The C.C.F. party also sought to cap- italize on the rise of -milk prices and David Lewis, the national secretary; claiming that it "permitted producers and distributors to squeeze the last cent out of the consumer." Liberal and Conservative candidates are ag- gressively discussing the value of price controls, the government's labor policies and the re-establishment of veterans. The high voinme of em- ployment is stressed by Liberal cam- paigners to show that Liberal poli- cies are more effective than the de- control policies that were followed of ter World War 1.

The progressive Con-- servatives have a. lawyer, C. C. MiI- ter, • K.C., and the C.C.F. with a far- mer; Sydney Coulthard. The Con- serva,tive campaign is aimed against the government's price control policy and against the wheat and other farm produce agreements made with Great Britain, .with John: Bracken leading the campaign against the government. •The leadership in the campaign for the Liberal candidate is taken by Hon.

A National Effect? What effect on the government if it loses the by-elections? The Pro- gressive • Conservatives make the' claim in Portage that, if the govern- ment loses it will eventually, perhaps soon, indicate that the Conservatives will take over the government,. Against this ,it is 'argued that the government is sure of a majority in the Hnus.e of at least 18 on any want - of -confidence motion. It is also argued that, although the last Gallup Poll shows,' the Liberal strength as being the same as in the general election of 1945, the breakdown of the poll shows a Liberal gain in most Cana- dian provinces, witb..an offsetting,loss in Quebec. Close followers of the ups and .downs of political •.thought agree that the by-elections would, have no effect except, In the prestige of the parties winning or losing. For Your Information Perhaps no one knows the exact number of houses needed in Canada but we do know that few houses were built or could have been built during he it is agreed by experts that the number required is not less than 300,00.• It is obvious then" that reach of this must be provided at nce by 'emergency housing. The Government's central housing orporation has bent its greatest en- rgies to obtaining—by government rders where- necessary—all possible mote space, both privately and pub- icly owned, to be 'turned over to unicipalities for housing, the Feder - 1 government sharing in the cost of onversion, for dwelling purposes. ore than a thousand apartments ave been provided in this way for rried ,veteran students. A Fighting Issue It is becoming clear that the. lead..- g issue in Canada's home .political elle wilt be the question' of price d wage controls involving as it does uch problems as: (1) ,the extent of overnment's responsibility for the onduct of business whether it be usiness by publicly owned corpora - ons, federal, provincial and munici- 1, business by corporations, by pri- ate individuals or by co-operatives; ) ' the extent of the government's sponsibility 'for the conduct of lab - unions; (3) the extent of the gov- rnment's responsibility to find mar- ts particularly, 'for farm products t also for - the "products of mines, heries and forests.

Clean Up Garden Despite ,the recent introduction of several new and valuable insecticides, such as DDT, benzene hexachioride ("666")., • Velsicol 1068, and others,,.the, cleaning up .of refuse in gardens at this season of the year to reduce the numbers of insects going into hiber- nation is just as valuable and neces- sary as it ever, was, says Alan G. Dustan, Division of Entomology, Dom- inion Department, of Agriculture. With the approach of winter many species of insects seek cover in any convenient shelter within and outside the garden, such as on standing crop refuse, beneath piles of rubbish, in matted grass or , headlands, along fence rows and generally in - waste lands where°protection from the vag- aries of the weather is naturally pro- vided. Such places of concealment should be removed and destroyed by burningor burying before winter sets in. This practice -at once removes po- tential pest's which otherwise will em- erge next spring to threaten the new crops..' Where possible, tall plowing...sliou-ld be done. Dead and dying vegetation should be raked up and burned. Stands of weeds in nearby wastelands should be scythed and destroyed or; better still, the whole area - should .be burned over under supervision, so that the fire will not get beyond con- trol. Cocoons should be scraped from fences, buildings andshrubbery and, egg -masses' of insects where present cut from trees and bushes and de- stroyed. Ie other words, a complete Clean up campaign should be care- fully planned axid;Carried pet in and around every g October is a suitable month for uch work. petition would keep prices from rising. The other parties 'represented in the House of Commons,. the C.C.F. 'and Social Credit, stand somewhere in between in this iseue. The C.C.F. Party claim that controls should, be taken off wages, refusing to admit that ,higher wages means higher pric- es for the goods purchased by farmer and laborer. It pine. its -faith to an emotional appeal ag'aist business and profits. The Social "Credjt Party con- tend that only the acceptance of their monetary theory can create maximum production and maximum consump- tion. , ' Many observers believe that the outcome of -the struggle on, this issue will decide the fature prosperity and happiness of Canad kne for a • genera- tion or more. - Trade PIans for the International Confer- -eine on --world trade are rapidly 'tak- ing., shape and indicate an. awareness of the importances of trade to the peace of the world. Canada is par- ticularly dependent on exportmarkets and thinking -Canadians realize the importance. of getting markets now while- the demand for our products is great. Channels of trade change slow- ly and markets 'obtained now will mean - a great -deal to. our 'farmers and workers when goods -are more plentiful and harder to ,sell. Products of Canada's forests -=wood products and paper—take first place in export records ..for the first eight months of 1946. Agriculture and vege- table products come second and ani- mals and animal ptoiItiets (including fish)' come third. .'large drop from the first eight months' of• 1945 is shown by iron and' its products due to the stoppage of munitions and war vehicles. The total or exports is One- third less than the first eight months of 1945 but 568 million dollars More than the total for 1939. In Canada, one milli+An more, per- sons are "gainfully employed" at this date than in 1939.. Experts consider that the physical reconversion of industry to peace- time production is two-thirds com- plete now after one l year of peace. Tax exemptions are higher, that is Canadians have larger exemptions than in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand or United States. Further ex` emptions commence January •1, 1947.
