and pile up bank deposits Overseas there are thousands upon thousands men women and children who have very little if anything to eat while our foodstuffs are pil ing up here as surpluses Our socalled Christianity is riot helping them very much To my mind our difficulty primarily lies at Ottawa and Washington One unit of effort or labor be it of brain or muscle is actu ally worth no more in one coun try than another but the manipu lation of stock exchanges money markets and tariffs have so balled things up that the count ries of our world can no longer do business together A car tractor

has been at Sick Childrens hospital Toronto scveral weeks The farmers effort is worth as much as that of the laborer or the manufacturer and he has the same right to protection as they have The answer to these troubles is simple enough if the matter is faced honestly I suggest that our government should redeem its wartime pro mise of parity prices Let them turn the proper proportion of those dollars already collected from the fanner via the protec tive tariff route to the farmer by way of subsidy so we can con- j to produce arid let them ship the s overseas to where it is so badly heeded at a price can pay Such a pol icy if carried far enough will go far toward defeating communism Why should riot the farmer re ceive the same for his effort as the city dweller If he does not there will be fewer arid fewer farmers as time goes on and production will de crease Your suggestion re more effi cient production is hardly pos sible under jpreseht circumstances and even if it were we should only progress in keeping with other lines Of prbduction arid the balance of living standards would remain the same Then dear sir you advise us to open up new markets and improve methods of selling Better methods can often be found of doing most things but new markets are out of reach as long as the dollar- pound re mains what it is No labor has set the pace and if our government policy remains as is we have no alternative but to follow the advise of Mr Den nis and cut down production Yours truly Knights USE AND EXPRESS CLASSIFIEDS IN TURNING ARTICLES YOU MO LONGER NEED INTO CASH V Watch For
