RECIPROCITY 1911 Sir-I note in your Public Forum column in your March 2 issue a discussion regarding the proposed Reciprocity Treaty proposed in 1011 between Canada and the Unit- ed States. Mr. H. K. B. Hemmlng has challenged the statement in to the influence of President Taft’s "mere adjunct" phrase on the re- sults of the Canadian elections . Mr. Hemmlng says that the phrase could have had no politi- cal effect because “it was not until several months after the date of the election that Theodore Roose- velt r>“bllrne<1 'President 'rafts let- ter" oontalning the phrase. The fact ls, as I recall it, that President Taft used the phrase that Canada would become "a mere adjunct of the United States" in s speech which I personally heard him read to 8,000 people in the Boston Arena a short time before the Can- adian election. The statement was flashed all over Canada. and was made a bit of political capital by the Conservatives in their effort to defeat the treaty. I always felt that it was good political strategy from the Conservative point of view and was' largely instrumental in defeating the proposed Reciprocity Treaty. I am Sir, etc. . HAROLD GARNET BLACK Beverly Hills, Cal. EXCHANGE DEPRECIATION Sir,-My object in writing is to stress a subject that I discussed at the late annual meeting of the “Dairy Association." The figures I used were estimates, and the illus- trations pictured were somewhat overdrawn. I have now the correct figures given by Commissioner Sin- gleton. Last summer we were on an export butter market in Britain to the tune of 3,000,000 lbs. At l5c. per lb, this amount was worth $480,000.00. During the time we were on an export basis, the home market absorbed 125,000,000 lbs., and the small export surplus dictated the price in Canada at a loss of 4 cents per lb. to our producers. It has been said that it would have been better to have dumped that surplus into the ocean than to have our Canadian market demorallzed. This plan would be considered a criminal waste when there are so many hungry unemployed to con- sume it. Suppose that next season we are on an export basis to a similar amount. The Dominion Govern- ment would be well advised to buy up this surplus and hold it in cold storage tlll winter, or ship it over- seas and bonus it to the level of the home price. This would cost the government $120,000.00 at 4 cents per lb., but it would put 8500.000 into the pockets of Canadian dairy- men. ° Our Department of Agriculture and Dairy Association should get active and put up e, flghtfor the dalrymen. There has been an ex- penditure for wheat bonus, seed grain, and bank guarantees that will run into tens of millions. When Britain went off the gold standard, dumping duties were applied to pro- tect Canadian manufacturers. If the Government cannot see its way clear to deflate the dollar to a par- ity with sterling, they could render a great service to dairymen in the way I have indicated. I am ap- pending e. short article copied from “Farm and Dairy," which I would like you to publish. - I am, Blr, etc., ` I. A. DEWAB» (ENCLOSURE) A few years ago, when we sold bacon. cheese, butter or wheat on the British market and transferred sterling to Canadian currency, £10 would give the Canadian farmer 548.00. Today. due to the difference lu exchange, £10 gives our farmer the "Mall and Empire" in regardl dropped to l6c. ‘and again on July ` ing absorbed and by August 20 prices I only $37.80. It works the same for all exporters. Because Denmark, Sweden and Norway are maintain- ing their currencies on a par with sterling, £10 gives the farmer in each of those countries the same amount ln their respective curren-| cies as it did several years ago. That ls, each Scandinavian farmer re- ceives the equivalent of $48.80 for the same amount of produce which would bring the Canadian farmer only $37.80. Australia, New Zealand and the Argentine are keen competitors of oura on the British market. How does this matter of exchange affect them? Instead of losing by lt, they profit tremendously. Because their currencies are depreciated, not only to a par with sterling, but far be-_ low it, £10 sterling gives the Aus- tralian and New Zealand farmer the equivalent of $61.00 in his cur; rency and the Argentine farmer re-‘ ceives almost as much. How can the Canadian farmer possibly com- pete on a world market under such a handicap? Moreover, since the price of export commodities on the world market rules the price of those commodities selling on the home market, this exchange handicap is responsible for holding the price of major farm products approximately 20% lower than they would be if we had parity with the pound sterl- ing. _ Sample Losses As an example of the eriorhlous losses which producers are sustain- ing through the chaotic condition of the industry, let us look at the butter situation last summer. Dairy Commissioner J. F. Singleton point- ed out recently that during May. June and July last year, Canada ex-' ported approximately 3,000,000 lbs. of butter. The export market on which these 3,000,000 lbs. were sold. fixed the price of all the butter sold ln Canada during this period. The . home consumption during those three months was approximately 125,000,000 lbs. Thus, an exportable surplus of 3,000,000 lbs. dictated the price of the entire production of 125,000,000 to 128,000,000 lbs. The first of April last year No. 1 creamery butter sold in Toronto wholesale at 26c. a lb. As the sur- plus uccumulated, prices dropped.
