The general Post inn Don krwt., for through the malls in the ill Tafth at Inland Revenue rata. Canadians should do the developing Duquette of Montreal who recently toured the West e of the party organized by the Montreal University has easterners of the very favourable impressions he cd of this part of the country. My general impression of Al West he says is that it is Host interesting and full of i abilities for the future. I refer to the great Prairies to the and to the attractions for he had noted also Oto Wess of higher education in the West particularly the of the universities of Saskatchewan Alberta and British ,.0.nmbia which have been established Only a comparatively few oars and the financial support for higher education provided by he governments of All the Western provinces. The enormous extent of this part of the and is of great possibilities in the Way of varied development having been Melv brought Home to mayor Duquette he sees very our great problem is that of new population. And then As a Good Canadian he says that it is a very great pity if canadians theme ves Are not. To have the largest possible share m build my up populating this splendid country. If some of the people Joste i Stern Canada he says they should by All Means be directed to these Western provinces rather than be allowed to left to the United states while outsiders come in Here to take or places and develop and possess this land of Opportunity. he would also be in favor of such conditions m the West As would help the settlers to succeed and prevent then leaving for the United states. The first hand knowledge which mayor Duquette gained of the West and his insight into its problems Are a Good example of the Benefit of the habit which canadians Are cultivating fairly Well of visiting other parts of the country than those in win he they live and understanding their conditions their difficulties and their possibilities. A of Reat Deal depends upon All thoughtful canadians recon train was. The fact that of a single Winnipeg Industry had stand in the manufacturers Sec Ion of the Canadian Pavilion. There is a great Deal to be said in Avor of the tour of an exhibition rain in Britain certainly enough to warrant the closest examination into he prospects of organizing such a reject on a basis commensurate Voth Canadian Industrial develop ment. Despite the tirades of or. Queen on a recent occasion Cana Ian Industry is still functioning and s turning out High class products. F the1 train would show agricultural and other natural products As Well to value would be even More great y enhanced. Rightly handled it might be first class immigration propaganda. The. Winnipeg Board of Rade is understood to be looking nto the proposal and one would say hat it merits careful consideration. Nimg that not Only is their country a political federation but also economically a linking up of a number of entirely different sections with distinct characteristics and interests Geo v separated and not naturally drawn together. From that Point of View it is a , the parts of which do not always pull together As has been plainly seen of ate when canadians think of their great and spacious country must keep in mind the difficulty in the Way of National Unity that is bound to exist for a Long time because of the divergent it rests of different sections of the country it is in order to counteract this that it is so necessary for canadians to see and know their own of it or As much As they Are that they May have a sympathetic understanding of conditions in other parts and use their influence to strengthen the National Bonds. Every Agency that encourages this is to be commended and the Mutual Exchange of visits Between East and West should do More than almost anything else to spread this knowledge and strengthen the ties that bind the Canadian people together. The next governor general the London Dally express picks Earl Beatty. Admiral of the British Fleet As the Best Choice for Canada s next governor general. It. Note s that is term at the admiralty expires next year at about the same time As lord Byng s term and it says that appointment would be acceptable to canadians because of his natural temperament and his Radiant personality. While his Luffness would by no Means be displeasing to this country. The desirability of Earl Beatty s appointment from the Point of View of the British government Accord ing to the daily express lies in the fact that the govenor general is practically an ambassador of great Britain to the Canadian people and the atmosphere surrounding the re lations Between Canada and great Britain Are peculiarly difficult just now. The tangle of european commitments has tended to throw Canada into the diplomatic orbit of the United states which is resolutely determined to keep out of Admiral Beatty s splendid record Iii uie Vii and his pleasing personality would doubtless make him very popular in Canada but the express seems to rather exaggerate the in fluence which he might exert As a diplomatic agent of great Britain. Id spite of his personal prestige and of the fact that he would he warmly welcomed wherever he went canadians would be very Likely to decide in their own Way and Lor the reasons that seemed Best to them just what their attitude would be in regard to inter Imperial arid foreign the express suggests that in the Choice o the new governor general u Sre should be a particular intent on the part of the British govern ment the latter however might the take the View that the main thing was to meet the wishes of Canada just As far As possible in regard to the appointment. In prac Tice the British government does name a governor general now without ascertaining that the appointment is satisfactory to tie do Pinion. The Canadian government seems lately to have gone even far ter and to have practically invited Lenl Byng to remain for a second term. It would be a natural develop sent if time the actual Choice of governor general passed to the Nadian. Government it would be keeping with the constitutional trend of recent years. Well passed up by the poets and Al most entirely ignored by the Ora tors.

