tinuous supplies of butter. The cocoa- uut palm. the dried flesh of win;-se nm provides copra. rcqqulres cultiva- tion. anri only grows within some 200 miles of sou. influence. "German East
South Pat-_ll’u~_ have large cocoauut in- rlustrresf lu 1912 “German East Af- .rlcarl' plantations contained 800.000 cocoanut palms. which on an average she-uid soon be producing 25,000,000- cocoanuts per annum. The ground nut

Prior to the outbreak of war the'
price of animal fats had increased enormously and there was a steadily growing demand for vegetable bur- ters; but prejudice, based largely on ignorance. erected a solid barrier against “margarine” or “nut butter." With every increasing cost of living, prejudice has broken down, and the. consumption of nnlrgarine has be-_ come so general at the family table that even the autocrats ot' the kit-l chen are graciously condescending to consume "nut butter." i Every Germany colony. with the
exceptir-:1 of “German South-West," is suited to the production of vege- table butter and its allied food pro-- ducts. which even "Germany South- west" will assist if cotton can be grown, for cotton-seed also--spells but- ter. The four main vegetable butter ageucles in the German colonies are (ai the oil palm, tbl coprs. (c) ground nut, td) cotton-seed; two are the products of the palm trees of peren- nial growth, one rt surface plant and the other frofm_.tlu.\.. earth kernel. The cocoa. bean also produces butter. The as a price which prohibits consump- tion. ‘but ‘permits its use for the per- sonal ado-rnlnent of the fair sex.
THE BUTTER PRODUCERS.
Alike queen ovcr all. both in beauty
and productivity. is 'thc oil palm found almost everywhere in Tago- land and the Caniernons. Lord liar- court recently polutctl out that with- in the last seven years the value of the exports of raw butter prrirlucls from Hritaln‘s \Vost Africa possess- ions had “increased frurn iJ'.!,400.000 to £5,1l00.000," and there is good rcu- son to hope that the next scvcn yours will see the figures rise over A.1l0,|l00,- 000. There is no reason whatever why under suitable conditions. the Cantor- oona and Togolaud should not export
is the favorite little “monkey nut". wl\i~h grows as :rn annual crop l\1Sl beneath the sur_face of the soil. Ever." German colony produces the ground nut, -of which Europe requires about 100.000 tons per annum. The Hood of the cotton plant, but little lari§f‘l` *hall the English pea. gives a useful L-’l for butter. and still more attractive ru- gredlcnt for fancy pastry.
COCOA AND BUTTER. ,
The other two main products in
German colonies are cocoa and rub- ber. But the German colonies i~ll~ll-Ill ber. But the German colonial policy of retaining plantation production as far as possible in the hands of white ownership was not merely lnimical to the natives, but unsound from -the financial point of view. This policy involved such heavy charges upon the industry that altlrodgir Germany had 20.000,000 rubber trees. _the planters could not complete with British rub- I ber. which now dominates the world's markets. The sarme policy is primar- ily responsible t'or the failure of t.he icocoa industry. Uermany's ,cocon- produclng areas in West Africa. can- not measure less than 100,000 square miles. whilst the Brisisl_1__ areas can hardly exceed 75,000; yet the British cocoa production from the smaller area now exceeds $4,000,000. where- as thc German production barley reaches £200.000. r
There is only one way hy which
C-emnany’s Colonies can be made a success- by the efllcicnt help of the black producer. White labor in any capacity is expensive; moreover. white luhor either dies or kills itself in the tropics. The realtionshlp of the white man to indigenous pro- duction is that ol' a teacher, that of loadiuyx thu native I0 adopt rnoro scion tlilc methods ol` planting. growing, lurrvcsting and marketing his raw sup plies ol' nut lrultr-r, cocoa. rubhcr, sug- ar uml hcnr-p. it is only by this pol- ir-V that tho into tlorruan colouiclr will be -made t`rult.ful and a blessing alike to the colonies and to European und ‘American civilization.

