Still Knocking the Farmers .

The Liberal organ disagrees with Mr. J. W. Boulter, secretary oi the Provincial Dairy Associatlonfas to the average price of butter in 1929. It disagrees with Proi. W. J. Reid and lion. W. M. Lea, Minister oi Ag- riculture, that the scarcity of green feed in 1929 aflected the total pro- auction. 1t disagrees with the m- tional Dairy Council that the dairy industry, with the increased cost of I winter production and the greatly in- creased importation of cheap New Zcaland butter, is facing s serious situation this year. Finally, it dis- agrees with itself. On January 11th it proved to its own satisfaction that the Conservative policy oi adequate protection for the dairy industry would only result in raising the price oi the retail product, thereby "in- creasing the wealth of the manu-

_ _facturer at the expense oi the con-

sumer"; whereas on Feb. 15th it proved, again to its own satisfaction that a protective tarifr of twelve cents l pound in the United States pro- duced exactly the opposlte result, the best creamery butter being offered retail in such a supposedly good mar- ket as New York City on February 9th at a price claimed by the Pat- riot to be several cents lower than the retail price in Charlottetown on the same date.

As to ‘sire price of butter, our far- mers are in "no danger of being fooled by the New zealand propagan- diets ,whether at home or abroad. They know that one year ago the loc- al creameries were receiving 42% cents wholesale for their butter while today the highest quotation. delivered Montreal, is 36% cents. When this winter's price is added to that of next summer, which will con- stitute the year's operation, it will take more than ,the ingenuity oi election cam, ‘ to convince them that the importation of some 50,000,000 pounds oi New zealand butter will be an aid to their indus- try. The local Liberal organ has evi- dently relegated the old established law of supply and demand to the background 'in attempting to Prove that the greater the supply, the

" higher the price will be; but our far- mers, having no political axe to grind, will be less easily convinced.

The Patriot has challenged "It statement that the cost of produc- tion has inc-rams. We have already quoted Hon. iilr. Lea on the scarc-

"lty oi green feed, which necessarily WNW“! ""- 3"‘ ls Jnothcr illustration: ‘BOW u that our cit! mwb milk- mm gouulfit necessary to advance s csntss quart?

attitude towards the interests of Canadian dalrymen may well be

gauged from the following extract‘

culled from a Patriot editorial of Jan. 8: t

“It has been charged that un- labelled New Zealand butter is sold as the Canadian article. li this is so and if the diflerence in quality cannot be detected, it would show that New Zealanders are turning out a good article."

We commend the foregoing quota- tion to the careful conslde " of our dairy producers. As an indication oi the kind oi assistance, they may expect from the local Liberal organ

Judge C. Gavin Duffy

The ann- ncement of the appoint- ment of Mr. C. G. Duffy, K. C., to,‘ the position oi Judge o! the county

Court of Queen's County has set-l

rise to much speculation in Liberal quarters. Mr. Duffy has been suc- cessful in his legal practice‘ in this city, and as Liberal candidate on‘ three occasions for the Provincial‘ Legislature‘ ho had political claims upon the position which were evi- dently considered favorably at Ot- tawa. Aswspeaker of the House dur- ing the Bell administration Mr. Duf- iy showed that he could be impar- tial; and the ability to see both sides of a case and give an unprejudiced clec" a is a necessary qualification for any judgeship. In this respect it ls believed that he will be as suc- cessful on the Bench as he has been at the Bar.

‘To the politician who has tasted the‘ bitterness oi defeat as well as the transient glories oi office, and whose immediate prospects oi re-el- ectlon as Liberal candidate were, to say the least, somewhat doubtful, it must be a decided relief to come to rest in the safe harbors“ of a County Court Joageship- frhe ma" who, in the prime oi life, reaches such a harborase. and has the oh"- Qwphy to appreciate its advantl!!! 1, go be congratulated. We do most heartily congratulate l-lis H0110? Judge Duffy, and trust that he will epjoy his realised ambition for many years to come. ’

The furious snowstorm and gale of Sunday last has blocked the railway‘ and highways with drifts and left us for the time without carferry,‘ trains, mails or airplane service all at once. Nothing like it has occur-l red since 1905. when were the, churches of this city ever before‘ nearly all closed on a. ’ even-l ing? The other day Cape Breton, was snowed under.

A seat in the Senate has been of- fered to Mrs. N. F. Wilson oi Otto.- wa. according to a despatch from that city. And if she accepts it is un- derstood that she will be named us Canada's woman representative at the Conference on the codification oi international law. Her husband, Nor- man F. Wilson a former M. P. for Russell County, was since efeatcd in Ottawa as a federal Liberal can- didate. The Senate appointment for his wife may serve as a consolation prirc for him.

Henry Ford is reported to be wil- ling to buy up all the navies of the world, if and when he concludes that would end war. That condition shut-s out any immediate purchase, but l-lenry is looking ahead. l-le would scrap the ships for their iron and steerin them and make it over into motor csrs. It's a fairly large unner- taking‘ even for him, and no doubt useful in an advertising way, as big projects frequently are.

Q. What did Wolfe's victory mean to the world and Canada?

A. Sir Frederick-Williams Taylor: "With Wolfe's‘ victory Canada ‘be- came British for good and all. At that time Great Britain became mis- tress oi tho eastern half of North AIXICHOB. from Hudson's Bay to Mexico._ For 130 years a large part of what is now Canada was under ‘ French rule. They explored and dom- inated half a continent. They extend- ed can tianlty west of the Great Lakes to the Mississippi and attract- ed to their . service ' nearly all thc Indian tribes. They were in a m; ' way to establish a great French state but Wolfe's victory changed~ every- thing."
