'41! Maritime Righter: Now!

The non.

Not only did the Liberal Press hold the agitation up to ridicule and scorn, but dacribed as “Irnbecile Liberals,” those of their party who got behind the movement

Promin- King in his i925 carn- psign, asked cynically, "What ARE Isa-clan mam-n" and a. the fol- lowing election, i926, hi! lieutenant and Minister of Railways, Hon. Mr. Dunning, replied that Maritime Rights are, "birth. death and a free ride on the nicer-colonial". '

Mr. Wm. Duff oi Lunenburg, who was a competitor with Mr. hlacmll- lan for the Fisheries portfolio, de- scribed Maritime Rights as "a Pol- itical‘ balloon, filled with Tory Hot Air“-

The Ecol. Ml‘- Crerar, the new Min- ister of Railways, described our claims for preferential rates on the fnflwny as "e proposition that is to- tally absurd."

The Hon. M)‘. Malcolm, Minister of Trade and Commerce. not only en- dersm this view, but added that it would be “a fatal mistake for us to discriminate at this time against the Atlantic port of the Canadian Na- tional Railways," meaning Portland, U. S. A.

This is a sample of the "support" Maritime Rights had from the Lib- erals before sir Andrew Rae Run- can endorsed the Conservative claims.

The Conservative Party welcomed the Duncan Report at its convention in Winnipeg in ‘October 1927, and went on record wth a pledge to fully implement each and every recom- mendation made by the Commis- sions.

So far the Liberals have failed to implement ten of the sir Andrew Rae Duncan recommendations, and Mr. Macmillan, though a party to the report. is defending the Govem- ment for its breach of faith.

The S. 0. S. Call

The deplorable condition into which the Liberal party has fallen is evidenced by the fact that Macken- zie King has sent out an S. O. S. BU be k Toronto Globe and the ‘Ibronio Star to publish biased re- ports of his meetings throughout the Western Provinces because the effect of the unbiased reports nl the Can- adian Press was to depress. and dis- courage the Liberal party in the East.

It may be mentioned in passing, however, that it does not require the unbiased reports of the Canadian Press to bring about depression in the Liberal ranks. In the Maritime Provinces at all events Liberals have been more or less depressed since the beginning oi the campaign. and the depression was added to very consid- erably by the addresses here oi the Prime Minister himself. He has gone to the country withoutuannideal and without the vision so necessary to encourage and enthrall a leader's followers. The whole scope of his speeches has been to discount the pol-

icy of his opponent and to offer noth- ing substantial on his own partto off- set it. He has been on the defensive - all the time and his blunders in leg- islation. adminimation and diplo- macy have been so very numerous and great that it has taken moat of his time at his respective meetings to explain them away.

tagonism with which he was receiv- edwhen he visited that land of the free and independent. His appeal to the Toronto Globe and the ‘Ibronio star to provide antidotes in the way of biased reports for the future in- dicates into what a pass the leader- ship oi the once great Liberal party in the Dominion has fallen.

Moreover, the Duncan Report (pages 27-8) adds:

"We further recommend that, so far as the ferry service is concern- ed, it should not be run as part oi the Railway operations, but should be run by the railway administe- tion under separate account for the department. We feel that. by reason of its association with rail- way' accounts this service does not get the attention it should re- delve."

Will Hon. Cyrus Macmillan ex- plain why this ommlerldatlon. which he made with his colleagues of the Duncan Commission in i926. has been consistently ignored‘?

Ignoring The Issue

The Liberal candidates in Queen's County have not yet made up their minds whether the New Zealand treat-y is beneficial or otherwise to Canadian dairy farmers. When chal- lenged on this point, Mr. R. l-l. Jenk- ins frankly admitted that he didn't know, and his portfolio colleague Hon. Cyrus Macmillan would not commit himself beyond saying that New - Zealand butter wasn't a major issue in the campaign. In view of Finance Minister Dunning‘: prom- ise, if elected, to negotiate a separ- ate trade treaty with New Zealand and his failure to give any guaran- tee that our dairy interests would receive any more protection under the new treaty than it is receiving today, it is surely important to our farmers to know where their party candidates stand. so far as the Con- servative candidates are concerned. they stand by l-lon. R. B. Bennett's pledge to see that the rights of all agricultural interests will be safcguarded.

Recon! Vs. Cant

The Patriot's misrepresentations are now a daily occurence and of such barefaeed character as to indi- cate it has lost all sense of self-re- spect and is fighting a losing game.

Yesterday by leaving out the first part of a paragraph and publishing the second half, it claimed The Guardian had proved the Hon. Mr. Macmillans attitude right on the Subsidy question. One might as rea- sonably clalm that Mr. Msemillank recent recent on the countervailing duties on potatoes was "can “.

“Dropping The Pilot”

It is too bad to find the Patriot 301111113 with many other official Liberals in attempting to ignore the candidature oi Mr. B. H. Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins has been a Liberal for at least five years, spending; great

members oi the Upper House are rarely to be seen among those gam- lbOlllh§ at the ocean's rim. Realizing ‘the extent to which a. bathing-suit can unmake a man, they prefer to do their bathing privily behind ior-ic- ed doors.

The Hon. '1‘. A. Crerar says that if Western Canada can produce 500,000.- 1000 bushels oi wheat this year, and if ‘we can market the crop, unemploy- ment will practically have disappear- ,ed in Canada in eight or ton months. EThere is much virtue in these two "its." and all parties will ppm. in hoping their virtue will have all pos- jsible reward in due season. But what fthe unemployed, whose existence Mr. ‘William Lyon Mackenzie King and ibis colleagues are beginning to rea- ilile, will ask the Prime Minister is: ‘What do you propose to do for us in the meantime?

