Before the Torifl’ Board

Among the witnesses before the Tarifl Advisory Board on Wednes- . diy was the Rev. Father Leon Lebel. 8 J., of Quebec. In view of the in- ainuation in the Liberal press that the motive behind the request of the dairymen of ‘Canada for _tarif! protection against New zealand but- terrilnportatlons is purely political, “then LebeYs evidence is worth noting. The reverend gentleman said he spoke for 15,000 farmers in Quebec who were sllllpflrting the application at“. the National Dairy Council. It was nocuss y, he stated. that the liming industry should be placed m e plying basis. as many young memwere leaving the farms on ao- count of economic conditions. The ciyt .of implements increased loo. per cent, in recent years and the cost ofvllivlng was eo per cent higher war. theIother hand, some strange IICUItIIiIMeIe _ advanced against fislllllieaohlnan, purporting to rep- : “ consumers‘ League of t it’ ,_eonteMed that the develop- W ‘tifleliifotor cached induced

better right to go ‘joy-ridlnfl" m" thc farmers?" To which the chair- man of the Commission vixwoliily replied: "Here. here."

An interesting point was brought out by the president of the Dairy Council when he explained that lt costs only two cents a pound to bring New Zceland butter to Montreal while it cogts three cents a pound to bring Alberta butter to Montreal; thus the existing tariff of one cent per pound against New Zealand but- tel was wiped out by the differen- tial in the freight rate. This is an ar- gumcnt that Liberal free-traders in the west will nnd difficult to answer. The freight rates east and west from the central Canadian markets act exactly like a protective tariff, only in this case it is the foreign produc- er that is being protected and the home producer that is being shut out When the greater expense of winter production of the home product is also considered. the case against the present tariff arrangement with New Zealand looks strong indeed.

The Navy Still Necessary

The Navy, the organ of the Navy League, published in London. in its January number hasva New Year message which is of interest at a time when disarmament, or, rather. reduction in armament. is to the fore. The Navy, in making its case. recalls that in the first three months of the World War. the German cruiser Emden destroyed British shipping to the value of 510,000,000, while in the same period the Karl- sruhe captured 10 ships with a to- tal tonnage of 83,701. While this was going on, 70 British cruisers were in pursuit of the Emden and 41 were after the Karlsruhe. The enemy ves- sels were finally brought t0 book. These happenings. comments the Navy, most clcarlylillustratc the "in- disputable fact that the cruiser re- quirements of the British Empire cannot be measured by the naval strength of other nations." The con- ditions that must govern cruiser re; quircments, ~contlnues the Navy, are thz length and importance of Brit.- ish trade routes, their vulnerability. and the immense difficulty of bring- ing to action hostile commerce raid- ers. This is the view of the British naval authorities, and it Le shared by the pubic in general. for the man l-ln the strecflt realizes the extent of _tl".e shipping which goes to all quar- ters of the world. and the necessity of protecting it from raiders in time of war in which big powcrs arcin- vulved. The sca commerce that the Empire dcpcnds upon would ‘not flow freely if there were no cruisers to give protection in times of interna- tional stress]

The Navy also reminds its readers that. in December last. Chinese pir- ates, disguised as passenge s. at- tempted to capture the British steamer Halchlng. belonging to the Douglas Steamboat Company, and run her into the Bias Boy, a wcll- known pirate haunt. The officers re- sisted the assault Ofl the bridge, but so desperate was the fight that the third officer, K. A. Wordward, lost his life. While the battle was raging and the posengers were in a state of tcrror. 50S calls were sent out by the wireless operator, which calls brought the destroyers Sterling and Berspis to the scene- 'I‘he BrltLsh tars boarded the l-Iaiching, suppressed the pirates and put opt the fire the had started.

\ Senator Ilorsh in a recent speech stated that every hour which Prem- ier MacDonald spent on his mission to America in the interest of world peace, the two Ilmglish speaking na- tions were each expending over $60.- 000 in preparation for war. He also stated that there are more men un- der arms now than at any time in the world's history. 1n this year e4,- 300000000 will be spent by the na- tions for the instrumentalities of war. ‘

Still more extraordinary seems the situation when we recall that these nations have all signed a trea- ty plcdging themselves never to seek settlement of international contro- versies through other than peaceful means. War is denounced, discarded and damned-in the treaty- But war expenditures increase.
