matter of grineipie
BY J. CARL HEMINGWAY
Some years ago, I think, I told this true. story of hearing a young
Chinese minister tell of one of his experiences in Canada. He was
attending a meeting a d as he was introduced, many remarked
how slim and young he looked. To a Chinaman this was no com-
pliment. In China to be "plump" means you are prosperous, you
have money for plenty of food. To look older than your age is an
indication of wisdom.
You might try telling some of your friends how old and fat they
look. It might give you some understanding on how wars start bet-
ween different cultures,
Last Sunday evening, I attended a service in one of the Kit-
chener churches where Dr. Norman MacKenzie, a returning
missionary from China was speaking.
On one occasion he went out to one of the more remote districts
and worked with the people. They got up at 6:30 a.m. and had cab-
bage and rice for breakfast, They worked until noon and for a
change had rice and cabbage for dinner, Between 6 and 6:30 p.m,
they stopped for supper - cabbage and rice. This was repeated for
the full two weeks.
Some time later he had the opportunity to visit one of the larger
towns and was having his meal in a restaurant and saw a fat well
dressed Chinaman ordering up a luxurious meal. After watching
this man indulge himself with an abundance of food Dr. MacKen-
zie had a shattering feeling for a Christian missionary "I hate that
man".
Hunger can do this to a man.
I don't suppose the poor people hated this fat prosperous mem-
ber of their race because they never saw him. They probably didn't
even dream that such luxury was possible. But that was a good
many years ago.
Times are different now. Education has spread. Many more can
now,read and books are available, Radios can be heard in even
remote villages. Trails of the jets can be seen in the sky by millions
and smaller planes can even be seen over wide areas if the poor
care to look up. They know there is another way of life. Can we
play the ostrich and pretend that the hungry aren't there?
We have gotten away with this for many years but it can't
go on much longer. Many parents now know -that their
children do not have to suffer from hunger if others share what
they presently waste. We hear a great deal about the scarcity of
food and the great need for strict population control while our gar-
bage bags burst and we are hard pressed to find places to bury it.
The poor are learning of this and if denied just might learn to
hate.
There has been quite a fuss about the price of meat, There has
been a boycott on the part of some consumers but the price of cat-
tle and hogs hasn't dropped any more, and compared to many
years, not as much as in previous years at this time of year. I think
the previous high for hogs in Toronto in January was 46c in the
mid-sixties and dropped to 32c around the end of April or May.
This year it is different. There is feed for a certain number of
livestock which will produce a certain number of pounds of meat.
There isn't enough to supply every one so those with money will
pay more and those who haven't that much money will do without
but they could learn to hate couldn't they?
Some years ago my wife and I were married and my bride en-
thusiastically decided to keep books. We had a cottage at Point
Clark for a two weeks honeymoon for $10. (with a path and no
refrigerator) and we spent $10 for "eats,".
We set up house-keeping in a medium• sized house in Brussels
which had been built about five years earlier for $8 per month,
just under 10 percent of my teacher's salary. Food cost us 27 per-
cent of my salary. Believe it or not my salary was above average
income of the community. Before we complain too much about the
high cost of food we should consider therstatistitsqltat MAritd1Vus
food, costs .20 pe rceritt an d rent omer 30Ipercentrbf lattotkOlinttilfie. „ „
Apparently the building trade has decreed what shall be paid
for rent or ownership of having.
Economics, not the farmer is now telling us that food prices
must bear a more favourable relationship with the other things
that consumers buy or the food supply will continue to decrease.
If this happens, how long will it take hate to grow into
revolution?
Surely we can do better than this.
