The cost of living is inseparably linked with the cost of labor. If, along with the cost -of -living index, the Government had issued since the war a cast -of - labor` index, the second chief cause of rising prices and inflation would have been plainly indicated. For the primary 'cause, look at the Ottawa budgets from 1945 onward.. Government spend- ' ing is the cause of inflation. Unncessary, gov- ernment spending is the cause of unnecessary inflation. • Farmers Urged to Kee IN COMMON with tile rest of the 730,000 farmers of Canada, the farmers of this district during the last two or three weep have re- ceived through the mails copies of the agri- cultural guestionnaire that is being used in the 1951 Census of Canada. If there are any whom it has not reached, they may obtain a copy at their nearest post office. The farm schedule was sent. out by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in advance in order to enable farmers to prepare their an swers to the questions at their convenience and thus save time when. the census enumerator cells some time in June. An accompanying letter asked 'the farmers to complete the sched- ule so far as they could and have it on hand Letters to Editor ENJOY PAPER R. S. Atkey, Editor, Clinton News -Record Clinton, Ontario, Canada DEAR FRIEND: Enclosed you'll find a clipping about the life of my uncle, John B. Eagleson, dad's eldest brother who passed away April 12, 1951. You will note by your records that John B. Eagleson was a con- tinuous subscriber of The NEWS- RECORD for nearly 60 years. We enjoy each week's edition of the Record and especially my- self, since I made a trip back to IOli ton last fall and met your p Farm Census Schedules in readiness for the visit by the enumerator. They were particularly requested not to mail it to the Bureau of Statistics. In spite of this request, several thousand farmers from all parts of Canada have com- pleted their schedules and sent them eo Ot- tawa. In consequence, the Bureau has sent out a special request to all the weekly news- papers of Canada asking -them to remind their farm readers to keep the schedule until the census taker arrives to complete the details and to pick it up. Forms that are mailed to Ottawa will just be mailed back to the sender, since they require completion on the spot by the enumerator to ensure complete census coverage. Manpower Crisis THERE WILL BE a critical labor shortage by mid -summer, predicts Ron Williams in The Financial Post. The surest sign, he says, is the unemployment index. Norentlly at this season a lot of people are out of work, due to 'the fact that seasonal work in the bush has ended and summer howeverut thers are all the other way. started. This spring, Trend of unemployment continue down instead of up all through April. w Industry THE GREATEST FLOW of new direct in- vestment in Canadian 'history is reported by the Foreign Exchange Control Board, says The Financial Post. For the first time, the FECB report shows the new direct investment in Canadian branch plants and other productive enterprise. The grand total is $190 millions, of which $167 millions came from the United States.

The expectation was that there would be less drinking and less crime due to drinking. Instead, the per capita consump- tion went up from 1.69 gallons in 1933 to 27.25 gallons in 1947. Prohibition had been held re- sponsible for the operation of gangsters like Al Capone. Twenty years later there were synadicates of goons and lobbyists that made the old Capone mob look like amateurs. Bootlegging w o u l d disappear when legal outlets were pro. On hec contrary the —so the Florida ct was rime s commission reports that there never was a year under prohibi- tion where as many bootleggers were arrested as have been ar- rested every year since prohibi- tion was repealed. The facilities for drinking were increased and so the drinking in- creased and the crime due to drinking increased too.
