Canada Launches
EIeetrification
of Rural Areas

WINNIPEG W.H - Manitoba
has launched an ambitious long
term identification project de-
stined to raise the standard OF
living in rural communities and
Increase the productivity of its
farms-already at their highest
mark in history.
Farm electrification has the
No. l priority on the Manitoba
program. The provincial power
commission plans to construct
900 miles of transmission lines
annually for the next eight Or
nine years.
INCLUDES $1,000 FARMS
Fhis tremendous undertaking
will furnish power to 200 viii
lagos and $4,000 farms. Con-
struction will have to equal 80
miles a day to meet the program.
1t is estimated that rural citi-
zens will spend $3,000,000 an
nually on wiring and appliances
during the projects construction
years.
Manitoba's project reflects the
rural wealth which has been
amassed during the war. The
average gross return per year
per farm in the province now
equals $4,000, compared with
S1,246 before the war.
FARM MORTGAGES DOWN
Farm mortgages now are only
a third of what they were in
1897. During 1943 and 1914, sew
en- rural Land Title offices re-
ported that 6,361 mortgages had
been discharged and only 2,471
new ones were registered.
Gross agricultural production
in 1888 was $88,563, 900. The
1945 estimate Is S215,277 900.
During this time the trend has
been away from Manitoba's old
staple-Wheat-while the farm
ers are raising more hogs. wool,
sugar beets, vegetable oil crops
and turning to dairy products.

Agency Resists Pressure
by Business Groups

But the idea that price con-
troll might end in February
creates a psychology of infla-
tion. In this way:
Business men, if they believe
price control will end in Febru-
airy, will be inclined to hold
back until then goods they'd
have released now.
The reason: Now they must
sell at OPA prices. With price
control off in February, they
could charge anything.
TYPICAL CONTRACTS
Some business men now are
writing contracts which say in
effect:
This is the price of the goods
now. But if it's delivered after
price control is gone, the price
will be higher.
The inflationary mood of the
country-in cases where there
is no price control-can be seen
IN the squirting prices on the
stock market and in real estate.
Both are being used for specula-
ton.
OPA Boss Chester Bowles
Chief Economic Advisor. Rich
ard V. Gilbert, recently told q
New York business group: THE
inflationary psychology is Just
beginning to take hold.
TALK INITIATION
1T has not yet reached un-
manageable proportions. But eve
ry day that passes sees it grow.
The evidence is plain X X X.
Initiation is being talked about
and talked up in clubs, parlor
cars, and wherever business men
congregate."
The National Association of
Manufacturers (NAM) wants
price control ended by Feb. Is.
The National Retail Dry Goods
Association wants almost all
price control ended by February
/. The National Association of
Real Estate Boards wants rent
controls ended as rapidly as
poc@iole" and no price controls
at all on building materials or
new homes.
Bowles told the NAM at its
convention that its recommends
ton to end price control two
months from now RECKLESS in
the extreme"
BoWles has price controls on
building materials, intends to
keep them. He has control of
rents. He wants to keep that,
with housing critically scarce
and no real relief in sight for
a year or more.
He has no price controls on
sale of home but thinks there
should be. So does President
truman.
What OPA people want-al-
though only Gilbert so far has
said So is this:
Congress, in order to destroy
the inflationary psychology,
should vote now to extend price
control from June 80, l946, to
June 80, 1947.
Ordinarily, Congress wouldn't
get around to consider an extern
sion of OPA price control pow-
ers until close to June 30.
There's no indication that it will
extend them at all, much less
act now to extend them.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O-(R)
-OPA is fighting a critical two
front war: To keep price con-
trolls and to battle what it con-
siders initiation psychology.
Top OPA men, and other gov
ernment officials, have done a
lot of talking before Congress
and business groups.
They seem to be saying the
same thing over and over. They
are.
This is what they're shooting
at, and the reasoning behind the
shooting:
UP TO CONGRESS
Under the law, price control
ends next June 80. Congress can
extend it for another six months
or year beyond that date, or let
it die June 80.
Or Congress can kill price
control anytime between now
and June 80.
Some of the most powerful
business groups want price con-
troll ended in February. Those
groups have great weight IN
Congress.

