Major Strange’:

N0 one has undertaken to count the hundreds of pages of Hansard filled with parliamentary debate on the tariff question. If the job 1n- cludcd counting the thousands of llflv-‘iPaPer columns devoted to this issue during the 165i two or three decades, the task would be end- less. 'l'lic wzir having brought about a Pffivctifill sci-zipping of iziriff barriers among the Lnited Nations, the subject of tariffs is now ‘only of agadcnjig interest. Its post-war implicalwfli. however, are of great practical nmportance. _lt “'35 with this phase of the subject that MQIJQY Strange, of \.Viiinipeg, dealt on Wednesday night at the government dinner tendered to the mem- bers 0f the Canadian Seed Growers’ Associa- tion. _

An uncompromising free-trritler, AIHJOI" Strange had nothing but criticism for C81i€1d85 Paft" cipation iii the tariff struggle following the ‘Fir-Si: “world War. Yet he gave agood and sufficient reason himself \\'ll(‘ll he said it was the Fordney- ‘McCnmher tariff sci up in the United States m 193;; which “startctl the ball rolling." This tariff raised the entire structure of the United States against the importation of foreign goods by an average of 38.5 per cent. A few years later United States, thinking they had not made their tariffs high enough, put on the Smoot-Haivley tariff which raised the average rates against foreign goods (Canada's included) an additional 52.8 per cent. Canada followed suit in 1930. and was in turn followed by Auiiifallfl. Alien‘ tine, Brazil and other countries. _

The result of all this, Major Strange said, was to lower living standards and start the’ ywlollyél- circle of “nationalism" and “self-sufficiency. fIhe question he left unanswered is, What 6011111 Canada have done about it? There were the two gallows-high tariff barriers erected against our goods entering the neighbouring Republic. Were we justified in protecting ourselves against this ruinous discrimination, or should we-have fol- lowed a policy of appeasement? are in warfare. Is there that they vipuld_ have _ ent in the economic sphere? Major Strange didn't suggest any, and from such an able speaker this omission was. t0 say the least, signi- iicarit. _ _

After the war it may be p0$51b1¢._1fl ll"? ‘Wfds of the. Atlantic Charter. for all nations to enjoy "access on equal terms to the trade and raw ma- terials of the world.” Even during the depres- sion years-the years 0f cut-throat competition and high tariffs—a start was made in this direc- tion among the nations of the British Common- wealth. Canada UfidCr the Bennett Government took ihc initiative in this movement. The result was the Empire Trade Agreements of I932. which undoubtedly led to the modified tariff policy subsequently adopted at Washington.

Ilui we know that crving “peace, peace" is not sufficient insurance to take out against a belligerent neighbor.

Change on Farms

Anyone who might think that agriculture in Canada is an unchanging industry has only to glance at the report made to a Parliamentary Committee by Dean .-\. .\l. Shaw, head of the Agricultural Supplies Board, to lczirii of the (li- vcrsificntiou that war has brought to Canadian farming.

Sunflowers are being grown on hundreds of thousands of ncrcs as an "oil crop"; flax is being cultivated for its oil and fibre; a large area has been planted to a South American species of rape seed, to provide marine oil; Russian dan- delions and milluvcctl are being grown experi- mentally, for rubber production. In addition to this, vast areas which formerly grew wheat now are growing coarse grains to maintain the coun- try's livestock production.

War has brought changes to industrial plants, many of which are producing goods that are totally unlike their prc-ivar products. The farm, too, has heard the call to vary its production and, as Dean Shaw has demonstrated, is giving its full-cooperation to the war effort.

What Planes Cost

A recent statement by Licut. Com. H. D. Riley of the U. S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics before the House Appropriations Committee re- vealed that the cost of military airplanes has risen sharply since America entered the war.

Commander Riley said that in 1041 a standard Navy fighter cost $74,825. By i943 this hnd jumped 50 pcr ccnt to $112,205, due mainly in {ncrcnserl costs of labor and materials. The fact that the 1943 plane is superior to that of 1941 also“ affects the cost.

Some of the 1942 jirices of planes include:
