However, because they must obtain part of the information frieni the producers, Mr. Biggs hes requested that all producers co- Slay The Dragon IN TRF FEBRUARY ISSUE ce the News Letter, published by The Oan‘adlan Chamber of Commerce; the Governor of New Hampshire was quoted 'as saying, "I believe if we all would. decide this year to give one-haIf a dollar more work for the dollar we receive, we would all come pretty near getting back the one-half dollar we are losing because our dollars are only worth orie-helf as much." Early in May, Finance Minister Abbott expressed the same thought in his appeal to Canadians to work an extra forty minutes daily "to help slay the dragon of inflation." The extra forty minutes, he pointed out, are re- quired to produce the additional ten per cent worth of production needed to avert "the gra' danger, the calamity of run -away inflation". In inele-and-a-quarter headlines, the Canadian Communist weekly newspaper. The Canadian Tribune, delicately answered, "Nuts to You, -Mater Abbott." The News Letter states that the Finance Minister correctly posed the problem confront - deg us when he stated that the defence effort was taking up about ten per cent of normal production but thet there had been no slack- ening of demand for •goods. The question is one of cutting back civilian consumption by one-tenth or increasing production by that amount. "To abstain one-tersth or to work an extra tenth—that is the queition. 'Unless we do either or a combination of both, unless we do so consciously and co-operatively, we stand in danger of upsetting the delicate mechanism of our economy—end because of this very tenth we stand in danger of jeopardizing our present well-being." The Communists, of course, will have no- thing of this philosophy. Although the leaders of the Kremlin in their own country recognize the validity of the argument and insist upon increased productivity—a policy which they can enforce—Canadian Communists have their own four -point program: 1. Curb the profiteees, limit profits! 2. A 100 per cent Excess Profits Tax! Letters to Editor Fc6frit Our Early Files 25 YEARS AGO E. Whitety, F. Watts, D. Oantelon, W. Walker, G. D. MeTaggart.

They realize, of course, that if they should succeed in their attempts to implement such a program they would, in a very short time, spoil the Canadian economy and leave it in a condition to fall, like an over -ripe fruit, onto the ever -ready upturned point of the Communist sickle. There still does not seem to be much widespread recognition of the fact, stated so carefully and succinctly by the Winnipeg Free Press, "that the decline in the value of the dollar—apart from that caused by the panic buying of 1950—was the price bhe nation had to pay for the war when the value was in fact devalued but the outwaed effects of the devaluation merely postponed. That price could be escaped for a short time end a snort time only, If the individuel holder of government bonds, life insurance and the like, lost part of his savings, he bought in return the sur- vival of the nation. It was a low price." Fear of what has happened to the dollar in the past should not lead us 10 the conclusion that thrift is no longer desirable or necessary. What hes heppened was inevitable and our job now is to see to it that everything possible is done to prevent a continuation of the spiral. We, as inclividuale, must recognize that there are, two things that we can do: 1. We must Increase our individual sav- ings and thereby cut down on the consump- tion of civilian goods; 2. We must, in so far as we are able, increme our productivity—by working herder and more efficiently. • By producing the additional ten per cent needed Inc defence, perhaps we shall guarantee the avoidance of a general war and by in- creasing our savings new ...are can not only relieve the pressur'eof inflation but can provide the capital necensery Inc cone -elven -on of an increased and improved industrial plant Which will, in turn. provide us with increased de fence requirements es well as increased con sumer goods. Parking That (The Toronto Telegram) MOTORISTS who habitually park their cars on streets or highways in front of their homes at night ought tp ponder the decision of a Manitoba court in a collision fatality case, In this occurrence a passenger in an auto- mobile was killed when the machine crashed into another vehicle parked on a snow-covered provincial road in March, 1949. The widow of the deceased man took action against the owner of the parked oar end the court has -awarded her damages amounting to $15,948. In handing down his decision Mr. justice J. J. Kelly of the Court of King's Bench added the dictim that "public highways were never intended for the garaging of vehicles." The heavy damages wore imposed on the defendant in the case notwithstanding the eact that, as the judge observed, there hed been laxity on the part of the law enforcement officers in permitting parked vehicles on the highway during the winter. In other words, even though the police permitted the parking practice, it did not exonerate the owner. of the parked car from responsibility.

How- ever, it is a plan that demendc a realistic appraisal. The danger is that the program may bonus a few families at a cost to the many. It is proposed to build the homes at a cost of ,$9,000 per unit but pest experience with similar enterprises forces the conclusion that this preliminary estimate would be exceeded in every case. It is 'stated that Joseph Townsend has ienishe monthly rentals will be a roapd- the vmancleivetne the prgperty mum of -$60, though private build - occupied by Mrs. McHardy-Smath;iers would require a monthly the laundry building on Huron 1 rental of from $80 to $90 to carry SI hes had a coat of paint; Geo. a $9,000 house.

Finally, the comment of Reeve Oliver Crockford of Scare/ore would seem to merit oc•nsidera- tion. This township °Venial, who may be presumed to speak with some authoriey and with exper- ience to back up his opinion, states: "There's a demand far low- cost housing. But the tenants should pay enough to parry the cost. The rest of the taxpayers who are paying for (their homee without assistance shouldn't have to pay to help others." The im- plication is that the proposed houses may not make their full return over the long period and that part of the oust may have to be met by taxpay,ers in gen- eral, which, in fact seems highly - probable.

The Manitoba judge appears 'to hold this opin- ion for he has said quite appropriately that public highways were never intended for the gmaging of vehicles, and he lies imposed. heavy damages on the motorist whose parked car was involved in the accidentt. If ethe. decision in this -Manitoba case is accepted' as a precedent to be egllowed in similar cases, motorists must leen' to be less nonchalant in using public thoroughfares for the "garaging" of their vehicles at night and while at week or play. In residential areas cars parked on the street have often been a contributing factor to accidents involving young children who, not infrequently, dart from between parked cars in the path of motor- ists. So ear as is knowni the o-wner of a parked car has never been held legally liable in ac- cidents of this kind, but the Manitoba court; decision indicates Ms responsibility is greater than is ceremony thought.
