very signiﬁcant ﬁgures on our imports and exports. A glance at these will convince the most skepticalT and the most hide bound tariff reformer that our pur- chasers abroad are very much heavier than we can affor and that it would be suicidal to so remove or modi the barriers now existing as to encourage freer importation of goods. Note the comparative size of exports and imports of products of which we are supposed to haves surplus:

' Exports Agric. products . . . . . . $34,065,000 Agric products (not food) 2,522,121 Animal, etc. ........... 14,818,000 'l‘extiie . .. 2,727,000 (Ihemicirl . . . . . . 2,288,000 Iron and steel‘. .. . . . . . 9,408,000 Other ores 4,766,000 Non-metalic minerals . .. 4,316,000 Wood, paper, etc. . . . . . 30,080,000 Miscellaneous . .. 3,461,000 7,087,000

$106,537,000 $134,692,000

This adverse balance of over $28,000,000 added to $36,000,000 in M3)’; $50,000,000 in March and $65,000,000 in April rolls up a tremendous account against us and accounts for the depreciation of our dollar in the United States market. At "the same rate our impofts for the year would be $600,000,000 in excess of our exports. " Suppose we removed some more of our barriers and made it easier still t0 import goods from the United States! What then? In addition to our adverse trade balsmcr we have an interest debt of $25,000,000 annually, besides our loss of ten t0 ﬁf- teen per cent in exchange. This is a heavy load for eight or nine millions of people to carry and they can carry it only by producing more at home and buying less abroad.

There are prospects 0f a good crop this year. If we can hold our own market for ourselves; if we can so protect our industries as t0 build up our ma- nufacturing centres and so maintain, our markets, we can carry the load and eventually overcome the adverse balance and the losses through the deprecia- tion of our Canadian dollar. If, on the other hand, we get monkeying with the tariff for political effect we shall place our home markets and our home-pro- duction in a very undesirable condition.

Imports $21,903,000 9,483,000 7,202,000 31,633,000 4,041,000 26,332,000 6,068,000 15,662,000 5,400,000

AYTO REGULATIONS

Vehicle Law” approved by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council on 12th May, 1920, says: . W “No auto lamps shill] bc used or dis- played on any motor vehicle while being driven in this province, unless such lamps are protected by proper non-glare lenses, no motor vehicle shall be registered or op- erated in this province without being so .. equipped.” Notwithstanding the above regulation it is safe to say that more than 75 per cent of the autos driven on the streets of Charlottetown at night are without

' non. glare lenses. This was painfully apparent last

Saturday night when the streets and sidewalks were crowded with visitors, many 0f them strangers, who commented very freely 0n the objectionableness and the danger of the dazzling and blinding lights. Where are the police when this open violation is per- mitted night after night? The Motor Vehicle As- sociation should insist upon this regulation being carried out.

_ Section 46 of these regulations limits the speed 1n “any city, town or village to one mile in six min- nutes” and on country roads “where contiguous territory thereto is closely built up” to one mile in ﬁve minutes.

Section 73 however authorizes Charlottetown and Summerside to “enforce bye-laws and regula- tions not inconsistent with the said act or the regu- lations thereunder” and it appears that under the

-_ authority of this permissive decree the town of Sum-

merside has set the limit at seven miles, which is “inconsistent with the said act” and which naturally

It irvould be well, if possible, t0 harmonize the inconsistencies or wine some 0f them off.

The success of the Liberals in Nova Scotia in the recent election, while admittedly due primarily to the fact that the Murray government had a con- tinuously clean record and that there was no issue of political signiﬁcance before the people was un- doubtedly due very largely to their system of organi- zation throughout the province. Their opponents were not organized and the result of the election shows it. . ‘ ' “tVmlly

There is a lesson in this for other. provinces, our own included. During the last provincial election campaign no organized effort was put forth to it)- struct the people as to the political situation. The consequence was that the people were misled by the ‘most unscrupulous propaganda ever carried on in any province in Canada.

There had been no well founded complaint against the Arsenault government; everything was satis- factory but the organized propaganda carried the day and the result is as it; is today—indignation meetings and a demand for» the dismissal of those who so shamefully deceived the people. '
