EDGE 1 t DOES PROTECTION "PROTECT" Varna, October 25, 1920. The national policy as originally conceived was mainly for the ptfrpose of protecting our infant industries from unreasonable competition emen- ating from foreign countries and con- sisted of levying a tax on goods im- ported into,' Canada from abroad. This policy was aimed more particu- larly at the U. S. A., whose business then were very aggressive and who on account of their proximity to our borders, were able to place their goods in this country on a' very favorable basis and competed successfully with , our manufacturers in all lines of en- deavor. Now this, theory of protec- tion as prepounded by Sir John A. McDonald seemed a good thing to a country just getting" h to its first "long` pants," and there is no doubt that the Premier in introducing it believed it would work out to the benefit of the countryat large e and the manufacturers in particular. Af- ter forty years of practice the benefit to the country in general is question- able and to the manufacturers in par- ticular a "howling success." , When we ask the question .Does Protection "Protect"? we mean does it shelter our manufacturers' - from i American competition and keep the home market for our own business men? In answer to this question we need' but refer to a full page ad. which was placed in the daily papers. some time ago. It rangy something like this: Canadians Patronize Can- adian made goods and keep Canadian workmen busy. Signed C. M. Ass. Now, is not that ad. a pitiable admis- sion that protection does not protect, for if it did so there had been no, need to ask the buying public to patronize Canadian -made goods. Then why this urgent appeal to sup- port home industry? It was because Canadian and American goods were being sold over the same counters at the same price for similar quality of goods and were thus in direct com- petition. . Two theories can be !advanced to account for - this condition: 1st Can- adian Manufacturing Companies are Back Numbers; 2nd, Canadian Manu- facturing Companies are taking ad- vantage of the tariff to enrich them- selves hem selves at. the expense -of the con- sumer. When American 'goods start on a race with Canadian ones, the Ameri- cans are handicapped. A tariff load of 25 to 35 per cent. is :hung on their necks and extra' freight charges tangle up their feet, yet they arrive in our towns and successfully com- pete with our own merchandise. Canadians are as intelligent, re- sourceful, energetic . and inventive as anyne and they are not afraid of Amer, can •competition, either in Can- ada or in any part of the world. Then what is the trouble? It is simply this: The extra money that the Can- adians can tack on to their goods, the equivalent of the dutyand freight, appeals to them. This getting some- thing for nothing touches their hearts and - they withhold not their hands. That is why we have to' pay as much for Canadian as we 'have for American goods. The man who buys American goods pays toll to - the Canadian Government. He who buys 1 "Canadian -made goods" pays' toll to some member of the Canadian manu- facturing companies and through the avarice of' these men protection as "Protection"' has , lamentably failed ar d the workers pay the shot. F. W. It is our intention to run articles on the Tariff Question by the above writer once or twice a month during the winter, and we invite a full and free _discussion of ' this question through the medium of this paper, Our only request is that all replies be kept strictly to the subject matter of the article.—Ed.

Forest fires for some time previous to October 13th, were again threatening the surround- ing country around Duluth and Superior. Considerable damage was reported -in some localities. People were commencing to flee from the burning districts. Settlers, volun- teers, home guards and others by the hundreds were fighting the fires day, and night and in most cases were holding them in check. One fire on the Wisconsin side, was advancing six miles wide. A dense canopy of smoke overhung the entire district, and even at times was oppressive to breathing in this cityand still much worse nearer the scenes of threaten- ed conflagration. The woods and ground were as dry as tinder. The dead standing and fallen timber, caus- ed by the terrible fire of two years ago, was almost as dry as could be. and afforded ready material for a tee endous conflagration, which migit have equalled or surpassed in results the terrible holocaust of death, suffering and destruction caused by the " one occurring on October 12th, 1918. Had the dry spell continued 8n4 a strong gale arisen, the burning fires would have got beyond control and a terrible disaster occurred and probably a great part of this , city would now be in ashes, with hundreds of lives lost, to say nothing of the other fire -threatened districts; their cities, towns, villages and settle- ments. People were simply living in fear and terror and many a silent prayer and wish was offered for. rain. Providence intervened; their prayers were answered; the heavens opened and a rain of cloud burst pro- portions fell and which had not been Britain and her colonies would have a preponderance of voting power in the League and all such misrepresen- tations and subterfuge to defeat' for the present at least the ratification of the covenant of the League of Na- tions by the United States Senate.

