ferment which gives the life-im-
pulse to democracy.
Some of us speak bitterly of
subversive thought and influences,
but most of us believe that out of
the struggle of many minds. each
pursuing its own course, there
grows collective opinion which is
nearer to the truth than any notion
Matched full -fledged from the brain
of one individual prophet. We
think so because the span of life is
too short for any one man to have
lived and felt it in all its aspects
and because truth is SO large and
complex whole that no one man
has either the time or the capacity
to perceive more than a fraction of
it.
Therefore, we feel that in tenn
poral matters the composite find
ings of many brains working for
men of divers origin and experience
is more likely to approximate the
truth than any formula Matched
from ore mans brain and slavish-
ly followed by a whole tribe
This same commentator, Rex Cole
said something more that is food for
thought. In discussing future in
dustrial developments. he had this
to offer:
THE Dominion sof Canada is per-
haps the last haven for venture
capital not only because it is one
of the few remaining frontiers that
has yet to be pushed back but be-
cause its resources have hardly
been explored, let alone exploited
and its laws are still liberal enough
to encourage enterprise. In the
United States, obstructionist laws
and petty officialdom have hedged
money about until it is extremely
difficult for those who venture to
get high reward for their enter
prise and risk. In Canada. this has
not yet come to pass, with the re-
suit that a great deal of American
capital and money from all parts OF
the world are coming to the Domin-
ion, attracted by the almost unlim-
tied opportunities which this young
country still affords"
That shouldn't need any further
comment.
I was talking not SO long ago with
a returned soldier. The matter OF
extravagant governmental spending
and the heavy taxation necessary to
cover the spending was being dis
cussed. Whereupon the returned
soldier offered this bit of informa-
ton
Il heard it said more than once
by boys on the fighting front that
what was the use of going back
home and working hard to get a
head-why, they'll take it away
from you as fast as you make it
was their bitter comment
Which only proves the point that
has been made in endless reitera-
ton for many years-that Wasteful
spending and heavy taxation kill
initiative and lessen opportunity.
