NOT DECEIVED HERE
The ups and downs that have occurred recently in commodity
prices, and more especially the disturbance in the New York money
market, have aroused misgivings as to the 'continuance of that com
parative prosperity ion which the world was beginning to congratu
late itself. Those misgivings have not been confined to America,
nor, in Europe, to France, troubled.by the problem of stabilizing
the franc. In Britain also much concern has been expressed by
the omission of tihe Government to make visible preparation for a
recurrance of exceptional unemployment.
—The Christian Science Monitor
ACTION COUNTS
While the democratic countries meet and talk the dictatorial
powers walk out and take. For instance, Italy has formally ack
nowledged the puppet state of Manchoukou. Score one for uniting
Japan with the Central Powers. Japan reciprocates by formally
recognizing Gen Francisco Franco, a something-or-other under the
domination of Italy and Germany. The dictatorial and militaristic
bloc thus is steadily tightening its grip across every sea and on the
throat of every government and business enterprise. Meanwhile,
Britain and France and the United 'States grew alarmed, became
red in the face, protested, and tihat was all they did. Japan knew
them and suited herself.

DET US FACE THE FACTS
More Drinking1, Morse Deaths
'The two main parties in the Ontario general election offered
plans for dealing with the.liquor question, indicating that even the
Government is not satisfied with the position. Certainly there is
need for reform when the statistician for the Department of High
ways states that deaths resulting from drunken driving are up
50 per cent, during the past six months. 'Court 'convictions in Tor-
oronto of drunk drivers are also inceased 50 per cent. During the
last 40 months nearly 1,0'00 women and girls have been arrested
in Toronto for drunkenness. Beer sales in the province this year
are up 12 per cent, thus far.
All these facts are related to each other. The situation calls
loudly for redress and very soon.
We made the foregoing clipping and omitted to note the au
thor. However, the words are so t'rue that we pass them on hoping
that the author will not think us discourteous.

THAT HOUSEHOLDERS’ UNION
Lately, the housekeepers of ’Toronto have been forming a un
ion of some sort to keep down the prices of articles 'used in ordin
ary homemaking. Rising prices, these unionists insist, are not
warranted . They believe that some of the price raisers have been
saying something like this: “There are more dollars going; let us
go get them.’’ Householders believe that many of these dollars
are being taken from the household purse without rhyme or reason.
Are they- commencing to see that the .consumer is the butt of every
financial bit of comercial humbug that clever folk can practice?
It’s the consumer who pays the shot every time. It’s the man w'ho
pays in the last deal who pays for the whole thing. When con
sumption of goods ceases, trade dries up. Price raisers will do
well to reflect that when consumers realize that they can and will
when aroused to, do without a great many things, they’ll practice
real merchandising. The consuming public is no longer made, up
of “dumb driven cattle.”

A MISERABLE PRACTICE
Not so long ago a church’s committee was holding a committee
meeting in connection with an anniversary. (Said one of the com
mittee “Let us tap Mackenzie King with an invitation. If he can’t
come, he’ll send us a cheque.” “If you tap him, why not tap M. F.
Hepburn? He’s a good sport,” suggested a second.
Accordingly the invitations were sent. From one prime min
ister came a dignified letter with regrets that he could not be pres-<
ent on the occasion. From the other came a cheque. About a
dozen other public men were similarly “tapped.”
Well, the whole practice is a miserable one, particularly when
it is carried out by churches. There is neither rhyme nor reason
for this unfair solicitation. It belittles the parties asking for the
handout and tempts the solicited parties to add the additional sum
unfairly demanded to “Expenses.” A church that cannot pay its
way without holding up public men should close their doors.
Agricultural Societies and similar bodies are in the same boat.
********
A MISUNDERSTANDING
Just the other day we overheard a remark that is worth pond
ering. .A little group was talking about the practical help the East
ern Provinces (had furnished the dried out areas in Western Canada.
Reference was made to the cars of fruit and vegetables and of
clothing the East had sent out. Something was said, too, about
the work done by the church, in supporting Missions and the sums
that had been contributed by Eastern ministers to support their
suffering brethren in the dried-out areas. A Western youth was
present and commented sofnewhat as follows: “That’s because you
have these things. Wihen I see your fine (bank barns and your
splendid roads and <,he fine houses you live in and the good things
you enjoy, I cannot but wonder tihat you have not done a whole
lot more for the West than you have done.”
Au old farmer replied: “Young matt, you don’t understand.
Those buildings are not all paid for. Those of us who have paid
for tihe things you mention are trying hard to get the money back
we invested in them. I .know this community pretty well. If the
truth were known, you would discover that a- good many of us are
pretty hard up. A man’s not well off because he wears glasses or
carries a wooden leg. Tihese things are evidences of his necessities.
These bank barns are grim necessities. We simply must have them
but they come out of our living. They are a part of our overhead
that is making farming so difficult to make profitable. Yow’re
jumping to conclusions—always a dangerous praotide.’*
We Commend this farmer’s remarks to all Canadians. A
farmer considers himself well off if he is making ends meet. If
at the end of a ten-year period he ban get back in -open sale all
he put into his farm premises he regards (himself well off. If, in
addition, to this he and his wife receive each one dollar a day in
cash he thinks of himself as well off. If in addition he has made
five per cent on his investment he thinks .of himself as having the
world by the tail. The assistance given the West grew out of good
will and sacrifice.*
