F . . in turn nau to Duy nis Dinuers anu piuws aim uuesu-ing machines in a market protected by a high Canadian tariff even against the United States which, itself, was in turn a highly protected country. Now the cycle is completed, and the farmer is selling his produce in a protected, or government-managed market, while he is at least in the position l where he can look forward to buying his machinnery iin a competitive market. That is the result of the "budget provision abolishing the tariff and the war 'tax. Of course, he either has had his quota for this year of machinery, or else he finds that wartime demands on industry have stopped the making of the articles he wants. However, his ingenuity will find a way around that until the priorities are eased. Meanwhile Canadian wheat is sold with a floor price under it. Canadian beef and bacon and cheese and eggs are going to Britain and the United Nations under definite agreements or under government managements, in each case with price control looked after. Also he has had seasonal agreements affecting certain products. There is still one phase of protection for Canadian manufacturers, and though the farmer may not be paying it visibly, he is part of the scheme of economy under which it is levied. That is the premium on U.S. dollars, now 10 per cent. Thus, for every $100 implement made in a United States plant and sold in Canada, the Canadian farmer pays $110. The implement manufacturer thus still retains some of his old time protection. The tariff may not be going out of politics, as the nation becomes more industrialized, but it has gone a long way from the clear-cut issue that it used to be. And so some of the good old-fashioned fun has gone out ol elections. Today they are getting too complicated. Are Women Doing Part? ... Leaders of the Red Cross workroom in Prince Rupert are becoming discouraged at the lack of support they are receiving from the women of the city generally. There does appear to be a considerable dimunition of enthusiasm since the earlier days of the war when such fine big shipments of goods were dispatched regularly from here. There are, no doubt, many women who could be doing more along this line than they are at present. Their consciences can, of course, dictate to them as to what they might be doing. It does seem that there might be a good deal more working besides the faithful few who are carrying on. Many women in Prince Rupert probably have leisure time or could make time to lend a hand in this very laudable war work to aid and succor unfortunate people who, much less than having an easy time of it, are suffering sorely through war's misfortunes be it summer holiday season or not. fered from the bare boards, everything was so scrupulously clean there were few indeed i without very well-kept vegetable ' gardens In fact there was an over abundance of produce? but ' no markets, hence no money-" hence the destitution referred to above. I have seen where families j ' have made nearly everything they needed wool grown earded and spun from their own sheep, leather from their own cattle , and goats, furniture, even the ironwork hin&s, horse shoes. sleigh runners to say nothing of bucksin, moosehide, bearskin, In their various uses. Oh! let me assure you the people are wonderful in their adaptability, In their patience' and faith In the country. Bruce Mickleburgh was as thrilled with all this as I was and as anyone Is who has seen the great In terior and its peoples of all nationalities, and Bruce Mickleburgh did not as you say "knock the district"-4ut he did knock the system which has been responsible for the conditions he did ask the people to support the Labor Progressive Party in Its fight to change these condi tions and to support a policy which will ensure the fullest development of this great country. Nor Is he looking for "votes of discontent" tout for the votes of those who have confidence in proposals we the Labor Progressive Party put forward. However, I must not take up too much of your valuable space, but feel that reference should be made to conditions In our own home town, Prince Rupert, for you do not need to go very far from your editorial sanctum to see some rather squalid condi tions, with the rat-Infested back yards, green with slime, danger ous with rotten walls and steps, where our very foodstuffs are constantly being subjected to the dangers of verminous contamin atlon, Oo to the back of some of NEW ROYAL HOTEL A Home Away From Home Rates 75c tip SO Rooms, Hot and Cold Water Prince Rupert, B.O.

The Farmer's Cycle... One of the lesser recognized features of the Ilsley budget of June 2G is the part it plays in completing a cycle for Canadian farmers. The fight over protection has lasted almost as loner as Canadian agriculture. It rose and fell in in- caoin, paruy ouiu oi sous, um . - - I floor, absolutely no furniture except a stove all sleeping on the floor. This, Mr. Editor, Is surely squalid enough and, as for destitution.
