Mr. Bryce, speaking for 'himself and his party, :proclaims' that the basic policy of the C.C.P. "is, and always has been/ so far as the farmer is con- •derned, "the removal of the tariff bur- den • from the operations of 'agricul- ture." A' fairly thorough search of C.C.F. pronouncements fails to reveal where Mr. Bryce has got this quota- tion. It does not appear in the major C.C.F. manifesto of 1933. That docll- went offers instead the formation of apo& and export boards for band- Ifiiig'Mtjor commodities and the con- trol by license ,hof minor exports and imports, in oth`r words a totalitarian regulation of international trade of which the world had plenty before' 1839 and which proved tb be an im- inortant: factor in bringing on the war.

The change of Heart on that subject may oon eivably ;have been 'accom'.paztied by a change of heart about the tariff, but the record is not there to back it up. The bulk of Mr. Bryce's letter is taken. up with citing • instances in wiic`"h the tariff burdens t'he farmer, the idea being to .prove that the Lib c-rala.do not reduce the tariff. The re- cord—always a safe thing to go by— shows progress, and shows moreover a constant° -and unremitting attention by the Liberal party to the tariff, di- recting to getting the, barriers down; and .all that the Free Press said was that it would be useful •to add to the Liberal representation at Ottawa a man so devoted to tariff reduction as Mr. Fillmore. There is -nothing in the record of the C.C.F. to suggest that its western meml5ers' will dedicate themselves, as : �'estern Liberal members have done, to getting rid of, the restrictions on international trade. Its emphasis has always been upon internal tinkering with the economy, coupled with the fantastic idea that an iron -clad state morioboly of exports and imports is the best way to maintain existing markets and open .fresh ones. The idea is fantastic because it is clear from many C.C.F. pronouncements sd4 the.°' attempted, brit `Y. � 11 rip TOCIVetii i>„" a 0,14.4rase•4mzii)l cfizne;4uil u R ', 't4?e";p'A14d Pip, punt fame,'. , ' '?lie 13pnimptlo.A t la,t there exi,ts'gp?:.ebo,dy lo 9004 trial �Yh01)I +moizey ,fin . tl k('li lit Qr[i x to give- it to, soraebady else.

He is a practical man whose attention is seldom diverted from ilia constant need for overseas markets. He knows that the tariff is an obstacle, and that after t'he war, as before it, the tariff will remain a central issue. Wisdom suggests that he should •support candidates whose record on the tariff is clear, just as wisdom, has suggested to Mr. Bryce that free trade, far from being a "red herring," is something he had. better 'be in favor of quickly, if he wants farm support.
