It was not intended to assist any concern to earn' big dividends in foreignfields. For if a company is able to meet competition tbou.snde of miles away, it, surely is in a tetter position to meet competi lion at home. The elttent to which one concern has captured foreign business in the face of open competi- tion is shown by the action of the Toronto plant in giving notice to its erten. The National Policy was not creuted to allow any itnplement com- pany to build up such a trade in Rus- sia and Austria that the closing of those markets mean the closing of a Toronto plant. The National Policy wan created to insure the employ- ment of Canadian workingmen to keep them in ('•nada, to build up the cities of Canada. It those working- men and their families become a bur - but the captains of industry display a little patriotism. fortitude and ralm- news. The gratitude of the Dominion will be due the presidents and direc- tors of companies who play their part like men and lend their aid to the limit of their means tokeep unemploy- a..•at at a minimum. Certainly those will nave 00 claim upon the favor of any Canadian government who do not, think today more of the general welfare than of their own pocket books. The Telegram has no knowledge of the circumstances which caused the closing of one of Toronto') greatest factories. It does know that almost w won as the Ant cannon was fired, Use gates of that factory were sudden- ly closed against thousands of work- ingmen. The fate of these men and their families is one of grave concern, not only to the city council here, bat N.1.14:1 to the statesmen who guide the government at Ottawa. Locally, at- tention must be given to the im- mediate pr,bleni created by the abrupt, closing down of a g'gantic intisoeltly and the conseitdonat, 4AF ivation of thousands o.t)oeir livelihood.

Tbe question. however. looms large if. io the very near future. theeid/eel parliament will not have to take some vert drastic measures in connection with the in- dustry in ,luestion. . . The National Policy is on trial. The fiscal policy of Canada has been a moderate protection not for revenue purposes only, but to allow industries to he built up in this country until they were in a position to tweet foreign competition. Despite the clamor of demagogues. the intention was to pro- mote the welfare of the Canadian workingman rather than the Canadian manufacturet, though he. too. must nece•esarily profit from the policy which has been followed by both poli• tient parties -when in office.

A pitiful boldness is the petty war- fare being carried on in Canada against German and Austrian work- ingmen. It is against Any principle of bumanit't to turn fellow -men adrift simply becaose they came from a country whose government is at war with ours, for which they have no sort of responsibility.' Besides being cruel and unfair, it is in the highest degree dangerous to the state. its effe.t is to turn men who would pr,h- ably bre harmless, if not friends, into enemies with A strong pereoual grudge against the country.

Farm and Dairy." Every line has its busy• bodies, who want to knew all the news of the community, private or (Abet wise. Because of them. anything said over the line is apt to heroine public property in short order. We believe the rural 'phone has failed to find its greatest usetulnese hecause of this one factor; hence all will be glad to learn that the end of eavesdropping is not far off. A Nebraska mac, Mr. A. G. Howard, has invented a device whish he believes will be proof against the busybody. The following de- scription of the device is from the Iowa Homestead : . ••The country subscriber ..t:/ •t,oe telephone service will '•,perste bis phone just the same ites now. except that he will turn • Little switch just as soon ss he begins" to talk.

Mr A and Mr. B, who have the use ot the line, will then know just what receiver on the line was taken down. It is not claimed that any device can be made which will lock all the machines on the circuit save the two from which the parties are talking, but it is believed that there will be practically no 'listening on the line' when the listener ie known the minute he or she attempts to eavesdrop.'" This device has been submitted to the great telephone companies for test. If it proves practicable, as.Mr. Howard believes at will. rural sub - (webers should demand that their compbny add this devi e to their 'phones. Ise adoptioc may not please the local gossips, but no one else will lament the demise of that despicable habit of listening at the 'phone. If you have $100 Ther tore r tae %Awe Saab a t..e .aY- r IJ.
