The British Dole

ii

By a 1111101"? c; Qlvotol. the ant

Isl-l Labcrflovernmentsucceeded this week in passing legislation for the eon-owing of an additional $100,000,000 to be expended in doles. The dole, or unemployment insurance, has now become one of the critical elements in the Labor Government's position, and the situation to which it is giving rise is viewed with "increasing alarm. During the next financial year, open- lhg April 1, 1t o estimated the dole will cost the British taxpayer between

$250,000,000 and $275,000,000. By 1032 thus will have been borrowed from the British Treasury, for the purpose of the dole, some $550,000,000; a debt which, as the report from Lmldon points out, will entirely upset the equilibrium of the budget on the _ basis oi existing taxation. The British Treasury deals rather curtly with the suggestion that the ‘ existing debt should be written off; announcing that “the money which has been borrowed must be repaid." The only question the Treasury is concerned about is whether it should be repaid by fund, or by the general taxpayer. The Treasury wants its - money back. Undoubtedly the dole originated in perfectly good intentions, and per. haps its introduction could not have been avoided. It came into existence when the demands on the unemploy- nwlt insurance fund exceeded the _ fund's resources. To make up the de- ficit the Government made loans to ik msurance fund, in the hope, pre- sulnably, that better tlmas would cqne and unemployment insurance be able to take care of its own obll. Qtionl. Instead of this happening be dole his rolled up the debt which is causing the British people so much concern now. 'Unemployment insurance, insofar as it involves the appearance of s. dd: system. l! something to be stud- ied very carefully. 1t may be agreed that unemployment ls a national ,. blem which has to be met, but a. system which involves the pos- sibilities of the dole as it has worked out in Britain givs rise to difficulties of its own, as grave l-ls those it is sup- pied to allay.

The First Cheese Factory

' From the early days \'.IlCll filzt the French Colonist: prepared their “fro. mage raiIlne," to the present iimc, the manufacture and export of cheese has held an important place amongst Canadian industries. The first mod. ern cheese factory to be established in this country. according to the 1n- land Revenue Review, was built in Ox- ford County, Ontaliio in 1864. Shortly afterwards factories were established in other parts of Ontario and also 1n Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotla. By the year 186B Canada was exporting six million pounds of cheeseyrhis output rapidly increased until by 1904 Canadian cheese exports amounted to 233,980,710 pounds. Since that date, however, exports have de- cllfld. PU‘ the fiscal year ended lfarch 31, 1930, cheese exports total- led 92,393,700 pounds, valued at $18,- 271,004." OI this amount 83,156,200 pounds valued at $16,224,694 went to the United Kingdom; and 6,780,700 pounds valued at $1,498,833 to the United States. Other buyers of Can. adian cheese include Newfoundland, ths British West Indies, China, Ger- many, Cuba and British South Africa.

Our Fur Trude With England

Before the war the chief market for Canadian furs was ‘in England and that position has been regained with- in the last year. In the interval it was for a time held by the tmited Stiles. Oi the $5,100,000 of undressed flu exported to the United States and the United Kingdom in 1914, nagland received $8,000,000; in 1919 out of the $13,300,000 worth exported only $3,700,000 went to the British market.

Exper- ience has now proved that it is pos- slble to give an industry the protec- tion lt needs without the increased tariff imposing any greater burdens on the consumer. All that is needed is to arrive at a ‘ agreement with the industrialists that they can only increase prices at the loss of their increased protection. Govern. ment, therefore, have the best reasons to go on with the "revision of the tariff and to impose all necessary safeguards against the importation of finished articles which can be fur- nished by national industry.

(Qflllla Packet and 'I‘lmes) the M u mm!“ Sir,—While lecturing in London Ontario, Thursday evening, Jan- uary 23, the question was ‘asked. “Are you going to have your place open on Sundays this year " I replied as plainly as I could, but for fear that there might possibly be some who did not catch my whole meaning, 1 just ask the privilege of answering the question through the pres so there cannot be a nil-Blinder‘ standing. The facts are, I am only a grown up, underprivileged boy, and the core of my heart ls with the same class of people. As proof of this I carried on for over fifteen years without a fence in front of my premises, but as the trees I had planted grew. the place became more and more attrac- tive and more and more-Npeople gathered here, especially on ‘Sunday, until one Sttday in April, 1925, there were over 5,000 people here. This fact will give you a, flash of the problem I began to sec I, was facing, especi- ally as I had to be away from hmne the greater {part of my time, lectur- ing to get money to feed the birds that are also oorlgregatlng laere.

Finally the dear soul's health failed and she collapsed and pent two winters in the hospital at Preston Springs, On- tarlo, under the care of Drs. Hagemlers Bros, and while we fully expected to give the balance of our lives to the public, yet, we don't want 1t all to happen in one year.

In spite of formal assurances extended from Moscow that the seditious propaganda of Bolshevik comtplexion should be checked, it is evident‘ enough that this part of the bargain has not been observed and that the Soviet officials have a plan of campaign which not only holds the Labor Government in slight regard, but, if carried out will utterly frus- trate any hopes of trade relations be- tween the two countries being im- proved. And this was the main motive and understanding on the British side when the ' resumption of dip- lomatlc relations and the new trade agreement was signed.
