C. D, Howe's clear eut eun- elation of the Government's civil aviation Valley featured a week of important Parliamentary work. Mr.I Howe declared 'that in order to. as - salve the .public of the best possible air service and to give returning air service. crew an opportunity _fit lucra- tive post -way employment, ownership and operation. of Canadian air lines are to be.dirorced from the..railways.

A separate girveriamentatreined ,company is to be formed. to operate T.C.A., which plans a new transcon- tinental service from Montreal, Ot- tawa,,and Toronto .to the Yukon and Alasa, via North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie. Port Arthur, Winnipeg, Saska- toon and Edmonton. T.C.A. retains the exclusive fran- chise for main air lines. Feeder and .development air routes will be oper- ated by smaller privately -owned coin- panies in which Canada's fighting air- meh will have a chance for executive toeitittifie' and management Wfierrtifeat return. Because all air franchises are under authority of the Dominion, the Federal Government will be able to exercise supervision of all commer- cial aviation, to assure proper facili- ties, at fair rates. •Seek To Avert Bitter Rivalry Canada also became the first coun- try in the world ,,to outline its inter- national post-war aviation policy when Mr. Howe tabled in the House of ConartiOns, the Dominion's proposal for joint control of international air services through an IiateAational Air Authority. It is well un'clerstood that Some satisfactory compromise on air sovereignty must be achieved ifbit- ter post-war national air rivalry is to he averted. In this respedt, Canada has given the lead. in proposing that planes of all member nations of tlis InternatiottaLAir Authority have the right of free passage over other ter- ritory, the right to deliver.paesengers from the hothe country and take on passengers within any member nation destined for the .hotne country of the Plane in transit This would permit an equitable division of international air business and assure tbe Dominion of a first -rank plaen in post-war air development, to Which it is entitled because of its .strategic:ptistitIMI Main., air routes to' illuroPe and Mina ,It alio nage* that Canada's air prestige, won bit scores of thousands Of •altellen, daring •the vat 'wilt lie maintained during pease, giving ob l's•?. • tIr.:.so,Sslp, •-re-t:4totakiai ' • ' • • are • ;i4 4.bit ,..(;t40/11g4(1,..001.440.ell these it 000/#94,.419i;V9.' s'a to have trolled -prieeS, "Ontitiolled ' ?and;011t. ot_thig'ytOre 'was "to' rine a new egrienttpre;,.144SW deral/eraffr and,'PlattSibit.stinattnle in the l'Othiaa, reachthOugbothwey34..4904, eaatrtatheanmd;danrev.t• -.• t.73 .• • ': b4,Y l‘iat MAPSthat Itiop.pful atmesphere hesitate to fling‘ acelagle digleordalit note.

A superficial view of past ev- ents suggests that the eolution may lie in that direction. If we could have stood tegetIaer, you and I, on some quiet country bridge 'overlook- . ing a stream, ie, 1913, and loll diatfid• have told •me that the wages of the workers would be doubled within the next 25 years„ I think I would have said, in,that case, that the workers would bhappy -and well content, with none of the struggles which they knew in the earlier, sterner days. The money wager' of labor are now more than'•double what they were in, 1913 and labor is more restless and discontented and dissatisfied than ev- -er before. What is at the., bottom of this? Labor knows that in 1938, be- fore the ouirreak of the war, there Was vast Unemployment even though conditions had improved since ...the, depth of the depression and labor now turns its eyes towards post-war con- 'ditions and 'wonders *hat is going to happen. MeanWhile it calls for hi•gh- er and higher wages for higher and. higher taxationproViding it is not asked to pay the 'bill—does it, on the assumption, that, in some. Way,.it can be taken out of the rieh. The farmer accents the same -point of view. He feels that his produCts may, be taken by lend-lease and used to feed the people -,-of the world. 'It. will be done, 'but, in the end, a price supported by the charity of the nu - tion 'will not long be' maintained. We cannot continue to prosper by giving away our goods.

HALL, SEAFORTH an bra of controlled prices in which 'the Canadian farmer.iS to get a high- er 'reward than he has previously re- ceived. They are to get it in an age when the ,world is 'Peoret than in pre- war days and when productive ca- pacity h.as-been deStroyed by the tragedy of war, materials have been wasted, tuen- and women, in the con- quered countries, and sometimes in the victorious countries, are suffering from a condition where the mind is incapable of directing and the body unable to provide the vitality for con- structive effort. Let us turn for a moment to an iinaiysis of this situation which ap-,. peered recently in the London Econ- omist, one of the most eminent Brit- ish publications.. A quotation or two may perhaps bring us back to reali- ties: •' , "In post-war . Britain, struggling lo keep up the national standard -of living, 1.1 will be essential to keep the Terms of Trade as favourable as possible. ' No other single fac- tor, in• the early, years; ' will so .strougly influenee the standard of cofsumption that it will be possible to provide." What is meant by the "Terme of Trade" in this connection? It refers 'to the relationship between the price at which the country buys its imports and the price at which it sells its ex- rorts. The Economist goes on tosay:, "If the prices of food and mater- ials are high. -then either"—(now note this carefully)—"real wages will have to be low, with conse- quent damage to the standard of living, or else British export prices will' have to be high, with conse- quent damage to the volume of trade and to the balance of pay- ments." Consider very carefully that singu- larly, lucid sentence. It tells more than many a Bandar(' volume, more than *lost reports on Social Secur- ity. Let us apply a to Canada. If Canadian export pries are high it will be with consequent damage to tithe voliarne of exports—that is our total Volume of exports will decline betause the people of an impoverish- ed world will not be able to purchase so much and so there will be fewer men employed in Canada producing farm products and there will be few- er employed producing manufactured products and we Shall be driven' Weak more and more towards living with- in ourselves and the process may not be a particularly happy one! The EConcimist goes on to say: "It is, of sourse, by no means in the British interest to ruin the primary Producers of the world. On the contrary, higher incomes abmng Primary producers means better markets for British, goods. But It is mast 'emphatically in the British interest to insist that those higher incomes shall be provided by great- er efficieneY, higher productivity Per Men, ie the primary producing uirdittriere antraht by the .artilitial billitetenanee Of high prices." Then. 'follows this statement: "There is no magic way by which • we can get rieher, or get 'anything but poorer, if -we have 'to work harder for our food and materials. ' The ratio between an hour of Brit- ish work and a ton of imports is a factor as basic to economic work and a ton 'of imports is, a factor to basic to economic policy as the ratio of thermal efficiency is to the engineer. In all disolssionst of com- modity , regulation schemes, it is essehtial to re,menaber that the. in- terest of the United Kingdom is that of a consumer. And the Brit- ish representatives can the more confidently insist on low prices ,through greater efficiency because they will be pleading the cause of world-wide economic expansion." ' I repeat, in the opinion Of .the Economist, with a century of experi- ence behind it, "British representa, tives can the more confidently insist oh low prices through greater effici- ency because they will be pleading the caude bf world-wide economic ex- pansion:" The case is obvious. Then may I ask why we should do the op- posite. that is, why seek world-wide economic contraction—when Canada, more than any other country, needs wbrld-wide economic etpansion? The problem is before the leaders of agri- culture in Canada. Have' theyiven it the 'full consideration its import- ance demands? • MOTH' MEN'A'CE A half inch or less of moth can launch an all out commando cam- paign against .winter woollies. In • • some ,parts of Canada it's already op- en season for moths, and the sad thing about it is that one doesn't re- alize it often Until too late.
