cheese to britain i in the last three yearsaccording to figures given injlhe dominion dairy news tetter grent britain has imported 039383200 pounds of cheese of which canada hassupplied 33 1143588 pounds new zea land 464046800 pounds the netherlands 56002720 pounds italy 31699604 pounds australia 20930- 000 pounds the united states 9069424pounds and other countries 23531104 pounds a gratifying feature is that canadas exports of cheese to the motherland increases each year the same is true of our exports in january this year compared with the corresponding month in 1922 and 1923 another satisfying feature is that the quotations for the best canadian cheese usually run from four to eight shil lings per long hundredweight higher than for new zealand into the first two weeks of february this year the quotation for canadian cheese per 112 pounds was 93 to 102 shillings and for new zealand r- 92 to 96 shillings the greatest expansion of trade ever seen and itbis movement towards prosperity canada has obtained a running start said sir george paish distinguished british economist in an interview with press repre sentatives on njs arrival at winnipeg recently the year 1924 sir george declared was the turning point wmich would always be remembered for the first tima since the war a reasonable attitude has been sho vn on international problems 1 cannot emphasize too greatly the fact that the world is a unit whicji stands or falls together he added i anticipate high prices for canadian wheat over a considerableperiod of years canada is ready now to increase her production greatly the railways are there all thpje is needed is farmers to till the soil and these should be easy to get thus in the next decade sir george asserted i expect to see the canadian fanner prosperous and the vexing can adian railway problem solved through increased traffic the situation in canada today i confronted in canada today with a situation which ispartly an honorable warscar and partly a selfinflicted wound ids essential that our obliga- lions be met and cheerfully met all must be dis charged and none increased if business principles tf ytcvuiled the discharge should be rendered as easy as is proper and possible the reduction of obligations being aided by individual exertions curbed expen ditures and public and corporate thrift this is precisely the attitude of the liberal government to the position in which the country is today in the first place they have no apprehensions regarding the future of canada and they are taking elaborate care i to avoid false economic principles they recognize j t that there are certain difficulties which we ourselves must surmount the government knows- that more people are needed in the country and the reason why we need them is that we are not able to realiza 5upon our we lth without their assistance that we are not able to reduce the burden of taxation on the jjgjpt population without more production and the

they have a feeling that with automobiles and railways and telegraph facilities- for speeding up life they crowd twice as much experience into a day as the people of a century ago could i doy and that if they are to liye busjf active lives il aey can only write the briefest most necessary leters if fifed those who arenot churlish or ungenial about expressing themselves in speed write dry and meager

canada and canadians these are the encouraging words that more than any others have given direction and im pulse to liberal doctrine liberal policies and liberal principles these fundamental ideas have beei translated inter political action by prime minister mackenzie kfng and bis government at ottawa we are a young country we have problems the new conditions thatwe face are unlike any that have gone before but just as our political history has shown that the fathers of liberalism in canada met their difficulties with head erect and knee unbent so too in this day and the days to come we canadians must face the conflict meet the problems and solve the troubles with a new application ot- the old princi pies and policies that is why in this virile young country with so much to do so much to be finished that liberalism blows its trumpet call to all men to do service for their country patriotism without service or practical works is an empty sound any thing that is easy to do is not of any value our problems are severe they must be faced and we must acquit ourselves like ted blooded canadian men and women our vast mineral treasurers lie before us to be revealed by the hand of toil our smiling acres call to our strong young men for tillage our in land streams and lakes and oceans wide teem with their millions for the fishermans net our forest stands ready for the woodmans
