THE CAUSES OF UNREST IN
CANADA
Social and industrial unrest is be-
coming so pronounced in Canada that
even the Dominion Government is
forced now te take' account thereof.
This speaks volumes for- the dimen-
sions, the igrave dimensions, weich
this unrest has attained. For the Gov-
ernment has for so long closed its
eyes and its ears to all except those
things which it wanted to see and
hear that the clouds must be black in-
deed, and the rumblings loud, for it
to haie awakened at length, to a re-
alization of the fact that a storm is
upon us. But to -day the sleepers at
Ottawa,. if not fully awake, are yet
finding their shuribers troubled and
broken and fitful.
It was so easy for the Government
to take the line it has taken for so
long. It was so easy to say that what
was happening in other lands had no
leseon for us in Canada. The comfert-
able, false doctrine was preached that
conditions here were so g-ood that dis-
negligible factor. Government spokes-
emitent among tthe workers was a
men gasre thanks to heaven that Cane
adieus were not as other men are.
All the time they were whistling to
keep their courage up. They seemed
to have. believed that they had only to
prophesy these and similar smooth
things often enough for their predic-
tions to come true. Of course,, all
along they were living in a Fool's
paradise and deceiving only them-
selves. Canadian workere are not
-
differentfrom the workers of other
countries -save that they are more
patient. But even their patience has
its To -day it is exhausted.
They are saying to those in authority,
"Enough of this foolery."They are say-
ing it in tones of meaning and almost of
menace, and the words are making
the Ottawa slumberers turn in their
sleep.
First and foremost ainong the causes
of industrial and social unrest in this
country, we unhesitatingly put the
high cost of living., and particularly of
food, It is this which has roused a-
mong the great mass of the workers
a temper of exceeding bitterness. It
is in tate homes of the people that the
most seriouskind of unrest; takes its
rise. The problem of how a man with
a family is to feed and clothe that
family on a weekly wage of anything
less, than $23 or so has become a well-
nigh insoluble one to the worker in
Canadian cities and towns. Yet we
believe that we are right in saying
that the majority of manual workers
in the cities and towns a this coun-
try do not get any $23 a week all the
year round. It is when tae working -
tan sees that he cannot give his child -
en a sufficient quantity or quality of
food that the iron enters into his
soul. This is what is happening in
many thousands of homes in Toronto
and elsewhere in Canada to -day:.
Wages have not risen in proportion
to the cost of living. The increase in
the cost of living, and especially of
food, has been wholly outrageous and
unwarrantable. Of all the egregious.
failures for which Union. Government
and its predecessor the old Borden
Government. have been responsible,
we hold that its failure to keep the
cost of the people's food within reason-
able 'dimensions has been by far the
worst. Moreover, it has been ab-
solutely gratuitous. Whatever may
have been the case in geonitrias which
are not self-sustaining ire the matter
of their food supply, there has been
no excuse whatever for the price 'of
Practically every article of diet reach-
ing the preposterous figures it has
done in. this country. For Canada is
self-sustaining, and more than self-
sustaining, in the matter of its food
supply. It iS, aa we often hear it
proudly proclaimed, a land of plenty,
the "granary of the Empire," and so
on. Yet in June we are paying 60c
a pound for better and 55c a dozen for
new laid eggs. Cheese has recently
gone up again -woe believe it did so
on the very day the Government an-
nounced its intention to reduce the
coat of food. We pay about a third
as much again for bread as they do in
England where much of the bread is
made from Canadian wheat Bacon
is 50c a pound. Beef and other meats
are nearly double their price four
years ago. Potatoes are 50c a peck,
when five years ago we could buy a
whole bag for 90.c. Margarine is
mere than double its price in England
-39c. a. pound here, and 16e a pound
there. We are urged to eat fish. Yet
whitefish and trout, which the Pro-.
vincial Geverrunent was going to
make so cheap for us, are 20c a pound
and over. Halibut is 32e a pound, a-
bout double what ought to be its
price. Lake herrings are 14 or 15c
a pound'.
It is the s-o.me thing all along the
line. It is utterly out of the question
for a family to get .normal nutritive
Meade of sufficient variety except at
almost the coat of banquets. As we
have Said, the whole thing; is utterly
gratuitous. We care not whether it
is the producers, the wholesaler'the
retailer, or the middleman, or it'll of
them put together, who are getting
swollen and nson)r,stiroas. profits. We
maintain that it is on the shoulder
of the Government -that the responsi-
bility 'tor the, scandalous food peices
,obtaining in Gana& to -day, and which
have in greater. oe Tess degree, ob-
tained all through the period of the
war, rests. For hard on five years
now, the Government hasbeen urged
to do its- Manifest and elementary
duty to the consuming public. But
such cotuisels have fellers on deaf,
dull ears. The Governmcnt, in this
matter of the food supply, has sown
the wind. To -day it is surprised that
it is reaping the whithltind.
