_ their meaning, they agree in this, that they would _ greatly facilitate the entrance into this market of _ American articles of a kind that our own people are producing. Mr. King and Mr. Crerar are _ both in favor of opening up this market to the _ output of American factories and American farms, notwithstanding that the United States _ has just hoisted up its tariff duties on the staple â€" products of our agricultural industry and is now _ putting through Congress a tariff that will close _ out the products of other Canadian industries. _ Every public speech Mr. Meighen delivers _ lifts him higher in the estimation of the Canadian _ people as a statesman and as a man of character. _ He deals honorably with the people and he puts _ the public interest above every other consideraâ€" _ tion. With him personal or: party objectives _ have little weight as against what he conceives _ to be the public good. Power and place are lures that have deflected some of the public men of _ this country from the line of principle, and have _ caused them to speak with two voices or three â€" voices upon questions of vital interest to the _ people, but neither power nor place is desired by _ Mr. Meighen at the cost of good faith with the â€" electors. He tells the people what he stands for, â€" and lets them know that he will not hold office except for the furtherance of the policies he lays W before them. The reasons. he last Thursday night gave the great London audience for decidâ€" _ ing to advise the dissolution of Parliament and _ the bringing on of a general election were reasons _ that.will deepen the public respect for him. The people already knew and admired him as a â€"man _ incapable of misleading them, as a man steadfast in support of his convictions, but the speech they â€" heard from him last night impressed them more than ever with his determination above all other _ things to consult the public interest. He and his Government might have remained in office two years longer, but he was convinged that it was his duty to refer to the people without further delay the paramount question of the hour, that of tariff policy. He maintains and on all platforms _ has maintained that, for the industrial upbuildâ€" ing, the economic development and the real inâ€" _ dependence of this country a protective tariff is necessary. By the Liberal Opposition leader and _ by the Farmer Opposition leader it is contended, on the other hand, that protection must be swept away. There are differences that vary from day _ to day between the statements of tariff policy of these two leaders, but, however they may veil ‘â€"â€"â€" Canada‘s Parliament is to be dissolved and a _general election is to be held before the end:of the year. That is the important announcement made by the Prime Minister in his speech in \London Thursday night. It was not unexpected. The idea had lately got into the air that there was not to be another session ‘of the present \ Parliament, and when it became known that Mr. _ Meighen was to speak in London it was generally _ surmised that he would make the announcement he has made of a forthcoming appeal to the _country.

Single copies 5¢. § * ‘â€" The Meighen Government has from the first been attentive to the claims of industry upon it. Not to speak of what has already been done by the budgets of Sir Henry Drayton to favor our own producers, and notwithstanding the searchâ€" ing inquiry that Sir Henry and his colleagues made in their tour of the country by way of preâ€" paration for tariff revision, the carrying out of a scheme of revision could not but be delayed if a general election were put off, and it is of the first necessity for this country that the debate beâ€" tween the Crerar and the King Opposition on the one hand and the Government on the other should be settled by the voice of the people. If a short session of Parliament were held â€"this Autumn for the purpose of putting through a redistribution, it could not get to work on that question until the first of December, and it could not complete the work before the end of the year. As Mr. Meighen points out, that would bring on _an election campaign in midâ€"winter. Before the new Parliament could do anything by way of tariff legislation for the better protection of inâ€" dustry and the consequent relief of the unemâ€" ployed many months would pass. So the Prime Minister made up his mind that it was the duty first‘to learn the will of the people on the burning question of tariff policy. It is for that reason that the election is to come on before the end of the year. When the people have spoken it will â€"be known whether the Medicine Hat verdict or the principles for which Mr. Meighen stands are wanted by the country. : _ THE TIMES AND GUDE KO. UMIICU DIALLURS.

Not only is the question of speedily arriving at tariff stability and therefore at industrial staâ€" bility one of present urgency, but also the matter of determining whether government is to be carâ€" ried on upon a class basis or upon a national basis. For his part Mr. Meighen resolves to administer Canada as a national organic unit. To do otherwise he regards as an unpardonable sin, and to bring about a failure that would be disasâ€" trous for all classes alike. And he is further reâ€" solvec that under his administration Canada will never be dependent on the fiscal decision of another nation.

