“The Ottawa Spotlight” |
A Weekly Review of National Affairs (By Wilfrid Eggleston) ——11eN—
Ottawa, September 28th— Canada Bow moves swiftly to play her part in the war, Every day brings forth some additional evidence that the machine is being “stepped up.” Much of the movement is behind th scenes and for | reasous of policy is not being advert- ised. ‘
Almost without the average citizen being ware of it, the government has taken to itself practically uniimited powers. It can act swiftly and secret- ly to pursue what it believes to be the ‘best policy for the nation, Prices and wages can be fixed, securities and sav- ings taken over, information repressed individuals detained, These are poten- Ual powers, and some may not be ex- ercised. But the power is there, in un- limited quantity. It is one of the oc- companiments of war.
The new swift developments of the past few days are in three or four separate fields.—
1—— Military action comprises decision to enlist, train and two divisions. A division numbers ab- out 15,000 men. It is the smallest com plete battle unit, and includes three brigudes of infantry (4 battalion, each) divisional artillery, divisional engineers, supply, signals, etc. One cof these divisions will be ear-marked for service overseas, the other, for the time at least, for home defence, ‘The units will be raised at many local centres and given preliminary train- ing. Then there will be concentration into provincial or regional training camps, Unlike the last war, there is no intention of burdening the demcc- racies by sending over inadequate.y equipped and half trained troops to add to the transportation and feeding oifficulties of the Allies, The ( anad- jans will go abroad trained in Canada and equipped with Canadian supplies.
2—This will be supplemented in other fields, There will be a big ex- pansion in naval activity, and Canada will rapidly build and outfit a fleet of antisubmarine craft, so as to relieve the British navy of the need of patrol- ling Canadian waters and so as to as- sist in convoying Canadian goods, ‘There will be a tremendous expansion in the training of air pilots and crafts- men,
3— Canada's production of aa equipment and supplies will go far be- yond the needs of her own war forces, She will become one of the major sup ply factories for Britain and France, Aeroplanes, artillery, shells, high ex- plosives, machin guns and other dir- ect fighting weapons will be produc- ed, and so will the numerous inciden- tal needs of wartime. Already the new war supply board, headed up by a leading technical industrialist and the National Research Council are geared up to get the machine into full opera- tion. Numerous contracts have already been let and others will be let as fast as possible.
4-—— Canada will be one of the main sources for foods and metals, Steps are being taken to control the cheese and apple markets and government supervision of other supplies is ex- pected, There is such a large crop of wheat that restrictions upon trading of it may not be immediately introduc- ed, but the expectations for the fut- ure are that this vital commodity will also be under close government sup-- ervision. Even as it is now, the gov- ernment is in control of a great mea- sure of wheat marketing,
5—-Om the financial and fiscal side, there ar unannounced evidences that the expansion of bank credit is begin- ting, in a quiet and well controlled way Capital projects by provinces and municipalities are being discour- aged, so that their dmands for struct- ural and building materials will not in- terfere with the war effort, There is likely to be a serious lapse in high- way construction for a while. ‘The railways, on the other hand, are plan- ning to spend rather freely to bring the transportation needs of the econ- omy at war into good shape.

U. F. A. EXECUTIVE MEET OCTOBER 10th
Plans for the annual convention this year in Edmonton, along with considerable routine business, will be discussed when the executive mem- bers of the United Farmers of Alberta and United Farm Women of Alberta hold a joint session in Calgary, Oct- ober 10th.

Many skilled men are required ‘n modern mechanized armies, and these will be accepted, up to the num- ber absolutely needed in khaki. But most of the specialists and highly skilled workmen will be needed in the great drive now being launched to vroduce a vast flood of war munitions

“Wheat and War” is the title of a highly informative economic study of war developments and their relation chip to the wheat situation, issued by the Pioner Grain Company. Believing this to be a subject of interest to all farmers, we publish the following sum-
And to halt at the chattering brook,|mary of the study:
Heavy responsibilities are involved in the formulation of Canada’s wheat policy for wartime, says the review. Wheat is an essential commodity to Supplies av-
ficiency and starvation, It is of the ‘utmost impportance, therefore, that | whatever is done by the gov't be dir- ected towards elliciency in marketing and towards the maintenance and| inecrease of Canadian pro- | auction,” it continues,
One of the hief dangers to be avoid- ,éd is hasty, ill-considered action. ‘Tu be fully effective, Canadian wheat pol licy should be evolved gradually and
| anad adapted to the circumstances of
| the war Above al there should be no hesitation in calling on the advice and services of who have qualified theinselves through long experience for positions of responssibility in | agriculture and the grain trade,
{ Inevitably our minds travel back twenty-five years to the outbreak of the World War of 1914-1918, the re- view continues Then, as now, the British Empire and France opposed themselves to German aggression. But the difference between the two events are just as significant as the similar- ities,
When the war of 1914-18 broke out, the countries of the world were knit together by a multitude of commercial and financial ties, Today, internation- politics, is

world has been dividing itself up into |

The difference is well illustrated by wheat. In an average year during the period 1909-13, Germany imported 90 million bushels of wheat and flour, {taly 57 millions, France 39 millions and Great Britain 220 millions, In contrast. when world trade was at its lowest ebb in the years 1984-35 and 1935-36, Germany, Italy and France among them imported annually than 20 million bushels ‘ional security measure, possible bel- iigerents and neutrals alike

