Tradie TroaUes Ijix Mr. Guthrie thsn took up trade matters, pointing out that the Dominion's favorable trade balanco of .'302.000,000 was made up by Canada's tr3de with Great Britain. Trade with .he United States was on a Ufferent basis and year by year the country to the south kept draining iway our natural resources. The minister of agriculture (Mr. Motherwell) waa a scientific agriculturalist, hut .Mr. Guthrie believed that .he country would benefit If tho minister would confine his activities to igriculture and not to business matters such as the trade treaties., Can? ada Imported 8,000,000 pounds of butter in the last 12 months and exported 9,240,000 pounds. "Why noi let the Canadian dairy farmer have the benefit of his own home market? The minister will hear from the dairy associations about this question." Mr. Guthrie charged that in every treaty-making transaction the King government hod had with another country, the Canadian peonlof had suffered. He analyzed the trade figures of the last few years and declared that after treaties were made with France, Italy and Australia and New Zealand Canada's exports to theae countries had gone down and the imports from these countries had gone up. ■Cliiaht* With Malcolm While he was discussing thp Australian treaty, he clashed sharply with the minister of trade and commerce, Hon. Mr. Malcolm. That gent:eman, said Mr. Guthrie, was one of the most prosperous buisness men in Ontario because the tariff on furniture had been kept up to 30 per cent, while the tariff on other important industries, such as the manufacture of wool had been tampered with. Mr. Malcolm protested that there had been no discrimination against the woolen Industry. He began to discuss the point, hut Mr. Guthrie declined to be interrupted more than once. He suggested to Mr. Speaker that there was n tendency for too much interruption in the house. Describing Mr. Malcolm as "an outstanding exponent of protection," and Mr. Motherwell aa "an outstanding exponent of free trade," Mr. Guthrie wondered how they could "si. che-^k to jowl in the cabinet, each responsible for each others' actions." Hs was also, he said, at a logs to understand how the'member for Brandon (Hon. Robert Forke, minister of immigration) could "sit around the cabinet council and permit his confrere to en- Joy a pro ection of 80 per cent on his particular industry." Another opinion on this point, Mr. Outhrie would like to have was that of John Evans (Independent, ProgreFSlve, Hosetown). Mr. Guthrie reiterated his conclusion that the woolen Industry in Canada had suffered under the Liberal tariff policy.

One Trail youngster appearing In juvenile court Saturday had to pay a fine of ?6 and damages amounting to $1.36. Aiming with an air gun at a target -stuck on a light post, he shot wide, and popped off the light! To be fined $5 seemed tough. To find that the kid who told on him. would get $5 was tougher.

DFCFMBRH 14. 1!>2* Marketing by Compulsion Affording facilities for organized ™-6rketing of fruit, and compelling lbs use of certain channels for marketing, ere two entirely different things. The Associated Growers of British Columbia, have specifically disclaimed suggesting legislation for compelling the upe of one channel for marketing the provincial apple crop. Yet for some reason newa circles in Victoria persts'ently predict the discussion ef compulsion, at the coming legislative session. The mere hint from some obscure Quarter that the Assoclatfd Growers are Intending to suggest legislation along that line—a hint apparently entirely unjustified—is sending the smaller organizations and Individual Independents into paroxysms. Conceivably a stress of circumstances could arise, as In wartime, when governments would be justified in taking the most extreme measures in directing the commercial handling of particular products. Outside of such times, governments feel their duty done when they pasli facilitating legislation, and when they prescribe grades, as does the Dominion government. Cooperation tiie Key At a time when the Associated Growers were seemingly effecting tht* most for thtir membership, two conditions came about which were uncontrollable. One was the temporary breakup of the prairie harvest by bad weather, which automatically halted the prairie apple buying for a few weeks, and the other was a largo Iirltlsb Columbia crop. If every apple raiser had backed' the Associated in these conditions of stress, the minimum loss would have been experienced. But Independent shippers*, selling for any pri'.'o they could get, on a market that required the most Judicious handling for getting the most from lt for all shippers, demoralized the market. This again Is something the Assoclaud certain 1 y cannot be held responsible for. Just now, after a period of association with the Associated that was mutually beneficial, s&me of the Independent organizations are raising a hue and cry, and launching new bitter controversies. It is to be hoped that this bitterness will be jllayed when its false basis ls appreciated, and that cooperation will march forward, Instead of retrogress, during the discussions of the ensuing winter- Ten Years Ago (From The Daily News, Dec, 14, 1916.)

