Treaty Drawbacks _ ' 'Had provincial rather than political inter- ests dictated, the language elnployed ill the 5peech from the Throne at the opening of tile Legislat- ure, some qualifying statement would have been inserted in the clause commending the trade treaty signed by Pgemier Kmo at \Vashingtorl. ' Every farmer, fisherman and fox rancher knows _that his interests under the treaty were made ,,' subservient to the interests of Canadianwhiskey distillers, who got the full 5o per cent reductioll on their commodity. This is an ugly fact for a Liberal Legislature to face, but nothing has been "gained by ignoring it, as was done during Tues- ; day's debate. _ L Some pertinent facts in connection with the fltreaty were brought to the attention of the Sen- : ate the other day by Rt. lion. Alzrllox llilzlolllzrr. Between 19:1 and 1930, that is to say during the ;,last hl/icxuxzll: lilxo regime, the Washington gCongress adopted successive tariff increases, y; which reduced our exports of farm products to |1‘_ the republic from $174,000,000 in 192l_to a little ~_, over $3,000,000 per annum, Looking back over l2 the past, Mr, hlElGI-IEN said that he would not ffybe surprised if the present treaty has not a rath- Ier short and sorrowful existence. He sees, for P" instance, in the reccntcourse of the United .. States Government, an action which may ill great Umeasure mlllify tlle American tariff concession on imports of Canadian whiskey. Speaking iii "ptbe Lower House, both Premier King and the __Minister of Trade and Commerce, have admit- i, ted much the same thing, so that the Conserva- -tive leader in the Senate cannot be accused of ..lany exaggeration in the premises. E To the Liberal contention that the present ;_ trade treaty is on all fours with what the --Bl-INNi-1'l“l‘ Government sought prior to the last general election, Mr. hll-zlnlllzn opposed the fact that the BENNETT Government insisted on a 50% reduction ill the American duties on certain pri- mary natural products of Canada including lunl- ber, fish, potatoes, milk and crcunl and live cat- tle. The prescut treaty failed to obtain these coll- cessions for the producers and exporters of this D0miniou_ Finally, Mr, hTEIGllEN pointed out that the early effects of the treaty have not been what the present Government predicted or ex- ‘ pectcd, 1n january United States exportstti the whole world wcre only $197,958,000, as compar- ed with $223,555,000 in December, 1935, a drop of $25.ooo.ooo. Simultaneously the republids ex- ports to Canada increased froln $21,760,000 in Derclnbel‘ to $26,990,000 in January-wan in- creztse of $5,230,000. In December we sold to the Clliterl Slates $26,937,000 worth. in january, alttr the treaty went into effect, we sold them S.'_-'.~ ~,4.c0o. So in a declining world export trade illi‘ united States stiles to Ciallagla went up. Ill the ~ me period our sales t o the United States n-t-ut down. These figures are not conclusive. They show a wrong trend.

This was as far as our local Legislature \vas warranted in going in expressing its approval. l i' i t Trade With Cuba Writing to a friend in Halifax, a. Canadian business man resident ill Cuba statcs that the llavlula lleivspzlpcrs gave considerable promin- ence to a discussion in the Canadian llouse of Commons last mouth on the imposition by Cuba of her lnaxinlum customs tariff against Canad- ian goods, Cuba. it is complained, finds it vcry difficult, if nut impossible, to secure a market in (fanada for llcr cigars and sugar, on account of the high Canadian tariffs on these commodities. In vicw of Canada's preferential treaties with the West indies and other parts of the British Em- pire, it has been difficult to import Cuban sugars, but it is suggested that this country would find it pruiitzllilc to (l0 away with its uneconomic beet sugar industry ill Western Ontario and Western Canada and substitute therefor Cuban sugar, thus assisting her Canadian cod fishery and po- tato industries to mnrltet their products in Cuba. The sugar tariff issue was freely exploited by Lihcrnl candidates in the last federal election contest, alld it is high time that something COII- crete was done at Ottawa to implement the pledges then given. Radio System Change The Government's radio eat (says a Toronto Exchange) nearly escaped from the bag today ‘when one of the Ottawa papers secured a ‘ff5¢oop" by printing extracts from a draft bill allegedly circulated by Hon.

