WHEAT PROSPECTS Apr” 1' 1919' is u'“3'm5`5u' tually "took," however. some years ago 9. druggist or will ITWPU- °"m°“u7- ph” mth
Canada, it is now confidently Dre-
dlcted, should have no difficulty in
selling all her wheat in the crop
year ending with July 31, 1932. The whole world wheat situation has
been undergoing substantial change in recent months, with the net re-
sult that there will be a substan-
tially lower world crop this year than last, the reduction being more than sufficient to absorb the heavy
carryover shown at the close of the
Ust crop yea;-.
This year .it is estimated that
Russia will have no wheat for ex-
port, while the European crop, al- though slightly higher, will probab-
ly be of low grade and the total
quantity of usable grain less than a year ago.
Owing to the floods in the Yang-
tze Valley in China some 135,000.- 000 bushels of wheat will have to be
imported thel'e.
The total crop in North America
is about one hundred million bush-
els less than a year ago, while big reductions seem assured in both
the Argentine Republic and Aus-
tralia. In those two large produc-
ers of the southern hemisphere, acreage sown to wheat has been
materially reduced. In Argentine, where the crop is now advanced about as far as the Canadian west-
em wheat crop would be in June,
locusts are said to have wrought great destruction, while in Austral-
ia. 'the weather is stated to have
been unfavorable to giving the Brain 8 good start.
India, from which country wheat
is often exported, will have about
43,000,000 bushels less than a year ago.
The volume of wheat required
fl'°m the €Xp01`Ul'18 Countries this
year will, it is estimated, be greater by 228,000,000 bushels than last
year, making total probable expo:ts 898,000,000 bushels from a total ex-
portable surplus of 1,072,643,000, 196'/ing H C-Hrryover of approximate- ly 174,100,000 bushels.
In addition, there is the fact that
with United States spring wheat
crop only about 111,000,0000 bushels, and some ofthls durum wheats, thc volume available from that source f°f mixing with soft varieties wlu
bc comparatively small. As canada 15 the 011131 Other important source
from which hard wheat of this var-
iety is available and her crop also 35 Ullht. it is reasonable to expect that such quantity as she has avail-
able for export should sell at a good
premium, especially as it is :eport-
ed to be of good quality nnd high in protein content.
C. N. R. EXPENDITURES
One of the most serious problems
facing Canada. is the enormous
debt of the Canadian National
Railways. This burden upon Can-
adian taxpayers was incurred large- ly during the regime of the Mac-
kenzie King administration, as was
convincingly shown in figures sub- mitted by Mr. George C. Macnon. aid. chaimman of the executive com-
mittee of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, at the recent annual
convention of that body. In study- |r18 the C. N. R.. finances, Mr. Mac-
Donald said, confusion is caused by the fact that in the accounts of the
Government, account is not taken
of interest on loans and advances,
whereas in the companys accounts provision is made for interest on
the gradually increasing operating low, though not on monies advanc-
ed for capital expenditure. The
figure fo: this operating loss has now reached the staggering sum of 8604000000. The addition to the capital liability since 1923 has been $400,000,000. The total of the ad- vances to the Canadian National
Railways, Canadian Government
Merchant Marine, and Canadian
National Steamship; Limited since
uno you uppreciate,” asked Mr.
MacDonald, "the effect of this ex-
penditure on our Federal debt, and that had we not had these enter- prises on our hands since April 1- 1919, there could have been a cor-
responding amount, plus the inter- est on the money advanced for
capital expenditure, available for the reduction of the debt. This would have cur. it aluiost iu heir, u
reduction of approximately '$200
per head of population."
Moreover, a comparison of the op-
erating ilgures for 1923 and 1930 shows no improvement despite the
expenditure of $400,000,000 on cap-
ital in the meantime. The figures are:
1923 1930

Emphasizlng the extravagant ex-
penditures incurred duriiig the per-
iod from isza to isao, Mi-_'Mae Donald quoted from a statement of Premier Bennett in the House of
Commons the following significant remark:
"Yet so far as I was able to os-
certaln, not one single capital :e- quest made by the management of the Canadian National Rail- ways during the last eight years was refused by the late govern- ment."
There appears, Mr. MacDonald
continued, to be no evidence tha
the railway has been conducted
subject to the law of supply and demand. He added:
"For the eight years from 1923
to 1930, the amount available to pay interest was $228,900,000 or an average of $28,612,500 per yeas. This represents 5 per cent on a capitalization or $512,250,000. This is just a little better than paying interest on the new capital ex- penditure during the period.
“The question of recapitaliza-
tion has also been discussed. what would be thought of a capital based on the eaming pow- er shown above, something in the ‘neighborhood of $600,000,000, or about one quarter of the value shown on the books.
f‘If the Canadian National Rail-
ways was anything but a Gov- emment enterprise it would long ago have been subjected to the process of liquidation.
“I have not as yet said any-
thing about the way in which this money has been spent. Every- body knows it has been spent on a lavish scale. Aside from that it may be that the spending of it has not offended against the busi- ness ethics that I have been talk- ing about. I should like to be- lieve that there is nothing to criticise in this regard but I am afraid the glimpse that was given at sittings of the committee dur- ing the recent session precludes this hope.

