The reason the subject is omitted is that it con- stitutes a part of political platforms. It would seem to be a sensible and reasonable rule that all petty polit- ics should be taboo, but surely Can- ada wants its public bodies to take part in the development of sane pub- lic opinion on a subject' that méans economic life or death according to the way it is decided. Anyone who cannot endure hearing the opposite side of a question'thoroughly aired is not a very desirable member of any organization, and instead' of this question being taboo every organiz- ation should invite discussion ®nd pass a resolution récording its views. \These organizations will discuss un- employment, trade conditions, wages, immigration, emigration, taxes and transportation but the subject upon which all these rest must be men- tioned only under one's breath.

I have men- tioned some cities by name but it applies to all towns and cities and the farmers who rely upon them as customers. All are being strangled and all should be the concern of our boards of trade and other public bodies interested in forming correct public opinfon. The reasons this strangulation is taking place I shall embody here in a proposed resolu- tion and I would ask constructive members of boards of trade and oth- er public bodies to request that this resolution be discussed before the members; and when I say construct- ive I do not mean Conservative for happily I know many Liberals who are just as constructive as any Con- servatives. "WHEREAS Canada's wages are established in the ' United States by international unions and bythe law of supply and demand; that if our wages are lower than those of the United States our people go to the United States to get the higher wages. "That United States' conditions and unions thus fix our basis of cost. That Ts one horn of our dil- emma. The other horn is that if we do pay United States' rates of Wages we cannot produce our goods at prices that will compete ; with European goods made under much lower wages and sold in de- preciated currencies. Failure if we do, failure it we do not pay high wages. "That the United States ean pay high wages behind their tar- i wall Nich is three times as high as tariff that protects Canadian wages. "That this' leaves our farmers, work people and manufacturers working with their hands tied. "That this difference in tariff allows the United States to bleed Canada of $200,000,000 every year on trade balance alone. : 'That in addition we 1 about $1£9,000,000 interest - ot GANANOQUE | | March 7.--Miss Janet Robinson, | Lansdowne, is visiting friends in town. { Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Hood and {children motgred up to Toronto over the week-end.

An Exchange of Property. N.. A. McFaul, Los Angeles, and Lewis N. McFaul, Hillier, Ont., have exchanged their Southern Alberta lands for a fully equipped fruit ranch in San Fernando Valley, near Los Angeles, California, a city of over one million inhabitants.

"That unless we adopt a policy that will enable us to reduce our indebtedness we shall become bankrupt. "THEREFORE BE IT RESOLV- ED that we petition the Govern- ment of Canada to impose a tar- iff as high as that of the country that establishes for us our basis of cost." : It is my belief that Canada has only the choice of two things--a tar- iff at least as high as that of the United States, or bankruptey. Mr. Otto Kahn, of Kuhn Loeb & Comp- -|any, a banker of international fame, said in Toronto that Canada should have a higher tariff than the United cussed, not in Aa political or heated way, but in a cool, fair-minded way, willing to hear both sides.
