“Order-ln-Council Tariffs"

According to the Ottawa Correspondent of The Financial Post, the KING Government, iiot- withstanding the platform statements made by Premier M/iciceivsii: KING and his leading lieu- tenants to the contrary, does not intend to abolish “order-in-council tariffs" right away.

“It is beginning to be apparent in Govern- ment circles," says the Past correspondent, “that there is a strong inclination to use these order- in-council tariffs as a bargaining weapon, rather than to abolish them out of hand. If that view prevails, there will be some delaywvhile foreign governments are sounded out. This process is al- ready being followed with respect to japan.”

Under the term "ordcr-in-council tariffs" l‘ listed :

Currency dump duties in operation.

Restricted discounts on imports of auto- mobiles, radios and soft wood doors.

Special dump duties on a number of articles whose identity is not disclosed by the National Revenue department.

These special dumps are imposed under section 36 subsection 2 of the Customs Act and publicity is definitely made voluntary_ Costs of production in foreign factories are involved and this is the reason no information is divulged to the public in most cases. Two of these special dumps, however, cover raisins in package form and coated fabrics imported from the United States.

So far as currency dumps are concerned, the rule which has been applied by the National Revenue department is as follows:

1. Imports from countries with appreciated currencies—such as the gold bloc countries- niiist ‘be valued at the current rate of exchange.

2. Imports from countries with depreciated currencies—there are‘ eleven of them-must be rated at the value fixed by the government. This “pr0claimed" value is announced from time to time. If exporters in countries with depreciated currencies ship goods valued in Canadian money at this “proclaimed" valuation, there is no dump duty. If they ship atithe current value of their own currency a dump duty is imposed equival- ent to the difference between the current valua- tion and the “proclaimed” valuation.

Premier KING and his colleagues seem to have made the discovery thatthere was neces- sity for imposing these special restrictions: at least that they are of value “as a. bargaining weapon." \Vhat a distance they have come since the election campaign, when the very idea 0f "bargaining" in the matter of tariffs was aii- athcma to Mr. King!

U. S. Fishery Market

“United States market for Canadian fish and fishery products," is the subject of an in- formative article in the current issue of the Com- mercial Inlelligcirce Joimiiul, issued by the Dominion Department of Trade and Commerce. The author is Mr. W. ]. RIDDIFORD, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Washington.

It is interesting to note that in 1933, the last year for which statistics are available, 31 per cent of the total value of the Canadian catch 0f fish 0f all kinds was consumed in the United States. The average prices per pound for all fish and fishfry products exported to the United States from Canada during the calendar years 1929-33, inclusive, reveal a. decrease of 29.2 per cent. The steady decline in values up to 1933 is attributable to a certain extent to the general de- cline of commodity prices during the period, but tlicre can be no doubt, writes the Commissioner, that an important factor has been the increased production of fish both in the United States and Canada by individuals who, unable to find em- ployment at their usual vocations, have resorted to fishing as a means of livelihood. Throughout a period of declining commodity prices and de- creasing purchasing power, this increased pro- duction has tended to depress prices unduly.

IHIPOHHCIOHS‘ into the United States of Can- ailian fish and fishery products are classified tinder twenty-four items by the United States (iustoms, several 0f which are really groupings of similar types but different varieties. It is iii- tei-esting to note that items 1 to 1o (cod, had- dock, etc.; fresh water fish and eels; sea her- ring. fresh; fish filleted, skinned and boned; mackerel; lobsters, canned; smells; fresh sal- mon; halibut; lobsters, not canned) indicate Canada as almost the sole source of supply of imports. _

In general terms the United States Tariff Act provides rates of duty for the protection _of American fisheries and certain species of fish during seasons of abundant domestic production and permits the marketing of Canadian products during the period of scarcity. This is partiizularly true of freshwater fish, which are supplied al- most entirely from Canada during the winter months when American prpductionis practically at a standstill. Canadian fish entering the Unit- ed States market duty free comprise approxi- mately 33.6 per cent by value and 31-4 P" ‘Fm by volume of the total imports over the five- y"; period igog to i933 inclusiye. _

With regard to lobsters, if l! "mfllfhai l" recent yearn the United States Atlantic ooiist fishery became neriouslydepleted. Ind film”! all the stat” concerned have enacted legislation ilnlgned to "conserve the lobster supply. How- ever, the total annual AmericanJqbster catch is probably still in exceu of 11.000000 pounds. importation: into the United States

Our second lady Senator, I-Ion. Mrs. FALLis. evidently is not so fond of publicity with regard to her own (lomesticiaffairs as are some other people who could be named.