Palestine Memo

Zionist leaders have laid before
the State Department an earnest
hope" that this Government will
continue to press for immediate ad-
mission into Palestine of 100, 900 Jews
from Europe, In line with President
,Truman's recent request to the
British government. Prime Minister
'Attiee recently informed the Presi-
dent he considered the figure too
high.
DR.. Abba Hillel Silver, chairman
of the American Zionist Emergency
Council, and DIR. Stephen S. Wise,
New York City, presented their plea
in a 40-minute conference yesterday
with Secretary Of State Byrnss.
They left with him a 13-point
memorandum to support their cause.
Asked at press conference later
II Secretary Byrnes gave any "satis-
faction" DR.. Silver replied: "It was
long exploratory conference on the
points raised, which were gone into
in considerable detail. The Secre-
tary did not seem to indicate the
matter is closed"
Roosevelt Letter Regretted.
DR.. Silver expressed regret" that
President Roosevelt's recently dis
closed letter to King Ibn Saud of
Saudi Arabia, in which he had
promised he would take no action
hostile to the Arab people" had
omitted to mention the long-stand-
ing policy of the American Govern
ment favorable to a Jewish home
land in Palestine. Such omissions,
said DR.. Silver, make the letter very
damaging"
Unless the 100000 unfortunate
homeless Jews are removed from
Europe, DR.. Silver said, the only
alternative his organization had
was to "give as much material re-
lief as possible until they can re-
establish themselves" He added
that the Zionist organization would
like to take out Of Europe all of
the displaced Jews Immediately, but
that would be physical impossible
ity.
Strong representations for ad-
mission of Jews into Palestine are
being made to the British govern
ment, he said, by American organ
lied labor and many Christian Or
ganizations.
do you feel that President
Roosevelt sold the Jews out?" DR..
Silver was asked.
Letter Ambiguous"
His letter was very ambiguous"
responded the Zionist leader, "and
subject to unfortunate interpreta-
ton"
Spokesman for foreign Arab
states have been threatening "vio-
lence and war" DR.. Silver said
THE American Government should
clearly indicate to them that it
does not intend to be intimidated
or blackmailed in the carrying out
of its own policies"
He charged the British Labor
party had permitted a shocking
repudiation of its own commitments
made as recently as four months
ago.

Jack the Ripper in Windsor Killings
A Day Of Prayer

DRESIDENT TRUMAN'S summons to the ma
l. ton for observance of this Sunday as national
day of prayer and of thanksgiving for the return
of peace had an instant and earnest response from
the American people.
While the first and natural impulse OF the
people was to give jubiiant expression to their
happiness, few have failed to sense .he solemnlty
of the occasion and to know the infinite beauty OF
the peace that has come to them and to gratefully
and humbly acknowledge it's divine source.
America has turned most gratefully and
humbly to God in this blessed hour of release from
the rigors and anxeties the sacrifices and TRACE
dies, the overwhelming WEAKNESS anG exhaustion
of war.
A MERICA has turned to God with prayer and
"A thanksgiving not alone for the victory in war
which was well and rghteously won in just cause,
but for the restoration OF peaceful way OF life to
the world and for the new opportunity afforded
mankind to live and work and prosper according
to the wholesome spirit of human brotherhood.
All through the dark and bitter years of the
war the American people have turned constantly
and faithfully to God for the strength to support
their good cause for the courage and spirit to pre-
vail over the forces of evil opposing them, for the
comfort and consolement and solace in sorrow and
bereavement which are only to be found in faith.
A MERICA has been true to it's great faith in war,
"A and is now true to its faith in victory and in
peace.
The peace that has come to us is peace OF
happiness and of dedication, peace of opportunity
and of responsibility, peace of justice and OF
compassion.
It is a peace of realization and fulfllment of
mans best aspirations and destinies.
It is peace according to the conscience OF
mankind, and according to the word and will OF
God.
For this blessing of peace upon u.s. upon our
free land and upon our sons who have marched
through the Valley of Death to attain it, America
reverently offers it's prayer of thanks to the God
who willed it So
