A PARLIAMENTARY INVESTIGA-
TION .

‘There is a great ‘ado in Ottawa over
the proposed investigation into. the
DHSS buying of the department stores | 4
atid “chain stores ‘to’ the detriment to
the small retailers; and into ‘the spread
hetween the cost of production and the
cost to the consumer. The proposed
investigation: is. to be an open’ affair
und aims at clearing up a lot of. things
that are supposed tobe against the
hest interests of humanity and also a
little contrary to ‘the law of the land.
Ottnwa is being flooded with letters
asking for investigations into this that
aud the other thing. The greatest of

all the dangers before the committee

which will conduct the’ investigation,
is that they will be swiainped with de-
mands for. investigations. There is
hardiy.a business or an individual who
docs vot believe that the success of his
neighbor is due to that neighbors crook
ed work. and quite often he is right.
Greed and selfishness developed in‘ the
last twenty years to such an extent in
Canada that, as, the song says, “Hvery-
body is doing it.’ It is at ‘east to be
hoped that this investigation will not
he as nhortive as was the enquiry into
the high price of gasoline,

Those who are talking pence at all
times, ete., would. not recelye much en-

es the first of the week. ‘There was
fighting, bload shed and other things
in muny countries -of the world. The
human: element in the peoples of the
world is to fight as soon 98 they feel
rested and well fed.’ Fighting ‘and the
rumors of fighting are always signs ‘of
goud thnes, or’ the products of good
times. “The only way.to get peace in
this world is to continue the depression

Hon. Wells Grey, minister of Lands
in the Pattntlo government, stated ‘on

Monday that Northern British Colum- |

hia would pull the province put of the
hole if the north were developed, had
roads -and raibways. “That .-has, been
well snid by ministers of lands and by
other ministers numérous times; and
that ix where it ends. As soon as the
Vancouver members ‘learn “what the
mninister said they, syill soon ‘chiinge ‘his
ideas of where money should be spent.
Auyway, the north. “will settle down. in
its smugness and await the arrival of
the work gangs who are to develop the
roads and railronds,
