NATURALLY, there is speculation as to whether the reimposition of price ceilings by the federal government on Western Canada wheat flour and bread made therefrrjm is to be the forerunner of further price controls in View of the present inflationary trend which has been causing much concern with its signs of getting out of control. Strong pressure has been exerted on the government to return at least partially to the field of price control before the situation becomes impossible for too many ordinary people and sdme sort of ah economic collapse develops. It had been expected that the law of supply and demand would cause a levelling out of prices afte'r controls were lifted but, so far, that has not been the case. There has hot been the availability of goods that might have been anticipated, Unit production costs, what With high wages and other factors, having, doubtless, had something to do with this situation. There is a'growing feeling that something must be done in the way of a resumption of controls which W-Duld logically have to apply not only to prices but to wages. Some way , or another some sort of a balance must be reached unless a breakdown is to eventuate. A state of affairs where costs of production are too high to permit a fair profit and Where wages are inadequate to meet the cost of living cannot, of course, go on,,-. Maybe it is. that controls are the bhly answer and that the government is now inserting the thin whaite was chairman of the meeting in the absence of President D. C. Stevenson who is on holidays.

There is already concrete evidence of the harm ' being done, particularly in the way of trades Union ; 'infiltration and ill-considered demands on industry. ' History can already be referred to exemplify the danger of the few economic and political fifth columnists. ' In 1917 there Was only one comiriunist in Russia ; for every 2,277 people. What danger in that! But ; in that year the communists took over Russia. In ; the United States today there is a coftimunist party man for every 1,814 people in the country. The best ! guess is that, in Canada, the proportion of commu-! nist sympathizers to the people as a whole is one in ' 500. But, of course, we can go on saying that it ', can't happen here. We hdpe it won't but certainly it can, unless We become alive to the danger and accept oUr individual responsibility to keep on k guard against it. v . ; So it is satisfactory to see tnat the C.C.F. is among organizations that is alive to the danger.
