LARGE CORPORATIONS PRO-
FIT AT EXEPNSE
OFiPRODUCERS
If the Milk Probe has done nothing
else it has. brought to the front what
many persons suspected, and that is,
that large corporations continued to
make good profits during the lean
years while the producer worked for
little or nothing and often at a loss.
This conditionis not a -healthy
state of affairs. The farmer has too
often to bear the brunt of these de-
pression prices and has little chance
for redress unless the Government
steps in and insists that he receive
a fair price for what he produces.
It is little wonder that the farmers
of Canada are getting restless' when
commodity prices are at levels that
force them to lose money or give up
his land. There are many who argue
that the business man is in a tough
spot, and we quite agree with them,
but unless the farmer can get fair
prices business in Canada cannot rise
to a . level that will give a fair living
to its people and the recovery of in-
dustry cannot be expected.
These large firms which practical-
ly control the price of farm produce
in many cases are :burdened by great
amount of watered stock and their an-
nual statements do not present the
true : earnings on actual investments.
How best to get at these actual
earnings is a big question, but there
is no better time than, now to . right
these matters and by doing so busi-
ness would be placed on a much bet-
ter basis.
It was brought out in the recent
milk probe that one firm which start-
ed in a modest way some years ago
has today a capital, structure of over
a million dollars, mostly built out of
earnings. The producer should not
be placed in the position of aiding in
the building of such firms which lat-
er strangle him further.

UNCLE SAM OFF THE
GOLD STANDARD
President Roosevelt of the United
States has surely acted with , deter-
mination and speed since he took 'of-
fice, From the day he declared a
bank moratorium (the day he took
office), he has brought forward in
rapid succession measures by which
he hopes to put agriculture on a pay-
ing basis and supply work for the
many unemployed of that country.
His different measures have caused
sensation after sensation,, but with the
announcement last Friday that the
United. States was off the gold stand-
ard thesensation of sensations was
created.
Almost as if by magic, commodity
prices, stock prices, began to rise and
the Arnerietin dollar in foreign ex-
change dropped 1.0. per :cent, at epee.'
'J'1 e pound sterling raised in price
12l cents and the 'Canadian dollar
gained in strength to a price that it
has not enjoyed for some! time.
What the effect will be is difficult
to determine, but trade with the Un-
ited States by foreign nations should.
receive .a great stimulus, Canada who
owes vast sums of money in the Un-
ited States will save millions of dol-
lars in principal and interest that is
due this year, Who knows but our
export trade to the country south of
us may regain its 'former position.
One-third oftheworld's known
gold supply is held in the United
States, and, it was not expected that
they would drop the gold standard at
present, but in trying to find a solu-
tion for low commodity, prices, work
for the unemployed and a revival of
trade, President Roosevelt apparent-
ly has Made up his mind' to use every
means at his command. The wealth
of a nation, be it as rich as United
States, locked up in vaults, did no-
thing to alleviate the, depression of
business and so other methods are
to be tried.
Great Britain went ` off the gold
standard some time ago and caused
the world to wonder. Now that the
States has also for a time at least,
discarded this standard, it will be
most interesting to note what bene-
fits are derived from this measure.
The President also plans new cur-
rency issue if expansion of credit
fails to end the economic troubles of
tho country.
He will have control
of all money matters and Washing-
ton will now deal with such matters,
instead of the banks. It is an experi-
ment, but no doubt has been the re-
sult of great study. Let us hope it
helps to cure some of the world's ills.

which is the sacrificial surrender of
life to Christ and so to God,. None
is good save one, even God. Christ
does not here deny'. he is God

seeking to lead the young plan's

our Lord wished to bring .out 'the
truth:that:all is of God, and whoever
seeks eternal life Mils find it in him
and in the way he has marked out

CHRIST AND THE CHILDREN.
And they were bringing unto him,
little children, that he should touch
there. It was customary,. among the
Jews for mothers to ask famous
teachers to lay their hands on the
heads of their children and bless
there; and these women who had got
good from Jesus brought their child-
ren to hint. Arid the disciples re-
buked them. We men and women of
today often repel the children. We.
allow ourselves to be too busy to
care for them and their interests. We
do not study with them or play with
them or take them off on delightful
excursions. Most of all, we do not
share with them our highest and best
thoughts and lead them to the Bible,
to prayer, and to the Saviour. This
event points its finger of warning at
many a home.
trot too busy with the important.
Pharisees to note what was going on
around him, or too occupied with the
discussion of a great topic to take
thought for children and their m--
thers. He, was moved with 'indigna
tion. He was moved with indigna-
tion because his disciples not only,
misunderstood loin themselves, but
they misrepresented him to others;
because his disciples were putting a
barrier la the way of his love; and
because he delighted in the ' little
children. And said unto them, Suffer
the little children to come unto tyre;
forbid them not. So earnest is the
Master- that he puts his command in a
two -fold way, positive and .negative,
Verily I say unto you. Christ's
manner of indicating solemnly the.
importance of what he is going to
say. Whosoever shall not receive the,
Kingdor of God as a little child he
shalt in no wise enter therein. And
when Christ adds that only those
who "receive" the kingdom like a
child can enter into it, he seems to
mean that the children of the 'king-
dom come into it like children o4 the
world into the world naked and
stripped of everything, infants who
are to be done for, who cannot do
for themselves, ,
Aird he took thesis in iris arms,' and
blessed there, laying his hands upon
them. The Christian ideal includes
old and young living and working to-
gether, in the home and the church
and everywhere else, that Christ;s
will may be done .and Christ's king-
dom come.,
"But wvlren esus saw it. He was
the second table `forbidding covetous
mess he had not kept in its deeper
meaning.
And he' said unto him, One thing
thou laciest. Most of us lack many
things; perhaps this young man did,
but Christ meant' that he lacked one
e.Csential':for eternal life—and it was
1
the main essential. And Jesus told•
him what was needed for him to qaul-
ify for'the kind of life he was' look-
ing for. Go sell whatsoever thou has,
and give.to the poor. Our Lord was
not laying Clown a precept for all
men, but for this one man. Our Sav-
iour did not pray for those nearest
to him'that they might be taken' out
of the world, but that they might be
delivered from the evil. And thou
shalt have treasure in heaven. Many
and many a 'man, after twenty years
of toil stands on his half -million, and
looks proudly at the position he has
made for himself. ' And come, follow
me. Christ's portion and. the fact
that he possessed nothing were"not
in order to . show sympathy with the
poor, burin order to show the nature
of his religion, which is just man
and God together—man with, nothing.
But his countenance fell at the say-
ing, and he went away sorrowing.
Lhe .,young :Wan made what Dante
called "The Great Refusal!' He had
turned away, within sight of the por-
tal of heaven, away' from the Lord
of the kingdom in his love and gen-
tleness, For he was one that had
great possessions. Our Lord did not
condemn "great possessions," but re-
quired that they should be` consecrat-
ed to God and used: for mankind.
THE DANGEROUS TRUST IN
RICHES
And- Jesas looked round about..To
make sure that he had the attention
of the Twelve to the startling and'
important thing he was about to say.
And saith unto, his disciples, How
hardly shall they that have riches en-
ter into the kingdom of God! With
what difficulty—not that it is impos-
sible, but that it is hard. This hind -
ranee may be' made, a stepping stone.
And the"disciples were amazed at
his words. Jesus seemed to be shut-
ting out of his kingdom all the'most
respectable elements of:' society; cer-
tainly all the ablest.
It is easier for -•:a camel to go
through a needle's eye.' Probably our
Lord was merely using a proverbial
exaggerated expression implying the
impossible, such sayings being com-
mon in the East. Than for a, rich
mars to enter into the kingdom of
God. Hard because of the natural
selfishness of the ` soul. I -lard be-
cause of the general tendency of
human life.
And they were astonished exceed-
ingly. They were still snore amazed
as the Teacher emphasized his hard.
saying. Saying unto him, Their who
cats be saved? They did not realize
that "the stern condition requiring
sacrifice is' only the fence, the gate,
to the'garden of God,"
Jesus looking upon them said. Our.
Lord's gaze was' full of eager- long-
ing that his disciples should grasp
the full meaning of what had taken
place and of what had • been said;
therefore-, his' looking on thein is
twice mentioned. With men it is im-
possible. Unaided human nature is
selfish. We cannot lift ourselves out
of the slough of greedy But not with
God: for all things, arc possible with'
God.
