Published every Thursday at the office of The Nanton News, on the corner of First Avenue and Norrish Street, Nanton, Alberta, THE ENEMY STOPS SHORT When an individual, either as an enemy agent or as an honest. per- son who believes what he says, whispers that Canada s Victory Loan bonds will not be cashed af- ter the war, he does not go far enough. To be consistent, and fair, he should add that any future con- dition in this country which would cancel out the value of Victory Bonds would also make all life in- surance policies worthless. He should also explain that savings accounts would be wiped out. He should point out that all dollar bills, five dollar bills, or any cther kind of currency, incuding silver coins, would be just something to toss into the ash can. Victory Bonds cannot be set THE NANTON NEWS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1942. aside as something separate and apart from, other obligations . of this, our country. They are just as sacred a promise to pay as the one dollar bills we carry in our poc- kets, These bonds are held by the people of Canada, And the only way through which they could be repudiated would be by a decision of the people of Canada not to pay themselves back. The pessimist s out of order in Canada. The assets and resources of this country which back up these loans from the people are billions and billions of dollars in excess of the loan totals. Even with all the borrowing that has had to be done since the start of the war in 1939, the interest cost of Canada s total debt to this date, in only 189 million dollars a year, Canadians can and will meet in- debtedness of that size. Fifty years from now our children and our children s children will likely smile quietly at the small financial problem which we thought was so big.

The Allied nations are faced with the necessits of immediately creating synthetic Tubber and various forms of alcohol from products which readily lend theives to this conversion, ac- cording to statement issued today by the North-West Line Elevators Association. Wheat canbe -used in Inrge quan tities for manufacture of higher form of alcohol for conversion into synthetic rubber. Whent also is-par- ticularly suited for conyersion. into explosives, chemicals and high test motor fuels required by fast: fighting planes and bombers, statement. continues. gt; More than two and one half years rior to the outbreak of war Line Elevator Companies advocated, before the Turgeon Royal Grain Inquiry Commission that the Goyernment jive practical assistance in determin- ing: Be possibilities of finding addi- tional )tises for farm products, Following this the Line Elevator Companies representative visited the pe al research laboratories in the ited States to make a report on the possibilities of wheat and other farm products being utilized in indus- trial products, This report, which was Jaid before the Dominion Government, Indicated a field for extensive use of wheat in manufacture of motor fuel. The Government was then urged to erect experimental motor fuel plants and to establish laboratories designed especially to conduct research into finding new and expanded uses for wheat and other farm products, Canai carryover of old crop wheat at July Sist, 1942, was 424,- 048,429 bushels. The 1942 crop is estimated at 587,000,000 bushels, an all-time record. The Government has indicated that it will take delivery of only 280,000,000 bushels of the 1942 prairie cope With the Japanese at her front gates Australia, in July of this year, mut into operation the first. of four stilleries for conversion of wheat into power alcohol. When Australia s resent power aleohol project is com- Pleted she will have four distilleries producing annual; r lons Tag aporoximate ly 5,000,000 bushels of wheat each year. If Australia ean develop industrial uses for wheat in such a period of stress and danger a ing through it should be possible for this continent to Ii wise find new uses for our huge sur- plus stocks of wheat. Atortive Agreements Nothing constructive is being ac- complished to meet the present. prob- Jem of the wheat farmer. It is true that an International Wheat Confer- ence, in recent months, held series of meetings. This conference was attended by representatives from Can- ada, Argentina, Britain, Australia and the United States, Certain con- clusions were reached, to come into effect after the war. Tt is most difficult to share any optimism that an International Con- ference mun nt that Mold at Washing: ton can or will have any ay le. effect on the post-war wheat situa- tion. For any conference to be eff tive it must be attended by all interested Nations, and particularly by those Canada and other exporting countries as wheat post-war customers. Such a conference is, of course, now impossible and may be for some period of time after the close of hostilities. Previous World Wheat Conferences did nothing to solve past and present wheat prob- lems and there is little reason to expect any worthwhile results from future conferences. Importing coun- tries have shown in the past that they will buy wheat from whence it can be most cheaply purchased, says the statement. Importing countries frowned on the attempts made by wheat exporting cuntties to;ditate whvat prides the decade following the Great Wa Those attempts added to their desi for self-sufficiency in production of foodstuffs. Both man and nation will resist price dictation and monopoly inthe Mecounltics of life. No wheat exporting nation or combination of wheat exporting nations, could long maintain a price cartel on wheat which would prove satisfactory to both