TUESDAY, runrwmv go. ms Welcome Visitors

Charlottetown is favored this week by a '\'isit from a distinguished parliamentarian, Mr. ]:i'\ucs M. Rlztrrlonut-ll, .\l. l’., who is accom- pziuicd by Mr. h. ;\. Bell, of Ottawa, National Director of the Progressive Conservative Party. 'l‘hcy are touring Canada at the request 0f their lcadcr, Hon, john llrztckcir, whose desire is to obtain a clear 1ricturc of the post-war situation in cvcry province.

Nlr. Macdonncll is one of the ablest and most highly-regarded members ohthe Dominion Parliament. A brilliant scholar, an astute fin- ancier, a business executive of wide experi- ence, he- became a front-bencher immediately on his arrival in the House of Commons last fall, and his masterly address on the Budget elicited admiration from all groups in the House. He has the gifts and qualities of leadership, and is a valued acquisition to Parliament at a time when Canadians of vision are needed in pub- lic life. i

Mr. Bell has visited here 0n several occas- ions. He is key man in the Progressive Con- servative organization, and has ‘travelled ex- tensively in this connection.

Increase Imports

The fad: that Canada, as a greet export- ing country, cannot escape her obligations as an importer, has once again been heavily under- lined, this time _by Paul Kronacher, Belgian supply minister.

While visiting Ottawa, Mr. Kronacher said Belgium intended to purchase $85,000,000 worth of goods in Canada in 1946. Belgium is bor- rowing $25,000,000 for the purchase of sup- plies here, and this loan may later be in- creased. But whether the goods are Purchased with borrowed money or not, they must eventu- ally be paid for by the export of Belgian goods and services to Canada and to other countries. There is only one other way, and that is to give these goods away, as was done under Mut- ual Aid during the war, in which case the Can- adian taxpayers will be paying for them.

What applies to Belgium applies to the rest of the world. Canada, by the time it is finished, will this year have lodned more than $2 billions in credits to countries both within and outside the sterling area. If she is to receive payment for these loans, she must be prepared to import on I. scale far greater than any bhe has hitherto known.

Within a few years, the loans Canada is making will start to fall due. Countries which, through import of goods and services on a multi- lateral trading basis, have not accumulated suf- ficient foreign currency to pay these debts, will be compelled, in order to maintain their balaaoe of payments, to restrict imports to the bone, with the not unlikely result that trade bar- riora as onerous as those which obtained before the war will again be erected. The effect on an exporting country like Canada would be disastrous.

TMargarine And Shortages

The presontsnortage of butter in Canada, and a popular misconception as to why Canada. does not make its substitute, margarine, says the Glob; and Mail, has raised again the cry for manufacture of this latter product. Mar- garine, onoleomargarine as it is, sometimes known, is a butter-like substance made from vegetable and animal oils, colored and flavored, where legislation allows it, to resemble butter. It is a stranger to Canada, where it has been ‘under ban for many years, and millions in this

1 country probably have never seen or tasted it.

Margarine was invented in I869 in France, and was called "butterine." It became the but- ter substitute for the poor of tlie cities and be- came accepted in Britain during the last war. Canada banned its manufacture under the

flLaurier Administration shortly after the tum of the century. The order was rescinded in ,. 9K7‘ as a war measure, and reapplied, after a jli I battle, in 1923. it has been claimed ' flsomethat this legislation has created a mon- . " .»for the cow, or, more specifically, thd , ' farming industry. In peacetime this might ' ‘a yalld, argument. In wartime and in this of ‘world/if , shortage, however, it car-

‘ _ moral 9r actual weight. %:ue that Britainhnd most parts of the i’ ttifalldw“ lie- sale of‘ ntargarine‘, but ” ' he siuetipn t not simi ar-to in“ toll tlttettwhat she can

country is not entirely self-sufficient in butter. Before the war we imported butter from New Zealand and Australia to meet our home de- mands. We also were dependent upon outside sources for about 240,000,000 pounds of vege- table oils annually, most from the Far East. That figure has been cut drastically, and our

are nowhere near supplying our needs. Through our ability to produce butter to meet most of the needs of our population, Can- ada. in normal times has not required margarine =15 I Staple foods But we must still depend upon outside sources for‘ our cooking oils and fats, such as sholtcning. Therefore, to make mar- garine in this country we would have to draw further upon the already dangerously low world pool of edible oils. This would mean that the supply of these commodities for Britain, the United States and the European countries would be reduced. Ifwe must eat margarine, others must go without some part of their precious fats and oil supply. ’

The Globe and Mail sums in this fashion: _

\Ve are not suffering in this country. even though our butter ration has been reduced. For Canadians to demand margarine at this time would not only be morally, but materially, out of the question. The argument for and against margariue- production iu periods of normal supply is another matter.

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics esti- mates that the downward trend in Canadian hog production which began in the spring of 1944 would continue through the first half of this year on the basis of the nmnber of sows bred to farrow. Evidence of the reduced spring and fall pig crops of 1945 is shown in a reduction in the hog population, estimated at 5,853,100 for December r, r945, compared with 7,646,800 for December f, i944. The greatest decreases were recorded for the Prairie Provinces, which, dur- ing the years of heavy production, have been most important contributors to the available supplies of ‘bacon foaexport.

Restoring order in Bombay, the scene of violent food riots during the past week, is the difficult task today confronting Colonel the Rt. Hon. Sir John Colville, who has been governor of the province since 1943. Sir John can bring a wide and varied experience to bear on the problem. A Scot, 5o years of age, with indus- rial as well as political training, he was former- ly a director of David Colville and Sons and other steel and engineering firms. His flPPOint- mcnt to Bombay terminated I4 years in the House of Commons, during which time he sat for North Midlothian. He had also held Min- isterial posts.
