I An; observer finds it difficult to be pessimistic I; Cas he listens to things like this: J' f. The steel industry is producing twice as much !! as before the war and still is faced with an almost ; insatiable demand. i Newsprint men, their all-time high production also unable to meet demand, plan to spend millions ;: of dollars in rehabilitation and expansion to make more complete use of forest wealth. '- Lumber production is at a record and this in- dustry, too, needs to spend large sums in rehabili- tation, though worried about its export market. Oil companies, unable to supply their would-be customers, are embarked on plant expansion cost-3h millions and are exploring for new fields. ?acisi Most industries tell a similar story. Develop-' tjnenti.';pi'Pgianis for mines are forecast and there '-a re long-term contracts for the yield of Canadian farms! : Population gain is at its greatest yearly rate Hjrfgince Confederation, and industry,' especially the forests,' is crying for more men. There are pre dictions that Canada may at length drive ahead through immigration for the 25,000,000 or 40,000,-000 population often forecast for her, and thus build uri a home market for her own goods. 5 Where then do the pessimists come in? Mainly they are afraid of collapse of the export trade, not Jj r. -because of lack of need but through inability of the world to buy; and also they fear an inflation spiral which must come to an end. 5 Canadians make more than a third of their in- ..dividual incomes from the export trade, and any S if slowiijg up of that would be felt quickly, though ... there may still be sufficient unsatisfied demand at .,...llome to take care of a temporary drop. Some already see signs of a drying up in de-, . mand from individual Canadians who were short i of nearly everything at the war's end. Others warn against panic - thinking which could turn a dip into a major recession or depression and caution that business must be ready to , ,t.vUake minor set-backs in stride. ' There are different views on the increased price ' and wage situation. Some see it as another "boom ; and bust" inflation spiral while others think that i ... t. kePt within bounds it is simply a new level of " 'prices and wages which is here to stay. Optimists and pessimists alike express the fol- lowing views: i , Wartime habits formed when production was ; the main essential regardless of cost, and whereby : goods were bought where they could be had with ; little consideration of price or quality, must be ; abandoned; efficient competitive business methods ; x , must be restored ; a man must earn a job to hofil it. ! ! J Hopeful thinking seems to take this line: All forecasts of recession since the end of the 'war have been wrong. Only a collapse of world ; trade will be able to slow down the expansion on i which Canadian economy is embarked; otherwise : demand ,will continue for a long time. Higher prices and wages are still in sight but ; careful management can keep the inflation spiral m control and slow it down to a state of equili-; brnim ;; the average wage or salary earner who with ; farmers comprise the bulk of the Canadian popu- Jation won't be satisfied unless he gets an increas-: V n? snare of what is produced ; this is possible and prictwcan still be kept within control if manage-- inent is efficient and if the individual worker gives ''-.liis.best production. r Others hold that this is wishful thinking, A recent monthly letter of the Royal Rank of Canada said: "This country of all in the world has its chance to make good in its constructive efforts, and in this country, if anywhere on the globe, is opportunity; ; not alone because of the natural resources of which j we are too prone to boast, but because here of all j places there is a sane balanced way of life in which I wo .W'jevelop nature's-and our own individual ?TS . Aml as Canada develops so will all her in-i idustries." v WHAT TILLY SAYS ' THERE ARE SOME PARTS of Europe, evi-I dently, where life does not consist of mournful faces and semiTstarvation. Tilly Jean Rols-ton, M.L.A., Canadian tourist and observer, has been travelling in Switzerland and Italy. Her recollections make cheerful reading. In Lucerne ;: for example, she revelled in good food, the best of service, sunshine and scenery. The Swiss, being able to eat their cake and also keep it,, were prosperous. She found corn and wine, peaches and to-, bacco in Italy along with people who frequently sang and often smiled. The ItaKans usually took itan hour's rest in the morning, never making the -error of confusing speed with progress. 'At. juiy rate, that's what Tilly says. She was there. Education Week By Mrs. E. V. Becker (Pres. Prince Rupert P.T.A. Council) This week as we affirm our freedom In this fortunate land of liberty, let us ask ourselves: "Is just savoring our freedom enough to save it? What can we do to help build a world where, freedom can grow and encompass the earth?' In many countries today the achievement we call civilization has been beaten into an unconscious state by the horrors and exigencies of modern, total warfare and little is being done to revive it. In other lands masses of people are taking literally the promise of the four freedoms and are revolting against the predatory powers who would keep them in jsubiection for centuries more. In a recent book enUtled "Revolt in Asia" by Robert Payne, the author states that by the year 2000 there will be more Asiatics than the present total population of the globe. It will be utterly impossible, he believes, to outbreed or eventually outproduce or outweigh politically Uie awakening hordes. And, in the face of all this, the voices of injustice, greed and lust for power grow louder and more quarrelsome. People who had hoped for, be- popular mood Is cynical and even stark truths are regarded as lies and propaganda. The solution to the world's problems probably lies with each and every one of us. The one way to a personal sense of freedom and decency Is to search Inward and cleanse our own hearts and minds of the faults which we dislike in others. Unwavering adherence to our aspirations, self-respect, faith in ideals and in on some calendar of events lies the time when our children will reap the fruit of the seeds we sow today.

It is disastrous to lose our faith in the goodness of mankind, to give up to despair and cynicism because in that way we rob our children, among whom are the future leaders, of inspiration, initiative, courage and a spiritual inheritance it has taken centuries to build. Just as education of past gen erations gave us our present leaders, so education today must prepare our future leaders. ;u m, iiiui . aiiu fctivu 11 wiry ku to nrayer While the teaching in home.j hool, church and community New Building Is are all responsible for our civilization it is the home which is the basic institution.

KMCiJ j "Here i$ another quote for you," said the Old Timer this morning. "It read this way: 'We have a fifth column in our midst more dangerous than Fascism ever was.' "Who said that? It was James McGuire, an official of ihe Canadun Brotherhood o Railway Employees, and he said it because he was convinced the Comintern had been ' revived throughout the world with definite instructions to Mbotage the trade union movement. "Speaking for myself, I would say there is plenty of evidence to I Is. support Mr. Mctuire. Why is it that the ordinary trade union, not under contnJ of Communists, cat tit down with management and usually not always, of course, but usually arrive at a settlement of wages and workinc conditions. whereas unions led by Communists stage strike after strike, as often as tle leaders tluiik they can bold the support of their memlwrs? . "Do Communists want union men to be reasonably prosperous, coiv tented, able to pay tlieir bills, keep their families, have a car and a garden? Not much. Communists- and you have only to read their propaganda to know it wapt people discontented, poverty stricken, hopeless. They want them to feel, as they used to say; that the workingman 'has nothing to lose but his chains. and tliev manipulate trades unions cunningly to try to put the workingmen and women in that frame of mind. If a union led by Communists ever goes more than two years without a strike it is a miracle." ffht iiewt of the OU Timer art iructfJ wtiy in (his Mmpaper uyAl the f4toi' ihif) of the ruh Culumdid fcin ijjj of tion.
