Premier K ingfls Ultimatum

Ari unnecessary convention for the selection of candidates to contest Qlleflfi County has been called b,v the Liberal executive at Charlotte- town. According to the Patriot. it is for Premier Mackenzie Kling to decide "who the man shall be that will be associated with him around the Council board." Consequently Li he wants a particular friend and favorite in his Cabinet, he has the

well-known." They are. There is no difference between them and the re. markable fiscal ideas which made up the National Policy of Macdonald, a policy which contributed more than any other one thing to the progress and development of Canada. The Macdonald policy was not “based up- 0n the principle of trade exclusion,“ and the Bennett policy is not. But this kind of wilful misrepresentation has been characteristic oi all Liberal campaigns in recent years and, ap-

rigbt to dictate to any constituencyl parently. it is to serve its purpose in

whom their resprcsentative orvrepre- aentatives shall be. Unfortunately for the freedom and independence oi the Liberal delegates. Premier Mackenzie King has fixed upon Queen's Coun- ty as a constituency on which he can practice his Mussolini proclivit- tes. it has been decided by Premier Mackenzie King that the Liberals of Queen's County shall select as one oi their candidates Dr. Cyrus Mac- millan of McGill University; and. oi course. u M'r, P.

The [Vational Policy

"We are all proud to belong to a party with a policy. Not a make- shift, not a make-believe. not a. vote- catching policy. but a. real policy’; a policy that was born when Canada was born; a policy that was laid down by the makers of Canada; a policy that has done everything to build up the Canada of today; r. policy that will do everything to

Even were there any opposition to the candidate designated by the "power that is" at Ottawa, the pro- posers would immediately be toldby the executive that any man who dared to oppose this nominee would be ostracized by the Prime Minister

"It is said that the Liberals have stolen our policy, They haven't stol- en it. We have it yet; and we shall implement it after the election!"— Hon. J. D, Stewart, K. C., at Tuesday's Conservative convention at George- town.

Commenting on the recent press

and his Government.

It 15 a Very humiliating P0531011; clergymen have made a memorial to

for the Liberal delegates at today's: the premm- of gm“, Britain 35k. convention. Premier Mackenzie Kingi l is treating them in the same way

that Premier Lea treated the farm-ll ers with regard to taxation. They‘ have to take. their candidates in the: same manner as children are dosed: with castor Oll. Democracy has come to a pretty pass in these days of ‘ Mackenzie King Liberalism when. qovaizumant is administered from the I cupola‘ down instead oi from the‘ basement up. With all due deference

to the opinion of the Liberal organ“ we do not think the Prime Minister». has an unrestricted right. to say whom

he shall select to sit with him around ‘ the Government table. His right is confined to the men whom the free and independent electors choose as their candidates and return as their members in the House of Commons.

The Safest Plan

ivrrmy are the comments heard by the Conservative candidates on the topsy-tuny tariff tactics of the Mackenzie King Government. Hon.

J. D. Stewart related one at the Georgetown convention. It was told by an old gentleman in Queen's

County, a former staunch Liberal but a stauncher believer in political con- sistency and sincerity. "The Liber- als," he said, "have brokendn and robbed the Conservative nest and stolen the Conservative eggs. But I think, after all, that those eggs can be better hatched by the auld hen that laid them."

Western Campaign Provender

The Manitoba. Free Press makes the bold statement that the King Government's leading concern is to stimulate Canada's export business. particularly with Great Britain. The Dunning tariff. as the Montreal Ga.- zetter points out. accomplished noth- ing whatever in that direction, while it does encourage an exactly oppo-

announcement that 102 American

"America is awfully interested in India because it thinks it could run it better than we do. One might note, however. that strange as the proceedings in India may seem to the American mind, it. has never yet been recorded that any English officer, soldier or other resident nas ever iymfri-a‘. a r532 for any alleged crime.

"Let these soft-hearted diviries start a crusade into Alabama, Tex- as. Arkansas and contiguous points and look into the situation of their owri colored population. There was a rather beastly lynching only last week."

An Ostrich Egg? r

Discussing the King Govern- ment's. failure to implement the rec- ommendations oi the Duncan Com- mission for readjustment of the sub-

~ sidy claims of the Maritime Prov-

inces, Dr. W. J. MacMillan, at the Georgetown convention on Tuesday, referred to the extraordinary state- ment of Hon. Charles Stewart. Min- istcr of the Interior. that if and when the Maritirnes presented any claims the‘ Government would be pre- pared to consider them. “Where,"_ asked a gentleman in tho audience. “was Mr. Leas pamphlet?" "Oh. they don't know yet what kind oi an ‘egg that is going to be." Dr. MacMillan replied while the audience roared with laughter. "It is still hatching."

