The Ontario Temperance Federation is preparing a series of educational advertisements. The police are still taking action against intoxi- cated drivers and bootleggers. The magistrates are registering convictions against law-breakers. The Provincial government is establishing cure centres• for al- coholics. So the battle goes on. For this liquor traffic is an enemy of the public good, and the edu- cators and the legislators and the officers of the law are not hay- as much on taxes as on food.

That speech was perhaps the most perfect of its kind ever to fall from, human lips. It was courageously simple, so unconventionally brief, yet so complete, that little could lie ad- ded or taken away. "It is for us, the living to be dedicated ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS AGO the sub- )ect of cheaply-manufactured Japanese goods flooding the Canadian market was a topic that generated some heat in this country. Although Ottawa invoked anti-dumping regulations, some Canadian workingmen found themselves with- out work when the goods they made couldn't be sold ,here in Canada at the price of com- peting goods made in Japan and shipped into our market. Currently the subject of trade with Japan has revived the memories of pre-war incidents and, to some extent, is regenerating the heat. Having regained her sovereignty, Japan seeks a trade treaty with Canada which would allow her goods into this market under a' favored-nation agreement. Businessmen who import Japanese goods favor the application. IT IS GOOD to be able to welcome Hon. Leslie Frost, Q.C., M.L.A., Premier of On- tario, to the select. but growing ranks of Canadian political realists. Speaking recently to a deputation from the Association of Ontario Mayors and Reeves, Mr. Frost said: "Under no consideration would he recommend that the tax-payer be asked to share any more tax burden in order to absorb municipal welfare relief, child welfare, hospi- talization and institutional care by the provin- cial government." This is a promising start in a return to the sound principle that spending bodies should have to raise their own funds. Only by mak- ing municipalities bear their own civic burdens can there be any hope that these will be kept within bounds. The same principle might well be applied in the field of organized welfare, As it is to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that those dead shall not have died in vain." That surely is the only way to worthily honor the memory of these who "fell with their faces to the foe" in both wars "that freedom might not perish from the earth." Ottawa has warned that Japan must find ex- port markets if she is to survive; also, that Japan cannot continue as a buyer of Canadian raw materials if we do not take more of her manufactured products. Labor leaders and businessmen recall previous Canada - Japan trading experience and warn that Japan will once more flood our market with goods pro- duced at what we could consider slave labor wage rates. Canada's best course probably lies in com- promise. Tariff concessions to Japan but not a favored-nation treaty, since that would pro- hibit the use of anti-dumping devices should they ever become necessary. This would in- crease our buying of Japanese goods but would leave us with the right to protect our own industrial employment. now, professional social workers have little responsibility for raising funds. Consequently, there is no practical limit set to their social aims. Under the existing system, businessmen are told what the social workers consider to be the needs of the community, and are then expected to produce the necessary funds by various forms of pressure and solicitation. Another thing that makes Mr. Frost's statement to the Mayors and. Reeves so en- couraging is the fact that here is a Conservative adding his weight in favour of political realism to that of such Liberals, as Messrs. St. Laurent, Abbott, Howe, Gregg—and latterly Paul Martin. Perhaps we have here the start of a New Canadian movement which will yet make eco- nomic realism as politically profitable as' prom- ises of pie-in-the-sky have been over the past decade.
