Commerce and Agriculture

The interrelation between com-‘convicts, and severe punishment ior

meroe and agriculture was empha- sized at a conference oi the agricul- tural committee of tile Canadian Chamber of Commerce, held last month at Regina and attended by delegates from every Province inclu- ding Prince Edward Island, when a resolution was unanimously adopted suggesting that there should be set up within the Chamber a National Bureau of Agriculture under the di- rection oi recognized experts. This resolution will be laid before the next meeting oi tlie Chamber's na- tional executive for consideration, and it is npccted to have iar reach- ing results. Commenting on the resolution, the Commerce oi’ the Nation, oiiiclal or- gan.of the Chamber, expresses the bellei that such a Bureau can ren- der very valuable service to Canad- ian agriculture and business by mak- ing available to agriculturlsts and business men findings and recom- mendations which would commend themselves as sound national pro- cedure and inspire greater confidence on the part oi producers, middlemen and consumers. d Among the Bur- eau's duties would be the surveying oi the whole question oi agricultural production, marketing, research, eduosfion, grading, standardisation. stc., and in addition it would, through the Chamber's contacts. keep Ilols touch with the local Boards oi Trade and Chambers oi Commerce ul ol-ovl-‘ul implement and assist the work of agricultural committees in tiled-various Canadian communities. Other resolutions passed at the Regina conference recommended the appointment by the Federal Depart- ment oi Agriculture of a committee oi man familiar with the economics of agriculture, one of whom would be the Director of the Bureau oi Agricultural Economics, to survey the agricultural situation in Canada and r ommend policies applicable to Canadian agriculture. One fears, however, that a committee so ap- pointed would be inadequate to deal with a problem oi such magnitude. The consideration oi policies appli- cable to Canadian agriculture neces-

sarily involves consideratlon of\the issue most vital to the farmers oi this country, namely, the tarin; and there the committee would run up A commit- tee appointed by the Federal Gov- ernment would be a committee in- clined more or less to support the‘ 111:) "Kicy oi the Government in

A Warning Example

Commenting on the humanualian aspect oi the fearful tragedy at Columbus, Ohio. in which more than l00 convicts perished by fire“, the

lesion Post says:

"The picture oi our prisons as it has been revealed by the successive investigations into these outbreaks we one taken irom the darkest

oi course, is thatcrime is decreasing

in England while it isfiarmingly in-

creasing in the United States. The

attempt to eniorce the Volstead law,

which is said to account ior '70 per

cent oi the increased prison popula-

tion, is charged with other and more

serious consequences. Since 1000, ac-

cording to the Philadelphia Ledger,

in thirty-one American cities, with

an aggregate population oi 40,000,000

the homicide rate has doubled. Thirty years ago deaths irom violence in

these cities numbered ilve per 100,000

population. Last year the rate was

ten. The figures ranged irom sixty-

six ior Memphis and fifty-one ior Birmingham and Atlanta to 8.4 for Philadelphia, 'l.l for New York and

12.7 ior Chicago. Contrast these iig-

ures with those ior the thirteen lead- ing Canadian cities, where the homi- cide rate decreased irom 21 in 1918 to 1.3 in 1928. The rate for Montreal was 1.4. During that year there was only one homicide in the city oi Quebec. The rate for all England and Wales in 1928 was 0.5.

Sound Business Dogma

A iorgotton passage irom Ruskin is republished in a. British Columbia exchange with the suggestion that it should be hung over the door oi every commercial establishment in Canada. It reads:

"There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who con- sider price only are this man's lawful prey."

We can purchase, not only com- mercial products, but everything in llie at a cheaper rats than the mar- ket valuc, but it generally costs us more in the end,

Editorial Notes

In answer to a question asked in the House oi Commons at Ottawa, it was stated that imports of agricul- tural implements were $ll,’l5B,49l in 192i and $40,292,899 in i920.

A marathon record ior continuous piano playing was established by a Vienna pianist who thumped the instrument ior eighty-nine hours. When he started talking to himself he was dragged irom the stool.

Teacher delegates to the Ontario

Educational Association convention. says a Toronto Exchange, learned at least one thing that they will pond- er over in amazement. They heard that "the most important person irl national llie, holding the highest po- sitlon, commanding the beat salary, with assurance oi a liberal pension ior his old age," is the teacher. But, uniortunatcly, this is in Denmark.

The spirit oi Boy Scout organisa- tions wss strikingly sxemplifie‘ in an incident reported recently in the New Brunswick press. Carmen Caul- fleld, a 14-year-old Boy Scout, "emu- lating the sterling characters oi his own recent school essay on Canad- ian Heroism," sacrificed his liie in a vain endeavour in rescue a comrade, twelve years oi age, irom drowning in Bellevedere Lake.

We note that the Liberals oi New Brunswick are cautiously preparing for their provincial election. A sig- nificant plank in their platform is a promise to call a. plebiscite on pro- hlbition and government control nit- er the election. Ii they had the cour- age of their professed convictions they would have made prohibition an issue in the coming election. A plebiscite six months after the elec- tion will be harmless even ii carried out. Ii, as is declared by prohibition- ists in that province, government control has proved such a curse, why not test public opinion on the sub- ject at the impending election?

A London letter says: Amongst Conservatives is much quiet specu- lation as to Mr. Churchill's immcdq iate destiny. That Mr. Baldwin may not desire to bear the heat and bur- den oi leadership a great deal long- er is pretty shrewdly recognized. l-le has thrown out hints to that eiiect be- fore now. will his mantle (all on Mr. Churchill's shoulders or will Mr. Neville Chamberlain be promoted? 1t is the conviction oi Winston's friends that some day. he will be Prime Minister, and thus realize his‘ last ambition, and there is no burl:- ing the fact that, despite certain suspicions dus to his changes oi par- ty allegiance snd hostilities to his iormer iree trade sympathies, Mr. Churchillb personality looms most eflsctually o!’ all on the present Op- position front bench. Both as a de- bater and platform speaker, he is the strongest man now in the ranks o! Conservatism.

The an. losses m ‘the Dornlnlbh last year included 1,414 lives and a property loss oi $40,000,000. The Canadian‘ Chamber oi Commerce has undertaken to organize a na- tional fire prevention campaign, and is soliciting the assistance and co- operation of the Boards of Trade land other organizatlons. That such a campaign is sorely needed in Can- any. is evidenced by the fact that our annual losses from this cause alone amount approximately to $100,000,000. ‘

And yet one individual can eat a largo amount oi meat and very iew vegetables and be free from decayed teeth, whilst another can live entirely on vegetables and have no pyorrhoca. .
