We Have To Eat Too

Faced with the fact that Canadians are not hearty “beef
eaters,”’ cattlemen’s organizations last year decided that the
best way to convince John Canuck to eat’ more steaks was to
advertise the nutritional value of this product of the open
range.

But somewhere along the line those responsible for the
campaign became confused between advertising and “free
publicity.” For the past six months Grant MacEwan, manager
of the Council of Canadian Beef Producers, has been issuing
‘releases,’ presumably to every ‘Dear Mr. Editor’ in the country,
and we'll guarantee that most of the results of this zealous
effort are consigned straight to the editors’ waste paper baskets.

"Publishing a newspaper in a district-that lists ranching as
the backbone of its economy, we are naturally anxious to see
the cattlemen develop a larger market for beef. We would like
to see them develop a more positive program of marketing
though, with the emphasis on getting their message to the
consumer in the only reliable manner, by the use of paid
advertising. A newspaper cannot afford to devote free space
in its news columns to promoting any product indiscrimin-
ately. We have to eat too.

Taxes and Welfare

_ Defence Minister Claxton observed not long ago that “A
danger we have to face is growth of the feeling that anyone
is entitled to a free ride. In these times some people look to
government for social security and welfare payment from the
cradle to the grave, for relief and assistance if there is too
much or too little sunshine or rain, for higher handouts and
lower taxes -- all on a platter and all at once.”

The Senate Finance Committee not long after restated the
problem jin these terms: “The increasing tendency of people
to demand that the Government do something about all kinds
of problems which the community or the individual shoula
solve for itself or himself is, we believe, accountable for much
mounting publie expenditure and, if not checked, bids fair to

ndermine our present system of government.”

Now the Prime Minister himself echoes the words both of
Mr. Claxton and the Senate Finance Committee. Out of total
Federal expenditures of $4,500 million, Mr. St. Laurent points
out, more than $1,000 million goes for social security payments.
Yet, warns the Prime Minister, taxation cannot be increased
without grave danger to the national economy. “Exchange
