New Trade Negotiations

iHon. H. H. Stevens, hfinisicr of Trade and Conlmcrcc, has formally‘ announced that negotiations are ill progress for. a trade treaty between Canada and Soutll Africll. In 1920, Canada exported 511000.000 worth of goods to South Africa, consisting chiefly of wheat, rubber tires, iilrul implements, lumber and llcivsplint. There is a large lunrkct in the South African Union for tllcsc commodities, which are Canada's staple products. A reciprocal com- mercial treaty bctwecn these two Dominlons would bc a benefit to both, and an important develop- ment in the direction of intro-Em- pire trade.

Premier Bcllllcit luls cabled the

New Zcalnnd Prime Ailinister offer- ing to consider a trade agreement with that Dominioll similar ill its general features to the Canadian Australian pact. If these iutra Em- pire trade conventions continue to be developed by the Bennett Gov- ernment-there may be little lcft for the postponed Ililpcrizil Coll- !erence to do hilt to civc 11s salic- tion to the achievements of Domin- ion statcsmanship.

f" (ingress Disparngcd

In Cllrxatla and other British countries when a natlunni emer- uzrzlci’ rlrircs tile dcllllmd goes forlh lint Pnrlianlcnt shall be sum- moncd. in the United States, how- cvcr, the assembling of Congress in special session seems to be regard- cd as almost a national calamity. In a recent issue of the Boston Transcript an editorial article be- gins as follows:

“It is a remarkable situatlirn which finds the American people, or large clement of them, dreading tile next session of their national Congress as nev- cl" before. Conlpcsed chiefly of politicians whose highest ambi- tion is to are-elect themselves, Crlllgrcss i5 prepared. with a mul- titude of illans for spending the puhl-c mom-y, wllile tile admin- istration is placed ill tllc exceed- iuuly uucoulfortable position of’ iryiilg to prevent it from doing

it."

Congress will normally reas- scnlble in December, and with the qucstion still unsettled as to which party will control, and a battle in’: the silcakcrship impending, it will probably be New Year's before it can get down to business- Obvious- ly if Congress is expected to do anything important affecting un- culploymeilt; it can hardly have much effect upon this Winter's ilrcbl-un. It is on this account that here and there one notes a demand ‘for a special session to be called lfor Scpiclnbcr. But this demand is mudc by the more liberal m" ladi- cal nvzlgdzines, and never by large and influential nclvspapsr; to whom it ivould appear that the ilcrulaucnt failure 0f Congress ever zlgain to assemlzilc would bc perhaps the greatest blessing ‘which cculd be voucllsafcd the zlntlon.

Editorial Notes

The only Liberal Government in the Dominion of Canada was rc- turucd in the Quebec elections on Monday. This will assure its pre- servation as a museum specimen.

"It is indeed a strange turn of fate," says our local contemporary, “to see Lloyd George and Baldwin in the same cabinet, serving under the Laborite lender." 1t would ho stranger still if it were true. 'I‘l1e:c has been no indication that Lloyd George is likely to sit in the Brit- ish coalition cabinet.

‘An article in tho current Maga- zine of Wall Street points out that England is now the United States’ leading customer, having passed a- head even of canada.‘ Last year England bought more than $670,- 000,000 worth of goods from United States exporters, and sold to the United States more than $200,000,- 000 in return. In addition, United States investors have over $500,- 000,003 in British industries, while scores of American firms have 9X- tellsivo branches in the British Isles. The readiness with which American bankers responded to re- cent English pleas for new credit accommodations is easily explain- cd in the light of these facts. What helps English business will help American business also.

Russia has found at least one competitor prepared to meet her in a foreign market. Rumania has been selling softwood lumber in Egypt ten per cent. cheaper than Egyptian buyers had paid to Rus- sia, and as a result the buyers of the Russian product have had to reduce their prices and an associa- tion of buyers has been dissolved.

Discussing the round-up of Com- munists of Ontario the London Free Press says: “A Canadian who has recently returned from Russia informs us that he saw maps in the headquarters of the Russian soviet- ism-u place he was not supposed to be-with the Communistic cent- res they were assisting marked. There were a number of Canadian places indicated, including his home city of Calgary."

There are some people who ex- press the view that to call too much attention to the Communists is to assist them ill their nefarious work, and that to prosecute them is to make them appear as martyrs and so gain still more sympathy for them. Of courso free speech is desirable, but when a, man talks treason it is time to call a halt. Canada is a young country, going its way peacefully and upholding certain ideals which cannot be re- conciled with Sovietlsm. RilSsla ls at liberty to make her great ex- periment and no other coun- try thinks of meddling with her affairs. Some of them even permit her to injure their industries by dumping her products in their market. Whether it be true or not that she supplies funds to promote disorder__in Canada or not, this country would be better off if every Communist agitator could be sent to Russia on a one-way ticket.

Great Britain is not a. Europ- ean State. She is a great overseas Power. Her trading position is un- equalled by nny other nation. Sc strong is tllat position that a reso- lutc, courageous Government, work- ing closely with the heads of fin- ance, commerce, and trade union- ism, coul; create a. vast, self-con- tained trading unit. that would en- sure prosperity for years to come. The undeveloped lands of our col- ohies that can give us raw mater- ials and do not compete with us in- dustrially are an endless reservoir of wealth. The growing markets of our Dominions hold the future in their grasp-London Daily Ex- press.

ELECTION BUN GLING, ETC.

Sil',——$ince the election is now] over and as is usual in any case. right must will. I would like to soy a few words on the manner in which the past local election was conduct- ed. . Usually (or a general election either Federal or local there is proclamations posted all over the country. There may have been one in each district, but I don't think more than one. Then again, the ballots were printed in a very careless man- ner. In the Second District of Prince, some of them had "Mr. Dennis, Farmer, Conway? "Mr. Ramsay, Trader, O‘Leary." But the chief ground of complaint I speak now of two polls that I knewygf. The Councillor candidates were on one ballot, the franchise on the other. When a. voter entered the poll he or she was Just given the franchise ballot. Now, Sil', you are aware there are quite a lot of peo- ple who canpot read very easily, and if some people are not very well versed in the goings on of the clay, they should be instructed; that is the duty of any Deputy Returning officer.
