The reas- ons given for banning these imports, namely, that the Government is con- vinced there is forced labor in thc cutting of timber and mining of coal in Russia, that political prisoners are exploited. that the standard of living is below any level conceived in Can- ada, that employment is in the con- trol oi the Communist Government which regulates all conditions of work and seeks _to impose its will upon the whole world. are glossed over by these newspapers. For ex- ample the Manitoba Free Press, in a comment quoted editorially by the local Liberal organ, suggests that "Russian trade with Canada was not very hcavy, and hardly important enough to draw such a far-reaching theory of commercial exchange from, Mr, Ryckman, whatever justification there may have been for applying the embargo." The Ottawa Citizen re- 'marks that, "it may seem to be in Canada's interest to take the same attitude us Washington politically, but United States interests are mis- sing no opportunity to do business with the Soviet authorities. Russian orders for machinery, diverted from Canadian firms, will very likely go to the United States." The lntcst pro- Rumian propaganda appears in the form of an Ottawa despatch signed by one F. C. Mcars, (a journalist who ' accompanied Mr. Mackenzie King to England on his Imperial Conference visit some years ago) and is featured on lhc front page of Tuesday's Pat- riot, under the heading; "Considered Blow to Unemployed." It complains that the Government's action "gives a dearth blow to the negotiations of those who for many months have been cocking a market in the Soviet Republic for certain manufactures,” and suggests that “while the step taken will please certain people in ‘Fulani-o who are continually seeing "Rod," yet the business that might have been secured had not Russian coal been barred from Canada, would have afforded much to the presently needed employment lnCanada." It. is amusing to note these regret- fzll references to the loss of Russian trade in newspapers which a few weeks ago, prior to the embargo, were getting "all set" to denounce the Bennett Government for having any truck or trade with the Communists. Here is an example of the stuff that was being conrocted, It is from an adltorinl page anonymous corcspond- en: in cur local contemporary. “It should not take men with red blood in their veins long to send the Communists of Russia an answer. Then. why does the Ban- llntt Government hesitate? It ap- pears to me, on this question there are two sides. (‘m the one.

The Bennett Government ls In the position oi a judge to set- tle the question. and on its decis- ion it will be judged. and we will then see who rules this country. the people or the manufacturers." Strange what a silence has fallen upon three patriotic advocates, now that the enlbargo has cone into ef- fect! One would imagine they had somehow been disappointed in their expectations. To its credit, one Liberal newspap-i er has‘ come out manfully in praise of the Government's action. ’I‘hnt newspaper is the Toronto Globe. It commends the embargo IL "I WM Lllslness move and patriotic step." "Canada," it says, “ha!

Notwithstanding the many distress- ing accidents reported almost daily, it is satisfactory to note that there has been l decline, though small, in the number of fatalities as compared with 1920. _In Ontario, 11s a whole, deaths from the automobile hazard head the list, but the fatalities per thousand automobile vehicles have shown a great decrease. During the first year after the Ontario League was organized the number of fatal- ities per thousand cars was cut in two; each succeeding year showed a prggfasgive drop and they actually fell from 6.0 in 1913 to 0.4 in 1030. Had the ratio of fatalities for 1913 been continued lt is estimated there would have been 570 in 1930, instead of 44 actually. The calculation gives some idea of the “Safety Iursvlvvrk which has been carried on.

The fault is that we are not particular» enough bestow praise where it is unmerited and unthinkingly withold it where royally deserved. We are very apt to mistake gilt for gold,‘ "gulle for goodness, _ and gusto for greatness. The mun who comes to the front- whether deserving or not—recelves the applause of the populace, whilst the obscure and unpretentious, perhaps very worthy, pass unhon- ored to their graves. There is the very unsatisfactory feature presented in the preponder- unce of raw materials in Canadian exports to the United States, but at lest our neighbors are no longer getting it both ways, and the pros- spect is that the forthcoming, re- vision of the tariff by the Bennett Government will still further rectify Canada's trading position. It will for example, bring more American branch factories into Canada, and the prospect of a substantial in- dustrial migration is not being over- looked by economists in the United States. i ' The West Indies are naturally Canada's tropical annex, by rea:on of proximity and British ownership“ Canada has to import the products they have for sale, and the white population there has to import many articles available in this country. The impetus given by the steamship service and the closer attention to this trade has been encouraging, but in the view of an expert who has made a survey for the league the possibilities are ex- tensive. It is estimated that only the popularlzing of products is needed to get a West Indian market for $30,000,000 worth of Canadian goods, and a Canadian market for 00,000,000 worth of West Indian produce which this country has to import. Greater attention to the potentialities would assuredly. lead to employment of Canadian cap- ital in developing the fertile islands. The prospect is alluring. It requires only the fixed thought that Canada interest because oi climatic con- ditions and a common obligation as members of the Empire.

There is one thing about the 1911 election that is still remembered and ls not likely soon to be forgotten, and thllt was the attempt of the champions of the or trade with the Yankees." That but a Liberal canard. It was in- vented by thc Liberal campaign headquarters, chiefly for use in the Prairie West, where voters of Ameri- can origin domlniated many of the districts, and lt was cchbed and featured in all Liberal newspapers, in on effort to cast ridicule on the Conservative opposition to the pact. The point to be noted is that nel- ther the leader of the Conservative party in 101i nor any of his candid- ates or responsible followers ever laid down the stupid proposition that Canada should have "no truck nor Ill WB M. mo ceaselessly Till the bridge you will trade with the Yankees." Nor d0 the Conservatives of today take any such position, despite the exclusive tariff measures adopted by the United States Government.