In the meanwhile Canada s Gran Ary of the world is coming on. Now someone is suggesting that Ranee pay her War debts by Selling her colonies. The question arises does anyone want the colonies Mso what have the colonials to say about it the miners and mine operators Parley in Atlantic City has broken up and a strike is in sight. The rupture will be Laid by some people to the 18th amendment. You will recall that when the British Parley was in danger of breaking up they sent out for scotch and soda and peace reigned thereafter. Perhaps they might adjourn the conference to Hull. Plots a plot has just been discovered to Mui Der the president of Czecho Slovakia. This is a very interesting item. It shows that the Balkans Are living up to their reputation As the murder Belt of Europe and. Doing their utmost in time honoured bal Kan fashion to shatter what the retired prime peace of the up Swinnes estate special writers and ministers Call the it is a Safe bet that not one Man in Twenty knows where Czecho Slovakia is and that not one Man in. A Hundred knows who the presi Dent is and that nobody at All can spell it the first time of asking or the president s name either should the speller happen to know it. But despite All this solid and concentrated ignorance on the subject of Czecho Slovakia its importance is not thereby in. The. Least de Gree. It. Is one of those places of which you can go through life in Happy ignorance and then one dark night it jumps Down on your neck like a Wildcat from a tree Branch and you immediately Wake. Up to its presence and become closely acquainted. Take for example Bosnia. What Good Canadian citizen Hoot about Bosnia up to the Middle of 1914? none. Did the people of Winnipeg and Indian head and Jackfish and Moosomin spend even a. Moment of their time discussing. The Griefs and complaints of Bosnia Why no if you had mentioned Bosnia in those Good Days even lots of our Best people would have thought it was a. Kind of vegetable which went very Well with carrots when boiled in soup. Bosnia Why we did t even know there was a Bosnia let alone that it had Griefs. But one Fine summer Day an irritated bosnian brooding of Bosnia s pulled out a gun and shot an Archduke and then we All woke up to Little Bosnia and Little Serbia and Little Bulgaria and All those other Little centres in South East Europe and the lads from Mooso Man and Indian head and Winnipeg from the Boston transcript Purchase by american and English Bankers of an important perhaps a controlling interest in one of Thev Basic properties of the Stinnes estate has been confirmed today in new York. There is drama Here. Two years ago the popular imagination both in the United Aratee and abroad had been trained to regard As All pow Erful the immense Industrial Chain which Hugo Stinnes forged by bold rapid strokes after the War inter Locking Coal mines Mills ship Ping companies Power plants and countless other enterprises i a vast and., apparently . Yet now Little More than a year after death Many links of the Chain Are being broken asunder Al most As rapidly As they were welded together. And american and British capital has bought a Large share in the Deutsche Luxemburg Ische mines of the Early strongholds of the Fortune of Stinnes who proclaimed in 1920. Not an american cent not a British Penny not a Swiss centimes nor a dutch Guilder shall be invested in the. Heart of the fatherland s in it is not any weakness of the Stin us properties themselves which has led to the liquidation now being con ducted by the German Bankers who have set up what is moral receivership for the. Stinnes heirs. The properties themselves Are Lor the most part sound. Some of them Are among., the soundest in Germany. The trouble seems to have come Crom the which Stinnes gathered them.into1 his All pervading Possession. It cannot be said that his interests grew in Accord with the moral Laws of Industrial and Commer Cial expansion. Rather the successive mergers and purchases were Primar ily the result the prophetic Genius and immediate executive Force Hugo Stinnes predicated Ona All essential wit the decline of the Mark. During the Ner Iod of inflation the magnate kept himself and his. Companies at Uil times one Long Ston ahead of the actual course of the Nark depreciation and consequently he was always free of. Active financial embarrassment often he did not really pay for properties at the time Purchase but postponed payment until the next fall Mark would Moke the real Price a fraction of its former size. In Short he courted debt and by debt prospered. But when the k basis was restored and woe re established upon hard workaday the. Up. Maturing obligations could not be met less than their full economic value and thus the Stinnes heirs have Tourno themselves Short of with embarrassments multiplying Al an alarming rate. Today Bankers in who Fol Low German Industrial affairs Fine their curiosity centred chiefly on the question far will the Liquida Tion go and How great will be the the essential aim those responsible for the estate is believed to be to. Dispose first of the heterogeneous