THE EMPIRE TIMES HAVE CHANGED Australia must awaken to the fact that in rriatters of trade and tariff ^he can no longer have her own way unrestrained. ' We have had a long run. We6 have for more than half a century maintained, high tariffs -against Great Britain and have thus sheltered our Own industries; and it iri not for us either ,to Complain that Britain should impose one duty on orie of our products or to repine that we ha ve. to' suffer from, the new Brit­ ish policy.* After, all, a tax- on meat is ..preferable? to certain' other meas­ ures which have been suggested. One of' these was the payment of a very large subsidy to the” British produc­ ers of meaU-This would have enabled the British to undersell•' the Australi­ an producer in the British market. Another suggestion was' the limita­ tion of Australian ekportb to Great Britain.- ,This would .Iibve, led to a restriction of the production in Aus­ tralia—a policy domestic despera­ tion in a new, country.

Yet it took Mr- Bennett ah hour arid a quarter tp rriake his way through the enthusiast^ throng who greeted him familiarly and sincerely as “R.B.” and sought to shake him by the hand.

Callaway Marston Writing in the Ottawa Journal Gives . a Picture of the Domin­ ion’s Ca p it a 1 that E v e r.y Canadian Should Read. Remarks Mr. MarstonOttawa is still Canada’s Capital. The re­ minder isn’t necessarily a; waste of, words; Of course it is" a fact cos­ mopolitan visitors remember when carrying away pleasant recollections of its buildings, ’its beauty, its .charm and its famed hospitality. In Europe its importance is recognized and not unheard of in.Asia. That is the. for­ eign' situatiofi; But'among the"'native born there seem to be many with a wrong, slant towads their country’s Capital. To some it is unknown and unvisited, heard of but unsung. There, are those to whom Paris is a familiar , playground, London a 'dream fulfilled, arid Ottawa merely a place back home. Canadians should become Ottawa conscious. The Capital is not just a landmark Where Federal laws are made on Parliariient Hill,— an over­ grown town masquerading as a.met­ ropolis. Quite apart from its national importance it is. a city of grace and dignity set in a garden spot of th’e world. Iri incalculable ways-, it is linked with a country, stretching from ocean to ocean, reaching far to the North, and with a Southern' * Piboundary that needs no armed pro­ tection. What Ottawa will become gio .man may foretell 'but its .foundations are strong and its ever, increasing importance "seems assured. To those who- know it Ottawa needs no selling- Still in. a-transi­ tion stage it must be visited at in­ tervals to^keep abreast of its many Changes. It has gone. far. since'a cyn'jc dubbed, it “City o.f sawdust and civil service.’’ For’all'its peSrie, its' dignity-, „its air ‘ akiij. to aloofness, Ottawa has a Colorful background quite unsuspected, by those content, with the obvious.. It is breath taking —that story of the. selection of what, is now its site, the development of its surroundings, the ^personalities of those Who made possible- what it is |U : s om e old' rini v ersrty town.. "It repays study in all its . aspects.. Standing at' the country’s cross roads many paths meet before it—a junction -whe^e the. life - and I- interests of a natio|n blend. There is.-little use try­ ing to, describe the city. Tourist agencies say it with adjectives,' and guide books praise it with many words.' But a thumbnail sketch can­ knot do it justice, or convey an idea of its resources, To yead what Ot­ tawa’ is will arouse interest, but to know it awakens enthusiasm- Those to whom it is little more tiiari a name —the coast to - coast commuter, and travellers whose tickets? call for less mileage—should use up all stop­ over privilege?, /and see , for them­ selves. Canadians should study their Capital and all for which it stands.- Adult and child should know the poignant significance, of. i^s Peace Tower, the dignity of thejmildings on the Hill, and' learh 'at firisETiant of their .'country in its making.
