Food Spoilage
In warm weather food spoils very
quickly, especially meat, meat stock
and foods prepared with milk and.
eggs. To avoid spoilage food should
be cooled as quickly as possible after
cooking', kept at a refrigerated tem-
perature and used up promptly. -Care-
less purchase, preparation, or, refrig-
eration often results in summer ill-
ness.. -
When there is danger of contamina-
tion from flies, foods must be kept
covered. These household: pests are
known to be disease .carriers. Houses
should be well screened to keep thein
out, :and all garbage should' be kept
in covered containers and disposed of
as -soon as possible.
To prevent wastage of bread from
mould, the bread box should be well
ventilated and also scrubbed and air-
ed once. a week, ,especially during
humid, summer weather. Wrappings
should be removed from bread before
it is 'placed in the bread box and no
left -over slices allowed to accumulate.

Who Will Control
The Controllers ' ?
In our last talk we asked "who will control the
controllers?”
One of the great strengths of democracy has
been that it sought to leave each man to lead his
own'life as free as possible from outside inter-
ference, Government or otherwise. The one limi-
tation on the individual has always been that the
exercise of his freedom must not interfere with
the freedom of others., As life has• grown more
complicated, the danger. of one man's freedom
interfering with that of another has increased,
and we 'fiave found it necessary for the State,
which represents all the people, to exercise more
and' more control, even in peacetime. Supporters
of the individualist system recognize this.
To ensure that the exercise of power by• any
individual shall not be excessive, the State, re-
presentingall classes; maintains itself" in the 'posi-
tion of judge, controller, regulator, arbitrator,
and, in the main, it -confines itself to these roles.
It does, of course; supply numerous public ser-
vices such as non-competitive natural monopolies,
, notably water and light, but it has expandad its
economic activities gradually and has been•,con-
tent to act in the main as the regulator antl4,not
the mainspring.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
What will happen if it steps out in a big way
to operate virtually„ everything itself? If 'the
regulator becomes the mainspring, then who regu-
lates? The answer can be got- quite clearly by
'looking at Germany. and Italy. In these coun-
tries, once the- political power began to operate
the economic machine it at once became clear
that complete regimentation was necessary, with
the necessary force behind to make sure that the
decrees of the dictatorial power were carried
out. The question of controlling the controllers
here, of course, never even arose—who could
regulate or control the supreme power in the
State? Once the regulator becomes the main-
spring then the mainspring has nothing to regu-
late it.
This seems so clear that one wonders Why
the Socialists do not see it. They do, in fact,
see that there is •a problem and try to answer
it, but being unversed in the practical working
of Government their answer is entirely unprac-
tical and unrealistic; They fall back on such
statements as "The principle of Cabinet responsi-
bility or ultimate democratic control must be re-
tained in the running of State industry." But
any one who will reflect on the way Government
is carried -on will realize that. - "ultimate demo-
cratic control" must be enttfely confined to prin-
ciples and policies and cannot possibly have to
'do with the details of [day-to-day business. In
other words, a few men comprising a committee
of Parliament (the Cabinet) must make all the
say -to -day decisions. ,
BUDGET AS AN EXAMPLE
Take as an illustration the .budget. We all
know that In practice (and it is. the only prac-
tical way) the Minister of Finance and his expert
assistants pre -pare the budget, that it is approved
by the Cabinet, and then goes before the Parlia-
ment, .where the Government majority puts it
through. Under the socialist plan, instead of
the Government confining itself in the main to
regulate measures to direct and control other
people, it will be carrying on the great bulk 'of
the., hation's business itself, and •to suggest that
there will be "ultimate democratic control" is
merely playing with words. Frankly, the situa-
tion is that a few men, without any one to con-
trol them, will run' the whole show. There will
be no one to control the controllers, and remem-
ber that the proposed controllers almost certain-
ly will be 'men without . ny practical experience
in affairs. And yet they are ready to assume
▪ responsibilities from which competent men with
a lifetime of training and experience would
shrink.
How Socialism Affects How Socialism A fects'
The Farmer - The Trade Unionist
In this talk we -shall deal with socialism as
it would affect farmers. After stating that the
major proposal of socialism is the public owner-
ship and operation of such things as .banking,
railways; flour mills, pulp and paper, heavy chem-
•icals, the . Research Committee of the League for'
Social Reconstruction, in its book, "Democracy
Needs Socialism," says: "Agriculture, retail
trade industries, which are really" competitive,
and small businesses will probably, continue for
some time to be privately owned, although their
output and its distribution will be related to the
national plan."
It will be.cold comfort to the farmer who Wish-
es to -have some control over bis own affairs to
be told that "probably" --not certainly—he will be
left' in control of his own land. It will ire still _
colder comfort to have the words "for some time"
added. There is, however, one certainty—that
is, "output andits distribution will be related to
the national plan."
PART OF CONTROLLED SYSTEM
What 15 meant by the phrase "related to the
national plan"? It means, of course, that it will
be part of a. controlled system. It could• not be
otherwise, because the final objective of social-
ism is- the control• of production and distribution.
10 other words, the farmer may continue to pro-
duce but- the Government' will look after the busi-
ness end by taking over and controlling the dis-
tribution of his products. All this is to be done
whether the individual farmer likes it or not. It
is obvious that this totally disregards what be-
comes of the farmer's independence and person-
ality as a factor in the life of the country.
