the world of tomior- \u2018on & solid foundation, I wish it to refer to a recent incident ih which you are mo doubt al- dy acquainted.; fon the 15th November, 1945, jo Montreal Gazette published sews report of a meeting which M been held in Carlton Street burch, Toronto, at which a re- jution had been passed \u201curging urch support, both \u2018moral and ncial, for Ford Motor Com- py strikers at

published.By special request, the address is : 5 Before discussing some of the eral Couneil, which met ini.terial progress, has outlived its Essential,\u201d a resume of this\u2019 sion, it is absolutely irrelevant.Neither do I wish tonight to express any opinion on the very thorny and much debated Question as to whether or not the dustrial and political disputes.It may well be that the Chureh should have opinions on such questions and should make those \u2018opinions known.However, as I have said, that fs not a matter which I am here to discuss.Church Should Take Steps But I! do want to say, and I want to say it with all the emphasis I can command, that the Church should never allow a minority of its members, or a minority of its clergy, whatever their aims or opinions may be, to speak or act in auch a manner \u2018that they seem to represent the Church itself.I want particularly to commend the secretary of the United Church of Canada for the promptness with which he corrected the mistaken impression that the persons who adopted the resolutions at the meeting in Carlton Street Church, were speaking or acting otherwise than as private individuals.May I repeat, it is perfectly in order in a free society for those opinions differ from the majority, to attempt to alter the views of the majority, by all the arts of logic and orderly discussion and persuasion that they can master.But it is not in order for them so to conduct themselves as to have it appear that they speak for the majority, or that the majority agree with them, when, in fact, such is not the case, - People Eastly Misled I have mentioned this incident because it demonstrates how easi- Iy a person, who does not know all the facts, may be misled in judging an event or a situation.What was true in this case is equally true of a larger question.The world today is divided on a fundamental issue \u2014 shall we build for tomorrow on the foundations of free enterprise, or shall we resort to some form of state-controlled economy, There is, in this country, an active minority who have come to believe that the system of individual enterprise, which has been #0 large- 1y responsible for the world\u2019s ma- usefulness and must now be discarded.- In my opinion, the great : That is not a matter which Ye come\u2018héfe to discuss; and ke mass of Canadians do not be- :-Meve this.But, as in

and central office and clubrooms at 4653 Sherbrogke Street, West, has been fulfilling a useful function for British evacuees and war brides since {ts inception in 1940, but never so well as during the festive season of Christmas.With many British wives of Canadian servicemen gtill geparat- ed by thousands of miles from their husbands, the Acorn Club has helped to soften that feeling of loneliness that must necessar- fly be intensified at this time when people like to celebrate with close ftiends and relatives, A joint Christmas party was given by the Acorn Club and the St.George's Society of Montreal to British wives and their children last week in the C.N.R.Ree- reation Association .and Vimy Ridge Canadian Legron halls on ,| Cathcart street, About 120 wives TARE + Rehabilitation Road

Westenders.There would be no final solution to world want and suffering that does not-emphasize forbearance, tolerance and good will, Mr, *Johnson believed.\u201cThese car- dina] virtues\u201d he regarded as the source of \u201cthe courtesy and helpfulness which have become the distinguishing qualities of telephone people, and the Christmas season is a peculiarly appropriate time to speak of them.\u201d Homage to War Dead Paying reverend homage to the memory of \u201celghty-two of our comrades who will not come back,\u201d Mr.Johnson welcomed the refurn of over 1,300 of the more than 2,400 telephone men and women who will be resuming their Bel] duties.On the home front, he said, the contribution made by Bell Company people was not confined to their Quebec-Ontario territory of normal operations, In 1042, some 325 plant men had gone to Newfoundland where they erected -400 miles of pole line and cable for United States Army authorities, Later in the same year, Bell company person nel had provided part of a construction force, complete with trucks and equipment, for telephone work on the Alaska Highway and on the 420-mile stretch from Edmonton to the Montana {Colatinued

Westmount for low-cost apartment buildings have been passed on by Mayor R.Percy Adams to the Architectural, Commission as a result of his recent trip to New York.Although he attended the U.S., Conference .of Mayors while there, Mayor Adams told the Examiner he went with the ex- Press purpose of gathering infor- \u2018mation on the building of aparte ments available to young married couples with low to moderate income, renting in the vicinity, he said, of.$45 a month, - The housing shortage, he said, is not felt as severely in West- mount as in Montreal proper because there are not the same large numbers of workers to be provided for, but if the -people of Westmount want low-cost apartment buildings, the by-laws could be so amended.Aid to Shabby Section More dwellings such as these in the so-called \u201cshabby sectoin\u2019 of Westmount around St.Catherine Street between Olivier and Wood Avenues would, he thought, be an asset to.the district, but it is \u2018Qecessary first to build up the business and shopping facilities.In this regard, the Mayor said, letters have beén sent by interese ted organizations to certain owns ers in an attempt to encourage them to improve the appearance of their establishments.The Mayor has also interviewed the heads of local banks and associations in an endeavour to enlist their support towards improving conditions.Room For More Stores

