Must Take In The Refugees
Sir Norman Angel, writing in Sun-
day Times, of London, England, on
the question • of immigration, had
some pithy things to say. His first
question was: "Why is the United
States the richest and most powerful
nation on earth?"
And he suggests in the answer to
this question that the leading factor
in the development of the United
States to its present position, -was an
immigration policy (not abandoned
until the first world war) which
brought into the New World bet-
tween fifty and sixty million refugees
.from the Old.
"This nation which today can suc-
cour the world," he said, "is a nation
of refugees." And he said further
that there were times when the Unit-
ed States nearly rejected the policy
which had made it so rich and pow-
erful.
"Early in the nineteenth century,
when its population equalled only
that of Australia today, there arose
a great clamor for closing the doors
against more immigrants; the coun-
try having a population of seven mil-
lions, had too many people. If that
agitation had succeeded, there would
be no Marshall Plan today, because
the country which fathers it would
not exist. And there would have
been no victory over Hitler.
"Today's displaced persons num-
ber a million. As late as the begin-
ning of this twentieth century the
United States took a million and a
quarter immigrants in one- year—
and never knew she had done it.
There was no disturbance of the
American economy': no rise of un-
employment. That unplanned world
of the early nineteen -hundreds solv-
ed, without effort and without con-
sciousncs.; of doing it, a problem
which our planned world finds utter -
.1y:. insoluble."
Sir Norman concludes his letter
with a warning, very applicable to
Canada, that, if we value the sur-
vival of our way of life, we must put
down the barriers and let the re-
fugees in.

We Are Beginning To Learn
During. some of the war years, and
for some years succeeding the peace,
Russia had a god~l many solid admir-
ers in En'land and the Western
world. As a matter of fact, there
was a very serious danger for a
while. that we might lose our heads
over Russia and Russia's successful
accomplishments.
Fortunately for us, the Russians
seemed to lose their heads to some
. extent too. It was their boorish
ways and utter refusal to co-operate
with the western world over the
peace terms, that finally called a halt
to the Russian admiration move-
ment.
Now the Left Wing, as Russian
sympathizers and admirers in every
society are known, seems to have ef-
fected an abrupt about-face across
the world, and are beginning a high
speed movement in the opposite di-
rection to their former plans. The
latest convert on record is Sir Hart-
ley Shawcross, Britain's Attorney -
General and British prosecutor at
the Nuremberg trials. Here is his
statement :
"Three years ago, two years ago,
I was violently pro-Russiai—on the
extreme Left • of. my party," he said.
"I still feel that it is of the utmost
importance to secure co-operation
'with Russia involving a mutual re -
...sped for each other's rights, but in
these last years 1 have seen what has
ben going on, Step by step 1 have
been,. forced ...more and more to the
: ,nciusiof that the aims of Commun- '
ism in Europe are S'inster and deadly
aims.
"I prosecuted the Nazis at Nur-
emburg, with my Russian colleagues
I condemned Nazi' aggression and
Nazi terror.. I feel shame and humil-
iation now to see under a different
name the same aims pursued, the
same technique followed without
check.
"My belief is that two things only
can 'secure peace in the world and
economic and political stability in
Europe. One is the close co-opera-
tion and powerful influence of the
British Commonwealth of Nations,
that great free association of free
peoples. The other the organization
of Western Union, that grand con-
ception of close economic and politi-
cal collaboration which Mr. Bevin
sponsored in his remarkable speech
in January.
"I like to think that some day we
shall achieve something like a United
States of Europe. At least, of West-
ern Europe. But we must be sure
that what we do achieve now is not
too little nor too late."
Tractors On The highway
Few farmers give much thought to
the position in which they may find
themselves if, as a result of driving
a , tractor or other farm machinery
on a public highway, they were to be
involved in an accident. Since the
Highway Traffic Act makes no pro-
vision for the licensing of the driver
of a tractor,' or for that matter, the
tractor itself, it is often the easy way
out to send Junior with the machine
to the neighboring farm. While it
may be true Junior may be a better
tractor operator than his father, his
age, his judgment and his size may
all be factors which would put hilt
at a serious disadvantage were he
and his machine to be placed in a posi-
tion where the avoiding of an acci-
dent became a necessity.
The Farmers' Advocate recogniz-
es the seriousness of the situation
when it says:
"Modern inventions and ,farm
mechanization are progressing at a
much faster rate than is l:2gislation
governing human behaviour and the
use we make of I..re ,:,t -day machin-
ery. Farm operations often require
the movement of big machinery from
one farm to another .'_'`_' from one part
of a property to al).otllel' part of the
same farm, along the hig'hway. Trac-
tors, combines, threshing machines,
wagons and all kind ct arm equip-
ment ai'e moving 'rorr. ce t^, place
and in most cases w'.bout 1.mb]ic lia-
bility or property damage in,urance.
"Tractors are clri.-r tit; l:i?'l:ways
usually without permit or license and
often are operated! by ',what highway
patrolmen term a minors. In case of
accident the owner of uch equipment
may find himself in a very embar-
rassing position and the re are in-
stances where nnforhnate persons
have lost everything' d cause of traf-
fic accidents.
Under existing legislation a trac-
tor is a vehicle just as i a wagon, a
buggy or an automobile. If it be-
comes involved in an accident the
consequences will certainly prove un-
pleasant and perhaps financially dis-
astrous.
"The problems incident to the
movement of machinery along roads
and highways were discussed at the
annual meeting of the Western On-
tario Brotherhood of Threshermen
and the hazards mentioned were Suf-
ficient to accentuate the anxiety al-
ready surrounding the increasing
use of machinery and its movement
from place to place.
"The conclusion reached was that
tractors should be covered with pub-
lic liability and property damage in-
surance; and when moving equip-
ment the operator should exercise
the utmost care and when danger
looms, take to the ditch."
Piles Of German Scrap Metal
(W. L. Clark, in the Windsor Star)
There are millions of tons of high quality scrap
metal in Germany. And, the Germans will not
allow this badly needed scrap to be exported from
the Reich to the United States or Canada. Ger-
many wants to keep tight hold on that scrap
metal.
That is not such an encouraging sign. The
Germans are not in good shape right now, but the
Germans think a.R ays in terms of war, and scrap
metal is a necessity in time of war.
Ef 'Stalin and Germany worked out a scheme by
which that scrap metal in Germany were used by
the Ruesia.n:s to make armaments to use. against
the British, .Canadians and Americans, it would
be following the general pattern. of •aggression,
The United States needs millions Of tons of
scrap metal. There 5s a huge s'upp'ly in; Germany
but the American's cannot get it, Thatle disturbing.

