Of course it does not follow because the Canadian Cotton lords and the representatives of the English Trade have failed to reach an amicable agreement As to representations to be made to the Imperial conference that nothing is to be accomplished at this conference in the of restoring to the English Cotton Industry that reasonable percentage of the Canadian Market for it enjoyed until it was shut out by the remark Able series of Tariff devices beginning with the Tariff increases and Wohinc on to the arbitrary blocking of the channels of Oracle he extra leu Al oilers in cot Ucil. The matter will now be carried further and it. May Well prove to be the test question of the conference. Involved it is the principle upon which the present Canadian government has rested its restrictive Tariff policies. Adherence to this principle by the government will Render impossible any satisfactory solution of the. Problem of How to provide that balance of Trade Between Canada and great Britain which it is now necessary to establish if the conference is not to fail. As is natural under present circumstances we find the most uncompromising assertion of the principle which underlies the present Canadian Tariff policy in the Tariff declarations of the Cotton Industry. Our government May not be All Wool and a Yard but it is a textile government through and through. It owes its election in great part to the Active and determined support Given by the textile companies and it has reciprocated by falling in wholly with the ideas of the Industry As to the measure and character of the Tariff Protection to which it was entitled. The Canadian textile journal recently Laid Clown a series of propositions dealing with the Tariff in relation to textiles. One of these propositions reads thus the tariffs on British goods cannot be lowered without injuring Domestic another is in these terms retail prices generally in Canada Are based on the Cost of primary production in Canada and no matter How High tariffs May be raised Over the present level retail prices for textiles . Lowered As Domestic production added a statement made at the recent annual meeting of the Dominion textile. Company by its president and general manager. F. G. Daniels Tariff is intended to preserve the. Home Market for the Canadian manufacturer for those . Is capable economically and to meet those higher costs that Are largely beyond his by Reading these three statements together an accurate1 idea Cau be gained of the principle upon which the Tariff is built and administered. It is the principle of exclusion. The govern ment decides upon such evidence As May seem sufficient to it that a certain Industry is entitled to a virtual monopoly of the Canadian Market. It puts into effect not a competitive that is. One which permits a measure of outside but one that is in effect prohibitive. Behind this Tariff Wall the iat ored Industry takes Possession of the Market. It operates on the basis of Cost plus profits. Included in its total Cost of production Are those higher costs referred to by or. Daniels which Are of course the result of operating under a system of High Protection. If by reason of larger production costs Are reduced the Industry is prepared to lower its prices once it is assured of the profits which Are regarded by it As a. Suitable Reward. This is the Point to which the protective theory has now developed. There was a time when it called Only for temporary assistance for infant industries then it was developed to the Point where permanent Protection was but Only to a degree which would equalize costs thus permitting Competition. Now we have the theory in full Flower. The consuming Public is to be turned Over to a particular Industry. This Industry is to be Given the monopoly of supplying their wants along certain lines. It the judge of the Quality the pattern and styles the Price to which the Public obliged it decide what profits it requires. It will make Sulci arrangements for increased efficiency in the interests of cheaper production As seems Good to it. Subject to All these conditions the people allowed to buy and Wear Cottons. There is just one More step to go and it is Odd that it has never debarred to the Cotton magnates that if the theory is sound it is bound to be taken one of these Days. If. Canadian people exist for the purpose of wearing Canadian made Cottons to the sup posed end that wealth will thus be created and work supplied Why not National inc the business and turn the profit in to the state the inevitable end of Protection As it is now tending is state socialism. The Imperial economic conference affords an Opportunity to the forces that Are in. Favor of wider markets and Freer Trade to Challenge the whole Concep Tion of Protection embodied in the principles defined by the leaders in the textile Industry. All the interests that have to find a Market abroad for their surplus production which includes All the primary and Many of the secondary producers Wottle be justified in seeing a Little red at this suave assertion that the Cotton Industry has the right to operate at a profit even though this May add to their burdens already too heavy to be borne. These interests Are seeking enlarged markets in other British countries they know that not Only can Frey not get these enlarged markets but they cannot hold the markets they have if they do not make it possible for British imports to come into the Canadian Market in larger volume. Kiis is not possible while Ottawa remains firmly attached to the policy of reserving Large sections of the Canadian Market for Home manufactures regardless of such matters As competitive prices. The disagreement Between the Cotton interests of Canada and great Britain raises this Issue sharply and. The Canadian government will have to decide anew where it stands. If it adheres to what has hitherto been one of its profoundest convictions the so far As Canada is concerned cannot but end in failure. Temperamental person.

