___,___._ .

Half a million pounds of Danish butter were landed in New York the other day and sold wholesale there at fifty cents per pound. The prevailing price of American butter in New York is, or was previous to this importation, 70 cents. In Toronto and other Upper Canadian cities butter is selling at about 80 cents; in Charlottetown, retail, at 65 to 70 cents.

In Europe the demand for butter is almost un- limited and the supply by no means ‘suiiicient. So scarce is it in England that the ration system is still in force and the limit is an ounce or two a week to each person. Denmark, taking advantage of the exchange situation is able to sell butter in New York at a larger margin of profit than is permitted by

The Danes are thrifty farmers; they have for butter, cheese, eggs

and bacon in the European markets, always coin- manding the highest prices for all their products. Their dairy cattle are, or were before the war, the best type of cattle in the world and their record for milk production is about twice as high as that of Canadian cattle. The Danes are now our competi- tors not only in the European markets but on our own ground. They are only now getting on their feet after the (listurbed conditionscreatetl by we may rest assured they are sufficient] progressive to re-establish themselves in their form- . er position in the worlds markets.

Are we ready for-this competition? Are we able for it? These are questions that must be faced by Canadian farmers in the very near future and the sooner the better.

Prices of farm products are at present abnor- mally high; abnormally because the conditions which raised them are abnormal. We are filling a vacuum caused by five years of destruction and of n0n-pro- duction and until this vacuum is filled the relation of supply and demand will be abnormal, reverting gradually to normal as the supply approaches the de- mand. - e supply is gradually nearing this stage; the devasted countries in Europe are beginning to produce and they are a thrifty people. With cattle destroyed, markets diverted, farms unmanned it will take them some years to catch up but they will catch up and they will get back to their original markets. Before the war our principal competitors in dairy products in the British Market were the Danes and they held a higher place~than we. They will be our competitors again» 1n the meantime we have an op- portunity to get into the European markets and to establish ourselves there. Iii that market there is only one thing that counts, namely, merit. This merit must be achieved and our place in the market secured before we can hope to successfully meet competition. The time to do this is now, while there is room for our products. At present we have a good home market but we have. no guarantee that even here we shall not meet foreign competition so it be- hoves us on many grounds to be up and doing.

In this province particularly our only salvation is to maintain high prices for our agricidtural pro- duce. With high prices, even abnormal prices for our farm products, prosperity in all other lines is assured. Quality will assure us the best prices the market any- where can afford. Attention to quality then and the greatest possible production is our hope and all our energies should be directed towards producing more and better goods.

' CURRENT CORTMESFI?

Hon. Robert Rogers ln his ad- dress nt Ottawa commented upon u strange coincidence, that when Lib- erals are in opposition they agiz ate ior things but never Ifulfll their pro when in power. How in. cinnly true is this in our own prov mce. Hus the Bell government redeemed or attempted 1o redeem trsingle pro election promise? in ical ‘fact they are doing in nearly everything the very thing iiu-y most severely denounced when in opposition. They were prolific in charges against the agricultural de- partment. What have ihey done

in law in England. i 111011!

the war and- . y thrifty andH-y the late government adopted

The Patriot’s editorial explanation of affairs at Falconwood, in its yesterdays issue, is well headed “cornered at last.” It now admits that the material for the needed repairs at Falconwood were on hand in July and August last, and asks with the assumed innocence of a child newly awakened, “What busi-- ness, what right, had a defeated government to pur-

chase, $2000 worth of material after ithad lost the confidence of the people?” Has the Patriot forgotten that at the very (iutset of this controversy it was plainly told that this material yvas purchased in the early summer of 1919 before the election, although not delivered until July and August? The Patriot s assumed amazement will thus deceivekio one. ,

It pleads as an excuse for the Bell government s neglect to begin operations with the repairs on hand, that it had ho money, not a scrap of paper even, when it assumed power and that it was confronted on ev- ery hand with debts etc, etc., and_so it permitted the disgraceful condition to continue through a whole winter _till February 9th. Well, any consola- tion the Patriot and the Bell government can get out of that admission they are welcome to, but it will not satisfy an intelligent public. _ _

The Patriot labors hard to find “an insult to the Commission” in the Guardian's statement that “1t should not be too much even for the intelligence be- hind the Bell Commission to understand, etc, etc.” As the Commission do not carry their “intelligence behind” them, the Patriot should have been able to put the cap on the intelligence referred to.

.It ishardly worth while arguing with the Pat- riot. The people now understand the situation thor- oughly. They know the C0mmission—that is, what was “behind the Commission"--was a sham and a delusion engineered solely for political effect and to pave the way for the Bell governments entry into the frenzied finance which now evidently confronts

for agiicuLure? They vehemently railed against that “iniquitous iii- ccnie tax.” and harped against par- ly appointments to office. Now, in power, the hearisinan‘: axe ls ever glittering nnd swinging. while the tax. oifce is working ovlerilrue on the job to wring the lust cent out of the poorest of our people.

1913 the Muihieson Govern- amenrierl the income Tax Acl The bill, as explained on the ﬂoor of the house was designed to prp. acct the pour man's bread-end ‘nui- icr. At ihai time living costs were @7161!!! and $500 of n man's ivnges. ii his lncom. did not excccd $1200 was exempt. ‘The distinct spirit oi the act was to exempt the living oi’ the poor man, no matter who li> was.

But the tax reducing economists have a different programme. They want and must have money no moi tcr who suffers. The iiiniinml and helpless returned soldier, who (lid not exist ivlicn the act was Lllmellﬂ- cd. receiving small Living pension now, learns that this is not “xii- ury or wages" uiid not legally en- titled to exemption. A ‘farmer who when living was cheap sold hi1 farm and retired to the city‘ _-to live on his small ‘interest from the proceeds has the same story pitcn oil up to him. The widow. with small children to raise and educ- ate, with n four or five hundred dollar income from rents or pen- sions, has no exemption.
