and practically saying: "Sucker!"
voice within me says: "Aw shad-

time I pay over part of the grocery

Editor, Advanee-Tirees,
Wingham, Ontario.
Dear Sir:
I would like to say a few -words
on the current problem of 'Defic-
iency Payments' to farmers on
h ogs, eggs, and other products of
the good earth,
In my -batik it is not very smart
or wise to deny farmers a reasons

their absolutely essential services
to the 85 per cent of our 17 V: mil-
lion Canadians, at work in the sec-
ondary industries, whos e lives de-
Pend upon them,
Most Canadians have known for
some dears that Canada's farmers
have not been getting their pro-
per slice of the nation's income:-
and now the fact has been official-
ly established by the :report of the
Royal Commission on Price
Spreads (as between the farm gate
anti the city plate!) that primary
producers of food and fiber "have
not been getting their fair share
of the Urban Food Dollar."
Every time X buy one, I kick my-
self. 'Why are you doi ng this?" ,
I ask me in disgust. "Fi rst of
it's a gainst the law. Second, you.
don't give a tiPpler's tart about
helpin g out the Irish hospitals,
Third, if you have the odd quid to
throw around, why don't you give
it to something worthwhile, like
the establishment of a school
where people could learn to smile,
iu twelve easy lessons, attractive
partners; no experience neces-
sary?"
But every time I give myself a

In these circumstances, I see ex-
tra significance in, the recent warn-
in g credited to President Jodoin
of Canada's 1,3 million member
Labor Congress: "Statistics show
that our farmers have not been en-
joying a fair share of the increas-
ed prosperity of our country . ."
. The very te rm "Deficiency Pay-
ments" carries what I would de-
scribe as a built-in criticism, in-
timating indirectly—but nonethe-
less very accurately—that our

slightly .organized farmers are ripe

must deal in the market-place.
indeed, it is true that both
primary and secondary 'producers'
are depen-dent upon their 'custom-
ers', the same principle should ap-
ply to all gainfully employed Can-
adians, rather than to only some
of them. • Yet, only the other day
one of the 'topfli ght American pub-
lic relations men included the fol-
lowing none-too-pleasing note in
a talk on Canadian Agriculture:
"There is not enough reader inter-

Painful aceident on Monday while
loading s. ear of statieS at the
mains of duty, public spirit and good
form. Mere obedience to law does
not measure the greatness of a
nation. The true test is the extent
to which the mlividual can be trust-
ed to obey self-imposed law, This
brings us back, to the question of
ethics, to the question of character.
When we begin to talk about
moral values and Christian ethics
we begin. to touch the conscience of
the individual. Mailltlity begins at
Wine, inn, the attitudes and actions of
private individuals, When. we look
at the magnitu(4, of the problems
which ..confront is we are sometimes
inclined to feel frustrated. We feel
that these lit'ObteillS and questions of
international and national signifi
came, in, the field of politics and
economics., are so tremendous that
as individuals there is little we can
do about them, But when we recog-
nize that the attitudes of individuals
pin and do have a profound and sig
nificant effect on all of the tremen-
dous events which take place about
us then perhaps we get some ink
hug of the importance of our striv-
ing for perfection as individuals in
the moral sphere. This is practical,
it is intimate, it is personal.. If each
one of us, as individuals, takes time
out todo a little introspective think-
ing, to orient ourselves morally, to.
shake ourselves loose from calm ac-
ceptance of what is wrong and what
is evil, then we will have made a
significant contribution to the so-
lution of the challenge of the years
ahead. The standards by which we
operate our own businesses, the way
we raise our families, the discipline
we impose upon ourselves are of
incalculable importance to the future
of our country and the future of
those who follow us.
The challenge and the problem
which faces us as we enter a . new
decade is that of determining wheth-
er or not we are going to continue
to subscribe to those moral and
economic principles which make the
individual important as an individu-
al. If we decide to take no action.
then no progress will be made and
we- shall conthme to slide backwards
away from the principles of freedom.
toward the principles of socialism.
If we do, however, shake off the
lethar,91-y and the complacency and
the ignorance which besets all of us
then perhaps we can do something
more than stop the trend, we can in-
deed go forward to new fields of
individual enterprise and :freedom
and from there to greater. progress
and prosperity. It is important to
remember this however. The Way
and the only way to accept, the chal-
lenge and 'solve the problem is
through our own individual self-
improvement-7-and this is a personal
introspective achievement.

There is ample evidence of a
general distortion of values in the
world today---a sort of moral
orientation. Mink coats and poli-
ticians, fixed prize fights, juvenile
delinquency, misleading advertising.
and now, most recently., rigged quiz
shows, raise disturbing questions
about the state of the public con-
science and would seem to reflect a
cynical attitude towards the moral
standards against which we should.
measure our thoughts and deeds,
The frightening thing is not that in-
dividuals depart from the paths of
rectitude—that has happened from
the time of Adam and Cain and will
probably continue until the end of
time—but after that there is so much
apathy, so much general acceptance
of evil practices that they- seem to
have become almost normal. Charles
Frankel, Professor of Philosophy
at Columbia University, in a recent
article said "In politics and business,
. in .education as well as• entertain-
ment, the arts of 'deception have
clearly won an honoured place". If
this startling statement is true, and
many signs point in that direction,
then. it is. obvious that before we can
hope to tackle effectively the marry
problems and challenges of the next.
few years we must get our thinking
straight in this area or we will
accomplish very little. We are faced
with a variety of problems affecting
us immediately. There is the tight
money situation, there are labour-
manageMent problems,, there are
problems with, respect to the growth
of government, there are inter-
national problems of the first mag-
nitude, but unless we base our attack
on these problems on firm and solid
moral grounds then the-battles are
already lost.
• There is considerable validity to
the t'argument that the battle be-
tween capitalism and socialism has
'been fought- in terms of economic
and political tenets almost exclusive-
. ly, ,..whereas sufficient recognition
has not been given to the .fact that
it is in their opposing concepts of
the nature of man and of his proper
relationship to other men, that the
heart of the conflict really exists.
In other words, it is the moral an-
tagonism of capitalism and socialism
that should be recognized and steps
taken to make sure that we do ad-
here to the moral principles which
make our arguments sound and de-
fensible,
Some time ago Lord Moulton re-
viewed the three great domains 'of
human action. Virst the domain of
positive law, second the domain of
free choice and between them the
large and important domain in
which there rules neither .positive
law nor absolute freedom. Lord
Moulton referred to it as the domain
of "Obedience to the . Unenforce-