Transcontinental service no better badge of inferiority could be attached to the govern ment railway system than the absence of a regular through service Between Eastern Canada and the Pacific coast. This has actually been the situation since june 12. It affects an essentially important service of the Canadian National and seriously affects thei reputation of that railway. It Means a definite deterioration of tie , transcontinental service while its competitor has its service by putting on an additional through train. When the Public understand what has been done and what it Means in degrading the Public owned railway there an insistent demand that the Situa Tion be corrected. Until june 12 there was a . Through service across the Conti nent. It was planned to run a special daily tourist train from Chicago to Winnipeg and on to Jasper and Vancouver. But this plan was not carried out and in order to accommodate those who would have used this service it was decided to hold the Continental limited twelve hours in Winnipeg so that those coming from Chicago on the. Regular train could cont sect with if. After advertising the Chicago service the . Had to get out of an awkward situation in some Way but tha holding up of the transcontinental service for twelve hours is an impossible Way of doing it. There is the same delay at Winnipeg in the East bound service. It Means that the . Really has no through service and virtually hands Over most of the through passenger traffic to the . It is an Amaz ing thing that such a situation should have been allowed to develop and to Drift for weeks with out statement. This is one of the economies that being adopted on the Canadian National. It is no econ omy to sacrifice one of important services of the railway to surrender the Field to its competitor and to Sully the reputation of the Canadian National which in the past has stood so High. The explanation is either that the management of the . Has lost its spirit and its ambition to maintain the Standard of the rail Way or else there has been in fluence brought to Bear on the management by the government to effect further economies regard less of the effect in impairing the service and relegating it to the definitely inferior position of a second class railway. The Progress and. High Standard of the Canadian National were recently a source of to the Canadian people. Admitting that economies had to be made what do the people think of the process of degrading that has been going on of which the dropping of the through service is just the latest example Fie heavyweight championship Jack Sharkey has become heavy Champion of the world by 4 decision which was described As three minutes after it As announce of and which will Ito Balv still be regarded As such years hence.

New faces for Manitoba s chamber the five new members of the Manitoba legislature representing Winnipeg and St. Boniface com prise a Good Cross Section of the current Canadian scene. Two Are lawyers one was a Soldier one a lumberman1 and the other a rail Way accountant. Two were born in great Britain India one in Russia and one in Ontario. Mixed Well they form the Tex Ture that is. Peculiarly Canadian. Ralph Maybank is a Young Law yer who conducts his practice in a Portage Avenue office the Walls of which contain sprightly pictures of the tall an Gular and inimitable Alfred. Jingle and the rotund or. Pickwick. Or. May Banc has a slight advantage Over All the other candidates but. One in thai he had a couple of years heavy training in that Peerless Hall of debate the City Hall. He is the Ontario born member of the group and was elected on the Liberal progressive ticket. He is Placid and As by the fact that he had to be wakened out of bed at three in the morning to be told he was elected. Hon. J. S. Mcdiarmid was also elected As a lib eral progressive. Or. Mcdiarmid. Is the other Mem Ber with experience of parliamentary practice behind him. In fact he has the most having served for nearly one year in the City Council As representative of Ward one then for four years in the Dominion House at Ottawa As a Liberal member for Winnipeg. Approached by Premier John Bracken he consented to join the fusion Liberal progressive party and was made minister of mines and natural resources. He was born in Scotland which nay account for the fact that the spaciousness of his present office mildly frets him. Too Many fancy pictures. Not enough maps. He would prefer a smaller room where a could see the maps without the Aid a Telescope. Less impressive perhaps but More business like. He is thoroughly seized with the responsibilities of his office and looks Forward with interest to. Administering the natural re sources of the province. General h. D. B. Ketch in c.b., c.m.g., is