Thursday, February 22,1W By B Deachman, liberal Candidate for North Huron, \ - In an Interview In foe Brussels Post a few days ago Mr. Elston Cardiff, Conservative -Candidate in North Hutou' saM ‘T do believe that I understand the needs of Huron County," , * If he does then his understanding-is a great deal wider than foe un derstanding of Ms party. Conservative opposition to reciprocity and to foe expansion of markets always has been - always wilt be a plank of the Conservative party. Mr. Cardiff is a Conservative- The National Party' and the Conservative Party are the same thing. The policy of the Conservative party is trade restriction. It does not alter font pol* icy by changing its name. Progress for Canadian farmers is based on vrider markets, not restricted markets, This is a rural area, interested particularly in live stock and live stock products. The prosperity of the towns depends directly on foe prosperity of foe fanners. The farmer needs markets. Yet, if Mr. Car diff had been in foe House of Commons during the last five years, he would have voted twice against foe reciprocity agreement with the United States, which cut in two the duty on Canadian beef cattle going to foe United States market, cut it from 3c per lb. to l%c per lb. And what would you have doneyou who now read this story? Without doubt or hesitancy, regardless of politics, in your own interest, in foe interests of foe nation, you would have voted for reciprocity. Why should Mr. Cardiff not have done foe game?

Let us examine foe facts. , Here are foe figures showing foe export of cattle of all Masses to the United States for the fiscal year 1935, before the enactment of reciprocity, and' for foe twelve months ending November 1939, foe last per iod for which figures are available. The figures in clude all rattle, heavy -cattle for beef purposes, -dairy tows and -calves, Year Number of Cattle 1935 ___ __________ _ 26,793 1936 _________________ 280,973 Thus we shipped over ten times as many rattle to foe Ufcied States 'market in 1939 as we did in 1935 under foe old rate of duty. What did that mean for foe Canadian farmers? The total calves and cattle slaughtered at Canad ian inspected establishments in an average year is roughly 1,600,000. If .in addition to this there had gone to foe Canadian market the 280,000 shipped io the United States, what would have happened to foe price of Eve stock? The market would have collaps ed. It would have affected foe price of all live stock. It would have lowered foe price of all farm products. The farmers of North Huron would have paid the price which must always be paid when we vote for the restriction of -our otm markets. The question now before us, is simply fols — is there one farmer in Huron County who would, if he knew foe mr-curasiances, deliberately try to prevent foe expansion of -our live stock market? Can -Mr. -'Cardiff name one except himself? Is .there a merch ant or business man in .any town of North Huron who, having studied foe question, would favor such Whirled Avmmd Shaft But Lives Wound around a driveshaft until his, clothes were all shredded from Ms- 'body, with foe -exception -of shoes and; storidngs, and preripitated into a grain bin some six feet below, finds - ’Oscar Outscher, 26-ysa.T-&ld Carrick; resident, still alive with no more seri- ■ osis injuries foan a fractured leg and.’ braises. — Walkerton Herald-Times. ; _____ _ j Mlllbank DfeSy 'Has 9ifo Birthday 1 Mrs. Robert Paterson, -oldest resid- I ent of MiSbahk, on Sunday -celebrated j her Mth birthday.

He would indeed be foolish, for foe expansion of markets' means increas ed purchasing power for foe farmers—more business for foe men who make and sell goods. Does the lat ter statement need proof? If it does the figures are available. In 1935 - 556,000 workers were employed in Canadian manufacturing industries - in 1937 foere were 660,000, The increase in value of products pro duced was greatef than in any other similar period in Canadian history. Yet while this development was taking place, we were told everj’ year in foe House of Commons foal lower tariffs would ruin Canadian industry. The facts are the only answer which need ever be given to such misstatements. Revision of foe present reciprocity agreement will take place within foe life of foe parliament we are about to elect. There will be opportunities for trade expansion in other markets. AVe shall need. larger markets in foe next few years. The Conservative party has always opposed foe development of foe American market as .an outlet for Canadian products. The Liberal party' is for wider and wider markets in every -country * I wonder if Mr. Cardiff has ever said io himself, “It is good that foe Liberals opened that market — good both for farmers and townspeople alike”? Will Mr. Cardiff tell us if he is still opposed to keeping open the American market for Canadian -cat tie?