Within the last week or two it has
come out with a promise to reduce
the cost of food. Why ia such reduc-
tion more feasible now than at any
time within the last three years or
so? Is it not rather because it is
becoming apparent even to the Gov-
ernment that the unrest which is so
evident en every side ie largely, per-
haps even mainly, attributable to its
own slackness and selfishness with
regard to anything like efficient price -
control of food? For ourselves, we
have pointed out, before now, that the
Government of a great food -export-
ing country such as this had. a duty
to the Canadian consuming public as
well as to our allies among the bellig-
erents. That duty was to keep down
the cost of food to the initabitants of
Caeada. If -necessary, price -control
could haVe been accompanied by some
system of rationing,in order to guard
against waste here a food urgently
needed overseas. But, at any rate,
there was nothing to prevent the Gov-
ernment allocating a sufficient supply
of food for the use of the Canadian
consuming public and fixing prices
for the same, leaving the =allocated
surplus to be competed, for in the
markets of the world. Had this been
&Me earlier, we are confident that
industrial and social -unrest would
never have assumed the proportion
it has come to assume. Late in the
day though it is, we have little doubt
that the Government would be acting
wisely in institeting a vigorous sys-
tem of price -control of food forth-
with. -Canadian Statesman.
COMMERCIAL AEROPLANES
With daring aviators es;saying the
huge task of flying across the Atlen-
tic and Private companies advertising
„flying machines for sale, it is worth
while to observe some, of the present
aspects of aerial navigation and re-
view past achievemeets.
The subject of the possibilities of
aviation after the war as already
-been occupying imich attention. Much
skepticism is indulged in by those
who know little of the subject, but
the advocates of its great possibilities
are almost daily adding to their
claims and as Well to their numbers,
as the public isbecoming better in.-
.
formed.
There are the mail, the express, and
the passenger service. There is for-
est ranging, sheep ranching, seal
fishing, coastal patrol and the realms
of sport. The possibilities- of aerial
service for surveying and for ex-
ploration. are .preesing forward for
recognition.
The mail service has already been
established, as we know, between a
number of places. Official mail has
been conveyed to and fro between
Paris and London, • twice daily, for
the past wear and more. Rate tables
for passenger service between these
two cities have been published. They
establish an operating cost .of about
'.$1. .00 a mile for a machine built to
carry twelve to .twenty-five passen-
gers from one capital to the other in
three and a half hours. These heav-
ier than air flying machines are hone
enough that this transport will be
further developed.
Service between Paris and St.
Nazaire was established last August.
The distance between the twe places
is about 250 miles. The service be-
tween Paris and Nice and Rome will
shortly become regular. For mere
-than a year planes have been used
in MOTOCCO for mail and special de-
spatches between various, posts, and
this is to be extended to Algeria.
Other -established services are now
operating between London and Edin-
burgh, between Scotland and the
Irish coast Italy and Sardinia, Rome
and Turin, Marseilles and. Nice, ser-
vices in Holland, services in Scandi-
navia, the service between. Washing-
ton, Philadelphia and New York is
now operating so successful that
the original; charge of tweinty-five
cents an ounce has been reduced to six-
teen cants an odrice.
It is interesting to note that official
committees which are considering air
routes reckon that New York will be
just two day sail from London.
That London to Bagdad may be tra-
velled in one and a half days. Con.-
stantinople an Petrograd will be
only about twenty hours travel from
London; while Ceylon may be reach-
ed from London in two and three-
quarter days, and Sydney in five days.
A careful computation of the cost
of a service between London and
Marseilles and to Rome, providing for
twenty-four machines and operating
six machines each way daily, shows
that it would involve a capital ex-
penditure of 1500,000 and a yearly
maintenance of about $600,000. At
this the cost works out at forty-one
cents a ton mile. The machines on
which the calculations are based are
Haney -Page, equipped with .2,300
horse power Rolls-Royce engines, cap-
able of non-stop flights of eight hours
and of carrying a revenue paying load
of no less than 4,000 pounds.
This year I expect to see a flight
across the ocean between the Irish
Coast and Newfoundland, where, near
to St. John's, large a,erodromeg have
been in preparation by the British
overnment.
