After going through an unprecedented five years of prosperity, the like of which it has never before enjoyed, and not likely to again, the Canadian -National Railway System, which is government owned, has set a bad example for other large concerns and businesses, says the Interior News of Smithers. Despite an urgent plea by the government for employers to take on every extra man they possibly can the C.N. has adopted a ruthless, pessimistic policy of cut-down and shutdown. They seem to have no clear-cut plan for the future, and have been stalling and quibbling over the possible construction of a new passenger ship in their own ship building yard at Prince Rupert; Meantime skilled employees are being laid off and allowed to scatter across the Dominion in search of other work. The latest example of inefficient management is the news this week that the Jasper-Rupert division will be cut to a tri-weekly mixed passenger service. Again, by this action, many employees will be forced to leave this division to seek steady work elsewhere- The government could establish a policy of routing wheat and other commodities for the Far East by way of Rupert, thus increasing the business over this line. Vancouver would never miss this diverted wheat business and it would help to maintain the prosperity of this division and the labor situation as a whole. Those are the plain facts have ye any governmert t officials who can face them and not feel the need to dothe right thing for a change? Nationalization In Britain . . . 15 Given practically a free hand by aitovenvhelming victory at the polls in July, Britain's Labor government is. going ahead with its gigantic experiment in the nationalization of industry and services. This program, sponsored by Cle-riient R. Attlee, now prime minister, and his party, was a major issue in . the election campaign. Conservatives, . who held a majority in the war government, saw in it danger to thev liberty of the individual and a menace to the free enterprise on which See the range jn Zipper Sweaters and Button Cardigans. . $4.95 nd $5.95 . Sizes 3G to 44 "THE MEN'S SHOP" they said Britain ha dflourished in the past. "Free enterprise vs. Public Ownership" was the main election theme and it still is the basis of conflict in parliament between the major parties. The long-term aim of Labor is a "Socialist Commonwealth of firent Britain" and for its first five years at Westminster the party set forth a detailed program on which a start , has been made. Nationalization of, the Bank of England, the first step, passed through the Commons with" little excitement, mainly because the association between the bank and the government has been so close fori generations that the change meant little. Since then the nationalization path has been more thorny. Fuel Minister Emmanuel Shinwell has admitted the difficulties in nationalizing coal, gas and electricity; public ownership of inland transport involves numerous problems which the government agreed might take time to work out; and decisions on public ownership of iron and steel have been delayed until a report on means of increasing the efficiency of the existing industry is received and studied. In November Herbert Morrison, government leader in the Commons, threw down the gage of battle to the opposition when he declared the government's intention to proceed with the nationalization program at all possible speed and announced that owners who allow their properties to fall into disrepair because of the prospect of nationalization will face the danger of reduced compensation. The public - ownership program now in sight has not caused undue alarm in financial and industrial circles. Concerns likely to be nationalized, such as the railway companies, have said they expect adequate compensation will be paid. The government has said it does not' intend to nationalize insurance companies. In many other fields public ownership is something for the remote future and not an immediate prospect. Apart from its interest in public ownership, the new government seeks to extend social security legislation ri6w on the United, Kingdom's statute books. An omnibus national insurance bill will provide higher pensions for the aged, widows and others in need- Pending introduction of this legislation the government faced a ".revolt" of nearly 200 of its members who demanded that the basic old-age pension rate of 10 W.to) a yeeR be increased forthwith, and it is making new haste with the promised legislation.