The Montreal Gazelle is again backing the TASCllliREAU Government as it did four years ago in opposition to Mayor Honda's leadership of the Conservative Party. It seems to attach more importance to the insurgency of the yOuug Liberals under Mr. Gouiu than it does to the Conservatives under Mr. DUPLESSIS, but ziirly sweeps both aside with the remark: “Apart from the value of its record as a basis of an appeal to the public for a renewal 0f its mandate, the Government has a distinct advantage in the fact that Liberalism is presently dominant in Canada and that the province of Quebec itself in the recent federal election gavestrong ex- pression to the prevailing Liberal sentiment.”

The D0iniiiion's total external trade for September, although down by about ten million dollars as compared with the August figure, had an aggregate value of $110,842,000 as com~ pared with $101,022,000 in September, 1934, and $97,027,000 in September, 1933. For the twelve-nionth period ending September 3o. 1935, Canada's total foreign trade was valued at $1,- 235,789,ooo, a gain of $100,287,000 or 8.8_per cent over the figure recorded for the previous parallel period, and of $39,811,000 0|‘ 37-9 P" cent compared with the same period in 1932-3. Canada's visible trade balance in her fflvfillr f0!’ the last twelve-month period amounted to $157,- 276,000 as compared with $140,705,000 and $126,108,000 in the two preceding years.

Mr. J. W. Daron, Editor of the Winnipeg Free Press, has been offered the Ambassador- ship to Washington in succession to Mr. H1211- RIDGE. Mr. DAI-‘OE is a Liberal of the old SIFTON school to which Mr. KING gives allegiance, It was noteworthy during the election Mr. Kmo obtained much of his inspiration from the Free Press, one important speech of his being almost word for word reproduced from that news- paper's editorial columns. It is doubtful whether Mr. Duos will accept the honour and respon- sibility. It may be recalled Premier Boimsu offered t0 submit his name fo the King for the honour of Knighthood, but on due consideration Mr, Duos asked to be excused, remarking that as he stoked his own furnace it would not be ve dignified to do so with a “Sir" attached to his

"Man was intended to walk barefoot on the soft ground. Civ- ilization, however, has brought hard floors of wood and tllo, cem- eiit sidewalks. asphalt streets-and shoes. The Indian guide who trav- iels many miles dolly without fat- ‘. igue may have hls feet almost dis- nbled by a. few days‘ walktn: on i the city streets."

I am dilating Dr. Phlllp Lewln. Northwestern University, Chicago, in his little book Posture and Hy- giene of the Feet.

However as civilized people we must wear shoes so ll: ls thus very important that We get. shoes that fit, are comfortable, and that. do ‘not cause oorns, calluses, bunlons,

hammer toes (one of the itoe Joints rlgld instead 0f mov- able.) ingrown toenails, blisters and other foot troubles. .

Many manufacturers are now making shoes that, will give com- fort and prevent foot troubles. The timer side of the shoe is in a straight. line, and the outer slde is well rounded with plenty of room for all the toes, when the weight of the body ls placed on them. The position of your toes when the weight of the body is placed on them. The position of your toes when the weight of the body ts on them can now be seen by means of the fluorosoope (Xray) with which many shoe stores are now equipped.

Shoes that do not; fit properly, heels too high or t/oo low. toes cramped, arch not high enough or too high. not only cause painful conditions of the feet. but actually affect the general health of the body. Thus 1t has been found that. very low or very high heels cause pain in the small of the buck- mistaken for rheumatism. Individ- unls who have to stand tn the one position for long periods, like mot- ormen 0r policemen, may gradual- ly lower ‘the arch of the foot on the inner side, and without. having much pain or discomfort tn the foot, have considerable pain on the timer side of the knee Joint. This is because this part of the knee has to carry the whole weight of the body. Many a. knee has been painted with iodine or strapped up when the trouble was due to a shoe whose arch WES not giving proper support,

The point. then ls that most of us have to’ earn our llvlng with bot-h head and feet. If our shoes do not fit. 01' support. our weight properly thcre will be not only foot, leg. and back disturbances but the whole nervous system wlll be affected.

Look after your feet by first get- ting properly fitted shoes,