Editorial Notes

British schoolmasters back from a trip through Canada have been seiz- ed with an idea not of their own con- ception. They suggest that British boys, looking to careers overseas. should complete their education of a Canadian university-an excellent way of bringing youth into proper re- lationship with the psychology and conditions of the Dominion. But.

As to the Conservative policy, the m»: Press states that Mr. Bennett's

more people to get outdoors and to see more of the world in shorter time. and in their enthusiasm over this. new development, and in the natural, delight in being out in the open iti is very posible that the home in many cases suiiers.

Thisdoes not justify, however, ex- travagant statements or condemna- tioris of youth. If there is anything in the laws of heredity or oi envir- onment what the young people pos- sess today in the way oi a roving or carefree disposition is directly trace- able to what their parents are or to what their parents have done. It is useless for the older generation to attempt to shirk their responsibility in this respect and presume that some new spirit has entered into the younger generation not known to their fathers or their forefathers.

All progress is due to shaking off the trainmels of the past and em- barking on unknown seas. as illus- trated in the great navigators and ex- plorers and in the lives of hundreds oi Englishmen who have gone into the farthest corners of the earth to plant the seeds of law and justice and “orderly government.

The other day in Brooklyn. two men were arrested for speeding in buggies. An astonished motorcycle policeman saw two old-fashioned horse-drawn buggies coming down the street at a terrific clip. As they shot past him he ordered the driv- ers to stop. They refused, and he had to chase them. Taken to court. the men said they had made a. bet as to who could drive a. horse the fast- est. It had never occurred to them that they might break the speed lim-

It is not often. these days. that the driver of a horse gets arrested for speeding.

Our faith in freedom is based on the belief that every human soul has its own sovereign rights-rights that are not merely granted by so- ciety but are an essential of the hu- man character. Since society is no-

'thing apart from the men and wom-

"That there should be any level crossing on the Toronto-Montreal highway is a difficult thirg to explain It is even more difficult to explain how it could be that the protecting gates at one of these crossings should have been out oi commission for twelve days.

Had the gates been operating it is possible that they might not have prevented the fatality in which six pcrsozt‘: met death near Ooburg on Sunday.

0n the other hand, it is possible that had the gates been down the accident would not have occurred. The striped arms of the gates offer the wai-ning a motorist expects at a crossing and are more effective than even a man with a lantern.

It is explained that a. truck had broken the gates on May 13th, and that to effect the necessary repairs it was necessary to procure a casting.

‘Vancouver from the 'Antipodea is

which is_ being rushed over to this country in large quantities in Order to have as much placed in Canada ‘as possible before the abrogation of |tlie Canadian treaty with New Zea. ‘land bemmes effective on October . 12." I And what is happening on the Pacific coast is happening on the :Atla.ntic ooast- the nni-kets of Can- lada ‘are being flooded with New Iceland butter in this race against the time Wlien the Canadian order- in-ooiincil, extending the operations of the Australian Treaty to New Zealand, will be abrogated.

The Australian trade agreement vria negotiated in 1924 and ratified by the Canadian Parliament in 1925. Very shortly after. the Canadian GOVBPIHEHl- Placed an anti-dumping {duty on Australian butt/er equal to ‘the cXmrt bounty paid on that pro- duct by the Australian Goverment. But having done this, the Canadian Goverment, through one of those curious processm of reasoning of which it alone seems capable. im- mediotelyt extended the provisions of ‘the Australian Treaty, by Qjdef-ln- council, to New Zealand! And t-hen the trouble began. New Zealand butter commenced to flood the Can. adian market and has continual-rm do so. '

Despite nation-wide protests from Canadian farmers _ and dali-ymen, film Kl"! Goverment has stubbornly ‘refused to recedc from its position '2l'ld has continued an impossible course which has clone great injury t: the dairying industry of this Ebminion.

When it assumed office in

General tai-lfg 4e, pa; pgund | Under the Australian trade agrgg. ment (extended to New Zealani-i by order-in-oouncili the duty on butter was reduced to one cent per pburuy

The Govern-lent has now decided to increase one butter duties as ioll_ cws:

British preference 4c. per pound

Intermediate tariff 6c. per pound

Gdfleral tariff 7c. per pound

The agreement with New Zealancl i: to terminate on October 12, and on that date the duty against New Zealand butter will be raised Irom one cent to four cents per pound.

Under the countervailing duty provisions. now being introduced in- to the tariff schedules. still another rate of duty on butter will be impgs. in the oase of the Un- ited States product, meeting lihe United States duty at that figure.
