Frenzied Financing’ Premier Saunders’ lmfllllllfll-lml soared to preposterous helflhls "he" he endeavored to show, in the course of his budget speech, that his Gov- ernment had reduced the debt of the Province from $415,000 to $29,- 000. The Premier, to assist his cal- culation, took in some extraordinary assets which hc claimed should be set against the indebtedness incurred. Road machinery, he said, was worth so much; graveiled roads were worth so much; scows and other equipment were worth so much; all these he put to the credit side of the ledger. But where, as the leader of the Op- position‘ pertinently asked, did he get his valuation? Nobody knows. The Premier said he got it from some audit, and read the figures off so rapidly that nobody could follow him until he reached the total, which “proved" that the debt was only $29,000. . How could any auditor have sup- plied theac figures? How could any accountant set a present valuation on the road machinery? How could he value gravelied roads that are covered with snow‘ and ice? If the Premier had any faith in his figures, why did he not have them typed and placed in the hands of members be- fore he delivered his speech? As Mr. Stewart pointed out, he had as much right to take ungravclled roads into account as gravelled roads. They are surely worth something to the Prov- ince. And what“ about the public buildings and other assets? If he look these into account he could wipe out the debt entirely; but these are not liquid assets and the fact would remain that we would still be in debt. The finances of the Province, as Mr. Stewart pointed out, are not carried on in that way. Against the debt we owe thcrc are debentures, short loans and tremendous over- drafts at the bank, and these have to be paid. "I trust," said the OPPO- sltion leader, "that neither the lead- er of the Government nor myself will live to see the day when the public property of this Province, in- eluding the grand old historic bulld- ing in which we sit, will have to be sold to pay our debt. We have to pay it either by increased taxation or by getting our claims for subsidy recognized at Ottawa. It is no use trying to fool the people in that cheap sort of. way, and my hon. friend knows it very well." To which all intelligent electors will say Amen; adding, if they are familiar with the Premier's phrase- ology, that a man who could get up in the Legislature and advance such arguments seriously "must be either drunk or insane." _______.___ Grain or Livestock? Mr. J. S. McLean, President of the industrial and Development Council of csnadianuMeat Packers recently delivered an address before thc wes- tern Canada Live Stock Union in which hc discussed the question ‘should Canada Export Grain or Livestock." in the last ten years, Mr. McLean said, a revolution has been taking place in Canada's agri- cultural cxports which has had much \|..~.!p.' g.

Items b. lloartll sstrlc Distress stud other ailments rcihaps it is that the system of pro- less attention than it deserved. Can- ada has steadily increased her total of agricultural exports, but the in- crease has been entirely in grain. In a Period of ten years, grain ex- ports increased: from $220,000,000 to $478,000,000, whereas export of animal products decreased: from t1sc,ooo,ooo to t 55,000,000.

