No one can be specifically blamed and apparently none can halt the upward trend which could con- ceivably lead td the blackest depres- sion in the history of modern man, There are theoretical causes to which inflation is usually ascribed 'by government leaders and bank press releases. One is the theory that abundance of money and a 440-age of ie:oods is the basic cause otim abnormal economy. In a more practical way, it might be pointed out that the nothing 'contributes to. this evil, situation as readily as the ...eternal .drive•in each human being to get he 'Can while the getting is good. •' • ...Labor, management and distri 7 , - billion -Services have been 'arid are still guilty. of .an unprecented greed which 'has forced upoi1 the average citizen the utter need to earn more if: be is ta feed his family. ,Of course .not even the experts can point to the e:,.c.a.ct line at which necessity ceases • avarice begins, but it is, quite "a: larent in the national picture that Somewhere along the line profits and earnings have reached an un.- 1-teard-otlevel. 4nfoittmately the big part of ' this :'Noot."-• is likely: to :fall-into the ;hands of :the big operators and Nye have too many pi' that type in our community.

'there is little room , :for doubt' h4t- the government needs the aney, but the :source of revenue iS 1. I-Chosen. Taxes levied on the sale iof,such luxuries as tobacco, liquor and amusements are all well and good, They must be accepted on the theory .that the man who has the tnoney ,for luxuries is best fitted to the burden of public costs, - However,. Sit is highly possible that far .the greater percentage of all.. consumed in this country is burned up in the pursuit of business. What of the commercial travelers, • the truckers, the doctors, ministers and dozens of others who use motor vehicles as a necessary adjunct to •oarning their livings? A•riSe of two cents per gallon in the price of gasoline represents an increase of 5 percent in the cost. That is a fairly Step,Iltike for the trucker, who "is already paying a 1siteable portion Of his gasoline dol- lar,in taxes, and who also turns over, 'arge . payments to the government for his annual license fee, It is true, of course, that the .ontornobile iS a luxury tfy many, em.- +toyed as it is, purely for pleasure, id fli such cases the extra taatioHn „May be levied with good reason, dis- itaatbria thouglii'it may be. flusineS-S- ' 0,.

Despite his long record' of public , service in high posts, Harold Mac- Millan was not a familiar figure in the public ;in overseas ',countries.' People did not feel that- they knew, him as -they knew, or, thought they 'knew Sir Anthony Eden. They are pleased, 'perhaps evert a little sur- Prised, to discover that the patrician and intellectual Mr. MacMillan. hasf• exceptional vigor, decisiveness' and - faith in Britain's greatness. The military venture into 11,gypt may have shown, as many believe., that Britain is' no longer able to carry out important foreign ,,policy :decisions independently; but this is not at all, the same thing as Saying that Britain isTho longer a great and powerful nation, What are tile elements of Bri- tain'S, continuing greatness? rirs,t of all, there are her 50 million People with.their deserved rendwrtfor inventiveness and eriergy,as traders. - Then there is Britain's lively, demo- cracy, talent for teaching. it to others, sound judgment in world affairs (the-final verdict on Suez is 8tili 'to be heard) and leadership in .•. opposition to tyrannies. There is 'Britain's continuing , responsibility, for the welfare and progress of millionS in African and other lands emerging from colonial status. THere is Britain'S eminence in literature, art, science and laW. But, Britain has not always been a Solo performer on the world stage.: Britain's strength has lain, to a large degree, in partnership with like- minded states, The Commonwealth, linking India and Pakistan to the West in a unique bond, is still luSty and useful even though its members use their freedom to disagree. Anglo-American friendship, •*hich necessarily means an interaction of influence, remains a fact. T3ritain's pre:stige in West Europe, with which her links may be strengthened, is still formidable: ; The British people have abitn- dant reason for self-confidence and their new political chief is to he applauded, for reminding them of the fact. °PIM fACES .wtto .aetend0 . the annual „f the Wingham General -recently may have .been d, to learn of the critical Artake of *hied nurses, 'which ,l!ces the institution, • We have all ...owl, generally aware that nurses Are not 'too, plentiful, 'halt) find that ;there is -indeed some danger to,. the /roper .operation ..of the hospital is another matter.. it ,is understood, that .one, of the.

Another Chief just i ce says that it would be uriconstitutional if Ontario proceeded with its draft of 'amendments to have, the board fix a license fee against producers for ,the purpose Of equalizing re - terns or building tip the Board' Money reserves. ' Which all adds up to this in the -opinion of another.. •• hat the Lleatehatit Governor iii Council was not ertipavvered to ati- prone the Hog scheme Or declare It to be in force.

In office after office, it is recorded that because Of the high percent- age of mail received prior to the recommended mailing date, De - ember 17th, and the steady Un- proven-lent in the Preparation and addressing of mail,' the task of effecting delivery before' Christmas Day was greatly facilitated. ' Based on Past experience, it is estimated that approximately 275,- 000,000 Christmas earns and ptir- eels are ,received for handling each year, over and -above the regular ,flow of Mail. Trak extra load intist be disposed of in the three weeks prier to Christmas Day. While very extensive temporary arrange- ments are made for the ,use of ad- ditional staff, working space and transportation facilities; the vahie of a fell Meanare- of pantie' eo-rop'-' eratioh 'in' mailing early is obvious. The assistance We are' receiving in this reapeet is increasing year by' year as more and more people be- come aware of thaneed, and I can assure you there is not- a postal worker in the country who does not appreci a te 'the: help and con- sideration thus accorded. The newspapers of Canada once, again played a nntable-and gener- ous part in making the - public' aware of the advantages in mailing early and for ,this the Postal Ser:. vice of Canada is deeply grateful. Yours .sinceroly, Turabull,, . Depoty Pestinaster general On the otner nand, it should be pointed out that Mr. McInnis is justly Within, his own right 'to be- lieve and to wish to 'organize the hog producers to market their hogs colleetiveln, if they so desire. Again this ail'acids up to livelier competition between , the man already in businesa arid 'the' corn- petition offered by the' Co-op move- ment. .The fad that hogs have been consistently higher by. 50e. a hun- dred around Chatham for the last feiv months tarot the price estab, lished by the Board in.

Farmer, your Co-op may be a strong com- petition, but your local buye r is Still a factor hi this county... • Perhaps you should „compare note S with the producers- of grey & Bruce Cou nties where the Board has direction of-all the hog* But " why boast abOut the price obtained for hogs when' the de- mand exceeds '!the supply? Any- body can sell hogs when, circum- stances are sugh as they are now. Why, the Montreal market al- Mast , the higher than Tor- onto -and the province of Quebec hasn't. got a -marketing sCherne. What about a glut situation which has been unknown for the last 4 or 5 years? What if there were more ,hogs on the market than was required by the domestic trade? Would the Packets go out of their way' to, accommodate' Mn McInnis & Co. for being told by him what they will pay Or hogs and how, Much profit they should make? ' When the channels Of private ienterprise have failed, Mr. Mc- Inhia would find himself with a job on his hands. There is also a very unfair as- pea' to the iesent situation as it relates tit, the producer or the Shipper who may be, a produeer himself and who has to pay 240 per, 'hog to the Marketing board Who Is Supposed to have marketed his hogs, The individual shipper and producer is eonapelled to sub- /Mize Mr. Melanie's enterprise With that kind of Malley for a job he actually never did; 'Whieh again Is proven by the fact that there IS Still a variation of Prices in Ont- ario which. will or Should always be for the simple reason that the position and demand ler these hogs cannot possibly be the sante all Over the provinee.
