To the Electors of Oxford Dear Electors: It is now more than ten years since I was firstnominated as the Liberal n® candidate for Oxford,That was in July, 1963and the following June,(in June 1934), I was ;elected to the Provincial Legislature — thanks to S ’ X ' 'the consideration and ||| > ; goodwill of the people of M* <the County. I have there- . |Kfore represented Oxford Ifor more than threeprivate member andfor almost six years asmember and Minister of H n aAgriculture.Especially during my time as Minister, I have -------------------been inspired and encouraged by the confidence repostedin me by the good people of Oxford and in fact by all thepeople of Ontario. I humbly ask for a renewal of-thatconfidence when you go to the polls again on August 4th,next.< During my nine years as your Member, I have triedconscientiously to be a faithful representative. I have always favoured such legislation and administration aswould make for the welfare of private business and en­courage private initiative and legitimate private enter­ prise. I have strived at all times to obtain a better dealfor the farm people and in this connection am humbly ofthe opinion that I have met with some measure of success,for I can fairly* claim to have had a. large part in the intid- . tion of subsidies which have meant millions of dollars in ■the way of increased income to the farmers of Ontario..I am determined farpiers shall never again be allowed toSuffer the conditions which they experienced (Turing thedepression period, - This, I am not sajHnj^because it is election time.’ This, I have said several'tinres publicly'inrecent years. I pledge myself—if returned to office—to see in so far as is in my power that farmers at all timesreceive adequate returns for their products—at all timesa fair measure of profit over the costs of production.During these same nine years, I have oh many occas-ions.been a party to legislative enactments and Orders-in-Council for the betterment of craftsmen, industrialworkers and wage earners generally. I have always favoured and will continue to favour policies which willprovide for full time employment of all workers at fair wages. As a Minister of the Government, I am now amember of the recently established committee on Recon­ struction and Rehabilitation, which must in ordinary jus­tice have as its primary postwar objective, steady em­ployment for all at-decent living wages.Since 1937, it has been mj’ good fortune to be a < member of a Liberal Government that has an honest and 'excellent record •'of achievements; ar-Government that has ’consistently worked toward reducing local taxation, to­ward bringing- financial relief to municipalities and to­ward lightening the burdens borne by the common man. - Naturally, I should like to be re-elected that I maycontinue as a |member of the Government headed byPremier Nixon. I am deeply grateful for your kindlyattitude during my years as your representative. Againmay I ask for a renewal of that confidence. Yours very sincerelyt. • P, M. DEWAN.

The charming young bride, given in marriage by her father, was lovely in her street-length frock of dusty rose sheer with a small halt? of orange blossoms in her hair. She wore white accessories and a cor­ sage of American Beauty roses. The only ornament worn by the bride was her mother’s neckpiece of pearls and cameo. Mrs. Archie Gardham, sister of ‘ the bride, as matron of honor, wore a street length frock of powder blue with white accessories and corsage of Talisman roses.

I The reception and wedding dinner were held at the home of the bride’s parents, at 12.30 o’clock. lhe| bride's mother, lovely in a gown [ of heavenly blue sheer, with corsage anf Johanna Hill roses and white accessories, assisted in receiving the guests as did also the bridegroom’s mother, in a becoming gown of tur­ quoise blue sheer with corsage of Talisman roses and white accessor­ ies. Thc wedding dinner was served | by Miss Joyce Jeffrey, Miss Ruth , Long and Mrs. Clara Foster, girl friends of the bride and Mrs. Dave ! McCutcheon, a cousin. The table ' covered with a lovely lace cloth, i was centred with the bride’s three- story wedding cake. Streamers werearranged from the ornament to the i four corners, where four little bride dolls stood.Later, Mr. and Mrs. Reeves left I ford among showers of confetti for their honeymoon to Hamilton, Toronto and North Bay. On their return they trill reside near Mount Elgin, carry­ ing with them the best wishes of a host of friends for a very happy, long wedded life. Guests were present from Inger­ soll, Salford, Burjressville, Folden’s, New Lawjpn, Aylfiier, Woodstock, St. Catharines and Hamilton. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Berdan was the scene of a pretty wedding on Saturday, July 24th, when Rev. George A. McLean, min­ ister of the Ingersoll Baptist Church, united in marriage their daughter, Martha Annette, to Roy Owen Hoover, son of Mr and Mrs. S. Hoover of Toronto. Given in marriage by her father, the winsome bride wore a floor­ length gown of white embossed satin with long sleeves and sweetheart neckline.

Whether or not the council decides to proclaim the holiday, the Tribune office will be closed all day Monday. Volunteers Wanted For Farm Work Probably due in some degree to the fact that grain acreage inathisdistrict is smaller this year, appeals through the local organ izationfl for farm help have been fewer thusljrenr than last. It is felt, however, that appeals will be more numerous when grain harvesting becomes more gen­ eral.The labour shortage on the district fams will be more sharply felt in coming harvest and it is hoped that the town people will volunteer gen­ erously to assist in the vital work. A lovely wedding was solemnized on Monday, July 19, in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Belleville, when Bernice Ella Cordon, daughter of Harry I. Cordon, became the bride of George A. Crown, son of Mrs. A. Crown of Ingersoll. Regal lilies decorated the church and formed a beautiful background for the cere­ mony which was performed at 11 o'clock by Rev. J. G. Hornsby. PTof. Hunt waa at the organ and during the signing of the register, played, “Because." The lovely young bride was given in marriage by her father. Her white slipper satin bridal frock was made with a tight-fitting lace bodice with sweetheart neckline. Her graceful finger-tip length veil fell from a ■ Juliet cap and she carried a bou-1 quet of red roses and gypsophelia. | The bridesmaid was Miss Evelyn * Johnson, who was charming in a ‘ dress of azure blue net over corded I taffeta with a Mary of Scotlandheaddress and pink chapel veil.

