Canada’s Place in the Americas
A REFLECTION of Canada’s new stature as an independ-
A ent nation is found in Senator Vandenberg’s suggestion
to the Pan American union that the dominion be invited
to join that body.
Mi. Vandenberg’s suggestion recalls a statement ny
I,. B. Pearson, Canadian undersecretary of state for ex-
ternal affairs, in a speech last month. Commenting on Ins
country's absence from the l nion, Mr. IVarson said, I nt
short answer is that we have never been asked.”
That may sound more like a snub than is actually the
case. Until the war began few Canadians had any interest
in Latin America or felt themselves bound to the southern
republics by any hemispheric tie. Canada’s trade with Latin
America was of trifling importance.
Likewise Canadians’ sense id' their country as an inde-
pendent world power was slow to develop. Until alter
World War I Canada was virtually a colony. Great Britain
handled her foreign affairs until 1027, when the Canadian
government sent its first diplomatic mission abroad. Can-
ada's rirst minister to a Latin American country was not
appointed until P.MI.
Whaf This Pump Needs Is Priming
a
EffORf
F
jiOR many years there was also opposition .in the C.S.
government to Canada’s membership in the Pan Ameri-
can union. To give Canada a place in the union, it was
reasoned, would be to give Britain a voice in western hemi-
sphere affairs. Canadian government officials did not seem
to object to this line of reasoning.
The recent war, of course, changed all that. Com-
pletely shut off from her prewar European markets and
almost isolated from Britain, Canada turned her eyes
toward the south. She discovered Latin America and was
discovered in turn. Her industry, her scientists and her
fighting men contributed largely to victory.
Defensively, too, Canada has gained new hemispheric
importance. Her large uranium deposits are linked with the
development of atomic energy. Opening of Arctic air routes
puts her in front line of new approach to the Americas.
* * *
AS a democracy Canada offers an excellent example of
■** orderly popular government. The peaceful relations of
the English-speaking majority with a large minority group
of different language and culture are a model of good
neighborliness which other American countries might ob-
serve.
In view of all this it hardly seems possible that the
Union’s governing board can ignore Mr. Vandenberg’s plea
for “total, new wcy-ld unity” in which “our continental
brotherhood is complete from the Arctic Circle to Cape
Horn."
It seems equally unlikely that Canada, conscious of her
new role as part of the interdependent Americas in this
interdependent world, would refuse an invitation.
High prices have taken the place of the war in making
Americans eat sensibly.
A French horn player’s wife, seeking divorce, claimed
he lavished affection on another woman. A toot-timer, eh?
We’ll give you one guess as to whom you can blame if
success looks you over and then’ overlooks you.
Some folks agree that honesty is the best policy—for
everyone else.

TIIK STORY: After a lifetime
of dazzling Hie World, the great
actress Sophie van Eyck comes
home to Ihe little Maine eoasl
town where she was horn. Widow
of an inlet national banker, she
had lived eomfnrtulily on the
Itlviera until the war. In her party
are Victoria Jenkins, her grand-
daughter; Mareel Perrault, an
rldrily frenchman who is her por-
trait painter, and Sir Charles Mad-
den, her liutler. Sophie hus
lioiiglit the old IVahodv house
on exclusive (loose Neck point.
* * *
V
/\UT on the sea cliffs Sophie van
U Eyck’s granddaughter was sit-
ting In the sun.
A clerk In the village had told
her the summer. people — those
of them who planned to come up
(his year—were beginning to open
their houses. Victoria wondered
if there were anyone yet in the
Ldg house next door which the vil-
lage clerk had told her belonged
to a Boston family named Bagot.
She decided to see if there were
any signs of life on the place.
Victoria at her full height was
not much over five feet tall.
Against the illimitable stretches
of the oconn she looked very small
indeed’. The wind pressed her
buttercup-colored dress against
her legs and her pale blond lvur
into her mouth as the followed the
rough path that lay along the
shore.
She came to a cove whose beach
was formed ol enormous cobble-
stones worn smooth by the tide.
A small sloop was anchored in
Ihe bay and someone was tying
n dinghy up to n little wharf. This
person, she saw at a glance, was
young and male and as such a
predestined victim of her especial
charm. She walked .steadily for-
ward.
When she came to where the.
pier Joined the shore she stopped,
expectant. The young man looked
up long enough for her to see that
he was singularly handsome, then
returned without a word of greet-
ing to his occupation of removing
oars and equipment from the
dinghy. Vicky decided to speak
herself.
‘Hello.” she said in her charm-
ing. breathless, child's voice. “Does
this palh take me to the light-
house?”
"If you want to go there." said
the young man without turning.
“Oh I don't,” Vicky said cheer-
fully. "But it's about the only
place there Is to go."
You could go home. I suppose,"
said the young man. He turned,
straightened, and really looked at
her. Then a slow blush began at
the base of his throat and flamed
up to his blond hair while Vicky
watched, fascinated, her mouth
very slightly and attractively open.
"I—I beg your pnrdon." he said.
"I hadn't noticed you. I thought
you were a little girl. I'm so sorry.
Yes. of course, just follow along
the shore path."
* * *
"1 LIVE at Gray Shingles." said
* Vicky. "Right around that
point."
The young man was now beside
her. She met his intent gaze with
calm, because one point on which
she possessed perfect self-confi-
dence was her appearance: she
was as unself-eonscious about it
as a kitten. The expression on the
face of the young man as he got a
good look at her skin and eyes was
hot a^all unexpected.
"Madame van Eyck's house?"
he asked.
"Yes; she's my grandmother.''
"“'m Sailer Bagqt. Everyone
rails me Salty, though."
"Hello. Salty."