~_,-_ _~_.*_. --
llll about war conditions, and they hlve brought this shout,
Sir W'lLll‘R.iD LAU\RIER:You seem*
V017 much involved.
Sir THOMAS Wil-iiTE`: Let us see
what the conditions- were in 1911, or even ln 1914. My right hon. friend need not take my opinion or my state Wallis: l_ shall cite to him one whme authority not even my right hon. friend will question. But let us see. just for a moment, the change that has taken place -ln' the exchange of com.modlties..between Great -Britain Blld the United States since the out- break of this war. In 1914 the ex-
Brltsln were $594,000,000 let us say $600,000,000. merchandise only, and In 1916. last year. those exports had risen to $1,500.000,000-from the Unit~ ed States to the United Kingdom. or an Increase of $900,000,000 in favour of the United -States as compared with Dliefwar exports.
At the same time. the exports of
Great'BrI~taln to the United -States had Increased only from $293,000,000 to $308,000,000. This means that ex- change has completely broken down between the. United Kingdom and the United States; that the conditions which -prevailed before the war do not prevsll . today: that an entire change has taken place both as to the Channels of trade and the conditions under which trade is carried on.
I told my -hon. friends that l would
quote-an authority to which he would d%f°l'- At the Guildhall a few days uso, Mr. Lloyd George, Prime Minis- ter of Great Britain, referring to the transportation situation and the food _conditions In Great Britain, made a 11l0St important statement. Speaklrrg about the shortage of ocean transport and its effect ln Great Britain. he said that arrangements were being made Wl\9l'€‘\JY imports wc-uid be cut down by over 10,000,000 tons yearly with- out lnterferrlng with any essential lndustry in Great Britain. Why is the Government of the.United Kingdom devoting Its energies to cutting down imports? Because of the shortage in tonnage brought about by strbma.rine Wnffafe- Sir Edward Carson said yes- terday that the losses from submarin- es were growing. There is no use mln 111111-_ing or blinking -matters; the sub- inarrme menace is a terrible one. Dur- ing the week before last 40 large British and Allied vessels and 15 Smaller ones were sunk. to say -noth- ing of neutral shipping. Thai is the condition with which we are confront- Gd today; the submarine menace to British and neutral shipping; regula- tions as to food enforced in the Unlt- erl Kingdom. Mr. Lloyd George fur- ther said. We are placing under cul- il\'=\ll0Il 3.000.000 fresh acres of land so that in 1918 we shall be able to support ourselves within the confines of the United Kingdom." Will that have any effect upon trade or upon imports of foodstuffs? This war has llwllsht about a limitation of ordin ary imports into Great Britain of ex- ports from Great Britain. Every day of my life I am asked by some inter- est ln Canada ta see if I can get the embargo lifted whereby exports from Great Britain cf commodities in which they are represented are pro- hibited from leaving the ports of the United Kingdom- the reason being, of course, the shortage of slripplng.
Coming to the wheat question,
what does Lloyd George' say? I direct the attention of my right hon. friend au,-1 of -the mein-ber for Asslnibola to the following wordsz'
There are 85,000,000 bushels' of
wheat in Canada.-
Tllat is an understatement.
-I would not say for the' asking. but for the fetching. It ought to have ‘been hero. I believe that about twen- ty or thirty million bushels of this when had to go to the United States for lack of another market. We must cut down our food until we discover lt meliloti of destroying this occult bac

This indicates that formerly the wheat had found a rnarket lu the United Kingdom. and that nor-lnally it would find its market there today if the British authorities had the ship- ping lo fetch lt.
So far as conditions aficctinrg the
sale of Canadian wheat wore former- ly concerned. (hero was a good export demand from rnlllers and others lu the' United Kingdclm for all grades of our wheat. There was a better- do- mand for the high grades. but there was. nevertheless. n demand for tho. lower grades. While there is still ul certain demand locally and by nllllcrs for thc low grades of Canadian whoat ln our Wost. it is n. [act that the ex- port demand for low grade wheat has diminished- this is precisely what you would expect- because of tho food rcgrrlattloml in the United King- dom and the shortage ol' cargo space. They adopted regulations in the Unit- ed Klngdonr with a view to getting the greatest aint-lint of food- product out of a given nrnount of -grain. I-‘or n con.-ridoruble part ol' the last few
months Stoddart and Company, who'

The hon. member for Assinihoia knows that. ln addition. it is perfect- ly clear to me that advantage was being tukeu ol' the situation with rc- gard to the lower grades of wheat and that the farmer was not receiving for the lower grades of wheat the money that he should have received. Thai was the position with which the Government was confronted. lf any- body is disposed to challenge that,let hi-in cxsnrinc the figures for March. which show in most illuminating fash- ion what has happened with regard to the channels of trade. lu the mouth of March, i016, 400,000 bushels of wheat only went from Canaria to the United States. and in the same month of this year 2.400.000 bushels of wheat worn into the United States- six ti-mea as much, -an excess of 2,000,000 bushels.