MARCH 29, 1930 not on a basis of very hlsh "l" ' but it still may be on a better basis than is animal husbandry. rnegmt which has made possible this enormous increase in grain ex- ports has been that Canada's great rival in grain production, namely Russia, has throughout the last ten years ceased to be an exporter of grains. ‘fills is due to a special sit- uation which will not continue and when Russia resumes her normal place as a grain exporter Canada will unquestionably be forced into a more varied export program. ‘Hie grain situation of the present year is eloquent proof of this fact. Canada at present is engaged in marketing the 1929 crop-the smallest crop pro- duced since 192i. Moreover, in the matter of quality her wheat is better than ever before in ‘history-and yet the marketing of this light crop of wheat of superior quality, is giving us an enormous amount of anxiety. How would Canada be getting along if instead of a crop cf 290,000,000 bushels she had the surplus of a 530,000,000 bushel crop to market, and what will be the situation of the Ca- nadian farmer when Russia resumes exports of grain in normal quantl. ties? But even if we disregard these facts, namely, the immediate diffi- culties in the wheat position, and the prospect of a rapidly increasing Russian competition, it is quite evi- dent that a one-sided dcvelopme ‘ of our agriculture such as is por- trsyed in the export figures above, must be unsound from a national point of view. Canada is putting her agricultural export eggs all into the one basket. This cannot bc good policy. Canada with sdequah protection should become an exporter of the finished articles, butter, cheese, live- stock, but until we have protection for tho farmer, there is little hope of our developing a surplus of anything that we can export. i _____-__¢____ What 1v.‘ z. ma There are no half measu os about New Zcaland when developing her agricultural industry. we know m; farmers were formed into a zoilvcr- u‘. which enabled them to pay a bounty on all butter exported, and new ll’ appears the Government sub- lildlle the export of bacon to caps ture the London market. Hog slaughter for export in New Zealand reached 150,000 head during the year ended October J1, 1030, against 5,000 head in 1923-24. New Zealand hog numbers in 1923 stood at 401,000 head, but by 1928 they had risen to 568,000. Practically the whole export trade is with the United King- dom. Up to the middle of 1926 ex- ports were intended for bacon curing upon arrival in Great Britain. Since that time, however, about two-thirds of the shipments have been weighing from co to 180 pounds, as required by the London fresh pork trade. ‘rhe concentration on fresh pork weights coincides vlith the quarantine placed by the United Kingdom upon imports of fresh meat from Continental Eur- ope. To encourage the pork trade, the New Zeaiand Government paid an export bounty of 1 cent per pound on all carcasses of 60 to 180 pounds from early in 102s to December, 1m. The pork export trade is regarded now as not needlru any artificial stimulus. All of the New Zealand pork ex- ports, whether intended for use u fresh pork or bacon, are shipped as froacn pork. New Zcaland has be- come the leading source of fresco ‘pork imports mm the United nai- dom, when it competes with similar pros-m‘: from use United slaw. the next moat important source of such imports.

The idea is not new, but the wording of the section (which I have not seen) may be both unlawful and dangerous. with the provision of Magna Charts which protects individuals from mo- lestation of their person or property without justified legal process; and it can be dangerous as in placing loaded weapons tn the hands of half mad or incompetent officials. The Criminal Code protects offl- cers of the law against punishment in discharging their duties, and also the rs hitiblon Act, but under- dis- tinct conditions to safeguard the public. An unlawful warrant may be issued‘ by a magistrate. This is ex- ecuted in good faith by the police officer to the extent of making rc- tributive action subject lo notice - and to some extent protection where malice is not in evidence. It does not, however, protect any officer acting outside or beyond the; lin-lltati ' of the warrant or the duties of his office. when he trails- greases these he beccnfes as liable as an ordinary offender, and without protection from the statutes. Such a provision 1n the proposed Provincial Police law is, unless made‘ unjust and arbitrary, about as useful as a side pocket ls to -s toad. If ex- ecuting a bona fido document, duly authorized by law, there is no need of any protection flu-thcr than is now secured by Dominion legisla- tion. If he acts beyond those and without authority he docs not de- serve and has no right to special protection. l am Sir, etc. JUSTICIJ. UNANSWEBBD Bin-some days ago Mr. w.‘ P.

THE LAND WE LOVE Iy IILNK LEIGH THE curlaun Luvs: Q. What is the history of the Cunard Line? A. The history of the Cunard line of steamshlps covered 00 years, dat- ing back to 1840 when Samuel Cun- ard started a steamship line that carried the mails between Canada and England, the first trip taking thirteen days whereas the record time of the Maruretania is 4 days, 1'. hours and 50 minutes. The small tonnage of 1040 now reaches nearly a million tons of shipping. Samuel Cunard was knighted for Mhla great ocrvlce to transportation by introducing steam as the propelling power. Another con- trast is the speed of the first boats of 05 knots and the Maurctania cf 26 lt is but natural that a poet or a prophet should turn to literature to give expression to, man's thoughts. equally natural that a painter or a sculptor should interpret life into colour or line. But who could have discovered that the edlum of the emotions was sound-sound arrang- ed into melody, and built synetheti- cslly into harmony’! Music, in fact, is not quite "canny." Musicians ' ‘orm us that there is nothing extraordinary about it. Mus- ic, they say, is rhythm, and rhythm is that which makes life possible.
