Another letter from a Clinton sol- dier written in answer to a box sent by the Young Ladies' Aux- iliary The Price of Potatoes 1 Mrs. Adam Schaeffer was called to •Port Albert last week owing to the When the Minister of Agriculture • illness of her mother, Mrs. James for Canada made investigations Quaid. which showed that we had a surplus ' &Ir. Albert Colliug was marriarch t ed in of two million bushels in Canada, ► Pasedina, California, on M0h a newspaper friendly -to the .Govern- to Miss Ethel L. Hall,• -daughter of ment said. that the high prices were due to "apathy 'at Ottawa." What would this newspaper critic have the Government do 7 ile does not suggest any action. He merely complains, and places .the "blame up- on'hpathy at Ottawa. Other critics have called for an embargo on po- tatoes shipped to the United Stat- es. The answer to, that is that the embargo is a thing' that two can play with. We might place an em- bargo,on potatoes going -to the United States in the same way that the United States may place an em- bargo oa coal coining into Canada. One might very easily be the re- sult of the other in which event the central provinces of ,, Canada would have double cause to comllain be- cause the potatoes surplus and the coal deposits are at the eastern and western ends of Canada. . A more reasonable critic would place the dif- ficulty in lack of transportation fa- cilities which would carry the pro- ducts of the west and east more freely to the centre. But that can- not be due to apathy at Ottawa lie - cause the same difficulty? exists ev- erywhere, particularly in the United States. The writer of an article in the issue of March 10th. of tho the Saturday, Evening Post •on "Cabi:a, es as a Luxury," says :— "Goods shipped from the west months ago . are standing on side-, walks at way stations while train- loads of munitions are whizzing past, day after Clay." On March 0th the New York her- ald commences an editorial on the food situation with this sentence 'Morel never has been a famine of foodstuffs in this country but al- ways there has been a lack of ade- quate distributing ageheies that fre- quently has resulted is what ap- proaelted famine prices."
