) WHERE LEADERSHIP IS
NEEDED.
'araners of Canada who rely main-
ly upon' grain crops for their liveli-
hood are faced with a situation mote
serious than any which has c,ogfront-
ed them for a generation. In, fact
few of these now farming can look
back and recall so difficult a period.
Not sitice the orderly marketing of
grain commented' 21 years ago . have
prices been 'so lowand- when they
were nearly- as. low the purchasing
power of a dollar was relatively high-
er than to -day. , -
It is true that prices of many things
the farmer must buy have dropped
from the peak of 1929 but proportion-
ately they have not 'dropped as has
the price, of wheat. The farmer is hit
both ways until one lama. as well
admit that' his position is decidedly
bad.
It is so bad' thateit presents the maj-
or etonomic problem ,oI the d•ay.gre,a,t
ereven than that of stimulating :man-
ufacturing. The latter .if ,accomplisb-
ed, would in time provide a partial
soletien of the ,farmer's. dilemma by
creating a' larger home market, but
manufacturing eannot expand greatly
while the 'main arm of' our purchasing
power --farm production -is •paralyzed
There -will be widespread satiafact-
ion in the news that Premier Bennett

seas to hasten. haine to .deal with the

genuity of' the' best 'naiads but • it is
nationally essential that it be met and

fortunate to have his leadership in

The perennial story of Premier
Feoguson leaving Ontario to accept
the post of Canadian High Commis-
sioner at London is revived, With
this time is the rumor that the hon-
orarium attaching to the nefite is to
be materially increased. The plea is
put forward on the ground that the
present salary puts the position be-
yond reach of any one who is not
quite wealthy.
• It is popularly accepted that Lord
Strathcona, Hon, P. C, Larkin and
other incumbents' of the office spent
an average of elase to'a100,000 a year
from their. private fortunes to uphold
the social prestige of the • Comenis-
sionerehip.
Mr. Ferguson, it is said, is by no
mean's wealthy. He announced s'ome
years ago his coining retirement from
Politics,' 11 is'Overdue and if _Mr.
Ferguson really wants to go to Lon-
don" it is more than likely ise will get
the job. Lt is npt 'likely, however,
that any material • increase in salary
Will be made. Times are too hard
