The only policy of the present Liberal party ap- pears to be to persuade Canada that. the Union Gov- ’ernment is extremely unpopular and liable to go to pieces at any time and precipitate an election. This has been the stock in trade of Liberal news- papers and Liberal orators for some months, in fact ' since Mr. Mackenzie Kingx began his pilgrimage through the country as leader of the Liberal party Is Canada ready to accept the word of a few office seekers on one of the most important questions the country was ever confronted with? Are the elec- tors prepared to ‘hand over the reins of government to_a party that has no other policy than abuse and misrepresentation of its opponents? ' . , We, are gravely told the war is over and the Union Government has completed its work. Has it‘! Financiers and statesmen are unanimous in the opin- ion that the problemsvto be solved in the immediate future are little, if any, less important than those connected with the war itself. The future of Can- ada depends upon the foundations to be laid during the next year or two. We are at present learning as never before the wisdom of that policy so much an- athematized by Liberals in recent years and even in recent months, the National Policy. We know now, with our Canadian dollar valued at less than ninety cents, while paying 110 or 112 cents for an Ameri- can dollar, ulhat would have happened had our few . industries been swamped by American importations. ;~‘I We know also what would happen if those Liberal office seekers were given an opportunity to attack the tariff with an axe as some of them are advocating. Canada today needs all the industries she can ‘t handle; she. needs these industries upheld against ‘ foreign competition; she needs a sane tariff policy

The Bank Follows, a Liberal Policy in Exteni that will foster Canadian industries, encourage home ing Credits to Farmers

buying and build up home markets. This will not be accomplished by class appeals or by promises to adjust the tariff to the varying needs of different sections of the country.

Liberal Unionists and Conservative Unionists stood side by side while Canada was fighting for its ‘very existence. They are standing together today ifacing the no less strenuous problems of peace. The oft repeated statements that they are at logger heads and ready to fall apart are the cooked charges of oﬂice seekers and opportun-ists. The Liberal party of today has nothing to offer to Canada that can be of any benefit to Canada- The united forces of tr m Liberalism and true Conservatism can do as much for Canada today us they did in the days of the war.

Wc are pleased to note that the Patriot has fal- len into line with those who see the necessity and the desirability of maintaining tfhe Rena McLean Mem- orial Hospital. When the closing of this institution was mooted some time ago The Guardian urged its continuance but, apart from this and some corres- pondence with the authorities at Ottawa, little in- terest was taken in the matter. It now appears that the fiat has gone forth to close the hospital at the end of March. This will mean the sending of our sick and ‘wounded soldiers to other hospitals; it will mean that those ‘of our sick and wounded soldiers who arc now undergoing treatment in other hospitals will be indefinitely kept elsewhere. It is true the number of convalescent soldiers now here is small but it is also true that there are many more of our soldiers in other hospitals and who should be in our own Where they would be near ‘their homes and their re- latives and where they would receive as good medi- cal care and as capable nursing as they would any- where else. A strong move should be made at once to bring pressure to bear upon the authorities to re- consider their decision

IFY Y CANADIAN GOODS.

. “Buy (Tanadian goods” is now the slogan not only in (‘amlda but in Great Britain. The adverse balance of trade and the fall in the value of the Can- adian ‘dollai- and the British pound is the reason be- hind the slogan. It is recognized that the only rem- edy for the restoration of the Canadian dollar to its original value is to stop buying American goods- This is in no way antagonistic to United States interests; it is recognized both in the United States and Canada as the only remedy for a condition that is mutually injurious. The United States does not want to lose Canadian trade; Canada does not want to lose Unit- ed States’ trade butour purchases in the United Stat- es hlave gone beyond the limits of healthy trade and the time has come to call a halt.

It is unfortunate that in many lines we are yet dependent upon the United States. This is especially true of automobiles and automobile parts and the importation of these was one of the biggest factors in upsetting our trade balance. If, as some of our aspiring politicians declare they will do when they get into power, farm implements are to be added to our automobile importations the adverse balance of trade will be very much more serious than it is at present and our dollar will look like the proverbial thirty cents. y

Our merchants are now awake to the necessity of buying exclusively in Canada or Great Britain and

Game Protection

Sir,-—.-\s most all provinces are differently situated in this domin- ion ol‘ ours, it is pleasing to all right-thinking sportsmen to ilnd that all provinces have their local provincial laws in force, for the protection of such game as belongs to each province, allowing of only enough hunting lo insure their safely from taxtcrmimttitm. Nova Scoliu, New Brunswick and Quebec- all [ll'0l(‘(!l their bit’. Home, such us noose, caribou, deer und such as partridge and other nniuli birds which n-inaiii the your around.

Now, I understand our province is to be confronted with a luw in the form of u treaty (not of our own making) prohibiting the shoot- ing of geese and brunt in the spring. No time reserved for any shooting. Those geese and brunt which remain only u short time on their lliRlll to the far north, is about. all that is shot about this island in the spring, and it very small number is shot, compared to whut is shot on their winter grounds. All other birds are well protected by our local game laws. and in the best interests of the in- hubltnnls and our isolated position. nnd for the preservation of birds. It is well understood this ﬂight of

geese which arrives early in iilnrch are the older birds on their way to their hatching grounds and remain but a short time. Those gecselliat remain away into April are the non laylni: young birds, which must at- tain the age of four ‘years before hatching. 'I‘hei'e is liltle difference in shooting those in winter and April. Many think, according to our ice conditions. when “'0 M‘? surrounded with icefthal geese should not be shot only in ADP"; brunt from 5th ol‘ May to 5th of June, ‘AS they usually become very thin on arrival and most all geese leave by the end oi‘ April.