The major problem at present, states the Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Can­ ada, ia to maintain the highest sum­ mer egg production in order to satis­ fy domestic demand and meet the British contract. The increase in Canadian consumption of eggs led to the request of the Minister of Agri­ culture on June 6, 1943, that Can­ adians voluntarily reduce their con­ sumption of eggs during the next few weeks in order to help meet the United Kingdom needs. A decrease of two eggs per person per week has been suggested, and a decrease from 12 to 9 eggs per week has al­ ready been made effective in the ra­ tions of the armed forces in Canada. The Special Products Board pur­ chases all quantities of eggs offered by producers at the announced pricw per locality.

Mail From Overseas Forces Brought Here By New Service Montreal, July 26—A large mail ' from the members of the armed , forces of Canada servifig overseas ' arrived here Sunday by the Canad­ ian Governent trans-Atlantic air ser- i vice operated by T.C.jy The flight : of the big transport plane was a non­ stop one from Britain to Montreal, ' said Trans-Canada 'Air Lines offic- 1 ials. and brought naval, military (and air force personnel and technic­ ians on special missions to Canada ■ in addition to upwards’ of 3,000 pounds of mail from the officers andmen m the overseas forces. At the I Airport Post .Office tho mail was quickly cleared for various pointe ift Canada. The flight from Britain to Mon­ treal was made in fifteen hours, and, using the connecting T.C.A. planes, some of the official person­ nel were in Toronto eighteen hours after leaving the British Isles, and in other Canadian cities within twenty-four hours. JThe T.C, A. crew which flew the transport was headed by Captain M. B. Barclay, with Captain R. M. Smith as co­ pilot,"’H. Thomas as navigation" offi­ cer and A. J. Blackwood as radioofficer. The passengers arriving1 on the plane stated that the new Canadian , Government trams-Atlantic air ser­ vice had attracted widespread inter­ est in 'Britain and was hailed as mar­ king a great advance in the trans­ portation facilities between the two parts of the Empire. It was also warmly welcomed by all the fighting forces of the Dominion engaged in the European and African theatres of operation as providing a s-pcedy' Hall on Thursday evening by the 1 Progressive Conservative Associa- ‘ tion in the interests of Thomas R. ' Dent, the candidate for Oxford. 1 Mr. W. L. Nagle, president of the 1 local association, presided over the 1 meeting?* Speeches were delivered by Mr. Dent, Mr. W. A. Calder, ! Woodstock, and Mr. A. R. Douglas,' > K.C., London. J Mr. Wm. Calder was the first I I speaker. He stated that it "was a|l pleasure to speak in the interests ' : of Mr. Dent, who was a man of ac- > tion and had proved his ability as a 1 'successful dirt farmer. Mr. Calder ,expressed the thought that it was ' time Oxford was represented at To- i ronto by a real dirt farmer as Ox- is prominently a farming county. In referring to Mr. Shelton’s re­ marks on Monday evening at the Liberal meeting, that Mr. Dewan was , a “real servant”, Mr. Calacr said that servant was one that follows the orders of others, “but we want a man who will lead, not follow.” “But we must give credit where credit is due.v continued Mr. Cal­ der and referred to the fact that. Mr. Dewan had obtained a fine farm near Ingersoll and also interests in a tobacco farm. “How many of you farmers have acquired as much during these same years?” the speaker inquired. “I wonder if Mr. Dewan is so in­ terested in your educational system here as he is in that of Woodstock’s, for his children drive past yout door to go to school at Woodstock, Why does his truck drive to Wood- stock to sell his milk produce when you have good dairies, here? If he is so interested in our war effort and the conservation of rubber and gas, why docs he drive needlessly these 18 miles per day?” continued Mr . Calder. Mr. Calder stated that Mr. Dewan had become one of the best political tightrq^e .walker#.

First toss them, with the rest of the fam­ ily wash, into rich suds that give the “whitest wash”. Then when they’re dry you can easily see which stains are apparently there for good, and cut around them. The good portions of a tablecloth can be cut into circles, or rectangles for use ns doil­ ies. Using a crochet hook and linen thread, do a buttonhole stitch or pique stitch all around. Cut into squares and hemmed, the pieces be­ come napkins. In cutting, the scis­ sors should follow the thread in each direction, so the napkins won’t get lopsided after being laundered. Or these pieces of cloth can be made into soft dish towels that are almost lintless—ideal for drying glassware. Be sure, also, to keep some of the Miss Margaret Moyer whose mar­ riage took place yesterday, was the guest of honour on Monday evening at a miscellaneous shower at the home of Mrs. Clarence Todd, Wel­ lington street.

