"Relrenchment"

Tilg illanr/nn Transcript turhing, but null znltlirnticalcd, report" that the Canadian National Railways will soon inaugur- ate a retrenchment policy that will involve substantial rcdtirtion in staff Docs this mean a filrthei‘ reduction in the already decimated staff of the Prince Ed- Uur Moncton contemp- orary does not say, but the proposed reduction is said to amount to approximately three-quart- ers of a million dollars per month, or about a one-third cut in the reported wage bill for this

ward Island (ll\'l>lt)l1?

The reason given for the proposed reduc- tion is the declining revenue. With the repatri- ation of Canadian service personnel now near- ing completion, and the opening of the St. Law- rence River ports, traffic from and to the At- lantic ports tiaturally shows a falling-off. To meet this situation it seems to be a matter of

will and 91'5" Cfllllfllll and restrictive con- trois," said one resolution. “With very few ex- ceptions we demand their immediateremoval."

It was argued by Government spokesmen in Parliament that adoption of this resolution would ruin the country by. bringing on infla- tion. That, of course, is the advice the Govern- ment receives from its bureaucrats; but there is an increasing body of solid public opinion against the bureaucratic view. The Dominion Federation of Agriculture, for example, is on record in almost the same terms as the Con-

price ceilings. Now the I7inancial Par! comes forward with equally convincing reasons from the business standpoint. It says:

Some nervous observers watching United States tossing over controls a fe\v months ago and prices and wages rising steeply iumped to the conclusion that dangerous inflation was iust around the corner. They pointed to the dire disaster which overtook a large section of littl- ope after the last war. They were afraid of a repetition on this continent.

Now thcy'are calmer, and so, fortunately, appears \\'asliington.

One significant factor overlooked by the superficial and fearful is a vital (Iiffercitce in the situation today as compared with 19in). Then there was n0 great accumulation in‘ sav- ings and deferment of purchasing power. [f a man wanted to buy an automobile or a silk shirt during and ininictliatcly after the First War, he could and vcry often did. This time such purchasing was largely impossible. As a. result there is fat more money tucked away in war bonds and savings accounts, far fewer shiny cars in garages, ucw refrigerators in the kitchen or silk shirts in dresser drawers. In fact there is a lamentable shortage of shirts of any kind.

So long as the public‘s demand for goods is not fully satisfied, no sudden collapse in the national economy of Canada or the United States is to be expected, provided government and the people keep their heads.

For the former this means a genuine at- tempt to balance budgets, to curtail any unnec- essary flood of public expenditure. That spend- ing has been aptly compared to a spring rain. “A little will water the ground and do good,

We were certainly given to suppose that improvements in railway service in. this Prov- ince would be made as soon after the war as With this in mind, the Advisory Re- construction Committee submitted a series of recommendations to the Provincial Government which have been transmitted to Ottawa, which include: the elimination where possible of level crossings and installation of danger sig- nals where level crossings improvements in many railroad stations in the Province; proper accommodation for handling passengers and freight; greater and more even supply of refrigerator cars; a permanent shunt- er service at Sumnicrsitle, operating within the a~ Come frag Scotland" Kensiugton to Miscouche area, to be used when a I. required in moving passengers west of Emer- ald ]unction; a better service on the Elmira branch and on the Charlottetown-Murray Har-

It was rather unfortunate for the War Time Prices and Trade Board that on the morning after their official announcement that black marketing reports had been exaggerated, the R. C. M.
