No one doubts his honesty or his good intentions. llis devotion to duty is plain for all to see. But more than that will he demanded of him in statesmanship at this critical juncture. Tariff Boost Opposed The drive in the big industrial centres for more tariff protection includes the te\tile interests, and it has been argued that our farmers also would benefit by an increase in the duty on imports of wool cloth into ('anada. The (‘anadia.l1 Feder- ation of .»\griciiltiiie, however. has gone on record before the Tariff Board, urging that no such action be taken. The hearings are part of a geiieral investigation of the in- t‘lustr_\. which was ordered by the Governmeiit. The Board was re- quested to not only investigate. bill to make \p(\'lLl(‘ recommendations as to what tariffs should be imposed. The l~‘edci'ation maintains that there is no evidence to indicate that the cloth industry is being tlireateiied with a perman- ent markets as a l‘t"sllll of overseas competition. pro- viding due allowance is made for (1) the iiorinzil cyclical fluctuations vvliicli affect the industry, and (2) the abnormauy high premium which has been placed on the Canadian dollar in recent times. in the second place the Feder- ation clainis that the already dif- ficult position of the farm industry might well be aggravated further. if an lll('l't'.'lsf‘ in duties on imports of wool cloth weic put into effect. The i-‘edcration recognizes that the increasing amount of Italian vvoolens which have been coming into (‘anada represent the major factor which has given rise to the requests of the textile industry for Increased protectiiin. However. it pointed out that Canadian exports of farm products to Italy averaged 013', million a year for the past 5 years, and made up 43 per cent of the total Canadian exports to that qiuntry. Any increase by Canada 1! tariffs against the Italian textile jlllmtry would undoubtedly be bohad will by Italy as a serious trade aggression. The results of such men on tho cart at Canada. I i'an;idian wool coiitraction of its bould easily lead to loss of market) for Canadian wheat, flour, flaxseed and rapeseed far in excess of the value of Italy's total textile ports to this country. The Federation brief also empha- sized that. because of the vital im- portance of the British market for t‘anadian grain and various other farm commodities, it views with much concern any fundamental change in Canada's trading policy, such as more protection for our tex- tile industry, which would make it still more difficult for Britain to earn (‘anadian dollars. The fact is that our fariiiers have suffei'ed greatly over the yciirs by tariffs imposed iii the iiitei'est of secondat‘_\' industries which have made wealthy the big industrial cen- tres witliout any coinpciisatiiig benc- fit to agricultural pimiiices such as Prince Edward island. A case iti point is the reporteilly cool recep- tion wliich the rt-ceiit iiritish free- trade offer l‘t‘<‘t‘l\t‘(i. l'nder this ofi'ei' ('anada's lil'llllttl‘_\ lllilll\ll‘l(‘S would benefit. and in the long run we believe it would strcngtheii her secoiidary iiidiistries as well and make us less depeiident oti the fluctuatiiig trade policies of the L'n- ited States. The prospect is not encouraging and in the niciiiitinie the clamor for still more tariff" pro- tection has been It is to be hoped the Government will stand firm against this pressure. raised. Bad Reports i-‘roni two reliable soiiices in the last few days have come had reports of our potatoes which every l.\lil"flt‘l‘ likes to tliiiik are the liest in the world. At one of the county meetings of the Federation of Agriculture, Agriculture Minister Cullen stated that some of the shipments he had seen in Toronto were in most unsat- isfactory condition. To quote the Hon. Mr. (‘ullen. “there were under weight bags; old bags: dark, dis- coloured and green potatoes; bniises, breaks and frost". At a meeting of the Queen‘; County Liberal Association, the Hon. B. Earle Mt-Donald stated that the “general run" of potatoes that come to his (‘harlottetovvn grocery store are “terrible". Thus, at home and abroad, inferior and carelessly packaged Island potatoes are being marketed. There is no use in saying that these are isolated instances. Perhaps they are and perhaps they are not. But even if, in general, the quality is good. it does not alter the fact that one of the mainstays of our provincial economy is being imperilled by careless grading and handling. .\'othing worse could befall this Province than for our potatoes to lose the high reputation they have hitherto held in competition with products from other areas. I'n- it is checked‘-and soon---the time will come when P.E.1. pota- toes will be purchased only when no others are available. And. surely, no one needs to told what a calamity that would be to the Pro- vince‘s economy. EDITORIAL NOTES less be A prominent US. Senator has siiggested a school “especially for politicians".