CHARTERS, Pres. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1921 E DIT O RIA L A GENERAL ELECTION 7. CHARTERS, Sec.â€"Treas S. WILSON, Manager. The financial position to be faced this year in Canada is thus briefly summarized 5y the Ottawa Journal : There is an estimated expenditure of $425,000,000 that must be paid out of current revenue. On the basis of last year‘s taxes, and making due allowance for considerable decline in customs return and the dropping of the Busiâ€" ness Profits Tax, the minister estimates a reâ€" venue for the year of about $63,000,000 to be bridged ; and to accomplish this the Sales Tax, which last year brought in seventy millions, is increased, roughly speaking, about twentyâ€"five per cent. This, with a more than doubled tax on liquors, which, on the basis of last year‘s returns, ought to bring in at least ten million dollars, ought: to prove adequate. Remains, of course, about $160,000,000 chargeable to capital account and to make up railway obligations; but as a great deal of the latter can be refunded, and in view of the fact that Britain owes us approxiâ€" mately $150,000,000â€"some of which will be paid this yearâ€"there is nothing much over which to worry. & Canadian provinces, thousands from the neighâ€" boring states and from Europe have here an opportunity to learn much of the varied character of the Dominion‘s resources.. The display this year is slightly more varied than in the past, and does credit to the directors in every particular. The Toronto exhibition is a great advertisement for Canada. f The Toronto Exhibition continues to increase in numbers and in usefulness from year to year. Every department of Canadian activity and enâ€" terprise is represented. People from all the _ The newlyâ€"formed republics of Europe are not afraid to attempt what an old republic like the United States would not venture on. In Czechoâ€" Slovakia, for example, they are enforcing compulâ€" sory voting, and heavy fines are inflicted by law upon any citizen failing to exercise his or her franchise rights. Within three days after election day delinquent voters are summoned to court, and unless a valid excuse is forthcoming, a fine of $100 is imposed, or, in default of payment, one month in jail. The only persons exempt from the rigors of the law are those over 70 years of age. In Canada, where only about 50 per cent. of the people are entitled to the franchise, no governâ€" ment has yet been found with sufficient courage to grapple with an admitted evil, probably beâ€" cause it is recognized that this would be a very form of conscription. Peterboro‘ Examiner:â€"There is a tendency in the playing of games toâ€"day to take them too seriously, to set the phantom of succeess as the ideal. To these people the winning is the only thing that matters. It is this deadly seriâ€" ousness that marks the American athlete, with his intensive training and his large expenditures. There is a danger that this spirit may so petâ€" meate the playing of games as to become a menâ€" ace. The game that is not played with a smack of careless adventure is not played according to the code which Britain has adopted for genâ€" erations. Britain‘s amended liquor license bill is enough to make a thirsty man wish he were back in dear old London, where a man need have no thirst, and his worst restriction is an eightâ€"hour drinking day. A further reduction of 20 per cent. in wages by the United States Steel Corporation, which becomes effective next Monday, makes a reducâ€" tion of 45 per cent. in a few months. Day labor is now being paid at the rate of 30 cents an hour. Whis is a great change in three years. The very large number of prisoners who have escaped from Ontario gaols during the past few years should cause the provincial authorities to give heed to the conditions of the buildings and the ability of the keepers. In most instances escapes are made possible by the failure of offiâ€" cials to do their duty. 4 A leading business club in Harrisburg, Pa., has unanimously adopted a resolution placing itâ€" self upon record as opposed to any event under the auspices of the club, whether social or busiâ€" ness, being fixed or called at any hour on Wedâ€" nesday evening, the time usually set apart by Christian Churches forâ€" their midweek prayet services. There is to be a reduction in freight rates alâ€" most imediately, is the expectation of shippers, following a statement made by the Chairman of the Railway Board a few days ago. With the increase of wages a few years ago came a corâ€" responding increase in rates. Now that there is a reduction in wages a drop in freight rates is sure to follow. It is expected the new schedule will be in force before the moving of the western grain begins. â€" ~ A burning question in France just now, as recent conferences on the rebuilding of the devâ€" astated districts show, is whether the Germans should be allowed to make good what they have destroyed. In the ten departments of France which were overrun by the Germans there are 2,732 destroyed districts. The department which has the largest number is the Aisne‘with 654. The Somme comes next with 351 ; the Marne has 2%7, the Meuse 336, and the Meurtheâ€"etâ€"Moselle 223. The people of these devastated districts are weary and discontented with the long delay in restoring the waste places. They want to forâ€" get the horrors of the war and to begin life anew, and most of them are willing to accept aid from any quarter for this purpose. A scheme of reâ€" construction has been put forward by which the villages, canals, roads and railways would be reâ€" constructed by Germans, in payment of their reparations debt, the German Government findâ€" ing the money, material and labor, and also being held responsible for feeding and lodging the workers. While this scheme is acceptable to many of the French, there are some who are opposed to it because of their aversion to the idea of German workmen, who probably had a hand in the orgy of wreckage and spoliation, returning to France. Some districts are disposed to accept German material without German workmen, arguing that there is sufficient labor in France and in the Allied countries to do the work.