A doctor who loft his patient on his deathbed ar nlgnt ordered the man's High Blood Pressure It is rather fortunate that everybody with high blood pressure is not aware that .he has It, because the worry about It would in n great many cases he men- Kcrlous than the -condition Itself. A southern physician reports his findings nn 100 cases of true high blood pressure. Ho tells us that the kidneys ware Involved In about one-half the cases, and other organs in the other half. A family history of heart and kidney trouble was found in 55 of, the 100 cases, so whilo heredity may play a part, lt does not necessarily do so. The outstanding symptoms in most of his oases were RO-called digestive symptoms, constipation, headache, dizziness, f-hnr-fcnoss of breath, and palpitation of the heart. Three out of every four patients found it necessary to pass urine during the night which is a sign that tho blood is und(*r high pressure. The herirt Is usually enlarged be- falise of this extra work of pumping the htood through vessels that have lost k-mne of their elasticity. Further, he polnta out that infection in other parts of the body, teeth, tonsils gall bladder, and so forth focal infections they are called, are practically always present In thepe cases of high blood pressure. As regards the outcome of citses1 with high blood pressure lt all comes down ui the matter of the conditions n[' th| arteries themselves. No matter how high the blood pressure if the blood vessels are retaining their elasticity there is practically no danger. Bn ihn treatment of high blood pressure Is just the treatment of the ltid- neya, ihe heart and th<' removal of any infections nnywh-re in tha. boifi-. This physician reports that R2 per cent of the cases where these infi-cUonH \verf found and remnvedi showed improvement slMOSt Immediately. Meanwhile the prevention of high blood pressure Is pimply not sating W drinking too much, avoiding mental and physical strain, and not allowing the poieons due to constipation to get into the blood stream and thence to the lining eoat ofthe arteries.

In addition there wera 14,000,000 acre-, 0f gpftraeiy timbered country. When the laat survey was made Mr. Poole stated, It waa estimated there w«ra 360,000,000,000 feet of timber ln the province and about 16.000,000 feet of poles and ties. Much of this timber could tiot be marketed for economic reasons, one of which waa that some of lt waa inaccessible. Weat of the Cascade range was known as the coast district, while east of the range the territory was called the interior. There Was about 125,000,000,000 feet ln the interior and about 226,000,- 000,000 ln the coast district. By apaclss The amounts of the various species of timber in British Columbia were outlined by Mr. Poole as follows: Red c«dar 77,000,000,000 feet of which 18,000,000,000 wero in the interior; Douglas fir 7*.000,000,000 feet, of which ■ 12,000,000,000 was in the interior; spruce 72,000 000,000 feet, with 58,000,000,000 feet in the Interior; hemlock 84,000,000,- 000 feet, with 12,000,000,000 feet in the interior; and balsam 32,(^00,000,000 feet, with 13,000,000,000 feet in the interior.

Poole said that the present rate of cutting, combined with the loss by fire_ would result in the cream of the timber in British Columbia being gone in about 25 yeara. Each year there was a depletion of 80,000 acres. He stated 40,000 men were employed by lumber Interests In the province, with an annual payroll of 950 000,000. According to statistics, one out of every five persons in British Columbia derived their income, directly or indirectly, from the lumber industry.

