Time was when the tendency of Indus triaY and commercial leaders was to carry on their business in water-tight compart-mcnts, their horizons and Interests bound ed by immediate problems on their desks. Government and politics were for others, mainly the politicians, and if the business leaders thought about political parties at 11 it was to wonder what they might say bout tariffs or how much they expect at election time In the way of contributions. In England, and indeed In the United States, it was; different The Chamber-, lains were products of Industrial: Birm- ingham the -empire quipped Lloyd George, "the Chamber-LAIN! and the latest example of British business leader active in politics was Lord Woolton, who organized victory for Churchill, In the United States industrial leaders were as common at and around party conventions as the city It was the great copper magnate, Thomas Fortukr Ryan, who secured the nomination of Woodaow Wilson at the Democratic national convention of 1912. Owen D. Yo.no once famous bead of General Electric, was active in politics all his lite.

John W. Davis, greatest of all corporation lawyers, sat in his shirt sleeves through a succession of Democratic conventions and once was his party's presidential can- didate. A chairman, of General was once Democratic national chairman. And at the present time three of the most 1 active figures in the Eissnhowir cabinet are the industrialists, Humphrey, Weeks and Wilson. In Canada businessmen shunned politics as a monk might shun the devil.

Privately they might lament that politics had got Into the hands of "ward-heelers" and that extravagance and inefficiency were resulting in higher taxes, but the. idea that they might or could do something about it by getting down themselves into the dusty arena of politics was something that didn't occur to them. If they appear-' ed on the public platform at all it was but to read some annual statement of a business or a bank, with the reading care-fully skirting anything political, or to appear before a service club to talk Innocuous platitudes about our "inexhaustible v-' Recently, and perhaps there have been signs of a change. Our business leaders1 or the ablest of them have seemingly discovered that what happens to their enterprises depends upon' more than the orders they issue to their executives, that in these days of Big Government and Big Labor and all sorts of -pressure groups the late and fortunes of -business are wrapped up inextricably with polities'; that what happens in Ottawa may be far more important to it than what happens in some board room of Montreal lr Toronto; that in short" the -time his come for them to step out of their marble palaces, raise their sights, widen their horizons and face realistically the world around Before us as we write Is an address delivered last week before the Executives Club of Chicago by the brilliant young "president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Mr. N.

R. Crump. Nothing could be more removed from the platitudes -and com-. fo'rtable compliments usual on such occasions. Mr.

Crump was not content with "selling Canada" to Americana. He could do' a good job on that, and he did, but the real meat of his speech was in his sharp appraisal of the problems which confronted business in relation to government-modern democratic government and in the questions he posed about them. Thus "A major development that has occurred In our -time is the growth of big government, bit labor and bis I direct your attention to this phenomenon of our time, not with any attention of proclaiming against it, but rather to ask what changes In the economic climate may.be brought about by these forces. Where are they leading 017 We were being told (went on Mr. Crump) that we now had 'built-inV stabilizers in our economy devices that would keep -us on the high road of pros-' perity.

The economic stabilizers, the planners, might be right, but 1 suggestMr. Chairman, that no matter-: bow effective, these stabilizers may be In monetary control or in putting a floor under personal Incomes to cushion, the effects of adversity, there will still be. need for' flexibility in our pricing system to meet the changing realties of supply and demand cn the market." And so we have a business leader, one of our ablest and best, daring to doubt publicly the omniscience of Ottawa, to wonder If our "planners" are really all-wise and omnipotent! -It Is a wonderful hopeful thing. If its courage and awareness can induce others in business and Industry to come out from under their beds and accept their responsibilities, it might well mark the beginning of a new era in our politics. In short, few statesmen of business, men able to lift their minds from balance sheet on their desks, may be one of the medicines which Canada's politics needs badly.

A chap with so bad a memory should keep a card-Index to remipd him of his domcstie obligations. A The. From the Canadian Press co-operative news agency we take the following: There has never been an official suggeitlon In recent years and precious few unofficial mew-tha. CandsV-armHi Jtw brfC'imSlMu' into asingle service, authorities said today.

"They were commenting on a statement last night by Maior General O. R. Pearkes that the Defence Department's ultimate goal should be a single service." "Who are And what If it was Mr. Campney, the responsible ministerwho was talking why not name him, put him between quotation marks? If i wasn't Mr. (Campney or some other responsible minister and "they" were only Defence Department officials, by what right do mere officials discuss a matter of policy?" There has been too much of this sort of thing in Canada in recent years; too many officials butting into things and places where they have no business and having their anonymity protected by words like "authorities" and If any official of the Defence Department wants to argue, for Government policy there are two correct ways of doing it He can give confidential advice to his minister, or resign his post and say publicly whatever he feels like saying.

Beyond that, the role of a public officer Is to- do the job assigned him and keep his mouth- closed. As for newspaper reporters. If they, know their jobs they will not ask officials to discuss matters of policy. 'A Man of Many Parts There has been a Doctor Turnir of Millbrook (a village in the Peterborough area) for 103 years "an esteemed and friendly household name" in Millbrook and North Cavan township, says the Peterborough Examiner. The first Doctor Turner came to Millbrook.

from Cork in Ireland in 1853 and practised there until his retirement in 1900 he moved to Victoria arid lived to be 93. His son Henry Allen Turner took over, his practice, played diligently the role of country physician until he retired in 1937. Thus, as the Examiner recalls, there was a Doctor Turner in Millbrook for the 84 years from 1853 to 1937, and for some years father and son practised together. The second Dr. Turner lived 19 years in busy retirement, died just the othr day at 88.

was, as paper says, "a man of many, parts" and it explains: had his own drug store on the village's main street and over It his own hospital where be delivered. 500 babies. ''He had an engineering bent. Because Cavan farmers had to come by buggy or sleigh to call the doctor he built his own rural telephone system In the township, and the Turner Telephone Company operated for many years. Because he approved of electric lighting before there was any hydro-electric power In Millbrook.

he built a plant to manufacture electricity by steam, which operated until the village got hydro. "He was active in the work of the Anglican Church, he was attached as medical officer the local mllltla, be was" coroner of Durham county, and in bis spare time he made excellent household', furniture In his workshop behind his office; and he repaired other people's Inboard motors when holidaying at his cottage on Stoney lake in the days of steam." The impact on a community of such a versatile man, and of so long-sustained a father-and-son professional continuity, is not to be calculated in words, What If Hens Grew Fur. The early history of the domesticated feathered birds that provide eggs for and fryers, roasters and fricassee is somewhat obscure. Perhaps they originated from wild fowl of the Mediterranean region; perhaps the first domesticated birds were bred in Asia. But however that may be a recent announcement that a scientist has developed a breed without feathers should stir good citizens to protest First of all this Is not the psychological time to make such a pronouncement; possibly in July or August a man would be more amenable to the thought But now with cold days and bitter north winds moaning in the chimney the thought of featherless hens somehow goes against the grain.

A hen without feathers would obviously be easier to prepare for the pot When a man is having fried chicken for a Summer noon meal it would save time if he did not have to plucky feathersr: But he wonders what would happen to the skin. Most men like the crisp, sweet skin of broilers and, fryers. And if a bird-did riot, have feathers, would it develop a tough outer covering? or fur? Before there is widespread adoption of this featherless-, hen. we hope poultrymen -will carefully consider all related factors, Notes and Comment.
