THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
The other day a friend sent the
writer of this paragraph the fin -
anode' statement of a brewing
company. It was the record of
another successful year. There
were substantial dividends for
directors and stockholders. What •
the report did not mention was
the Toss suffered by those who
consumed all the liquor. That's
the story of strong drink--enor-
mous profit for those who make
it and grievous loss for those who
take it. Moreover the public is
becoming increasingly concerned
over the mounting bill of loss,
chargeable against strong drink.
There are too many crimes caus-
ed.by drinking—too many high-
way accidents caused by drinking
— too much work-time lost by
drinking—too many homes brok-
en up by drinking—too much im-
poverishment and degradation
caused by drinking. How long
before the people realize that
they are on the losing end of the
bargain with the liquor traffic?

THE DEVELOPMENT of markets for farm -
products must go hand in hand with produe-
top if the fermer is to prosper, and the work
of the Daire Farmers of Canada in promoting
the sale of Dairy preductsis an important
step in the development of inarkets. This is
the comment of Hon. T. L, Kennedy, Ontario
Minister of Agriculture, regarding the promo-
tion carried out by the Dairy Farmers and fin-
anced through the June, set-aside.
He 'added that he 'felt it was a healthy
sign when a farm organization financed such
a project from money contributed by the
membership, rather than turning to someone
else to do the job,
Regarding 'the set-aside which will be
CANADA 'has been underwriting a larger
share of its owes development in the current
Period than in times past. This conclusion is
reached by the Bank of Montreal's current
Buiness Review in analyzing the movement •of
capital into Canada,
However, the report emphasizes that,
"while something, like one-seventh of this
country's recent growth has' been financed by
external capital, a somewhat 'larger proportion
of the total outstanding investment in Canadian
government and industry is externally held."
(By It. J. DEACHMAN, ex-MP for
Huron North)
MY MIND goes back to the time when I
began to understand What an election really
meant. It happened in 1891. True there were
earlier elections but my impressions of 1691
are fragmente from memory, not something
picked up after the event. To tell the truth
at that time I could name the parties but
hadn't the haziest idea what they stood for--
in my mind they were neither red nor blue
but something of an ever-changing hue, one
thing when they were in power—something
else after election! *
I had, of course, no vote. I was far too
young. I do "recall, however, one earnest boy-
hood wish of mine, it was that the years
might have wing's and thus hasten the day.
My politics, aside from an inheritance from
my Scotch ancestors, were gleaned from the
comments heard on the straw stacks during
the threshing ',season.
Believe me, opinions varied widely, espec-
ially on' that always fruitful source of discus-
sion, the protective tariff. Men had strongly
fixed opinions on that subject. They talked
about it when-they were awake, dreamed about
it when they were asleep.
The, meetings were different. Men and
women had definite' ideas. There was not then
the slightest conception of the welfare state.
We were convinced if we anything we
had to work for it. That, of course, was in
the dark days, 1896 B.M. (Before Martin).
Much water has gone down the Ottawa since
that time but not mitch is left for future states-
men to consider. Politics will be an 'arid sub-
ject—everything worth doing will soon be done
—the people will reap the harvest they have
sown—whatever that means!
I was born in Huron County. Dr. Peter
Macdonald held one of the Huron constituen-
cies. I remember one night in a small town
he was making a fiery effort and he could
do et! Suddenly someone in the audience
shouted out: "Doctor, what's the duty on pills?"
There was no hesitancy in the answer: "35
per cent"—do you need a -box?" The crowd
gave vent' to one wild roar, then he went on
just as smoothly as if there had been no
interruption — that is after quiet had been
restored!

made during the month of June to finance this
program, Mr. Kennedy pointed out that Oritaiio
dairy farmers constitute one of the most pro-
gressive groups of farmers. He felt sure they
again would demonstrate this progressiveness
t,sy authorizing theeseteaside from their returns
which is being requested by the Dairy Farm-
ers of Canada to finance this promotional work.
Since Ontario accounts for the production
of more milk than any other Province, the
Ontario dairy farmers stand to gain consider-
ably from the campaign to increase the use of
dairy products. Thus he said, supporting the
program by authorizing the set-aside is not
only in the interests of the whole Canadian
dairy 'industry, but in the interests of the in-
dividual producer in Ontario.
Working from recently disclosed official
figures, the B of M notes that, for the first
time since the early 1930's, Canada experienced
overall trading deficits on current account in
both 1950 and 1951. It points out, however,
that this situation ended about the third quar-
ter of 1951, and that, for at least six months
to the end of March in this year, Canada has
again been. paying her way in current inter-
national transactions,, "a factor which is of con-
siderable significance in accounting for the
recent strength of the Canadian dollar."
How can we explain the changes which
have come over the mines of these people?
They are only vaguely interested in the
politics of today. You could get 200 people to
a public meeting in the distant past; you will
now do well to get 25.
What brought about these changes? Is it
the difference in the issues' or what has hap-
pened? For one thing people no longer be-
lieve that great problems can be settled by
political.'" parties. If there had been giants
among our statesmen in the past would things
have been different—better or worse today?
I doubt it! Besides the leaders of that time
were giants. The problems they handled were
smaller but they appeared as mountains to
the men of those days, Macdonald, Laurier,
Fielding and Cartwright were by no means
pygmies, The issues with which they dealt
seem small to us now because we are con-
fronted by wider horizons—but Confederation
and the building of the CPR were great prob-
lems, would be great issues even in our time.
Today there is no such clarity to our concep-
tions. Time has brought too many pictures to
our minds. We lose ourselves in the mists.
Then in those days the world was not always
tottering on the brink of war. True we had
Many wars but the impact of the contending
forces did not threaten to wreck a continent—
or a world. From 1896 to 1914 was not a long
period as time is measured but it was stag-
nant. Few dreamed that our placid age Would
be broken by one of the greatest wars of
history.

The curious thing about the old straw
stack discussions was that there were no
neutrals. Men were clear cut o party issues;
they were of one party or the'other: They,
could go back over half a century, recount
the struggles of the old days. They were
interested in American politics. W. J. Bryan
was one of the` fig features of political life
in those days. Free silver, sixteen to one
and "nothing to ate" as someone expressed it.
They knew too a great deal about English and,
of course, Irish politics but there were mighty
few neutrals among them, Today people are
. more or less indifferent, they have lost faith
in all parties. The general reaction is to say:
