The beneficial effect of tin impor- tation of cheap New zealand butter into Canada has been the theme cf many impassioned editorials in the columns of our, local contemporary. When it was hinted that other coun- tries, including’ Australia, were pro- tecting their farmers against the New Zealand impoi-tations with higher tariffs, the Liberal organ retorted: "Who but a fanatical, partisan poli- tician would advise adopting a. policy in Canada that has brought Aus- tralia near the brink oi financial ru- in?" Did The Guardian imagine its readers were "so gullible" as to be- lieve that a. protective tariff "could possibly improve our farmers‘ pres- ent prosperity?" The thing was ab- surd! Such a. tariff "would greatly restrict foreign or external" trade and destroy many oi our beneflcicl pre- ferential trade treaties." when it‘ was suggested that the dumping reg- ulations could be applied to New Zea- land butter without injurlously af- fecting the Australian treaty, our contemporary was still unconvinced.‘ For our farmers t_o ask for an in- crease in duties would be "ill-advis- ed and inconsistent"; it would prob- ably influence the‘ consumers of Canada also to demand that the sal§ of oleomargarine he permitted"; it would be "playing into the hands of the manufacturers." Furthermore, “ii there is spy meaning in the plea for larger trade within the Elnnire. sure‘

but why not go back to i922, when the King Government assumed of- fice? The Auditor-Genera" report shows that the debt of Canada in 1920, well after the end of the war, was $2.24B,868,623. In 1925. the year selected by the Finance Minister for his comparison, the debt was $2,417,- 4371385. Now it is 32250337526, or practically where it was two years after the end of the war. The King Government increased the debt, then claims credit ior reducing it, just as it did in regard to the sales tax.

The Government cndpeople of Manitoba are planning to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the prov- ince in a fitting manner on July 15th next. Celebration of the transfer of" Manitoba's natural resources; if put through in time, will hep. fea-

And now the Patriot's worst fears have been realized. The-King Gov- , ernrnent budget provides for the ter- mination of the trade agreement,‘ now in operation with New Zealand and for an increased duty on New Zealand butter to four cents a pound. Furthermore, that detesta“ “brick for brick" policy whereby the Canad- ian‘ tariff automatically becomes the aame as that. prevailing in the coun- try oi export will be put into effect on such commodities as butter, po- tatoes eggs, fresh meats, livestock, etc. Our contemporary is thus left high and dry with its tariff argu- menta. It is all dressed up in gor- geous anti-protection regalla, and it has no place tp go.

boundaries were enlarged. In iii: a large part of Keewatin was taken from the Northwest Territories and ‘ added to Manitoba. Drganization of Manitoba's first i‘ provincial Government began in i870. Adam G.’ Archibald, of Nova scotla, was appointed as governor. Seven members were named to constitute the Legislative Council, and twenty- four meinbers—-twelve French and twelve Englhh-were elected to form the Legislative Assembly. The‘ first Legislature met in 1871. and five years later the Second Chamber. or Council. was abolished. By that time a considerable l V ‘* r of homestead- ers from Eastern Canada’ had aet- tled in Manitoba, and straggling set- tlements with, perhaps l2,000 inhab- itants, in ten years grew to a. prov- ince of more than 60,000 people. To- day the population is about 100,000. When the province was created, the Dominion retained control of her natural resources, and in lieu .there- of Manitoba received certain speci- fied subsidies. Recurring agltationa for “better terms" have not been in vain; her contention that Manitoba should possess a seaport on Hudson Bay has been conceded; and now the consummation so ardently de- sired is to take place through par- liamentary sanction oi the transfer of her natural resources in order that her cup oi happiness may be full on the occasion of the province's diamond jubilee.

NotgesBy The Way contradictory reports are continu- ously pouring out from Soviet Rus- sia. regarding the intolerance oi of- ficial sovietism towards religloh. The "ancheater Guardian publishes what is claimed b: be a confidential letter from the British Ambassador in Moscow. According to this letter "there is no religious persecution in Russia in the strict sense of the term. and that no case has been discov- ered oi a priest or anyone else being ' punished for practising religion." In the next paragraph, however, the statement is made that “severe disa- bilities" afe imposed on priests by the Government, and that "Soviet leaders aim at the eventual disap- pearance of religion from Russia."

The report says that no case could be found oi "any punishment for the practise oi i Christianity" and that "people are free to worship and to be

Christian fashion, there being simi- lar, liberty for Jews and Mohamme- dans." On the other hand, there is prohibition of "public or organized religious instruction to children under 1B years of age." The Christian world need not be alarmed regarding con- ditions in Russia. If there is one thing that history teaches more clear- ly than another, it is that religion is never extinguished by persecution.

A ‘section of the United States press expresses unbelief in the eiIi-

disarmament Conference. The Bos- ton Herald damns the treaty with faint praise. It says ill part: ‘The average American who checks up the half-remembered headlines o!

The New Welland Canal which was formerly opened ior shipping a few daya ago is one oi the transpor- tation wondera oi the world. It has been nearly twenty years a-building and has cost the country $116,000,000. ‘The new canal is a giant stairway for ships, overcoming the Niagara Falls barrier. In seven tremendous steps it will drop the great grain ships oi the Upper Lake down 3201-2 feet to the level oi Lake Ontario and raise them up again when they have unloaded their cargoes at King- ston or Prescott, or some other 5t.

Good-bye u. all that! Good-bye to long dull stories of morons tangled iacheir own crude desires.
