GOVERNMENTS AND TARIFFS.
Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King
wants 'wider markets as does every
one else, but when the United States
market was being narrowed. by Unit-
ed States tariffs he was afraid to do
anitthing lest it should be thought
provocative.. If the United States is
now seeking wider markets in Can-
slda it is because Mr. Bennett was
not afraid to act. Mr. King cannot
be blamed for the loss of markets,
but he is blamable for not making
up for that loss by conserving our
own. HesSaw foreign markets clos-
ed to Canada by hostile tariffs. Yet
he allowed those who framed those
tariffs to have access to our mark-
ets on the same old terms. He held
to his preference for wider markets
while all other countries were rais-
ing barriers. He failed to realize it
was a condition, not a theory, that
confronted him,
Fearful lest Mr. Bennett should
succeed in making a favorable ar-
rangement for reciprocal trading,
Mr. William Duff, M.P., during the
last session and again this session,
Introduced a resolution calling for
negotiations looking to that end. The
resolution was withdrawn after de-
bate, on• the Finance Minister's rep-
resentation that it was not helpful
while negotiations are in progress.
Better than any parliamentary reso-
lution as a prelude to such agreement
was the action of the Bennett Gov-
ernment in raising the Canadian ta-
riff to meet, to some extent at least,
the various advances in the United
States tariff made while the King
Ministry held power.—Toronto Mail
