EISENHOWER WINS • FOR FREER TRADE l'resid<'1Lt Eisenhower has won a victory over the tariff protectionists in Congress in ;he passing of a bill extending for a three-year period his power to cut tariffs 5 per Bent. a par in' exchange for concessions from other sountrle•i. This measure preserves the principle of reciprocal trade which Mr. Eisenhower has .onstently favored. Advocates of the bill wero forced to make some concessions to pro- I;ectionist pressure, but the authority vested in the President may he taken to mean that his oilluenoe will be exerted towards greater free- dom of international trade. Canada leas a lively interest in the Presi- dent's success in this instance, partial though that success may be. The United States mar- ket of 160,000,000 people is of great impor- tance to this country an'd"A'ith the President's goodwill may be of much more importance than it has oeeii. This is no time 'for the re- vival of protectionist sentiment in Canada. If Ave get a fair deal from Washington we should respond to it, to the advantage of both countries. If we are refused a fair deal ,it will then be time enough to consider what measures Ottawa should take in the interests of Canada. REMARKABLE FORECASTS The '.lneanily success of a Goderich Old Boy In foretelling political events evidently, has bet''oine somewhat 17f a tradition at Ottawa. to the course of a debate on health insurance in the house. of Commons on',Nifty aril, Mr. Knowles, C.C.F. member -for Winnipeg North, said, as reported in Mansard : During the summer of 1953, when we were in the.. midst of an election campaign, there was an article on this question written by none other than Mr, J. A. Hume, Citizen parliamentary writer. We ill know the accurate prophet Mr. Hume has become. He was able to foretell with uncanny accuracy the outcome of the Federal election in 1953. He seem- ed to know - pretty well last December or January what would be in the speech from the Throne opening this session of Parliament. He had some_ pretty good ideas as to what might be expected 'in the, h+idget which' was announced on April 5, and just a short while ago he predicted accurately the date of the Ontario election which has naw been set for the 9th of June. Dir. Knowles might have mentioned also Mr. Hume's forecast of the 1949 election, giv- �' lit the Liberals a majority larger than high officials of the party even hoped for, and that in an election in which the results were more d'o'ubtful than in the 1953 contest --doubtful,. that is. to almost anyone but Mr. Hume,•whose Down Mernoty's Lane sfi7rta�'.�6+" t�'�rJr*'t�a«�"G�`n'nl`N•iij� �'Id':,,hula •Goderich.; Agricultural Society.
