately owned, although their output and its distribution will be related to the national plan." There is another point in this type of conâ€" trol which should not be overlooked. If the bureaucracy is to know what a farmer is doing with his products, and is to make sure he places all his production at the disposal of the Government agencies, as indicated by "Democracy Needs Socialism", it will be necessary to check every farmer‘s production and prevent him circumventing the Governâ€" ment‘s arrangements for disposing of it. The "Gestapo" methods which will necessarily have to be used can be left to the imagination. The: Socialists, of course, would question this. Mr. T. C. Douglas, Deéeputy Leader of the CCF., for example, would put it difâ€" ferently. He would say that the Socialist plan means giving workers, farmers, trade unfon â€" ists, consumers, a real voice in managing their own affairs. The C.C.F., he says, will establish a planned economy, but an economy planned and controlled by the people for the people. Commenting on this, Mr. Bruce Hutchison, the wellâ€"known and widely traâ€" velled student of public affairs and a close observer of politics, writing in the Vancouver Sun says: "Whether a C.C.F. bureaucracy would be efficient, would represent only the people and remain above reproach, or whether any bureaucracy will soon become a force uncontrollable by the people and determined to control the people, is a matter of opinion. But it is only childish to say that Governâ€" ments can control an economy without a bureaucracy or operate without tools." PLENTY OF EVIDENCE Mr. Huthison might have gone further and said that in the last few years in Germany and elsewhere where we have had convincing evidence of what hapâ€" pens when Governments undertake to control economic life. No one who understands that Governments must govern can be deluded by any vague suggestion that there can be direct control from the bottom except on broad, longâ€"range matters of principle and policy. The dayâ€"toâ€"day decisions must be arrived at by the few and carried out by them through the steadily increasing power of a huge and growing bureaucracy. _ We have already in wartime a foretaste of what that will mean, and we endure it as of necessity in wartime, however much we dislike it. But we should remember that what we have now is a foretaste only of the regiâ€" mentation and control which we shall have to endure in peacetime if the Socialist have their way.

(Dr.) Ralph Neeâ€" lands continues to increase in effectâ€" iveness. Public meetings, radio addresâ€" ses and personal calls are winning votes for Dr. Neelands. In his adâ€" dresses he is featuring the twentyâ€"two points of Col. Drew‘s programme, esâ€" pecially those points that have parâ€" ticular touch with the North. He has made it plain that the advantage of the North would be advanced by the Public Addresses, Radio Talks and Personal Calls Winning Support. Capt. (Dr.) Neelands Carries on Very Effective Battle How Socialism Affects The Trade Unionist There should be no doubt in the mind of any trade unionist what will happen to trade unions in the fully planned economy conâ€" templated by the Socialists, in which, as pointed out in our first talk, they propose to take over and operate practically the whole means of production and distribution. What will happen is not a matter of conjecture. We have clear and striking evidence from Gerâ€" many, Italy, and labor elsewhere. What hapâ€" pens is that under the fully planned economy the supreme authority, which is also the supreme employer, cannot tolerate any Opâ€" position among its employees, and, therefore, it cannot tolerate any independent employees‘ organizations. That is why in Germany it was inevitable that the Nazis should stamp out trade unions, which they did promptly, completely and ruthlesslyâ€"within six months of coming into power,. ts : 42. c In Italy it took longer. The outlawing of the trade unions was not complete until 1925, three years after the Fascists came into power. There are, indeed, still tame trade unions in Italyâ€"how tame may be indicated by the fact that under the law no trade union official can be elected to office in the union without the consent of high Fascist officials. This makes it clear that the trade union conâ€" tinues to exist in name only. Indeed under the Fascist state the trade union becomes merely a propagandist and administrative organization under the direction and dictaâ€" tion of the SOME IN ITALY How could it be otherwise? Trade unions exist to assert and maintain the rights of employees in any negotiation with employers. When there arises an irreconcilable differâ€" ence it becomes necessary to have recourse to a higher authority, namely, the will of all the people as expressed through Government. This superior will can harmonize and df#ferences when they arise between emâ€" ployer and employee. But what happens when the higher power takes over the propâ€" erty of the employers and itself becomes the virtually universal employer? It is perfectly evident to any one who will ponder the facts that when this happens trade unionism is doomed. Its final disappearance may perhaps be somewhat delayed, but is nevertheless inevitable. Let us look at the plain facts. Under socialism the trade union no longer deals with the individual employer who is subject to the higher authority of the State, but it deals with the State itself, the supreme authority. In these cireumstances any negotiation beâ€" tween the trade union and the new employer would be like the negotiation between the fy and the spider. It would be well for trade unionists to ponder these things, and to stop, look and listen before they court the fate of the trade unions in Germany and Italy. While no one suggests that in this country they would be put down in the ruthless and brutal fashion employed in Europe, nevertheless under soâ€" cialism the trade union as understood in this or any other democracy could not continue to exist. Its disappearance would be the logical outcome of the fully planned economy, and experience in other countries has shown that it would be folly to expect anything else. BENEFIT BY EXPERIENCE With, the experiencae of Germany and Italy before us, it ought not to be necessary to labour ths point further. Surely it is clear that when socialism steps in at the front door trade unionism goes out by the back. The union may continue to drag out a shadowy and useless existence as a tool subservient to the Government, like the case of trade unionâ€" ism in Italy already mentioned, but that is all.