properties. Hope to reduce the. Estates to As much compactness and Unity As possible bringing it Back if they can principles upon Stinnes fins built at the outset of his career to wit a combination Only of interdependent industries such As the Coa mines and steel Mills. And to this end it is said in Berlin that the Capi Tal now provided by american Finan Ciers is a helpful Protection Supply ing funds urgently needed to Preven a general even so it seems still More significant that the american Syndicate has not bought and of the Remote subsidiaries but Rathe one of the Basic and most important properties the Deutsche Luxen Burgl sche mines. The Transfer o such an equity As this suggests ultimate financial and economic consequences of an International a Tracte almost As striking change o the Stinnes Fortune within Germany itself. But the time is yet come for prophecy. Consider the cow it the cow of existence the purple Hue of writer was in worthy of investigation a proposal is on foot to operate in the near future in great Britain a Canadian exhibition train largely on the same basis As the exhibition train that was sent through France a couple of years ago. The French tour was highly successful from every Point of View. Not merely were Canadian manufactures shown and business connections established but a great Deal of information As to Canada and Canadian conditions was Given out which May have far reaching results. The proposal operate a similar train in the British Isles should be productive of even More striking results. Despite the crowds which have thronged the Canadian Pavilion at Wembley during the past two Summers there Are millions of peo ple in Britain to whom Canada is. or less Terra incognito. By no Means every line of manufacture was represented at Wembley indeed an outstanding feature which. And the Dauphin went off across the Wildcat had jumped out _. Of the night and its claws dug deep. So they Are still cooking up assassinations in the Balkans and another news item states that bul Garia is doing its utmost to capture the Garnce still goes its murderers. On.

Toronto general trusts corporation Winnipeg John. Open letter no. 14 it. To if. W. L. Mackenzie King prime minister and president of the privy Council Ottawa. Dear sir i once heard of a cab Driver who thought he could economize by cutting Down on his horse s feed after malting the first cat that the horse could still work he figured it would be Safe to make a second. Getting by with Tutt too he decided to try third. But the third proved disastrous the horse became so weak it could do no work at All. And though begrudgingly restored it to a full diet again he had to quit business for a time waiting for his horse to recover. When from a. Desire to enable our people to economize to u Start the process of scaling Down customs duties on manufactured goods you Are committing yourself to a course that is fraught with great danger. Strong healthy industries will serve the country far better than industries whose strength you unintentionally impair. Like the cab Driver s horse they Are capable of greater Effort and More prolonged Effort than when shed and in their Case that Means a larger output More materials at prices and More labor employed at Good wages. But carry the process far enough and inevitably you will make a Cut that will serve As the proverbial last Straw to break some industries Down and Force them to close. It is that last Cut that constitutes the difference Between a protective Tariff and a Revenue Tariff. Whether it be a five per cent Cut from 20 to is or Only a two per cent Cut from to to 8 and when an Industry is in the last stages of weakness a two per cent Cut May prove just As fatal As a bigger the saving to Canadian Consumers is negligible. But to Canadian workers in that Industry it makes All the difference Between employment and unemployment to retailers in the towns where the individual Are situated it makes All the difference Between Good times and bad times to neighbouring Farmers it Means a restricted Market to other manufacturers who have been Selling them materials and supplies it reduced sales and to the that have been serving them it Means no raw material to haul. Now Canada has to have some sort of Tariff in any event As a meant of raising Revenue. So the Price she pays Tor Protection with All the incidental benefits Tut mentioned is not the fall amount of her Tariff Bat Only the extra 2 or 5 per cent needed to keep her industries functioning. If the purpose of your experiments were to determine for each of Industry the exact Point in Tariff reduction where the element of Protection finally disappeared leaving Only the element of Revenue i am prepared to coach tit that they might have some scientific value As indicating danger spots to be kept it far at possible Tway from for All future time. But if your real and Only object it to enable people to economize. I submit there Are ways you can help them better than by a starvation dial for tit Padua tries upon whose proper functioning Many of livelihood respectfully Scott Block Winnipeg.
