News of the likelihood of a trade V’ emcrit being negotiated between Gouda and the United states, com-

. fngon. top of the economic reforms

f inuinerated in the Speech from the Throne, has had a chastening effect hi the Liberal press. This ls not surprising, since freer trade with {United States was one of the issues they hoped to capitalize in the election campaign. Our con- jemporary says that when the Ub- Orals were in power, Canada had a utariding offer of reciprocity with our southern neighbors, "but the

A latter did not feel disposed to ac-

cept." Now, apparently, they have changed their mind; and it is sig- nificant that this change of mind has come about under the Bennett leglmc in Canada.

Premier Ecnnctt has bc:ii accus- ed by Liberals of "zuitagoliizng" Washington with his Empire trade

', preferences and his policy of pro-

f“ tectlon for Canadian producers. Mr.

Mackenzie King, during his nine

years in power, was open to no such criticism, since he allowed the Can- adian market to be freely exploited United States producers and - manufacturers. His policy, in that c,‘ quarter at least, was one of meek- Lriess llflll humility. Arid the net re- fpault of his policy was the successive C‘ increases in United States tariffs 5' which have been such an obstacle 1 Iver since to our trade with that Country.

While Washingtwi exercised a monopoly of the tariff weapon, it ‘ was of course impossible to con-

] f ‘Imce our neighbors that high tariffs

were injurious to trade-At being our kade and not theirs that was ad- yersely affected. But a change of qrinion has been evident since the ldvent of the Bennett Government the protective policies which Bennett adopted. In 1933 nego- between the Canadian Prime Minister and President Roose- Jelt were opened with a. view tr mutual reduction of tariffs, and the nsult of these negotiations, which have since been steadily pursued, is non in the announcement from Washington this week, of the inten- tim to negotiate a U.S.-Canada Qgroement. Mr. Bennettjfor his part, is quite prepared to do so. provided the interests o! Canadian ucers are properly safeguarded.

£2;- the matter stands for the prcpent. It is a situation highly en- Qguragirig, and also highly credit- ‘pble to the foresight and business I“ judgment of the Bennett ‘Govem-

course, will not like it. It means ‘another chance gone of cutting

Ether producers to whom Pill-Y P01‘

EDITORIAL NOTES

Alas, the Lfberal rank and file asked for bread: their leader gave them a stone-a raw deal!

The total number of licenses is- sued for radio receiving sets in Canada. ls 707,025, and the net revenue from broadcastins. trans- mitting and receiving limrise fees, after deducting commissions to license issrnrs. and to the Poet O!- fioa department for the sole of lic- ences. amounted to $1,294,300.05.

A mate was on the bridge when a simmer ran on the rocks. The Captain interrogated him later, ex- amining him as to his practical knowledge of seamanship. 'I‘o al- most every queition the mate xe- plied, “Yea. I know that. I have it in my notebook, in my cabin." The Captain's rejoinder was similar to that of Mr. Bennett to Mr. King- "to blazes with note books, it is not book knowledge but practical ap- plication that is necessary to run a ship-or ship of state}?

The collapse of the Liberal Op- position on the debate on the Ad- dress at Ottawa is a forecast of what may be expected when the general election takes place. The public of Canada. has no more confidence in Mackendc King's Nineteenth Century philosophic theorizing on politics than has the British public in Lloyd George's. Only the Georgo family airpport him in parliament; Mr. King hav- ing no family, may not even find a seat for himself.

The enormous increase in our iri- oome tax collections announced yea- terday ls a reminder that more commodious premises are necessary for that department. The present staff is erlbbed. cabined and con- fined, and the public have no priv- acy in discussing their affairs with omcialdom. This should not It. and the Government should lose no time in giving the matter their ut- teritlon. Then the Assistant Re- ceiver-General. if he is to discharge adequately his new dutfns as Pro- vincial Manager of the Central Bank of Canada, deserves to have offices worthy of his new dignity and new responsibilities.

The Labor plrly in Englmd, with an election “Just around the cor- ner," has put itself unifnr “refo:m- lst" leadership and has sought, with considerable success, to mppzcss the gentlemen who talk lightly of revolution, dictatorship and so forth. But Sir Stafford Criplli. the mov- 1X1; spirit of the Socialist League, is not to be repressed; it remains true of him that every speech he makes is a lla-blllty to the labor party. According to his latest speech the Labor party has been so fool- lsli as to wish to preserve “forms of democracy"; it has turrci “to- wards the Liberal policy of preserv- ing democracy at all costs and for its own sake, and of clinging to the League of Nations as the one hope of peace." It has been guilty of the uripardonable crime of trying not to frighten the people." There is a very close intellectual relation- ship between Sir Stafford and some of the more ardent younger mem- ltvzra of the C.C.F'. They, t:o, have a great contempt for "the forms of democracy" and for the principles that are behind these forms.

This island of Prince Edward is

situated in lat. 46 deg. and 47 deg. in the Gulph of Bt. Laurence, near the coast or Nova. Scotia,--lt is about 120 miles long, and much inter- sected by arms of the sea. along which is a thinly scattered popula- tion, estimated at about ‘l or 8.000. The lands of this island were granted in the year 1767. 1n several large lots, of which a. great pro- portion fell into the hands of per- sons who have entirely neglected their improvurient, and in conse- quence ot this many very extensive tracts are totally unirihabled. The settlement I had in view was to be fixed in one of them, where, for upwards of 30 miles along the coast, there was not a single habitation. The spot selected for the principal establishment was separated by an arm of the sea. and an interval of several miles, from any older settle- ment. ‘Ilhose that were in the vic- inity were of inoonsiderable amount, and little benefit was derived from any intercourse with them: so that U’!!! Qml-Zrli-Ilts who arrived on this occasion were placed in circum- stances scarcely more favorable than if the island had been corn- pletely desert.

‘These people, amounting to about 900 9680118 0f B11 fixes. reached the Qland in three ships, on the 7th. 9th. and 71th of August i803. It had been my intention to come to the island some titre before any of the settlers, in order that every re- quisite preparation might be made. In this, however, a, number of un- toward cirlumstances concurred to disappoint me; and on my arrival at the capital of the island, I learn- ed that the ship of most import- ance had. Just arrived. and the pas- sengers were landing at a place P75100813’ ‘P90111158! for the pur-

The settlers had spread them- selves along the shore for the dis- tance of about half g mile. upon the site of an old Punch village, which had been destroyed arid abandoned after the capture of the island by the British forces in 1758. The land, which had been formerly been cleared of wood, was overgrown again with thickets of young trcns. interspersed with grassy glades. These open spots though of iriconslderablc extent with a view to cultivation, afford- ed a convenient situation for the encampment: indeed the only con- venient place that could have been found, for all the rest of the coast was covered with thick wood, to the very edge of the water.

I arrlmd at the place late in the evening, and it had then n. very striking appearance. mch family had. kindled a large fire near their wigwam. and round these were as- sembled groups of figures. whose peculiar national dnss added to the singularity of the surrounding srnne.