As the I bride-elect entered the room the wedding march was played by Miss- Vera Cable. Miss Moyer received many beau­ tiful gifts. Among these was a wal­ nut end table and magazine rack from members of the Companions of the Forest, of which Miss Moyer is a member. The guest of honour ex­ pressed her appreciation of the lovely gifts and kind wishes of her friends. Dainty refreshments were served by the hostess, her daughter, Miss Velma Todd, Mrs. Irene Antony and Mrs. Harry Abbott.

In households of two or three people you will find it more advan­ tageous to serve meatless meals a couple of times a week. Tou can re­ place the meat by foods such as eggs, cheese, fish, poultry, which are in the same category nutritionally. Eggs are important in our diets because they provide us with the supper you could use part of youri weekly supply this way. I Do not cook the eggs at a high : temperature as the whites become tough—you should always use a moderate, even heat for all types of egg cookery. Eggs are readily and completely digested when properly cooked. You will find eggs a great asset to your menus not only for their palat- ability but also because they can be used in a variety of ways. Eggs are used as: 1. Main dish—souffles, omelets, casserole dishes. 2. Leavening agent—in sponge cakes. The egg white holds air beaten into it and forms a foam. If necessary, half the amount of eggs in a sponge cake may be re­ best quality protein, essential min­ erals and vitamins A. D, Bl and B2.

Put the question to anormal cliild, anywhere on the face of the earth, and there could bebut one answer.' Who were they that interested and delighted you mostin that golden age? There were men and women saintly, truly so, andI regret to say that I didliot like them. There were the supremely con­scientious persons, whose worth and grandeur I can now see, and theyimpressed me then as among the gloomiest and most unattracthe people in the world. They took the brightness out of the day, the zest outof life. What is kindness? The word is one of the very greatest in our language. It has suffered a good deal from misuse. It is the great,vital expression of all excellence, the deepest root of the noblest human­ ity, .and its consummate flower. Kindness is the sense of the greatnessand pathos of human life. The sense of greatness of life comes first.Life is so great from every point of view,—its achievement, loss, sin,capacity, hope,—that the poetry which prefers nature to man seems to me mere vaporing. The kind man cannot look upon this vast scene of error and painwithout pity. His heart is moved with compassion. He beholds the sorrow of the world; it becomes his sorrow. It is this that makes himthe pure and tender friend that he is. He lives near to the sufferingsouls of his fellow men; he sees the wreck and the heartbreak in life;he notes the swiftly passing beauty of it all,— “like the rainbow’s lovely form ,Evanishing amid the storm,”— and his compassionate heart elects to suffer with his kind and wait in benign pity upon its need. There is a world of pain that need not be; a world born of sourlooks, ungracious speech, unmanly action, a world that harrows the hearts of millions. ‘ Kindness wipes that vast and dismal world out ofexistence.—From “Our Dumb Animals”.

But those of us who are able to get away—even for a few days— will undoubtedly be anxious to bring back many good pictures. And we can do it too, if we remember one or two little pointers and apply them to our snapshooting. Here’s tile trick. First, make yourpictures tell the whole story of your vacation from beginning to end. in­cluding the place you visit, the things you do. and the people youmeet. Second, make each indlri&ual picture as clear and interesting asyou possibly can so that it will hold the attention of even a stranger. Study the vacation snapshot print­ ed here. In viewing It, you’re the“stranger" mentioned above. You've never seen this particular spot—al­though you may encounter one like It on your coming vacation. Yondon't know the fisherman Involved. Yet. for all that. I'll bet it was thepicture over this column that first caught your eye, and Interested you in this subjectThe .reason that the picture did that Is very sitnple. For, in additionto being a pleasant scenic of thetypo we'd all like to make during our vacation, it tells a definite story. Any picture that tells a story hashuman interest And human Interest Is the quality In a snapshot whichmakes it appealing. * You may say that the photogra­pher was lucky—that he just hap­ pened upon the fisherman and thescene. Maybe so. but there's no rea­son why this picture couldn’t have been , planned with the fisherman posed on the end of the log. just toadd point and interest to the scene.To take a tip from this photogra­ pher—try to include one or more figures In all of your vacation scen-ics; try to make each of your pic­tures tel] as definite a story as does our illustration; and then use your snapshot collection to tell the wholestory of your vacation. YouH find that your holiday pictures will befar more appealing if you think be­ fore you shoot John vah Guilder THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1943 rage 5 Better Vision is a Worker's b^t Friend.

Appointed Optician* to our Military, Naval and Air Force* SOLDIERS’ SERVICE AVAILABLE TO FARMERS Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, Minister of Labour, recently announced that on July 24th he had telegraphed the Premiers of the Provinces, asking co-operation with the Dominion in the plan to place soldiers from Army units stationed in Canada, at season­ al farm work. The plan has been worked out in co-operation with Hon. J. L. Ralston. Minister of Na­ tional Defence. The telegram reads as follows: ••The Departments of National De­ fence and Labour are working on a plan which would pennit the detail­ ing of certain men in the Army in Canada to farm labour. This is in addition to what is commonly known as compassionate farm leave. The plan under consideration contem­ plates detailing of men to specific farms, and during that period so de­ tailed their pay and allowances in the Army would be continued. It is proposed that the plan be worked out under the existing Dominion- Provincial Farm Labour Agreement and that the Provinces share in the responsibility and administrative ex­ pense. It has been suggested that which the farmer will engage the soldier’s services, but the wages will not be paid by the farmer directly to the soldier. The soldier will con­ tinue to draw his regular Army pay, and any allowance to his dependents will also continue, but after his re­ turn to his unit the man will be given any additional money which he may have earned, over and above Army pay and allowances. The employing farmer on the other hand, will be re­ quired to pay in full the wages, which the man earned, to agents representing the Governments of the Provinces and the Dominion, and the money collected will be turned over to Army Paymasters. It is ex­ pected the farmer would be required to guarantee full wages for the per­ iod during which a man is engaged, regardless of weather or other work­ ing conditions. Hon. Mr. Mitchell stated that there had not yet been opportunity for all provinces to reply to his offer, but those which have replied have been in favour of the plan. The Minister said he confidently hopes that the provincial governments will undertake the scheme on a fifty­ fifty partnership basis with the Do­ minion. The Minister of Labour contin­ ued: “The Minister of National De- CANADIANS INVADE SICILY—TAKE BEACH-HEADS WITH EASE New-type barges bringing their cargoes of nun and supplies almost onto the beaches, carried invasion-trained Canadians into the assault on S icily where shore gun positions were taken withlightning speed.