LAZY MEADOWS
By Hurry J. Boyle
Well, the old cycle is repeating, dt- grain to buy, or a bill rte forgot about
self. E7v,ery New Year's Day as I tear
off the calendar pad for a new one
and examine the art we will be raced
with during the New Year, I say to
myself, "I'll have to get those Income
tax forms filled out in time. The 'text
time I'm in: town I'll ge end get a
set of thern. It certainly would be
swell to have tbem all made up and
away by the end or January ... well,
by the middle of February at least."
This solemn vow is repented on
the first of February- when I go in
to stake an interest payment on bhe
mortgage. Joe Collins, who handles
tho estate that I'm paying my inter-
est to, always says, "I hope you gut
your income tax forams all made up
and away, Phil. The department is
getting pretty tough with farmers who
don't send along a form, even it they
don't have to pay any taxes." On the
way to the post office I remember
that I have to go ana get something
for •the wife at the store, or else
somebody conies along and in the pro-
cess of talking I forget all about the
forms.
There are several other times when
I make up my mind to pay for the
taxes, or at least to make up the
forms. There'll be something to pay,
and there's dust enough money in the
bank to let us get by. At the end of
April something always happens. The
pump breaks or the seed drill is al:
out of order, or else there was seed
pope up. It gouges into the bauk ac-
count.
By .the middle or April I get the
forms. The only reason I do is that
say wife goes into •the village with
me and says, "Now stop right here In
remit of the post office aild go in there
and get those forms. The first thing
you know. you'll have forgotten them
and the Government will be after usi"
1 -get the forms.
The first night I look at them I
develop a severe headache. The next
night I get them spread out on the
kitoheii table, somebody comes along
to buy a cow or a litter of pigs. 'rhe
a #xt time, one of the neighbors dr.,ps
in ter a chat, or else he brings his
wife along and we play euchre.
On the night before the deadline I
get the papers aid spread out on the
table and, there are the sounds of a
mighty eontlict. I scratch my head
and figure and look receipts aid bills
sed finally get the whole thing figur-
ed. Mrs. Phil takes a look at it rind
says, "So we don't owe anyteingi
You've made a mistake . . . here. let
me add that up."
Sure enough we end up owing the
Government money. This year, you
can bet your bottom dollar, I'm not
going to get caught do that same rix
of doing it at the last Minute. Now,
the next time I'm in the viiiztes 1'tn
going to get those forms and I'll got
right after it as soon as I get home.

Saves you hours of time from book keeping. First ten pages are for your
receipts—from sales of crops, seeds, livestock, poultry, dairy products
and all other produce. Then come twelve pages of all farm expenses—
you 'are reminded of items you might otherwise forget. Establish a
basic herd, apply for the three -year -average plan, calculate your deprecia-
' tion item by item. These are money -savers for every farmer. They're all
in the new Farm Account Book. •
DEDUCTIONS—Every farmer is entitled
to deductions and he is expected by the
department to take full advantage of
his rights. The Farm Account Book
tells you about many items in easy ques-

"What can I claim as expenses for
repairs?" The answer is "any expense
to keep a inachine or a building
in working order can be claimed."
Altogether there are answers to over
60 questions. No one is required to
pay more than his fair share of tax.
