up in Russia on the abolition of the
t.aflic in .whiskey was not from ab•
stainers, but from the hoists of men
who had found themselves enslaved by
their insatiable appetite for liquor. It
it for this reason, and for the reason
that so many of the men who went

liquor before they lett here have be-
come habituated -to it by the grog ra-
tion, that we are pleading for peremp-

gztraordinary Times, Extraordinary
Measurer.
Toronto world.
Last week The Hamilton Herald in-
formed a listening world that the
Government could do little or nothing
towards fixing prices owing to the in-
exorable laws of supply and demand.
It almost seems as though The Retold
did not yet fully realize that the
greatest war of the world was going
On, and that the laws of supply and
demand were about as worthy of re-
spect as they are in an open boat in the
middle of the ocean crowded to the
gunwale. with a limited supply of
bread and water 00 board. The world
is an open boat at present in the ocean
of space. The food supply is inade-
quate to the unlimited nature of the
voyage, and all that can he done ie t
put us on talion., if w• had leaders
with backboue enough to do,nio*le the
situation, and tell the laws of
supply and demand to go hang. Be-
hind the laws of supply and demand
urks the man with a .',ell -!filed puree,
who thinks he has a better right to
fill his hungry stomach than another
man with a less well•Nlled purse, or
no purse at all. Tbis is the fallacy in
the "laws of supply and demand"
which it is the busness of govern-
ments and Herald newspapers to de-
tect ; and it is their failure to do so

•
The Ontario Organisation of Re-
sources Costmittee, of which Sir Juh o
tteudrle,Lieu lenast-Goveruor,ld chair-
man, and Premier Hearst one of the
vice-chalrwen, has sent Out r wort
significant circular dealing with the
food situation. This circular says in
part :
"When the King, under the advice
of bis Ministers, etnslders it oeoersrry
to be ecouowioal and thrifty in the
use of foul in the trios of the dire
menace of the submarine, tbere is
go -td cruse for disquiet oo the part of
the citisene of the Empire every-
where. It ought tt be brought bows
to everybody on the side sit the En-
tente Allies that they all stand or fall
together. If Great Britain Jr beaten
by any means, whether by the buts
matinee in being starved out, or in
any other way, ell the Allies are
beaten, and there's, an end uu't• Con-
sequently, whatever personal feeling
anyone may entertain over the situa-
tion, whatever annoyance, or anxiety,
or panic, he must have it brought
Bowe to him that be is in a degree
respoorible for the .ituatiuu and its
remedy.
"The table of submarine tosses indi-
cates a very serious condition of af-
fairs, for it shows an increase over the
earlier weeks of the sew undersea
causpaign. And it show., also, that
the arrivals, the cargo boats going to-
ward Britain, suffer as esverely u
those outward -hound. This weans
that food is being thrown to the fishes
by the ruthless Getman method, and
at a time when the food rnppliee of
the world are at a lower ebb than they
have ever been before.
"There is, therefore, the problem of
replanng ships ; of replacing food
that has been destroyed, arid of main -
tanning sufficient food in Britain to
obviate capitulation ; of increasing
the area sown sufficiently t,; double
the crop of last year, and• to establl,h
supplies sufficient to meet the demand
next vert, which will be far greater,
whether we have peace or war, than
at, present.
'The fittest despatches from the We. t
announce that sowing Is three weeks
later than the average of the Isar
twelve petted. In Graaf Britain the
seeding has been delayed by as phe-
nomenally baikwai•d season. In Ire-
land, rix feet of suow in April is re-
ported as an evidepce of iter uhuaual
weather. And they neve r have more
than'riz weeks' provision abe..d in the
Old country."
After quoting * statement from The
New Yurk Morning Telegraph, in
which it is urged that, while there is
no need for a panic,, Americans are
under a moral obligation L . eronow,ze
and to produce because every pound
tit food they save or produce will aid
In the common cause, the circular con-
tinues :
•Tbe points to be noted are First,
that a large surplus of food it needed
to support our Attire ; second, that
the boarding of pt•ovt.foos is a crime
and a folly •a well ; and, third, that
we should have a toot] euotrtdtere with
ample puyvervtar0g4be prrcaw letup
boarding and stimulate production.
"Iii Oaoeda, as iu the [Jolted State=,
sr The Telegraph says, There term sired
for panic about food. Bur IN CAN-
ADA THERE iS REAL NEED FOR
A PANIC ABOUT THE GOVERN-
MENT. LITTLE ottNOTHING IHAs
•BEEN DONE OR SEISMS LIKELY
TO B14 DONE AT PRESENT, to regu-
late the conditions, as is urgently
needed, of production, of prices, of
storage and distribution, and of pri-
vate boarding. It is the fear that the
Government will 1101 take the precau-
tions eleceessty to prevent the people
becoming panicky. Tbeir experience
with coal during the winter did not
tend to allay their fean or restore con-
fidence.
WHAT Iii NEEDED IS GOVERN-
MENT LEADERSHIP. AND THAT
1S WHAT 18 MAINLY WANTING
Private enterprise, at the behest of
the Provincial Government, is doing
all that id being done for the stimula-
tion of production hereabouts. We
need a food minister, who would have
the feeding of our Allies air well as of
ourselves on his conscience, and the
proper steps to be taken in his head.
"There ouabt to be av immediate
veto by the Government on the raising
of prices. This is what is driving the
people to panic more than the fear of
scarcity ; they know that their wages
or salaries are heed quantities, and
they see prices .oaring, and continu-
log to soar, until they feet that if the
middleman is going on indefinitely in
his business of bleeding the public
