THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 102%. ists FREE TRADE'S STRONGHOLD GONE. For generations Great been looked upon as the On a policy of free Britain has onghold commerce which was the greatest ever known in the world's history; she built up a merchant marine to carry her goods to al] parts of the | efforts of all other nations to usurp | her proud position as the world's greatest carrier of trade and com- merce. When all other countries turned to protection, Britain held fast to her policy of free trade, and found that the policy was a paying one. Under successive administra- tions the policy was upheid, Great Britain prospered, and her industries flourished, But these are changed times, and now the last stronghold of {ree trade has gone; and Britain is definitely putting into force a policy | Of protection for her industries. This change is a significant indica-~ 313 tion of the necessities of the after war struggle for commercial and in- dustrial supremacy, nay, for indus- | trial existence. Britain has been | forced nto 'this step by the competi- [tion of other nations who have al | ways had a policy of protection. In | order that her key industries might [be able to survive the trying times | through which they are passing, | there has been passed a "'Safeguard- | Ing of Industries Act," which comes {into force this month. In this act lit is provided that, "all imported | goods, if not grown, produced or manufactured in the British Empire, which are scheduled under this por- tion of the act (relating to key in- | dustries) will be charged hencefor- { ward with a customs duty df 33 1-3 | per cent. of their value." { This act means that Great Britain, compelled to put into force a high | Protective policy against all foreign | 80ods in certain extensive lines of { British manufacture. It has been | found that the old policy of free | trade is not suited to the present day | of keen industrial competition. While | the free trade policy lasted, Great | Britadn was flooded with foreign goods, mainly from Germany, made by cheap labour paid for in a cur- 'rency which had little or no value in the British market, while at the same time British industry was stag- nant, and millions of skilled work- men were unable to find employment owing to the factories being closed or on short hours. This change in Great Britain is of special significance to Canada at the present moment. No clear thinking views might be, can surely stand on & platform and advoeate that Canada BO back to a.policy of free trade, when thé world's greatest free trade country has given it up because the trial supremacy is so keen as to make it an unworkable theory. There is no longer any country in the world which even pretends to believe in free trade, and while it is true that there may be limits to the measure of Protective teriff which .may be im- Posed in order to safeguard indus- tries, it is even more true that the country which thinks of adopting free trade In these hard times for in dustry is bringing upon itself a cer- tainty of defeat in the world's indus- trial markets, OGMING TO THEIR SENSES, Ontario became a power .in politics the other parties have been pointing to the system of recall as one of the weaknesses in the form of govern- ment which {s being proposed by the agrarians, They have always main- tained that the system ' whereby a member of the federal or provincial house could be compelled to resign because his actions did not please a handful of individuals, is a pernic- fous one, and one which restricts the freedom of members of these legisla- tive bodies, and ties them down to a very limited course of action. The very fact that a member's résigna-- tion Is written and handed over to an executive before he ever takes | his seat is bound to make him more or less héld down in many matters in which he may not see eye to eye with those who hold that resignation, and the result of such a restriction can never be, for the good of Canad- ian politics, There are indications, however, that the U.F.0. are beginning to come to their senses, and are begin- ning to see that the recall system is a dangerous one, As a result, they have changed their regulations for parliamentary candidates, by taking the power of exercising recall out of the hands of the 'executive commit- tees with whom it has hitherto rest- ed. By the old system, if the mem- ber's conduct at Ottawa or Toronto were unsatisfactory, he would be called to account, and his resigna- tion, which he had signed in ad- vance, would be sent by this commit- tee to the speaker of the house in which he was a member. Under the new system, however, things are slightly different. When the recall resignation is now signed, it will be placed in the hands of an executive committee, as before, but this committee will not have the bower of approval or disapproval of his subsecuent condust. If his con- earth, and she successfully defied the | hitherto for three-quarters of a cen- | tury a free trade country, has been | man, no matter what his political | struggle for markets and for