WILL BENEFIT CANADA
Our local contemporary evidently
sees the error of.its attitude with regard to the ef1'eci: on trade of the depreciation of the Canadian dollar
in the United States. It goes so far, at any rate, as to republish from
the Halifax Liberal organ an edi- torial statement that the drop in
thc British pound automatically gives Britain protection to the ex-
tent of the drop and that "by the same token, what is true of Bri- tain is true of Canada." In other
words, the depreciation of the dol-
lar affords the Canadian producer
'additional protection and_encou1'-
ages more buying of Canadian pro- ducts. This is precisely the theory
which our contemporary, misled by
I American editorial propaganda, pre- viously ridiculed as "absurd.' For
our contemporaryis further enlight- enment, we might refer it to the
following statement in the current ‘issue of The Monetary Times:
"There is little doubt that in
going on the gold basis, Britain has done a wise thing and some- thing which she could have done many months ago with advant- age to herself. The fail in the Canadian dollar likewise will have a. good elect on Canadian trade. Depreeiated currency as is well known and for obvious reas- ons usually encourages export trade while at the sanic time it discourages import trade. This very result by its nal-ure tends io correct the conditions which have brought about the depreciation." ‘

Age Of Barter Returns
Regina Leader)
England is not the first nation
in modem times to suspend the gold standard. United States did it recently in one very considerable item of national business.
Six weeks ago, one of the de*
partmenis of the U. S. A. govern- ment wanted to sell some wheat. The U. S. people are a nation of coffee drinkers. The United States of Brazil wanted to see some cof- fee. The people of Brazil are users of wheat.
In the ordinary way of doing
business the coffee planters of Brazil sell their coffee for gold to the cofiee grlnders of the United Stat/es and the wheat merchants of Un'ted Sfates sell their wheat to millsrs in Brazil for gold. For the purpose of expediting trade, rnone~ tary systems have been introduced. 'I‘he whole variety of inter-na.tlon- al purchases are finally liquidated and balancsd through the inter- national bankers.
Howevcr, United States and
France have locked up two-thirds of all the available gold in the world, while at the same time France is demanding reparation payments in gold from Germany, and United States is demanding payment of all her war-debts from
these days, than the so-called wealthy. At least the poor appear to have far less worries.

Crerar, speaking at a convention of Liberals of Morden- nhineland constituency, which nominated oi-. o. w. weibe, or Winkler, as the party candidate ii hopes will be able to reclaim the seat held for twenty years by Hon. Valentine Winkler, made a. vl80¥' ous attack on the Bracken Govern- ment. Mr. Crerar sounded _a warn- ing against the growing tendency on the pm or the public fo 1°°l= to governments for assistance, and charged that the Bracken adminis- tration was not aware of the dang- es that await in this direction. The most serious question was that of maintaining a financial equili- brium. Municipal and provincial expenditures were growing rapidly. and while it must be conceded that there was a great deal of unemploy- ment in some parts, it was neces- sary to call a halt to the idea a- mong the people that the Govern- ment must, look after them.
In connection with relief work.
the Winnipeg Tribune returns to its charge that unemployment fugures were padded in Manitoba, probably by one-half as regards the province outside of Winnipeg. The trlbune says that the reasons for this are now becoming apparent- the Government is bidding for political support rather than hav- ing regard for relief funds and is accepting extravsgent estimates from municipalities. An election is in the effing and the Government is holding out the bait to the municipalities, who are vieing one, with another to get a share of the ohéap money. Public works and roads are having money spent on them “where the _money can be spent to good political advantage and without relation tp the num- -ber. of men actually in want." ,There is squandering while some desperate cases are not being re- lieved. such is the indictment.
The Tribune is a Conservative
newspaper, while the Bracken Government depends upon United Farmers. If the accusations are correct it means that discreditable tactics are be'ng employed as a means of retaining power, In an _enlightened province such conduct may act as a boomerang when SIGMOD day comes. The Conserva- i»_1v°° are a good second in the as lembly how and may make an even better showing in the next election. The Bracken administration, in its own interests, should meet the, very ser'ous charges made by its `op_p,onents. -- l

_John Dryden (inn oouiuryl
(Exchange) - Mr. J. Mercer Denholme, editor of
the Blenheim (Ontario) News-Trb bune, after a_m0t0ri!lK f»0\1Y °f E53' land told an audience in Chatham that "courtesy" was the rule of the road there. Elaboratinz on his im- premion the Chatham News. Whiiih seems to speak with personal know- ledge of the subiept. his the f°1' lowing:
“Every motorist seems to be con-
sidering the interests of the other fellow in England. If one driver notices a car coming from the rear and another approaching from the front, and realizes that it would be dangerous for the fellow behind to try to pass, ‘he holds out his hand. The man behind recosllilr-il that there ix danger ahead, and' he doesn’t try to pass-not until the man in front waves him to come 011. There is no such thing as 'cutting- in' on the English highways. Motor- ists speed up or slow down. as occa- sion demands, to protect the .lives of their fellow-motorists. 'I‘he custom is English, and it's courteous.”
The appalling rudeness of many
drivers in Canada and the United States is a. remarkable feature of the crowded highways. It is a case literally of every man for himself and the motorist who “cuts in," who speeds dangerously or on the other hand drives so slowly that traffic is impeded, abounds and flourishes amidst the curses of those who wish to drive sanely and safely.
We are all in too great a hurry to
get on to be courteous, apparently. We should be spared many accl- dents. many of us would live long- er end more happily, if there were more courtesy among motorists, more thought for the safety of the other fellow and ourselves.
