Canada 10 Ship
Wheat TO Reds

OTTAWA, June PA change
in government policy which will
permit shipment to Russia of SUBJ
stantial quantities of wheat was
confidently predicted here today,
following Prime Minister Church
ills declaration in favor Of aid TO
Russia in its defense against Ger
many.
Last September private inter-
ests sought an export permit for
100000 bushels for Russia at
an average price of 60 cents a
bushel, but the government re-
fused the permit for fear the
wheat would get TO Germany. AT
that time it was indicated that if
the 100000 bushel order was
filled, other orders would follow.
1t is taken for granted now that
Russia will want much greater
quantities than it did in Septem-
Der, because then it was only a
matter of supplying Russian troops
on the Manchukuan border.
AS the Ukranian bread basket
is one of the detectives of the
German thrust, it is taken for
granted Russia will quickly take
action to obtain outside supplies.

better their financial situation,

'Tn the current situation, the
factors seem to be reversed. The
market prices are being raised

new market leading the way to
relatively higher prices for later
models of used cars.

From Unions

That increased power means
increased responsibility should
be brought home by Congress to
labor leaders whose followers
have more than trebled in the
last 10 years and are now esti-
mated at 1000. 900 or more.
Labor relations used to be
largely a matter between en-
ployers and their own working
forces. So-called company
unions were common. In many
concerns there was no employee
organization.
Now company" unions are
being rapidly banned by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.

Why Save Money?

"Why have any savings? Why
not organize society 80 that each
kind of wealth will reproduce
itself automatically? Look at
what this administration Is do
Ing TO us because there are
savings TO borrow"
. Answer: Saving means fore
going current consumption. II
results in not spending. and in
accommodating funds. 1t Is the
uses Of such accumulationS OF
funds that explains why we
must have saving. Such uses are
as follows: To provide against
unforesee emergencies or
'Tainy days; TO spread the cost
and tighten the burden of ex-
pensive consumers goods. such
as refrigerators; to provide
reserve for all sorts Of business
credit. and TO enable investment
in capital goods such as ma
clIinery. The last is most inn
,portant, but all the uses are de-
sirable.
Wealth does not replace itself.
Men have 10 set aside. or save.
replacement funds. Indeed. it
is not desirable that all forms
of wealth should be replaced. as
Some may become obsolete or
harmful.

savings is like any abuse of a

principle of the corporate in
come tax, which penalties the
efficient and gives the bonus of
tax exemption to the wasteful
who end a years operations with
no net income.

to maintain a Spartan resistance
