Lately we have heard of the shipping industry at an important centre being, held yp by loiter­ ers. These men are worse than strikers, for they appear in the form ■of workmen and are given workmen’s jobs, while in reality they are hinderers. Were they strikers we‘ know what could be done about it. But what is to be done with the man who has tools in his hands and who seems to be at his post but it not carrying on? In reality, he is Hitler’s best ally, and he should be treated as such. ft • * p * « a * ■ % Everyone Has Something to Sell Mother has a job of selling ‘refin- ment’ and ‘social1 position to the family.

But, after all, theory that is based on sound reasoning is worthy of attention.

We have wondered about this a good deal. Why all that clattering and banging when a play programme is put on? We are at a loss for a word to describe the intrusion of clanging,' jangling, ear-bat­ tering and bumblings that come in when one is trying to get the sense of what is being said. One thinks he is going to listen in on a nice play only to have his eardrums pssailed by a quadrupled conglomeration of noisy hideousness that makes enjoyment of the play an impossibility, to hold the respect of The radio had.- better reform itself if it is a reasonable public. *1 and named after great Pert and Pertinent “Money velocity is a business in-, dicator,” says an economic author­ ity. —if the initial velocity with which it departs is maintained1, the im­ pact must be terrible. “Sandwiches were sai4 to have been invented John, Earl of Sandwich,, a gambler, who rebelled ■ against re­ gular meals and ordered his wait­ er to prepare for him pieces of meat laid between two slices of bread.

THOSE WAGES There has been talk for some time about regulating prices and wages. At last the Government has taken the step and there are many arguments in its favor. For instance, we do not see why one man' should be paid^ten dollars a day for making bullets while an­ other man is paid a dollar thirty per day for stopping them. Nor do we see why one man should be paid fifteen hundred dollars per year for talking about the ten commandments occasionally while another man is paid five hundred dollars per year for keeping (them every hour of the day or else........ We do not see why one man • should be paid ten dollars'per day for making schools for soldiers while another is paid two dollars per day for producing food to keep him alive.

Do we mean by essential things what is essential to control of the ballot box or the cash box ofs some special person or company, or de we mean wnat is essential to the safety first and afterwards the welfare of .the commonwealth? We should be clear on this point. Are we just' talking big, using fine phrases that have no meaning 'whatsoever, except as they have power to cover up-the bulge made by the tongue in the cheek or to keep the eye of the plain, burden-bearing, tax-paying citizen off the nest-featherers ? r~' ‘ ” lowed and who practise his doctrine,, still are abroad, necessary, we -could name Sold this minute that are the country. I WHY We’re all out for this thing of rationing gasoline., A great many are playing the game anyway. These good citizens use gaso­ line only for necessities. They are to.be commended for so doing. Those who' spend gasoline for pleasure purposes are.^ closely ajun to fifth columnists. B,ut what of those who use gasoline for pur­ poses that are a detriment to the public interest? We’re not going - to read the public a temperance lecture, though we miglit be .worse employed. What we are'asking is why those heftvy,b£Qr distributing trucks should be allowed to peddle gasoline about the country? Beer, as a food, is a negligible quantity. Tn no sense is it a neces­ sity-. It may give pleasure to some parties but it brings misery to others. It clothes no one exqept 'its makers and its vendors. It is a luxury to-, say the best that can be said in its behalf, then, should gasoline be earnest about this saving sible. LET US HAVE THE FACTS ■Foi’ some time Canadians have been told that there is a shortage of oil and gasoline and of tankers to convey the gasoline and oil.. In view of this situation the federal authorities appealed th the people of Canada to go the limit in saving gasoline. Last week an> oil company issued a statement to the effect that there was a short­ age of neither oil noi’ gasoline noi’ of conveyors. Since then the authorities have issued a statement denying the' allegations of the oil -company referred to. What the Canadian public wants is a statement of the facts. Is there or has there been at any time a shortage -of transfer facilities? In the statement issued by the oil company referred to, it was insinuated, at least, that me plea made by the government for ftie conservation of gasoline and oil was under something like7the pressure of the larger oil companies? What we wish to know is this: Do the -largei' oil companies sit in, either directly or indirectly with the oil controllers, and do the government officials heed the bed-k and nod and the demands of such sitters-in? The whole situation must be cleared up. The is fair and patient-, but it has a keen respect for to Mr. Mackenzie- King to clear up this affair, simply will hot do. Canadian public facts*. We look Half measures & Every, so often we are urged by serious men to mind the step in regard to the war. When the war broke in its fury, the govern­ ment realised that the public must be assured that victory would come to the allies, no m'atter how dark_the clouds of war might hang on every international horizon, chosen leaders. Later on the _ lie was taking things easily and was resting sweetly on downy complacency. Just now the governments are anxious to have the public realize that the democracies are faced with, a real danger. Some hard facts are being administered in the placebo/ diplomatic soothing syrup. In other'words there are-some things that that good natured fellow, George, is not doing and that he is not going to try to get done. But not only is the publie complacent but it is becoming cynical. It is sayings “As soon as the ‘interests’ get what they want, the war will be called -oYf.” 'In view of .two things the public should realize that Britain and her allies are confronted by an enemy, cruel and efficient, with but one will, and that will the ruin of the Hl'itislU’- Empire and the downfall of the United Stated Hitherto/;this enemy has been victorious.
