rua" 101w}? COMMISSION Two objectives, both of them pol-

itical. seem 1o have been m the vice w Anglo-Canadian 'l‘rade. The

mind of the Liberal goverrunlent of Nova. Sootia when it launched the Jones Commission. One was to make l. sectional issue of the tariff ques- tion; t-he other was to stuitify. if possible, the efforts of the Bennett Government 1n effecting settlement of Maritime claims under the D1111- can report of 1926.

The alleged reason given by Pre- mier Macdonald for the appoint- ment of the Jones Commission was that the Duncan Commissioners- Litcrals all three-had Iii-lien down on their job and had disregarded their own terms of reference at the say-so of certain Conservatives. This reason our local contemporary had the unwisdom to irldorse. But the reaction from the friends of ‘Hon. Cyrus Macmillan, who right- ly were incensed at this reflection on his integrity as a member of the Duncan Commission, forced a change of tactics on our contem- porary’s part. Subsequently came repudiation of the Liberal allegation from Senator Meighen, Hon. Mir. Rhodes. and Sir Andrew Duncan himself. That ended the contro- versy, so far as thinking people were concerned, and. left the Jones Commission high and dry, without any reason for its existence other than the partisan ones above Qtated.

The Commission, however. pro- ceeded to take evidence about tariff disabilities. And here the Liberal propagandists have encountered snot-her snag. Steel and coal are two of Nova Scotias most important sources of wealth, and both these industries, as has been shown in rho evidence submitted, owe their cor.- tinlled existence to tariffs.

'I‘hls being the case. the Jones Commission may after all serve some good purpose. After hearing_ the evidence of men like Sir New- ton Moore. it should be in a posi- tion to extend a vote of thanks t0 the Bennett Government for hav- ing clone more than any previous administration in Canada's history to build up the coal and steel in- dustries of our sister province by means of tariffs and subventions.

The article on "Music and Cit- fzenship" by Mr. Milton Blackstone. of the Hart House string Quartet. which first appeared in The Guard- ian. has been widely copied by mag- azines and newspapers throughout Canada. Commanding the article. which it reproduces, the Sydney Post-Record says the educational value of music is no more debatable than the study of literature or any other expression of art. and yet it has so far failed to ﬁnd its rightful place on the curriculum of the av- erage public school. The free con- certs to high school pupils which the Hart I-Iousc Quartet has been giving for some years past in the more important Canadian centres where it has performed, is warmly indorsed. Next month, it is noted, the Quartet is giving a performance 1n sydney. as well as a free musi- bale to the high school pupils of that city.

It ls too late this year to arrange for a visitation of the Hart House Quartet to Charlotteown, but it is go be hoped that, next season, when (he programmes of the Community concert Association are being sel- ected, the opportunity will be page“, of securing thc services of

‘Referring to the marketing <11 Canadian products, MI‘.

Chamber offers the fullest possible co-operation to all interests on both sides of the Atlantic. The Ottawa Agreements have definitely proved advantageous to Anglo-Canadian trade. It is true that all previous barriers were not swept away, but it is equally true that the 1932 Con- ference laid a new foundation for Empire co-operation. Supporting this ideal, the Chamber has con- sistently advocated the need for practical industrial w-operation be- tween the United Kingdom and the rest of the Empire. 1t is one of the factors making for greatly ex- tended intra-Imperial trade.

Captain John Ball, 0f London, is a. cynic, and managing director of the Soley Armament 00., Ltd., which has an agent, named Mr. A. J. Miranda, Jr_., in New York. In March of this year, when there was talk of war between Japan and China. with the prospect of U.s.A. supporting China, Ball wrote Mir- anda: “We fully understand that arms deals are nor. usually done without some officials gatting ‘greased,’ but if any palm oil is rc- quired. it has to be added to the price, and as our prices are at least 50 per cent. les than factory prices for the same arms, they will stand a lot of ‘grease’, and still be cheaper than the manufacturers‘ prices."

