The Fordney-McCumber tariff was not popular In Canada, she sald, but it certainly was popular as compared with the recently: | enacted Hawley-Smoot law, Recall- ing 1911, she said Canada should have taken what was then offered and that would be of value now, It was most unforunate that Canada and the United States could not get governmnets of like mind into power at the same time, It was one of the trials of democracy that often governments did not repre- sent the immediate desire of the people, Migs MacPhail began her ad- dress by saying that economic ex- perts as well as 'folks' now recognized the world as an econ- omic whole. There was really no national governmental policy be- cause repercussons of individual action were felt among all nations and around the world. She asked what cauged the talk of a United States of Kurope and found the answer in the desire of 27 nations of that continent for economic rather than national determina tion. Reverting again to the point of the economic wholeness of the world, Miss MacPhail found the idea of a Canada economically self-contained "very humorous'.

At the present time there are 64 fake freighters tied up in Montreal with grain cargoes and some of these have been five weeks in that port. Owing to lake freight rates, export trade is being diverted from Montreal to New York and Van- couver, The freight rate from Fort William to New York via Buffalo and the Erie barge canal is 674 cents per bushel, while from Fort William to Montreal it is 10% cents, This dii- ference is sufficient to change the ex- port trade from Montreal to New York and also to Vancouver. Lake transportation companies ad- mit that 10%c cent rate to Montreal is higher than it should be but even at this abnormal rate the loss to lake shipping companies is enormous wing to the tie up at Montreal ich is now averaging four weeks for every grain boat, In addition to the high lake grain rates, the inadequate storage facili- ties at Montreal are a strong contri- buting factor. to the loss of "grain trade through that port. It has been the Government policy for some years to monopolize the elevator fa- cilities at that port, discouraging pri- vate enterprise and yet failing to keep pace with tl nand, For years there lias Decn congestion, great loss to lake transportation companies from the cause, and high lake rates, Ocean grain rates from Montreal, New York and Vancouver Aire ab- normally low but relatively the same from each of thgse ports to Furopean ports. The i lla in favor of New York antl Vancouver is the low- er transportation cost to them from the wheat fields than to Montreal.
