~~IFr i â€"Town Motors Ltd. : ARTICLE NO. 15 | | Having dealt at some, length with the question of the British wheat agreements and marketing controls imposed by the governâ€" ment on Canadian farmers it remains to sum up some of the disturbâ€" ing features of this legislation. It will have been observed that high Liberal sources have been quoted against these measures to avoid appearing partisan in presenting the facts in the case. B 6 BRACKEN ENDORSED Liberal Exâ€"Ministers, Liberal Senators have been outspoken against the Mackenzie King government on these questions. They have been in agreemnt with Hon. John Bracken, leader of the Proâ€" gressive Conservatives, on main principles embodied in the legislation. These experienced leaders and legislators have spoken with authorâ€" itative force to warn the government and the public of the moral factors back of these arbitrary departures from Liberal doctrine. MORAL FACTORS What are these moral factors? The Winnipeg Free Press, topâ€" ranking Liberal newspaper, joins with these leading Liberal s{atesâ€" men in declaring that the byâ€"late_ral wheat deal is an affront to other nations; that discrimination is immoral and damagng to world peace and future trade; that the deal seems designed to distract the farmer‘s mind from the cardinal fact of the world market, and renders him at the same time impotent in his own individual affairs. STATE SOCIALISM Projectng a "deeper logic‘ it is shown that the goverment by embracing state trading under which it can seize, set the price, conâ€" trol producton and delivery,.jail or fine farmers for nonâ€"cooperation, has destroyed individual freedem and by so doing has endorsed state socialism. For these are the very elements of socialism as was pointâ€" ed out particularly by the Liberal Exâ€"Minister, Senator Crerar. STEPPING STONES It is all very well to argue, they assert, that these extraâ€"ordinâ€" ary powers may not be used by this government, but they are there on the stabute books as stepping stones that may be used if a more leftist regime assumes power. It is clear, however that if Bracken forms a government these forms of regimenting farmers, these limitâ€" ations of freedom, will be swept aside for he has stated the policy of his party in very clear terms which will be set forth later. PERVERTED PRINCIPLES So the main complaint of leading and responsible Liberals against the government of the day is its trend to socialism. As the Free_ Press states: ‘"The government professes to denounce C.CF. soicalism and has itself introduced socialist measures without equal in modern North American history; in the course of time these meaâ€" sures will rise up to shame all true Liberals.‘‘ It is expected that these assertions will be carefully noted by farmers. CLEARCUT CONTEST » Follow‘ng articles will go on to discuss other problems. In closing out this phase of the farm question it may be well to reaffirm our original premise; that Canadians want a restoration of freedom; that the coming election is a test between today‘s Liberal regime and the Progressive Conservatives led by John Bracken. The time to decide is well before the election is called. Time for Decision is written for this purpose. a» Twins Martin and and Vailfrid Lahti were born January 7, 1938 in South Porcupine. Mrs. Lahti and children went to Finland in 1939 and the war broke out, so one of the twins was left in Finland. He arrived in South Porcupine in August with Mrs. Oivanen. Seen here with their sister. the Finnish boy is slightly taller. Catch the small car ‘worriers‘ promptly and you may prevent big car problems later. Bring your car to us for a careful check today.

