Apple DayuAhd Its Significance

Apple Day serves three‘ distinct purposes. It brings to the attention of the consumer the "excellence of our home grown fruit, encouraging the growers thereby to develop and improve their orchards, It provides the “sinews of a bloodless war” for a movement which ‘is laying the foundation for the neflv world, begotten since 1914. It tends to unselfishness, making us think,'for a moment, at least, of the other fel- low, who is trying to make two blades of pro- gress grow where perhaps none grew before.

\Ve have said before, and say it again, we are in a ucw era vastly different from that be- fore the war, and the sooner we realize it, the better for the rising generation. Scouting for bo 's is a means t0 that end. Under it boys are being cooperatively and interestingly taught to use their brains, their eyes, ears, hands and de- velop all their facilities so that they may make the most of the spare time which, will be more and more thrust upon them the older they grow. This cooperative effort is being accomplished largely by appealing to the curiosity of the boys, the finest of the passions. It is impersonal, ‘and so can remain when all personal appetites have been paid off. Curiosity is not utilitarian, and so can carry on when men are sated with means. Curiosity is inexhaustible, and so can find fresh fields and new explorations when all the world that man can exploit is ordered, every sight has been seen and every power exercised.

The many cure-alls for the world's troubles being foisted upon us, even the attempts to make an easy way of exit from-them all, are but desparing symptoms of the changed conditions. They do nothing positively to help us meet the new conditions, As Mu. GERALD HEAD so well puts it in his new book “Science in the Making 1"

“\Ve are being driven to find nothing less thap a new way of life. Till now, for nearly every human being, there was only. one real business in life, and that was to get his living

. and that of his dependants. All his other inter-

ests had to be fitted in, in the interstices of that iron sructure which framed life for him. Now what has been primary structure is becoming secondary, and it is on the random fillings and screens, the odd interests and spare-time hobbies, that we are’ discovering that the future purpose snd meaning of our life is to depend. Probably no profounder change-over and revolution has ever shaken the customs of men."

And it is in this revolution the Boy Scout movement is attempting to play its part, and it is for this it deserves the sympahy and active support of every‘ red-blooded citizen and of evcly man of good will.

The Reciprocity Treaty

The, signing yesterday of the Canada- United States reciprocity treaty is an event the importance of which will necessarily depend up- on the terms, which are being held over for

publication Monday morning What Canada is‘

seeking chiefly is s freer entry of her lumber, fish, cattle, potatoes and dairy products. These items are all of importance to Maritime pro- ducers, who in addition are desirous of obtain- ing 9 lowering of the prohibitive American duty on silver fox.

The Conservative attitude towards the treaty is well summed up by the Ottawa Journal when it says: “Most of the groundwork was laid by Mu. BENNETT, but if MR. Kmo can build and improve upon it to Canada's advant- age, nobody will object.” MR. BsNNsr-fs attit- ude was that the interests of basic industries in Canada nlust not be sacrificed unduly. This was an attitude thoroughly understandable at \Vash- ington. It must not be forgotten that it was un- der the former KING administration that the existing high U. S. tariffs were imposed on Canadian products, and that under the Durmmc Budget of 1930 it was proposed to retaliate by means of countervailing duties. The protective measures subsequently adopted by the BENNETT administration operated more effectively, and with less friction, than the DUNNING scheme would have entailed. "

If today reciprocity with United States has been achieved, it is because Canada, thanks to the lllzlslvl-Trr policies, has been in/a position tc Iiargain _£1(l\‘l1I1l11gC01lSly with our southern neighbor. How successfully Mn. Kmo has used this bargaining weapon remains to be seen, The point is that he owes it entirely to his predecessor in office that he did not have to go empty- handed to Washington, begging forfavors rath- er thalt negotiating on a basis of mutual trade concessions.

Bennett Policy Vindicaled

Mr. Tnomts B. CAMPBELL, eminent Ameri-

can authority on the world wheat situation, in a recent press statement amply vindicates the policy of the late Canadian Government in butt- ressing the Winnipeg wheat market during the depression and in enabling the surplus wheat to be held back until the present comparative short- age developed. It is estimated that this wise policy yielded our Western grain growers $200.- ooo,ooo more than they otherwistfwould- have ‘received prior to this year. ‘And now the pros- _pect is that ey will be able to sell their carry- over together with this year's surplus st profit- able prices. But for the BIIIIIITI.‘ Government's foresight much of Canldfs wheat would , have been sacrificed st forty or fifty cents a

Y} bushel. ~

1t st bargain-counter prices. Because of drought and reduction of acreage in the United States the American farmers have practically no available wheat on hand and the country is now ready to import enormous quantities. Canada is today sitting ‘in the driver's seat as far as wheat is concerned, because it was not forced by politic- ians to sell the wheat that it has been storing up. And the surplus consists of good milling wheat, the choicest grade of wheat obtainable. It is silly to think that the United States will irilport either Russian or Argentine wheat from such a long distance when we can import it just across the line from Canada." '

Mr. CAMPBELL concluded his statement by commenting enthusiastically on the “tremendous foresight and courage of the late Ottawa Gov- ernment in holding back the country's wheat and ln building up the present surplus for sale at ad- vanced prices." In his judgment Canada has nothing to fear from Russia, Argentina or other wheat-producing countries, and the whole Dominion will benefit immensely from the in- creased buying power of the farmers that will result, '
