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 able margin of profit in return for 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 going-over like that, a still, sm all Western Foundry. He slioped and fell, breaking his leg. Miss Hazel Campbell has return- ed from Edmonton and is visit- ing at her home on the first line of Morris, She is accompanied by her cousin, Roy Ritz, of Roseland, Alta. * The first thing, I'm not going to do with the.money.is buy a !holm.

Nor :do I plan. to invest it for my old age. ..If I get hold of that $70,000, never live to a ripe 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 widely distributed: and, therefore,. slightly .organized farmers are ripe bargaining match for the tightly- oeganized people with whom they 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- est in this country in Canadian problerna-- agricultural or indust- rial, I wish it ,were otherwise!" -So : do 1, but I 'also wish that someone could sopply the answers ,concerning this curious unconcern With the fact that this Dominion is Uncle Sam's No, 1 Customer for, the :goods and services of the iin-. .

Be that as it may, if we have to have 'deficiency payments' to re- main in production and out of the sheriff's bands, on Canadian farms I favor such financial assistance going to, say, 250;000 'family farms'. rather than to 2,500 gigot:le 'egg factories' or vertically integrated piggeries.

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. FINE CONSISTENCY The federal income tax depart- ment has Always• permitted the tax- payer to make allowance for medical . and hospital expenditures if they were in excess of three. per cent of his income, The fact that the tax- payer had been wise enough to pur- chase hospitalization insurance (lid not alter the case. TTe paid income tax on the insurance premiums, but hospital paid by an insurance company were considered as allow- able expenditures, tax-free after the three percent level. After establishing this precedent and adhering to it for sonic years, the whole stand has now been alter- ed, No allowance is made for hos- pital bills which are paid out of benefits under the Ontario Hospital.

People who have been contributing to Mlle :Cross or to any Of the private hospitaliz- ation plans, Jail to see that their compulsory .Change in insuring ag- eney should make any difference in the way the payments are regarded by the Department of National Rev- enue, The whole social, polls cal and. economic structure of the free world is 'based on recognition of the worth of the individual,. says the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Newsletter. - No matter what our race, colour or creed we, on the North An outine:a, outwardly proclaim our belief in the principles of Christian hilosophy. Ostensibly Christian. ethies are the norm or standard by which we measure our actions, :col- lective or individual, in our every field of :activity, Sir Winston Chur - cbill it this way "The flame ()1 Christian ethics is still our high - est guide. To guard and cherish. it is our first interest, both spiritually and materially. The fulfilment of spiritual duty in our :daily life is vital to our 'survival. Only by bringing it into perfect applicatitm can we hope to solve for ourselves problems of 'this world, and not of this world 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- able", It could be divided into do- TheWingharn Advance.Times Published at Wingbana, Ontario Wenget Brothers, PubliShera W.