to a daily advertising source was no longer a contribution to the national effort, A letter received from Herbert C.Holland, president of the National Salvage Campaign, Montreal & District Inc, shows that this news item was in error, as the organization is still going strong.\u201cFrom January 1st of this year to October 31st,\u201d Mr.Holland states, \u201cNational Salvage Committee collected

easily be + misled into thinking : that such critics speak for a larger number than they actually do.They may even be persuaded that ideas are generally accepted which, in truth, receive the backing of a very small group, \u2018It in not my desire to cast a slur on the good intentions of anyone.We in Canada are more fortunate than many nations in :the level of our public life, and Jt is my sincere belief that the vast majority of Canadians, what- \u2018ever.their political and social views may be, are actuated by an honourable love of country and .an-honest desire to see it prosper.\u2018But though good intentions may predominate in all schools of thought, it does not follow that ali schools of thought are equally right.Canadian Ideas Growing .In the same way as a disease -mhky be spread from person to person, unintentionally, by people in themselves harmless, so are we witnessing the growth of ideas In Canada, which in their full implication can result only in national calamity.While vietory by our Armed Forces has protected our democracy from aggression from without, we cannot ignore the fact that elements from within also threaten its destruction, unless our citizens are fully awake to the peril.- It is not the work of saboteurs and professional agitators that F fear most.It is rather, the acceptance of unfounded generalities on a wide scale by people who have not taken the trouble to think out what they really mean.If people have come to lose faith in free enterprise, it is mainly because they do not clearly know what freedom of enterprise is, nor why it is justified.They do not know what it has past, nor what it may be expected to accomplish in the future.Free Enterprise In Danger The people of Canada are quite Capable of judging a case on its merits, but in this instance, the case for free enterprise is in danger of being lost by default.Too little thought and attention have been given to the matter of telling the public how free enterprise works and the conditions which must obtain if it is to work well.t It is particularly important that church people do rome deep and sound thinking on this subject, for it is Very easy to confuse well-intentioned Christians with plausible arguments that no system can be right which encourages selfishness, and that the individual enterpise system is just a method whereby the selfish and material-minded may rise unhindered to the top.If this is what private enterprise means, then, of course, Christians should unite in condemning it.Free enterprise has been ac- Sased of being many things which ft is not.In its pith and substance, the real meaning and true \u201clegislation.vilie \u2018of tres enterprise tes.in the human power \u2018and enegy ich \u2018its freedom releases.Many \u201c | years ago, when Britain's overseas trade was being founded \u2014 the trade that circled the globe with a Commonwealth of Na- tlons\u2014those who sajléd forth en risky voyages to: unknown 1puds were called \u201cmerchant-qdven- turers.\u201d : , A Free Society.A sotiety dedicated to free enterprise means a -society which still keeps the spirit of adventure alive.Jt \u2018means a society free from those artificial restrictions, either by the State or by monopoly, which prevent amy person who dares to take the risk, from setting forth on new economie voyages of discovery.It means a society where, within the limits of the laws and regulations enacted in the géneral welfare, each |: individual is free to plan and con- duet his own affairs, to apply his initiative and energy in any field of endeavor and to reap the re- | wands of his efforts: It means a society whose future is not limited to the course charted by some Fuehrer at the top.It means a society whose potentialities are the sum total of the initiative, the energy, the foresight and the courage of all its citizens together, Gov't Control Growing In the years ahead there will be an increasing insistence upon the role which Government will have to play in the life of the individual.The average man will most certainly receive assistance and protection from the State undreamt of in our father\u2019s day.However, without minimizing the importance of these so-called \u201csocial security\u201d measures, it must never be forgotten that the best way to help a citizen is to enable him {o help himself.Individual independence, individual effort, individual character, individual enterprise have made Canada the nation that it 1s today.The need for these qualities remains constant.No society can flourish save by the vigodr, industry, thrift and honesty of its individual citizens.These are the very qualities which freedom of enterprise encourages and promotes, : It must always be remembered that law alone will never guarantee the perfect society, There would be no need for religion if mankind could achieve its ideal merely by enacting the proper This, however, is precisely what the Communist teaches.According to Karl Marx there is mo need for religion in order to achieve social progress.In Marxian theory, such progress is to be accomplished by a change in the laws\u2014a change to be imposed by force if necessary.Religion an Obstacle Indeed, Marx viewed religion as an obstacle and a drawback to the betterment of mankind.In his famous words, religion was \u201cthe opium\u201d which induced people to rest content with their imperfect lot.The Christian, howéver, knows better than this.The Christian knows that you cannot change human nature by means of the statute book only.This does not Art Instructions Drawing and Painting Still Life, Landscape Live Model SEVERE MASSE Studio at 4828 St.Catherine St.West Fl.4225 HA.6989 Barrister and Solicitor

