WORKING WITH CANADIANS IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE SINCE 1817

The Cracker Bute! Forum

By A. J. Drinkell

At a time when the Canadian dol-
lar is commanding the highest rate
in many years, Canadian secuitries
are being preferred to all others, ia
the world’s financial circles, Cabinet
Ministers stumping the country téll-
ing of the great upsurge in our de-
yeloment, boasting of the immense
volume of new wealth seeking to es-
lablish industries here, Butterfield
drawing cartoons for the Daily Proy-
mee showing comparisons between
corpulent Canadians and gaunt Brit-
ons, and the marine editor of The
Vancouver Sun enthusing over the

| number (of ships berthed there; it

seems almost like committing an act
of sacrilege to-call attenion to seri-
ous flaws in that wonderful vista.
According to the editor aforesaid
anyone so doing is a brown-Johnuy
— whatever that means — we war-
rant it is nothing complimentary. At
the risk of being so classified or
even something far worse, we feel
we must call these gentlemea’s at-
tention to the fact that in the midst
of this display uf affluence we are
able to discern a large percentage of
our fellow citizens who are finding
it increasingly difficult to cope with
the constantly rising cost of life’s
necessities.

To us, it seems incomprehensible
the sufferers of today are those
whose voices were once raised to in-
sist upon the cnactment of lexisla-
tion favourable to the labour umon
movement — protection against ex-
ploitation by the capitalists was te
theme at that time? Today they are
being victimized by those whom they
succoured. Fn the nonsensicai strug-
gle now being waged between organ-
ized labour and_our industrialists
the book of rules has been tossed
aside, everything goes. On to th
consmer goes the agony. Many of our
commodities are being priced off the
world’s markets. It is empelling us
toward a financial eruption the af-
termath of which is too dire to even
contemplate. Boom and Bust seems
to be the battle ery now. Just re-
cently our own minister of labour,
Mr. Cates, proudly announced to a
labour convention that 36% of
B.C.'s labour force is now organized.
The figures for the other provinecs,

were much lower. It would
therefore, despite the boast,
zed labour constitutes but a small
percentage of our total population,
yet, it has become so strong and ruth-
less as to be able to compel the de-
motion of faithful public servants,
dictate the poliey of governments
and impose its will upon a long-
suffering majority, We now lewn
hat one labour union intends de-
manding a 32 nour week
reduction in “take home pay.
how long it will require for them to
decree their members shall not work
at all but have the pay taken home
to them, is anyone's guess. In an era
of affluence such as the present there
seems to us to be no valid reason
why all manner an@ conditioas of
men should not be able to wend
their respective ways in a fair mea-
sure of comfort, some sense of se-
curity and the requisite degree of
national pride and personal dignity.
By joining our Hoards of Trade, Ja
perting our Boards of Trade, Jay-
Fraternal orders or ~similar
institutions having nationwide af-
filiations we rural dwellers will find |

round. Our combined voices, mingl-
ed with’ the urban effort, are still

seem
organ-

Repugnant as we know such a
course to be it is now time to insist
upon sterner legislative measures to
end the present struggle and expe-
dite an orderly return to commercial
stability, also the creation ot an
authorative body empowered to curb
all future gymnastics of both pro-
lagonists. Now, while we still retain
a form of government jwe in turn
can control by virtue of the vote,
freedom of expression and the con-
stant vigilance of a free and sym-
pathetic Press. It seems no other
course will prove effective in time
to avoid disaster. It is of paramount
importance we presetve a reason-
able amount of security for the in-

dividual and his investments al
in order to keep faith with this new
trust now being imposed in us.

The struggle will be Witter but it
should be kept clearly in mind the
most drastic measures we may find-

it necessary to Impose to accomplish
these purposes will prove infinitély
more palatable than the conditions
prevailing after the very mildest of
bloody revolutions; for then there
will be no take home pay, no divi-
ends to declare and none of the
freedoms.
about it, a further period of depres-
sion will not be accepted gracefully.