Under the Dominion;Provin­ cial set-up we would require to col­ lect the ampunt owing by the farmer and pay it to the National " Defence Department. Under no circumstances could a soldier collect it. I would like you to ayjhorkc me by wire to the effect your Province approves and agrees to share in responsibility and administrative expense ( including transportation and other incidentals ^»nd loss there might be in collection of'wages from farmers.” Under the plan it is proposed that farmers will '. be invited to advise the Governments of their labour re­ quirements: the government agencies dealing with the matter will be named later, These requirements will be notified to the Army, and District Officers Commanding will direct .Army personnel to proceed to the .farms to fill the vacancies. While the soldiers will remain under military discipline and orders, they will work for the farmers in the same manner as civilian farm workers. Rates ’of pay are being fixed, at ious that the plan should succeed, and they are giving every possible assistance. Various other measures taken have assisted in relieving farm labour shortages up to this j time, and the present plan should meet the greater part of extra hur- ; vest requirements. Safeguards will be provided, of course, to look after ! the interests both of farmers and , soldiers.” i It is expected to put the plan into ; operation immediately. No estimate of the number of men who will‘be , sent out by th* Army cap be arrived at until the farmers have advised of their needs. The new plan does not interfere ' with the previous system of men in the Army being given compassion­ ate leave to return temporarily to their own farms or to those of rela­ tives: applications made by soldiers for this compassionate have will stilkbo considered b^-Army officials.

The Gen­ eral spoke for 50 minutes, without notes.

The Restigouche river, unsurpassed for its scenic grandeur, has beer, ranked as the world’s finest salm­ on river. By a clever stroke of Nature the redish-tinted rocks that form the shoreline of the Resli gouehe estuary contain soma of the oldest and most primitive fosstl fish known to science. Many ex­ amples of 'these ancient fish may be seen in the Royal Ontario Museum, j Strange looking creatures they are —some, approximately a foot it length, with paddle-like front fins and with armour plates covering the broad head-shield and part of the trunk. They lived 350 million years ago, in an environment similar tothat occupied by present-day sal­mon. Then as now, this was an es- Ituarine area. With the passage of I time it has been successively dry land, submerged, dry and flooded again. Now, part of it is once more exposed above the sea. The angler who clamber* over the rocks of the Restigouche may well tread on the tomb of the remote ancestors of fish.

Country Editor Shows How Socialism (C.C.F.) Leads to Dictatorship Two-Minute Talks on Socialism (C.C.F.) by George James, Editor Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville Who Will Control The Controllers? In our last talk we asked “Who will control the controllers?” „One of the great strengths of democracy has been that it sought to leave each man to lead hisown life as free as possible from outside inter­ ference, Government or otherwise. The onelimitation on the individual has always been thatthe exercise of his freedom must not interferewith the freedom of others. As life has grownmore complicated, the danger of one man’s free­dom interfering with that of another hasincreased, and we have found it necessary for the State, which represents all the people, to exercisemore and more control, even in peacetime. Sup­ porters of the individualist system recognize this.To ensure that the exercise of power by any individual shall not be excessive, the State, rep­resenting all classes, maintains itself in the position of judge, controller, regulator, arbitrator,and, in the main, it confines itself to these roles.It does, of course, supply numerous public ser­vices such as non-competitive natural monopolies,notably water and light, but it has expanded its from April, 1933 to ................................ was 39,000, mostly by refugees and thousands others “tem-Iporarily admitted."

