TORONTO BYPASSED
It is impossible to assess with accuracy •
theo aftermath of the visit to Canada of the
Russian representatives who encountered some
)hostility at,..certain points, all large cities, 'in
their itinerary, but on the whole were received
in a friendly spirit. In a farewell message
the head .of the delegation expressed . appreci-
ation of the "friendship and business -like co-
operation" shown by many Canadians, but
indicated resentment of incidents 'create -d by
small groups ":directed against the interests
of peace and against the improvement of cul-
tural and economic ties between our countries."
Further, the statement proceeded, the
party were going to continue their tour 'and
visit the Canadian National Exhibition in Tor-
onto, but the position taken by the local
authorities in tb.at city "contradicted their
understanding of hospitality" and therefore
THE BRIT1S
'there comes to our desk the report of an
address by James S. Duncan,, president of Mas-
sey -Harris -Ferguson. Limited, and 'as it deals
with a matter which has already received at-
tention in these columns it seems to he ii;
order to quote briefly from one who can speak
with authority ou the 'su'bject.
Mr. Dunea'n points - out : that, as is well
known to observant Canadians, British pur-
chases froth. Canada are lintel greater. than,
Canada's imports from Britain: This tenden- ,
ey has been increasing. In the first half of.
this year Canadian' exports to the United King-
dom were $386 millions, ,while during the same
half-year Canada's purchases from Britain
were more than' $200 millions less. There is,
said Mr. Duncan, a growing anxiety in'Britain
aver this lopsided condition of 'trade, and it
• has , been .suggested recently in the British
House of Commons and in '.some parts of the
British press that measures be taken to divert
Britain's purchases in some other direction.
they had decided u nt ninuously':,, to refuse to
visit Toronto and go' directly to Ottawa in-
stead.
One result of this change of plans was
that a visit to the , Massey -Harris plant was
missed, and as the ,visitors had in mind the
purehase of heavy farm implements orders
for such purchases, as well as of seed grain
and other goods, ,became "'a matter for the
future.''
The • Globe and Mail could not refrain.
from giving a partisan touch to the incident,
declaring that the tour had been "botched"
by ,.Ottawa, but the Toronto workmen and
business Men who may have lost considerable
business for the present and future years will
know where to place the responsibility.
From Ottawa the party left for New York
and it will be interesting to observe what sort
of reception' is given them there.
H MARKEF
Therefore, if Canada wishes to retain the Bri-
tish market for her exports, "Canadians should
take all reasonable measures to channel a
greater proportion of her import buying to-
ward the United Kingdom.
If there are ditlileul-ties in the way of alter-
' tug the present trend, Mr. Duncan urges "they
sh.oulri be a challenge to, us to persevere in, our
efforts to find praetical opportunities to buy
inore from Britain, not an excuse to abandon
the effort. If our purchases from Britain are
too low, it is partly because we in Canada a"e
not doing enough about it.
"The solution. is to be found in- greater
effort on the part of every one of us. It is not
a matter for government action. Fundamen-
tally, we are a free people, living in a free
enterprise economy, making our own decisions
as to what goods we buy. , If each of us made
it a primary concern to buy more of our im-
ports from Britain, we would. find the oppor-
tunities." •

That old problem, Is the tomato a fruit or
a vegetable ? has again turned up. When put
up to the Saltford Sage he settled „it neatly.
1-,f The tomato," he declared, "is a vegetable
when eaten at dinner and a fruit when it is
served at supper." Now let's hear no more
about it.
Goderich boys will have to look to their
}laurels. The girls' trumpet band last week,

for the second time, carried off the honors in
competition at the Toronto exhibition, and
the Dodgers have won the Western Ontario
.softball championship for the -fourth year and
are well on the way to a Provincial eham-
ionship. ' We fancy the trouble with the young
males is that they won't settle down to persis-
tent effort and arduous praetice as their sisters
do. x x x The boys of course may retort that
they put it all over the girls in hockey.
