BY the Assoeioisd Press

OTTAWA, Nov. 16.-Radio ad-

and more obnoxious. the director
general Of programs for the Ca

Mr.. Bushnell told a luncheon

advertisers should avoid modelling
their commercials on those heard

Many. he said, have been so
offended by radio advertising that

THE PRODUCTIVE WILL SURVIVE

The Bureau of Mines has announced
that coal is being looked to as provider of
essential chemicals now In short supply or
which will be in time of emergency Among
these chemicals are benzene and phenol
Benzene is used in synthetic rubber, plas.
tics. nylon, and the new detergents. PhenOl
is vital for military purposes.
Fortunately this country has a coal
industry capable of producing the tonnage
required both for peace or war. Even when
beset by strikes and sporadic government
seizures, mine operators have gone ahead
with mechsnization and other operating
innovations that have helped to offset the
descriptive effects of rising costs over which
they have had no control. Because of their
pFogressiveness. ample coal viii be avail

the derivatives so vital in national emery

1t is no exaggeratiOns to say that the
people of America can sleep sounder at
night because of industries like coal The
world. whether we like it OF not, is passing
through an era when the primitive element
of force is dominant. The productive will
survive. and this country is productive be-
cause her people have never been shackled
by political oppression. In pinch, as a ma
ton OF free enterprisers. they can work
miracles. Management and research staffs

WHAT is SOCIALISM?

We have a number of officeholders
IN Federal and state governments who are
actively spending their time and the tax
payers money TO promote government
ownership of some of the nations basic
business such as electric power production
and medicine. They use public funds taken
from private enterprise in the form of
taxes. to propaganda and lobby fol
government-Owned business which pays no
taxes
They object to private enterprise
fighting to keep from having its throat
cut by subsidized government competition
They become highly indignant at
having their own plans to put government
into business called socialistic
Government has taken over the basic
lines of business in England and there is
no argument about that being socialism.
Why try to fool the people of our
country into thinking our government can
go into commercial business at public ex-
pense. to the ultimate exclusion of private
citizens, and still not have socialism here?
1t would be well for proponents of
government electric power monopoiies and
compulsory Federal medical plans to look
up the definition of socialism in the die.
