Waiting Room Prince Rupert Daily News As I See It from.."1 Tuesday, November 6, 1951 Improvements really are wanted in Canada, not just tolerated. AT MY speeches for the Canadian Clubs I am telling them why I do not think, the Labor opposition will try to make jt too tough for the new Church-Ill government: ! Main reaon because if they did snarl things up, as they eus-! lly could, a new election might ! be called and Labor be put back In with an even weaker working maiority than Mr. Churchill's.

There were military experts who were willing to bet that the Soviet satellites would attack Yugoslavia as soon as the hardest of 1951 was in. Well, we all know now It did not happen. i WAGES here in Sudbury are i among the best in Canada. At the nickle company mine tha minimum is over $1.40 per hour and the average around $184. Many fine new homes ars going up. One fine ieai.u.e here is that a systematic attempt is now being made to welcome new-turners to this part of the country and to make them feel, from tiie very beginning, that tlvy ' "Witural enough," I hear some readers say, "with all these wars and rumors of wars and nit-kle still the kingpin of war metals. The paper here today points out that Sudbury would be a prime target in the event of a third world war because of the fact that It Is the world's greatest nickle producer. But, If so, any would-be attackers would have no walkover to get there. Canada is not asleep in this Jet flying age. " i PEOPLE hero have asked me i what people in Britain thfinc of the chances of another war You i.evtr hear f.iem ta!k about It, I replied. But I added that might be because it was too serious to talk about lightly.

I 'We have to submit to them whether we enjoy them or not. or whether they determine that we shall enjoy a lot less of other things. But there is a point where placid acceptance of taxation ceases to be a civil virtue and becomes an outright evil. Of course governments must have money, just as we citizens must have money. But when we citizens are faced with unexpected demands such as suddenly increased prices or taxation most of us cannot hope for some source from which we may recoup. We can't look for support from anyone but ourselves and the only recourse td most of us is the simple and effective one of tightening the belt. Our government is faced with such an emergency the need for a sudden and vast defence expenditure. It is inevitable that some of that added need should be passed on to the public. We are able to meet these new demands because, in process of tightening our belts, we come to learn that there are ways of doing without as well as doing with. That is a lesson that develops character in governments as well as individuals. The government that has to sharpen its wits to make ends meet? to make a dollar do the work of two, to find alternatives and to give a second thought on if and how to spend, is a better government than the one that spends as it goes, secure in the belief that there is plenty more where that came from. But the belief in an inexhaustible reservoir of supply has other sobering repercussions. Inflation is not a matter of price increases, as we are so ready to suppose, but of dollars that have increased out of relation to the supply of goods on which they may be spent. So, when you feel like taking credit for accepting taxation with resignation, remember what it is doing to you. The criticism of taxation is a basic safeguard of our democracy. It cannot be forgone without danger resulting. p'H ill 0 BECAUSE IT CAN ALWAYS BE CASHED AT FULL FACE VALUE PLUS INTEREST. Inconsistent TWO MEN have been earning their living at the .

The older man has been more fortunate. He is still in good health, and able to work at his trade, and his savings are considerably larger than those of his friend.
