INTF.KN.\TI()N.\L IDIOCY One sometimes wonders if we are not all wron^ in our international thinking. What is the good reason for pitting one nation against another, and becoming so furious over inter- national differences that wc want to have a lot of other people killed, on the head of it This is on a par with the folk who develop a more-or-less homicidal complex when election time comes near. Appeals to international (or party) loyalty at once overcome all laws of logic, reason or sanity, and the agitating demigogue gets results that are very difficult to support by cold reason. Take Hitlerâ€" (and we don't care where you take him, or how, or when, so long as you do take him) â€" and what has he done in Austria? He has made it a German province â€" to the great joy of many Austrians. He has the support, admiration and con- fidence of Germans at home and abroad. Not even the highest placed of his political opponents in Austria could summon the support of Aust- rians to oppose his bloodless conquest. We are distinctly annoyed! Why? Well, we don't exactly know, but he hadn't ought to have done itl The papers and politicians have so in- flamed us that we feel Hitler should be bumped off, or something. It may be that this move of the German Feuhrer is antagonistic to British interests in some subtle manner, but the British leaders have shown coo! heads, and have apparently not con- sidered that they should start killing off German and British soldiers on the head of it. Senator James Murray says that if the C.N.R. and C.P.K. are brought under unified niauHgement they can never be unscranibled. His analogy is nut amiss. Canadians are pretty well convinced thu; the railway mess is rather an omelet â€" and that some very questionable eggs were slipped into the frying pan. • • • Radio licenses for electrically oper- ated setts advance to |2.50 on April 1st, but a concession has been grant- ed to the owners of battery radios who will pay only t%vc dollars. No doubt the authorities figure that the latter have enough trouble with bat- teris without adding insult to injury. EUGENIA AUCTION SALE rOCK, IMPLEMENTS ETC administrator of the cstat Chas. W.

But if things are brought up often enough some notice is eventually paid them and the first thing we know the sug- gestion is enacted Into law. He thought he had reached the second stage. 'Mr. Tucker's idea is the one ad- vanced many, many times by G. G. Coote of iMaOLeod, Alb»rta, that na- tional credit should be used for ualloudl development. As It is, tbo banking system of this country mon- etizes the credit of the country and we pay a heavy tribute to them In the form of Interest. The Bank of Canada Issues the currency but the banks create the credit against that currency, enlarging It ten times. Mr. Tucker thought that a national bank should monetize the credit for direct expenditure by our government insti- tutions, at cost, and avoid the bur- den of Interest on public debts. He wanted also an easy money policy for the carrying on of public works to absorb tlie employa/ble unemploy- ed. Inflation could be avoided, even though the (Bank of Canada followed his suggestion and issued $350,000,- 000 of new currency, by preventing the chartered banks loaning ten dollars In credit for every one Issued in currency, in the opinion of Mr. Tucker. They could. Instead, be per- mitted to loan one dollar for dollar. The House of Commons approved of amendment to the War Veterans' Allowance Act, extending the scope of it. The allowance amounts to $20.00 a month for single men and $40.00 tor married men. It Is to be paid to "burned out" veterans who do not receive pensions and are suff- ering frora no disability caused by war service but who are unable to support themselves due to strain and hardship of war service. As the Act stood, the allowance was payable to Great War Veterans over sixty years of age and, with restrictions, to veterans over fifty- five. It will now cover both the vet- erans of the South African and the Great Wars, practically regardless of age, providing they served in an ac- tual theatre of war and are unem- ployed and likely to become unem- ployable. * • * * The legalizing of sweepstakes keeps bobbing up year after year, either in the Senate or the House of Commons. This year It was moved and seconded by two Quebec mem- bers. They are asking that the Crim- inal Code be amended by changing a section of the Act, deleting the pro- hibition of sweepstakes, and having it read: "Sweepstakes organized by the government of a province of Canada by or under a law of the legislature of such province: Provided there shall not be held more than one sweepstake In any province In each calendar year and provided also that the net proceeds of the sweepstake shall be applied exclusively to or divided amongst legally consti- tuted universities and (or) hos- pitals of the province as may be determined by the said prov- ince." Ernest Bertrand, In seconding the niotlnn, made a strong case for ths^ amendment quoted above. He said that in tobacco stores at the corners of Important .streets In Montreal tiokots are tor sale and that he knew a lot of peoplf> who were buying them. Mr. Euler Interjected, "Mem- bM-8 of Parliament?" Mr. Bertrand replied: "Yes, even Members of Parliament." He a.rgued that It tlcketB could be sold In this open fashion there must be strong opin- ion tor 11 and he advocated that the money be kept at home rather than being sent to Ireland and Great Britain. The hour allotted tor the dlscus- .'ion expired before the opponents of the Bill had time to advance their views, but that will come later. The gravest charge against lotteries Is that it Increasingly Induces people to rely upon chance rather than on constructive effort. Those who con- slsteiitly "take a chance" â€" and what a long chance â€" too often come to the place where they do Uttle else. * * • * â- Many members entered the' debate advocating a reduction of the tariff on farm implements. It was reduc- ed to 7V4% In May 1936 but there is an excise tax of 3% on imported machinery, making the rate 10.72 per cent. The depression so lowered the purchasing power of the farmer that he bought only what was abso- lutely npo(Vwary, and hardly that, which resulted In very lltJe replace- ment of fflirm impleraent.<. And now, when necessity compels him to buy and when too a slight improvement In economic conditions enables him to purchase the most rnvded Imple- nvnls. it 1.1 essential to agriculture that the price be moderat(> and fair.

Nam* >~- Addrist W05 \\Y DAY A FISH DAY menls, those entering Canada from any country except Great Britain had to bear a duty ot 25%. They still entered free from Great B>rltaln but this meant little, since, in the three years previous to 1932, not ono separator had entered Canada from there. Undoubtedly, the Can- adian manufacturer took advantage of the tariff of 25%. Mr. ThorsOn, Liberal memiber for Selkirk, gave interesting proof of this tact. In 1932 the price of No. 2 separators at Rieglna was $103.50 and at Billings, IMontana, $102.30, but after the tariff was put on the price In Billings dropped to $90.90 and in Regina dropped by but $1.00. "That is fair evidence, iMr. Speaker, that the price of the cream separator on the Canadian side of the line was artificially held up by the Imposition ot tariff in 1932." Oddly enough, the selling com- mission on cream separators of Can- adian companies, at any rate some of them, runs much higher than on other farm implements. For in- stance, in the case of the Intorna- tlonal Harvester Company, the per- centage ot selling tfosts tor commis- sions is 28,17%, while that for all typical farm im/plements Is only 15.89%. It is interesting to know where the separators that every farmer uses comes Crom. In 1936 we Im- ported 12,073, by far the largest number coming from Sweden. Only 1,000 came from the United King- dom. And in the same year 11,000 were produced In Canada. Only the thousand coming from the United Kingdom were firee from duty. On all others Imported we paid 25% tariff to the government and on those manufactured at home we paid the 25% to the manufacturer in the higher prices. There is a stirong feeling In the House that cream separators, and indeed all farm Implements, should be on a free basis. How far It wM remains to be seen. AONBS C.
