i A Cooperative System

For an agfliuIturaI province like Prince Edward Island the key that mi... inevitably open the door to pgoaperltyi, a prosperity ‘in which all. shall share. is co-operation. No coun- try on the continent is more fav- orably situated for a purely co-oper- ativesystem than is Prince Edward It has a soil capable of pro- ducing anything that can be pro- duced in the temperate zone and n climate anexcelled anywhere in the world.

In the matter of systematic and successful co-operation Denmark has set us is striking example, Reduced to poverty and almost to starvation. the country was on the verge’ of be- ing depopulated. A few public spir- ited men. realizing that the only hope for the country was in agriculture. led the way u» the system of co-op- eration which is in vogue there today.

'It will be remembered that the soil of Denmark is almost, barren, made up as it is largely of sand drifted in from the North Sea. Still it could produce something, and these far- sighted lenders realized that its pro- ductivity oould be increased. The peo- ple gladly acted upon the advice oi these leaders, and banded themsel- ves together into communal associa- tions, l-iaving for their aim the pro- duction o! the very best that soil and workmanship could produce. So ef- fectively was this system carried out that within a few years their pro- ducts, particularly in bacon, poultry and eggs. found a placein the Brit- ish market from which no competi- tion from outside could dislodge them. This system oflcommunal co-oper- ation eventually dominated the whole

Igricultural life of the country, and today the farmers are independent, are masters oi the situation and are in a position to dictate to the mar. ket instead of being dictated to by the market. The system followed in Denmark is intensive cultivation and rigid inspection of all exports. All marketing is done through a central committee and members are penal- lltd if they foil to deal through this executive. Under such a system it pays to be loyal.

The average size of the largest farms in Denmark is about forty acres. On this little farm livestock. even beyond the capacity of the farm to feed. is kept. Eight, per comp "f the fwd required to make the livestock fit for market is imported; and yet under these heavy handicaps the Danish farmer is prosperous. Co- operation of this kind requires lead- 97511113. Rfld leadership is perlmpg @119 o.‘ the greatest needs in our Province l lxzday. i

‘Rhetoric and Fuels.

Despite Premier King's eloquence,

intensely interested in President Hoover's declaration to Congress in which he says:

"An effective tariff upon agri- Olllwml NOducU. that will com- pensate tne farmers’ higher cmts and higher standards of living, has o. dual purpose. Such a ta-riii not. only protects the farmer in our donaesaie market, but it also stim- ulates him to diversify his crops and to grow products. and thus lemons his dependence upon ex- ports to foreign markets. ‘ms great expansion of production abroad under the conditions I have men- cloned renders foreign competition in our expect markets increasingly serious. It seems but natural. there- fore, that the American farmer. having been greatly handicapped in his foreign market by such com- petition from the younger expand- ing countries, should ask that for- eign access to our domestic market should be regulated by taking into account the differences in our costs of production."

Canada. is imdoiflotedly the fore- most of “the younger expanding countries" against competition from which the United states farmer is to have additional and even prohibitive tariff protection. The President adds: "In order to lessen the American farmers’ dependence upon foreign markets." In this his policy differs diametrically from that o! the Cana- dian Premier who has leached the protection of the home market and exhorted the people to seek foreign markets.

at another point m. Hoover. dis- cussing the general tariii, oimrves:

“It would seem to me that the test of necessity for revision is, in the main, whether thecre has been a substantial slackening of activ- ity in an industry during the past few years, and a. consequent de- crease of employment due to insur- mountable competition in the pro- ducts oi that industry."

The President is particularly anx- ious that. the flexible principle may be left in the tariff so that he may be able to relieve suffering industries without waiting for slow congres- sional action. We quote:

"Injustices are bound to develop, such as were experienced by ihe dairfymen, the ilaxseed producers, the glass industry, and others, un- dcr the i922 rats. For‘ this rea- son, I have been most anxious that the broad principle-oi the flexible tariff as provided in the existing law should be preserved and its delays in action avoided by more expeditious methods of determin- ing the costs of production a‘; home and abroad. with executive author- ity to promulgate such changes up- on recommendation of the Tariff Commission afker exhaustive in- vestigation."

If Mr. Hoover. under pressure‘ of existing economic conditions. gets his way with Congress, Mr. Macken- zie King will not much loriser be able to evade the tariff issue.

Indeed, if "Humorist" be correctly informed, and "humor" is the sole or even the chief criterion of interest ou P. E. 1’., then I "weep all over rne" for the ‘prosperity oi future generations. Iftwe were even partly correct. there would be more than a modicum of truth inlthat controversy said to have taken place between a native oi P. E. I. and a Nova Scotian. The Gar- den-of-thc-Gulfer contended that ac- cording to institutional statistics the percentage of weak-minded people in P. E.