We have in Montreal the credit of
inaugurating the first official mail
service in Canada. This was in last
June'when Captain Peck, of the
RoyalRoyl Air Force, in a Curtiss biplane
carried a bag of mail from the post-
master in Montreal to the postmaster
in Toronto with authority from Ot-
tawa, and with all! the other marks
on it necessary to make certain a its
official character. This was accam-:
plished under the auspices of the
Canadian Division of the Aerial league,
of the British Empire,
In forest ranging the saving to the
country and to the lumber interests
will be immenae, as one machine can
range the foreit for fire patrol and
far other services more efficiently and
with greater speed than may forty
men as presently employed, and at a
cost much below that of present me-
thods. Natural landing places for
this service, which will employ sea-
planes, -will be the innumerable lakes
scattered throughout our forest
regions,
It ie laimed by those having -good
alata at hand that passenger and ex-
press service may be maintained be-
tween larger centres of population
profitably and at 4 cost not, or 'at
-least very little in - excessof the
present' rates by rail or boat. The
saving in time alone will warrant the
establishment of this oommercial en-
terprise.
Hard 1\leaded men of means and
btlstness etnterraiise are showing
anxiety to go into the busines,s of
manufacture of aeroplanes and of es-
tablishing such services, and are
willing to risk their dollars- in the
venture'.
The Aircraft Manufacturing Com-
pany of Canada (working rn con-
junction with Mr. Holt Thomas and
his interests in England) has been
incorporated and will commence
operations in Montreal, this spring.
The Canadian Government is waking
up to the possibilities- and advantages
of aircraft: The Canadian Recon-
struction Association is now consider-
ing the best meanse and. it is likely, as
in Great Britain arid in the United
States., that a National Advisory
Committee will soon be appointed by
the Government from among those in-
terested in aeronautics to assist itt an
advisory capacity on all subject mat-
ter submitted to it, and we shall soon
have laws enacteci to govern the traf-
fic in the air and franchises will be
granted to responsible concerns, Air
routes have been suggested and will
soon be officially , established and
aerodromes and landing plaeee are
planned for a number of points, and
at an early date we shall have com-
plete links from ooe.sn to ocean, to
Hudson Bay, to the Yukon, and to
•
Labrador and. Newfeundland.
Help -will be given for the outlet of
grain from our Northwest by the
Hudson Bay, by aviators flying over
the sea, pointing out by wirelese, the
passages through the ice floes, thus.
saving much time for steamships, and
redecing risk and loss. The redac-
tion of insurance rates Axle in con-
sequenee of the establishment of a
proper service for this purpose will
eventually more than effset the entire
cost. .
One man in the Western States.
used a flying' machine last year in
connection with his sheep rang.hing,
and says that he saved at least 5,000
sheep 'during the winter, which under
the old conditions would have per-
ished before they could have bean
founcl and rescued.,
For a period of three months last
summer the British Government, as
an experiment to determine the cost
and practicability, used the same ma-
chine, a large ;Handley -Page, between
England and France, malting two
trips daily in each direction. This it
did carrying an average of sixteen
passengers on each trip, taking over
to the front flying officers for service
and returning with others going on
leave. It never once made a poor
landing or had an accident. I do not
know the figures, but am informed
that the ceSt of maintenace of this
service was most satisfactory and
encouraging.
We read in the newspapers only a
few days ago that four army aero-
planes were flon from San .Francis-
co to Washington and to New York,
taking in the elapsed flying time only
some fifty-three hours for the entire
journey of about 4,000 miles. En
route, and as part of the object of
the trip, the flyers made selection of
suitable' landing grounds to assist in
the establishment of one of their pro-
posed national air routes.
I noticed also An newspaper reports
that a similar trip had been made by
three army" machines from Texas
northward to a point .near Detroit.
The universities are akeady looking
to aviation as a regulitebranch of
education and instruction Several
of the leading universities • have had
money given them for the purpose
and are considering establishing. pro-
fessorships of aeronautics, for which
I may instance the lUniversity of
London. McGill University, although
it has not so far had any donation or
grants to assist it, is establishing a
course of lectures on the subject, and
these will commence in the fall of
this year, 1919; and the University
of Toronto will do the same.

The Celebration -One of the great-
est days ever held here was celebrated
on Tuesday, June 3rd. The crowd
came fram far and near, arriving early
in the Morning to see the calithumpian
procession, whieli was good. One of
the outstahdingt features being a .re-
presentative of each of the Allies itt
the recent War. ° The main feature of
the day was the flights of twe aero-
planes from Toronto, which made some
splendid. ascensions. They also did a
great business in carrying passengers.
There were Vier baseball teams here
competing for ke purse of $100. .The
first game was played between Clinton
and Brussels, which was won by the
former by a same of 9 to 10. In the
afternoon, Goderich and Listowel play-
ed, but Goderidh was too strong for
Listowel, winning ,easily. This was
