If we assume that each | job pays $3,000. year — the average wage in Cana- da tod ayo this makes 11,000 jobs. It is a small number in relation to the 400, 000 Canadians now un- employed. It is realized, of course, that these calculations do not tuke into account jobs to he created by con- struction of the,St. Lawrence Seaway, the largest single public work project ever under taken in Cuna- du, This will take care of hundreds of more work- vrs, but even so there will he a long way to go before the unemployment problem is fully met. Qn the whole, the government is to be commend- ed for refusing to be panicked into excessive public | works spending, There is no evidence whatsoever that the country is heading into a depression or that the unemployment situation will he serious for an ex- tended period. Nevertheless, having rightly de- cided that the real stimulus to employment must be = provided by private business, the government should help private business do*the job by reducing taxes, Until it is sufficiently relieved of its present tax burden to increase production and expand, private business can never play the part it should in redue- ing the number of jobless, Polish Hostages L POLISH pilots. must henceforth be married | L A men, Young aeronautical gradtiates who chance to he still single are old quite bluntly that. they will not receive a licence to fly until they have joined the ranks of the benedicts, The Russian authorities are not ‘operating on the theory that the man with responsibilities will be the more careful pilot, nor, needless to say, are they endeavoring to give Dan Cuyid a helping hand. Their order has a far more realistic aim; the Polish pilot must have a wife whom he can (and ‘must) leave behind as‘a living pledge of his “IdValty” to the state, —Brockville Reconder and nes bon! : “A 4 rae FINDS.
