What High Tariffs Cost the
' Consumer
'When in January of this year the
Dominion Textile Company closed
one of its mills in the Province of
Quebec because it claimed that the
action of the King Government, in
permitting Japanese competition,
was destroying its business, it start -
cd something that it may well wish
it had left severely alone.
Mr. King's response to the Textile
Company's action was to appoint a
commission to investigate what tar-
iff protection was . absolutely neces-
sary to keep this industry in 'opera-
tion, and out of the evidence produc-
ed before the Commission there has
been revealed some astounding facts.
Facts given under oath by officials
of the Company themselves.
The Dominion Textile Company, it
was revealed, was organized in 1905
by a syndicate of wealthy men who
put $500,000 of their money into the
common stock of the company. By
1909, four years after the company
was organized, the promoters had
been paid in profits the entire
amount of their original investment
of $500,000.
But that is only a small part of
the story, a mere bagatelle. In each
and every year of the past fifteen
years the profits of the company'
have exceeded the original invest-
ment, and in nine of the past fifteen
years, the profits for each and every
year have been $750,000, or half as
much again as the promoters put up
in their original investment.
In the thirty-one years of the com-
pany's existence the total profits re-
ceived and paid the promoters have
reached nearly.' the $15,000,000 mark.
But still that is not all. The original
stock which cost $500,000; has now a
book value of '$10,000,000, so that
with $15,000,000 in profits and the
stock at a present value of $10,000,-
000, the company has made $25,000,-
000 on an investment of $500,000, ov-
er a term of thirty years.
'And that is the Company that
closed down one of its mills and
threatened to 'close them all and
throw thousands of hands out of em-
ployment, because they claimed their
business would be ruined for lack pf
tariff protection.
What about the consumer who has
been bled to make such colossal corn-
pany profits possible? Where does
he come in? In the face of these
facts? what does he now think about
protection and tariffs to pap feed in-
dustries?
The case . of the textile industry
may be an outstanding exception,
but it is not the only industry that
has had tariff protection against
'competition to the extent that it has
made monopoly possible.

An Annoyance And A
Menace too
In a recent editorial on the com-
paratively new racket, menace, or
whatever term you choose to apply
to hitch -hiking, the Toronto Globe
'sail: "It (hitch -hiking) now holds
a measure of good, clean adventure
for young people, and they have
swelled the 1 !1c accordingly. If
they are^ not in search of a job, it is
more than likely—bar the thugs --
.that they are in search of something
'hitt). tan be quite as beneficial, and
that i knovv'ledge of the kind that
i,:.._Y,_ • ,oetalmulate from travel."
no lct ge .. must accumulate
t'v ,. to e' . must admit, but we
trt soarea,'dy to admit that
by the youth-.
ful hitchhiker will in any way prove
beneficial to 1zis..4resen____t or future
welfare.
For one thing the hitch -hiker, in
his early or middle teens, who is
quite common on the highways as
summer. approaches, is neither in
searchsearch4 knowledge or jobs. Rather
they, artr from both, or they
would be in school, where they ought
to be.
Th4 are ' just"out for pure.;'adven-
"ture.. Adventure which leads to hab-
its of idleness and a love for wander-
lust. A week or so ago we picked up
two boys, of middle teen age, out -
'side of Goderich, who were two of a
company of four, who had .been on .a
fishing trip at the lake and who were
then on their way to their home city
fifty miles away.
It was a school day, but altogether
too fine to be wasted in that way.
And when we enquired about conse-
quences, we were told there wouldn't
be any. If they didn't,reach their
destination before midnight, all the
better. They wouldn't go home be-
fore that hour anyway, it was so
much more easy to slip in after.
We gathered that with the parents
it was pretty much a case of out of
sight, out of mind. As long as the
boys entertained themselves, it sav-
ed the parents the trouble of provid-
ing entertainment for them.
There used to be a day when there
was a certain amount of work- for
boys to dd.. ,about the home, but, ap-
parently, that day has. passed. At
least the word work never even en-
tered the, conversation. The boys
knew theirparents' names and where
they lived, and home was a place to
go when they couldn't go anywhere
else. But that was about all.
Hitch -hiking had brought them
knowledge all right. Plenty of its
kind. Self-assurance, an amazing
flow of caustic commentry, and a
Vocabulary that was really all em-
bracing and astounding, if only half
Of it could be printed.
These are not exceptional cases.
They are of almost every day occur-
rence on our highways. The insti-
tution of juvenile' courts is not the
remedy for them. Apparently the
parents .are not interested, so what
is the remedy.?
Something should be done ,about it,
because the teen-age hitch -hikers,
both. boys and girls, for the girls are
not free of it, have become not only
ah annoyance 'to motorists, but ' a
very serious menace to -the future of
not only the' hikers 'themselves, but
to the youth of the country at large.

