.A.
J.
Wirick
of
the
Extension
Department
explained
very
briefly
the
purpose
of
this
Institute.
For
several
years
the
Dominion
Department
of
Fisheries
has
made
a
grant
to
the
Extenrfon
Departmsrtt
to
carry
on
co-operative
educational
work
amongst
the
fishermen
of
Canada.
In
this
-work,
'the
university
at
all
times
attempted
to
bring
to
the
people
what
they
themselves
ask
for.
The
principal
speaker
for
the'
evening
was
Mr.
L.
II.
C.
Phillips
who
dealt
In
some
detail
with
the
general
philosophy
behind
the
cooperative
movement
and
followed
this
by
a
sketch
of
the
co-operative
movement
In
British
Columbia
past,
present
and
future.
People
everywhere
these
days
fteely
ad
mitted
that
something
was
wrong
with
the
world
and
thai
a
change
would
have
to
come.
Few
however,
w.ere
prepared
to
do
anything
concrete
about
It.
To
Mr.
Phillips
there
seemed
In
this
attitude
a
very
grave
danger
that,
if
peopls
did
not
consciously
plan
for
the
future
they
might
fall
prey
to
some
form
of
fascism
after
the
war
was
over.
Offering
the
co-operative
movement
as
a
planned
economy
for
a
future
society,
he
first
elab
orated
on
how
the
system
of
capit-
connection
he
gave
an
interesting
analogy
on
the
development
of
foreign
t.ade
and
of
joint
stock
com
panies
in
response
to
the
need
for
capital
to
finance
foreign
trade.

Other
Movements
In
conclusion,
Mr.
Phillips
pointed
out
that
the
co-operative
movement
freely
admitted
that
there
were
other
democratic
movements
equally
qualified
to
bring
about
change
in
society
and
urged
all
co-operatcrs
to
work
with
these
to
the
fullest
extent'
possible.'
He
particularly
mentioned
trade
unions,
as
a
people's
movement,
and
urged
that

The
accomplishments
of
capitalism
were
admitted
but
the
fast
that
as
a
system
it
was
based
on
profits
rather
than
on
service
remained
inescapable.
Opposed
to
this,
the
co-operative
movement
offered
a
system
that
was
based
on
production
for
service
or
use,
rather
than
for
profit.
In
a
co-operative,
all
profits
are
distributed
equitably,

ensure
this.

The
speaker
further
went
on
to
show
that
the'
co-opera

movement
was
no
small
or
young
movement.
It
was
almost
a
century
since
the
first
co-operative
was
organized
In
England.
Today
there
were
co-operatives
'from
twenty-seven

there

The

was
reinforcements.
Discussion
followed,
as
well
as
two
motion
pictures.
One
of
these,
entitled
"Here

depicted
the

The
