Censervatives as WCII as Liberals, too, will welcome the news of Justice Minister Gar» son's election in Marquilte. Mr. Garson rec- ently visited this PIOViWcC, arid made a very favorable impression in a non-political address which he gqvc qr- u Rotary Club luncheon. His attitude on the freight rates question is in per- fect agreement vilh the vicws h",':l by both ma- jor- pqltleg in this section of Canada.

A. Continuous Problem

Noting that dairy organization: are appre- hensive with regard to the etlect of the mar- garin: decision, the. Ottawa Journal predicts that it will Iﬂrll? riioiitlis, possihlv 0 year or riiurC, before the full ¢lf:i.ts of tliij. ilecisruii rirc lelt. The new irroduct will tome u" the‘- "utrl-"l Flor“ ly, as seeniiriglv only one liirii iii Cuiicida i"- ptepored to stiirl iriaiiirfortirre at truce. As therc is a l<newn shortage of butter, despite iiizriortw estimated at L'€i'Wi’.‘.C!t ton arid lifter" iiiilliaii pounds, any immediate collapse in the butter mqrket i; unlikely. The effect will be river: llfl~ parent in the late Sprinq when fiiisli production starts and it bcccnies known liow much ma. garinc coir he l‘l‘Oflll(.C(l iii Canada.

The. Supicme Court decision by nu nieuirs ends the 75-year-old iciitiorcrsy, the Jour- nal points out. There is still tire attitude of pro- vinciol governments to be decided. whether larni organizations or the Government or any one of these will take the matte.- to the Privy Council on appeal, and regulations to control manufac- ture and sale. The vihole matter will almost cer- tainly come up for debate at the next session of the Commons when nralters such as coloring rind taxes will have to be decided.

Whether margarine should be sold colored as butter or in its natural or bleached state and whether any sort of taxes should be levied oii the product is bound to be a matter of bitter debate. Coloring is now the cliief bone of con- tention between the dairy organizations and lii-t margarine manufacturers in the United States. The dairyriien tiierc have [rtfilllifllly agreed t-i withdraw all their cbiectiizns to special taxes on oleo provided the-c is a complete prohibition against it being sold colored yellow as is irll bur- fer. Their argiiirient is that this coloring is the public’; only protection against fraud and iiiii- tation and the only way tlic public can be sur: of getting birtter when they (ire willing to pay for it.

The fact should not be lost sight of lliat Canada's Supreme Court dccisieii previdCS only for manufacture of margarine licre, that the right to stop imports wcs upheld. This means that all of the product sold licr: must be of domestic make. Just haw iiiuch margarine can be made in Canada from oils available? TINY!‘ is a known surplus of linseed oils in Canada but other oils suitable for margarine are not plen- tiful and oils are stil.‘ under international con- trol, although Canada lies asked for on lfi~ creased supply. It is mcrc than likely that any large quantity of margarine could be manu- factured iri Caiicda only at ills lillpcnfc °l 5l'°'l" cning and soaps.

The Winasor Star argues that mast peop'c \\ill still prefcr butter, if they can purchase it ut anything like a reasonable price.

Margarine was seld in Canada during the first war, the ban being lifted from I9I7 to I923 inclusive.

The most margarine consumed in one year was in I920, when Canadians consumed 14,900,- 000 pounds, of which 6,500,000 pounds were prrr~ duced in Canada. But, in that some year Car".- adiaiis prarlircezl 2I5,030,000 pounds of liiittcr.

In I923, the last year of legal sali", the Canadian consumption of riiargarine had fullcii to 3,300,000 pounds, of which 2,I00,00'J pounds has been produced in Canada. In that same year Canadian production of butter reached 262,800,000 pounds.

The importance of the issue to doirymen is indicated by the fact that half of the milk pro- duced in Canada goes into butter. And, the but- ter Industry accounts for cbout $50,000,000 of the annual $400,000,000 business done by all dairy industries in Cunj ',

When Mrs. R. E. Mutch several years ago urged in letters to Public Forum that Boxing Day should be observed in the stores because of the laborious pie-Christmas days and late nights, especially on Christmas Eve, the stores then kept open till 9 or II P. M. It is a differ- ent story now, no very late hours, and Boxing Day to be observed as a provincial holiday.

This from The Financial Post will be read with interest and appreciation here: "These Ca- nadian cities whose sole aim seems ta be to grow bigger and bigger might well consider the case of Edinburgh. The Scottish capital is content with its present modest proportions. It is quite willing to let much larger Glasgow get the lion's share of new industry and new population. Edin- burgh prefers to mature gradually, to retain its beauty and its spuciousriess. In this day and age of bustle, grime arid congestion there is a lcsson to be offered in the contentment of Edin- burgh. Ccinada will be happier, sounder and more genuinely prosperous tomorrow if we have more cities like Charlottetown, Fredericton, Que- L-ec, Guelph, Branden and Victoria and lciver of the million and over."

I v tlerewitli is an indication of the softening at the political attitude iri Quebec. "George

Drew, notional leader of the Progressive Cori- scrvativc Party, is the only political figure able to safcguard the rights of the 4,000,030 French.- speulairig Canadians spread throughout the country, Hon. L. P. Cecile, tourist and publicity n-inister in the Ontario Government, told a meeting of the Montreal Young Progressive Conservative Association at the Clix’: Canadian. "That's why we French Canadians iri Ontario switched our allegiance from the Liberal Party, which we formerly supported and voted for," he said. He advised French-Canadians everywhere to support Mr. Drew, who was an implacable enri- my of Communism and its ‘first cousins, Socialism arid Ccntralizution."' i I A

Times change and customs with them. For many years, at the request of one or two lead- ing citizens and the cooperation of the clergy cnd tlie Salvation Army, The Guardian organiz- ed an Alias Sarita Claus scheme for the benefit end blessing of those Santa might forget. It was a huge success, and as usual in such cases, imitation ensued; service clubs, churches and other organizations entered the field, with tlie consequent result of considerable overlapping, The Guardian sent out no parcels except on the guarantee of clergyman or the Salvation Army that it was o deserving case. Because of tlic competition and overlapping the plan became more or less a racket, the clergy being blamed if they failed to put oii applicant's name on their list. Because of this, and likewise of improving conditions, The Guardian discontinued Alias Santa Claus, and now, also, have not a few of the organization's which lied become active par- ticipants in the good work. This is a mistake on their part, for, whereas, owing to baby bonuses and other material benefits, no child is likely to be in need of necessaries, there are still many who will miss the luxury which a visit from the

spirit of Sarita Claus implies
