But any comparisons of this sort must take into account the differences between the situation in these countries and here, as well as the limited role that subsidies ¢an play, if they are not themselves to become a far greater evil than the evils they are intended to avert Under the Canadian ceiling plan, wages and salaris e directly tied to the cost of living index They are frozen as long as the index is frozen, but are permitted to rise if the index rises. Canada has therefore found thus far that it is cheaper to keep the index itself from rising by subsidizing special NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. so force up wages. Another use of subsidies, which has already been employed here as well as in Great | Britain and Canada, is to stimulate production. This applies to the sort of subsidy that has been paid here to obtain larger supplies of copper, lead and zine. If it is desired, for example, to keep a ceiling price of 12 cents on copper, while it is found that small high-cost mines cannot afford to produce cop- per for less than 17 cents, then it may be considered cheaper to pay a subsidy to these high-cost mines to produce the added copper without raising the price to all consumers. | tion costs can be kept from going up as much as | they otherwise might. Still a third possible use of | subsidies is to lower the price of such necessities ‘u bread and milk to low-income families.

In contrast with the experiences in other coun- tries, mortality from tuberculosis in the United States has continued to decline in the face of war- time hardships such as longer working days, crowd- ed living conditions and curtailment of various foods along with higher prices. But this is no reason to be lax.