What will happen if it steps out in a big wayto operate virtually everything itself? If the regulator becomes the mainspring, then whoregulates? The answer can be got quite clearlyby looking at Germany and Italy. In thesecountries', once the political power began to op-erate*the ecBnomic machine it at once?-becameclear that complete regimentation was necessary,with the necessary force behind to make sure that the decrees of the dictatorial power werecarried out. The question of controlling the controllers here, of course, never even arose—who could regulate or control the supreme power in the State? Once the Regulator becomes themainspring then the mainspring has nothing toregulate it. This seems so clear that one wonders why theSocialists do nob see it They do, in fact, seethat there is a problem and try to answer it, butbeing unversed in the practical working of the Government their answer is entirely unpracticaland unrealistic.» They fall back on such state­ ments as "The principle of Cabinet responsibilityor ultimate democratic control must be retained,in the running of State industry.” But any onewho will reflect on the way Government is carriedon will realize that “ultimate democratic control’*must be entirely confined to principles and poli­cies and cannot possibly have to,.do with the de­tails of day-to-day business. In^thej- words, afew men comprising a committee of Parliament(the Cabinet) must make all the ^day-to-day de­cisions. ’ - BUDGET AS AN EXAMPLE Take as an illustration the budget. We allknow that in practice (and it is the only practicalway) the Minister of Finance and his expertassistants prepare the budget, that it is approved *by the Cabinet, and then goes before the Parlia­ ment, where the’Government majority puts itthrough. Under the, socialist plan, instead of the Government confinihg itself in the main to regu­late measures to direct and control other people,it will be carrying on the great bulk of the nation’s business itself, and to suggest that therewill be “ultimate democratic control” is merely playing with words. Frankly, the situation is thata few men, without any one to control them, willrun the whole show. There will be no one to control tl]e controllers, and remember that theproposed controllens almost fertainly.witf be men without any practical experience in affairs. Andyet they are ready to assume responsibilities from which competent men with a lifetime of trainingand experience would shrink.' How Socialism Affects The Farmer In this talk we shall deal with socialism as itwould affect farmers. After stating that the major proposal of socialism, is the public owner­ship and operation of such things as banking,railways, flour mills, pulp -and paper, heavy chemicals, the Research Committee of the Leaguefor Social Reconstruction, in its book, “Democ­ racy Needs Socialism.” says: “Agriculture, retailtrade industries which are really competitive, and small businesses will probably continue for sometime to be privatelj- owned, although their output and its distribution will be related to the nationalplan.”It will be cold comfort to the farmer whowishes to have some control over his own affairsto be told that “probably”—not certainly—he will be left in control of his own land. It will bestill colder comfort to have the words “for some time” added. There is, however, one certainty—that is, “output and its distribution will be rt- lated to the national plan.” PART OF CONTROLLED SYSTEM What is meant by the phrase, “related, to thenational plan”? It means, of course, that it will be part of a controlled system. It could not beotherwise, because the final objective of social­ism is the control of production and distribution. In other words, the farmer may continue to pro­duce but the Government will look After the busi­ ness end by taking over and controlling thedistribution of his products. All tfiis is to be done whether the individual farmer likes it or not. Itis obviouq that this totally dUfregards what be­ comes of the farmer’s independence and person­ality as a factor in the life cd the country. MEANS CHECK ON PRODUCTIONThere is another point in this type of control which should not be overlooked. If the bureau­cracy is to know what a farmer is dointf with his products, and is to make sure he places all hisproduction at the disposal of the Governmentagencies, as indicated by “Democracy Needs Socialism,” it will be necessary to check everyfarmer’s production and prevent him circumvent-' ing the Governments arrangements for disposingof it. The “Gestapo” methods which will necessarily have to be used can be left to theimagination. The pocialistH, of course, would question this,Mr.’ T. C. Douglas, Deputy Leader of the C.C.F., for example, Would put it differently. He wouldsay that the Socialist plan means giving workers,'farmers, trade unionists, consumers, a real voicein managing their own affairs. The C.C.F., hesays, wiJFestablish a planned economy, but an economy planned and controlled by the peoplefor the people. Commenting on this, Mr. Bruce Hutchison, the well-known and widely-travelledstudent of public affairs and a close observer ofpolitics, writing in the Vancouver Sun, says:“Whether a C.C.F. bureaucracy would be effic­ient, would represent only the people and remainabove reproach, or whether any bureaucracy willsoon become a force uncontrollable by the people and determined to control the people, is a matterof opinion. But it is only childish to say that Governments can control an economy without abureaucracy or operate without tools.” 1 PLENTY OF EVIDENCE z 7 Mr. Hutchison might have gone further and said that in the last few years in Germany and elsewhere we have hadconvincing evidence of what happens when Governmentsundertake to control economic life. No one who under­ stands that Governments must govern can be deluded by any vague suggestion that there can be direct control fromthe bottom except on broad, long-range matters of prin­ciple and policy. The day-to-day decision must be arrived at by the few and caried out by them through the steadilyincreasing power of a huge and growing bureaucracy.We have already in wartime a foretaste of what that will mean, and we endure it as of necessity in wartime,however much we dislike it. But we should remember thatwhat we have now is a foretaste only of the regimentation and control which we shall have to endure in peacetime Ifthe Socialists have, their way. How Socialism Affects The Trade Unionist There should be no doubt in the mind of anytrade unionist what willlhappen to trade unions in the fully planned economy contemplated bythe Socialists, in which, as pointed out in our first talk, they propose to take over and operate prac­tically the whole means of production and distri­ bution. What will happen is not a matter of con­jecture, We have clear and striking evidencefrom Germany, Italy, and labor elsewhere. Whathappens is that under the fully planned economythe supreme authority, which is also the supreme employer, cannot tolerate any opposition amongits employees, and, therefore, it cannot tolerate any independent employees’ organizations. That is why in Germany it was inevitable that the Nazis should stamp out trade unions, whichthey did promptly, completely and ruthlessly— within six months of coming into power. SOME IN ITALY In Italy it took longer. The outlawing of thetrade unions was not complete until 1925, three years after the Fascists came into power. Thereare. indeed, still tame trade unions in Italy—how tame may be indicated by the fact thatunder the law no trade union official can beelected to office in the union without the consentof high Fascist officials. This makes it clear thatthe trade union continues to exist in name only. Indeed under the Fascist state the trade unionbecomes merely a propagandist and administra­ tive organization under the direction and dicta­tion of the Government. How could it be otherwise?. Trade unions-existto assert and maintain the rights of employees in any negotiations with employers. When therearises an irreconcilable difference it becomes nec­ essary to have recourse to a higher authority,namely, the will of all the people as expressed through Government. This superior will can-harmonize and adjust differences when they arise between employer and employee. But what hap­pens when the higher power takes over the property of the employers and itself becomes thevirtually universal employer? It is perfectly evident to any one who will ponder the (acts thatwhen this happens trade unionism is doomed. Itsfinal disappearance may perhaps be somewhatdelayed, but is nevertheless inevitable. Let us look at the plain facts. Under socialismthe trade union no longer deals with the indiv­ idual employer who is subject to the higherauthority of the State, but it deals with the State itself, the suprerrfte authority. In these circum­stances any negotiation between the trade union and the new employer would be like the negotia­tion between the fly. and the spider. BENEFIT BY EXPERIENCE With the experience of Germany and Italy before us, it ought not to be necessary to labor this point further. Surely it is clear that when socialism steps in at the front door trade union­ism goes out by the back. The union may continue to drag out a shadowy and useless existence as atool subservient to the Government, like the caseof trade unionism in Italy already mentioned, butthat is all. It would be well for trade unionists to ponder these things, and to stop, look and listen beforethey court the fate of the trade unions in Ger­many and Italy. While no one suggests that in this country they would be put down in the ruth­less and brutal xfashion employed in Europe, nevertheless under socialism the trade union asunderstood in this or any other democracy couldnot continue to exist Its disappearance would be the logical outcome of the fully planned economy,and experience in other countries has shown thatit would be folly to expect anything else.

