fastuns of the blll as introduced by the Bennett Government. This does not correspondent with Mr. Riffs own statement. The bas- ic principle of the marketing leg- isist-kin, he claims, is objectionable because it will "create monopolies of producer's in particular occupations. special groups controlling produc- tion, pirrchase and sale of different clsssu of products and commodi- lim.” And he emphasises this as the main point at inss. (Ha-beard. April l9, page 25%).

The "special groups" to which the Liberal leader refer-s are chiefly our fsrm and fisha-y producers. 1t rs against, giving these the right to control the marketing of the pro- duet. of their own labour that. he has dslvsd into Givens History of Iligland for high-sounding plati- tuds,sndralsedahuesndcrys- bom alleged disregard of the prin- ciples d Magna Cherta. Our agri- cultural rxoducers, faced with ruin- mg price-cutting under present- dsyJnarket-ing condidons, may well aak, as Hon. Mr. Stevens asked at. the close of Hr. King's speech: "What on earth ‘has the opinion of the historian Green about Msgns Charts gm to do with the price of

111s nccmaity fm- the bill embody- lrI lie principle on which Mr. King bases his chief objection was thus etnted in the Lelielatun: by Mr. W. H. Dennis, Liberal member for Second Prince:

"Whenhe (Mk. Dennis) went home he had consulted the farmers and mgytypumtthiswmrldbesgr-and thing, but. hs represented to them that ha believed, but did not know. Qhd tlI cental board would have a wllllflfle ill?‘ ““im over the ex- portsble agricultural products of Province, and without that it is no good.

of producers, and have found it. im- pomible in many cases to get s fair price, due to price cutting. He cit- ed the difference in butter prices here and at Montreal as a case in point.

“But," asya Mr. Mackenzie King. il-lanaard, April l0, page 2633) "the fines and imprisonnrents that. alts to apply to anyone who darn to viol- ate what becomes the law an put. down u} bhe bill, but. m what the law is to be none save the self-in- terested parties are to have s word."

let us page Mr. J. P. McIntyre, Liberal M. L. A. fix Second Kings, on this point. We quote again from the Patriot of April H:

“Mr. McIntyre asked if the Ms:- ‘ketlrrg Board would have any con- trol as to the regulation of prices and whether it was empowered to penalize those who cut. prices on fish or far-m products. If not, hs did not sec how the Act. would be . . .1Alineisdroppedherefrcm the Patriot report, but the word used was "effectlve.")

"Control of prices, and power to penalize those who cut prices." 'I"hcse provisions, it. will be seen, are in the opinion of our Liberal repre- aontatlvu the very teeth of the Act. Without. them tzhe Act. would be a farce. And they are the teeth which Mr. Maokenzie King wants to draw before he gives his consent! Yesterday our local tern ll] hailed Mr. King as “Liberalism per- sonified." What, s slap in the face toltsownpartystslwartsinthe local legislature! If Mr. King is Liberalism personified. to what. hybrid political category do Messrs Les, Dennis, IePage and McIntyre belong-or Messrs. C pbell. An- near, Allen and other loml Opposi- tion members, for that matter. for tIhey are all inone boatsofaras approval of price fixing under the Marketing Bill is concerned. They all voted for it; most of them verb- ally indorsed it; and some of them tried to take credit for Lqtxoducing it.

Awordinconclusionin repute the ridiculous criticism of our con- temporary that. all the Mlfilslfli did not speak on the bill in the local Legislature. Why slliuld they have done so? Its provisions were fully explained by the promoter, the At.- torney General. Introduced as a Government measure, it naturally carried the full approval of the ad- ministration.

And after the able u_ ents ad- duced in its favour by tho 099°81- tkm, what was there left to say?

