LITTLE CHANCE FOR IMPERIAL PRE- FERENTIAL TARIFF. The Manchester Guardian does not see how an Imperial preferential tariff can be made practicable. | It contends that the interests of Great Britain and the Colonies in the premises are not at all identical. The Colonies, it says, are interested particularly in manufactured exports. They desire a market for manufactured goods. On the other hand, all that Great Britain wants from the Colonies are foodstuff and raw These may enter Great Britain duty free now. If Great Britain should give her foodstuff and raw material market wholly to the Dominions she would gain nothing but added living costs unless the Dominions would give Britain free entrance for manufacturers. And that is just what the motov ionists in the Colonies do not want. material The Guardian, discussing this proposition of absolute free trade within the Empire countries with high tariffs against the rest of the world, said: The still more ambitious program of a Free Trade Empire with a tariff against the rest of the world has also been resur- rected. But it demands even less considera- tion. The Protectionist line of reasoning which prevents the Dominions from giving British manufacturers easy and sure entry into their markets beneath the tariff wall applies with even stronger force to the suggestion of a completely Free Trade Em- pire. In fact, the Dominions will not en- tertain the idea for a moment. The Dominions are following Mr. Amer: advice in reckoning foreign trade valuable only in so far as it consists of manufactured exports. So long as this strange and per- sistent delusion survives, so long will Em- pire building, on the basis either of reciprocal preference or of Free Trade, remain a diffi- cult or unattainable ideal. So long as it lasts all discussions about Imperial tariff policy necessarily put a strain upon the cordial relations between different parts of the Em- pire which happily still subsist. But there may be, and probably are, other ways in which it would be possible to extend inter- Imperial trade. The Guardian thinks it strange that there should be any emotion over Chancellor of the Exchequer Snowden’s Free Trade speech, or that any one could think he would approve of a protective ar- the jatea rress 1s exclusively entitled to the|s jcatch exceeds that of Nova Scotia, which ranks second among the Provinces, by $15,000,000, and ex- ceeds that of all the other Provinces, except Nova Scotia, combined by $7,815,000. This is a fine record for a great Province. How- ever, British Columbia’s fisheries production is only about one-half as valuable as that of Alaska. The old Mauritania kicked up her heels and showed the people that she is still a goer in spite of her age. She reduced her former best time across the Atlantic by nearly four hours. However, slower than the German ship Bremen. The Gel ns seem to have a firm hold on that broom and will hold it, at least until some other people build a new ship. There is a feeling in many quarters that the !Law Enforcement Commission will in the end provide the Government with an alibi for not enforcing Volstead Prohibition—and we don't mean a fictitious alibi. Governor Roosevelt and the Presidency. (New York World. The office of Governor of the State of New York is a post of great honor and great opportunity. It is ‘natural that when a man has been elected to this office the question of his advancement to the Presidency should interest the public and the press. Particularly is this true if the man happens to be a Democrat. For New York is a Republican State; the election of & Democratic Governor is a tribute to the character of the candidate and the con- fidence he inspires; immdeiately he becomes an outstainding figure in his party. In these circum- |stances it is inevitable, even if it is not desirable, that ambitious hopes and far-sighted plans should be read into every important action and every cham- ipionship’ of a new issue on the part of a Demo- cratic Governor at Albany. In a statement to The World Governor Roose- velt s that he is deeply disturbed by published rumors that he is already angling for his party’s nomination for the Presidency. “I made it perfect- ly clear at Albany immediately after my nomina- tion,” the Governor declares, “that for these two years I am concerned only with the administration of the New York State Government. This is a man's sized-job which takes all my time, and I have not devoted and shall not devote any time or | thought to purely speculative matters which do not concern the State.” This is a level-headed statement. The responsi- bilities of Governor Roosevelt's present post are large enough to occupy his time. The Presidential campaign of 1932 is still remote, and no one has the faintest notion what issues it will raise. Mr. Roose- velt's real opportunity lies at home, in service to the people of this State. He has shown himself well aware of that fact in the work he has already done to modernize the social legislation of the State, to give it decent hospitals, to restore prosperity to its farms and to fashion in its interest a con- structive plan for the development of its water power on the St. Lawrence River. A Debt We Owe. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) is making impressive preparations for next year's celebration of the one-thousandth an- niver of its “Althing,” or Parliament. Democracy had its birth in the North. Out of the dreams and practices of a virile and free people developed our own splendid system of represen- tative free government. To this epochal celebration the United States has been invited. One man in Congress appears to have understood the significance and importance of this event. Representative Burtness of North Dakota is earnest for our acceptance, of Iceland’s invitation. He has introduced a joint resolution in Congress providing that a special delegation of five official representatives of the American people be sent to Iceland upon the coming occasion. We owe the debt. Columbus came, perhaps Bren- nan and Madoc came; certainly the Cabots and Iceland rangement under the name of Imperial prefer-|Vespucius came to the shores of America in the ence.

It would honor us to have a statue of Ericson con- spicuously displayed in America’s Capitol and in American cities.

The effects of - the drought are being felt most in districts which use water largely for industrial purposes. Mills in some places are unable to run for a full weeks' work. Batley, the center of the heavy woolen industry, has only twenty days' supply, Manchester has thirty, and many other towns are no better off. The Min- istry of Health has issued a memorandum to the local authorities urging them to take measure for the conservation of existing supplies and also to take thought for the future. Health authorities have for some time realized that the supply of water to meet the growing demands of modern sanitary needs and of an increasing population is a problem which will soon demand serious at- tention. T Excepting Russia, all of our war debtors have now signed up. It is estimated that in the next fifty-seven years Europe will pay us $10,500,000,000 principal, $11,500,000,000 interest and 2,500,000 edi- torials.—(New York Times.) e If Chief Drink-No-Firewater Doran wants to put prohibition Bibles in the schools, he’ll have to take physics and chemistry off the curriculum; they might give the children sly ideas about making capital that is invested in that industry in Canada.|® ————_‘—;:~ e, ALONG LIFF’S DETOUR By BAM HILL ey ’At's Our Guess, Anyway 2 “Blown to Safety"—headline.
