ENCOURAGING Under the heading “Trade Keeps Growing" the Ottawa Globe, (Lib- eral) gives front page prominence to a special despatch from its Ot- tawa correspondent which makes encouraging reading at this Christ- mas season, substantiating as it does tho many evidences that the Empire preferences, Willie benefiting Canada, have in no way interfered with our trade relations with the neighbyrlng republic. We quote: "Empire trade has been stimulated by the Ottawa agreements. and exports from this country to the British Isles show an increase of nearly 25 per cent. this year as com- parcd with last.‘ But therc has been an even greater increase in Canad- ian imports from the United States. In every month of the present cal- endar ycar Canada has bought more from the neighboring Republic than in the corresponding month of last year. "Total purchases of American products to the end of October were $239,000,000, an increase of $00,000,- 000 over the corresponding ten months oi 1933, or an average of nearly $7,000,000 a month. "An interesting feature of Can- ada's erternal trade for the twelve- month period ending October is that total business with British Empire countries was $487,000,000, and total trade with the United States $392,- 000,000-only 95,000,000 difference. worth of goods from the United States for every $20 worth sold to that country, the picture of our trade with the Empire shows that British countries spent more than $2 with us for every $1 we spent with them." This is an effective answer to those who contend that. the Bennett policies mean “no trade with for- eigners" and that there has been any undue discrimination against United States as a result of the Bu- pire agreements. It remains only to be added that; In 1929 Great Britain spent nearly $3 with us for every $1 we spent with them, so that the present proportion, while still favorable to Canada, re- presents a decided improvement, from the British standpoint, over conditions prevailing before the Em- pire preferences became effective. Also, with regard to our United States trade, the Globe correspond- ent omits to state that while our im- ports have increased, our exports to that country have also increased. In the twelve months ending October, i934, our exports to the neighboring ropublic grew from $l60,000,0il0 to $206,000,000 despite the high tariff barriers which Washington imposed during the lldackenzie King regime Qt Ottawa, and which are still in Ject. CANADWS PART ‘An interesting article on the flue between capitalism and socialism is contributed to the Montreal Gazette by Prof. W. Caldwell. The writer emphasizes the characteristic our‘ tribution Canada has made, and is actually making, to the world of to- day. It is the privilege of Canada, situated where she is on this North American continent, 4hr! Piflyihl; the part she does in the British Empirv Commonwealth, to stand for a true continuity in the matter of thc un- doubtod progress and develoPmeht that. have come over our whole in- dustrial and capitalistic and social world since mid-Victorian times. Serious, indeed, as arc the problems that confront us in the matter of an adequate moral and legal control Imports from the United Kingdom t0 Canada well as the ‘only method that makes us men)" instead of "force? are tho guiding principles. And we have certainly enough today in Canada in the way of addressing curcelveyto front us, and in the waycf the cor- relation of our local and our pro- vincial and our Federal. systems, to keep us from being unduly hypnotiz- ed by Communistic Socialism or by the idea. of any merely scientific or- sanitation of our economic life. It is our efforts, and our enterprise u a people and as individuals that have made us what we are. And it is only the continuation of thus under high moral and national idea-is that will help us to solve the problems that beset us in this poet-war and post- crisis period." POTATOES FOR FEED An authority on agriculture deal- ing with potatoes and their worth for feed says: Considering present prices, the question of feed- ihg is an important problem. Tak- ing potatoes on the basis of diges- tible nutrients as compared with clover hay, if clover hay costs $20 and if the digestible nutrients in potatoes are of equal value per pound, then one hundred pounds oi potatoes are worth 34 cents. Ac- cording to Pott, potatoes may fur- nish half the dry matter in the ration for fattening cattle and sheep and one-fourth for horses. Milk cows should not be fed more than 30 to 35 lbs, as large amounts injure the quality of the buttor. They may be fed abng with suit- able dry feed to horses in amounts as high as 17.5 lbs. per day, raw or cooked. Larger quantities may cause digestive disturbances. Bons- singault states that 080 lbs. of cooked potatoes mixed with rut straw replaced 100 lbs. of hay in feeding horses. EDITORIAL NOTES Poorer in pocket, richer in spirit —and experience.

Whether Sir Robert Borden would consent to interrupt a glorious evening of life by a plunge int/o the Anglo-Irish question, we do not know. The work would be arduous and the risk great, and although Sir Robert has never qualled before either. any claim that he might make to exemption in this case would be easily acceptable.

On October 1. according to this article, a party of American artil- lery officers visited Ottawa on holiday. The party was “gay? It says, during the celebration c "snake dance" was formed, the rev- ellers "wound acrcss the foyer of thc Chateau Laurier," in its pro- grcss "inadvertently , , , jggflecl" the Prime Minister.

The Sun thereupon proceeded to denounce Mr. Bennett with the in- temperate violence it reserves for distinguished subjects of its bad temper-a list that includes Mr. Mackenzie King and Princess Marina. This was done in present- ing thc "significance" of its "facts." The weakness in the Sun's case, however. is in its lack of facts. ‘These weaknesses may be enumer- ated: ' Reportdrs closely in touch with the activities‘ in Ottawa of the An- cient and Honorable Artillery Com- pany of Massachusetts did not see any "snake dance" in the Chateau lourier or elsewhere. If there was a "snake dance" it did not "jostlc" Mr. Bennett for the very good reason that Mr. Bennett was in Paris at the time. On Bat- urday.
