SEAFORTH, Friday, March 22, 194(
A Strike To End All Strike*
• As a protest- against industrial
labor StreS, there is a movement on
foot in some of the Middle Western
States, across the line, to organize
farm strikes. As the farmers see it,
labor disputes are preventing them
from purchasing the machinery and
goods they require to produce, while
at the same time the government is
urgm. g them to'produce more and
more. Now the farmer says either
urban industry will give them the
goods, or urban industry will have to
do without food.
And it could easily be just as sim-
ple as that. The farmer could go on
a sit-down strike. Raise just enough
for the needs of himself and -family
• and could continue to live that way
almost indefinitely. That is decided-
ly more than the people in cities and
• urban centres can do. In fact such a
situation would spell starvation for
people in large districts of the coun-
try.
It is improbable that the move-
ment will reach the state of a gen-
• uine, general and organized farmers'
strike, because such a strike would
• not only end all strikes, but might
• eventually end civilization, and ac-
complish it more completely than an
atomic bomb or a rain of them could
do it. ,„
At the same time there is a grow-
ing feeling, not only among farmers
but among some thinking union
• members, that labor unions and poli-
• ticians catering to the unions for
• labor votes, have given some labor
•- unions a power -beyond the limits of
public safety, and--publie-bpinion_is
being aroused now as it has been on
former occasions in the past, for
• similar reasons..
• Until labor learns the undisputable
fact that real security to the laborer
-can onlybe accomplished by produc-
ing more and using profits to reduce )
•. prices, instead of unduly inflating
wages, its security goal will be
reached. And at present labor lead-
.
ers ,are showing no inclination to
give this fact any consideration, let
• al neacting upon it. •
• situation has not in any way
• been -improved by the recently issued
report of Mr. Jnstice Rand-, which,
for all practical purposes would force
industrial workers to become mem-
bers of unions, whether they wished'
to. or not. And in addition, to con-
tribute to union funds, while disap-
proving of the unions themselves.
The unwise use of the power or-
ganized •labbr has been granted or
seized is creating a problem not only
in the States but in Canada, that is
becoming increasingly acute, and if
governments do not soon recognize
that fact, and apply a remedy, the •
world at large, and particularly that
forgotten man, the consumer, will
not disapprove very much if the
farmer does it for them.
•
E.xpanding Immigration
• Since the close of the war the qttes-
tion of increase a immigration in
Canada has become a live topic. Be-
cause of its size, its almost untouch-
• ed wealth of national resources, and.
its mere handful of population, its
opportunities are - being closely scan-
• ned by the War-torn and famished
peo_plof many turopean conntries-
and others in the world.
That Canada could- easily support
a -population doubler- or even treble -
that it now possesses is an undiSput-
• able fact. •But at the same time, its
present owners have -a perfect right
to stipulate who their new' tenants,
..if any, shall be, or to what class of
toile they propose to.sell their sur -

Limited, spoken "before "the district
conference cit.ltotary Qlubs--at Osh-
awO4. are. timely,. and worth a good
deal of consideratien and stncly.
Mr. Duncan said: "Wemust de-
velop our country br. inereasing its
population, which, means inumgra-
-flan: I do not advocate the open-door
immigration policy, but I do strong-
ly recommend that we should send
carefully -chosen representatives to.
eStablish themselves, in all the desir-
able European countries, and there
to select people who, through their
scientific training, their skills, their
artisanship, their character, and
their physical backgrounds, are
equipped to become useful citizens of
this country."
. That is a sound immigration pol-
icy. It is true that agriculture will
remain Canada's basic industry as
well asitseconomy, but at the same
time industry,can support a greater
• population than agriculture. Conse-
quently an imMigration policy should
get under way as soon as possible,
• and it should be one that will greatly
increase our skill to pros manu-
factured goods as welras adding to
the development of Canada's agri-
culture.
•
Farmers' Income Tax
Canada needs wheat for domestic
Use and export. And Canada has
wheat for both. But recently there
has been connnent, if not complaint,
that Western farmers are holding
large quantities of wheat on their
farms because of income tax regula-
tions.
In the Western Provinces the
farmers' basic crop is wheat, and
lacking income tax regulations, this
wheat would have been in the eleva-
• tors long ago. But unlike his Ontario
brother, the Western farmer is at a.
decided disadvantage when he comes
• to figure out his income tax. When
he delivers his wheat to the elevator,
• his income from it immediately be-
coMes knoWn to the Government,
whieh' automatically collects its pro- •
'portion.
Consequently, by withholding, a
proportion of his wheat from deliv-
ery, he is able to a greater or less ex-
fat- to control his incomewith a
view of saving as much as he' desires
from the income tax. If his last
year's crop is such that he will have
to pay little or no income fax provid-
• ed he holds his grain on the farm un-
• til the end of the tak. year, it would
• seem reasonable for him to do just
that. And he does.
The increase in farm- income 'in
1944 for Canadian farmers was 143
• per cent. over farm income in 1939,
but federal income tax regulations
• do nOt__consider, the. fact -that _47._
though a farmer may be prosperous
• enough for two or three years to en- ,
• able him to pay an income tax, he
might Have gone through double that
• number of years when he did not
have crop enough to enable him to
either buy or replace necessary
machinery, or to, make any improve-
ments to his farm or buildings.
• For that reason the Minister of
Agriculture for Manitoba has sug-
• gested that for income tax, purposes,
farmers' incomes should be figured
over a five-year period. It is a sug-
gestion too, that we think, should be
given a good deal of consideration
at the hands of the taxing authori-
ties, because it very often. _happens
that in a five-year period, a farmer
-
might have three or four bad crops
that would ,cause him a loss double
• that of the gain he made in a year or
two years when he had bumper crops.
Under all farming, conditions it
would seem only fair that the -Gov-
ernment employ a system Qf aver-
ages when computing the farmers'
income tax. It would raise more
money, and raise it with less _heart-
burn too.

Marketing the Woodlot
(Paris Star)
" Helping a farmer to exploit and use his Wood -
lot to the beet advantage, .however, is only half
the problem, • Very often, even on woodlots, where
ell the produets could be used on the fatfin, there
are products, such as saw legs, of pine -hard-
wood which would bring high prices if marketed
at the best plate. Oftee, too, It °Court that some

Competition or Beef Producers
.Wartime experience has indicated
Canada's ability to freeze and hip
carcass and boneless beef overseas in
substantial quantities. • However, this
method of disposingltot surplus beef
does involve considerably greater
costs of processing, storing and ship-
Pingebeen the,.prezwar Practice of •seln,
ing surplus cattle on the hoof, says
H. K. Leckie, writing in 'a, recent is-
sue of the Economic.. Annalist.
Economicelly. the beef industry in
Canrala as now brgabized, is not in
tbe best position 'to compete with
zeveral- of the sueelus beef -producing
countries 'in tle Southern Hemi-
sphere. Unless Canadian beef be -
:comes' better 'able to. Meet competi-
tion on, the world market, the num-
bers of cattle will have to be adjust-
ed downward considerably from the
present record wartime level, explains
Mr. Leckie. It is possible, of course,
that a satisfactory ,overeerie market
might continue to develop. 'for rela.-
tively limited quantities of super -
quality Canadian beef. •
This, however, does not offer •
solution to two of the most important
beef -marketing problenis, nartiely,,that‘
of marketing feeder Cattle in the fall
and heavy winter -fed steers ;in the
spring. With a market for 'surplus
beef now assured until at least' the
end of. 1946, cattle producers have
the rather unique opportunity to re-
duee inventories gradually without
suffering, the drastic price declines
