‘A ‘GREAT SPEECH‘

The great speech delivered before the Canadian Club at Ottawa on Monday evening by the Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin will undoubtedly go down in history. It was one of those speeches which happily sum up a. great occasion, leaving its heerais inspired and exalted. It was the speech of a thinker, a phil- osopher, a. student of history, as well as of an Imperial statesman. Its text was the Imperial Economic Conference; its subject was the des- ‘tiny of the British Empire. “As a statesman,“ said Mr. Baldwin, “I often feel beyond the stream of let- ters, speeches and despatch boxes and hear the still, small voice that questions my meanings and forces me to stand in the full glare of the white light of eternity, and it is to withdraw for n few minutes that we may heed that voice which makes us think." A man who begins to discuss Imperial questions in this manner has some- thing vitally important to say. He sees, in perspective, other empires, once mighty and flourishing, which now "lie beneath the sands of the desert. blotted out and trampled upon by the footsteps of man." He asks if this, too, is the fate in store for the British Empire. It will be if we are not true to‘ our, heritage! Progress is not inevitable. The pol- itical genius of the Roman Empire did not prevent that Empire's downfall. Today, as Mr. Baldwin pointed out, Empire states- men must be imbued with a new spirit. And this spirit must be founded on international goodwill, on mutual confidence and Christ- ian harmony. For Canada and its Prime Minis- ter, Mr. Baldwin had words of special appreciation:

'“I do realize," he said, "the weight and the burden that must lie for many years to come on the shoulders of the Prime Min- ister of Canada. And Canada must be congratulated on the quality and fibre of the men who have held that great office since 1867. The Prime Minister ls the one man who must see Canada as Canada. He must view it nation- ally, as a great nation; and you must know what that means—the

' difficulties of it. Viewing Canada, 3,000 miles across, and helping to unify it in thought and in action —it is by his success in that that he will ultimately be judged. I-Ie

. must have the sympathy and support of all Canadians who love their country."

AIDING THE FARMER_

An important function. coinciding Imperial Economic Conference, was the op- ening at Ottawa last week of the the National Research Council of Canada‘. The building, a magnificent stone edif-

_~_;ice, was formally opened by Hi8

Excellency the Governor General, in the presence of statesmen from all parts of the Empire. and the opportunity was given these dis- tinguishecl visitors of seeinl ti"! efforts which this country is making to keep abreast of scientific develop" merits throughout the world and to apply scentiilc knowledge to our pgrflcular problems in the utilisa- tion of natural resources.

POLITICAL srcscuas

Yesterday's Queen's County IAber- al meeting was unique in one res- pect. The principal speakers were residents, one of Nova Seotis, the other of Montreal. Mr. W. M. Ice. the provincial lesder, thus allowed his light to be somewhat dimmed. Perhaps the recollection of the size of the audience which greeted him on his last appearance at a political meeting in Charlottetown may have had something to do with the S. O. Bfcall to which Hon. Angus L. MacDonald, provincial Liberal

leader of Nova. Scotia, so obligingly responded.

In view of the fact that Mr. Mac- Donald's speech was on Dominion affairs, and that the next Dominion election is three years in the offing, the practical value of his remarks, from the standpoint of the local Liberal Association, is somewhat doubtful.

However, as s. distinguished via- itor and leader of Liberalism in our sister Province, The Guardian takes pleasure in joining in the welcome tendered Mr. MacDonald on this occasion. It is to be hoped that his visit will be thoroughly enjoyable,

that many other British newspap- ers have consistently pursued the

.pclioy and practice of attempting

toput Canada, in particular, and the other Dominlons as well, in a very bad light.

Summing up its ophicn On this subject, the Globe, whose attitude has been consistently fair in re- porting and commenting on the Conference, says so much is at stake at Ottawa that thepublication of distorted news comes close to being a national crime. The Globe realiz- es that success at the Conference incidentally means enhanced pres-

and for the Canadan Prime Miri- ister personally, since it was through Mr. Bennett's efforts that the conference was arranged. It holds no br’ef for the Bennett ad- ministration. But it has the vision and the courage to see that carp- ing criticism at this time is not in the best interests of Empre trade. The Globe has therefore labored to promote good feeling between the various delegations, and to report the proceecfngs with fairness to all con- cerned. The result has fulfilled its expectations. The Conference‘ will go down in history asnoric of far- reaching importance. Those Liberal newspapers which, like the Globe,

have endeavored pat-rioticaliy to promote Empire interests at the Conference, regardless of politics,

are entitled to every credit,

BRIGHTENING SKIES

ual return to better business con) ditiims, made by Lieut. Col. Jack) son Dodds, Manager of the Bank of! Montreal, in the course of an ad- dress in Charlottetown last week, is well borne out by the latest state-i ment issued by the Department of’ Trade and Commerce. This state- ment cites a number of important factors as indicating a change for the better. They relate to increas-y ed activities durTng the prcsentl summer, and are as follows:

For the first time in four yeersi retail sales in Canada registered ani increase in June over May.

Wholesale prices for the first time since 1929 failed to show a re- duction from June to July.

Bani: debits increased by l0 Del‘ cent from May to June after seas- onaladjustment-s as compared witha seasonal decrease of 10.3 per cent and snulncrease of only 4.5 per cent in the corresponding periods of i931 and 1030. respectively.

tkmstruction contracts awarded during July showed a. slight increase over June contrary to the usual mid-summer decline of former yesrs.

Employment in manufacturing in- dustries showed a reported decrease of only 3,135 from June to July my; yggr s; compared to decreases of uses and 11,0“ 1h the cor- responding period of 1031 and 1930.

TWO VIEWPOINTS

"Parley enemies" is the subject of s significant editorial comment in the Toronto Globe. lending Lib- eral newspaper. ‘The Globe cites the Financial Post as criticism! the attitude of certain Liberal ‘newspapers in giving littli actual news of the Imperial Economic Con- ference and irfplsylng up serus- tional and often totally inaccurate stories of minor setbacks. ‘rhe Tor- onto Stsr, s ‘supposedly independent Llberpl sheet, is mentioned as a case in point. The Post points out that

it is significant to note, appears among its news items—nct in its editorial columns, where, presum- ably, t‘he policy of "contributions gladly received“ still prevails.

wool. SURVEY

One of the most important fiCtl\'~;

Iities of the Empire Marketing Board

has been the completion of volumes of trade statistics dealing with all

|kinds of Empire industry. The latest

publication issued by the Board is entitled "Wool Survey: a. summary of production and trade in the Em- pire and foregn countries.” and the information given should prove of great interest and value to Can- adian producers.

Canadian HKPOPi-s of home-grown wool, the report states, have devel- oped rapidly since thc war. They now amount to a yearly average of 1,000,000 pounds-about 4o per ccht of the whole Canadian production- as compared with only a. million pounds in pre-war days. Prior to 1001, the bulk was taken by the United States. but last year the Un- ited Kingdom took the major part of Canadian wool exports.

Interesting, too, is the fact that nearly one~half of the world's raw wool entering ivorid trade, is pro- duced within the British Empire. Among the other important pro- duclng areas, consisting of south America, the United States and Russia, only South America has a surplus for export. since 1926 there has been ittle variation in the consignment of raw wool from pro- ducing to manufacturing countries. and there would appear to be .no abnormally large accumulation of stocks of raw wool in the principal exporting countries. At the end of fithe 1930-31 season, when stocks in certain of the principal producing ‘areas were higher than usual, they still formed a very small part of the aggregate annual production.
