Post Office Real World Trade . . . Britain's hope for permanent economic salvation depends upon the regaining of the world markets foi- her products, Rt. Hon. Herbert Morrison, who is visiting Canada, told the Canadian Club at Ottawa on Saturday. So the British Labor government adopts the same economic theory that has been practised in Britain since the industrial revolution and which led to her unprecedented era of progress and prosperity in the last of the Nineteenth arid the first of the Twentieth Century. Now it is admitted that Britain must regain the trade outlets wjjich she lost during the war if' she ifgto return to an even economic fvThe same orthodox prescription Will, of course, be made for the permanent ' ecpnomic restoration of other countries once their wheels of Production can be put in motion ipfain. Then there may again be the Old competition for the world markets which invariably leads to war to maintain national preservation.' So in this world it becomes more and more apparent that the selfish Imperialistic and nationalist ideas will have to be relinquished if peace is to be maintained. We will, instead, .have to learn to live internationally and develop a system of giving and preceiving nation between nation that .will ensure to each citizen of each nation in comfortable measure the goods he needs for the full enjoy ment 01 me. - There is abundance in the world. If? the machinery can be devised and the will applied to make it function .equitably through the application of jirjnciples of good neighborliness 'and mutual consideration without : greed for things that are after all ; unessential to good living the world ; could be a peaceful and happy place. ; In other words, we must learn to ; think of our neighbor and do to him ;as we would be done by on a broader scale than ever before" Real Losers at Windsor . . . - One of the most costlv and use- fless strikes in Canadian history end- led last week when Ford strikers by a 1 '1 ... . 1 . 1 . . jarge majority voieu to go nacK to work, says Financial Post. By this vote the men are accepting exactly ; what was offered by the company be- fore they walked out. In other words, rthe strike was absolutely unnecessary, exactly on a par with an exceedingly bloody battle fought after the ! armistice terms had be?n arranged. I In briefest form here is the cost jof the Ford strike at Windsor: ; 99 days lost by 10,000 workers; i .:. Well over $5 milions lost in "wages; 5,000 urgently needed cars not ;,made; To these direct losses must be added the hardship to workers' families with pay cheques cut off for jjnonths before Christmas, the col-'lapse of business for local merchants, export opportunities thrown away; land more idle days for thousands of "workers waiting for plant to be put in shape to operate again. . For all this needless waste those Uabor union leaders who called the -strike, and those communist aviators who fanned it, must accept the major responsibility. The worker, who foots the bills, must now won-.der at the leadership he has chosen 'or permitted to represent his in-iterests. In this case it should be ab-jundantly clear that he has been the jvictim of an unnecessary squabble land of political agitators whose only iinterest was stirring up class strife. Unholy Railway Plot . . . Decision of the two Canadian railways against re-oneniner the old Hotel Vancouver is far more sinster than appears on the surface, says a Vancouver Sun editorial. It is the heaviest blow the tourist business of British Columbia has ever received but there is far worse to come. The plain fact is that the railroads have made an unholy alliance which will stifle the tourist traffic for the next five years. Refusal to restore the hotel is only part of the deal. Before the war the railways competed for coastal passenger trade, each with a fleet of luxury liners. That's alii over now. They haven't got the ships and they aren't going to- build any replacements. Talk about cartel! For sheer callous indifference to the public in- terest, the railroads surpass anything uncovered by the trust-busters or the combines investigators. When the C.N.R. got into bed with the C.P.R. to share the new ' Hotel Vancouver the public should have been warned that no good could come from such a union. The railroads should not have been al lowed to. mate. It was atjainst na lure. Fruits of their financial mis cegenation are now to be seen in the ship compact. D. C. Doleman, president of the UP.K., recently went to Great Brit ain to order fleet replacements. He came back without awarding a single contract. British shipyards were choked with orders. The alternative is to build the ships in Vancouver, even at a slightly higher cost. The C.P.R. won't do that, however, because its construction funds are anchored in England in blocked sterling. The sum, realized from war earnings and insurance, is close to $50 millions bul'it 'has to be spent in Britain. So the C.P.R. discarded the idea of using Pacific Coast yards; it will wait for a few years in hopes of getting better terms in Britain. The hotel agreement rrieansrthat the C.N.R. will also wait. It won't try to replace the Prince Robert and the Prince David, converted to naval use, or the Prince George, burned and wrecked up the coast. It will get along iwith; the venerable Prince Rupert, with 'the possible addition of a remodelled corvette of the "Castle" class for the Queen Charlotte logging camp runs. Picture what is going to happen next summer, and the next and the ones after that. Even before the war the passenger crush was terrific. What will it be like when the rail ways try to cone with it on a make shift basis, with vessels which were headed years ago for the marine bone-yard? The companies don't care. Thev are perfectly willing tp betray their trust, it doesn t matter to them that thousands of shipyard workers must walk the streets. Why should they worry about the loss of British Columbia's once-thriving tourist traffic? The companies have made a deal .between themselves. Neither will try to get ahead of the other. When they're good and ready they will get their ships and not before. But it will haye to be done together.. It will be a crime against this province if they are allowed to get away with it. Public opinion should force them to build two or three ships each, in Vancouver or Victoria, or Prince Rupert, and to open their vacant hotel. In fact, their hotel merger ought to be dissolved entirely, by government action if necessary, as contrary to public policy. Let them get out and hustle. There's plenty of business for both and lots more to come if they will only compete for it. But there won't be any tourist business for British Columbia none to speak of if the railroads are allowed to strangle it by under-cover agreements.
