Oourse?If this is so, we are

Our way of life is a mixture
of American and British ideas.
In Britain and the USA the wealthy
Landowners • and industrial, be.

term the governing classes until
about forty years ago. However,
...Preidente Johnston, Truman
and Eisenhower were nbt barb
into socially elite families. In
Britain, Prime Ministers Wilson,
MacMillan, Mac Donald and
LIoyd•George had to come up the
hard way. In all the cases we
have'. mentioned and many more
we didn't , men came to prom.
inence through their own hard
work, and, often% from a worker's
home. •
In Canada we have 'practically
no landed gentry and very few
wealthy, industrialists to form a
governing class. Here we seem'
to favour lawyers . We've had
fourteen Prime Ministers and
ten- of them have been lawyers.
But all of them ha.d to make their
own way, often from very humble
starts. This would seem to in*
dicate that so far we have put
more value on what a person
makes of himself, than the social
status of his `parents or his
school.
Brains are not automatically
given to . a child conceived in a
wealthy home or witheld from one
conceived in a worker -'_s home.
The person who develops Into a
good citizen can earn his living
at a lathe or a typewriter or in a
law or business office.
. The key phrase here is, 'dev.

Industrial Relations Speaker
"
Discusses dew MiIf
There is a new militancy app.
arent in upion affairs, Kenneth
Hallsworth, industrial relations
vice-president of the Ford Motor
,-Co. of Canada,. said last week.
"Much of this .militancy can
be attributed to a more aggress.
ive, spirit within the locals,m, he
told the London and district chap.
ter' of the Society for the Advall.,
cement of Management.
"This resurgence at the grass
roots has generated pressures
from below which have pushed the
international leaders who pre. •
sviously applied the impetus."
He said there has been a great
increase 'in working time lost
due eo strikes,, walkouts and" an
increase in wildcat strikes. Mr.
Hallsworth said too often locals
are refusing to ratify agreements
which have been negotiated for
them.
One -reason for this, he said, is
"our unexcelled prosperity over
the past few years which has
. prompted labor to raise its sights
considerably mat _the. bargainirig
table."
Mr, Hallsworth referred tO
"widespread apprehension" by
labor over the long term effects
of automation. He said manage-
