By The Tribune Publishing Co. $2.50 $3.00 Subscription: per year Outside Canada Money For Education Although School Inspector Bill Mouat is an employee of the department of education and not an elected official, when he speaks of the possibility of increased taxes to pay for school accommodation, he does so with the same air of apology that trustees temper their arguments with when they eventually get the job of ‘selling’ another bylaw to the taxpayers. We sympathize with Mr, Mouat and the trustees. In the case of raising money for necessary accommodation, it must be personally distasteful to have to face the long wrangling fight that inevitably is the prelude toa building program. The actual project becomes a sideline, with the land tax principle occupying the forefront of the battle and a number of sk mishes being indulged in on that hard to define phrase ‘edu- cational frills.’ - Ours is an ever expanding district, and as long as this situation continues, we are going to need more classrooms.. That would appear logical. ‘We are year by year providing our children with the facilities to gain a broader and’ more worth- while secondary education. This would appear commendable. If a building program is found to be mecessary in any part of our district we, the taxpayers should carefully question its merits on the point of economy, but it is to be hoped that we never question the need to have our children comfortably cared for in school and adequately trained. it is money well spent. a : How's That Again? One of the top men in the labor movement in Canada is A. R. Mosher of Ottawa, leader of the Canadian Congress of Labor, able speaker and widely quoted writer. Mr. Mosher spoke to the IWA convention in Vancouver and appears to have given official recognition to the fact that some sections of the Canadian economy are not as thriving as they might be. He is quoted as having said that, though he didn’t want to be a pessimist, there were some definite signs that there might be a business recession coming in Canada. (As far as the lumber industry is concerned, things ‘‘recessed”’ a year ago and haven't stopped!) z Unions, Mr. Mosher said, were going to find it much harder to get wage increases. He thought the non-running trades of the railways might have the right idea when they said they wouldn’t ask for any’ wage increase at all but would concentrate on “‘fringe’”’ benefits. é Then Mr. Mosher said that in order to prevent a recession or a depression, unions should ask for higher wages in order to create greater purchasing power. = The simplicity of this solution is staggering. It never occurred to the Labor Government in Britain under Atlee to try to lift Britain out of the difficulties by that simple process. Instead, Mr. Atlee sold organized labor on the idea that wages had to stand still. .. that British work- men should not price themselves out of theif markets. ‘ : How Mr. Atlee overlooked Mr. MoshérS-remedy ig hard to understand. f We can’t sell our wheat to Britain. The British think we're asking too much for it. Mr. Mosher’s theory would be to raise the price still higher, pay the farmer more, increase his purchasing power .. . then enjoy the prosperity by storing the wheat or giving it away. We can’t sell our Douglas Fir lumber to Britain. The Baltic prices for pine have been below our cost of production of fir in B.C., about the same as our hemlock. So let’s cure our diffi- culty by raising still higher our cost of producing Douglas Fir and Hemlock. We're having a lot of trouble selling our salmon. The United Kingdom market stopped buying, complaining that British people didn’t have the dollars, and the price was too high anyway. So the remedy will be to put up the fishermen’s purchasing power by paying them more per pound for their salmon, then presumably storing it or giving it away. Mr. Mosher was quite positive that he had) the right answer to everything in higher wages as an offset to a shrinking volume of busines. Somehow, we aren’t so sure. We suspect Labor Leader Attlee, when he had a country to run, knew more about that sort of thing than does Mr. Mosher, who can say what he thinks his followers would like to hear. Attlee’s solution was to hold the wage line, step up production, and distribution. It’s interesting that, even now in opposition, Mr. Attlee is not telling British Industry that the way to make the country prosperous is to raise wages and reduce the hours of work. And Britain, by all accounts, is slowly but steadily coming back.---Forest and Mill. Diesel engines come to life in seconds when, Chevron Start- ing Fluid is on the job.