There exists in Canada one tre- mendous obstacie to any scheme of national planning and federal reg- ulation of industry in the provisions of the Federal constitution. It is embalmed in the British North Am- erica Act, a statute of the British Parliament, which was passed in 1867 as the basis of the Confeder- ation, and, although Canada, as the result of decisions of the Imperial Conference of 1926, now formally registered in the Statute of West- minster, is completely emancipated from the "leading strings of Downing Street in all matters f0 policy and has most. of the privileges of an in- dependent state, she can still only change her constitution with the consent 0f the British Parliament. Now this constitution is in many of its features obsolete and archaic; it was devised at a time when Can- ada was in the main an agricultural community of pioneer settlers, and such devclopmneis as hydro-electric energy, aviation and broadcasting were still in the womb of the fut- ure; the result is that, in the ab- sence of any deﬁnile provisions about such matters there has been a constant conflict about the re- spective zones of Provincial and Fed eral jurisdiction-John Stevenson in The Fortnightly (London)

necessary to glance back to the end

,of the Great War, when the British lAdmiralty declared that the sub- ‘marine had been-“mastered.” It proposed, in the interests of hu- manity and economy, that the con- struction of such vessels should be banned by international agreement. The suggestion was rejected at Washington almost with contempt. It was declared by the other dele- gates, in so many words. that the Germans had proved that, of all iships of war, submarines were so leﬂective that no battleship could remain afloat for any IEHBUI 0! itime in the next. war; they were .the chief weapon of the Weaker Powers. Moreover, it was asked. "What is the good of having such slow moving ships, with vulnerable hulls, since the bombing aeroplane could sink them out of hand ? " S0. although under the Washington Treaty of 1921, France and Italy had liberty to build such battle- ships as would enable them to maintain their ratio of 1.75, not a single keel was laid in either coun- try. Attention was concentrated 011 destroyers and. submarines. 11955815 relying on the torpedo ratlrer than the gun. France now has 73 de- stroyers, and 94 submarines, with 8 destroyers and l5 submarines bulld- ing; Italy has 94 destroyers and 43 submarines, and has 4 destroyers and 22 submarines building. (Fleets of the British Commnwealth of Nations and Foreign Countries, 1934.) In combination, these two Mediterranean Powers could P111118 in commission at any time next year 353—say 300-01 these mo- squito craft, while the number owned by the other Mediterranean Power, ourselves, will be 222 or, lu round numbers 200, for service in all parts of the world.

Then a dramatic change 0c- curred. When Germany surrendered to the Allies her submarines as well as all he;- surface craft, except six small and out-of-date battleships and a few cruisers and destroyers, it was agreed that she might re- place the battleships when they were wornlout with modern ves- sels. The only stipulation was that they should not exceed 10,000 tons each. It was assumed by ‘the tor- pedo fanatics" that Germany would not take advantage of this liberty, and for two reasons. In the ﬁrst place, the intrepid German crews, it was said, had proved that the sub- marine was supreme, and, in the second place, Germany was in such economic distres that she could not in any event, afford the luxury of new battleships. It came, therefore, as a shock to the French and Ital- ian Admiraities when the 39111111115 laid the keel of the ﬁrst of four "pocket. battleships” of 26 knots. I111‘ more costly, ton for ton, than any men-of-war ever built by the rich- cst and most ambitious naval Power. The Germans by this action under- mined the whole technical basis on which the post-War policy of con- strllction had rested in France and Italy. The whole situation had to be examined afresh.

In due course the naval author- ities ill Paris came to the conclusion that the French Navy must also have new battleships. Nor was that all. Since the German ships were of 10,000 tons, the French battle- ships must be larger, more heavily armed and armoured, alld of much higher" speed. So thc ‘Dunkerque’ was duly laid down, a vessel of 26,- 500 tons, with a speed of 30 knots. What was Italy to do? As a matter of prcstigc, apart from all technical cnnsizirrations, she also had to have modcrll battleships, otherwise Franco would iltlvc an advantage cvcr llcr in thc Mcditcrranﬂan. France having rcpFcd to Germany,

must g0 one bcitcr than its neigh- bour.

