Said To Be Falling Short Of Optimistic Dreams - Represents Compromise Among Conflicting Inter- ests. WELLAND CANAL IS SEEN BY DELEGATES Whatever may be the divergent views of the Imperial Conference, so utterly monopolizing attention here for a ;month, at all events it has turn the course of all conferences arid had the' general oonseeu'enees. None of them ever attains the heights which, in advance, were sealed in the vision of enthusiasts. They build hopes so high and the •evidennti.al value is, of- ten, so exaggerated, that what is finally ac'com'pliished, '.sulbstantial though it may be, disappoints nmany who expected more. :About this gat),rerin'g there in Ot- tawa=•and from it the capital in a pecuniary way and, also, in a. world wide advertising from 200 corre- spondents ' has reaped enormous benefits one thing was apparent, from the start. That is, that imperial sentiment goes only so far. 'The patriotic platitude sounds well at the 'banquet table. after rich food) and stimulating beverages have been served but. when thew% get down• to business, there is 'v'e'ry little differ- ence between the Britisher and Can- adian doing -business together and the Britisher; in similar contact, with ,a delegation from the :United States. Everdrene Educated. Beth sides hhhre, undergone a pro- cess of edbu'cation, here. Some of the imperial iuncles cameover, . •alftier sounding the tom tom at home, im- agining that, Ode they repeated it formally Vete doors of empire trade would swing wide open with the same prampde as Jericho's walls collapsed at the blast of the ram's horn. They didn't swing wide opera and, to the extent that they did, stern sentinels were guarding the treasure 'of domestic industry be- neath the cover of •the protective tariff,- And then, ' the Canadian prime minister. who once made the famous declaration of intent to use 'tariffs to '°blast" his• way into the British market, finds that blasting is a Very onerous and irfitating en- terprise. Bennett Speech Puzzled. What the Conference disclosed was that, while the present Canadian. gov- ernment adheres with unwavering fidelity to protection, even the Brit- ish Conservative is still a free trad- er. The protection they have adopt- ed dopted is described as only a tentative expedient. They would get away from it as soon as they can. For a while the Canadian manufacturer was on the apprehensive seat, fear- ing, and with good reason, that, to some degree anywa -, Mr. Bennett was preparing to• thenep 'them. Then, it seems, St. James Street of Mont- real—the Wall Street of Canada— proceeded' to get 'busy and the Con- servative pro tee t i on ist press also got husy and there came a consbl- ing interpretation of what Mr. Ben- net meant by 'efficient" Canadian industry in his opening speech. The question was whethea the industry in question was so "efficient" ,as to stand the gaff of British competi- tion or whether it was meant that, by' •. reason of its efficiency, it was entitled in the untroubled .po•s'sas- sion of the home market. The iattee prole(' to i,e the official version. Whereupon, our British cousins ex- pressed large disappointment, .What results from the conference is be- tviet and between. Different Angles of Approach. In taking this .position. the Can- adian prime minister was not incon- Sirtnt. Ile has always 'been a pro- tectionist and it is a plank as funda- mental in the platform of the Con- e rvati -e party as it is in the plat- form of the Republicans, across the line He was prepared to yield, con- siderable, bet not in a way to injure irr.'ly affect domestic industry,, The facts are that the angles of approach of the two sides proved to he utterly dis,4invilar. The British wanted to invade the Market of the 'Canadian efficient industry, especial- ly in textiles, but, in other ways, as well. The Canadian Government's idea on the other hand was, that, pretty largely, but not wholly thin market should be reserved for do- mestic enterprise.