Mr. Douglas felt that elections should not be postponed as it does not lead to a healthy condition If our institutions mean anj thing to us they should be more vital dur­ ing these times. Mr. King wanted the election last year, but Mr. Hep­ burn’s stubbornesa prevented it. The election had arisen due to the dictates of W. L. M. King, who was to use it for a spring board for a eoming federal election if Mr. Nix­ on was successful. The speaker said that he did not want to breed contention, but we should look at the attitude of theprovince of Quebec. The whole his­tory of thia nation haa been bi­lingual and bi-racial. “We English- speaking people have been too easy­ going and have neglected our duty,” Mr. Douglas said. We must maintain the affairs of this prov­ ince, which has been the backbone of British traditions, and make it the leading province and for this reaaqn resented Premier King being under the control of the province of Quebec. “No man in this prov­ ince cata look back at the plebis­ cite vote and not sec how King stands with the province of Que­ bec. “See to it that we put in a gov­ ernment that will promote and maintain British connections in this country. Ontario has full auth­ ority to handle its immigration. Let ua see that our vacant farms aaestocked by people of English des­cent,” the speaker Mid.Mr. Douglas reminded his audience that the provincial government has more to do with them than their mun­ icipal government, dealing with mat­ ters of education, public health, roads agriculture, transportation and natural resources. “It is exceedingly ;mportant that we should not think it can be passed over and not give thought to the people that we send to Toronto,” Mr. Douglas remarked. The speaker then discussed step by step the different pointe in the platform of Mr. Drew, who, he stat­ ed, had presented the first complete' program in some time, for it dealt with basic things. The educational system, with opportunity for all with ability, not with the means alone, the health program, agriculture technical education in secondaryschools, setting up of county boards,natural resources, timberlands placedin hands of a responsible commission, light and power, and rehabilitation were ail explained by Mr. Douglas. Mr. Douglas also mentioned the proxy voting and -believed that its first principle was to prevent the sol­ diers from voting. "King and Nixon know that the vote of the soldiers would be against them,” he said. "I have failed to find anyone who haa received a proxy form from a soldier friend oversea*,” he continued. “There is not one unit of soldier* in England that has voted,” the speaker ■said. Mr. Douglas felt that it presen­ ted an amazing scheme for ballot Stuffing, for how can the scrutineers know that the proxies have come from the real voters. , Mr. Douglas wished Mr. Dent every success and stated that if the peopleexercise their franchise there will beno doubt as to the outcome of theelection on August the fourth. Mr. John Blair, president of the Oxford County Association, extended a hearty vote of thanks to the speakers. DRESSED POULTRY Squab broilers, broilers, fryers, roasters, poulards, capons, ducklings, goslings, young turkeys, Guinea chickens, and stags, according to dressed poultry marketing regula­ tions, are young birds with soft flex­ ible cartilage at the end of the breastbone or keel, and are prepared for market and killed before they are used for breeding purposes. Stags are male chickens approach­ ing maturity, and squab pigeons are young pigeons that have never flown. Through substitution and re-de- aign Canadian industry is saving itself, 2,000,000 pounds of critical metals, 1,760,000 hours of labour for a dollar saving of $1,350,000 annually as well as releasing for new work 264 machine tools. A typical example of material, hours and money savings is the re­ design of the backsight of the Can­ adian army rifle. Originally it was an intricate item of i seven separate parte. Today it is manufactured in one piece at annual saving of 143.800 pounds of carbon steel, 319,000 hours of labour. Production cost has been lowered by $300,000 yearly and 37 valuable machine tools have now gone to another important war job. The backsight of the Canadian army rifle, which consisted of seven separate parts, used to be an intri­ cate item to manufacture before new design' men figured out a change. And this change, which pro­ duces the backsight all in one piece has released 37 valuable machine tools used in the process for other war production work. It meant an annual saving of 143,800 pound? of carbon steel, 319,000 hours of lab­ our and $300,000 in production cost. Officially known as Rifle No. 4, Mark 1, the Canadian army rifle, a version of the British Lee-Eniield backlight save 143.800 pound* iteel. machine tool* for other vital wort. J was originally produced m a Can­ adian plant under Canada’s arms program from standard British speci- ’ fications. The problems at the out­ set were formidable. Canada’s tool industry was small. Skilled work- 1 men had to be found, new workmen trained. And with industry being converted to war production, short- i ages in metal and raw- materials de­ veloped.I In many instances armament spe­ cifications had been drawn up in peacetime, when machines, labour and material were plentiful. The 1 Department of Munitions and Sup­ ply, which had to deal with the pro­ gram as a whole, could see the prob­ lem. If the program was to be de­ layed because of rigid specifications, then the answer was obvious. Modify ; the specifications. 1 The change in design of the army 1 rifle backsight saved substantial quantities of scarce carbon steel, released machine tools and labour. A new trigger guard design allowed it to be made of pressed metal in­ stead of forged metal. The more plentiful metal, zinc, was substituted for carbon steel in the manufacture of the bayonet’ scabbard mouthpiece. Zinc was used in place of brass in making the plate-butt. And other j economical changes, each approved by army authorities, were introduced (into the design of the rifle. VOTE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4 FOR LOWER TAXES - BETTER INCOMES A SECURE FUTURE .