The winnlpeg Tribune observes ed- itorially: "The Prime Minister used several thousand words in explaining his position on unemployment. Against all m; explanations the fact stands

Federal Government to aid in this necessary relief, even though the Federal Government ls almost wholly responsible for the situation and Winnipeg has no responsibility for it at all." I

Agriculture ls Canada's outstanding primary industry, having a produc- lion value oi nearly $2,000,00D,000 an- nually. As an industry it provides gainful occupation directly and in- dlectly, to more than fifty per cent of Canada's population.

There are 121,450 voters on ihe lists in the city of Winnipeg, compared with 77.154 in i926. That is a re- markable increase. Another notable fact is that the proportion oi women voters is larger than in any previous list, municipal, provincial or federal. Under such changed conditions it would be idle to base predictions on the result d the present contest on the figures for 1926. The large new element must be reckoned with, and 1t will keep the parties guessing till the votes are counted. one o! the iodd features of the campaign in that city is that Mr. Woodsworth, the well known radical and Independent- Labor candidate, is being opposed by a Communist.

___. You may remember the old story that when the farmer looked at the pigs as they grew. fatter for market. he used to smile to himself and 58y- “Nothings too good for them. they're the boys that pay the rent."

And so all kinds of foods, all rem- nants of foods. vegetables and rfults of all kinds, were put in a mash. sometimes partially cooked, and fed to the pigs.

And one of the foods that the farmer feeds his pigs to st-Nnltllfll and enlarge their bodies is skimmed milk.

Now there seems to be a feelins in some homes that once the cream is removed from the milk the balance might just as well be poured down the sink.

As a matter of fact the cream or most of the butter fat has been re- moved, and with it considerable of the fat soluble vitamin, but remain- ing in the milk, after the cream is removed, are some of the most valu- able food factors.

Chief of these ls the protein which as you know is the constituent in meat that makes it so valuable as a. food. As the chief source of protein is from meat and eggs and they are rather expensive, you can see what a. cheap source oi protein then is found in skim milk, -

Further, skim milk contains a con- siderable quantlty oi lime, and as the bones and teeth, the framework of the body. needs this for growth you can see why the farmer wants to give his pigs skim milk. He wai-its a big frame on them to fatten out for market. '

Now our baby specialists discovered the value of skimmed milk for grow- ing babies and lf you question moth- ers youll find that a great number of themare feeding their babies skim- med milk.

Besides, skimmed milk still retains a little of its butter fat. which with the sugar remaining in it, gives the heat and energy that the body needs.

Thus the child in gettingsklmmed milk gets proteins which repair tis- sue which has worn out by kicking, wriggling. squirming and crying; some oi the fat required for protec- tiorrof tissues: lime to give him bone and what is equally important to give him strong teeth; sugar to give him energy and heat. -

The thought then is that skimmed milk is a real good food, and a cheap food. The use of it in soups, with cereals. or in cooking. would seem like good sense.

THE ATHABASKA TBAE

My life is gliding downward, it speeds swifter to the day

when it shoots the last dark cannon to the Plains of Far-away,

But while its stream is running through the years that are to be.

The mighty voice of Canada. will ever calhto me.

I shall hear the roar of rivers where the rapids foam and tear,

I shall smell the virgin upland with its balsam laden air,

And shall dream that I am riding

down the winding woody vale

With the packer and the packhorse

on the Athabaska ‘Irail.

I have passed the warden cities at. the Eaatem water-gate

Where the hero and martyr laid the cornerstone oi State,

The habltant, coureur-des-bois, and hardy voyageur-

Where lives a breed more strong at need to venture or endure?

I have seen the gorge of Erie where the roaring waters run,

I have crossed the Inland Ocean, lying golden in the sun.

But the last and beat and sweetest is the ride by hill and dale

With the packer and the paekhorse on the Athabaska Trail.

I‘ll dream again oi fields oi grain that stretch from sky to sky

And the little prairie hnnmlgtg w"; the care go roaring by,

Wooden hamlets as I saw them- rioble cities still to be,

To girdle stately Canada‘ with gem; from sea to sea.

Mother of a mighty manhood, land of glamor and of hope,

From the eastwa d sea-swept mam; to the sunny western slope. Ever more my heart is with you, w" more till life shall fail

I‘ll be out with pack and packer 0n the Athabaska ‘frail.

Though his rapid rise toprominence since 11¢ came to Canada is highly creditable, both to himself and to the Domin- ion, his Cobdenlte English anteced- ents cannot be overlooked when we consider his Position in the present ‘controversy. As the chief spokesman for an extreme national status which almost amounts to separatism, the prime minister must be ruled out. Mr. Malcolm's role in the budget- making has been, in part at least to maintain adequate tariff protection for the furniture industry, in which h; has been such a prominent factor.

M1‘- Dunning, as we have said, is no doubt. sincere in his insistence that Canada should ask nothing in re- turn for such real concessions to Great Britain as are included in the more or less llusory preferences to the United Kingdom. He is still hip- ped by the lalssez-faire conception of the old Manchester school, which envisions the theory that no country should seek, by tariff legislation or through governmental interference, to protect its own industries and work people. ‘That is why he revolied at the idea of two-way preferences, and why he rejects proposals that lCanada should go to the Imperial iConlerence in a bargaining spirit. Like the prime minister, he is a dis- tinguished theorist, much given to} academic polemics, but hardly happy as finance minister of a young nation in a. practical twentieth century world.