indus- | Ever gince the United Farmers of | j duet is not satistactory, and he is not ! ble to give the committee a eatis- | | factory explanation, the delegates of | the convention which nominated him {will again be called together, the member will be required to give them any explanation he may have, and { they shall decide whether or not he shall be called upon to resign his | seat, This new system, although a little better than the old, is still far from being. in acdord with the accepted {principles of British government. { When a man is elected to parliament, | he is elected to represent, not merely | those, who attended the convention {at which he was nominated, but the whote electorate of his constituency. { It 1s, therefore, inconceivable that he | should be called upon to do only such things as will be acceptable to a {handful of the electors, when at the | same time hie may be serving the best interests. of the whole community. At all times ¢ircumstances may arise {in parliament in which it may be necessary for the member to go | salnst some of the desires of his | nominators in order to serve the best | interests of the country, and should | he do so, it is not right that the club | of a forced resignation should be held | over his head. While that club exists, [ the member {8s not a representative | of his constitueney, but merely a de- | legate from the convention which | selected him as a candidate, and as | such he is not fully and wisely repre- senting the people. The change in the recall system is | but a step towards its absolute aboli- tion, It may not be abolished by { quick steps, but its abolition is com- |Ing, and the sdoner it does come the | better it wil] be for the politics of | Canada. | PLAY IN EDUCATION, During the past week or so | Teachers' Institutes all over the prov- ince have been holding their annual | sesgjons, and from the reports of their meetings it is Interesting to note the amount of time and discus- sion devoted to the subject of play, as a branch of education. This, per | haps, is partly due to the fact that, |at the annual meeting of the Ontario { Educational Association, held in To- | ronto last Easter, at least four of the | chief speakers on the programme | dealt with the subject of play, or | school athletics, The place which play or athletics should occupy 4n the schoo] life is a | matter which has aroused a great {deal of controversy amongst educa- | tionists, particularly between the old | school and the new. The old school, las represented by the average type of rural school inspectors, are aghast at the large part which play is allow- ed to ocoupy in the school life of the | boys and girls of to-day. They point to their own school days, to the days { when work and study alone formed their school activities, and put for- ward the usual plea: "We did not have any time for play when we were at school, and our schools then turn- ed out just as good men and women as the schools of to-day." They claim that play is now occupying the hours which used to be spent .in home study, and that the boys are spending 80 much time in athletics that they become so tired, physically, that they are unable to prepare their lessons for the next day. Such is the argu- ment of the old school, which cannot see the advantage to be gained by organized sports for school children. The mew school of thought, how- ever, is in the ascendancy. Its de- votees are convinced that education means a little more than simply teaching boys and girls in the curri- culum subjects so that they can pass examinations. They realize that true education means teacking boys and girls how to lve properly, and how to use their God-given talents and opportunities for the best good of themselves and their fellow men. In such an education games must play a part. Recreation {is a8 means of de- veloping self-expression and of stimulating the imagination. It de- velops self-control in those who take part In games, and, by giving some system and method to the play of the children, instead of simply having their play hours spent in a haphesard fashion, it acts as a stabilizing influ- ence on the school life of the chil- dren, The great benefit of the modern idea of school games, however, is that it brings a closer personal rela- mind of the scholar, and this feeling was so strong that it created a dis- | Jike for school and made the scholars glad when they reached the age limit, The modern method, with work and play judiciously intermingled, makes the teacher more a friend and mentor. and less of dn over-bearing tyrant. It creates in the minds of the chil- dren a respect for the teacher, born of a close knowledge of his or her good qualities, and not born of tear, and tends to make scholars take a genuine interest in their school work. While there may be a danger that ina, wetyengian, may come to take too large a place in school life, there can be mo doubt that it is of great benefit for pupils and teachers to join together in healthy, organis- ed sport, and to cultivate the doe- tring that e healthy body means a healthy mind.
