A.FOIZTH, Friday; March 5, 1937. • The New Trade Agreements The new trade agreements with •the Mother COinitry, which were an- • "'Minced it Ottawa last week, seem to have been received with very gen- eral approval. 'Canada is to retain all ,the free ' ' marketnadvantages she has held with Great Britain since the' Ottawa - •. agreement of 1932, which is a very fortunate thing for Canada, and par- ticularly so for the Canadian farmer. On the other hand, the new trade agreements provide for a freer en- • try into Canada of textile and wool- len goods, which will be received .1 with favor by the Canadian consum- er. The latter agreethents, of course, will not be so generally approved by t h e Canadian manufacturers of these lines, Wit judging by the evi- dence prodticed At the recent investi- gation of the Canadian textile and some other industries, the manufac- • turers can very. well 4fford to stand a very substantial loWering of the • tariff rates without at all endanger- ing the industries theinselves. - • As long as the new agreements ' favor the Canadian farmer and the Canadian consumer, they will bene- fit three-quarters or more of our populatibn, and the three parts that have enjoyed, by far, the fewest fav- • ors in the past number of years. • Mr. Dunning's Budget 4. While the Budget brought down in , the House of Commons last week by Hon. C. A. Dunning, Minister of Finance, show a deficit on the year's business of $87,395,000, Canada's fu- • ture outlook is not at all as dark as those figures would seem, to repres- ent it. 4• For one thing, the deficit, immense t4 as it is, is twelve and a half million 1• dollars less than Mr. Dunning esti-. ------mated-it-would be at the -beginning - of the last fiscal year. And What is •still more encouraging, it is seven- ty-two and a half million dollars less than, the deficit' of a year ago. In other words, Canada's income• increased last year by the sum of four hundred and twenty-six million • dollars, and if that increase continues for the coming- year, the Finance Minister may be quite Justified in his belief that next year will see a bal- anced budget. . In fact ' there was a surplus of fifty-one and a half million dollars of :- ordinary receipts Over ordinary ex- • penditures this year,,,,. which has not occurred in many previous years. • However, the Budget is not all • sunshine, and one of •the • dark* clouds to cast a shadow: over it, is that "Of unemployment relief. Relief • costs last year were very close to eighty and a half million dollars, and an,increase of a. million dollars over • those of a' previous year. The drought and generally unfav- orable'conditions in *the West, un- doubtedly figured in this huge ex- • penditure, but did not by any means aeconnt for all of it. .

DO the Fields Need fiSnow P We were reading in a paper the Aber day that the present open win- ter, so Much heralded by The trans- • port companies and car drivers, is } just plain poison fer the farmer. • That unless the fields are cevered with a good blanket of snow, the wheat and -newly seeded fields are going to be heaved right out of busi- ness. That hay and pasture lands are going to suffer, and such crops will be poor next year. , And then we were told by a farm- er, an 'old, experienced and success- ful;farmer, too, that that was all hooey. That given plenty of moisture, the land would produce. a crop. That the form in which that, moisture eame-frostt snow, or rain -did not make a particle of difference, as long as it did come, to be stored in, the .land. That it was in the spring, 'prid not the winter, that the heaving oc- cuvvrreedll., to be truthful, we don't knOw. But right about here we have had plenty •of moisture this winter, and right now the land is covered with a fine blanket of snow, so we don't believe we should worry too much. But all places are not, by any means, as well favored as this part of Huron is, and those plateehaven't had much snow this winter. Perhaps it,will make a differenee to the farm crops in those places. Or will it? ,•••tt, t An -other Furniture Strike , The 'employees in • twenty-seven furniture faCtories located in *nine Ontario centres, and numbering some fifteen hundred men, werecall- ed out on strike Monday morning of this week. Of these factories, nine are in To- ronto; five in Hanover, three in Wingham, three in Hespler and Preston, two in Owen Sound; twal in Strathroy, one in Kitchener, on f in Lucknow, and one in Stratford. . A peculiar thing about the situa- tion in Stratford is that Only one factory out of the six in that city is affected. And still ingre peculiar, is the fact that the employees of the, , closed down factory are said to be more satisfied with working condi- tions and on better terms with their employers, than are those in any of the other five Plaits. - But strikes are *peculiar • thinks, and when strike ',bosses order out employees, peculiar di -figs. often happen. One would think that Stratford's experience in ,the strike business, only a few months old, would suffice for some years to come, but, as we say, there is no account- ing for strike mentality. • In some centres such • a strike , might easily pass unnoticed, but in -towns like Wingham, Hanover and Lucknow, such a strike, as the pres- ent, is a very serious thing and has a fear reaching and very adverse effect upon the business of the town and the town's welfare. The demands of the strikers • for larger par and shorter hours may, as far as we know, be reasonable, n- -but whebne surveys the financial sithatiOn Of the furniture business in Western Ontafio, over a period of some- years, one might 'be excused for: wondering how these factories were able to continue in operation at all, without having to meet the pres- ent demands of less work and -more pay. , * • WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
