Farm Production

Despite the onslaughts of unfavourable wea- ther and plant iliseases and pests, and a shortage of fillfilCli-ITOOIB" in the field, the farmers of Canada have completed a remarkably good cam- paign on the agricultural front during the sea- The monthly letter of the Royal

son of i943. Bank of Canada for October points out that al- though conditions do not compare with thOse of the llfflCiftllllg season and the record yields of many crops wcrc not equalled, production on the ivholc has been satisfactory.

The Cqllgldiqnl {Qvover of wheat at the be- ginning of the prcscnt crop year was 60I_mil- lion bughgh, making the total supply available for the 1043-44 crop year 870 million bushels. It is zinticipziteil that larger quantities than usual are being used for feed and Canadian consump- tion of wheat in the crop year is estimated at 170 llIIlIlOll bushels, compared with normal local consumption of 100 million.

The impressive record of livestock production in Canada is indicated by the situation in re- gard to bacon and other pork products. Can- adian farmers are this year supplying Great Bri- tain with 85 pcr cent of its bacon requirements, while prior to the war Canada rarely supplied more than 2o per ccnt. Since i939 Canada has exported to Great Britain over 2 billion pounds of bacon and other pork products, an amount in excegg of our total baron and pork exports dur- irig the :0 years, ioio to i939, This volume of ghipmcnts represents 17,000,000 hogs.

Education

iiig the Quebec Association of Pro- hers in Blontreal the other day, Mr. Gordon tiraydou, leader of the Oppositiondn the llouse of Conimrins, made an arresting point. lle said education in future must place "greater emphasis upon the teaching of civics, the responsibilities of individuals in the state as well as statcsnianship and the operation of dc- mocratic machineiv in general. so that when vouth reaches its majority it will be equipped to exercise its treasured franchise intelligently. If democracy is worth fighting for, it should be worth training for." But -- Nlr. (iraydon emphasized —— training along technical and vocational linesis not enough. “A nation in which everybody was trained ‘and nobody educated could never become a great na- tion," he said, thereby coining an epigram which goes to the root of the controversy between the apostles of scientific culture and the “human- ities." It is interesting t0 note that while .\Ir. Gray- don was emphasizing this in Montreal, Premier Drew, speaking in his capacity of Ontario's Min- ister of liduczitioii, was iiiiilcrliiiiiig it in Ottawa. "\\'e fall short of the basic requirements of education," said Prriiiici- llrew, “if we do not teach voiith how to live and do not encourage an undersiziiiiliiig of the purpose of life . .' The wcll-stiickeil brain which understands the basic truths ot life is the best antidote for juvenile delinquency; as it is the best prepara- tion for citizenship. Uur way of life must be based rin these coiicepts-—obligatioi1 of citizens to each vither and to the country-and accept- lnce of ordered discipline.

Air Control

At the cumin; parlc " in London. which Prime .\lini.~;tci‘ King may attend, it is expect- ed that spoltcsiiicn for the two conimonwealths will strongly‘ urge iiitrriizitional control of post- war air opt-riuioiis. 'l'h:'_v are likely to insist upon that control inchidiiig such important fea- tures as ihc right to zuirlit the international body and the obligation to lgive atleqttate publicity to the results of lllt- audits.

Horror In Hamburg Fantastic stories iii tl_ie effect of fire-bumb- ing in llainhiirg have come out of Switzerland. They tell of great fires taking oxygen out of the air, causing what must have been if the reports are to be believed. a veritable hell in which uo human being could live. They tell, too. of people in shelters bring l'(‘(IllC(‘(I to zishcs by the intense "neat of the fires. Altogether, it is a horrible pic- ture that is painted.

Instead of operating 24 hours a day, the ap- proximately 7,500 observation posts of the air- craft “spotters" and the 43 filter, centres along the east, west, andgulf coasts and the Canadian border will be manned only a few hours one day a week, to keep the organization together and prepared to return to full time duties at a moment's notice. Approximately 600,000 incin- bers of the Ground Observer Corps and the Air- craft Warning Corps are affected by the (lecis- ion, which GQIIII . H. Arnold says was made in the assumption of a "calculated" risk of cu- emy air attack, and which President Roosevelt warned the public “not‘to interpret as a de- mobilization of civilian defence."

Although Prime hfinister Ciirtiii has declar- ed that Australia is no longer in danger of in» vasion, this does not mean that the armed forces can be reduced. Nevertheless, the authorities are prepared to go considerably further than they have dared hitherto to release llI3ll|)O\\'t‘l' for the farms to produce more food for Britain. .\lan- poiver officials are combing and recnmbing the civilian manpower for more labor and lads be- tween 18 and 19 whom the law regards as to-ti ymiiig for service in the front line are being formed into a mobile tinit to meet seasonal dc- inands for labor. Butter has bacn rationed to 8 ozs. a week per head and a special department is concentrating on lifting farm production. One factory has been switched from war to farm ina- cliinery production, and the New South Wales Government is advancing £100,000 free of in- terest to back mechanisation of dairies on the rich coastal lands, and the prouction of fodder crops where farmers have been depending on pastures

"I think I've had my fling at politics," Mr. Mitchell Hepburn is quoted as saying last week, "but I'll be out fighting for Mr. Bracken at the next election, make no mistake about that." bilaybe that won't be so good for Mr. Bracken, says Ottawa journal, if one were to judge by what happened to Hon. Arthur Mcighen. Mr. Hepburn came out to support Mr. Meighen in the by-election in South York last year, and Mr. hfcighen was defeated. Mr. Hepburn went on to say last week: "I'll support whoever may be Conservative candidate in this riding. Every farmer I know is behind Mr. Bracken. He'll be a really Progressive Conservative and will have a businesslike administration." These words are illustrative, we think, of the fact that Mr. Bracken is a big factor in the political sit- uation. Mr. Mitchell Hepburn whatever -his
