Canada and Tariff policy the attitude of the government in regard to the possibility of the raising of the United states Tariff in a Way that would Limo mini pc tag in that country of Canadian natural ducts particularly products and lumber pro was stated by Premier King on tuesday. Such a statement has been asked for Fly the advocates of a red blooded policy of retaliation and the Public May now compare the two attitudes and judge As to which is really in the Best interests of this country. Or. Manion one of the conservative stalwarts had urged that if the tailed states Tariff were raised while parliament was in Sesmon the government should provide for a Sharp increase in the Tariff so As to our purchases of All kinds from the United and if parliament had adjourned he asked for special session to enact retaliatory Deal he said in a red blooded Canadian manner with their Tariff against later he advocated a Good red blooded Canadian or. Ladner of South Vancouver the adoption of a retaliatory policy and provision for the raising of the Canadian Tariff on and Industrial products on the Day Oil which would be that of the ener. 8ny increases affecting Canada became effective in the Getic promotion re Canadian Trade United he would have the government obtain Power from parliment to do this by order in Council if necessary. The speeches of these two members were typical of the attitude of the conservative party. As for the government Hon. J. A. Bobb in his buc intimated that it could not ignore anything that affected Canada s foreign Trade and he referred to the possible effects of the states Tariff because of. Their Hope Liat it May give them a great Opportunity. The adoption by the government of the attitude of the conservative party would in All probability make certain and probably greater the increases in the United states Tariff because of the ill feeling that would be created. And not Only would those increases be injurious to can Ada but the proposed Sharp in. Crease in the Canadian Tariff would also be very damaging to the West and to the maritime provinces. The waiting and restrained Atti tude of the government on the other hand and the Frank and respectful speech of Premier King May have some effect in holding tha hand of the United slates Congress. But the Tariff increases should b9 enacted and it became necessary for Canada to take action the most and could be fiscal lilies of other the government he said favored a Ion Tariff policy it endeavoured to encourage production at Home and the marketing of our surplus products abroad. And in applying this policy lie said both Domestic and inter nation Iii factors must of necessity be he Vas plainly alluding to the United states and suggesting not that the Tariff Mii lit be raised against the United states but that Tariff favors Iii the lie extended to other which we could a Stabli letter Trade connections. Hon. Ernest Lapoint on Hornby deprecated the talk of a red blooded policy is Likely u create ill feeling Between Canada and the United states and he said if it is necessary to modify certain Tariff schedules for the purpose of developing a larger Trade with nations which Are desirous of trading with us this May be done but Only in the Canadian interests and not at All As a result of a policy of with other countries. That would do no Section of the Dominion an injury and it might make up very largely for any further loss of the United states Market. I the people of Canada will recon speech size that the Poi cd that should be adopted is the one that is in the Best interest of the whole country and not one that is Best calculated to Aid the fortunes a. Political party. Manitoba s Case for compensation the Case for compensation Manitoba presented before 01 the Premier King has stated More clearly and definitely the Posi Tion of the government. He holds that it is better to do nothing whatever to disturb the Between the two countries to give the United states no excuse for adopting a Tariff unfavourable to this country and to wait and see what is actually done at Washington. At the same time he fully recognizes that if it is made More difficult for Canadian products to enter the United states. Canada will be compelled to take Active measures to extend our Trade other countries that Are willing to Trade with us. For the present he would not even increase the British preference because of the interpretation that might be placed upon that action in the United states. But next session he said we will Deal with the situation As we find it at that particular the Canadian press reports or. King in part is follows or. Xing took the ground that it would be unwise at the present time to take any action with respect to the Canadian Tariff which in Wirht be regarded As provocative by the people of the United states. It came to the working out of any International problem the Success or failure of the negotiations would depend More than anything else on the atmosphere of Trust and Between the Peoples interested. Think it is said or. King that with respect to the Tariff As with respect to everything else we should at All times seek to so conduct our discussions As not to create an atmosphere that is hostile but. As far As we can to preserve an atmosphere of Between this country and our neighbors to the South " Premier King s words will attract due notice in the United states and his restraint and his emphasis on the preservation of ill of Mcveen Lii two countries will undoubtedly command respect. The United states knows that it has a valuable Trade with Canada and it must know the desirability for that and other reasons of maintaining very cordial relations with this country. While ill. King takes a restrained and conciliatory attitude he does not put Canada in the position of a mendicant or As or. Ladner suggested in his speech. To spoke rather in Friendly but dignified manner and he intimated dearly but without possibility of offence that Canada would take Fine measures in her own interest if the United states Market were further restricted to her producers. Commission appointed to Deal with the resources question which can not be successfully resisted if the Dominion government adheres to its engagement to place Manitoba in a position of Equality with the other provinces of confederation with respect to the administration and control of its natural resources As from its Entrance into con federation in 1s70." the Effort o the Dominion counsel to make it appear that Manitoba has no sound Case for compensation for the Aliena Tion of its lands by the Dominion since if the Manitoba government had had them in her Possession she would have showed no greater wis Dom in their disposition than the Dominion is ingenious but Noi conclusive. No one can say How near or far from the truth this statement is but in any event there nothing valid about the argument a trustee asked for an accounting can hardly escape responsibility with such a plea. It is pretty evident that Manitoba had she been in Possession of her Public lands would not have Given Over three million acres of land to help build the Canadian Pacific rail that the government s attitude is approved by the Prairie provinces is indicated by the speeches of the Western members. J. L. Brown of Lisgar said that Tariff War could Only result in injury to both sides and he opposed the principle of increased tariffs on farm produce As a Means of maintaining the Prosperity of the Farmer. Relief must be sought along other lines said. Var. Just seek it by reducing rather than by increasing what a blockade weans in spite of or. Bernier a Promise that so Long As water ran and grass grew he would protest against some thing or other and Block the blockade stopped Short yesterday with no More reason than it had for starting. It cannot be exhaustion for or. Bernier was present and at one time threatened jauntily to make a speech. It May be that colonel Taylor had a change of heart but if that is so the threats of his cohorts to keep on talking until Snow flies have Only made him ridiculous. It May be Only a truce for the purpose of passing a veto for the members indemnities but this is an unworthy thought entertained Only for the Sake of expelling it. Let us Hope the truce lasts for it is said to Cost a Clay to keep the House going. Many rumours Are afloat including a report that the blockade will be Gin again when the departmental estimates Are reached. Another is that the rules will be revised under closure to Force through estimates with the Aid of the Guillotine or to permit continuous session until All the High powered six Cylinder Long distance speakers in Hie House have been taken to the Hospital suffering from paralysis of the Throat. Whatever the reason for the change after half a hour of or. Laughlin the filibuster came at least temporarily to an end and the members joyfully passed their own salaries and a lot of other people s As Well. About of Supply was voted. There remains about seven millions to be passed. The Day was quiet and uneventful. Uneventful for the moment we had forgotten our old friends or. Ivena and or. Bachynsky on the j subject of women. It began quietly enough with an interchange of Muddy thinking Between or. Haig and or. Ivens on the subject of whether or not women should get the same salaries As men for Simi Lar work. It remained for the great mind of or. Bachusky to raise the question from the Dull level of a debate on a stenographer s salary to the refined atmosphere of general principle. Women or. Bachynsky declared were inferior to men. The member for Fisher is no woman hater. He hastened to explain that. But honesty compelled him to say what was on his heart. Women were inferior to men. Moreover he shuddered to think of the delicate Flower of womanhood e430 into work 10.30 of me or. Bans up time 8penf 5% words spoken none.

