Bijpftour 'Conference ;,BIG FOUR 'foreign ministers' conference,, ripening today in London for the purpose off considering peace terms for Germany, the principal enemy of the recent war, as well as Austria could he productive, if a measure of agreement wore reached, of great progress on the way to world reconstruction, stability and peace 'but there is admittedly little hope of common ground being established or much being accomplished. The complete collapse of the deputy foreign ministers'sossions, which, were to have been a prelude' for the meetings of the foreign ministers, was indeed: a. bad omen. This may well be the last chance for a united settlement of. Europe's affairs and, unfortunately enough,, the prospects- are extremely dim. There appears- little chance at this late date of a. com- posure&ofi' the fundamental differences between. T" 'Jti- til i T i it SKuaim tne western powers, without discuss- in$& rjghts or wrongs, whys or wheretors,. that seenrntot be the realistic situation. "Sincje Jitlle is to be; expected of these meetings, which might well have been of momentous positive importance; there will be little disappointment if tHy-provo, as they give every indication of being, completely negative. 7" f T k. XT inn- - "n wf"i ifAiir W-H.EN FACTS- FAIL and logic deserts them, those who believe that governments can solve all economic problems fall back upon, "you. did it in war,, you; can. do. it in peace." They accuse democratic governments of serving the interests of "capitalists" at the expense of the "people." Wh o are the capitalists and who are the people is never clarified. In, democratic capitalism, where almost everyone is a' capitalist,. definitions spoil' the assertion. It is now clear that what "you" (governments) did in war, you. can't do in peace. "You" cannot compel people to work at assigned tasks, at fixed wages, in specified locations, for stated hours. "You" cannot force one million of Ganada?s fittest young people togiveup their freedom and to abandon every personal interest to serve anv national peacetime purpose. "You" cannot impose the sacrifices of energy, time and money which millions made gladly to save a. free Canada. "You" cannot control wages, prices, production and marketing in a democracy for an extended period; except for emergency purposes. "You" cannot do it -because the people will not tolerate it, "You?' cannot carry on a democratic government for any majority which does not preserve the rights of mirtoritje When majorities deny the rights of minorities democracy dies and totalitarianism supr plants, it. "You" did it in war but you. cannot do it in peace because Canadians won't stand, for it; andthe people who are demanding "it" would be tha-f irst io rebel if "it" included the nrice of thoiV services.
