Patriotism in Business.
Mr. John A. Cooper, Toronto, editor
of 'The Canadian Courier',anddirector
of 'The Canadian Farm' said:
"Nothing more remarkable has oc-
curred in Canada for some time than
this appeal of the Iron. Martin Burrell
minister of agriculture for the
Dominion. Ole labels it "Patriotism
and Production" and I understand
that some of the farmers of Ontario
have resented this appeal to their
patriotism and have practically told
the minister of agriculture to mind
hie own bUSinese, Now if that is true
and it bas been so reported in the
newspapers,then I think that the men
who did 1t, who have talked or spoken
in this vein, are nor, possessed of a
very high d' -gree of what is commonly
known as eourtsey oe politeness. I
am quite confident that Ilr. Burrell
has acted in the best interests of Can-
ada and the Empire as he sees those
interests. While f. 1113) not a farmer
it strikes me that the appeal is a
reasonable one. 10 the fanners were
asked to egutribnte to the Fund for
