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 maintenance of sound money and permission reasonable reasonable there will investors Canadians will do the job. 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 tion.” whereas such conse- the of and to Town Topics Mrs. visited with Mr. and Mrs. Marshall over the week-end.