Diplomacy Used in Choosing Names for American Airplanes WASHINGTON, Dec. II.—Names have a lot of significance for one reason or another—even names for airships. Take the fcasea. o-f the quintet of army amphibians assigned to make the "good relations Light" to Latin America. They are christened the "New York," "St. LouIb," "flan Francisco," "San Antonio" and "Detroit," in recognition of what these five cities are doing in commercial aviation. But behind the selection of those names stands a picture of official Washington rolling Its head on sleepless pillows for many nights before the selection, was made. Names of international Or national heroes of Latin America first were given consideration. But since each country has a different acknowledged hero, lt would be difficult to select five without offending the countries not represented. Famous eirly discoverers also were on the list, but again the question resolved i.self of possible regional objections. Then the ships of Columbus were suggested but some historians show there were threo In the discoverer's fleet, and five names were needed. Names of rivers were advanced. Again objections, on account of confusion that might ar'se in the transmission of dispa'.ches, should, for example the "Parana" crash into the "La Plata." Emblem Also Bothered Nor was the selection of names the only problem. Choice of an emblem for the planes appeared to have possible International repercussions. The first emblem submitted had at he upper right edge the American Eagle, bearing an olive branch. But to certain officials there were things that might be misinterpreted. The eagle was too large. He was placed higller than the South American continent. Wha. was more, flying toward lt and possibly some one might think the old bird was grinning, or even worse, smirking.

Dr. Tolmie Senator Dies GUTHRIE GOES 'S WILLIAM McKINLEY OTTAWA, Dec. 13.—After extending congratula ions to Hon. Hugh Guthrie as Conservative house Under, and to the, mover and aeconder of the address, Premier Mackenzie King, who resumed the debate when the house of commons convened after dinner tonight, said it was a source of gra tification that so many old members of parliament had been re- tiirnci. He welcomed the new member*. Referring to the absence of Rt, Hon. Arthur Meighen, Mr. King said he was not going to pronounce any valedictory, "as I am not so sure he will not be back again." He said Canada wns fortunate in having ho able a statesman as Lord WMngdon as governor-general. He then launched Into a discussion of the report of the Imperial conference. After reading the designation of the governor-general as having the same r hulonship to the government of Ca ' i 'a as the King had to the gov- oi lment of Great Britain, he said: ' The Important thing Is that his y la tbe representative of His Majesty, is a viceroy and not tha repr sen ative of the British government or any department of the British government." Separate Day The premier intimated that a day would be set apart for discussion ln the commons on the Imperial conference report. Any amendment on the report would be properly considered. No member of parliament had been bound, he said, by the report. Premier Klr% said he had not yet had sufficient time to givo tho con- .-■"'erUion be wished to give to the t me report or of having confer- wlth his colleagues about it to In ext nt that would enable him to make a pronouncement tonight as to what the government's legislation Would be as a rt-BUlt of its recom- mrn flat ions. DiecuiKlng the Imperial conference n-p ifi. Premier King said the Conserv- »t|vf house lead.r had Inquired why the Word "crown" had been substituted for the word "king" In the definition of the status of the governor-general in the report of the proceedings of the Imperial conference. There was not, said Premier King, any desire on tha part of anyuse to have the "crown" mean aynone other than the living sovereign. The mportant feature of the paragraph Of the report was that the governor- general was "the personal representative of His Majesty" and not the representative of any government or department. In a self-governing domln- len the governor-general W9s in identically the same position tn relation to the affair? of that particular country •s His Majesty the King was In rela- ■ tion to the affairs of Great Britain. Xad bXkb Away Mr. Guthrie had complained of the problem of representation but he should remember that the ridings were redrawn by a committee of the bouse comprising Liberal and Conservative members. Mr. Outhrie had run away from the solution which might be the implication In part, at least, of the single transferable vote or of propor tlonal representation. "We have suffered far too much In this country in the past from honorabl* gentlemen opposite preaching blue ruin." pad Mr King. Th« answer could be found in the statements appearing regularly in the reports of financial and banking Institutions. Canada enjoying great prosperity. The Conservative lender could claim for the maritime Conservative members any advantage secured through the Duncan report, but those same members criticized the government for appointing the Duncan commission. 0*t» One Back The prime minister said that Mr. Guthrie had sought to ?muse the house by referring to those sitting on government benches who had not always seen eye to eye with the government There was nothng. said Mr. King to those Who '•at cheek by Jowl in the opposlt on ranks where the leader himself was . former Liberal and where other oh' Liberals sat in close alliance with the old Tory party, and even carried off all the honors. Mr. Guthrie had referred to the tar Iff, but the prime minister had notice that Conaerva'lvea always .ivoded put ling in specific terms exactly wh:i their stand w»- on the tariff. He hope that when the budget was brought dowi this session the Conservative leade would move a tariff amendment in or der to tee where his followers from tht maritimes lined up. OrlUcdiea All Coming to the question of the Im perial conference, Prefoier King sai that Mr. Guthr e, in criticizing the Ca nadlan delegates alao w iticiaed tl. delegate*2 from every part of the British Empire. They had agreed unanimous to the terms of the report now ond* dlacuMlon. . Mr. King thought that Mr. Guthrl had failed to strike the dint met.nn in tween "»i'tu" and "stature" Canau bad not presumed to claim equal senior Ity in the commonwealth of Empire.

