Saturday was a red letter in the history of the British Empire. On that day were signed the trade agreements resulting ‘ from four weeks of negotiation at the ImlH-l"

ial Economic Conference. Each ‘M. ~

delegation is going home with some concrete advantages in return for concessions given to other parts of the Empire. But no section of the Empire has greater cause for satis- faction with the results achieved than have the Maritime Provinces _.whioh, as the Canadian Press states, stands to reap a lionb share of the benefits. That the Bennett Government has kept a watchful eye on Maritime interests in its negotiations, may be judged from the preferences granted Canada on

the following farm products by the united Kingdom:

Raw apples: Four and a half shil- lings per hundredweight, (more than a dollar a barrel under exist- ing exchange rates).

Canned apples: Three and a half shillings per huudredweight, ad- dition to the duty in respect of su- gar content. '

Dried fruits: (Now dutiable at seven shillings) ten and a half shillings per hundredweight,

Raw pears: Four and a half shil- lings per hundredneight.

Butter: i5 shillings per hun- tiredweight.

Cheese: _l5 per cent ad valorem.

Eggs: Small, medium and large. one shilling, one and a half and one shilling nine pence per great hun- dred, respectively.

Condensed milk: Whole, sweet- ened, five shillings per hundred- weight, in addition to the duty in respect of sugar content.

Free entry for eggs, poultry, but- ler, cheese and other milk products to continue for three years in any event, after that subject to revis- lon if desirable.

Continuation of the ten per cent ad valorem preference on timber oi all kinds from Canada, fresh sea fish, canned salmon and other can- ned fish, with the additional ad- vantage of removal of competition by countries in which these indus- tries are state controlled._

Continuation after Nov. 15, 1932, of free entry to the United King- dom oi all goods now free} under the Import Duties Act of 1932, sub- ject to the reservations set forth above with respect to eggs, poultry and milk products.

Removal oi present restrictions on importation of live cattle from Canada.

Free entry of bacon and hams up to a maximum of 2,500,000 hundred- weight per annum.

Potatoes: Embargo to be lifted on Dec. lst unless in meantime an rxamination by United Kingdom ‘experts of the handling of the Canadian crop proves that there is a danger of potato bugs being car- ried to Great Britain, ,

Governments of non-seli-govem- lng colonies and protectorates to be invited by the United Kingdom government to accord to Canada the same preferences as accorded by the mother country.

“A MAN 0F REAL SIZE"

What has impressed the world more than anything else during the negotiations at the Imperial Econ- omic Conference has been the con- sistent attitude of the Canadian Prime Minister. He had declared, at the outset, that Canada sincerely desired closer trade relations within the Empire and his whole energies were devoted, night and day, to achieving this end. Obstacles there were which at times seemed insur- mountable. Crlticism there was imp the opposition press, both inthis

which might have dampened the spirit and enthusiasm of any states- man. That criticism, for the most part, was grossly unfair. It was based on rumors and seemed mal- iciously designed to antagonize es-

ANOTHER GOOD THING

that there is such a thing as Can- adian trade, and that this trade cannot be penalized and flouted without consequences. Thus, almost every day during the past few weeks United States newspapers have come out with editorial 1a- ments that anything should happen to disturb the natural flow of trade on this continent, and there are suggestions that if a. Democratic administration should be returned next November one of its first acts will be to open trade negotiations with Ottawa.

EDITORIAL NOTES

“Tonighfs the night" at the Pro. vinclal Exhibition opening.

The agitators and prophets of gloom are now seeking 1mstures1 ‘new. 'I‘lie success of the Imperial Conference has been a great dis- appointment to them.

The Toronto Globe notes that “Prince Edward Island, scrcnest of Provinces, beautiful and untroub- led, while the smallest Province, has the largest 1icrccntage of old folk, with 1.80 per cent. of its total pop- ulation over eighty. This fact dc- monstratcs not only the healthful- ness of the Island, but the social tragedy of the movement of the more eager younger generation seeking their fortune in other parts of the Dominion, as wcll as in other lands."

there would have been no need at all for this conference to be held. Daily, various newspapers have played up in eight column streamer headlines, knotty puzzles that were the very reason for the conference being called and that were not new obstacles, come to light only when the statesmen of the Empire fore- gathered."
