He makes no effort to gloss over the grief involved in the thing he is attempting. He believes it is unavoid- able as the grief Canada’s fighting men must bear in serv- ing their country on the sea, the land and in the air. But he is also convinced that it is a means of heading \off a worse grief and to this end he has turned the energies which have already made him an outstanding figure on Canada’s economic scene. He brings as a blessing to his new job the traditional solidness and sense of fair play of the Scot. He is a realâ€" ist in a job where wild theories and a tendency to dabble with haphazard experiments might be disastrous. Horatia Alger would have liked the story of Donald Gordon’s rise to his present position of vital importance; He arrived here, a penniless Scottish immigrant, at the age of 13. At 15 he started out in the field of finance as a clerk in the Bank of Nova Scotia. At 19 he was a bank inspector, the youngest in Canada. At 29 he was assistant manager of the Bank of Canada’s main office in Toronto 1nd at 34 was first secretary of the Bank of Canada. At 37 he was the Bank of Canada’s Deputy Gov- ernor. Now, at 40, he faces a job that will require every ounce of training and financial ability he has acquired in the steep climb from immigrant boy to bank governor. His name is Donald Gordon, and at the age of 40 he has been called from his job as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada to the chairmanship of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. It will be his task to put a ceil- ing over prices, to stop the spiral of disastrous inflation. A six foot Highlander with a powerful personality and a knack of getting things done in the bewildering world of finance has just been appointed to the heavy re- sponsibility of guiding his country through an economic sea completely unmarked on the charts of democracy. In the absence of some kind of effective price con- trol, this country would suffer an inflation of prices much worse than even‘the inflation which occurred in the late stages of the last war.' Everyone’s standard of living would be lowered in a most harsh and unfair manner, bearing most heavily on those with the lowest incomes. After the war there would be a general collapse of values, with widespread unemployment and destruction of savings. Even those individuals and those businesses which might temporarily profit out of inflation would find their pro- fits, exceptâ€" in the case of the most skilful speculators, swept away in the aftermath of war. In the past few months, however, it became apparent that this country has reached a new stage in the prosecu- ti0n of the war and required new measures. Our indus- trial programme to provide equipment and supplies for our own army, navy, and air force, for the United King- dom, for the United States and for other countries, had begun to roll in impressive fashion. The result has been growing scarcity of men, machines and materials. The demands of war are paramount, and only what is left over can be used for civilian goods. At the same time the people as a whole have more money to spend, even after paying taxes and buying Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates. With more money to spend and less goods available to buy. the price of everything except a few surplus commodities such as wheat would certainly rise; prices had in fact already risen 00nsiderâ€" ably by October of this year. _ Why, after two years of war, has it become necess- ary to adopt so sweeping a policy of price control? In those two years, prices have increased substantially. Not all the increases have been undesirable. Great readjustâ€" ments have taken place. Prices which were depressed at the beginning of the war have increased to the point where they are effective in drawing out increased production. There has been a great re-adjustment of wages. Unem- ployed labour has gone into employment. There has been a great movement of workers from less essential and less remunerative jobs to war industry. Farm prices, with the exception of wheat, have moved up to more remunerâ€" ative levels. These adjustments in prices, incomes and occupations have been in the main desirable. The price control regulations come into force Decem- ber 1st. Higher prices will not be permitted than those at which goods were actually sold during the four weeks September 15 to October 11. This far-reaching action will affect everyone. It is in the common interest of all. It has an essential part to play in the successful carrying on of the war. PRICE CONTROL IS NECESSARY AND DEMANDS COâ€"OPERATION OF ALL On December lst there will come into force in Canada a complete system of price control. Such a step was neâ€" cessary if the country is to be spared the curse of infla- tion and the success of the new policy will in great mea- sure depend on the loyal and intelligent coâ€"operation of producers, distributors and consumers. While there may seem more hardships, in the longer View everyone must realize that there is immense public and private advantage in carrying out a strict policy of price control. We all live and do business in a community, and whatever maintains and strengthens the stability of that community cannot in the long run be a private disadvantage to anyone whose existence is bound up in that community. In any incon- venience which may arise the thought to keep in mind is that “we are at war”. Established 1878 Advertising Ratesfioq Appfication.

Canada can sustain its agriculture as a warâ€"winning industry and as a postâ€"war sholck absofiber or it can cripple wartime food production and create a post-war (burden of farm bankruptcy. Which Canada will do depends upon the extent of under- standing co-operation- between food producers and food consumers in Canada. There cannot be under- standing without knowledge of each other’s problems. ICanada can grow and give and sell food in sufficient quantities to tip the scales of war and peace. What is essential to that achieve- ment is surely of first importance to every intelligent Canadian in country, town and city. Never 'before have the people of any country had such an opportun- ity to gain knowledge of a problem which vitally effects personal well- Fbeing, national security and the world‘ future. Every Canadian who can possibly do so should set aside 9.00 - 9.3'0 (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) to learn more about Canada’s food‘ sup- ply an-d‘ [how it can' be maintained.

These problems must be un- derstood by all classes of Canadians before they can be solved. Every reader of this newspaper can [help solve them. Every community [has its own food supply problems. Towns situated‘ in agricultural areas must supplement local products with the products. of other food-producing- areas, domestic and foreign, to a greater or lesser extent. Some Canadian towns and cities must bring all, or nearly all, of their food some distance. How- ever, it may be situated n-o Canadian town can find all of the foods: for the varied' Canadian diet in its own district. Every Canadian .town de- pends upon a wellâ€"balanced, proper- ly-sustained‘ Canadian agriculture for its Ibasic food‘ requirements. Every Canadian depends upon a maximum Canadian food production as‘ a means of national defense. In the rural communities farmers will gather in forum groups to dis- cuss the problems outlined in the radio presentations and] to check the ideas offered with their own needs and possilbilities. In town and city homes thousands of interested listen- ers will tune in as they did last winter. The problems presented‘ and the solutions proposed will be ampli- fied and interpreted in the editorial columns of the press which in its current news presents the facts upon which judgments are .based.
