Ottawa, April it1.-Tbe Canadian Government has put wheat and flour, on the tyre list for the putptee of t b• tainiug the free admi..ion of Cana- dian wheat to the United States through the Underwood tariff, which fixes for admission to the United States a duty of ten cents a bushel on wheat. forty-five cents a barrel on Hour and ten per cent. ad valorem on other wheat products coming from countries iwposiog a duty against American wheat and Hoot. This departure was decided on at this afternoon's Cabinet council. Or- dinarily ouch tariff changes •re made lonly by act of Parliament, usually at the time of the budget. In this ease the war measures act is invoked and without going to Parliament any or- der promulgated under it■ authority acquires the force of • Parliament al y enactment. Canada has heretofore loitered 12 cent.. a bombe! on wheat and 60 cents a barrel fn Hour with an addition of 74 per cent. ad valorem war tax. By the order made today all of thew, chergee against the admission of wheat and Hour to Canada are re- moved and on and site: April 17 whest and Hot.. enter Canadawitbout custom.: charger. in its statement of reasons the rioc- erou,rnt .'eclatee that. while for many. there was a good export demand for all grades of wheat, now, owing to tonnage bring rho rtened by war, only grain of the higher grades le exported; that owing to thole conditions the 1 rice of lower gr..des of wheat in now lower in Owed*, than in the [Jutted States ; that advantage le bring taken of the situation to keep down in Can- ada the price of ;lower grades ; that es • special appeal is being made for increased agricultural eroduction, the Canadian fanner should feel he can obtain the best prices fur his products. Most recent returns bbow that there are 102,000,000 bushels of wheat in storage in Canada. Of this 36,000,1100 bushels will be required for seed, ford and Canadian milling, leaving 67,000,- (5*1 bushels for export. Free wheat has long been a policy of Sir WVilftid Imurier. Even after the defeat of the reciprocity policy he strongly advocated tree wheat as a measure in the general interest of Canada.

On Wednesday *Morning the war was again brought home to the people of Ooderich by the receipt of news of the death of Lieut. A. G. Nisbet. He was killed on the 10th inst., doubtless while taking'pat•t with ,the Canadian ferries in the great advance now pro- ceeding in France. Lieut. Nisbet was • son of Mr. James Nisbet, of Glasgow, Scotland, and carte to (7anad5 and to Goderichin the fell of 190(7 to join the stall of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce. He soon became a great, fav- orite, and his death at the early age of twenty -right years ib ttineerely mourned by $ host of friende'in town and country. Atter leaving the ser- vice of the Hank of Commerce in January. 1912, he engaged in the in- surance husinesk. In 1915. when the 71st B,ttalion was organized, he took an active pert in recruiting, and after spending the following winter at Galt, where a portion of the Battalion was at&tinned, he went acmes to England in March, 1916, end later to France. He was married five years ago t o Ming Laura Carey. daughter of Mr. O. F. Carey, of town, who survives him, with a little eon. two and a-ha1F years of age.
