Lillie For Our Farmers

Canada, it is announced, has ob- tained tariff reductions on more than 5300 million worth of goods in the general round of world tariff bargaining at (icncva. and about two-thirds of the concessions will help expand Canadian exports to the l'nitcrl States. But there does

not seem to be much in the new deal for the Canadian farmer. iii- deed, it is stated that the United

States refused to negotiate on ma- jor farm and fish products, and that in return for concessions on various industrial products, Canada has agreed to either hold the line or re- duce rates on some ."5l8fl million wmzlli of goods, to be effective early in July as each of her negotiating partners makes the agreements op- eraiive.

The negotiations are a result of

Iniir months of "horse-trading” at tieiirwa under the 36-coiiriiry Gen- eral Agreement on Tariffs and

Trade it,'A'l'TJ in which t.wcnt.y-two countries participated. Canada did most of her direct negotiating with the United States. her chief market. but none with Britain. her second-

hesl in:-irkcl. ifowever. under the lerms of i;A'l”l”, the. concessions granted in one country are appli- cable to all others. Major fields of

concession to Canada are finished paper products, cllemicals. metals and metal products. including var- ious electrical goods. mining and other machinery, aircraft and auto- mobile. parts. Ottawa officials intim- sled that they would ”iiked to have obtained concessions from the U. S. on major farm products," but were apparently unsuccessful. This. of course. is election year for our Am- erican neighbors and they have ii big farm bloc to deal with at home. Though details were not avail- able. it was intimated that we had obtained some tariff concessions for our fisheries. including lobster. sal- mon. salt cod and herring. In re- turn. shelled and frozen oysters and shelled oysters in bulk and cans will now enter this country free of duty. and there is to be a reduction in our tariff on shrimps. No refer- once is made to potato tariffs: but this matter. in which our Island producers and shippers are seeking readjustment. may still be a matter of compromise between the United States and Canadian authorities. It. is to be hoped that it. will not be lost sight. of in the general shuffle.

Curious Omissions

Metropolitan Nikolai. s e c o n d ranking prelaie in the Russian Or- thodox Church-what is left of it- ls in the United States as head of a delegation of religious leaders. They are the guests of the National Coun- oil of Churches, a number of whose reprcscnlalives visited the Soviet nion in the early Spring.

Last Sunday Archbishop Nik- lai delivered an address in New York; and, according to reports. there was not a word in it about any controversial subject. Neither Communism nor the Soviet Gov- ernmentis fight against religion was

mentioned. The only reference to any specific Soviet matter was: "Holy Russia will never die".

Strangely enough. this phrase "Holy Russia" is used on many official Soviet. documendit, just as it was in the days of the Czars. Even Niikita Khrushchev. who hates religion al- most as much as he hates the late Stalin. uses it on occasion. Such is the force of tradition.

The Metropolitan failed to men- (ion. too. that he was an outspoken opponent of United Nations' inter- vention in the Korean War. and that he masons of those who charged the Western forces with using germ Wiffsrl in that conflict. Most sig-

Evidently. he has no intention of answering it or even discussing it; which, in a way. is I pity. for s truthful and frank state- ment in the matter could reveal facts of interest to us all.

The dramatic effect was intensified by Mr. Diefenhakcr recalling. in a broken voice, that he and Dr. Mac- imugall had sci-vi-tl together in the lfltilgh Battalion forty years ago, and by the remark of Mr. Solon Low.

"THE WINNER"

Cost Of Natural Gas

By Patrick Nicholson

l l nttaua: Readers have asked if I I made 8 mistake when I recent- LV '.scrihcd in this column the l bilge mark-up in the price of nat- ural gas. as If ill travel easi- i nerds lli. ugh the controversial . pipeline.

No. I did iinl make u mistake.

Idcscribed how the producer will sell his gas at the well-head for about 5 cents per 1.000 cubic fect. And that same gas. will cost the average private householder in say Toronto fifty times as much. or 52.50 per 1.000 cubic feet.

32.50 is the suggested average price for domestic users in that area of soiith-west Ontario. in fact. the domestic buyer. like the in- dust 'il user. will pay according to I sliding scale. with his first 1.000 cubic feet costing not S250 but actually as much as 34.10. This is a staiztzciing 84 times the well-head pricc. "mm that point. the nmr. he buys the less he pays for each subsequent 1.000 cubic feet. .

My ii1t'oi'mant about these prices was Carl Nickle. the Conservative MP. from Calgary. who is reco- nizcd as being the greatest au- thority on gas a d nil in the lfousc of (fomninns.

The average producer in Alberta will sell his gas for about 5 cents per 1.000 cubic feet. at the well- head. This is the standard quant- ity used in dismissing gas prices. just as one refers to coal by the ion. "0 my prices can he assumed to refer to that quantity.

it costs a further 5 cents to clean the gas of impurities which are found in it in its natural state. in dry it. and to collect. it. So the price of field-gathered gas reaches in rents. To pipe it to the border of the province Loki! an average of 4 cents, so the price of Izas at the Alberta border is 14 cents.

An extremely exclusive colony of earthworms. which appears to have existed in splendid isolation since Roman times. has been dis- covered in some mud several feet below a car park in St. Alhans.

Above the ditch were the flnnrs of successive buildings erected be- tween the first and fourth cen- turies AD There seems in be no way the worms could have got into the ditch apart from moving in L900 years ago before it was filled in

perior, and then southwards into the heart of Canada's densest pop- ulation complex,

The gas will then hr sold for -til ii cents "0 the gates n! that big dslribution area covering Wei - land-Toronto-Oshawa.

The price will jump from about half a dollar at the gates of Tor- onto to two and a half dollars piped to an'average Toronto home.

This big jump is accounted for by the high cost of digging up the road. laying the pipe. resurfacing the road-all to meet a very thin distribution of gas-using homes and a very incomplete use of gas in those homes.

in Calgary. by contrast. house. holders use gas for cooking. for heating their water supply, and for space-healing their homes. Further. gas arrived with many of the sub-divisions in Calgary. so the pipe was laid underground be- fore the road was surfaced. and it serves every house on the street. That average Calgary householder therfure. gets his gas as cheap ss 29 cents.

in Toronto. on the other hand, streets are laid and homes ni- rvartv Nlllilmed with electric ranccs. el tric water heaters and oil-burning furnaces. To use gas. the householder would have to buy new equipment.

COMPARATIVE PRICES

20,000 cubic feet. of gas is equiv. alent to 1 ton of anthracite of to 4 barrels (180 gallons) of fuel on.

It is therefore no cheaper than coal. (in much more expensive than fuel oil. It is of course vary con. venicnt to handle. But the price factor cnuplcd with the present ljtluibmeiu of homes makes it un- likely that many homes will switch in bus in a hurry. or even that those homes will make complete use til gas for all three domestic purposes. The resulting thinness of the market accounts largely for the high price asked for gas.

But it may well be very much fhellllcr in new sub-divisions if these are planned for gas from "'9 hlllcrrlnl stage. Industrial users anyhow will get it for about half the domestic price.

So in spite of all the tumult and the shouting about the pipe. line in the House of Commons. it "sems unlikely that natural gas is lifting 10 play a very significant role in Onlariii lives for many ,v' irs to come.