“Say I forgot to ask y o u r
name."
“Victoria."
'Your last • name. loo. You’re
legitimate, aren't you?"
“I think so,” said Vicky. "That
I if. I hope so.”
fhil'y laughed heartily. It \yns
obvious he was already her vic-
tim. ntid she thought it had bpen
almost too easy.
"Anyway." she said. "I'm known
as Jenkins, which was my father's
name That's the name I go by—
Vtcky Jenkins, My mother was
Sophie van Eyck's only child "
"Sophie van Eyck!" he ex-
claimed In reverence. "I can't
believe she’s right here, like an
ordinary next-door neighbor. She's
a legend in our house It’s almost
like meeting someone out of the
Bible.”
"Well," Vicky said. ‘I'll be go-
ing dn home now Maybe I'll see
you again."
"I thought you were on your
way to the lighthouse," he said
* * *
ATICKY remembered she had
* asked the way there. "Oh, not
today.” she said without changing
expression. "I simply asked If thus
Is the path, r thought I’d walk
over there when I have more time.
Well, goodby."
He obviously wanted to detain
her but did not quite know bow.
“Goodby." he said, a little wist-
fully. She was nearly out of sight
when he was Inspired. “Vicky!
Would you—what about .going to
the movies with me tonight?"
She turned on the path. “All
right." she. said engeify, like n little
girl.
"What would be a convenient
lime today for me to call on your
grandmother?"
"Oh, Salty, do you have to conic
today? T know she'd love to see
you but—■”
“But you promised to go to the
movies with me tonight!"
"I know I dfd. only you don't
want to take Grandmother too, do'
you?"
"No, but I'd like to ask her
permission to lake you.”
Vicky looked at him. tall and
blond and outrageously beautiful
and wondered If he were quite
right mentally. "Well T hardly
think it necessary. She'd probably
be surprised if you did.”
He looked pleased. "It is quick,
isn’t it? But that's the way 1 afh
Vicky.'
Vicky laughed appreciatively
with just a trace of apprehension.
Perhaps she had overplayed This
was going a little faster than she
had planned and might even get
out of control. Yet. as she said a
quick goodby and esenped back
along the path to home territory,
she found herself looking forward
very much to the movies in Goose
Neck.

Behind the Scenes
In Washington
Udsnii
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
•K \SHINGTON, D. C— (NEA)— Revived White House concern
* over high prices is something of a paradox. Six months later you
mm find people worrying because prices are too low.
Economic prophets are a dime a dozen now. They are about the
only thing on the market which is cheap. Their
predictions run all the way from continuing boom,
through varying stages of temporary recession, to
inevitable bust. The reader can take his pick.
Probable truth of the matter is that nobody really
knows what’s ahead and there isn’t much that any-
body could do about it if he did.
Even the President has admitted that all he can
use to help force prices down is moral suasion. It’s
never very effective.
Right after price controls were taken off last
June, there was a lot of loose chatter about how
the good housewife would force prices dawn by her
moral suasion. The theory was that if housewives refused to pay high
prices, sellers would be forced to cut prices. As every consumer and
lus cuts and dogs well know, it hasn’t worked that way. Prices kept
going right on up.
Today’s real problem is to keep prices from going any higher. The
higher prices go the greater the danger becouse-price changes always
tend to overshoot themselves. When rising, they go too high. When
killing, they go through the bottom.
rriIE trick that business must perform today in avoiding disaster is
1 to reduce prices so gradually that the country can absorb a little
deflation without a crash. As the president said, they've got free en-
terprise—now let’s see if they can make it work.
If someone around the White House had a magic wand to wave
over prices and force them down, he would be hard put to know just
how much waving to do.
There is no one price index that takes in all farm, factory, and
business activity in the U. S. Based on 1939 prices as being 100, the
consumers' price index today stands at 153. Wholesale prices are 176.
Industrial production is 188. Construction activity is 254. Cash farm
income is 26C. Factory payrolls are 320. Freight car loadings are 150,
and department store sales are 260. Averaging them doesn’t mean a
tiling.
But take the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumers’ price index as
the most familiar figure of the lot. It shows nriees of consumers’ cost
of living items for moderate income families m the larger cities to be
53 per cent higher than they were in 1939.
There is general agreement thdl the prices making up this index
aren't going to come down until there is more thafh enough of every-
thing—food, furniture, housing, clothing, and’so on—to go around. .
IF maximum employment and production are maintained, there can
1 be an increase of supplies for consumers, and there will be enough
purchasing power to soak it up. Say that a 10 per rent increase in
production would do this trick.
The question then would become: How much should prices be
dropped so as to absorb this extra production and still maintain a
stable economy, without a crash and without even a recession?
A few economists who have worked on this problem have come up
with an answer of from 7 to 8 per cent. In other words, if the con-
sumers’ price index could be dropped from 10 to 13 points—down to
140 or 143, it would be a healthy thing for the whole economy.
This was where the index stood last July. That was just after the
first round of postwar strikes and wage increases was over. Wage ad-
justments made up to that time were supposed to cover the increases
in the cost of living up to that time.
If the country hadn’t been so anxious to get out from under price
controls, the index might have stayed around 140. i
The job stMI ahead of the free enterprise system is to get prices
back to that level with a minimum of disturbance. If it doesn't, well
—as Harry Truman says—wage increases would be justified, f
ADVICE TO MOTORISTS
SAN FRANCISCO —(U.Ri— The
California Slate Automobile asso-
ciation is advising motorists to
stop and relax occasionally when
they are on long trips as one way
to reduce accidents. "Don't over-
drive yourself or your car." the
association said. “Fatigue takes
the pleasure out of motoring and
is a frequent cause of accidents”
