Important Decision Coming Up 'It is important that we should consider the economic situation in Canada. -Just yesterday the people of the Urjjted States were told that they are faping this year the worst food shortage in the history of the country. J In addition to the shortage and rationing, consider the prices that the people of the United States have to pay not only for their food but their clothing prices so notoriously and so scandalously high that every one is talking about them. Then think of the situation of Canada where rationing has so far harmed few if any of us, where prices are still under reasonable control, increases that there have been in the cost of Hying being matched for a goodly number at least in increase in earnings. ! We hear much criticism of the eitnment which has carried us through thje war thus far we have engaged in criticism ourselves over such things as itf handling of the manpower situation and its sincere if somewhat over conciliatory yet successful efforts to maintain the unity of the nation. .Possibly we have been inclined to overlook and accept as matter of cfiur.-jo the good acts of this government the best of which acts have been iti eminent success in keeping the nation on an even economic keel and free of inflation, keeping its people well fed and well funded and, over all, achieving a measure of war effort in every field that has been the unexcelled envy of every nation in the world. : We may criticize the government. Yet it is our duty to admit its good wbrks. It is, indeed, our fair privilege td emphasize them. We need not apologize for doing so. .' Shortcomings which :it may have notwithstanding, the Mackenzie King government, when the time comes soon fqr it to meet the people at the polls YOUR Red Cross Needs YOUR Dollars for relief of suffering NOW! Suffering mounts as the war progresses and victory nears. The merciful ministrations of your Red Cross are needed more than ever for prisoners of war, wounded and sick, victims of Nazi and ask for a renewal of confidence, will be able to present a fiscal and economic record of which it may rightly and justifiably be proud. It will be for the people to seriously consider what they are going to say by their ballots to a government which has kept its people, even its most severe critics, economically secure and physically satisfied in a measure never before achieved. It will be their responsibility if they decide to set up an administration which would carry them into new fields of political experimentation with the risk of disaster to one and all. There will be political blandishments of many kinds offered in the forthcoming election campaign and the people will be called upon to measure the arguments with great degree of good sense and sound reasoning. Apart from its errors of commission and omission, any wartime government is bound to become unpopular. Citizens don't like paying heavy taxes, they don't like rationing and they don like price control, wage control or National Selective .Service. They may admit that some or all of these wartime phenomena have been necessary, even though Canada fought the war of 1914-18 without such weapons; but the government that imposes the restrictions and collects the taxes must accept its unpopularity as part of the price it pays for power. Irritation with government arises more from the details of administering its policies than from the policies themselves. For example, no honest patriot will argue that we could wage war without submitting to burdensome taxes. The government implements the people's will when it provides in its budget for the legitimate costs of war. When it works out specific measures for collecting these costs from the taxpayers, it all too frequently follows principles that strike the citizen as mean or dishonest. In placing our support in the next election, we should get above the more inconsequential yet much discussed considerations and consider the record and honestly decide to our own satisfaction which of the groups that present themselves are best canable of assuming the grave responsibility of government in these momentous times. Probably at no time in tiistory will it be more important for each and every one of us to exercise a sane and unprejudiced act of franchise. .
