Today the supply of food is inadequate for world needs. The demand is terrific. And yet the price goes down and export quotas are lowered. "Why is this? Simply because of inability to pay. If it was a war in- stead of a famine - if it were guns instead of food, a way to pay would be an after-consideration. I am sin- cere when I say that fighting starvaâ€" tion is more humane than fighting a Professor Tolton said that he was not ah expert in économics but added that “it strikes me as a layman that money should not be a stumbling block to prevent a free flow of food- stuffs to starving- people.” He urged Ontario farmers to “prac- tice maximum production at low cost. Bring their problems “before the people of Canada and the world through agricultural federations.” Twenty-seven per cent of Canada’s population is on the farm he pointed out. He also urged that surplus farm boys be recruited for training at Ontario Agricultural College. “Canada’s primary agricultural in- terest is exporting surplus food. Sur- plus food can be settled for by long- term credits financed by all Cana- dians from taxes through a world bank. “Isn’t it true that every pound of Canadian food may well be a living maintenance ration, or perhaps a chance for life, to thousands of peop- 1e in other parts of the world?” he asked. ‘ “As long as maximum production is sound practice, and prices are con- trolled by surplus for foreign marâ€" kets, we in. agriculture can not be the kind of neighbour we want to be to other countries," .he said. “Nor can We continue to be our brother’s keeper at home. We will be forced away from the principle of Chris-1 tianity and bow instead to waste and destruction if we attempt to control prices by controlling supply. war, yet far less dramatic and infin- itely harder to do. Making peace, (especially among hungry peoples is still more difficult.‘ “The receiving countries can do their part by exporting to Canada raw and finished materials other than food and balances paid for by taxa- tion in those countries through a world 'bank. In other words auster- ity programs will prevail. “Adequate floor prices will assure maximum production plans and greater yields will not mean more work for less money. Surplus food- stuffs will move out from home mar- kets and be settled for on a world basis to fight starvation. “The crux of‘ the matter ‘is to translate and absolutely unlimited need for food into an effective de- mand predicated on satisfactory set- tlement by purchasing countries.” “Let us lead Canada in the prac- tice of true democracy,” he urged. “Let us adopt principles of Christianâ€" ity in meeting problems. We can take the best of what through time has been good enough to survive and we will thus make a contribution to feeding a hungry world.” Complimenting the winners on al- most phenomenal yields in wheat and potatoes, Professor Tolton drew at- tention to the growth of world pop- ulation. He said that the policy for greater yields while scund in every respect, brought on the question: “*Can you get out what you put in, with prices at surplus-production levels ‘2" parable with the goods and services required to produce them” Professor W. D. Tolton of the Ontario Agricul- tural College Public Relations De- partment said the other night. He was speaking at Newmarket Presbil- terian Church on the occasion of aw- arding of prizes for winners in pota- to an‘d wheat club competitions. “Put and Take game in a starving world,” was his subject. The gather- ing was under auspices of the York county branch of the Ontario Crop Improvement Association. Prize- winners present had made outstand- ing records in production of wheat and potatoes during the past season. Farmers Must Maintain Prices Says Guelph Prof. If agriculture is to be “a business and not a philosophy,” then it is es- sential that “parity prices of food- stuffs be maintained at a level com- jl)El’ARTMEN’l‘ OF HEALTH TOWNSHIP OF NORTH YORK CARL HILL, M.D., M.U.H Happy New Year A Merry Xmas â€" and a â€" OH RISTMAS TREE ? What is Christmas without a tree? That’s what a lot of people say who live in the warmer climes of the Car- ibbean Islands and in Central Amer- ican countries. And they do some- thing about it, for inspectors of the Plant Protection Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture have re- cently inspected 30,662 Christmas trees shipped by a Maritime Com- pany to destinations in those areas. “Recently I saw on the front page of a prominent London paper, an ar- ticle by an American visiting London who was ‘relieved and delighted to learn that the reports (similar to the above) were unfounded and that there was an abundance of food and luxuries.’ No doubt you too :may have read similar articles. Let me tell you that all persons who speak like that American assuredly lived only in hotels. What I have quoted is true. I have recently lived for seven weeks in houses in Britain. The market in southern countries is limited to those which have a good sprinkling of former northerners re- siding there, reports A. E. McCollom, the Division’s Supervising Inspector. Such people like to celebrate Christ- mas with a tree as they did in their more northerly homes. Over the years, too, some of the natives workâ€" ing for these people have copied the habits of their employees, and they and their friends have trees in their homes at Christmas. The trees are trimmed by the natives in much the same way as is done by families in Canada. Aceording to the Bureau of Agri- cultural Economics, Washington, D, C., at September 1, 1948, the average work day of United States farm op- erators was 11.4 hours. The work‘ ing hours of hired help on US. farmt averaged 9.6 hours per work day. WHAT, N0 Unfortunately a great increase in the distribution of this symbol of Christmas in these southern areas may not be possible. Santa Claus, his sleigh and reindeers unfortunateâ€" ly are symbolic too, and cannot make delivery; high ocean freight rates and delivery charges are actual â€" they add greatly to the cost of the tree to the user. fl: “You live in Canada! Give thanks by giving," Miss Bovey concludes. â€" pity particularly the financially poor housekeeper. Fortunate indeed are the people of Canada, living in a land of abund- ance, when compared with the people of Great Britain. This is the opinion expressed in a letter received Saturâ€" day at the Toronto headquarters of the United Emergency Fund for Britain, from Miss Jean Bovey, of the Women’s Voluntary Services, Montreal,_ who just returned from abroad. ‘1How would you divide meat, the equiv’alent of one lamb chop to last seven dinners: one egg (if lucky) for all purposes, to last seven days; baâ€" con, one very small slice, to last sev- en days; cheese, one piece smaller than the portion you may take each day in a cafeteria, to last seven days, and milk, five glasses for baking, cooking, your cereal, dessert,s tea, coffee and drink, to last seven days. _ “If you are fortunate,” continues Miss Bovey, “once per week unration- ed meat may be procured, such as heart, kidney, tripe. Some less for- tunate people have that opportunity only once in months. I could go on with this endlessly. Diet in the Old Country is extremely monotonous. Pity the housekeeper Give Thanks You Live In Canada “If you are a woman,” writes Miss Bovey, “particularly one keeping house, give thanks that you live in Canada, truly a land of plenty. Do you realize that women in Britain, after ten years, still ‘line-up’ for at least one hour for meat? Did I say ‘meat?’ FARMERS‘ WORK HOURS HILLCREST MARKETERIA It is our sincere hope that the Christmas Spirit of Peace and Goodwill may dwell in your heart and that God’s blessing may abound for you.