a conservative member. F o r Winnipeg. This is the first time he been part. Of a legislature or even aspired to be part of one. His life has been spent mainly in carrying out the orders of governments or their departments. He was born in Sha Lapore India. He joined the Royal North West mounted police in 1ss3, and has been in uniform almost constantly Ever since. During the late War he was several times decorated and mentioned in despatches. In 1929 he retired full of years and honors having served for thirty five years in the army. His concept of his new role of politician Given Blu Fly heartily is to do his duty by the country. Marcus Hyman is a representative of the inde pendent labor party. He a lawyer and has had a varied and colourful career. He was born in Russia but received most of his education . For some years he was Tutor to. The son of the gae War of Baroda. Being elected a Mem Ber of the Manitoba legislature was not quite so exciting for him As it might have been for several defeats in the other campaigns had somewhat dulled the Edge of expectation and Vic tory arrived somewhat belatedly. He. Comments a usedly on the fact that although he has been in Winnipeg eighteen years he has never once been inside the legis lature. Now he has a. Seat there. Fred Lawrence is the other new Independent la Bor party., Mem Ber of the legis lature. He represents St. Boniface and claims to be the Pioneer of the labor move ment in that part of Manitoba. He is an accountant in the Cana Dian National railway. Or. Law rence was born . This is his first time in Public although he has been interested in Trade unions for a number of years. He feels particularly proud and perhaps a Little overwhelmed at his Victory Over Bernier the former conservative representative for St. Boniface. As a matter of fact it is an open secret that the . Would have preferred to defeat almost anyone else in the House but the picturesque and Good natured Joe. He was almost As much of an institution there As or. Speaker himself. Or. Lawrence is married and lives in Norwood. He looks Forward with deep in Terest to assuming the responsibilities of his seat. These Are the five. The first perhaps a Liberal. Outlook leaning to the. Left. The second approaching the age when shining ideals have coated Over with the prosaic cast of practicality. The third a Blunt modern hotspur with ears More attuned to the. Rattle of musketry than the Clatter of dialectic. The fourth a descendant of a russian rabbi with the persecution . Blood modified by the suave accent of Oxford. The fifth Chap Wiio rather takes Pride in his Humble prob ably reads his labor weekly with stockinged feet comfortably on the fender and has a soft spot in his heart for Home despite his railings against this Pic Ture that will unroll itself in More individual outlines at the.

Editorial free press gladly gives publicity to colonel news letter complaint in the ate election the free press adhered ital Coly to its policy of giving impartial and full reports. The leaders of Bot i opposition parties have testified o the Success which attended its of Orts in this respect. By personal messages of congratulations and Hanks. The Only reflection upon the free press made during the past Campaign appears to have been made by colonel Webb in an address in St. James which was Lully in the free press. His letter colonel Webb says that he was incorrectly reported in the free press in the election Campaign of 1930 As having made references to the prime. Minister which be did not make nor even think of. The reference in presumably to the reports which appeared in the free Ress in which colonel Webb was credited with calling or. King a liar. According to the. Files of the Freo press at that time he Ainarde this statement at seven Sisters Falls july 7, 1930 Bowsman july 18 and at a Verendrye school july 23. As these reports were by its own re porters or correspondents the free Ress will have of take responsibility or them. If col. Webb had challenged their accuracy at the time the re ports would either have been Veri fied or they would have been corrected with due apologies. to be noted however that the report in the Tribune of the meeting in la Verendrye school corresponds on this Point with the report in the free press. As for the article in the free press to which Webb takes exception in his and Ripon which he comment. In a Public address in St. James attention is drawn to the fact that it was not a report by a member of the free press staff but was in the form of a statement by an elector in St. James to which it put his name. It was published in the free press in keep ing with its policy of opening its columns to the widest possible extent or the legitimate discussion of pub Lic questions.

