And we are still competing with the world’s industries for a place in the world’s markets. So successfully have we managed our industries and ouritrading that some of the world’s largest manu- facturers are investing their capital with us, giving employmentfoCanadign workmen, developing Can- adian resources, building up a new nation.

. Should we make a change? What have they to offer who preach an indiscriminate reduction ora ro- moval of our protective tariff. Should we not rather first examine the conditions, ascertain where the tariff wall may be advantageously lowered, where it- requires strengthening? This is the programme mapped out by Premier Meighen. What has Mr. Mac- Kenzie King to offer?

ST. JOHN LIBERA LS‘ DILEMMA. l

-v

ti"

It would appear that the Liberals of St. John‘ Albert, N. B., have little faith in the judgment of the Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King. It will be remembered that after thinking the situation over the Liberals of this constituency decided that the best thing to do: in their own and the constituency’s interest would be to let the Honorable Mi‘. Wigmore be returned by] acclamation. Mr. MacKenzie King thought otherwise, and a deputy from Ottawa appeared on the scene.l The result was that Dr. Emery who had previously l been defeated at the general election was prevailed‘ upon to accept the nomination. The Liberal press and Liberal leaders took little stock in Dr. Emcry’s can- didature and practically the only assistance given him by the Liberal press was through paid advertise- ments. The Liberals are now thinking again and the St. John Globe sizes up the situation as follows :-—-

“Monday next, September 20, is election dalxi Whether or not there will be a contest at the polls/ depends on the outcome of efforts active and prom-l inent Liberals are makin-g to have Dr. Emery retire and perinit the return unopposed of Hon. R. W. Wig more. The effort has its origin in the firm conviction thaHan election underexisting conditions, instead of so ldifying the party strength, will keep alive feel- ings aroused by the 1917 contest and widen a breach tlif¥t6fllflg to seyer life long party affiliations, The

Li rals who signed Hon. Mr. Wigmore’s nomination un oufbtedly indicate the feelings of many others who see no inconsistency in supporting in this by-el- ection the candidate of the government they aided to power in 1917. When the life of that government ex- pires and a general election is called the situation. will present itself to these men in a different light, unless the blunders of party management divorce par t affiliations and leave them cold and indifferent to t e outcome of future party contests.”

Probably among the misguided and unfortun- ate» acts of the present government none has caused greater indignation than the indignitv heaped upon employees in having their taxes collected through ihelrem loyers. This method has been in vogue in British lumbia where some thousands of migrat- ory Chinese, Japanese and other foreigners are em- ployed and whose taxes could not be secured in any other way. So far as we can learn it has not been resorted ..to anywhere in the civilized world except among the lowest type of foreigners—and at present in’~Prince lfdun" lslrzluz". Hertofore t; 2r employees have been treated like other white men; they have been given their tax bills and, with but few excep-

But if the Hon. Robert Rogers valid happen to be an influence in the affairs of state, what of “t? ls a, man's reputation to be measured by the amount of abuse tendered him by his political oplponents‘! lf so the strong man in politics must hereafter in every case be relegated into private life.

There was never an ad- mlnistrator of the Public Works Department of Canada, to handle so extensive a program of expenditure, with ad little of complaint and a still smaller indication of corrup- tion or of Jobber-y than during his management of that dt-panhment. Because they could not find an un~ clean spot or ground for charge against hllm at Ottalwa, they sought through the partlzan Norris Gov- ernment at Winnipeg to blackcn his reputation. Without hesitation and almost unliidden he voluntarily took the stand and baffled his traduccrl. and while in that case jobbory was established against the contractors, one of whom waswmprisonod, their deelons of Meter-in: sill]; upon the duly.
