. Our Adverse Trade Balance - I
A great deal of aiarm is exhibited in sonve quarters over the state of ow
balance of trade with the 17nited States, As tho balance of trade is maa�
the exclizo for regarding all American dollar as worth ten cents more thal,
a Canadian dollar, it might be Well to ask who benefits in the exchangal
The trade figarcs show a 11 continuouOy growing ,adverse balance," according
to a Toronto .authority, which is " really alarming." The August figures, w(
are told, 11 are astonishing," In August our imports were $43,00,000 more
and oar exports $4,000,000 less. This means $124,000,000 a mouth and ,a
billion and a half .1 year, anti accordiqq to the authority, 11 reveals a pace of
buying that canont last." But suppoke it isn't buying at all! We are a
now country and nation. We are being settled up and exploited by all sorts
of people, and Our neighbors take a shrewd Interest la us, Suppose they
and others consider this a good country to exploit and to settle in, and they
establish branches of their business here, and they send over goods, coal,
iron ore, construction materials, machinery and equipment for this purpose,
it is not we, but they, who pay for this material, and when it arrives here it
becomes capital, which is not likely to be moved while profit can be made
upon It. People, for example, do not send over and buy niotoT-cars across
the border. The manufacturers there send them to their branch houses here
for sale, and it they send more, it Is out of the turnover of their original
capital invested here that they pay, and before long they start to manufac-
ture. If United States business men as a class are willing to trust Canada
to the extent of a bfllioix and a half ,a, year, we may be sure they are war-
ranted in their confidence, and we should Worry. It looks more like a billion
and a halt or so of now capital Invested in the countTy, payjfig wages and
distributing profits all around. Good times are here.
Investigating the '"ydro, Radials �
At the start of the investigation of the Commission oppointed to investi
gate the Hydro -Radial proposals, the Commission itself and MT. Hellmuth
X.C., were careful to evince a proper neutrality and impartiality towardE
the Hydro officials, and practically relifidiated Premier Drury's �statemevll
that delay had been caused by the failure of the Hydro Commission to answei
seventeen questions. It was stated that all the Information asked for waE
either supplied or was being supplied as quickly as it -could be furnished
and the Commission exonerated the Hydro officials entirely of having caused
any delay, Mr. Robertson, who was obviously hostile to the Radial pro.
posals, represented the non -Hydro municipalities, and apparently had been
instructed tha tsomething had been concealed which it was his business to
Uncover. He described the Hydro counsel as having " skilfully stopped
around " his questions, an allegation that was at once challenged by Col
McInnes, who appeared in the Radial Interests. The presence in court of
certain persons who have a unique faculty for getting in wrong on public
questions was an Indication to the judicious of the kind of opposition that
had generated the demand for the enquiry, Various traction and allied in.
terests are naturally opposed to the Hydro-Radfal plan, but their opposition
is not based on the public interest, but -rests -solely on their Avil, The idea
e emphasized, that the whole scheme is in the Interest
of Toronto, should be seen to be fallacious from the fact that th'6 -strongest
opposition comes from Toronto, and next to Toronto, from Hamilton and
LonAon. Tile Radial plans are, in fact, rural plans. The people most in
fav�,r of them in Toronto, and other large towns are those who wish to leave
these places and live in the country. There are near 600;000 people living
in and near Toronto, and no city in America has less suburban service. The
people have been. herded together by�,a shortage of houses, Which will not be
overtaken in the next five years. Hundreds of people would move out to
the country at once If assured of iCregular and reliable radial service. * Such
a service would make and attract its own traffic. The latest estimates are
more favorable to the project than earlier ones, and no one who knows any-
thing of the conditions, and who has an open mind, would dispute for a
moment the certain success of the Radial project in'the areas selected. The
rural municipalities were not influenced by ,the cities I�L the matter. The
idea originated with them. They did not depend on the Radial Commis,slon
for their information, but procured their own data from Independent sources,
and they satisfied themselves with the soundness of the plans. It has sulted
some people to represent the rural municipalities as having swallowed pro-
posals laid before them by Interested parties, but this Is an altogether ,
ermaeous view.
AH in the Way It Is Done
Very few people give attention to the importance of methods in applying
prin(-ipIV which, admirable in themselves, may utterly fall in execution on
account of some defect in getting them into action. Nearly all the objections
one hears to 'the operation of ,democracy, of public ownership of utilities,
and even of the corporation idea itself, are due to the wrong method adopted
in putting the principles involved into practice. An illustration is supplied
in the election that has been going on for some months, and will continue till
November, of a President of the United States, who will, even when elected,
iYot be sure of his seat till an electoral college declares it, and who even then
will not be able to take life place till the following .March. The Ignited
States people think this Is a fine system, even when nobody in America
wants either of the candidates that have been wished on the voters. in
France, recently, they found it necessary to elect a new President, the one
in office having resigned on account of poor health. It did not take the
French as many days as it takes the United gtates, months to get a new
President, and they got a man in that time that was satisfactory to almost
100 per cent. of the people. It is all in'the Way things are done. The spirit
as well as the fear of autocracy was pretty strong in the designers of some
of the olP constitutions, and the curbs and checks embodied in the United
of the old constitutions, and the curbs and eounter-cheeks embodied in the
U4ited States ,constitution belong to the eighteenth century, not to the
twentieth. The designers of that constitution may have trusted the people,
I
out only the people they trusted. There were a good many others, and thsy
