TRADE CANNOT BE ONE- SIDED (Oshawa Times) . The announcement of last week re- _ garding the raising of tariffs by New Zealand against Canadian automobiles have created niuch anxiety in Oshawa, on account of the fact that the local plant of the General Motors of Can- ada, Limited, was the manufacturi Pickering--Wednesday, Sept 17.

General Motors officials are not greatly exercised, be- cause they state that if the cars can- not be exported from Canada, on ac- count of the high tariff, they can quite easily be made in one of the United States plants. But there is no com- fort in that statement for the men who earn their livelihood in the motor industry in Oshawa. The decision of the New Zealand government, however, has brought in- to prominence the certainty that trade cannot be one-sided. No country which depends on export trade for its pros- perity can expect to prosper if it tries to shut its doors to the products of countries to which it sells. For years there has been an out-cry in agricultural circles against the New Zealand trade treaty, because it allowed large quantities of New Zea- land butter to enter Canada. The matter has been dragged into election campaigns, and the producers of but- ter have finally prevailed, to the point that the low rate against New Zea- land butter have been increased, al- though there is still a preference over the rates charged to countries outside the Empire. All through the agitation 'against the New Zealand trade treaty, "however, there were two voices which were not heard. There was the voice of the butter consumer, who was able, because of the low duty, to buy his butter more cheaply. And there was the voice of the manufacturer of goods which by reason of the New Zealand treaty, found a splendid export outlet for their products, the thie] being automobiles. Now has come the rude Awakening. For years it has been said that the agricultural industry was being ruined to help the manufacturer. Now, per- haps, it will be said that the manu- facturers are being sacrificed to help the milk producers. One cannot have cake and eat it, too, and so no country ean expect to export goods under pre- ferential tariffs, unless there is will- ingness to admit other goods on the same basis. If the New Zealand government sticks to its present attitude, Oshawa is bound to suffer, because it will lose the employment which has been pro- vided by the manufacture of auto- mobiles for export to New Zealand. So it will be hoped that wiser counsels will prevail, and that when the new trade treaty is negotiated between the two countries to take the place of the one which has been in effect for the last five years, it will be of such a nature that this important branch of Canada's export trade will not be ruined. ---- fies ONT.

Geo. S. Henry, Minister of Highways for Ontario, are put into effect. The Minister of Highways is plan- ning with the permission of the Legis- lature to straighten out the C.P.R. overhead bridge at the western limits of the town. This bridge has long been in need of drastic alterations and the procedure of this work will be wel- comed in the town. The Commission intend to spend the sum of $105,000 in the building of new cottages at the Boys' Training School and this job too would provide work for at least half of the unem- ployed in the town for a whole sum- mer. While everyone in town will hope that these works are proceeded with too much cannot be expected, for when the Legislature meets to discuss the expenditure there is bound to be a long delay making it almost impos- sible for the work to be started this year, and even then the Bowmanville project might not stand the strain of the government debate. . Meanwhile everyone in Bowmanville will watch closely for any further de" velopments along this line and will welcome the start of the work and the improvements made with the work to be done.
