Problems that ahauld be faded by

fishable surpluses such as, wheat
beans, pork, are in. my opinion as
goodas gold iii war Bute, There le
nothing. that will put heart in a
man like a full stomach, and there.
is nothing that will weaken the
morale of any nation like starve-
lion, We all know that armies
travel on their stomaohs and so J
say again, pile up the surpluses
of non perlsdiable geode and keep
the people working, make the eur-
renoy circulate, and back it up with
gold and with the storage of non-
perishable goods. Beat the enemY
at their own game, Only those who
accept defeat are defeated,
That is a striking statement—
"non-perishable surpluses , .. are as
good as gold In war time." The
peopfle of Britain are striving to
produce themselves as much food-
stuffs as possible but there will be
increasing demands on the man-
power of Britain in d'he factories, in
construction and in the fighting ser-
vices. It will be surprising if agri-
cultural production in Britain does
not decline. In any event, whatever
snnplvses she now has, will disap-
pear. It is significant that ratioa-
fng regulations are 'becoming more
severe. It would be disastrous and
wouldbe a. blot on Canada's honor
were we to'fail to •build up and'hold
in readiness fully -adequate supplies
of nonperishable feddstufs for
shipment to Britain
The farmers are ready to iio them
part. As Mr. Cardiff said, "farmers
have divorced themselves from the
:profit motive, and are actuated only
by a determined desire to serve in
the ftbnt rankksof production" He
was right, too, when he said. "Farm
dng today is a busine�sa,"-and just as
in other industries;;, farmers must
have sufficient income to cover over-
head, defray,• expenses .and ,main-
' tai$, their bniiding's "sal equipme at.

Mr. Cardiff M.P., For
Huron North, Speaks
For The Fanners
An able plea for wider recognition
of the -vital importance of making it
economically posaibe for the farmer
to maintain and, in some cases, ex-
pand production was made in the,
House of Commons recently by
Mr. L. E. Cardiff, Conservative
Member of Parliament for Huron
-North. Because Mr. Cardiff is .- a
successful farmer—ask anybody in
the Brussels district about that—his
views probaby have wide rural en-
dorsation, but they merit, as well,
careful consideration by the city
man.

that the farmer should be encourag-
ed to produce but that the DoMMion
should, give the farmer intreased
protection. We quote part of what
Mr:',Cardiff said in the House on this
point:

ployees of the Kingston ,Shipbuilding
Company, of Kiagston, who went on
strike last week because their de-
mands for wage increases had beea
rejected.. Acocrding to officials of
the company, the men had received
two wage increases earlier this year,
and added that they had walked off
the job last week without giving any
notice, It is reassuring to learn that
they have decided to return to work
since. We do not say that these men
were not entitled to an increase in
wages. we do not Arnow Anything
about the merits of their claim. We
do contend, however, that they
should not have walked out on 1
strike. The statutes of this'
country provides other means of
settling wage disputes. Britain
needs ships and we must stay at the
job of building them. • Britain also
needs food and will need more of
it in future. We confidently be-
lieve that the farmers of the country
will not go on strike --but we should
not expect too much from them and
give thein too little in return.

day was his first in the -louse of

to be a safe prediction that the
