A HAW SSS SEN SSS Ry SOS We : SN Balance sheets reflect _ profiteering in food — Prices are still rising and the gap between living costs and wages is steadily widen- ‘Ng. That’s hardly news. The Wage earner knows it by the Sures on his cheque and those on the bills he has to Pay. The housewife reads it ®n the price tags in the groc- Sry. But what does news (although the aly papers don’t headline it) 'S the profits being made by 1€ country’s big food mono- sOhes, concerns like Canada ackers and Loblaw’s. For instance, virtual doubl- ng of the price of coffee this Year, has boosted the profits hae New Brunswick distri- Auting firm, T. T. Estabrook lowPany, from $89,845. in -9 to $262,979 in 1949-50.

The Warsaw World Peace Con- gress attended by 2,000 delegates and observers from 72 lands registers a remarkable new advance and an unprece- dented organized will for world peace by the majority of humanity. One has only to see the steady stream of public opinion flowing from all countries to realize that the vast uncon- querable peace movement here is being given a new clarity. If the United Nations were like this confraternity of the people’s will for peace, what changes would be wrought what guarantees fixed for lasting peace! “Here is the voice of humanity,” said the Metropolitan Nikolai of the Russian Orthodox Church. War-torn Warsaw is a daily reminder to the delegates of what their fate would be if war came again, but the new Warsaw, rising as the Phoenix from the ashes, gives the assurance of the people’s ‘unconquerable will.

The French delegates swear their people will never permit the rearmament of Germany and the German delegates vow that never again will German militarism be permitted to maraud, murder and pilage across Europe. A Korean women delegate brought the Congress to its feet with her simple words of peace and justice and was carried shoulder high around the massive Congress hall by the 65 American delegates and guests. Z An attempt by Tito’s lawyer, O. John Rogge, to echo the U.S. press line was rejected by the American delegates. The Chinese delegation, led by the renowned dramatist, now minister of education, Ko Muo-Jo, was the center of at- tention at the Congress which was deeply. impressed. by the dignity, youth and pride of that great republic.