James The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Ont. â€" TI‘ri â€" Town" Although the great:r proporiion of the people are illiterate they are pro tected by their lef»st government and enjoy many social sâ€"curitiee that‘ we here would welccme.Among them are Free Accident and life insurance; free medical and hospital care, fres secondâ€" ary education,; every child must comâ€" plete six grades.â€" and the leaving ags is 14, High School costs $1.00 per year and it is possible to go through Un:.â€" versity if able to at home on $7.00 registraticn‘.â€"fee and about $8.00 to cover all other requirements. Children are ‘allowed free food during the first two years and all r:tire at 60 on full pay if they have bsen employed teon yeafs, Sick and accident pay is not reduc:d and with a doctors not# a workâ€" man can have six â€"month convalescence vith full pay. Thire are few labour disputes all being settled by negotâ€" iations. If the wheat subsidy were cancelie], tbread might have to zo up fcur cents per: loaf, although som> manuâ€" Iacmrers are considering changing the a‘ze of their standard loaf to moJify â€" From what it can learn, Canadian Grocer ccncludes that bread manuâ€" facturers are pretty well set on adâ€" vancing their prices even if Ottawa does nol give them an official goâ€"aâ€" head.> They say they simply can‘t maintain production at a prof.t uniess they do get more. ‘"‘And it may not be the result of liftâ€" ‘ng the big wheat subsidy of 77% cents per bushel," the grocers business papâ€" Housewives can expect to pay the bakâ€" er a couple of cents more for the r ular 1%%1b Icaf of bread any day now, Canadian Grocer predicts. er explains. "Ottawa appears to be afraid to let go the subsidy, and bakâ€" €rs are threatening to boil over at Chile the most southern republic in the Amricas :s a long narrow country bowurided by the Andes on the East and the Pacific on the West. The coun.ry stretches for scme 2,000 miles North and South but at no place exceeds 300 mil.s in width, The capital is Saniiago and the largest port is Valâ€" parailso, From the latt:r town came a guest speaker, who gave one of the uncst interesting and educat.onal adâ€" dreéss:s heard in Timmins for some time, He was Dr. Alex. Zeld‘s and ho was guest speaker at a Y‘s Men‘s Club dinner held in the Grand Hotel on Monday evening. Like Bread Itself Loaf Price Will Rise Dr. Zeldis was thanked on behalf of the club by the viczâ€"president, Granam Dunlop. Oth:r speakers included P. T. Moisley, Markle and Earl Hawkins. Travel costsâ€"practically nothing as compared to this ccuntry and it is possible to make a two hcur flight by plane for only $6.00 and a 1,800 train journey first class cost about $14.00. The government is headed by a prisâ€" ident who is elected for six years and he chcosts his cwn.cab.net. Congressâ€" men. who are clected for four and senators who hold office for eigat years make up the parliament. Only males over the agso of 18 and who can read and write are allew:d to vore. The doctor <xplained that Chile is now subject to racial problems like so many of their soatherr# neighbours and that the Indians who formerly inhabâ€" ited the country before the arrival of the Spaniards were pract.cally wiped out zind only a few now live in the south and have little or no contact with th; Chileans. They have enjoyed a longer period of peace than most of the other republics of South America and one cf ‘the symbols of lasting fr.endship is the famous statue, Christ of the Andes, which was erect:d in 1904 to commemerate their last serlous disâ€" pute between themselyves and Argenâ€" tinia, The inscription reads: "Thuse Mountains will fall down before the peace b:tweenmChile and Argentinia is broken. The living conditions vary much more than ours. Even the middle classes who are the majority have onâ€" ly about half the standard of living that we enjoy. They compare with our v.ry poor and thcse who come below this standard are lower than any peoples in th:.s country. Poverty is rampant and is aided by the country‘s love for drinking. It is not unusval for the father to drink his full wages and leave the mother to tend for herâ€" s If and fansly. Another weakness is horse racing which takss place at the weekâ€"end. The main sport is footâ€" ball and the largest stadium holds some 70,000 peopls and crowds have often to be turned away.

If Mr. Gregg fails this t.me he will, in all likel!â€" hood, resign as Elisrericp:. Minister. There is nothing in the cons!litution to pr:vent a man from being a member of the Catinet: though he may not have been elected to the House of Comomns. In such a case, however, he would act as a minister but wouldâ€"not be allow:d to sit in the House. His duties there would probably be carrisd out â€"by a parliamentary assistant. It is mcst like‘y, however, that if Mr. Gregg fails in Yorkâ€"Sunbury, a new appointméent will be made for the Fisherics post. $ Mayor Lewis Attend Leaye For Paris Will Moscow Celebration __ * " ®utovean Leagve Montreal, â€" Accompanied by Alderman W.
