This from the current issue of “Canadian.

Business,” published by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce:

“Distorted. by election speeches, Canada’s foreign trade figures should now be viewed dis- passionately.

“For the past six months our exports have

showed an average gain of about 8 per cent while our imports have risen about 6% per cent. This i: significant in tic-w of the absolute stage nation of total world trade." I So significant, indeed, that it completely answers the partisan misstatements which were chiefly responsible for electing the present Ottawa administration to power. Considering the result of that campaign one is led sadly to reflect on the truth expressed by the poet:

"lV/lctt all it: work is done, the lie shall rot. The truth i: great, and shall prevail;- When none care: tvhether it prevail or not.”

Buy A Poppy i

Today and tomorrow have been set apart for the sale in Charlottetown of Poppjesfor Remembrance Day, which falls on Monday next. The sale, as in other years, is under the auspices of the Canadian Legion, the flowers being the production of disabled ex-soldiers who are trying to support themselves in the Vetcraft Shops which are administered by the Canadian Government. It may seem a little thing to buy» a poppy, but if every Canadian does so it will be a great manifestation of Canadian sentiment.

Between 1914 and 1918, 600,000 Canadians offered themselves for the service of their country. Over'6o,ooo of these the poppies-blow. In 1935 there are still 170,000 men who bear upon their bodies the marks of sacrifice. It is in recognition of them and in tribute to their

suffering that Poppy Day has been set asidewto __

afford all Canadians an opportunity to express their participation in a national fellowship of remembrance.

Memorial Scholarships

The system of post-graduate scholarships and of bursaries set up by the Imperial ..Order Daughters of the Empire has become, through the years, ‘one of the most outstanding of the memorials of the Great War. According to the report' of the national secretary of the Order, $475,788.15 has been contributed towards it, and from this fund bursaries in Canadian uni- versities were provided for 174 young Canadians whose fathers were killed or disabled in the War. Further scholarships have been provided for‘85 graduates in Canadian universities to take up post-graduate study in a British university of their own ChOOSing, ' _

The year 1937 will see the last of the bursaries but the benefit of this provision to its recipients and the benefit of the scholarships continues through the years. In this history Prince Edward Island has a right to take pride since her bursary and scholarship candidates have taken high place among the provinces.

Speculation On Tariffs

The food industry is now speculating on what the new Ottawa Government will do with tariffs, says Canadian Grocer in its current issue. In his pre-election campaign talks, MACKENZIE KING repeatedly affirmed his intention if elected to revise maity duties. He did not particularize so that it is impossible to state what food pro- ducts, if any will be aflected. Take sugar, for instance. There, is a tariff of $1.89 per cwt. on refined sugar. If this were reduced, there would naturally have to be a corresponding reduction in raws which would affect farmers who grow sug- ar beets. There is a duty of four cents under the general tariff, against California raisins which used to command the Canadian market. Austral- ian raisins come in free. Canada does not pro- duce raisins. But then we sell Australia much more than she buys from us, making the problem of tariff reduction difiicult, The four cents per

‘lb. duty on British-growntea is naturally for

revenue purposes as is the three cents per lb. tariff on foreign green coffee. Not long ago the BENNETT administration on the advice of the Tariff Board removed .the 2o per cent. or more tariff against biscuits produced in the Old Country costing 2o cents or more over there. There are also substantial duties against canned fruits coming ln under the general tariff. s0 many years back we imported considerable quan- tities of peaches, pears, apricots, etc., and=tbe bulk of our canned pineapple consumption is _still represented-by imports.‘ But in view of the fact

that the Canadian fruit season isrmmnclr

shorter than it- is in the United States, with higher canning costs, a problem is presented to any government figuring on lower tariffs.

There are probably few people who have not at some tune or an- other begun to keep a diary-it is a phase through which almost everybody goes, like keeping rab- bits or reading Swlnbume-but there must be equally few whose dlarles have survived the first flush of enthusiasm; who have not been discouraged by a dearth of events or overwhelmed by a plethora. The born dlarlst is an enthusiast for whom the wrltlng of his daily rec- ord ls a sacred task not to be for- gone from stress of affairs or wear- tness: the last engagement of the day, it. ls the one which he never breaks. In some such spirit of last- ing enthusiasm, fortified by the habit of a lifetime, must Lard l-lalg have written his war diaries. which run to no less than 800,000 words. Even for a. prolific novelist this would be a large output; as the work of a busy soldlerhs odd moments 1t is simply amazing.- Trut-h, London. \