The sub-committee which had considered the all-important question of Inter-Imperial relations had been presided over by Hon. Ernest Lapointe, who had earned the admiration and gratitude of the committee for the manner in which he accomplished his task. This, said Mr. King, was Intended to be the* end of his speech, but the leader of the opposition had chosen to introduce some criticisms of the government in reference to the last election campaign. He had accused the Liberal party ,of propaganda designed to mislead the British people. Mr. King thought the British people had been misled chiefly by the section of the press which conveyed the idea, that the Conservative party would be returned to power. The Canadian people, the premii-r contimied( was never misled, but, unfortunately,' some of the British people were led to believe that such a thing as annexation was possible, add*- ed the prime minister. Premier King expressed his willingness to cooperate in the expressed desire of Mr. Guthrie to have the debate of the house carried on on a high plane. He believed during the last two years there had been more personal bitterness than had been necessary. The prime minister also extended his congratulations to the member for Victoria (Hon. S. F. Tolmie) on his election as leader of the Conservative party Mn British Columbia. (Continued From Page Two.) aaid Mr. Guthrie, that tho aalot tax was an injustice. This tax had been increased by the KlnK government and now stood at 6 per cent. While the amount collected in the last year of the Meighen administration prior to 1921 was $73,000,000, the total collected for the fiscal year ended March 81, last, was the increased sum of $98,000,000. Mr. Guthrie Vlleved that the present way to handle the situation was to "boldly strike out" the sales tax and the stamp tax and keep the country's expenditures down.

