It Ls said that several ino- torzsts who have been involved in accidents recently when their au- tomobiles skzdded on icy streets and crashed int o posts or fences have set up the claim that the cor- poration of t-he city of Peter-bor- ough is responsible for the dam- ages caused. Surely 1t nas not got to the stage when muntctpalitcs are to be held accountable if they fail to make Winter driving toot- proof. The vagaries of Wnver weather set up conditions that n0 municipal government could reas- onably be expected to cope with and we imagine that clams for damages would have little chance to succeed. — Peterbcrcugn Ex- annner.

THE FARMEB PREJUDICED

Slr:--I11 your “ms-columns the other day I observed a most en- couragtng item. in the course o! w i J. . McLean adv-sad the members of the Canadian Chamb- er of Ccminerce. in his presidential address. that ‘The plain tact is that the interests of industry and of agriculture are one an the same”. and the speaker added his convic- tion that l1. was tn the interests of the nation "to seek by every means to bring about genuine and confl- uent co-operatlon between agricul- ture and industry."

But. your financial contem- porary 1'I‘i1e Tunes) in Montreal, in dealing with 111's “more national viewpoint for the Chamber of Com- merce and its members." also points out that “Of Canada's pu atlon, 45 per cent. is rural and 5 per cent is urban. while agricultural produc- tion of 569000000 in I936 compares with manufacturing production of $l.290.000.000". and quotes Mr. Mc- Lean thus: “Agriculture still is. and for_a long time seems destined in re- main. Canada's basic industry."

lationsliip between "the nterests of industry and of agriculture" I sub- mit the foiiowin amazing asser- tion from so aut oritatlve a sourre as the premier of Manitoba (Hon.