In this way the "battleship holi- day" hns alrcndy come to an end, though the Naval Conference is still a long way ahead. Six modern bat- tleships are built or building in Germany, France and Italy, and the problem of the design of other vessels of this type is occupying the minds of the other Admiraities of the world. The plea of the British naval dclrgates at the London Naval Conference, reaffirmed at Geneva, in favour of smaller and cheaper battleships-vessels of not more than 25.000 tons-has been ignored. It is as though it had never been

really‘ made. Nor is there any indication

that the built of the people of France and Italy object, any more than do those of Germany, to pay- ing thc price to be exacted of them. They arc satisﬁed with the assur- ance that nothing is being done which contravenes the provisions of the Washington and. London Treat- ies. For the rest, Frenchmen at any rate are gratiﬁed by the boast of their Minister of Marine, that with one capital ship building and another authorized, the French delegates at. the coming Conference will have "all the trumps 1n their 'hands." Presumably the Italian delegates, in the knowledge that their country 15 pledged to lay down even larger bamleshijis, will b0 nup-

highest commendation. Yet it will be, and, is a fair subject for the closest scrutiny. N0 explanation that I have seen shows clearly and conclusively how the feat was donc. The assoclatill must be able $0 get its fertilize: cheaper than other ibuyers or if not it. must sell to the fanners at much lower profit or no profit at all or the quality of the fertilizer is inferior and therefore cheaper. To get it cheaper at the source of supply than other import.- ers they would have to buy 0n an rimmense scale-mass buying. Do jthey make such huge pllrchascs that they get big discounts? Are 'they far bigger buyers for instance than the farmers of Ontario? If not I don't sec how they can get the product cheaper. Certainly not |because they bear the euphonious name of Potaio Growers Asoci- iation. T0 an exporter a rose by any other name would sulcil as sweet. I oonolude therefore they cannot buy cheaper than their competitors. If they cannot buy cheaper than others the only way the farmers can be favored is by the elimination of profit on the part of the Association and this cut in profit must be considerable. But I take it that it is quite in ac- cordance with the first principles of the association that no profit should be made at thc eaqlerlse o! the members themselves. ‘They never organized for thc DUTPOSP of paying profits to themselves out of their own pockets. If therefore the management soils to the member's without a. profit said management- is entitled to no credit whatever because no other course would be tolerated. But there is this phase to be considered. Dc other dealers supply the farmers at as cheap a rate? And if they do, do they make a profit? Or are they selling fertil- izer as a fonn of amusement or so fond of the farmers that they ex- pect no profit? Both of these aircr- natlves may be summarily dismiss- ed and We may take it that they sell for the same price as the As- sociation and at the same time they make a profit, and this vicw puts the association in a posiiion of no great altitude. If my assumption is correct and I don't say it is thc Association is entitled to no medals whatever and should receive none. As to the Ontario dealer. his goo- graphical position is against. him. because most fertilizer being son. b01116. 8-1131 Place far from thc sca- board labors under a distinct dis- advantage. freight charges by waicr being very much cheaper than by land. On the other imnd. if the dealers in Ontario exploit the far- mers by huge profits their Senator 111181165’ request for a. Royal Corn- mission is amply justified.

This is the first time (and. I

In thcsc circumstances littlr, us; far as battleships are cnllccrncd is to be expected from thc forthcom- ing Naval Confcrcllcc, Tllc contro- vcrsy as to displnccnlcnt has barn closed.

And though the British and Alncricnu Governments will no doubt rlgrcc on preserving the conditions of parity established by the Wrlsiling- ton Treaty, Japan has lct it hc known that she is dissatisfied wiih her present ratio; France and Italy, now that thcy have cntcrcd nu a battleship racc, will stand out for a much higher ratio than they wcrc given in 1921. So far as bnttlcships are oonccmed, the principal Naval Powers are entering on a rcnclvcd competition in vessels of this Iypc. each of which will cost from 20.000.- 000 to £7,000,000; the pridc of the British Navy in the early ycnrs of this century, the ‘King Edward VII,‘ was built for less illrln £1,500,- 000. The struggle may be regulated to some extent. but it cannot bc stopped. The plcns in favour of smaller and cheaper vcsscls, such a! Admiral Sir I-lcrbcrt Richmond and other naval officers have recom- mended, have bccli rcjectcd.
