Keeping Prices Reasonable business, labor and the farmer GOVERNMENT, must share the responsibility for high prices. w- Getting prices down is not just a business for any one of these. All shoukl realize that vigorous V combined efforts to reduce prices voluntarily and gradually now, insofar as it is in their ability to " do, may prevent a sharp and forced cut later. The government can help bring prices down by checking expenses, keeping rent controls, by. restraining credit expansion and by not encouraging any of the elements of the population labor and farmers as well as business to seek a larger share of the national income. Food is the biggest item in living costs and food prices are mounting, much of this being due i , to farm nnces. borne farmers at least, should be in 1 as good a position as anyone to begin the price ; ; cutting. Industrial workers have made a good relative , gain since the' start of the war. Their wages will 1 "Hbuy considerably more today than they did then yaunuuyn many may not ietn ricner uecause ui "Trecently increasing costs of living. But they might compare themselves with other sections of the com- munity especially white collar workers many of vaLkVwhomare much worse off than when the war com- jnenced. Profits are booming in some industries and some of them may warrant both wage rises and J)rice cuts. - Indeed, the two groups which have the largest opportunity today are big business and big labor. If they are tempted to look only to their own selfish """advantage, they have the power to force short-run ' At 1 A 1 1 gains J- or. memseives ai else. m,., For that reason some of the agreements for wage increases which are generally applauded should be looked at twice. Everybody is happy to see that they avoid strikes. But wage boosts that . prevent price cuts may do real harm. For price cuts benefit all consumers. Wage -increases raise the purchasing power only of those who get the increases. The economists are concerned right now because people cannot buy all that they are requiring at the prices now asked. " AVe hear of a new-old shortage lack of purchasing " "'power. The best way to increase purchasing power '""is to increase it for everybody by lowering prices. '" Politicians can jolay dangerously with theories of purchasing power. They are most dangerous , when they seek purchasing power for one bloc or fc?.-ano"tlier'-of producers. Producers may be tempted -10 'mime mat prosperity profits on restricted production. But there is more lasting prosperity when, it is more widely shared in full production at moderate prices and wages. That is the solid economic and moral basis for a drive to cut prices. i KEEP PUBLICIZING PUBLICITY and advertising must be continuous, permanent and persistent to be effective. Spurts ..1 now and then may draw transient attention but unless there is day in and day out consistency it is soon forgotten. Editor William Baker of Ketchikan, thinking of all the publicity that many newspapers and pub ' lications, including his own and ours, have been giving Prince Rupert and its position with respect to Alaska, was surprised on a' recent trip that many Americans, even those in the Pacific Northwest, did not realize one could drive to Prince Rupert and be only ninety miles from Alaska. It just shows that we must go on publicizing the fact in season and out and by every means possible. One good way is by getting the people here so that they ' will know at first hand and pass the word along. "What is true in advertising our community wares and advantages abroad is also good within V ,the community where tising consistently and steadily if the way to their door is to be really beaten. In Prince Rupert there is a tendency both as a community and by indi- viduals not to realize there is nothing like publicity " and advertising to pull the business.

WILFRED SHUTE DOCTORS' DEVELOPMENT, OF VITAMIN E CREATES CONTROVERSY Dr. Wilfred Shu,te of Guelph, Ont., and Dr. Evan Shute of London, Ont., are the two Canadian doctors whose experiments with vitamin E treatment for heart conditions has led to a medical controversy. The report of the development of vitamin E has been made to the Kansas medical association by Dr. E. Shute. The brothers worked on the treatment for 14 years,, asslstd by Dr. Arthur Vogeslang of London, Ont., and Floyd Skelton, a medical student. Mrs. R. J. Shute; 72, mother of Evan and his brother, Wilfred, was one of the first patients to receive vitamin E for her heart condition and testifies that her recovery was a "miracle." She said she was on the point of heart failure when treatments helped her. TALKS ABOUT INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Observation on "Industrial; relations, the delicate balance! of ercptoyer-emptoyee attitudes, were given: to the Prince Rupert Rotary Club Thursday afternoon by Oscar W. Pearson cf Vancouver, district manager of, Swift Canadian Ccl, who illustrated his talk with experiences of that cdmpany. IMPORTANT" THINGS IN AAfeRAGE LIFE Mr. Pearson outlined what ex-. perience and observation have indicated to be the most im portant things in the life of the average", man: 1. The stcurity that Soes with steady employment. 2. The, chance of advance ment and to know that he cart get on In the world. 3. To be treated like human beings. 4. A friendly attitude on the part cf the employer which preserves personal identity and does not submerge the Individual into the payroll as a mere number. I 5. A sense of genuine human dignity to xeei mat tney are doing; a Job worthwhile and contributing; somelnlns to so- ciety. "These are exactly the same things that our father and our grandfathers wanted. They wanted a home; to bring up their families well; to give their children the advantages of the times, and put something away for their old age. That ls Just what the average man wants now." Standards; of lhicg and edu cation have progrered until to day the average man is better educated and more capable of independent thought. These educational factors which are establishing higher living standards are contriibutiui to current unrest, Mr. Pearson said. "It seems only natural that the desire of human nature to Improve itself will manifest It-stll In some form or other. Surely, no one will quarrel with the right of an individual to Join a union or any other or- INCOME TAX Returns Prepared See R. E.

"Unfortunately, the leadership of seme of thtse organizations is not good and often gets Into the hantSs ot people who are more Interested In politics or selfish motives than they are ,n ,he best interests of the membership. "The worst feature that I see In our present situation is that certain leadership is building up a cfcsj distinction between capital and labor. However, I thlrk there Is Increasing evidence every day that the rank and file cf membership of many labor .organizations are losing faith in over-radical leadership; and that they will take care of some of these problems, themselves.

Britain's working population, at 18,122,000, ls more than 1,000,-CCQ .higher thaa before the war; 1 but requirements also are higher. The armed forces, for instance. take 1.C0Q.0CO compared with lesj than half that number. The pubhc service employs 2,130,000 compared wuh 1,405,000. Raising the school-leaving age this year will keep 163,000 juveniles out ot Industry. As, demobilization continues this year., the labor force will rise to 18,300,000.