Christian Science Monitor: “If we could get. rid of the approximately 100 men responsible for wars in this world. the people would enicy peace." when Henry Ford made this remark the other day he was referring to the munitions makers. And he was, of course, over-simpli- fying. The case against the anna- merrts inter-abs is too complex to state in s few words. But it is sl- so too complex to be grasped quick- ly by persons who have not given serious study to the conditions on which arms peddlers thrive and to which they contribute certain dsn- gerous elements. Someone, there- fore. has to be willing to put it as Mr. Ford has: “The people in gen- eral don't want war, but lt. has been forced on them by scheming munition makers looking for enor- mous profits through the sale of arms."

Ancient Systems

(Butterfleld in Vancouver Province)

Our- friend, Brother Woodsworth of Winnlgeg, reformer extraordin- ary to Hrs Majesty, and leader of the mixed philosophy known as the C. C. F, has unbosomed himself st. a banquet in Toronto upon tlhe high destiny that. awaits his party in the history of Canada.

The main idea seems to be that. neither he nor his followers will make any compromise whatever with the existing forces of evil in the shape of established parties in politics. lie will have the whole cheese or nothing. That is, of course an honorable ambition. He has th- cided to go forward.

It is his confirmed belief that. there must be a new system with- out any compromise with the old. It. is worth his attention, however, that all old systems can not bc-or should they ire-scrapped suddenly. It. is aLao worth his attention that. a strict adherence to all the older principles of government. in Britain has placed that. great country in a leading position in what progress the would has node toward reco- very.

Let Mr. Woodswortifr read the facts from England—lf he can take time off fronr fomenting dreams- and find out. for himself that there are now more men employed in England than there have been for many years; that she has a very comfortable surplus; that her trade revival is most. impressive and that. altogether she has no need to in-

Bin-A few days ago you vmtilr- sd to comment on a Ilcvs looflsab alarm at "the ° surabar d feeble-minded". ’ a III Br A ‘ exchange interpreted as an explanation of the vote at the lsat provincial election. This is a variation from the usual flattery employed by wily politicians when angling for votes. It is usually “this fine intelligent audience whom I have the honor of addressing." More usually it is hesitation to meet issues facfte face, and to deal fairly with fact; for fear of treading on com; political corns. A long experience convinces ma that. pusrlanlmity in defense rarely fails to produce disaster.

It. is true that. an opposition, without responsibility, has the ad- vantage of operating slime pits and slinging mud which the party in power, with the responsibilities of government, cannot lose self respect by wasting good powder to refute. Yet there is a duty of the press, and those behind the government to kcep within limits the unprin- cipled propngandist who to gain political ends will sacrifice every interest. of his country.

f admit myself Conservative, but not. so steeped in party as not to be able to view political issues with a judicial mind. Arid I have only disgust fou- the gyration; of those who change tactics with every wind, and whose policies are as "unstable as water.’ And perhaps some further dsgust. that Conserv- atives let. them get away with it. I would like some one, Liberal or Conservative, to recall from the history of Canada. an instance in which the Liberal Party ever irn- plemented an important platform pledge, or performed when in power their promises while in opposition. They fiddled on the strings of free trade, under various forms and alias captions such as Tariff for Revenue, Unrestricted Reciprocity, Free Trade as they have it. in England, changing the form as frequently as they changed their leaders When they assumed power under Laurier they measured as great s distance as hades from Heaven from the policies preached, and left power with a higher aver- age duty than when they took of- lice.

In opposition they denounced in vicious attack; the building of the Canada Pacific Railway by Sir John A. McDonald. at s cost of $33,000,000, charging extravagance and corruption. They were not long in power however before they sad- dled Canada with that, unwgntgd Transcontinental, st. a cost of over with extravagance and charged corruptions to stagger con- ception. It. is this great and un- manageable white elephant, im- P0594 0n Us by Liberals, that is now swamping the country w m; verge of financial ruin.

They reached economy with heroic persistence when in oppo- sition, but when the reins of gov- ernment were entrusted to them, on several occasions. rampant ex- til! ice became the order of the fill’. and debts mounted skyward with which Conservatives coming inlo power had to exercise their
