If this proves to be election year we may find the tariff has become as outâ€"dated and as conspicuous by its absence from discusâ€" sion as the horse and buggy and a fiveâ€"cent cigar. As to natural products there does not seem to be much in the way of a system of world free trade, but as to manufactured products the difference in the cost of production as a result of the standard of living of employees and the rates of wages paid will have to be considered and proper provision made. It may be possible that the standard of living in many other countries eventually will rise so as to become on a par with ours but it may be taken for granted that the working people of Canada and the United States never will consent to sink back to the standards of living that are customâ€" ary and which have been customary for generations, in countries to which reference has been made. It is all very well to say that the Japanese and the continental Europeans could raise their standards of living. That may come after some generations but the customs and the habits of a people eannot be changed on sudden notice, World trade, as unimpeded as possible, is a goal desirable to atâ€" tain, but there are fundamentals that cannot be ignored or sideâ€" Employees in Canadian or Amecrican plants could not, or would not, adopt a standard of living such as workmen in the same kind of plant in Japan would consider quite adequate. They would not adopt a standard of living such as would be considered ample and satisfactory by workmen in a similar plant in any European country. To eliminate the tariff on such manufactured articles would mean that Canada and" the United States would be swamped with that certain line of goods and the plants on this side of the Atlantic would be forced out of business and their employees would be withâ€" human labor. Canadians and the people of the United States, for instance have high standards of living, even among the masses of their peoples. s Revenue, however, is not the only reason for the existence of tariffs. As long as it is a fact that peoples of different nations have different standards of living, it is hard to see how tariffs can be eliminated entirely on goods that are .manufactured by means of But the elimination o5 all tariffs, or the drastic and uniform slashing of all tariffs, is not as i1 plc 2s ome p opls, .n iudin; the lowâ€"tariff Liberals, believe. Any system, such as a tariff system, hardly would have been devised and made use of in the first place had there not been certain cogent reasons behind it all. The first obvious reason, perhaps, is that tariffs provide a means of national revenue. Such a reason alone would not be sufficient justification for the slashing of tariffs, or even their abolition. The revenue could be derived in some other way, if necessary by diréct taxation. After the experience of the last war there would not be great hostility to a direct tax which was known to be in behalf of government world News reports emanating from Ottawa all predict a general elecâ€" tion in 1949, with June mentioned as the possible date. Except in wartime elections, the tariff has always been the football to be kicked around by the politicians. So far we pave heard very little about the tariff question. It will be recalled that during the war considerable was heard about the blessings that low tariffs would bring once hostilities ended. It was argued that trading intercourse ought to increase mutual acquaintances and create a condition of interâ€"dependence. â€" _ . soil and convert them inio 1000 IOF IMATMIIN.

It is upon capital investment that our liveliâ€" hood depends, but the present method of taxation discourages it rather than encourages. Capital and industry will not and cannot operate without makâ€" ing some profit. If this profit is taken from them by the government, there will soon be few industries to tax. If a farmer was to spend all his time working and fixing up his house and while so doing he neglected his land, his barn anc maâ€" whinery, he would very soon find that he was without a farm.

TEACHING SURGERY The Report of the Veterinary General for 1948 contains gratifyâ€" ing news about other aiseases ‘which might be a menace to Canâ€" ‘ada’s livestock. Anthrax is seldom ‘faund in Canada; no case of douâ€" rine has occurred since 1919; of sheep scab since 1927; and these diseases may be considered eradiâ€" cated. Glanders has not appeared since 1937. Mange only affected one horse and 57 cattle in 1947 and official treatment prevented its spread. No case of rabies was reported in 1947 except among foxes and sled dogs in the Northâ€" west and Yukon Territories, and control measures held this outâ€" break in check. Thanks to the veterinarians of the Health of Animals Division, Dominion Department of Agriculâ€" ture, and those in private practice, Canada is free of serious animal diseases such as foot and mouth disease, contagious pleuroâ€"pneuâ€" monia, rinderpest, fowl pest, and other destructive animal plagues. Since 1868, this Division has been on watch and guard, protecting the health of Canada‘s animals. The use of legume silage as a feed for dairy cows is not new. However, its relative value as a \replacement in the ration for stanâ€" \dard roughage feeds, such as corn lsilage and legume hay, has reâ€" ceived considerable attention in recent years. In addition to its reâ€" latively high nutrient content, leâ€" ‘gume silage has certain advanâ€" |tages. A legume crop can often be saved as silage when weather |conditions are unsuitable for curâ€" ing as hay.

Macâ€" Kenzie, in which tests were made with legume silage replac;nfi corn silage, both when a normal porâ€" tion of the hay was fed and when silage made up the total roughage of the ratiep, no significant differâ€" ences were noted in milk yield or in condition of the animals.

Now that our Government has committed us to this line of action, success will depend entirely upon the deeds of management, labor and of every citizen. If management becomes apathetic and fails to prepare itself for the possible emergency. and if labor fails in production, then we will be ill equipped to back up the bold efforts of the Pact. This is something that Russia will be watching keenly. The minute she has reason to believe that the Pact is but a scrap of paper with nothing to back it up, all the good work will have availed us nothing and we will then have but ourselves to blame for the inevitable consequences. : The Communists roar that the signing of the Pact is a military alliance intended to destroy peace and create war. We, in our peaceâ€" ful nonâ€"police staté, know how untrue this is It seems to us that the Communist fanting presupposes that we arc as insirlcere in our declarations as ‘they have proven to be in so many of their agreeâ€" ments and statements.

The fact remains that should they even breathe such thoughts against government policy in a Communist dominated country they would be liquidated quickly.