In dealing with Mr. Drew's 22 points, Mr. Calder statql that Mr. Nixon was afraid to put his hands on any one point and was simply condemning the man instead of at­ tacking political objectives as does Mr, Drew. Mr. Dewan stated that the present government has attempt­ ed to do much of these things as mentioned in Drew’s program, but it has failed,” the speaker said. “You have read in the Sentinel- TEflS WEEK GEORGE DREW will speak over all Radio Slations THURSDAY, JULY 29,8-30 P.M.

R. Dent addressed tie ^audience a>;d received three cheers from those present. He expressed his regret that it was necessary to have a provincial election in the midst of a busy sea­ son. We are not responsible for it, but the Liberal government hoped to pull a snap election. It is the, demo­ cratic duty of everyone to carry rt. through to a finish, however. Mr. Dent expressed his regrets that the Liberal government would attempt to defranchise men of our fighting forces. He felt that the man­ ner in which the proxy vote was being carried out U-as absolutely wrong and considered that every soldier should have a vote, for that is the basis of our democratic form of government and that for which our forces are fighting. The candidate said that he/ was not in th election for personal gain and -was appealing as a native’ son, who had mode a partial success in this country as a dirt farmer, andwhile not bpasT^fig, he had practical experience on' executives of farm boards and had represented large organizations of farm groups and had business ideas as well as the experience as a dirt farmer. “If you see fit to elect me. I will look after your interest* to the best of my ability; if not, you will be doing me a favor to leave me to continue the work which I so Jove to do,” Mr. Dent concluded. Mr. 'A. R.

The farmers will welcome the advent of a strong aggressive administration to Queen’s Park—an administration which will employ the most advanced economic and scientific methods to develop and utilize the agricultural, mining, forest, and other natural resources of the Province, to build up a strong provincial economy, furnish steady employment to men and women and establish social security for all classes.

