' Never- theless, some of the newspapers are noting the economic annexation which is peacefully proceeding all the time. The United 'States is spending huge amounts of money in Canada in the development of Canadian industry. Figures recently .published compute at three ' and a half 'billion dollars the amount of American capital invested in the Dominion. The number of American branch industries mounts up, into the hundreds. Quite apart front the capital invested in resourc- es which are undeveloped, the situa- tion will be borne in mind in the days now impending when the Canadian budget will be (brought down and when demands for a high tariff against the United States are forth- coming. The government is being warned already by certain low tariff inter- ests that to raise a protective tariff against the United States is not to interfere with American industry or to keep out its 'products, but simply to encourage to a degree even greater than now the location in Canada of branches of American concerns, while keeping out those who are not dis- posed to establish subsidiary corpora- tions in this country. The facts are that some of those Canadians who are really so strong against the States and calling for a policy of high protection for 'Canadian industry, are simply playing into the hands of the very corporations which they csten- sibly denounce and encouraging the economic penetration of American capital into Canada, already aggregat- ing the stupendous figure above re- ferred to. Tariff Rouses Controversy. The Canadian budget, from present appearance, will not be introduced in Parliament until after the Easter re- cess, which concludes on April 22nd. If it should be, the plans will have been changed. Meanwhile, the United States sen- ate, at longlast has concluded its re- vision of the tariff, and the process of conference with the house of rep- resentatives to arrive at a compro- mise over conflicting points is now under way. Because of the fact that Canadian trade is adversely affected in about a 'hundred commodities, a r tremendous speculation obtains throughout Canada as to whether the government here will adopt any retaliatory policy. For reasons which have been stated 'before, they are not happily placed to do so, because on principle they stand for low tariff and they derive their support from parts of the country which, economic- ally, think as the government pro- fesses to think. There is no gainsaying the fact, however, that a lot of agitation has been stirred up, especially in the east in favor of some policy having in it the element of retaliation. That is nowbeing pondered over. It seems to be a fairly good guess that when the new tariff is brought down, it mnay, on some commodities, elevate the customs duties against the Unit- ed States, for example, on iron or steel er possibly anthracite coal, but if it does so, a corresponding lower- ing of the tariff against Great Britain seems to be a reasonable •prospect, Consider Smuggling Treaty.

BENNETT Walton P%tONPE 230-32 SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, A "RIL 11, 1930. liquor question have come new negoti- ations between the Canadian and United States governments, looking to a comprehensive tteaty on ss stub- gling. An objection primarily raised by opponents of the banning annin of liquor clearances was that the policy is all one-sided and that the beneficial re- sults will be wholly for the United States, without Canada getting any- thing. The proposed new treaty would seem to overcome this objec- tion, designed as it is to bring about international co-operation banning smuggling in all its .branches, not only of liquor from' Canada to the United States, bort of cigarettes, to- bacco, silks and other commodities which commonly are smuggled froni the United States into Canada. From such a treaty, when negotiated, noth- ing but advantage to both countries is forseen. Canada to Deepen River. These are days of large interna- tional affairs. Apart from the treaty above referred to, the liquor legisla- tion and the effects of tariff policies, Canada has just secured from the United States government the right to deepen, even in American• territory, the St. Lawrence channel from the foot of Lake Ontario to Prescott. Prescott, as is known, is the designat ed new terminal for the transfer of lake traffic when the new. Welland Canal is opened. The anomaly was presented of having at Prescott the terminal to accommodate the big lake boats, but without their being able to get across to it because of the shal- low water above. All this, of course, was foreseen when !Prescott was selected. An international agreement had been hoped for, but political in- fluence apparently stood in the way of one being concluded at 'Washing- ton and so the Canadian government has gone to the rather unusual expe- dient of agreeing to do the whole work itself and bearing the whole cost estimated at about $2,000,000, whe- ther the deepening is ort the Ameri- can or Canadian side of the channel. The government will be criticized for this in parliament as it has been al- ready in the Conservative press. The reply which may be anticipat- ed, however, is that this deepening will develop at Prescott a great transfer terminal and insure an enormous movement through the port of Mont- real, while incidentally having the effect of 'bringing to a Canadian point for winter storage millions of bushels of grain which now, during that season, are stored at the Buffalo elevators. Some curious claims are made upon the Dominion government. Last year, after a commission . had made its a- wards, the government appropriated seven million dollars for the relief of Canadian civilians who had suffered losses during the war. They were mainly owners of ships which had been sunk, or of property lost, inci- dental to the sinking of ships. The strange counterpart now is in the application of several insurance companies who want the government to put up an amount of about twenty trillion dollars for losses which they sustained during the war on ship- ping which was torpedoed. The claim is stressed with all the force of a moral obligation, but the lobby for it is [being resisted strongly by gov- ernment officials. They claim that these companies went into the war risk insurance fully aware of ithe chance they were taking and with rates adequate to the hazard they incurred. If they had made huge profits—as in some cases were made —the government would not seek to share in them. On the other hand, if they have incurred losses, it is con- tended that they must abide by the consequences of an enterprise upon which they embarked of their own volition and not in any way at the instance of the government of Can- ada.

WINTHROP In Memory of those who fell at Vimy Ridge, April 9th, 1917. I I wonder how many tears are shed When is heard a military band? wonder how many mothers Have given sons to this glorious land?
