FARMERS EXPECT WAR BARGAIN KEPT
In discu,asing privilege, The Scene, published from
Shingwauk Farm, Muskoka, by John Atkins, is
not aware that war compelled the extension of the
privaleges of power of the Government of Canada and the
establishment of privileges for many •classes of citizens.
The wisdom or unwisdom of each of these privileges may
be left to history; The net result was that Canada saved
its chance to achieve democracy, abandoning temporarily
many democratic rights which anust be restored fully before
democratic capitalism can ftmotion effectively again.
Whatever the merit of each of the measures taken
may be, the sum total of the war measures brought Canada
to victory in better Shape than any belligerent country in
the world. But these very mebsures can destroy democracy,
and compel us to live as if we were perpetually at war, if
they are extended unduly into the period of reconstruction.
The government has said that the elimination of '
war expedients is merely a /natter of timing, end discussions
regarding them are revolving around "when" among the
great majority who believe in using democratic capitalism
to produce democratic progress.
None of the war measures was wholly equitable to
agriculture which lied sunk so low in (the pre-war economy
that it was politically impossible to restore farming to
complete equity with other industries by wartime adjust-
ments. Labor would not have tolerated prices which would
have given farmers parity with urban workers in wages
and hours. The best that could be done was to adjust farm
prites to give the average farm owner -worker approxim-
ately half as much per hour as urban garbage collectors.
The consumer subsidies were a means of keeping
food prices down, of direct benefit to urban workers. Ceil-
ing prices kept the prices of farm produce below demand
levels. Farmers contributed hundreds of millions of dollars
to the war effort in low prites. They accepted the dis-
parities, and by =equalled civilian effort maintained
phenomenal production on the assurances of the govern-
ment and the people of Canada that they would not be let
down when the war was wort.
All the guarantees, floor prices, and other measures
designed to stabilize agriculture temporarily when world
supply and demand comes into balance, will not redress the
losses farmers contributed to victory during one year. Can-
ada owes Canadian agriculture billions a dollars that went
to urban Canadians during the war period. Farmers expect
the small part of this debt necessary to sustain agriculture
temporarily, at low levels compared with urban earnittgs,
to be paid.
Whether the wartime agriculture policy was the
wisest or not, will be decided by history. It was, perhaps.
the best that could be done. It was part of a war policy
that brought the end a armed conflict and gave farmers
and all others a chance for peace. There can be no doubt
about whether the wartime bargain with farmers is to be '
kept. Farmers will not be enjoying any privilege in what-
ever is done to sustain agriculture. They will be accepting
a few cents on the dollar in payment of a great national
debt.

Perhaps it never has beeit pointed out to them, but
the fact remains that single men With farm experience
cannot draw unemployment insurante benefits if they re-
fuse available farm work which will be regarded as suitable
for theta in future. Why is not any work suitable for any
Canaclian who is fit for it? Why should hardworking

