\

fora going out of office, our local‘

contemporary reverts to another matter which it has striven persist- lntlv to misrepresent. 'l'his is the rvemonsibility for the U. S. tariff in-

ases. As every‘ cnekliows, these '

increases were made while the Mac- kenzie King government was in power at Otis/we, and resulted ir. ‘ ‘ g Mr. King to go to thdcoun- try on a "countervailing" policy un- der the Dunning budget-a retails- tory measure pure and simple. What thenisthepolrltinsayingthattlio Liberals are the tariff reducers and “are willing to make the reciprocity hsue one of the big planks in their platform in the coming election"? When our contemporary says "it ls doubtful if the subject will receive much favorable consideration from the present government" it is guilty of a gross misstatement since negoti- ations have been under way for sev- eral months and the Prime Minister has clearly intimated his desire for a reciprocal agreement which will he iair to Canadian producers. It now rests with the United States government, which was responsible for shutting out our products in the first Place. Rewsliltion of this fact is necessary before any intelligent appeal to the electors on this issue can be made. This is admitted by raponaible newspapers of both polit- ical libel.

For analnpie, the Winnipeg Free

Press, leading Liberal newspflber cf Western Canada, s "_, commen- ted on the "issue" which our cou- temporary raises. and placed the responsibility fairly and squarely on Washington. It saw hope in the fact that the United States government nu been taught a lesson by the falling of! in the U. S. trade with Canada and expressed the belief that “in the near future negotin‘ -- now in NOBNes at Washington and 0t- tawa" (compare the Patriot mis- statement!) "will be successful in widening the area oi reciprocal trade between the two countries." ‘ The Free Press feels too much responsibility toits readers to evade the fact that it was under the Mac- kenzie King regime that prohibitive U. S. tariffs were imposed against us, w that the trade balance at that time was greatly in United States’ favour. It says in part:

An inspection of the figures can- not but suggest reflections. First as to the short-sightodness of the Asuarlclns in refusing to be satis- fied h 1000 with the trade rela-

y»... dial which then existed between

‘ Canada and u» United States. m that yeas- Canada was the best ous- tamer flint the United States had in the whole world, taking goods to the vslue of $888,012,929. ,
