Bungled IS Coronation. The coronation of young George III was remarkable for its bungling. The Earl Marshal,, Lord Howard of Effingham,, was ordered by the Court to spare no pains to put on a glorious show. Yet his "worries" quite overpowered him. Abbey work- ers went on strike, refusing to.. erect stands unless their wages• were raised. Sedan -chair mei'.' "came out" with them. Even the Dean and Chapter of Westminster joined with other property owners in the Abbey's:. neighobourhood by placing exar bitant prices on their window seats, as much as twenty goldef;s', soverigns, worth about £200 byr',' to -day's values, for a singlebl-'i place. When the secret ceremony of. the Consecration took place, a4 irritated monarch listened in turn to echoing cries and whispers fizz the table of the Knights' of .tl Bath, the Royal Canopy and't Swerc of. State. All items wee missing. Amid angry murmur from merchant princes, jealous o, the City of London's fiercely worez freedoms, the Lord Mayor had lend his sword for the comple- tion of the ceremony. Scene of Confusion Worse, when the Archbishop of Canterbury poised the glit- tering State Crown above the`' King's annointed head, a dia- mond broke loose from its sock- et and ran down the royal nose. Full of confusion, the unhappy Earl Marshall stammered after- wards: "My fault, Sir, were many, but I can assure your Majesty that the next corona- tion shall be regulated in the exactest manner possible!" Cold comfort, indeed, for a reigning king! The first English coronation, accompanied by a royal passage through, London's streets, was that of Richard II in Atty. 1337. Not only were London's pave- ments "profuse with tapestry and garlands," but marked at .: intervals with "giant pageants." .A gaudily painted canvas castle was erected in Cheapside, with four turrets, each occupied by a beautiful maiden clothed in • white. As the royal coach ap- proached, she threw imitation gold florins on to its horses and blew leaves of gold into the King's face, When he halted, the maidens scampered forth, bearing gold cups filled with wine and press- ed their offering in turn to his lips. On that day the city's gut- ters, normally coursing with water, bowed for three hours with red and white wine. To- wards the drowsy afternoon's end, many a Londoner lay "pickled beside the sewers! Hideous foliowed the o onat ion of e Richard I. Lavish free distributions of wine unleashed licentious spirits. And. with the tacit approval of the King himself, it was said, drink- maddened Londoners stumbled forth to massacre the .'Yews ' of the City of London. They began this foul work first in Westminster Ball. Soon afterwards, one hundred Jews were dragged in chains through the streets and charged with child -murder. It was a false charge. But so fierce was the people's temper that the King's judges straightway senteneed eighteen to be hanged and the rest to rot in dungeons. Untfi that of William 1V--whc, disliked carousals -each coronae tion was accompanied by a sumptuous state banquet in.

Those who preferred their savouries cold smackled their lips over Bolina sausages, crayfish, "Dutch beef," cheese cakes, salmon, crab, cows' udders roasted, lampreys and shrimps.

When we read at the' same tune that over 4000 men had to be laid off by the farm imple- ment manufacturers on account of reduced . sales, we cannot un- derstand where these benefits are supposed to be coming from big profits, whether they are plowed back or not. One of the reasons offered by the companies for the reduction of operations is the backlog of instalments due which farmers owe and were not able to pay. They are caught between the rising cost of production and the lowered return for their prod- ucts. For both these factors the price policy of the manufactur- ing and processing industry are largely responsible, In 1951 three companes manu- factured over 88 % of the Canadi- an made agricultural implements. The statistics published on these three companies therefore can be considered representative of the industry. From 1945 to 1951 the Gross selling value of agricultural im- plements at the plants increased by 265 per cent. In the same period per capita wages a n d salaries increased by •78 per cent, but the net profits per dollar of share capital increased 455 per cent. In 1951 the net return for every dollar of share capita] was 50.5 cents. Over 50 cents per dol- lar ccapital seems to be a fairly generous return.., We wonder how many farmers have a net income of 50 cents for every dollar in- vested in their land, buildings, stock and implements. Such is the situation in the 1 9 t:b t I ELLIS neo. main industry selling to the far- mer, It is similar at the other end, in the industry buying from the farmer. Two of the three largest firms in the meat packing business had a ratio of combined net pro- fits to share capital of 50.8 per cent in 1945, of 116.9 per cent in 1950 and of 63,8 per cent in 1951. It is not surprising then that farmers do not know where to• take the, money from to meet their payments due for commit- ments made at times that looked. rosier ,than they turned out to be. In the election campaign now being waged from coast to coast many brave speeches have been made about the importance of agriculture as the basic industry. Nothing has been said, how- ever, whether manufacurers and processors will be permitted to continue in the same way they have been doing theselast years, This is another question which should be asked by the farmers from all parties. This column welcomes sug- gestions, wise or foolish, and all • criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer any question.
