Government's fiscal policy, and its effect upon immigration and Can- adian employment. Liberal statis- ticians are feverishly figuring the alleged percentage of Canadian ex- ports fabricated in Canada, the per- centage of raw material imported into Canada, in which they in- clude tropical fruits and tropical products which are not produced inl Canada. Of course they figure it‘ out to show that Canadian home‘ manufactured exports are steadily; growing and that imports from for-i eign countries are decreasing. For.‘ ‘ we take it. will take much stock in this feverish and panicky figuring/l The damning fact‘ is that Canndzil offers no employment sufficient to‘ induce immigrants to remain here! after they come and that Canada! offers no inducement to its own sons and daughteis to remain here. It will require a good deal oi’ in- genious figuring to show that this condition is satisfactory to Cami-i dlans, n good deal of dodging also to show that the King Govern- ment's fiscal policy is not responsi- ble for it.

Mr. Bennett has placed his fin- ger on the cause ol the disabilities under which Canada is silfferillg, he

This is what has set Liberal fig-F

The charge would not down. however. and they are now trying to figure itdowu as a misre- presentation. Thc failure to keep our immigrants here and to give employment here are todpalpabll: a proof of the inadequacy’ of the King policy to meet Canada's quirements and to keep Canada from going behind in the interna- tional race.

The people want the facts not hot air figuring and they have the facts before them in the constant exodus. No ingenious figuring will offset the fact that we have no employment for our sons and daughters and too many Canadians know to their cost what this means. What Canada needs today more than anything else is a Government at Ottawa which will use its fiscal policy and its legislation for the benefit of Canada. not to keep any party in office. And it is growing more evi- dent day by clay that this is the kind of Government Mr. Bennett will give when he comes into the premiership.

OUR ROADS.

WE are being deluged with com-

plaints about the present con- dition of the roads. The complaints include both omission and commis- aion. Some of the roads, notably that from Sherwood to Bracklcy. have not been touched this Spring, and are in a deplorable condition, cars getting bogged daily and the whole road practically impassable. In previous years this road was al- ways kept in good condition from early Spring till late in the Autumn. The Road Master, whose territory was tho school district, .-had the old- fashioned split log drag run over the road early in the Spring. the road perfectly smoothedand surfac- ed by hardening clay. ‘rhls year the

RES ULTS.

CCORDING to a statement just

macle_'by A. P. Patterson, Pre- siclclit of the Transportation Com- mission of the Maritime Board of the Halifax Herald. Maritime shippers benefited to tlic extent $2,400,031.27 in eight months a resillt. of reduced freight rates in line with the re-

of as

lport. This is the saving ili that pc- ocl through the operation oi‘ The Maritime Freight Rates Act.

It is a direct result of the Mari- time Rights Cum|)f1igll~—ll._lld that saving alone, for the first eight months. justifies every effort that. has been put forth in behalf of tiles‘: provinces. It is but. one phase of the Maritime movement and its re- sults. but an exceptionally import_ ant phase. The results are only what has been. due the Maritimcs; and now that they arebeing real- ized onc's imagination is challeng- ed by the thought of what our loss must have totalled during the years of discrimination against this part

of Canada. -———<Q0->———— " ' A DISTINCTION.

HE parliamentary correspondent of the Ottawa Journal says: “Hon. W. D. Euler. Minister National Revenue. hasn't used a private railway car since he has as- sumed his portfollo. The is the per- quisite of a cabinet minister. but one that Mr. Euler hasn't taken ad-

of

vantage of."

Congratulations. Mr. Euler. Pbs- sibly the fact that you were a “struggling newspaperman" has

something to do with it. You had yoilr training in a school whose members are not strong for private cars and such luxuries-at the ex- pensc of the public.