producer and cdnsumer. The interests of these two opposing fac- tions are too remote to hope that any International Council, regardless of how powerful, could fx a price which would result in Canada maintaining her role as the breadbasket of the world.. Argentina demonstrated dur- ing the term of the Inst World Wheat Agreoment that export quotas mean Tittle or nothing when a country hn commodity on its shelves that ita farm population has produced and must sell. Expanded Markets Js Solution The position taken by the Line Elevator Companies, prior. to. the War, was that solution of the wheat problem lay in expanding existing markets; locating new and profitable markets and uses for wheat and return to free International exchange ting of goods, rather than res production and placing quo sales of wheat abroad. That still is the policy of the Line Elevator Companies, In the return to free International exchange of goods, as soon as possible after the War, Ii the real hope of the wheat farmer, Mennwhi ry. possible avenue of expanding uses for wheat must be devoloped. Wheat farmers have met the demands of the Federal, government ih Feducing wheat acreage. The Cana- dian Wheat Board, by law, is per- mitted to accept delivery of only 280,000,000 bushels of the 1942 crop. What will the farmers do with the balance of the 1942 crop? That Balance will amount to approximately 247,000,000 bushels. Canada and her All test motor fuels for their figi'ing airplanes. Tho higher forms of alco- hols are also needed for synthetic rubber and alcohol in greater quan- tities than are now being produced. These necessary supplies can obtained through conve into various forms of alcohol such 1 alcohol, butyl aleohol and butylene glycol and which in turn can be converted into rubber. Distilleries Needed in West Unfortunately tho Line Elevator Companies were not muccesstul, prior to the War, and in the early War years, in having tho Government Adopt plans for the erection of distil- Jeries for the conversion of wheat into alcohol. At that time it was more simple to sectire the material and labor requifed for the erection of the necessary plants for converting wheat into alcohol. The Government a few days ago announced that from November Ist tho output of all distilleries will be directed to the manufacture of commodities required in the production of synthetic rubber and cliemical and explosive needs of the Allies. To adequately mect the situation action should be taken to detormine the advisability of erecting Gistillery, plants nt strategie pointe throughout the West for Wa: poses and in which wheat would be converted into alcohols, required in the manufacture of synthetic rubber and into high test motor fuels. for airplanes. The placing of these planta at central points in the Western wheat area would to that extent release railway equipment and lake Syesor ther War ase inaend of haul grain from the prairies to Eastern Canada. In addition, the large cane sugar refineries located on the east and west coasts might be converted for use in manufacturing wheat into alcohols for War purposes. There is aitteulty now in, importing, sugar cane and Canada is appro ching: stage whero she will be dependent for on domestic sugar beets. Thi elopment would leave the cane refineries with no useful func- tion, The beet migar factories can operate only four months of the Your in extracting sugar from beets. ho reason for this is that the sugar content in beets drops rapidly three or four months after they are har- yested, Possibility of using the five large beet sugar factories located in ie eee Ontario tor i surplus wheat in our War Hachine during te femainihy eight months of the year should be studied.

More scrap stool and iron s urgently needed for more ships, tanks, planes, guns and munitions: You are asked fo do your part by turning in every available ounce of scrap metal from your farm. In order to facilitate the systematic collection of scrap fron and steel in the three Prairle Provinces, the Wartime Salvage Limited, a Government Company, has completed arrangements with the following Western Canadian Elevators for collection and purchase of scrap fron and steeli 7 : Alberta Wheat Pool. Saskatchewan Pool Elevators. Manitoba Pool Elevators Ltd. United Grain Growers Limited. aane North-West Line Elevator Association. These Companies handle and purchase this material on behalf of the Government without cost fo the Government, and without profit to themselves. Any monies received over and above the actual cost of handling will be donated to War Charities. An Agont of one of the above named Elevator Companies has been appointed in your district as on official buyer on behalf of the Wartime Salvage Limited, The price to be paid hy these Agents has been fixed by the Department of Munitions Supply at 7.00 per nef fon at the elevator, for all forms of scrap iron and steel excluding: (a) Sheet tin of any kindy Automobile bodies and fenders; (c) Stovepipe; and (d) Wooden attachments, This price applies at any designated point in the Prairie Provinces. Your contribution to the war effort and to war charities s simplified by this arrangement and t will be more effective inasmuch as you now can take your scrap metal fo the Elevator designated in your district and obtain a receipt for it from the Agent. Should you desire to donate your sorap to the war effort, then such recelpt voucher oan be endorsed by you, payable to the Voluntary Salvage Committee in your community. The Voluntary Balyage Committee will use such money for war charitable purposes. Your contribution of scrap fron and steel is urgently needed NOW.
