Holding the price ceiling imposed in Canada has been a hard struggle, lor there Has been steady pressure brought to bear tending lo force up the cost of livMng, threatening the soundness of Canada's wartime economy. This problem has provided worry for government authorities, and it should worry the ordinary individual, for the alternative to a fixed ceiling on prices is inflation witli all its attendant dangers, Canadians have recognized the need for keeping the economy on an even keel in order to maintain j our war effort and to prepare lor the postwar period. However, in this, the fifth year of war, it may be iiot unnatural that a sense of the individual respon-tsibility for maintaining a- stable economy should need restressing. In the past, wars have brought with them a high cost of living, ending in inflation, which sapped the strength of nations and added poverty and injustice to the other tragedies of war. It is within the memory of many that inflation which followed the cessation of hostilities in the First Great War brought in its wake terrible suffering and hardship to some countries in Europe, and that many who, prior to jthe inflation period, were reasonably prosperous (citizens and businessmen, went down to ruin under Ithe situation that existed.. In Canada, during the First World War, prices rose GO percent between 1914 and 1019, while under the present" ceiling price the rise in this Dominion, from 1939 to 1944, has only ben 18 per cent. This successful effort on the part of Canada has been noted in other countries VJi have not waged such a successful fight ay higher cost of living.

These include price and wage control, profit limi- luuuiis, utAiujuii, rmiunmg ana saving. In this war Canadians must head off the dancer oi- muaiion. Allien nas been done to avoid a repetition of the disastrous price rises of former wars: But we must continue to hold the line and not let history repeat itself. Our young men are fighting for a Canada and a world in which all men can have faith, hone and security. Each of them wants to come back to a job or a farm with a future. We at home must keep secure for them a strong and stable foundation on which alone a postwar period of promise and achievement can be built. Ford Troubles . . . Few were surprised when the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, shut down after the men walked off the job says the Windsor Star. Anyone who has been in touch with events has realized that trouble was brewing. It was only a matter of time until tlie differences would boil over. t The dismissal of a steward was not the real cause, it being merely the match which touched off the dynamite. For a long time there, has been a chip-ori-the-shoulder spirit in the Ford plant. There has been a constant friction, an ever-present idea that someone was trying to gyp someone else.
