CONCERNING BUTTER
Shortly after the outbreak. of hos-
tilities the wartime prices control
board took prompt, effective steps to
avert a sugar market panic that
might have induced profiteering and,
hoarding.
•As a result of this action the gov-
ernment was warmly eohnniended on
all sides and the conviction grew that
abuses that prevailed in the course of
World War No. 1 would not be tolery
ated while the present one continues.
In this, however, the people appear
to have been disillusioned. Recent in-
creases in 'the price of butter have
shaken their confidence in the price
control boards The people fear that
the board is unwilling ,or unable to
do the job for which it was created.
But judging from the remarks of
the man in the stret he is in no mood
to tolerate profiteering .en specula-
tion in such an everyday necessity.
All good Canadians want to play
their parts in hastening the day of
victory but they will not stand idly
by and watch a new crap of million-
aires created while war persists and
new demands are being made on time,
energy and pocketbooks. In short,
the government must not, if they are
to listen to the people, permit the
manipulation of essential foodstuffs
and other commodities merely to
create profit for groups far removed
from the producer and the man who
"pays the shot" the ultimate con-
sumer.
Farmers say they are not sharing
ire the profits in consequence of rising
butter prices. If they were there
would' be less cause for complaint.
Farmers also say there has•been no
more than a seasonal decline in the
production of cream and this view is
shared by managements of the cream-
eries. Why, then, the artificial short-
age of butter and the attendant un-
warranted increases to the consumer?
We are in complete accord with
the Kincardine Review when it states
that "if a dealer can double his money
by this means (speculation) then the
wartime prices control board is mot
carrying out it duties. And any deal-
er who is doing this is decidedly more
interested in lining his own pockets•
than he is in the welfare of his fellow
men or in furthering the national war.
effort,"
The government has shown that it
can regulate sugar priees and distri-
bution; it has likewise peeved that it
can attune wages to rising living-
costs.
iving
costs, But in order to restore public
confidence in the price control board
it must insist upon drastie and im-
mediate action to curb speculation in
the butter market. Furthermore, the
government should not hesitate to
make a public explanation why the
increases occurred, why they were
permitted and then add the assurance
that such a condition will not be per-
mitted to develop again.

By B. K. Sandwell in Saturday Night
The term "Socialism" is capable oe
an enormous number of differesut
meanings, with different emotional
shadings. It will be unfortunate if
any large number of Canadianat
themselves in opposition to the tend-
ency which is already very visible I
in the ocono'mic-political life of Great
Britain, and which is presumably
pretty certain to set in in Canada in
duo course, merely because some peo-
ple describe it as a tendency towards
Socialism, The best thing that any
of us ean clo about Socialism in these
days is not to endeavor to prevent
the advent of anything that anybody
can possibly describe as Socialism,
but to seek to promote the advent of
the best kind of Socialism—the land
that will interfere least with the pro-
ductive energies of the nation, the
kind that will do least to diminish
the incentives to industry and thrift,
the kind that will give least encour-
agement to nnpmoduetive .privilege,
whether on the part of capital .or one
the part of labor. Some considerable
measure of what some people will
call Socialiser we are bound to have,
ass a result of what is now going on
all over the surface o'f the world.
Whether it is a good measure oe a
bad measure will depend upon the
wisdom of the people who d'eterma e
inion it.
