htr. Gordon's hoelpo

Asked if Canada would embark on price control experiments similar to those in vogue in the United States, Mr. Donald Gordon, chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, de- clared emphatically: "We are not going to be tempted." He went on: "Not only will there lie no decontrol but it looks as if we will have to wait a while before we can have accelerated easing of ‘the controls. Production is remark- ably on the upswing in this country with the ending of most of the paralyzing strikes, but it will be weeks before we con ascertain how fast the gap is closing between stripped stores and new goods, and for that reason, chiefly, we ore-obliged to move cautiously, if not slowly."

There is to be no reliance in Canada on buyers' strikes.

"Buyers' strikes are spasmodic, unrelated, too often out of line with actual conditions. Again, it looks as if the cunsumers are not cop- cble of any sustained organized action against those who would boost prices out of reason, out of any relation to supply.

"l just cannot believe," said Mr. Gordon, "that the people of this country would want to swap their present economic position with that which unfortunately exists in the United States,

‘would wish to exchange all the benefits that

have come from what was to a large extent a self imposed discipline for the chaotic and the exotic price and supply conditions in the United States.

"Wholesale prices, the most reliable basis of calculation, have more than doubled in the United States since V-J Day," Mr. Gordon point- ed out, and he insisted that the advantages won here by carefully held controls were too great to be tossed away overnight by a rash experi- ment."

When will controls come off?

Gordon's formula is tlzis:

When Con ans arc assured of ample pro- duction, when t. y are fairly sure of getting o steady supply of houses and sugar and butter and suspcnd-ers and men's clothing and many other essentials, the controls will disappear When that vxiil come Mr. Gordon, who is neithc: a prophet nor u n of a prophet, is too shrewd to venture n gr . _

It is to be hoped that every word cf this is earnestly mcarit and will be resolutely car- ried through.

llon‘t Be loggers

We should not be above benefitting from advice given others in similar circumstances to ourselves. "Scotland must not be like a nagging woman, inefficient as all riaggers are. lf we wont things done in Scotland, we must do them ourselves and blame ourselves if we don't do them"--Lody Glen-Coats, chairman of Scottish Liberal Party, at Edinburgh and District Liberal Council told the annual meeting of the associ- ation the other day.

Commenting on this the Edinburgh Scots- man said: "A good deal was said about Scot- land, her present discontents and future place, at conferences during the week-end. lt was left to Lady Glcn-Coats, chairman of the Scot- tish Liberal Party, to take her fellow-country- men, rather thon the Sassennch, to task. Scot- land, she declared must not be like n nagging woman. There is something-more perhaps than some of us realize-in what Lady Glen-Coats said. Scotland has to stand up for her rights, never more so than now when Socialist legisla- tion gives extra power to centralized control at Whitehall, but there remains much that Scot- land can do for herself. We should beware lest, paying overmuch attention to asserting our- selves with London, we forget the native virtue of self-help. Besides, the nagger is never liked -and the habit tends to grow."

Why Blame The Farmer‘!

In some quarters the farmer isnow being blamed for pushing up the cost of living index. But, says the Hamilton Spectator:

This seems grossly unfair; not only because it ignores the blunt fact that the farmer's pro- duce prices have been stiffly controlled (in othor words, his wages) but because it skips a basic truth that a great number of people_scem ol- mest hysterically incapable of accepting, That is simply that a price increase that benefits one wage earner or producer is a cut in another man's real wages or earnings The farmer's youngest son can see that what matters is not how much cash he gets for ten bushels of potatoes, but how many shirts, or what part of a suit or a re- frigerator he can claim from the store with that ten bushels, and that if it takes more potatoes to get these things, then his real wages are down. He knows that trade is still trade. "Id that the only valid claim on the goods or serv- lces of the community is what he contributes to the community himself — heretical e_s it might sound. Thus, a jump in crty prices is a cut in his wages. .

So why blame the farmer? What lie gets for his food is his income, his wages. Other people get ell they con—no matter what hap- pens to the public-so why shouldn't he? There

, are lean, herd'years on the form; no "security"

but that he makes for himself; no holidays nor relief from a ruthlessly demanding twenty-four ‘hour: day. In Canada he gets far lesp than he does in the Unitdd States; in the west he is almost bunting at the seams about the way the

War veterans and others are interested to learn that vocational training was given 35,- 800 veterans in September. This type of train- ing is cxpected to continue for another year ond expectations ore that a total of 100,000 veter- ans will take part in the plan. The September report showed 11,310 veterans taking on-the-iob training; 4,662 training in private schools; 6,411 attending vocational training schools for pre- matriculation work; 12,557 in straight voca- tional training and 958 taking correspondence courses arranged under the vocational training

Admiral Darlan, French Commissioner in Africa, in a broadcast this date 1943, asked Commanders of the French fleet locked in Tou- lon to bring the ships to North Africa, the enemy occupation of France being completed, though the Germans announced that the French warships would be snfcgzarded. The Eighth Army, pursuing its victorious course, occupied Bardia, Hulfuyn and Sollum; six weeks later Darlan was assassinated in Algiers by a young Frenchman, and was succeeded by General Gir- aud.

As time passes, the demand for first edi- tions of famous books increases, and competi- tIon at the present is keener than ever it has been. A first folio edition of Shakespeare's plays, published in London in 1623, seven years after the playwright's death, has been purchas- ed ot an auction in New York for $22,000 by on anonymous private New York collector. The 12 5-8 by 8 1-8 inch volume, bound in crimson morocco and gilt tooled on the sides, was from the collection of the late Eldridge R. Johnson, of Moorestown, N. 1., founder of the Victor Tnlk- ing Machine Company. lt sold for $5,500 in 1900.

Premier loner has not the monopoly of high priced bulls. Jock Hoffman, a farm boy from Ida Grove, Iowa, bought a calf last year for $50, says Time. To feed his calf, a purebred white-faced Hereford named T. O. Pride, he paid out another $210. Last week, 15-year-old Jack Hoffman get a jack-pot return for his $260 in- vostment. After T. O. Pride had first been named junior champion and then grand cham- pion steor at Kansas City's rich, famed American Royal livestock show, Jack Hoffman sold him. The auction price: $42,600 (the Government will get $19,001.00 of this unless Jack is able to de- duct a siseable amount as "operating expenses" and needed improvements an his UD-acre farm). Prize bulls had brought higher prices. lut at $35.50 a 1b., the LIN-lb. T. O. Pride was for and away the costliest moat of all time (provi- ous record for 1a steor:_ $11.50 a 1b.). Sirloin
