Canadians have the rationing of both sugar and meat so that other nations i need can be properly fed. Similarly, we should not be con: anything less than the greatest "possible production of any â€" Europe requires in the present emergency. Ottawa should fi lead of Great Britain and the United States to assure the r domestic production of sugar in 1946. in n dn instms 0 2 01 Al sumer. Therefore Ottawa has refused or delayed action that would assist the Canadian sugar beet growers of Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario to increase their acreage. The fact that an additional 40,000,000 pounds of sugar could be provided to meet world and domestic needs appears to have been ignored. ° s . io Tooe o o en o n e neiee ue Oitawa‘s attitude is that since world sugar production is pooled and Canada‘s share in the pool is fixed at 4.2 per cent. any increase in Canadian sugar production would not benefit the Canadian sugar conâ€" L0 Ceil 2 Ca ce e 2 . IF C N With meatâ€"rationing a matter of public concern, Ottawa has sought to justify the necessity of rationing by referring to its purely humaniâ€" tarian objectives. As the Hon.J. L. Iisley recently said in the House of Commons: "There appears to be no difference of opinion that Canada should make every effort to make the maximum amount of meat availâ€" able to the United Kingdom and liberated countries in Europe . . . ."; The attitude of the government towards another essential food also in short supply is, however, quite different. Canada is dependent upon other countries for the greater part of its sugar supply but in the first three years of the war domestic production averaged over 200,â€" 000,000 pounds a year. Then, because of labour shortages, higher costs and lack of government interest, production dropped to a mere 129,268,000 pounds in 1943. While some improvement was shown in 1944 and the present year‘s output is expected to maintain the 1944 level Canada is producing far less sugar than it can and should produce. We get some tall stories about May we inject at this point a cautious note, and hang up the "GO SLOW" sign? There is a scarcity of materials. There is a definite danger of inflation from which none would benefit. And most important of all, the farmer is in the same position as the business man, he needs working capital. In a few years the reserve accumulated now may do a lot more, with greater benefit, than the same amount expended now. Alert to possibilities, the farmer may be tempted now, to go all out and perhaps spread himself, erecting new buildings, adding new equipâ€" ment, making major improvements, etc. _ Without effort the two cannot be attained. Care and attention all along the line means efficiency of production, and includes good buildâ€" ings properly repaired, and equipment in good order. Also, intelligent farming practices must be employed so that profit will be the result. The two factors that will give the farmer a decided advantage will be efficiency and quality, when the devastated countries get back on their feet. The two combined will give him a decided advantage over those who go along in a haphazard way. Everything is being unionized these days. Unions are springing up all over the place, almost as thick as onions on Mitch Hepburn‘s farm, and very soon everybodywfrom cabinet ministers down to newsâ€" boys, will have to belong to a union before they can get a job at their chosen avocation Of course, "it‘s a free country," and anyone is at liberty to start a union who feels like it Those who believe in free enterprise cannot logically zomplain, much less oppose such display of private initiative. To repeat, "It‘s a free country" â€" but is it? or will it be a free country if every occupation is unionized and nobody will be allowed to apply for a job if he doesn‘t belong to a union? We should have said THE union, because with the universality of the "closed shop" there will be only one union for each occupation. | We said that anyone is at liberty to start a union, but is he, if that liberty or occupation must eventually be unionized? Already this field of private enterprise is restricted by former union starters, and very soon no one will be permitted to start a union who does not belong to the Union Starters‘ Union. Like all other businesses and professions, that of starting unions will have become a closed shop. And as the starter of a union usually becomes president of his organization, the immortal lines of Tennyson will have to be revised to read: Where Freedom narrows slowly down, From President to President. » Efficiency and Quality Will Count THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE The World Needs Sugar THE BEAN PRINTING & PUBLISHING CO.
