Prime Minister
(Covthtiird from vnQC nyip)
went into effect this week. T'nder it,
all merchandise must continue to be
sold at the same price as that which
now prevails. Since wages, wholesale
prices and prices of raw materials
are also regulated there will be no
excuse for thi' retailer increasing the
prici' which he hn.s been askinsr.
"'hot her, as scarecities in some lines
develop, thi' retailer will not try to
take advantage of the sitiiation, re-
'ii.nins to be soon.
Wages, tOd. ar^' .'itabilized on the
present basis b”t a control board lias
power to authorize a cost-of-living
bonus in rases where wages are not
meeting a particular situation.
The public has accepted these reg
ulations with great good will, and
since it is to the interest of consum
ers to report any violation of price
regulations tno government believes
enforcement will not be too difficult.
At all events, the Prime Minister feels
that Canada is more realistic about
the problem than we in the United
States have yet become, since they
recognize that prices cannot be con
trolled unless wages are controlled as
well.
The problem which is now’ agitat
ing Canada, Mr, MacKenzle King said,
is that of conscription. The Dominion
has compulsory training for Home De
fense, but requires seven thousand re
cruits a month to maintain its Navy
and overseas services. Enlistments
have now fallen to three thousand a
month and the Conservative opposi
tion is demanding a conscription law.
The Prime Minister said that in
the last war the Conservative Party
allowed only women whose nearest ol
kin were in the services to vote on the
conscription issue but no other women,
anti allotting the soldiers’ vote arbi
trarily to districts where the decision
was close. They thus secured conscrip
tion in a manner that caused great re
sentment among the French-Canadian
minority. This resentment was so deep,
he claims, that conscription could not
be enforced in French Canada in the
last war, and that, on balance, it did
more harm to the spirit of the coun
try than the results justified. His
theory is that regulation of prices
and wages can prevent the unfair
advance which labor enjoys over ser
vice in the army. He believes that if
men do not have to make a financial
?acrifice to enlist, they will volunteer
'n sufficient numbers. And he pre
fers to follow this policy rather than
risk an issue whcih will divide the
country.
He admits that the conservatives
are going to attack him on this issue
and will point to Great Britain and
I the TT, S. as evidence that con.scrip-
I tion is the proper solution. But he
I feels that fonditions in Canada are
'different and that having brought his
j people into this war. unitcil as they
; never were before, his policy is going
to bo endorsed.
"They’re a great p? >plc. tlv'
Kronch-f'anadi.ins" the Prime Minis-
'•'i- paid, "A people of great ability.
In I'arliament, for instance, the
French-Canadian monibcrs devote
themselves to their duties more
V holeli^ .-trtedly than any other ele
ment. We have not always shown con
sideration for them but now we have
their support and we must kepe it."
We walked out to the dor, "Good-
hy." he ,sai<l, “You have your prob
lems.' He tdtcd back his small round
head and looked up with ,i dry Scotcii