As a consequence of the economy practiced by the Meighen government, Canada had been able to pay off $60,000,000 of maturing loans without borrowing any money. Economies should be practiced by the government and there was a. growing demand throughout Canada, that expenditures should be cut down. The people of Canada were doubtlessly surprised the other day to learn that the national debt of November 10, last, was $2,144,- 486,000. "When are we going to start paying off this debt?" asked Mr. Guthrie. Credit Dne Taxetf The prime minister had hafl several years in which to learn what maritime rights were but it waa only in the last parliament that Conservatives from the maritimes had compelled the attention of the government and only did the government act. "I don't know whether the Pun- can report meets with the approval of the people of the maritimes or not, but I know that if any satisfaction Is given the credit will be due to members on this side of the house." Mr. Guthrie asked the prime mln-, lster to give in the course of hi* Remarks some Indication of the ac- jtion proposed by the government on the Duncan report. Of the Imperial conference, Mr. Outhrie Bald that one section of the country was inclined to think that thero wae nothing new in the report. "I view it as a matter of very Rreat consequence, but I cannot offer at the present time any unalterable opinion because of parts of the report which I do not understand," Mr. Guthrie said. He added that he had seen the agenda of the conference lawt summer and there was nothing of a constitutional nature referred to. He believed that the results of the conference were aa much of a Bur- prise to Mr. King as to anyone. May Spell Disaster Mr. Guthrie analyzed the wording of several parts of the report. The house,* he snld, was not yet in possession of all the official reports of the conference, lt had yet to hear from Canada's delegates, a full report of their mission. Until this was forthcoming, be would not speak too broadly on the subject. But he did believe that some very serious changes had been1 made dnd that the gate had been loft open for grave injustice should any government of the future "in Its madness" choose to take advantage of lt. In the history of Canada, so serious a problem as this had never faced this parliament, he said. At this point there waB la ughtcr from the Liberal side. Mr. Guthrie pointed to Hon. Ernest Lapointe and said: "He has had his laugh, but I will guarantee he will not vote this document through the house in its present form. If he doas it some future date It will spell disaster for this country." Dealing with previous Imperial con ferences. Mr. Outhrie said: "Nothing was more emphasised in 1911 than our right to govern ourselves, our rights were clear and well understood." The rights of the dominions, haa been further emphasised, he pointed out, at the conference in 1917 and when 'the peace treaty ending the great war waa signed. Then Canada "stood shoulder to shoulder with the other nations, recognized as being on an equality with Great Britain." In the 1921 Imperial conference posl- t'onxof Canada hnd become so well recognized that lt was decided it was not necessary to bold a constitutional conference. Take* Exception Mr. -Outhrie to jk^rxccptlon to a reference in the report to the overseas tomlnions ond tbe mother country as "autonomous communities within the Brltlah Empire equal in status, in no way subordinate one to the other of their ddmettic or external affalrH" and 'every self-governing member of the Empire is now master of its own destiny." The opposition leader proceeded to consider the extent to which this language brings us. This confederation :<of Canada) was founded upon compromise, he said. Wa now have every domestic matter placed in our own hands. Can we change the basis of 'jonfedcratlon? Can we change the compromise upon which this confederation !s founded? Mr. Guthrie stressed the distinction of the two principal races Iq Canada. He believed that if any government, of the future proposed to abrogate the speclnl features in the national constitution upon which confederation was based, that government ivould have absolute power to do so under the ruling of the Imperial eon-jl rerence. Mo Interference "Some time in the future some government of this country may arise and propose to abolish hilingualism ln this parliament—a matter of purely domestic concern, with no. external application whatever," Mr, Guthrie went on. "We are masters of our own destiny, this document says, and nobody can interfere with us; no other power can Interfere; we are subject to no Compulsion. The British government cannot interfere; wo are not subordinate to them." Mr. Guthrie was also of the opinion that "if a government should ariso at some time in the future and, in its madness I would Bay, propose to abolish the provincial legislatures in this country ,and adopt a system of legislature union, I submit that, under that .■language, they could do so." Nobody could rebuke, nobody could interfere, he added. The power of veto had been xione away with, he said, and the right to refuse to assent to a' bill, exercised only once about 60 years ago, had been Apparently wiped out. Moat Serious "Now, what ls the situation*?" Mr. Guthrie went on. "1 submit that it ls the most serious situation that has been Said before the parliament of Canada since confederation! I would not allow any part of the Dymlnlon of Canada or any section of this Dominion to be exposed to attacks in the future to take away the rights which we, in this country, look upon as sacred rights. I would not allow'the protection to be taken away from minorities. Why was there not some limitation in regard to Canada?" The official opposition, said Mr. Guthrie in conclusion, was anxious to cooperate with tbe government on any of the problems of this sesHlon. This problem especially, he Bald, should be approached in a non-partisan way. But the opposition had its rights. On tills problem, more than ajiy other, it was entitled' to the fullest enlightenment, and he hoped that the government would realize the necessity for cooperation If this problem was to be solved. _—_—_*_—l Used Articles Real Estate Rooms Board To Rent Bo«t* and Automobiles Classified Advertising Help Wasted Positions Wanted Lost and Found livestock Machinery Farm Produce Timber and Mines Classified Advertising Rates Want and Classified Advertising — One and a half cents a word per insertion.
