Baldwin Predicts Doom of Free Trade Age in England Manchester, England, April 10 In this great centre of the indus. trinl north, the Rt. Hon, Stanley Baldwin, leader of the Conservative party, last night preached his two- fold gospel of safeguarding and ec- onomic unity within ghe Empire, | And from the patform of Manchest. er's Free Trade Hall he predicted | the doom of free trade, ! "The age of free trade is pass-| ing" proclaimed Mr. Balwin and | he added, "whether you like it or| not." "Free trade Is passing,' repeat-| ed Mr, Baldwin, "because no free traders are being born to-day' --a | statement which raised laughs and cheers in the crowded hall, "In ten years," the Conservative leader continued, "the gole representatives of the old policy will be a few old men burning incense to the gods of their infancy." Mr, Baldwin urged Lancashire business men to turn their attention to Imperial nationalism, "Why?" he asked, "cannot we get together, I do not mean the politicians, but the industries, We should get to- gether, industry by industry, and see whether we cannot compare notes, pool our resources and make some arrangement by which we may at any rate, get, as it were, the first slice of business among the consumers of our great Empire for ourselves."

The 'infant in. of vesterday has become the "big business" of today, em- ploying thousands of workers of all craft in the large factories that dare bringing prosperity to many urban centres of the Dominion, The motor truck of today, para- doxically as it may seem, Is bring- ing Canada's. borders closer to gether, , while at the same time extending them ever onward, Jt is becoming a component part of the empire's great system of trans- portation, taking up the burden of reaching the more isolated com- munities and connecting them with the gigantic transcontinental rail way systems, Hasten Canada's Growth The growth of Canada's great neighbor to the south in the last half century was depondent main- ly on the railroads. Pushing these lines into the interior was slow work, and slower still was the ex- tension of branches. Communities settled where the railroad went their location and very life was de- pendent upon the railroads. To- day, with motor transportation, a community's existence need no longer: depend upon being located upon the railroad, Tt can be many miles away, and yet connected to the main line through motor. trans- port. Thus Canada's growth is and will continue to be greater faster than was that of the Ameri- can West. Call the railroad the countdy's backbone--then the truck lines are the vertebraesall vital to the nation's life, A break in this sys. tem and the country would be par- alyzed. _Stoppage of the 'trans- portation of goods by motor trucks over the highways would stagnate the country's national life within 24 hours. Factories dependent for their supplies upon these trucks would have to close down. Cities dependent upon motor transport for their milk and for food supplies would be in danger of starvation, The very life of the Dominion now is dependent upon trucks and buses ---motor 'transport, Value of Good Roads Recognizing the value to the national life of this mobile form of transportation, Canada is keenly awake to the value of good roads, Today the ' Dominion possesses 480,000 miles of roads suitable for motor transport. At the time of the Confederation in 1867 it had only 2,000 miles, Every province is doing its bit in this respect. carrying on for its own good and for the good of the Dominion as a whole, pushing roads forward at the rate of avproximately 7,000 'miles a year. New Brunswick, for example, is planning to spend $10.- 000,000 on a five-year nrogram of construction of hard-surfaced truck highways, 'while work ou the 32. Empire Builders . H, HENCHEL General Sales Manager, General Motors Products (Truck & Coach Div.) lad, mile Montreal Island Boulevard, to cost. $6,000,000, is expected to commence this Spring. Perhaps one industry to profit the most from the growth of the truck industry is agriculture, In fact, if all motor trucks now on Canadian farms were to be with- drawn, it is no' exaggeration to say that agriculture would 'be put back at least 30 years, Trucks and the radio have placed the farmer within easy -reach of city markets. Every day he can get the current market quetations over his radio, Then, with his truck at hand, he can load and get to market, taking advantage of the best prices obtainable, Then, too, he is relieved of the worry over a drop in prices while his goods are in transit, for he delivers now direct to his buyer and receives his check on delivery, Grain tanks for the wheat farmers of the Northwest, stake body trucks for the cattle raiser, light delivery for the poultryman---it is the boast of the Canadian truck in- dustry that there js a truck for every purpose, made in the Domin- fon. For the farmer 'who does not care to truck in his own produce and goods, there are trucking com- panies that call at his door. Speci- ally made motor vans will pick up his produce or take his live- stock to market, Tracks Boon to Railroads For the rail lines, the truck in- dustry has proved a boon. as feeders, are replacing local freights, reducing the cost of handling and cutting out delays due to the necessity of shifting cars at terminals. In the North- west, trucks of every description are being used in the building of new rail lines, replacing many freight cars which can be released for revenue-producing service, As trucks are to the freight business, so are buses becoming more and more to the passenger business, serving as feeders to the great main lines and "providing awick and mobile transportation in the cities without the necessity of the heavy preliminary expense of track laying. Such as 1s necessary for trains or street cars. Today there are more than 1,783 motor buses oper- ating in the Dominion with the number constantly increasing.

Bill 0 Washington, April 11.~President Hoover is reported to disapprove of greatly raising the trade barriers against Canad? While a joint com- mittee of the Flouse and Senate pro- ceeds in cold-blooded fashion, to ar. rive at an agreement upon higher tariff rates the administration which has to consider international senti- ment is not too comfortable about the Hawley-Smoot bill. Some officials are of the opinion that a direct affront has been offered to Canada by restoration of the countervailing duties upon such it- ems as coal and logs, From the beginning of congression al action upon the Hawley-Smoot bill the State Department has been fully informed of Canadian sentiment both from its own agents in the Dominion and informally through the legation here. Senators and congressmen with the exception of a few more astute men proceeded in construction of the bill upon the assumption that what pow= erful interests in their constituencies wanted was good for the country as a whole and that foreign trade would take care of itself. They have been cold to representations from abroad. It is generally conded the admin- ' Vinstration does mot 'stand in with this attitude and particularly as it affects Canada, SPEAKS DESPITE THREAT OF DEATH Lord Brentford Declares Tories Will Reconsider Egyptian Treaties (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, April 11, = Disregarding threats that he would be shot if he discussed the Egyptian question be- fore the British Empire Union, Lord Brentford, who as William Joynsone Hicks was Home Secretary in the last Conservative cabinet last night told the organization that the Con servatives, when gext in power, would reconsider any {treaty with Egypt which the Labor government might make if it went beyond what was already in force, The former cabinet minister was not molested in any way, either up- on arriving at the meeting or during his speech, He had recently return- ed from a trip to Egypt and his known opposition to the nationalis- tic aspirafti of that country had caused much murmuring among Egyptians here, The Evening Stan dard said that an Fgyptian tele- phoned a threat of death fo Lord Brentford DESERVED IT Mistress (to néw maid): "It peems to me you want very large wagos for one who has had so little experience."
