What A Chamber Of Commerce
Can Do
Chambers of Commerce are not by
any means new institutions in On-
. tarso towns. They- •and their older
brother organizations, known as
Boards of Trade, have been in opera-
tion 'for 'a half century and more.
And to them many towns and vil-
lages in this province owe much of
their business prosperit, as well as
' much of their civic beau
In spite of these undoubted facts,
however, Chambers of CoMmerce
and Boards of Trade seem to be very
short lived in most of .the smaller
• towns.,. Formed 'to organize or carry
out some particular civic improve-
• ment,,or settle some contentious sub-
ject of municipal government, they
• seem to remain active just so long
• as these matters are subjects of live
topic among the ratepayers, and
then their members, instead of seek-
ing new fields to conquer, seem 'to
lose interest and the organization'
dies a natural death. .
At the present 'tithe there - is a
• -Chamber of Commerce movement
that seems to be sweeping over On-
tario. The, movement has a strong,
well organized and well operated
central office, and branches are
reaching out to many, of the villages
and towns in this and' other parts of
• the province. It is a movement that
should be encouraged, because" a
Chamber of Commerce is more flex-
ible in its, organization and modes of
_procedure than a town or village
council More free to , originate
scheni'es of civic improvement -or
policy, and if its members are repre-
sentative businessmen, more able to
create and direct public opinion.
Consequently,a,,,Chamber of Coni-
merce can be of inestimable assist-
-awe -to a ,nuthicipal---council- in 'The-»,
direction and carrying out of munici-
pal affair. That has beer proven in
Seaforth, when dining the early days
of the war we had an active Chamber
• of Commerce» which paved the
way for. the town council to settle
amicably a number of, contentious -
• situations that arose through gov-
ernment intervention in business
made necessary by 'war conditions.
For the' past two years or more,
--however, our town. organization has
been practically inactive. Similar
situations, seem to have arisen in
other towns. Recently the Enter-
prise -News of Arthnr advocated a
Chamber of Commerce in that town.
and cited the accomplishments of a
former Board of Trade, now defunct.
Some of the accomplishments list-
- • ed ,were: It developed a monthly
horse fair which became a splendid
horse market
It developed Christmai" street
poultry fair.
It initiated the campaign for the
,waterworks system.
The- Board of Trade had much tb
do with having' the agricultural re-,
presentative and -his office in Arthur.
It watched closely the location of
provincial hi'ghways and. had at least
something to do with the fact that
Arthur is at, the junction of two Main
provincial .highways.

oboe factory.
It is true that the horse and buggy

though Arthur has riot had a Board

retains many of the benefit% and

00 A Canadian!.
Judging by.Haparcl speeches and
newspaper edttorials, the new Cana-
dianCitiZenShip Bill has' stirred up
bitter failings; not only arriong the
Members in the• House, but among
the people acrcias Canada.
Perhaps the bill is not all, it should
be. Perhaps some future politician
or some future government will in-
vent a better one. But in the mean-
time we are in hearty accord with
the Lethbridge Herald when it says:
"When all is said and done, what
will be engendered by the new Cana-.
than citizenship will outweigh all
the difficulties We may encounter
in getting the plan working. We
want Canada to be the home of Can-
adians, not a conglomeration of
English -Canadians, Irish -Canadians,
Swedish - Canadians, Italian - Cana-
dians, Ukranian-Canadians and Can-
adians born here of third generation
residents of Canada, Who still can't
call themselves Canadians. We want
the Canadian citizenship to mean
something here at 'home and when
we're travelling. We want a pride zin
Canadian citizenship as proud as that
of the Briton or the American. We
teed that cementing force to build a
nation."

The Earth's Population Is'
Increasing
The Population Reference Bureau
of, Washington, which makes a study
of such things, is authority for the
statement that despite war and fam-
the, the world's, population, now
about two billions, will be over 21
billions' three centuries from now.
Unfortunately for "the peace of
mind for the Western white races,
however, this great increase in popu-
lation is far' from being equally dis:
tributed, which will, undoubtedly,
threaten 'many grave dangers to the
political and social set-up of the
Western World, because the white
races are showingnosuch increase
as the, colored races and the prolific
• peoples of the Russian Empire.
The current political and economic
—problems in- Britain today take sec-
ond place to the decreasing birth rate
in that—country, which if it is not
stopped,- will drastically reduce the
population by the 'end of this, cen-
tury. It is true the United States is
still growing, but if the present rate
continues, it will reach its top popu-
lation before the next century, and
then, will start to decline.
The figures of the Population
-:ReferelThireau reveal some Other
significant facts, among them these':
About 80' per cent. of the world's
people earn less than $10 a' week in
real income. Over half of them earn
less than $4 a week. American work-
ers receive seven times as. much Teal
income as .half the' world's workers
receive, the American average wage
being, $28 a week.
The living standards of Russia are
among the world's lowest. For ex-
ample, its diet ranks 30th among 32
countries studied by Professor Ells-
worth Huntington who has made a
report on it to the .Association of
American Geographers. 'Its agricul-
tural' productivity per man on the
farm.. ranks 19th of 21 countries stu-
died and is just above that of China
and India.
Before the war, -in Italy and Japan
-the worker earned about a fourth as
much as the American worker and
the German worker. about half.
The real income of the Chinese
worker is about $1.40 a week and the
Chinese population is increasing So
fast that Dr. Warren S. Thomson, a
popnlation expert, is quoted in the
Christian Science Monitor as sayink:
"China might send forth 6,000,000
immigrants ,each year and still in-
crease its population at home.'''
• At the same time India is iricreas-
, ing its population by 'about 5,000,000
a year despite an appalling' death
ratei Indeed, if India's, death . rate
were 'reduced to the American level
and the birth rate maintained, India
could populate at least five earths as
large as this one in a single century.
China could do the 'same.'
