“We are Supposed to be Low Tariff Men,” Said Mr. Forke “But in Practice it is Dif- ficult to Carry Out Theories.”

' TORONTO. May 31. —-“l have learned more about the automo- bilebusiness in the last six weeks than l ever expected to learn in my life." Robert Forke, Progres- sive leader in the House of Com- mons, declared Saturday, whle discussing the tariff reductions on automobiles embodied in the iFed- oral ‘budget. Mr. and Mrs. Forke were in Toronto on their way to the Niagara fruit belt where they spent the week-end.

Western farmers. 'Mr. Forke said were quite favorably inclined to the tariff reductions on automo- biles. but the problem of protec- tion was a difficult one.

“We are supposed to be low tariff men," said Mr. Forke, "but in practice it is difficult to curry out theories."

Take the coal and steel indus- tries in Nova Scotia for instances. The simple fact is that the mines there are not economically sound. Coal is produced at an excessive cost and when it is produced it. is poor in quality and yct there nro half a million Canadians in the Maritime Provinces dependent on the industry. it cannot stand upon its own feet unprotected and it‘ the duty is removed an answer must at once be found to the ques- tion of what we are going to do with all those people,"