Glen of Marquette was also against a Tariff War with All its attendant dangers suspicion and he said the United states do not wish to Trade with us there is no other course for us to follow but to seek the markets of the world and preferably of course the British c. R. Mclntosh of North Battleford also believed that the principle of retaliation in tariffs was a false one. Of sir Herbert Holt president of the Royal Bank a Man of known protectionist views in regard to the necessity Oil oking to other. Markets was quoted during the debate and it s of interest. In his last annual statement to the Bank share holders he said if further handicaps Are placed on the exports of Canada to the states it will be imperative for canadians to seek More Favorale National interest but it was not at All necessary to the opening up and development of Manitoba in a purely material sense. So keen were the . Roads to come into Manitoba and Supply railway service at no Cost to the province that the do minion government had not Only formally to forbid their Entrance but it had to resort to an arbitrary use of the Federal Power of veto to keep them out. These being the conditions it has always been some thing of an affliction to Manitoban to be told that they ought to be profoundly grateful to the. East for providing at vast Cost a railway without which this land would have remained a wilderness. This incident of the despoiling of the lands of the province for the furthering of railway building which should have been a Federal charge is just an illustration of the manner in which the Dominion government in its capacity of self appointed trustee administered the estate of the province. There is a Clear Case for reparations and amends and there is fortunately no need for any apprehension that the province s claims will not get full consideration from the commission which has to Render judgment in the matter. The opinion aes w e my Trade agreements with other nations and to change the present relation ship b granting Taip by the application of measures for our Proie Nuu. It May be necessary to meet this situation by direct Tariff and granting further preference to great Britain and to most favored sir Herbert not suggest the immediate application of retaliatory Fai Iff legislation but. Rather the More Active cultivation of other Market he went on to say that he was not suggest Fig exorbitant tariffs nor tariffs that would increase the Cost of living in the conservative party would make an Appeal to Canadian Pride and wests that the self respect of this country is at stake. To is that if a wave of retaliatory sentiment could be up. The great objective of boosting the Tariff could be a attained and once up it would be Likely to stay up. The so of indirect Means in the Effort to elevate the Tariff is a practice of the High protectionists.

His thought is not left undigested by others. Among them lady Oxford Margot Asquith con tributes a few Sharp reflections. Many May agree with her and May disagree but what she say at Kast gives food for thought. Lady Oxford lists at an he has either lived a very Long time out of this country or a very Short time anywhere if he thinks the majority of people eat too Little.

Four meals a meat consumed at All except afternoon be healthy for any stomach and it is the More surprising that the eng. Lish should eat so much because the cooking is the worst in tha world. You have Only to attend tha monotonous meals in every Nursery to see children from an Early age urged to eat paps and pulps which they do not care for and cannot digest. The fact thai a child does not like what it is asked to eat promotes acidity and discourages appetite and the nurse is yet to a found that will let a child eat what it enjoys.
