A former low tariff advocate asked me recently this question,
“What are your ideas as to adequate tariff protection for Cahadiari ;
industry including agriculture?” Knowing him to be an honest
type of. man,, ,< answered' him as follow^^-My ideas as-to protec
tion for Canada are exactly the same as yours as to protection of
your own home and as £anada is merely a collection of homes it •
Ts hot?unnatural t hat the? same principle should be applied to One
as.tothe other. Jf any member qf your family desired to5 spend
■ beyond your income, you .would put down your foot firmly and “says
• that you will, not allow, it- You- would know that such a policy J
would bring ultimate ruin. .There would be no uncertainty in your
; mind, and there should, be no. uncertainty in, your mind as tosbrings
ing . abbut'ultimate bankruptcy , if this collection of homes called
Canhda? buys--more than it,;.sells.. Therp is not, a eintjlla of differ-
ence between, the two cases^ I. intend here to .explain the process „
■with'Extreme care, so,that no-one reading my’ explanations can,
plead ignorance if and'\'whe» h.e. ca'sts a 'voteAto throw: his country
into the hands of the bailiff; If' we buy ra chocolate, bar ip Buffalo;
? with a 5 cent’-Canadian, piece,-’ we , cause to. be. ?et ^up a 5 cent ?
Canadian ' debit at New York when the 5 cents • is.'/sent back . to ■
■■ Canada, by the American banks and charged up^ When we buy
$1000. ’worth in the United States, Chiria, Australia, Argentine and .
anywhere in the world, we set up a Canadian debit at New York
: for $1000. When we sell anything, services or goods, ,anywhere in
the world outside of Canada, we set up a Canadian credit at New
_ rYork, because New~York-4S: our -clearing- house^for^debits^'and?'
'credits for our purchases and sales the' world over. If we establish
more credits than debits the favorable balance is cleared away by
our .buying foreign securities, or bringing back our Own. If we
_ ; establish more debits than ^credit-s—the-balance is / cleared' away by
selling our securities . abroad, Qr in the-United States. In establish
ing our net balance it must be remembered that we can decide
how much we shall buy; but. we cannot decide how much we shall
sell. It is the. buyer’s decision that settles this,
A favorable or unfavorable balance is brought about by both
visible and invisible imports and exports. In this a country does...
not differ from an individual , home. -Interest, charges, taxes, den
tists’,. doctors’ and lawyers-’ bills are all invisible, but they hurt :
just as much as visible purchases, such as steak, potatoes and
bread. The principle all through is the same as between, a home
and a country and therefore it should not require any great wis- ■
. dom for a man to decide what is good-for his country in this re
spect. If the country buys more than it sells it builds up a foreign
landlord position. It makes us tenants, mortgagors, debtors, to
those who Ijve outside of Canada, and who exact tribute from us.
We hayb, under past governments/bought about $200,000,000
more every year than we sold. To straighten this adverse balance
we have each1 year sold $200,OO^OQO ofx .our assets, siich as bonds,
. mortgages, properties, etc. . This has gone on until those who live
outside of Canada, own” $6,000,000,000 of Canadian 'assets, equal to.
., all.the wealth west jrf Winnipeg, or all east of Montreal; About
oife-fifth of our entire Wealth. ,On this we must pay interest of
$1,000,000 .every day. Our absentee landlord position is over twice
as.much its Germany's per capita position after she signed-the
Treaty of Versailles,, committing herself to pay 182,000,000,000
gold marks within 80 years, without interest, wliich when, brought
jdown to a cash basis equals $17,000,000,000 or $261 per capita.
