Little wonder that German business men, confronted with the spectre of rising market resistance and the possibility of tariff restrictions in the western democ- racies, are eyeing the Soviet offer of Iron Curtain markets with a hungry eye. In fact, there is more than a little evidence to support the view that a good deal of western Germany's trade with Switzerland and Sweden is merely a blind for trans- shipment of goods to the Soviet Union.

Just how serious Russia's propaganda campaign for a restoration of trade with the Iron Curtain countries really is may be understood when it is recalled that just a few days ago the.Lower House of the Bonn Parliament voted for the abolition of Allied trade restrictions on exports from Germany to the Soviet Union. The Mos- cow Economic Conference has already had repercussions far more serious for the west than the abortive Stockholm Peace Declar- ation of two years ago. It has won for the

Soviet Union at least the temporary ac-! quiescence and support of workers and em-

ployers alike in ii large part of western Germany. '

20 Yours in Dispute

The Ottawa Citizen notes that the case

which was argued before the Supreme Court of Canada last week on the market- ing of farm and other natural products represents the first major constitutional is- sue which must be decided by the Cana- dian courts without final recourse to the Privy Council in London. ,

" The case is of course important for oth- or reasons. For 20 years organized pro- ducers in many parts of Canada have been seeking legislation which would enable boards acting on their behalf to control the soletof the entire output of various pro- ducts. The big difference between such marketing schemes and co-operative mar- keting is that the first type is compulsory (upon 1 vote of the growers concerned). the second voluntary.

” The path to the former objective has been pt:-qovn with constitutional obstacles. . The Bennett government enacted the Na-

ire: necessitating purchase of more and more expensive farm machinery-all combine to make the farmer's life difficult. This is the third time we have been fined, twice before for driving in excess of twenty-five miles per hour. each time with a load of perishable lambs. which another statute states must not be treat- ed with cruelfy. As it in rt me- chanlcal impossibility to drive a loaded truck in high gear at in speed within twenty-five miles per hour. we would be forced to go in second gear all the way. Lambs would, trample each other, and die when delayed in transit; thus, we would have. paradoxi- rally. to break one low in order to observe the other.

-We are referring to these past episodes to emphasize a previous contention that these statutes are placed on record by men to whom the needs of the farmers are incomprehensible. or it much worse surmise-to whom they are unimportant. We are forced to conclude that my urize to impose fines on farmers, with this Gov- ernment, is endemic.

We realize that our roads. which were poorly built and Ill supervised In some districts. are in a deplorable condition. In the name of common sense then. why are they broken up by heavy plough; all winter only to be fol- lowed by an order for all vehic-
