a ---------- RIGHT OR WRONG. = { ---- A Western Conservative editorial whiter in a weekly publication re- cently wrote this sentence: "The major. portion of the implements made by the Massey Harris Co., are now manufactured in Batavia near New York and whereas the company at one fime employed over 4,000 workers in Canada this total is now down: to & few hundred." the cap- tion of the editorial was "Getting it Wrong." The caption was right but the writer was wrong--this we shall presently show. . Dr. Richard B. Bennett, K.C., M.P., speaking in the House on the same subject said: "The manufac turing (of the Massey Harris Co.) {s carried on in the plant at Batavia, N.Y.

The Massey Harris Co., in a Tet- ter to the writer a few days ago made this statement: "In our Cana- dian plant at the present time we are employing about 4,000 workmen, while in our Batavia plant we are employing about 870. Moreover these figures fairly repressat the number employed throughout the year in both countries." Is that énough? Will the public for long continue to place réliance in the statements of its Bennetts or its Wrights. Yes, and you may re- ¢dll the closing remarks of Mr. Ben- nett's speech---a speech fairly reek- ing with similar statements. But lest the words have slipped your memory we put them down. Here they are; "When we find- the na- tional life of this country being sap- ped and destroyed, when Wwe find political morality no longer the watchword of contending parties, but merely the spoils of office per- haps--perhaps the people of Can- ada will look back upon this and think of the men who have violated those professions and stamped dis- honor on the national life of this young Dominion." Was this a requiem story on the part of Mr. Bennett? If people are ever punished for misrepresentation of economic facts then surely Neme- sis will mark that gentleman for its pwn and the cause of truth will not thereby be injured. \ BELIEVES COMMISSION 1S BAD. it is quite refreshing to read In the Perth Expositor, a classic Con- gervative paper, that "with two members resigned from the Civil Service Commission, it should be an easy matter to abolish a useless bit of machinery at Ottawa. The com- mission is. simply a fad. and was adopted mueh against the wishes and judgment of sane leaders in or- der to effect a compromise for Union Government. It is time it was scrap- ped. The days of patronage were far more practical and honest than the working of the expensive Civil Service Commission." Hear! hear!! OUR FOURTH INDUSTRY.