others is but.to increase their.temptation.As.Lord Acton so truly said: \u201cAll \u201cpower corrupts and abbolute power corrupts absolutely.\u201d - :- In \u201cfree enterprise\u201d, I do mot advocate \u201claissez faire.\u201d Liberty is not the same thing as M- cense.We can enjoy the one ; without the drawbacks .of the other.There is no need to deny the blémsings of liberty to all in order to restrain the license of a few.The development of private enterprise has been accompanied by a corresponding development of social conscience, and, therefore, of social progress.The number of laws and regulations which now exist for the protection of the public would have \u2018seemed Utopian in the eighteenth century.Today protective legislation fills volumes of our statute books.Legislation Vast Indeed, the mass legislation which protects the workman and safeguards the public, which regulates the conduct of industry and the practice of the professions is so vast and detailed that the man in the street has ahgo- lutely no conception of the extent\u2019 to which his health, safety and well-being are due to the wise and extensive protection of the law.This does not necessarily reduce or limit freedom.On the contrary, it assures its maintenance.It is the purpose of such legislation to prevent the unscrupulous, or the thoughtless, from abusing their liberty by tyrannizing, or taking advantage of, the weak and helpless.There is no error more grave than to fall victim to the mistaken idea that the defence of private enterprise includes any defense whatsoever of unjustifiable privilege or of economic abuse.Decidedly not.No one contends that the system of private enterprise is a perfect system, or that we who live under it dwell in Utopia.But it 1s a system which works, it works \u2018better than it used to, and we can mak® it work even better still.Not Blind Faith Belief in free enterprise is not & blind profession of faith, unfounded in theory or unsupported by experience.The logic of free society has been established since Adam Smith in 1776 wrote his \u201cEnquiry Into Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.\u201d However, free enterprise itself was not fully established for some time later.As a system it barely came into its own about the time that Queen Victoria ascended the throne.Since 1914 it has been subjected to an increasing number of unfortunate restrictions, But, as the economic rule of a few hundred million people for less than a century, it has accomplished greater and more spectae- ular material progress than all the rest of mankind has achieved in all the course of history.It is true that a sbund and progressive economic system is essential to \u201cthe building of a better world.However, something more and of much greater importance is needed, We cannot ignore the fact that no man-made legislation, no matter how benevolent ît might appear to be, can is inclined to forget this fundamental fact.He is inclined to confuse sympathy for kindness and places his emphasis on the ever cireumscribe Natural law.| [In his enthusiasm for social pro- \u2018gress the most ardent reformer material rather than the spiritual LU moyen Was poid ; #* The great commoner, Se Jennings Bryan, \u2018with all.plety and love of the under-privi- leged, was bold enough to assert that no man is entitled to more from society than be contributes.In one of his public addresses he defined \u201csocial justice\u201d in the following words s~ \u201cThe social ideal towards which the world is] stitutions shall approximate towards the Divine measure of re- Wards; and this can only, be real- Jsed when each individual 1s able to.draw rom \u2018society a reward proportionate to his contribution to society.\u201d - Mr; Bryan had.found that the Natural law, and Divine Law were not in conflict.\u201cTo beliève in God lat 11 is to believe that life in this world 1s a training school where the human soul fs hammered into the shape which the Master \u2018designed.For this reason, it must be evident that we cannot help a.person by relieving him of those consequences which the \u2018Creator hag decreed must -fail upon wrong and erroneous acts.Fundamental Principles In conclusion, may I summarise brief sentences.The better world of tomorrow can only be built on the basis of certain fundamental principles which I think may be reduced to two: (1) Maintenance of a free economy, regulated to avoid abuses, and (2) Adherence to the natural and moral laws prescribed by the Great Creator of the Universe.Unless these principles are generally recognized I can see nothing but mounting disaster in the years ahead.an intelligent appreciation on the main issues involved but, intelligence was given us to use and there can be no hope for the world it man fails- to apply the God- given gift of intellect which is his.: Lord of Manor Days Gone Gone are the days when the State was run by the Lord of the Manor, when all the average man needed to know was how to plow a furrow and swing a scythe.Democracy is government by the man js to discharge the responsibilities to which he has succeeded, he must be sufficiently informed about the problems of the day to decide them wisely.He must have certain fundamental knowledge and beliefs, on the basis of which he can alone make
