RECOVIZRS FROM l\I.\I.AR.IA.— Friends of Bcnjnlnln F.

Benjamin left New York early in the slimmer, for the East, ceiling first at St. Helena. then to Cope Town, and port Elizabeth, Durban, thcn up Coast to Dar-es- Salnnm and lastly to Mombasa where the party went inland, and have now arrived snfaly‘ back ns far ns Durbnn, and on tho home stretch.

the value of U. S. bulbs. If’ they are imported dircct from Japan, which is n. country with a depre- elated currency, section 35 (2). de- clnres they must be valued at the same level as similar goods manu- fncturcrl in Grant Britain. The price of bulbs in the United Kingdom is very high, much high- er than in the U.S., so that impor- iaiion vin the U.S. is the only pos- sibie method of doing business. The 25 per cent rebate was offered bccrulsc it was conceded at Ottawa that the‘ Japanese bulbs are infer- ior to the U.S. bulbs. The duties complained of were calculated on the U.S. price level.

“"f‘he National Revenue Depart-

~; mcnt docs not deny the existence ‘ of trusts and cartels which may

opcrnteytn ‘fleece’ Canadian con- sumers.” , Free Press Comment

Commenting editorially on Mr. Ihntoirs complaint, the Winnipeg Liberal paper says:

“Fuels sct forth in our corres-

the tariff on electric light bulbs have exposed another case cf ‘in- creased protection accorded by rc- intcrpretai-ion of the Customs Act by udtninistrative action. This, coupled with the similar case tn the matter of the duties on solid rubber tractor tires, shotvs that some form of drastic action is ne- cessnry, ‘

"In this case it is affirmed that the Canadian consumer is being flccccd by trusts or cartels com- prising the manufacturers on this continent. Retail prices in the United States are much lower than 'in Canada, according to the evi- dence. If a retailer tries to take advantage of the lower United States prices by importing, he is told that the manufacturers sell in Canada. only through their chosen representatives-that is, they will not permit ilrice levels ncrc to be broken. When the price differen- tial is alleged to be ns great as two cents for an automobile bulb in the United States, against 10 ccnts for the some nrliclc in Can- ada, the public ititcrcst demands intervention.

"If the retailer socks escape from this alleged cartel by attcmptingto buy from Japan, he is confronted by insurmountable, high tariff, barbed-wire entanglements.

"The view of the National Rev- enue Department is that the tariff is enacted by Parliament. and must be enforced. This is true enough. But it is surely oituwlvs responsi- bility to protect the public from extortion by trusts m‘ 68-14818. flfld when allegations o! this kind 8T9 mude, prompt and exhaustive in- qulry should follow as a matter of course, If the facts are as cited, the Government should move at once, and in no uncertain way. to

YoungPeople Hold Rally

The Central Division of the Pres- byterian Young People's Union ofi Prince Etiward Island held a very successful Rally in Marshfieltl Presbyterian Church Friday even-l ing, October ninth at eight o'clock. Mr. Reginald MacNutt presided and the devotional exercises included, the reading of Matthew 5:33-4B;I then Rev._Ed\vin White, Convener" of Young People's societies, offer- ed prayer.

The musical programme consist- ed ofwocal solos by Miss Emma McNcvin, lyrics Jean McNcvin and Mr. Harry Yorston; violin solo, Miss Marion McLennan and a read- ing, Miss Frances Munn. '

The accompnnists for the even- ing were Mrs. Willis Nicholson and Miss Elnma McNcvin.

Mr. John Denny was the special speaker for the evening and gave an address on “Pcace."

Rev. John McNcill, Rev. G. Carlyle Webster, Rev. Edwin White. Mr. Glen Partridge and Mr. Tal- madge Foster also spoke briefly.

On motion of Rcv. Mr. Webster‘ it was agreed to send cordial greetings to the Ontario Presby- terian Young Peoples Confsruncel meeting in Hamilton, i

On motion of Rev. Edwin Whiiel it was also agreed to send a letter} of good wishes to Zvrr. Lorne Mc- Kay, vire-ilrcsitlent of the Union, who is at present a puticnl in the Prince Edward Isl-anti Hospital.

"Then tlicrc is the duul‘) (luiy? section of the Tariff Act. This s 5 ‘ lion declares that dump (lu . shall not cxcwd 50 per cent ad valorcln. The statute fails to soy; what the 50 per con: shall tipplv to. Is it the invoice price, or some arbitrary valuation concocted by‘ ingenious officials at Ottawa? The; electric bulb case indicates that. Ottawa is now enforcing this dump duty on arbitrary and not actual valuations. On bulbs, it is said. the difference is between 45 cents per 100 bulbs. nctilnl invoice price, and $2.04 per 100 bulbs. arbitrary valuation. 'I‘hc 520i is n dump duty imposed on Japanese bulbs imported via the United Slates and arbitrarily valued. on entering this country, at the fair "market value in the United States.’

“Still More Amazing" "Still more amazing is the ruling

l

countries with depreciated curren- cies (this included Japan) mustlbc valued, and dump duties imposed, on the basis of the price of sinlilnr goods in the United Kingdom. The price of bulbs in thc United King- dom is excessively high, so that

direct importation from Japan is out of the question.

"If the 1aw'is as represented. the customs officials are not. to blznnc. But the law should be amended to make it clear that dump dutlcs are to be imposed, if at nll, on actual or invoice values and not on the fancy prices decreed by trade ex- clusionists in the National Rcwnuc Department.

“Lastly let it be noted that. in this particular case, the Depart- ment of National Revenue, under the Conservative regime, overlook- ed the fact that duty was being_ under-paid. It remained for some protectionist vigilante to discover the loophole after the low-tariff Liberal Government. went into of- flee. Then up went the duties. This is a case of administrative zeal far from the liking of the Liberal par- ty.

"It may be snid that the Cus- toms Act pernlits it. In that case, the Customs Act should be chang- ed, and changed quickly. Mr. Ilsley, the minister in charge, is a Liberal of conviction. It is n scandal that case after case of.’ legal increases in duty should be put through the‘ department of which he is the head. It seems likely that some protec-
