One firm in "the _firitigh Isles had made"®nothing but fountain pens and nibs â€"before the war. As soon as the war commenced, however, this firm turned over to the making of munitions: The change was made in a matter of days. Since then, the firm has switched at least three times to comâ€" pletely different products for war use. In 1941 the company took over a mineral water factory _and installed a plant for the manufacture of ‘shellâ€"fuse parts, with hitherto unskilled labour. ‘Later, they converted another building to meet an urgent need for arinourâ€"piercing bullets and antiâ€" war is trusted to be equalled by the rate with which the change will be made from war to peace. , The extraordinary versatility shown by so many British firms in the last five yeans, is expected to play a great part in speeding the transition. from war to peace production for both home andl export markets as soon as the military situdtionl permits." So says the United Kingdom Informa-‘ tion Offices. | Many people will feel that Canadian and United States industries would easily have equalled the speed of Old Land factories, had it not been for delays caused by red tape and political considâ€" erations.. This but proves that the British are not so stlow after all, for their political handicaps are removed usually with a speed seldom equalled on this side of the ocean. any event the Briâ€" tish show commendable speed in the final analâ€" ysis. Looking at the record of the "slow" old British," Canadians should be proud and happy to realize that they, too, are British in enterprise no less than in ideals. M ‘It may well be that examples of similar kind could be quoted on this side of the ocean, were the; censors to permit the publication of the facts. In that case it may be replied that the British are not so slow after all, for information in regard to the rapid change of factories from peace to wartime uses has been available in the Old Land for considerable time, the facts in this editorial being obtained from articles issued by the United Kingdom Information office. d e e e o t frc cA c o o CAALEL ds . 45. ta.nk fuses begmning the new production, within six weeks.

Within three months they had trained the new staff and perfect: radiators. were being turned out. After the war, the British will show themselves slow toâ€"resent the inputation of slowness. But the speed evidenced in. changing from peace to For many years there have been people in Canâ€" ada who have attempted to build up a tradition to the effect that the people of Gzeat Britain are inherently slow. Speed, these folks suggested, was typical of this continent, and while they mlght in the selfâ€"confessed goodness of their hearts admit that the British had many fine chqra.ct.eristics they seldom failed to emphasize the idea that the British were slow. After‘ the last war there were not so many ready to accept this tradition, after the men returned from overâ€" seas. When the men come back from the presâ€" ent conflict there will be still less likelinood of any general belief in the alleged slowness of the people of the Ofd Land. A closer acquaintance with the people of Britain is very likely to impress the truth that the British are just as speedy as the next one, even if they do not miake so much noise about it. On this side of the ocean there were some regâ€" ular miracles of speed in the matter of turning from peace time manufactures to the making of munitions. of war. The Ford Company of Canâ€" ada gave a uotable example of this during the second year of the war. But such cases. may easily be duplicated by British firms.

Oour present complex and unscientific system of taxation, with its costly‘ colâ€" lection methods, should be referred now to a group of experts forâ€"advice and recommendations, he declared. Referring to the success of the Sevâ€" enth Victory Loan as the greatest pubâ€" lic borrowing transaction in Canada‘s history, Mr. Waldio pointed out that in the last five and a half years our war expenditure has been $12.5 blllion and our nonâ€"war expenditure $3.3 bilâ€" lion, about 59 percent. of the $15.8. bilâ€" lion total having been obtained in the form of tax and other revenue and the restâ€"by borrowing. Tax levies, though a heavy burden, had been accepted as part of the sacrifice required by wqr but the almost confiscatory business, tax rates would need to ‘be revisefl in the postâ€"war years to facilitate expanâ€" sion and a greater volume of employ- ment, especially with reference to Cg» nadian producers who will have to compete in the export field with‘ nations of low living standa.rds‘ and plans should be made for this now. an increase of 6.3 percent. in national income, a new high level of farm inâ€" come, and labour on the whole fully employed, frequently at hlgher wage levels than hitherto.

One would be a continuance of some form of muâ€" tual aid. Though this would involve high taxation, it might be. better to pay high taxes on a prosperous level of income than no taxes on no income. It was the duty of all our citizens, he concluded, to give earnest thought to the many questions which will affect our future. It is good citizenship to own In peacetime these dimes.are not idle. They are kept busy through investment in a great variety of, local ang national undertakings. For the past five years they have been busy in a strictly military senseâ€"backing up our fightâ€" ing men with more than a billion dollars‘ worth of Victory Bonds. : These busy dimes are helping to buy security for you and yours â€" both in the present and in the future â€"both at home and abroad. That‘s what happens when money is really passed around. 22â€" That‘s what happens every year to at least two and a half billion dimes that are put into circulation through the life insurance comâ€" panies, These dimes really go to work. They come in the form of premium payâ€" ments from four million policyholders and if you prefer figuring in folding money, they amount to 250 million dollars. No doubt you‘ve seen dimes worn so thin that you can‘t see the heads on them.

Of course, that is not true. ‘"‘Councillor Gladstone talks, but doesn‘t work," is another whisper. And that is not the fact. ‘"Councillor Bonhomme is simply using the council to put foward his own political opinions‘" goes the third whisper. That is equally wide of the mark. The fact of the matter is that these three have not shown themselves sufficiently subservient to the plans of the ambitious little local ring: The voters ought to know how to answer these ‘"‘whispering campaigns.‘" There is no advantage to the town in strengthening any ring and losing valuable members on the town council.
