Tire chief val- ue of the German colonies is an agrl-E cultural one: given a new cclonial\ system, given sound principles of- administratlon. Gerrnany's late \ col»| onlal empire will repay investment a hundred fold. Prior to the outbreak of war the' price of animal fats had increased enormously and there was a steadily growing demand for vegetable bur- ters; but prejudice, based largely on ignorance. erected a solid barrier against “margarine” or “nut butter." With every increasing cost of living, prejudice has broken down, and the. consumption of nnlrgarine has be-_ come so general at the family table that even the autocrats ot' the kit-l chen are graciously condescending to consume "nut butter." i Every Germany colony. with the exceptir-:1 of “German South-West," is suited to the production of vege- table butter and its allied food pro-- ducts. which even "Germany South- west" will assist if cotton can be grown, for cotton-seed also--spells but- ter. The four main vegetable butter ageucles in the German colonies are (ai the oil palm, tbl coprs. (c) ground nut, td) cotton-seed; two are the products of the palm trees of peren- nial growth, one rt surface plant and the other frofm_.tlu.\.. earth kernel. The cocoa. bean also produces butter. The as a price which prohibits consump- tion. ‘but ‘permits its use for the per- sonal ado-rnlnent of the fair sex. THE BUTTER PRODUCERS. Alike queen ovcr all. both in beauty and productivity. is 'thc oil palm found almost everywhere in Tago- land and the Caniernons. Lord liar- court recently polutctl out that with- in the last seven years the value of the exports of raw butter prrirlucls from Hritaln‘s \Vost Africa possess- ions had “increased frurn iJ'.!,400.000 to £5,1l00.000," and there is good rcu- son to hope that the next scvcn yours will see the figures rise over A.1l0,|l00,- 000. There is no reason whatever why under suitable conditions. the Cantor- oona and Togolaud should not export is the favorite little “monkey nut". wl\i~h grows as :rn annual crop l\1Sl beneath the sur_face of the soil. Ever." German colony produces the ground nut, -of which Europe requires about 100.000 tons per annum. The Hood of the cotton plant, but little lari§f‘l` *hall the English pea. gives a useful L-’l for butter. and still more attractive ru- gredlcnt for fancy pastry. COCOA AND BUTTER. , The other two main products in German colonies are cocoa and rub- ber. But the German colonies i~ll~ll-Ill ber. But the German colonial policy of retaining plantation production as far as possible in the hands of white ownership was not merely lnimical to the natives, but unsound from -the financial point of view. This policy involved such heavy charges upon the industry that altlrodgir Germany had 20.000,000 rubber trees. _the planters could not complete with British rub- I ber. which now dominates the world's markets. The sarme policy is primar- ily responsible t'or the failure of t.he icocoa industry. Uermany's ,cocon- produclng areas in West Africa. can- not measure less than 100,000 square miles. whilst the Brisisl_1__ areas can hardly exceed 75,000; yet the British cocoa production from the smaller area now exceeds $4,000,000. where- as thc German production barley reaches £200.000. r There is only one way hy which C-emnany’s Colonies can be made a success- by the efllcicnt help of the black producer. White labor in any capacity is expensive; moreover. white luhor either dies or kills itself in the tropics.

But let us see. just for a moment, the change that has taken place -ln' the exchange of com.modlties..between Great -Britain Blld the United States since the out- break of this war. In 1914 the ex- Brltsln were $594,000,000 let us say $600,000,000. merchandise only, and In 1916. last year. those exports had risen to $1,500.000,000-from the Unit~ ed States to the United Kingdom. or an Increase of $900,000,000 in favour of the United -States as compared with Dliefwar exports. At the same time. the exports of Great'BrI~taln to the United -States had Increased only from $293,000,000 to $308,000,000. This means that ex- change has completely broken down between the. United Kingdom and the United States; that the conditions which -prevailed before the war do not prevsll . today: that an entire change has taken place both as to the Channels of trade and the conditions under which trade is carried on. I told my -hon. friends that l would quote-an authority to which he would d%f°l'- At the Guildhall a few days uso, Mr. Lloyd George, Prime Minis- ter of Great Britain, referring to the transportation situation and the food _conditions In Great Britain, made a 11l0St important statement. Speaklrrg about the shortage of ocean transport and its effect ln Great Britain. he said that arrangements were being made Wl\9l'€‘\JY imports wc-uid be cut down by over 10,000,000 tons yearly with- out lnterferrlng with any essential lndustry in Great Britain. Why is the Government of the.United Kingdom devoting Its energies to cutting down imports? Because of the shortage in tonnage brought about by strbma.rine Wnffafe- Sir Edward Carson said yes- terday that the losses from submarin- es were growing. There is no use mln 111111-_ing or blinking -matters; the sub- inarrme menace is a terrible one. Dur- ing the week before last 40 large British and Allied vessels and 15 Smaller ones were sunk. to say -noth- ing of neutral shipping. Thai is the condition with which we are confront- Gd today; the submarine menace to British and neutral shipping; regula- tions as to food enforced in the Unlt- erl Kingdom. Mr. Lloyd George fur- ther said. We are placing under cul- il\'=\ll0Il 3.000.000 fresh acres of land so that in 1918 we shall be able to support ourselves within the confines of the United Kingdom." Will that have any effect upon trade or upon imports of foodstuffs? This war has llwllsht about a limitation of ordin ary imports into Great Britain of ex- ports from Great Britain. Every day of my life I am asked by some inter- est ln Canada ta see if I can get the embargo lifted whereby exports from Great Britain cf commodities in which they are represented are pro- hibited from leaving the ports of the United Kingdom- the reason being, of course, the shortage of slripplng.

This indicates that formerly the wheat had found a rnarket lu the United Kingdom. and that nor-lnally it would find its market there today if the British authorities had the ship- ping lo fetch lt. So far as conditions aficctinrg the sale of Canadian wheat wore former- ly concerned. (hero was a good export demand from rnlllers and others lu the' United Kingdclm for all grades of our wheat.

While there is still ul certain demand locally and by nllllcrs for thc low grades of Canadian whoat ln our Wost. it is n. [act that the ex- port demand for low grade wheat has diminished- this is precisely what you would expect- because of tho food rcgrrlattloml in the United King- dom and the shortage ol' cargo space.

Thai was the position with which the Government was confronted. lf any- body is disposed to challenge that,let hi-in cxsnrinc the figures for March. which show in most illuminating fash- ion what has happened with regard to the channels of trade. lu the mouth of March, i016, 400,000 bushels of wheat only went from Canaria to the United States. and in the same month of this year 2.400.000 bushels of wheat worn into the United States- six ti-mea as much, -an excess of 2,000,000 bushels.