more than enough for immediate re- quirements. Germany is said to be able to get along twelve months with- cut imports of wheat even in the face of a short crop. The British Minister of Agriculture estimates that
sufficient to tor
domestic crop will be maintain the bread supply months without imports, Dealing with the wheat situation it- self the review points out that sup- plies of wheat in the world are very much greater now than they were in :914, particularly in North America. “anada this year, for instance, has a crop of 450 million bushels and a carryover of 102 millions against a crop of 161 million bushels and a very small carryover in 1914, Eventually of course, if the war is prolonged, the supply
six
present relationship between and demand will alter greatly.
Hiow best can Canada proceed in formulating policy, the Pioneer Grain Company review asks in conclusion. Une thing is certain, whatever we do must be done to help win’ the war. The review then points out several factors, Canada will have direct com- petition in selling wheat trom the United States and perhaps also from the Argentine, Australia and Balkan countries which are _ still neutral countries. On the other side the Allies will be competing for supplies against | neutrals like Italy, Spain, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium and Scandinay- ian countries. Moreover, Canada has more than enough wheat for the Allies und must sell elsewhere.
Under these conditions the favors the continution of open market selling, just as prevailed trom 1914, until the fall of 1917. Any attempt to! fix prices is doomed to failure be-| control over supply and demand. Open mar- ket operations at least have the virtue ihat prices are decided from day to day in accordance with changing con- ditions, If the seller is dissatisfied with price he need not offer, if the buyer is dissatisfied he need not bid. Undoubtedly, for purposes of conser- ving resources within the Empire, Britain should buy Canadian wheat in preference to wheat from non-Empire sources, but the price can be better decided on an open market than’ by political bargaining, concludes the re- view,

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
“Unreality” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon at all Chrisian Science on Sunday. The Golden- Proverbs 13:7. One of the scriptural citations is “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22). One of the correlative pass uges from “Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Edy, is “Christians rejoice in secret beauty and bounty, hidden from the | world, but known to God, Selt-for- getfullness, purity, and affection are constant prayers, Practice not pro- tession, understanding not beliet, gain the ear and right hand of omnipotence and they assuredly call down infinite blessings.” (1.15).

alae HE ancients thought the sky was held up on the shoulders of the giant Atlas. But Alberta is actually carried, from an economic standpoint, on the shoulders of the giant Agriculture. Last year, less than 100,000 Alberta farmers produced $167 million of new wealth. Of that total $118 million came from field crops, mostly wheat. Where would Alberta’s 775,000 people get a living if it were not for agriculture? Yet this great industry must struggle along under the burden of marketing methods which, more often than not, provide inadequate prices. Sophistry and theorizing avail little. Action is needed. The Wheat Pools and the farm organizations got the Wheat Board. This was a great forward step in marketing wheat, to which all now subscribe. But it is just a step. The Board must be perpetuated. The agricultural industry must have greater all-round price protection. There must be no return to the laissez-faire methods. An aroused agriculture can make progress by uniting its strength. The best way to do this is to build up farm organizations and co-operatives,

BSSAY ON CATS
The following essay on ‘“Uats’’ was turned in by a ten year old pupil:
Cats and people are funny animals Cats have four paws but only one Smother} People have forefatheys
but only one mother.
Whe n cat smells a rat, he gets ex- cited. So do people.
Cats carry tails and a lot of people
carry tales also.
All cats have furry coats. Some people have fur coats and the ones who don't have fur coats say catty things about the ones who do have them.
“Now," said the professor, “what can you tell me about the age of Eliza- beth?”
Student: (dreamily) “Eighteen in May.”
®@ In this highly competitive age, only the necessary and indispensable survive—there is no place for, nor patience with, fifth wheels.
Down through the years, as the result of exacting demands, the present local implement retail outlet has evolved as the most efficient and valuable contact between farmer-customer and implement maker.
It is doubtful if, in any other line of business, the man at the retail end renders as technically expert and helpful service to his customers at so low a cost as does the local Implement Dealer. This, while it has always been so, has greater significance in these days of more highly mechanized farming, calling for training and experience in the servicing of modern machines.
His experience with machines enables him to give time and money-saving service in the speedy furnishing of the correct part when repairs and replacements are required—for delays in seeding, haying or harvesting may result in substantial loss to the farmer. In those crucial seasons his warehouse is open practically at all times, and he is untiring in playing his part to prevent farmers suffering from delays.
His accumulated knowledge of methods being used and of the experiences of the many farmers he calls on and associates with makes his advice helpful and valuable.
He is generally a highly respected citizen—active in promoting the highest interest of his local community. He is a tax-payer. And more than likely his whole life has been devoted to the business he is in... it is his livelihood.
Difficult times, especially for farmers, have subjected to criticism most of our established institutions, Prices of all things are relatively high when purchasing power is curtailed. Dis- tribution, which most naturally accounts for a seemingly high percentage of the cost of things, is felt to be excessive. When taken apart, however, each of the items represents necessary services, none of which is found to be overly profitable. Farm Implement Dealers do not enjoy margins which yield more than a reasonable and moderate living.
Since the early pioneering days, through all the vicissitudes of farming, the Implement Dealer has shared the hardships as well as the fortunes of farmers, rendering a worth-while service, establishing a well-founded place for himself in our economic scheme, and so nobly acquitting himself —A Most Valuable Citizen.