Although the weather was most disagreeable,. the convention was a great success. The District. Presi- dent, Mr. F. S. "Savauge, of Seaforth, presided for the day. da The morning session was devoted mainly to the election of committees and registration of the various Leagues. Eleven Epworth Leagues throughout the district were represent- ed and se splendid` report of the yearts work was .given by delegatigns , frons each League. Seaforth was repre- sented by 'a delegation- of ten. - The invitation from the Nile delegation to have next year's convention at Nile was accepted. The afternoon session consisted of two splendid addresses given by, Rev. W. H. Graham, of Stratford, and Rev. H. D. Moyer, of Goderich. Mr. Graham spoke on Christian Steward- ship and Mr. Moyer on Our Social Italy's views when war-torn Europe, wall being reorganized.

At a late speech at Des Moines, Iowa, he has entirely repudiated it in any shape or form, and apparently by so doing has seemingly lost the support of hundreds 'of thousands of voters, who had taken it for granted that if elected he would favor the ratifica- tion of the Covenant of the League of Nations with certain reservations. In the Republican party are leaders who wish no league, others with res- ervations. These parties are hard to cement and Harding is sitting on the horns of a dilemma. He will get the support of Wall Street and the big moneyed interests generally, the Ger- man vote of those who were adverse to America's entry into the world war, also a heavy Scandinavian vote, pretty much for the same reasons. Italians will give Harding a heavy vote because they are sore' and peev- ed at President Wilson's determined - stand he took on the • Flume and Adriatic question in oppositions to $2400 A Year in Advance McLean Bros., Publishers t argument left for those who oppose Ireland's claim, are to -day seeking greater security for England in a distraught Europe by proposing, not the overthrow of the republican idea on the American continent,, but closer and more friendly relations between the two severeign° and- independent countries.

In your issue of October 15th you print an article from The Statesman, the organ of Lindsay Crawford, president elect of the Self -Determina- tion League for Ireland in Canada, prominent in the public eye through their activities in Ottawa over the 'week end. Under the guise of being a champ- ion of tolerance and freedom the journal compares the authorities of Toronto with the bigots and barbar- ians of Japan, because they refused to allow this city to be made the scene of a shameful orgy of sedition by prohibiting the Irish -Determina- tion League' Convention. Masquerad- ing under the fair naive of "States- man" the article hopes to convince the unwitting into the belief that the twin goddesses. of freedom and tol- erance have been set upon by oppres- sion and intolerance and bludgeoned into silence. The article does not say that the reason for prohibiting the convention, of the Irish Self -Determination League in Toronto was because this city would not be confounded with the friends of murders of policemen and . government officials in Ireland. No, it covers it all up under the black charge of barbarism, oppression, in- tolerance and bigotry. Unfortunately the Statesman's hu- manity does not extend across the Atlantic, but stops short this side of the ocean. In order that your read- ers may have some idea of what lies back of Mr. Crawford's and the Statesman's howl for free speech, they have only to turn to the account of the Convention at Ottawa in any of Monday's dailies. Here are a. few excerpts from the Clarion call for the convention which Toronto forbade, ap- pearing over the signature of one Lindsay Crawford, Provincial Presi- dent: "The reign of terror in Ireland— due to the violation of her solemn aims call to --iS a l d byan En war England—is all freedom -loving people, irrespec- tive of race or creed, to support the just and reasonable claim of Ireland for freedom to determine her own form of Government, without inter- ference or dictation from outside, To the Irish race,. particularly,that call conies with irresistible insistence, There can be no peace anywhere in the- world so long as this right of Self -Determination is denied by force of arms.
