OTTAWA, April 10. The attitude which the government of Canada will assume toward the United States on tariff matters was indicated by Premier Mackenzie King in the budget debate in the house of commons yesterday.

That is the attitude we intend to take during the time we are serving in the post we now occupy." The premier made direct reference to the St Lawrence waterway. "I want to make this further position clear," he asserted. "Of late there has been brought into the discussion a possible adjustment of the tariff in reference to the St. Lawrence waterways.

The family heads are all exper-enced farmers, and there are sev eral children in each family.
