°_ In a matter of days, many school children will be released from the confines of their studies to once again lead a carefree life for the summer months. __ _ Most of them are youngsters who have no more thought or fear of a motor car than did their parents of the horse and buggy.

Editorial Comment UPEN LETTER TO Dear Sir In connection with the resoluâ€" tions of the International Wage Policy Committee of the Steelâ€" workers Union, assembled recentâ€" ly in the U.S, to decide, among other things on wage demands for Canadian steelworkers, I ask you io recognize the moral right of Canadian union members to a wage policy based on the realiâ€" ties of Canada‘s economic situaâ€" tion, which is vastly different trom that of the United States. The present warâ€"inflated econoâ€" my and more favorable market situation in that country make it considerably less vulnerable than Canada to the effects of inflationâ€" ary wage policies. Every sane person must agree that there can be no wages withâ€" out markets, and that wage exâ€" pansion must necessarily be preâ€" cedéd by â€" market _ expansion. ‘nérefore, the objective of wnie parity with U.S. unions wou d require, as a first condition of c.onomic feasibility, market pariâ€" ty with U.S. companies. . National Director, Steelworkers Union All previous attempts to imâ€" pose on Canadian industries wage levels that take no account of market conditions have resulted in disaster for Canadian workers. For example, on the Great Lakes toreign vessels are carrying carâ€" goes, and foreign seamen doing work formerly done by Canadiâ€" ans whose unwise wage demands put them out of a job. Sixteen w.ousand â€" textile workers _!\a!e lost their jobs. They would be working today if their wage rates had been kept to levels that make ir possible to maintain or expand markets, instead of surrendering tiem to foreign competitors who were more realistic in their asâ€" sessment of priceâ€"wage relationâ€" snips. M . s en gen ces l aar m UDUECC ‘The spectre of foreign competiâ€" tion even now is creeping over tne â€" Canadian | steel industry. Large numbers of steel workers bave been laid off and no one lnows who will be next, or when. %et this is the atmosphere in which the Canadign Steelworkers Lnion proposes, substantially on tne advice of a group of Ameriâ€" cans, to make demands for still turther wage increases. _ Can you, as an individual, see eny practical advantage in negoâ€" mating a wage increase for steel workers who will not be around i0 collect it? Or any practical adâ€" iantage in forcing up production costs in Canadian industries to tne point where the only possible export markets would be counâ€" tries like the strongly protectionâ€" ist U.S.A.? Should Canada allow herself to be driven to a precariâ€" uus economic dependence on the U.S.A., when all the nations of tne free world are willing to buy cur products, asking only that prices be competitive with those tuoted by other exporting naâ€" tions? â€" Letters Llo The Editor I submit that there is already too great disparity between the wage standards of Canada and tnose of nations that have in the past been buyers of Canadian proâ€" ducts. Extension of this disparity ty further US.â€"prompted wage cemands amounts in effect to a «commensurate reduction in the Luying potential of the people of these countries. As a union memâ€" ber who prefers the prosaic seâ€" curity of a steady job to the dubiâ€" ous glamor of another Pyrrhic union victory, this is the strongâ€" est argument I can advance for a reversal of the trend, and adopâ€" tion of a deflationary, rather than inflationary wage policy.

If I had been given an opporâ€" tunity to choose my own seat I could not have had a better one. I saw the parade on the way from the Palace as it came to ’f'rahl- gar Square and swing right. With a pair of field glasses I had along I could look into the carriâ€" ages as they passed.

In less than an hour the parade started back past our stand again and turned at the monument toâ€" wards the Palace. This time the rain again soaked everyone. Canadian troops, including naâ€" vyy, army and air force, formed a guard of honor on both sides of the route where the parade passed Canada House. Those along the route were proâ€" vided with slickers but when the parade came near each time these were removed and like the police and spectators they stood in the rain. Of course thousands of military and naval personell did not have slickers at any time. motion pictures and the results are a lesson and a warning. _ _ ® It is unfortunate, claims the Drumheller, Alta., Mail, that ocâ€" casionally one of the hornâ€"tooting old shoeâ€"bedecked ‘just married convoys‘ travelling through the centre of the city show a total disregard for other traffic and many of the rules of safe, sane driving. _ s 2o *# The fundamental law of the free countries of the world is not found in statute books, claims the Verdun (Que.)