Governments here and Gov- ernments there are taking so much money out 1n the way of taxes of all descriptions, that the margin of reasonable safety has been cut away and there 1s little or nothing left, in countless cases, for those who have risked their capital and put in. as well, their special ability and their hard work. “Why? bus- iness men ask themselves, “should we sweat and toil and plan and risk our capital when so little is left for us even if we do have a. fair measure of ordinary success?” There you have the thing that is holding up recovery, that. constitutes thei reason why business is not expand- ing as lt normally should. And keep in mind that this failure to expand, this failure of capital to open up new enterprises and invade new fields, means the failure of count- less workman to secure employ- ment.

I.n July, 1935, the air lines of the United States, including the service to all important centres south of the United Stat/es, carried more than 91,000 passenger, as compared to 50,000 the same month a year ago. That increase oi‘ 82 per cent. in passenger traffic was accompan- ied by a 93 per cent increase tn air mall. The average passenger trip was more than e00 miles. At, the present. time 3,000 passengers, 20 tons o; mall, and 9 tons of express are being flown every twenty-four hours on the average: and nearly half of this flying is done at, night. How safe is it? Well, there are 22 separate air lines operating inside than others in point of experience and equipment. some of lllP best. air lines have accidents. Despite every precautionary nlcasure,——and these measures are thol-ougll,—uc- cldents occur, During the first ten months of 1935 there were four ac- cidents. in which fifteen passeng- ers were killed. Approximately 850,- 000 flew safely, during that. same period, over our air line systems.- Howard Mingos in The Review of Reviews (New York.)

But bloodvessels in the neck stand out, lips are blue, and usually patient tries to get. to a window to obtain more air. It is now known that, some cues of asthma are due to a sensltlveness to foods and other substances, oth- ers to defects in nose and - throat, others to gland distlubances, while more than half the cases appear to be inherited. The treatment during an attack ls usually an injection of adrenalin -the juice from the adrenal glands situated one on top of each kidney. However physicians and patients want more than simply relief during an attack, Besides the adrenalin has to be injected which is not always easy or convenient without a phy- SlClitll. Research workers are therefore seeking methods of preventing at- tacks, and so removal of defects of nose and tltroat,‘ avoiding certain foods and other substances to which. the patient may be sensitive, breathing exercises In which the all" at. the bottom of the lungs ls forced out by using abdominal muscles, use _ of a teaspoonfni o! common table salt; a half hour before meals, have all helped some cases.

By removing the meal from the stomach by means of a tube at definite periods of time after eating she found that. a great many of the cases did not have as high a percentage of hydrochloric ncid in the digestive juice as is found in normal individuals. ‘Pl-eat- nlent to increase the amount; of ilydrochlorlc acid in t-he stomach juice showed that as the percentage increased the improvement in the patients increased also.

A bridge at Brighton, however, would be convenient to a larger ex- tent of country, to farmers who drive teams. Bridges and tolls, heavy gates and heavier tolls do not appeal to me as progresstveness. What we really want. ls the continuation of a paved highway on the Borden route.

ELECTRIC LIGHT PROBLEM Slr,—-'I'he question of light and power ls of such universal interest that in the last ten years it has become one of major importance to governments, municipalities and people generally. The aim every- where ts to give this life necessity at the lowest; possible cost. ‘ll-lat. is the reason why in six. out of the nine provinces of Canada the pro- vincial governments are engaged in the power business and in a previ- ous letter I indicated that. Quebec Province also now proposes to take steps to help in the electrification of municipalities and rural districts. British Columbia and Prince Ed- ward Island so far have not. follow- ed the lead of the other provinces. There is sufficient hydro-power here. The trouble ls that. we have been spending our money too freely in other directions but the generat- ing and distribution of power is a revenue producer and so we have hope that. a power policy may yet; be developed. The Financial Post of March 28th contains much valuable information about public utilities. In statistics given I find that. this Province has the lowest percentage of light and power customers per 100 of popula- tion than any other Province. Our percentage ls 4.60, Novn Scotin is 9.31, New Brunswick 8,32, Quebec 12.55, Ontario 17.00. and so on. What is the explanation of our low, percentage? Clearly, it is owing to criminntory rates and charges in force here. The statistics further show that the average bill for the year is larg- er here thnn ln any other province except Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but. the average rate per k.w.h, is 8.34 cents here, N, S. 5.32 cents, N. B. 4.91 cents. Quebec 3.28 cents, 0n- tarlo 1.'i1 cents, Manitoba .99 cent, Saskatchewan 4.99 cents. Alberta 5,81, and B. ‘C. 8.08 cent-s.