-MEANS CHECK ON PI1ODUCTION.
There is another point in this type of control
whiclf'should not be overlooked. If the .bureau-
cracy is to know -.what a farmer is doing with his
products, and is to make sure he places all his
production at the disposal of the Government
agencies, as indicated by "Democracy Needs
Socialism", it will be necessary to check every
farmer's production and prevent him circumvent-
.ing the Government's arrangements .for disposing
of it. The "Gestapo" methods which will neces-
sarily have to be irsed can be left to the imagina-
tion,
The Socialists, of course, would question this.
Mr. T. C. Douglas, Deputy Leader of the C.C.F.,
for' eXample, ,would put it differently. He would
say that the Socialist plan means giving workers,
farmers, trade unionists, consumers, a real voice
in managing their own affairs. The C.C.F., he
says, will establish a planned economy, but an
economy planned and controlled by the people
for the people. Commenting on this, Mr. Bruce
Hutchison, the well-known and widely travelled
student of "public affairs and a close observer of
politics, writing in the Vancouver Sun, says:
''Whether a C.C.F. bureaucracy would be efficient,
would represent only the people and remain
above reproach, or whether any bureaucracy will
soon become a force uncontrollable by the peo-
ple and determined to control the• people, is a
matter of opinion. But it is only childish to say
that Governments .can control an economy with-
out a bureaucracy or 'Operate without tools."
PLENTY OF EVIDENCE
Mr. Hutchison might have gone further and
said that in ,the last few years in Germany and
. elsewhere we have had convincing evidence of
what happens when Governments undertake- 'to
control economic life. ' No oke who understands
that Governments must govern can be deluded by
any vague suggestion that there can be direct
control from the bottom except on broad, long-
' range matters of principle and policy. The day-
to-day decisions must be arrived at by the few
and Carried out by them through the steadily) in-
creasing power of a 'huge andfgrowing bureaucracy.
We have already in wartime a foretaste of what
that will mean, and *e endure it as of necessity
in wartime, however much we dislike it. But we
should remember that what we have now is a
foretaste only of the regimentation and control
• which we shall have to endure in • peacetime if
the Socialists have their way.
'•
There should be no doubt in the mind, of any
trade unionist what will happen to trade unions
in the. fully planned economy contemplated by
the Socialists, in which, as pointed out in our
first talk, they propose to take over and oper-
ate practically -••,the 'whole means- of production
and 'distribution. What will happen is not a
matter of conjecture. We have clear and strik-
ing evidence from Germany, Italy, and labor else-
where. Wlhat happens is that under ...the .fully
planned economy the supreme authority, which
is also the supreme employer, •cannot tolerate
any opposition among its employees, and, there-
fore, it cannot , tolerate any independent em-
ployees' organizations.
That is why in Germany itwas inevitable that
the Nazis should stamp out trade unions, which
they did promptly, completely and ruthlessly—
within
uthlesslywithin six months of conning into power.
SOME IN ITALY
In Italy it took longer. The outlawing of the
trade unions was net complete until 1925, three
years after the Flscists came into power. There
are, indeed, still tame trade. unions in Italy—show
• tame .may. be indicated by the facet that under
the law no trade union official can,:be elected to
office in the union without the' consent of 'high;
Fascist officials. This makes it clear that the
trade union continues to exist in name only. • In-
deed under the Fascist state ,.the trade union be-
comes merelya propagandist and.' administrative
organization under the direction. and dictation of
the Government.
How could it be otherwise? Tra.de unions .ex-
ist
x-ist to assert and maintain the rights of employees
in any negotiation with employers. When. there'
arises an irreconcilable difference it becomes
necessary -to' have recourse to a higher author-
ity, namely, the will of all the people, as express~
ed through Government- This superior will can.
harmonize and adjust differences wbenk they arise
between employer' and employee. But' what hap-
pens when the higher power takes over the prop-
erty of the employers and itself becomes the
virtually universal employer? It is perfectly
evident to any one who will ponder the facts
that when this happens trade unionism 'is doom-
ed. Its final disappearance may perhaps be
somewhat delayed, but is nevertheless inevit-
able.
Let. us look at the plain facts. Under social-
ism the trade union no longer deals with the
individual employer who is subject to the higher
authority "of the State, but Tt deals with the
State itself, the supreme authority. In these
circumstandes any negotiation between the trade
union and the new employer -would be like the
negotiation between the fly and the spider.
BENEFIT BY EXPERIENCE
With the experience of Germany and Italy
before us, it ought not be necessary to labor this
point further. Surely it is clear that when-soe-
ialism steps in at the front door trade unionism
goes .put. by the back. The union may continue
to drag out a shadowy and useless existence as
a tool subservient to- the Government, like the
case of trade unionism in Italy already mention-
ed, but that is all.
It would be well for trade unionists to ponder
these things, and to stop, look and listen before
they court the fate of the trade unions in Ger-
many „and Italy. While no one suggests that In
this country they -would be put down in the ruth-
less and brutal fashion employed in Europe,
nevertheless under socialism the trade union as
understood in this or any other democracy could
not [continue to' exist. Its disappearance would
he the logical outcome of the fully planned
economy, and experience in other countries has
shown that it would be folly to expect anything
else.