According to the Three Power Pact of December 11, 1941, “Italy, : Germany and Japan undertake each | for himself that none of the partie*. to the present accord will conclude | either armistice or peace . . . without [complete and reciprocal agreement." A year and a half later Mussolini shouted in the face of the Allied invasion his determination to outlast the enemy. And his successor, Mar­ shal Pietro Badoglio, however he may intend to break with Musso­ lini’s policies, endorsed this resolu­ tion to resist, as one of his first offi­ cial pronouncements. There are reasons why resistance! might be considered the logical Ital-, ian answer. The imperial dream has I melted away in the harsh daylight of disaster.. Gibraltar and Suez, the I keys to the Mediterranean, are stillin Allied hands. The African Em-1 pire is lost. Italian influence in Iberia and the Near East is gene completely. Italy’s self-appointed role as successor to the old Austro- > Hungarian Empire in the Balkans is now impossible of fulfilment. ■ Through the occupation of Albania j and the partitioning of conquered , Yugoslavia, Italy did gain nominal | control of the Adriatic shores. But , the rich hinterland is German-ex- . ploited; conquest has been main- , t airfed at monthly toll of hundreds of jKalian lives; and Italian force is evJpywhere reinforced by the Ges­ tapo and German military leader­ ship. On the other hand, the chilling im­ plication of the United Nations' principle of "unconditional surren­ der” hold out no hope that the en­ feebled status of 1943 Italy will be j improved if resistance ceases now, , although the people know they will receive just treatment from the Al­ lies if and when they surrender. Italy’s African ambitions face fur- . ther frustration, for Allied peace- ;makers may not share her vision of (economic Eurafrica. The future of , her Balkan ambitions was indicated . in December 1941, when Cordell Hull declared that die restoration of , a free Albania was inherent in the , Atlantic Charter. If Italy makes , peace, she will have to accept a re­ adjustment of Austrian and Balkan boundaries, and probably the obli­ gation to make some kind of repar- [ ation to Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania, ; . France, The immediate improvement , of Italy’s status seems as' hopeless after a peace as in a continuing war. , Italy’s economic position is equal­ ly depressed. The early years of \ fascism, with the attempt to make I' Italian economy self-sufficient, the ' expenses of five years of war in , Ethiopia and Spain, and the drain of a huge public works programme, ex­ hausted the country's reserves. With her entry into the war she cut herself off /rom 44 of her import markets and 55% of her export markets. Trade with Germany rose from RM 547 million in 1938 to more than 2,000 million in 1941. Payment in kind, particularly, foodstuffs, has de­ pleted the limited Italian stores. Ex­ penditures from the beginning of the war up to the end of June, 1942, have, been estimated as 279,000 million lire, of which not more than 108,000 million lire was covered bi­ revenue. Consequently, in addition tq high taxation, the sale of bonds, and the issue of new currency, it has been necessary to tighten (price controls and lower bonuses of all kinds. The Balkans brought Italy little relief. Balkan industrial production is dominated by I.G. Farbenindustrie A.G. The produce of fertile Croatia, according to a report of October, 1942, is under the direction of f local German, Dr. Kraft. In the ter­ ritory wholly occupied by- Italians, thinly populated a^ it is, and having a low standard-of living, about 35% of the male population before the war were unable to make their own living. Italy lacks coal, iron, copper/ gold, silver. Her only wartime mar­ kets have been Axis or Axis-domin­ ated territories, and lack ~d^ mater­ ials and manpower, inability to de­ velop water power resources, arid concentration on supplying her own war needs, have limited, her indus­ trial output. She has been unwilling ' to eliminate all non-war- industries, following the German policy, because such a measure would make even more probable her emergence from the war as a minor agricultural . country.. If the new Italian govern­ ment. is recognized by • the „ other Axis powers, the Funk-Riccirdi Agreement for joint German-Dalian exploitation of the Ukraine may re­ lieve the present situation. Similarly, an economic agreement concluded between Italy and Japan in January, 1943, for the “pooling of the econ­ omic resources of ths two countries mans arc not weak strategically evenwhere they are weak numerically.For example, although Mussoliniannounced on June 10, 1941, thatthe Italians liad succeeded the Ger­ mans in the occupation of Greece, Germany maintained control of the Greek aerodromes and means of com­ munication, and Gestapo agents re­ mained active. Accordingly, Italy would have cause to fear for more than the half-million Italian labour­ hostages in Germany if she made a separate peace. Her armies of occu­ pation would perhaps be at the mercy of the other Axis troops. They might be exposed, too, to reprisals from both Slavs, whose forces of resistance have already proven their strength, and the French, bitterly re­ sentful of the "stab in the back.” In Italy itself, it has been estim­ ated that only one in ten is a mem­ ber of the fascist party. The last few months have seen declarations and purges, criticism of the administra­ tion from high quarters, and now the overthrow of Musselini. We have heard often that the Italian people are weary of war, were weary of war even before it was upon them. The German forces in Italy are re­ ported to be small—not more than, eight divisions according to one re-, cent estimate. How effectively these’ have been disposed, how strong a , hold the Germans have on Italian in­possible to predict their exact nature' dustry and administration, and how or the means towards their acconi- paralyzing the consideration of the plishment. The 'fact remains that economically Italy is in dire straits. But if Germany, with the resour­ ces of the continent at hand and mil­ itary’ necessity demanding Italy s support, cannot satisfactorily main­ tain it, would it be possible for the Allies to saddle themselves with tee; task? One of the rules promulgated by the Allied Military Government of Occupied Territory in Sicily psi that "When found necessary, inedi-1 cal supplies and food for the desti­ tute will be provided.” How much faith will the Italians have in the Allied interpretation of necessity and even more cogent, in the Allied ability to provale, from restricted... . , . ji-vh h t m.-l iui viuiaui.ni agricuuuresupphes which must be transported lasl Dw cnlhcl, 9latcs the latest issllew.th great difficulty and must oe of thc C u|T cnt R - of A(fricuI shared with the mvadmg forces? turaf Conditions in Canada.

And on March 22, 194T, Mussolini summoned Laval to Rome, presumably to discuss trie disposition of more Italian troops that were to be sent into France to relieve Germans for the Russian front. It would seem that Italy’s collapse might imperil the Axis hold on Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania, and even perhaps France, and the coin­ cidence of French violence in Yugo- slavia and bread riots in France with the battle of Sicily indicates such a possibility.

Slaughtering of hogs and cattle are so far con­ siderably below the respective ob­ jectives, but a substantial increase is looked for in the next few months. Marketings of sheep and lambs are already running well ahead of 1942. To date, the designated overall in- crease in the production of dairy products has failed to materialize, with butter production encouraging but cheese and fluid milk lagging somewhat behind. It appears that egg production is higher for the first six months of 1943 compared with .the correspond­ ing period in 1942, but it is not cer­ tain that volume is yet sufficient to EARLY COPY WILL BE APPRECIATED On many occasions The Ing­ ersoll Tribune has pointed out that write-ups of meetings and other events should be submit­ ted as eariy as possible to in­ sure their publication.
