There is a cause. Canadians have been watching for several years past the doings of the Government at Ottawa. and it is not too much to say that a general opinion is grow- ing; that things are not all right at Ottawa. The fiscal policy upon which the trade of Canada mainly depends has been manipulated through hands other than those of the Government.

Some time ago a Tariff Advisory Board was appointed to investigate the whole question of Customs du- ties, and to advise the Government.

At the very outset the partisan nature and purpose of this Advisory Board was clearly shown. One of

about the 15th of July. The execu- tive instance a case which occurred at Borden recently in which three respectable women returning to Charlottetown from a pilgrimage to St. Anne de Beaupre had their hand baggage confiscated, but which was returned several days afterward with or without apologies. The con- fiscation took place in the presence of scores of passengers en route to [the Island. The effect upon in- ‘tending visitors may well be imag- ined.

the members appointed had ex-l

pressed some views which were con- trary to the line which the Govern- ment had purposed following. He was immediately displaced. The Tariff Advisory Board has been. functioning for some time, and it has become very evident that its purpose is to safeguard the Govern- ment rather than the country. The sessions of this Board have been at- tended by a so-called representative of a so-called Consumers‘ Leagues. league which never existed, and which was the product of a political move. The Consumers’ League gave very many reasons why certain du- ties should be imposed, and why certain other duties should be re-

duced. The League represented no- body but the political manipulators who were behind it; its advice to

the Government was therefore one- sided and partisan. In other lines the Government has shown its hand notably in the Immigration Depart-

ment, which now it appears is domi'n- ‘

ated by a labor organization. The

l OME of the smaller Liberal news- i papers. because they have no jother answer to give, profess to rc- lgard as “silly" the question asked ‘by the Hon. R. B. Bennett, “what iport is Mr. King steering for? If he imeans Canadian independence, let ihim say so."

i The Toronto Globe, the leading Liberal newspaper in Canada, re- lgards the question as a very serious

lone. This is the way The Globe

puts it:-

“The Prime Minister canot afford to ignore the direct challenge thrown down by Mr. Bennett at Oshawa on

. Saturday."

i, This question has gone ringing I

l

round the news cables of the world.

To ignore it, or merely to accept lthc obvious opportunity of flinging ‘ back the demand for a similar state- ,mcnt by Mr. Bennett, would be to {add to the dangerous misconcep- ibl0llS b11111’; already exist abroad as

"The columns I chose at random. except that I felt it fair thatpne of them should consist of names be- ginning with ‘M’ and another of names beginning with ‘O.’ The re- sult was that I got the following totals of names arranged under the head of race:- Welsh Irish.

HINDRANCE TO TOURISTS.

IN Monday's Guardian we publish- ed an interview with the execu- tdlive of the Prince Edward Island Publicity Association. In this the Association expressed discourage- ment with their efforts so far this season. The beginning of the sea- son opened auspiciously. Towards the middle of July a distinct falling of! occurred, this the executive at- tribute to certain regulations and restrictions im i upon passen- Iorl curling to the Province. The ' executive is composed of leading cltllenl as follows: llr. Justice A. nault, President; fir. H. C. Brown. Mr. S. A. Mc- Leod, Mr. Jae. MacMillan, Mr. R. L. Ootton.

for this country. We are always able to save our crops.

i é The mote and the beam incident , is vividly recalled when the so-call- led prohibition provinces tell us of the drunkenness prevailing in the Government Control provinces. Crit- icism, like charity, should begin at home. The Government Control |provinces are quite satisfied with the law they have and none of them has yet given any indication of a desire to change. The question did not come up in the British Colum- bia election.

Apparently the only department of the Provincial Government that is doing anything is that of the Public Works, and the less it does of the kind of work it is doing now, ‘especially on the roads, the better iit would be for the country. There has never before been so much complaint about the roads. and nev- er so much cause for complaint. The department should either function or get somebody who knows what the roads need.

According to a bulletin issued by the Canadian Pacific Railway, P. E. Island controls only three per cent. of the proceeds from furs, New Brunswick two per cent, and Nova Scotia one per cent. The total value of furs produced in Canada for the year 1926-27 was $18,833,977 as compared with $15,072,244 in the previous year. These values com- prise the receipts from fur-bearing animals taken by trappers and those rolled on fur farms, the latter as yet representing but a small per- centage. but steadily increasing in proportion.

we sometimes unguardedly call Eng- lish policy and English achievement. You cannot distinguish England in the nineteenth century from Britain in the nineteenth century. With the English gifts have been blended tile characteristics of the Scotch, the Irish and the Welsh.

"Another point worth notice is that, when we take relative popula- tions in account, Wales about holds her own in eminence. She has roughly one-seventeenth of the population of England and about the same proportion of names signi- ficant in our history during the nineteenth century. Ireland, which roughly has a population equal to One-eishth of that of England, comes out in one of my lists with lier due share of eminence and in the other list with a much larger pro- portion.

"But Scotland, the population of which is roughly one-eighth of that of England, does even better. Arith- 11195101111)’. 1H PTODOrtion to popula- tion, we should have expected her to produce about twenty eminent names in each of my lists. Actually, she gets 3i in one list and 43 in the other. There is no mistaking the significance of the Irish and Scot- tish contribution to the energy and distinction of British enterprise and culture during the nineteenth cen- tury."
