THE TIDE IS 'TURNING
Referring to a thoughtful ad-
dress recently given in. Goderich
and reported in this paper, The
Seaforth Expositor quotes from a
recent editorial in The Winnipeg
Free Press on the subject of the
so-called "exodus". of trained Can-
adians to the United States. The
Free Press points out that the
flow of brains and ability 'is not
all one way. Statistics of this kind
are not available, but from a sur-
vey "it would appear that in tho
present year (presumably 1952)
the tallow of professional men
from theU.S. will exceed 1,000,
against the average of 496. In
addition there -will be large num-
bers of returning Canadians, many
of whomwill be members of one
or other profession."
Men and women with talents to
sell are naturally attracted to the
markets where these talents will
command the highest prices. Thus
in Canada there is a constant
flow from the towns and town-
ships to the •cities, just as New
York .and other large cities attract
people from all over the United
States. Through the years Canada
has trained thousands of young
which is its only salvation." The
Boston Monitor has the following
comment upon an historical event:
"At 1 o'clock on the morning
of February 10 an engine pulling
twenty-seven small cars of German
coke chuffed across the border into
France with no stop for customs
inspection and without payment
of an. import tax. It was not a
smuggling operation, but the be-
ginning of a new era for trade in
coal, iron, and, soon, steel in six
nations of Western Europe. For
since that hour shipments of coal, the newly formed organization for
coke, iron ore, and iron have been the young men of Goderich, has
crossing freely the mutual bound- a membership of over 50. The
aries of France, Germany, Italy, young men have taken hold of the
the Netherlands, Belgium, and ' idea with the enthusiasm which
Luxembourg under the 'Schuman I betokens success.

Mt HOWE AND THE SUGAR
-BEET INDUSTRY
— . 1
Tie event of the past week in
Parliamentary circles was the re-
turn
of the Hon L 9 Howe froin!
a tour of several weeks in South
America and Cuba, with the object
of developin trade for Canada in
these areas, and io peech with
references to the sugar beet in- I
dustry. Heavy pressure has been
brought 'to' bear upon the Federal
Government to check the import-
' ation of refined -sugar from Cuba,
and it has been represented that I
the growers of sugar beets in West-
- ern Ontario are in. petalof losing,;
their market. Mr Howe said this
pressure, in which several mem-
bers of 'Parliament were con-
cerned, was instigatedby the
• Carrada and Dominion Sugar Com-
pany, which has refineries,,, at
Chatham and Wallaceburg, in.
• Western Ontario, and. also one at
--Montreal. According—to figures
given by Mr. Howe, the company's
net profits, after taxes, rose from
$940,638 in 1945 to $2,238,888 in
1950 and $1,779,337 in 1951, and
- he suggested that the growers were
not being fairly . treated in the
prices paid for beets If the im-
portation of refined sugar were
checked to the extent of increasing I
the price- of sugar in Canada by !
one 'sent' a pound,' it would mear,
he aaid, an extra $5.000,000- col-
lected by the company from Can-
adian consumers Mr.. Howe
argued that when Canada was
making definite efforts to increase
her trade in foreign tnarkgs it,was
no time to increase her own im-
pert tariffs. and thus invite retali-
ation, with the loss oft profitable