This Man gave his name As Clark Roseberry Avenue St. James and credited me with statements he claimed i made in St. James Hall. No such foolish statements were Ever made. The subject he referred to was not even discussed and. I certainly never made the silly foolish implication that he suggested. I must say i feel very keenly that the free press endeavoured to give the publicity it did not so much in publish ing the Man s letter but using it in the form of news. I run my Campaign in As Simbola on As High a plane As Pps Sable with no reflections anyone wish to state that at the meeting in St James Hall on Friday night there were Many people present at the meeting to which your correspondent reporter or whoever he might be refers to and claims i made the statements and remarks he mentions.

With Canada just of the eve of its institution of a Dominion radio the Story is a. Heartening even an exciting one. Lord Siddell writes a foreword in which 3ie observes never since the world began has there been such an. Amazing Story. In the " Brief space of ten years the world has been transmogrified.

Promise of the new Day in radio Here is not Only one which extends Over the Dominion jut which projects Canada into the larger world. Sir Harry Brittain has earned the gratitude of those interested in the science and Art of radio with his Story of what has. Been done. Perhaps too the Story is a Van guard chapter in the tale of future where the Power of science is linked with the wings of Art and both in the service of Man not mammon. It is this goodly procession which Canada has joined. Light on the Cloud much the most original com ment that is Likely to be made about the Manitoba elections appears in the columns of the mail and chief Organ of the conservative parly. The Empire begins its comment by Are being put for Ward for the. Triumph of the e Bracken Fui Jion. Government Manitoba. Some of these reasons Are untenable Wilile others have a. Solid basis in fact. The Federal Liberal Organiza which is still powerful through out the province had. A Good Deal to do with the result arid it embraces a number of Federal civil servants whose activities require immediate attention from Ottawa. The candidature of or. Santa sri. Evans High minded Man As he is helped to induce a conservative de feat. He it was who left his. Party on the dispute and the Farmers have not forgiven him. He allowed to run As a Federal candidate in the., last Dominion elec Tion but the local conservatives were unwise enough to Send him. Campaigning throughout the pro Vince in the recent contest. His can and his. Activities in tale districts promoted or Bracken s Victory. Or. John t. Haig one of the leaders on the conservative Side was undoubtedly a weakness to the opposition for the simple reason that he was. Accused by the government of. Helping by word of Mouth to bring about the collapse of the government savings Bank and its acquisition by the chartered Banks. It. Is to he. Added that or. Haig s political history to the old Koblih government which was ousted from office ill .1915. Or. Haig himself had nothing to do with the misdeeds which brought about that collapse but after attacking his own party in caucus he. Became one of. Its most Loyal supporters in the Days of its Dishonour and disgrace. The. Conservatives moreover foolish enough., to put sir Rodmond the platform and to. Fun his son in one of the constituencies. This brings us1 Down to the chief cause of the defeat which the conservatives have suffered in Manitoba. That the 17 year old scandal involving the Rob Lin administration. It remembered that that government became involved of. Graft and Cor run Dion on a Large scale in connection with the erection of the new legislative buildings and the Winnipeg court the. Province turned on the ministry of that Day and hurled it from office. In the half generation that has elapsed since then the provincial conserva Tive party has shown Little sign of recovering its former strength. The. Reason for elaborate recalling of events and incidents that were not even mentioned during the election Campaign is revealed in the balance of the article. If the conservatives of Manitoba cannot recover from the sins of the Roblin government neither can the Liberal party of Ontario make against the record of the old Ross govern ment. By the same Token the do minion liberals Are barred for endless decades from office be cause of Beauharnois. The mail and Empire exclaims the corruption of the Roblin govern ment has banished the Manitoba conservatives from office for seventeen. Years and the corruption of the Ross government has shut out the Ontario liberals from office for Twenty seven years How Long will the much More heinous Beau Karnoil scandal inhibit the Mackenzie King liberals from return to Power at the mail and Empire is willing to lose a minnow to catch a whale. Let the conservative party suffer unending defeat in Manitoba it Only the conservatives can keep in Ontario and retain for themselves. Pali Tures f comments upon the mail s in genious face saving theory by colonel Taylor , or. Haig not to Overlook sir red mond , beyond doubt be enlightening and entertaining.