Conservation of
Soil
Immediate action is needed to pre•
serve millions of acres of Canadiai
land from runination iby wind am
water erosion, is ithe warning given
in The Royal Bark of Canada Month-
ly Letter for August.
Within reach of everyone, east and
west, there are evidences of irrepar-
able loss of topsoil, and unless the
world is to go in for soilless culture
of crops it is time for a big effort
ueing all the resources of moder
science and ingenuity.
The article continues in part: "Th
population of the world has increased
from 465 million around the year 1650
to somewhere about 2,200 million.
That means, if eveayone is to have
three meals a. day, an additional
drain on farm land of 1,900,000,000,-
000 meals out of every year's erop
of grains, vegetables, livestock fod-
der, and all the other things which
contribute to human diet. Yet in 1941
there were more than 4 million acres
of abandoned farms in the, Prairie
Provinces, an acreage which, at the
long-time average yield of 15.0 bush-
els per acre .might produce 62,400,000
bushels of wheat a year if the land
had been saved.
"While the tragic history of a few
decades has Rimmed attention on
sections of the Canadian West, the
need for preservation and restoration
e erop-growing soil in eastern Can-
ada is also pressing, , The 'Garden
Province' is being washed away, little
by little. Workmen had to go through
99 feet of mud to reach a solid
foundation for bridge piers at Char-
lottetown, 'mud' which was once the
fertile topsoil of crop -growing acres.
In New Brunswick it is reported that
one week of high water in the Saint
John River carried down as inuch silt
OF would eover more than 3,000 acres
to a depth of one inch. Ontario is
exercised because not only are good
agricultural lands being swept away,
adding new devastation to the aband-
oned lands which should never have
been opened to agriculture, but the
rivers are being spoiled because silt
injures the _chances of breeding and
feeding Bill. Quebec has set aside
a teneyear fund of tett million dollars
to be spent on approved schemes of
land utilization.
s There a Limit?
By
R. J. Deachman, ex M. P. for North
Huron
Our friends, the Americans, are an
oenellyeziumogrePesegi.le, They ere like' us'
oup of Democratic -Republican
Senators have exempted meat, dairy
products' poultry, eggs and tobacco
from the ,speration of the new price
regulations now upfoe consideration.
I ani not now discussing the whole
problem of priee aontrol out if there
is going to be none control, it must
aPale" to wages and farm• products as
well as to other things.
1 Farm products are mercurial. They
rise sharply under preeeure,
swiftly at other times. The rate of
wages is a factor in the cost of pro-
duction. Labor points oat persistent-
ly that increase in capacity to pro,
duce minimizes this difficulty. That
is to say if labor nrodnee,,
is entitled to receivnore. ,
It forgets that increase in capacity
to produce is brought about by the in-
stallation of new equipment which has
a tendency to make labor the less.
efficient instrument of production.
That is inachinery displaces mens The
United States, however, with stupen-
dous faith in its own power, feels that
it can ignore economic laws, go its
own pace, write its own story.
Here is another paragraph from.
a leading New York daily:
'Surveys of hotel directories
show .that the increase in rates
range generally from 15 per cent
to more than 100 per cent since pro -
war days".
This refers to hotel accommodat-
ion for tourists during the summer
Many inns which were abandoned be --
fore the war because of guest short-
ages, will re -open and will do capaci-
ty business with rates a8 high as$50
a day for two persons. Hi
ere s a
paragraph which shows how things
move:
"A hotel in the Adironclaeks,
formerly $8—up a day for twog,aliaonurd
summer hotel in New En
quotes rates of F20 to $80: A big
charged $15 to $30 a day, double,
before the wax. It is getting $96
to $50 this season, Another New
England inn, which was' on the ver-
ge of dosing in 1941, is filled: up
with guests paying "14 to $28 a
day for two persons.
What will be the up -shot of all this.
The new -rich will patronize them de-
n spite cost but there are tens and sco-
'res of nullions of Atcnericans who can-
not afford to pay $50 a day for an
hotel roomfor twos nor even a quart-
er of it, and so other accomodation
will develop. Once more the tourist
cabins will come back, Some hotels
now charging exorbitant prices will
be closed, people will find the simple
life moye refreshing. Enjoyment
does not atwaes consist in paying
more for a thing than it is worth.

Once long years ago, it would be
back in 1940 or thereabouts, put
down in one column the national in-
come a the United States beginning
with the year 1913, jumped then to
1929 and Consecutive years to 1939,
the year which started World War II.
I then divided this by total population
which gave the average per capital
income, then I divided this by the
cost of living on; the basis of 1923-25
equals. a 'hundred; and the per capita
income adjusted for changes hi the
cost of living averaged lower M the
period 1929 to 1939 than it did in 1933
All of which, with some sadness,
leads tie to the conclusion that --"All
is not gold that glitters" or as Chauc-
er put he "It is not alle golde that
glareth". Apparently this aphorism
is old but still true.
"Soil erosion has been called a
'creeping death.' It is 310t Only fatal
to growth of plants but the develop-
ment of man. Concurrent with a
farmer's realization that his farm is
washing or blowing away, with con-
sequent loss of growth and revenue,
there cones loss of morale. A imrel
population of prosperous and content-
ed ft:liners is an asset every country
needs, but if morale is destroyed, and
farmers become apathetic, the whole
country suffers. Prosperity on in-
dividual farms brings with it benefit
to neighbouring merchants, distant
suppliers of farm machinera, and fac-
tories all over the Dominion. These
successful farmers contribute to the
national income, and they provide ex-
portable goods which increase Can-
ada's world trade, with consequent
raising of the standard of living
throughout the country.
