within the grounds.
The reformatory also is giving

had challenged the Dominion
governments right TO confer
far-reaching authority on vari-
Gus controllers, who were not
answerable TO Parliament. The
Supreme Court ruled. however,
that the government was within
its rights in so doing.
Chief Justice Sir Lyman Duff
pointed out that the War
Measures Act passed by Parlia-
ment early in the last war con-
ferred on the government "the
power and responsibility to take
action in an emergency"
There Is always, of course"
the chief justice commented,
"some risk of abuse when wide
powers are committed In gen.
eral terms to any body of men.
Under the War Measures Act,
the final responsibility for the
acts of the executive rests upon
Parliament. Parliament aban-

tribution. cat best" he says,
lit is a means intended to pro-
vide a measure of rough justice
mot a perfect division of avail
able supply"
The point system, now in
effect for numerous commodities
in England, is also to be applied
to the rationing of canned goods
in the United States.
Under it, each type of goods
In a given commodity class is
assigned a certain point value.
Consumers are able to buy
larger quantities of goods which
are plentiful than they can Of
scarcer varieties; and as a
scarcity develops in any new
line purchases may be restricted
by altering the point value.
This principle already has
been applied in Canada in gaso-
line rationing, where purchas-
ing value of each coupon has
been adjusted from time TO time
to meet special shortages.

month of purchase.
Canada is completing what
officials term probably the big
gest printing and distribution
job in her history-the issuing
of 100000 new ration books
10 serve adults and children
throughout the dominion. Weigh
ing 20 tons, they would fill a
total of nine box cars.
Filed singly. the books would
reach IL miles in the air, and
their aggregate of 144,000,000
pages would form a ribbon more
than three and one-half inches
wide, stretching five times across
Canada.
In addition 10 coupons for
tea, coffee, sugar and butter,
each book contains three sheets
of spare coupons, which may be
utilized later as more commodl-
ties are placed on the rationed
list.

he says, recalling the deflation-
airy collapse after the last war,
and the economic difficulties of
farmers and others who had to
eat out their lives" trying to
pay for what they had bought
on the instalment plan at in
flated prices.
1--WE are determined to wage
war without infiation," Ilsley de-
ctares. "That Is something new
in history; all major wars I'm the
past have been accompanied by
imitation and followed by defia-
ton. This has added enormously
10 the hardships and miseries of
these wars, and has led to eco
nOmic and social ills which have
strangled prosperity and helped
W
1--WE must avoid imitation II
we are TO fight this war 10 the
full extent of our ability. IL we
were spending great deal of
time and effort trying TO keep
up with rising prices, trying TO
negotiate revision of wage rates,
trying TO spend our money be-
fore IL lost its value, bargaining
TO keep ahead Of the other fell
low. we would not be able to
keep at our work as well as we
now can.
eff we were torn by disputes
over rising prices, over the adj
justment of pensions and the
difficulties OF those living on
their savings we would certainly
impair our unity Of spirit.
Boost Cost of War
eff the cost of living were
sh citing up by substantial
amounts each month we would
be thrusting the costs OF the
war upon many of those least
able to bear them. IL we let
imitation proceed, we would in
crease greatly the cost of the
war and the size of the national
debt.
'If we let prices get out OF
control, we would find IL very
difficult TO readjust ourselves To
peacetime conditions when the
war is over. For all these
reasons, 1 consider all the diff
ficulties and costs of price con-
troll, 10 be little enough for the
advantages which we gain"
Edgar G. Burton, retail trade
administrators for the price
board, has warned Canadian
business that it must prepare to
operate on a more efficient basis
than in the past, and on a lower
margin of profit.
maximum margins or prices
will not be set so low that only
the chain store will survive"
Burton says, "but there will al
ways he a small number of bust
nesses for which the margins set
will be too low.
THE operator with very high
costs will have TO cut down the
service he is giving TO get into
line with more economical type
of business. The board Is advis-
ing retailers whose expense per-
centage TO sales II abnOrmally
high, TO do something about 1t
