Swift Current (Sask.) Sun:
“Industrial capitalism” says Pope
Pius, “has stimulated agricul
tural production and raised the
physical and spiritual level of
country people in many parts of
the world.” His Holiness, addres
sing the International Roman
Catholic congress on rural prob
lems, in Rome, on the dangers
that sometimes emerge when in
dustrialization makes its impact
felt in rural areas, was careful to
point out that in countries such
as Russia, where the state dom
inated the entire life of the coun
try under a planned economy,
the degrading influence of in-
'dustrial development almost in
variably had disasterous conse
quences,
quences might be avoided under
the capitalistic system. “It is not
against the capitalist as such
that crticism should be directed,"
he states, “but against the dan
gers that would arise if its in
fluence were to alter the specific
character of rural life, assimilat
ing it to the life of urban and
industrial centres and making
of ‘the country’ a mere extension
or annex of ‘the city’. Marxism,
the Pope points out, provides
most frightening example
“superstition, of technicism
of industrialization pushed
the extremes.” The Pontiff’s
merit the serious attention of
such men as the Archbishop of
Sherbrooke and other ecclesiasti
cal authorities in Canada, some
of whom, through press reports
recently, it is indicated are un
able to recognize the distinction
so clearly drawn by the Pope be
tween capitalism as it exists in
Canada today and the planned
economy of socialism,”
Strathmore (Altaj Standard:
Now that the automobile has fin
ally won over the horse, we
sometimes wonder just how some
of our menfolk get any exercise
at all. No wonder there are so
many people dieting or thinking
of dieting these days.
Clipped: Mr. Noseworthy, CCF
M.P., urged that U.S. capital
would come into housing in Can
ada, if assured that, ‘‘if the pro
jects could be sold, they would
get the capital and take it back
to the United States.” Quite true.
If private investors in housing
were all assured that they could
sell their projects and get then*
capital back, and keep it, with a
reasonable profit on it, it would
not be necessary to look for U.S.
investors. If the Government of
Canada ever goes back to the

The Vernon ( B. C. ) News
gloomily doubts whether the
public yet appreciates the weight
of the burden. ‘‘The new cost of
pensions is equivalent to some
40 per cent of the presents per
sonal income tax. Therefore the
current 2‘0' per cent increase in
income taxes and the social se
curity tax to be levied next year
certainly must take us to the
practical limit of direct taxa

Higher In June
Canadian farmers are getting
higher over-all prices for their
products—at least they were in
June.
The Bureau of Statistics index
on farm prices for agricultural
products—-excluding Newfound
land-moved to a new high of
287.5 in June, compared with
279.4 in May and 264.1 in June
last year. The index is based on
1935-39 prices equalling 100.
i The previous farm price index
peak was 280.8 in March this
year.
The bureau said the June gain
could be attributed to increased
prices for livestock and livestock
products. These more than off
set declines in prices of potatoes
and some grains.
As compared with May there
were increases in all provincial
indexes except for" New Bruns
wick, which fell to 227.4 from
229.4. Other provincial indexes
With May figures in parentheses

Manitoba 285.7 (275.9);