Canada owes outside Canada $600 per capita. Canada’s position is
40 times worse than Ireland’s when the Irish thundered at the
House of Commons about this dreadful absentee landlord position. '
Imagine, what a benefit to our merchants,-manufacturers and farm-
: _ ®^>„i?_iHie---$.ljflQ.Q>,QIl-Q_per„da.y--W-e»—send—outside-■ could be spent" in ”
Canada, and can anyone see any possible chance of escaping ul-
^Hwi^haidauptey^ jfiwve»-.buy-more than - we sell?^The“Onj[y~possible_'
way to rectify this, Selling out process is by raising , our tariff, so
that our exports of goods and services shall pay for our imports
of goods and services. Anything short of that is fatal to either a
home or a collection of homes. The result of doing* otherwise is
. so obvious that I would feel (1that I was a deliberate traitor if I
voted for a lower tariff than we have. .
The greatest thing that has been done for Canada since Con?
federation is to stop the selling out process. The Bennett govern
ment is the only government that has done this, and to turn that
government out. would be madness. Mr. King says he will smash
the Bennett tariff. That means he will try to smash Canada. He
will return to the tariff that under . his regime * sold put Canada

platform. Since Mr. Nicholson was
the first candidate. in the field in
Bruce and one of the first supporters
of Reconstruction policies to be plac
ed in nomination, he was asked to
run as a Reconstructionist, for if
he remained independent Of it,
though giving it support, other can
didates throughout Canada would
adopt a like stand, so that Hon. H.
ft. Stevens would hot know the
strength of this following*
The candidate denied any split in-
the fafmer-labor group and the rum
or that a fourth candidate, Arthur
Burgess would enter the fight. Only

such a-weight that the cluster droo
ped from the bush, like -a large
bunch of grapes. Wine, pies and pre
serves, form the chief use of these
berries, but We . also , learned that,
they can bo dried; and used later in
the", winter, as one^ would use dried
apples. In drying, the berry shrivels
up to a mete ‘pinhead\ blit by soak
ing, when required for use,'they are
restored much to the original state.
Scales Vs. Bely—“I sent 'my little
boy for two pounds of strawberries,
and you only sent a pound and ri
half.”
“My scales are all right madam.
Have you weighed your little boy?”
^balancer Thoih'—thc^?ycai^“1984 ~was
$523:94'?Tlfe—balance frpffi 1933 was
$527.90 and the Board in their esti
mates have counted .on carrying for
ward a balance at least as large.
During 1934 the Board bought two.
carloads of coal as “Citizen” states
and the fuel bought heated the school' approximately 13 months (the
coal carried over from, 1934 was suf
ficient to heat "the School for 7
weeks). Early in February a car of
coal was ordered, but as each car
of coal, ordered in 1934 lasted an av
erage pf 6^ months the Board hard
ly expect that the ebr delivered to-
an empty coal bin during the third
Week in February will ISst through
December. . (The. caretaker had to
start the boiler on the first day of
School.) Provision was therefore
made fori the purchase of a second
-ar of coal. The Board howeVer feel
sure that only'one car of cOal will
be needed in 1936.
“Citizen” speaks of $400 being
3pont during 193'4 on Science equip
ment which would no.t need to be
ipent .in 1935.,
The amount ’ spent r in Science
aquipment, supplies and stationery
during the first six months of 1934
was $100.28,1 and .during the same
period for 1935.. $98.31. The total
spent for this purpose during 1934
whs less? than $120. ;
■ The Board have made provision
for a possible reduction in the Pro
vincial Grants which we were told
might come, 'but which we hope -Will
fipt~cbme?~There . isalso a decrease
in the assessment which slightly Ye1
duces the amount the feoard will re
ceive from taxes.
The reduction in salaries effective
for the last term-of 1935 will ac?
?ount for approximately one mill o/_
I .drop 'in the taj^rate.
The Board thought it better . to
err On the safe side., and perhaps
carry over a Tittle larger balance and
if possible reduce the tax rate more
nibstantially in 193,6 than make the
•eduction . too. great- this year and
'have td raise the tax again next
year.
The Board, this year as always,
has carefully examined evety expen-
tliiiire rind are, seeking., faithfully to
administer the Tax-payOrja’ money.