Two Provincial Elections
Coming
Two Dominion Provinces, Quebec
and Manitoba, are facing immediate
elections, Manitoba on July 27th and
Quebec on August 15th. And both
were, in a measure, unexpected.
It is true that ever since the last
election in Quebec a few months ago,
the position of the Taschereau Gov-
ernment, which has been in power
for the past sixteen years, has been
a precarious one, but it is only re-
cent disclosure's in government cir-
cles that have made the retirement
of the Premier and the,dissolution of
his government.. desirable, if not im-
perative.
Whether the retirement of Mr.
Taschereau will heal the breach in
the Liberal party that almost caused
his downfall at the last election, no
one seems to know. If it does the
Liberal party will again be returned.
If not, the government in all prob-
ability will be a union of the Con-
servatives and Nationals.
..The announcement of the Mani-
toba election, on the other hand,
came as a complete surprise not only
to that Province, but to the Dominion
as a whole. '
Mr. Bracken, the present Premier,
has been in office since 1922; his term
does not expire until next year, and
under his administration Manitoba
has weathered the depression much
better than the other Western Prov-
inces,
rovince's, and - quite [as well as some of
its Eastern neighbors.
He has led a Progressive -Liberal
following, with ' an Opposition con-
• sitting of nine Conservatives, three
Liberals, five Labor and one Farmer'
Labor, in a Rouse of 55 members.
His opposition in the coming elec-
tion, however, will be increased„,by
the entry into the fight of the Social
Credit party, which, it is said, will
cdp_test every riding. •

S. S. LESSON FOR JUNEQ21, 1936
Lesson Topic -Jesus Exalted.
'Lesson Passage -Luke 24.36-53.
Golden Text -Philippians 2:9.
Christ's first •aeipearari'ce after His
resurrection was to Mary, to whom
He said: "Go to My, brethren, and
say to them, I a'rn ascending to My
Father; and your Father. and My..
God, and ,your God." !His next ap-
pearance was to the other women who,
Iliad gone with Mary to the tomb.
The third appearance was to Peter.
The :details of it are wholly unknown
to us. They. may have been of a na-
ture too personal " to have been re-
'vealed... The fact rests an the express
testimony of •St. Luke and St. Paul
(Luke 24:34; I • Oar. r5:5). His
fourth` appearance was to the two
disciples on .the road to Emmaus;
and im to -day's 'lesson we read of
Hi§ 'fifth appearance when these two
,disciples had :returned to Jerusalem
and told to the others how Jesus had,
appeared to therm 'in the way, had
entered the house and accepted their
invitation to dine with them and "trot
.He was known of 'thelm in breaking
of breadr." As this, information was
being passed on and discu'sse•d Jesus
Him'sel'f -stood in the midst of thein,
and safith unto them, "Peace be unto
you." His 'appearance was eh'antged.
They th'oug'ht it was a spirit which
was standing before them. They
were vouch .troubled, so Jesus Said to
thelm:, "Why are ye troubled and why
do anoti•ou's thloughbs rise in your
hearts?" To reassure them He add-
ed, "Behold My hands 'and My ,.feet
that it is I myself; h'and'le rise and
•see: for a spirit hath not flesh and
-bones as ye see Me have." And 'then,
while joy. amaaem•ent, incredulity,
were all ,stru:ggling im their hearts,
He asked them if they 'had there any-
thing to eat; and yet further to as-
sure them, He ate a piece of broiled
fish in their preaen'ce;
As He had done to the two discip-
les earlier in -the day, He 'opened un-
to them the 'Scriptures, showing how
Christ had to suffer and to enter into
Kis
glory,
Later on H'e 'appeal'e'd to seven of

WORLD MISSIONS
Once .a Drug Racketeer
W. H. Grant
This year one or two" trends were
very apparent, and significant in' the
rural church 'west of Changte. The
young people are taking• their place
in the church. A few years ago when
a' class was announced, we found the
mothers, grandmothers . and great-
gran'dm•oth'ers gath'e'red together, their
influence is not to be despised, and
we were thankful for their presence,
to -day we...fin'd the children, boys and
girls just entering life, son's, daugh-
ters and daughters-in-law eoantl'ng
`and remaining a month in regular
study, singing with joyful abandon
these native tunes they learn se read-
ily and love so much.
Which brings us to the Second
trend -the increasingly indigent's
',moire of, the Chinese churcilea..:We
found a class in a remote mountain
village. Which on our arrival already
had been going on for a month, hav-
ing been organized and led by a
young Chinese evangelist, with one or
two voluntary helpers.
The Gospel Tent with a staff of
fine young men, was 'being used in
selected. centres. The last 'Sunday
were were at Li Chia 'Chuang, the
tent staff arrived late in the after-
nocr to repent .that in th'e neighbor-
ing town, over thirty men had con-
fe.ssed faith 'in '.Christ, some of them
men of wealth and influence.:Stand-
ing in 'the 'church courtyard with
bowed .he'ad's, the members of the
congregation had a s'ervic'e of thanks --
end 'then they broke into
sc,n.g," spontaneous . and resplansli re; If"
there was., joy in the presence otf the
angels of God, there certainly was
joy in Li Chia Chuang that ay. It
was then pointed 'out that the teach-
ing shepherding of these new dis-
ciples was the responsibility toy, the
gmematiberson. ; •of Li Chia Chuang congre
One of the most outtst'andling, and
interesting members of the tent staff
this year is Mr. C. S. Wang. He
is a recent ,convert. In 1932, •when
bre was thirty two, years' of age, hie
was still a bitter opponent of Cihri,s-
tianity, After having studded for
eleven years • in, a Comftuca'an school
and completed the mtelm!orizing 'of the
Four Books and • five Clas'sites, hede=-
voted •hinusellf to gambling; the travel-
led widely, ;visiting towns and 'at -
t' nding villa!ge'fairs 'as a professfron-
al gambler. After a time he added
+o this .the iliacrt business of selling
heroin and morphia, which he also
began. -to caste himself. Finally he
