The Conservative Policy

Hon. Arthur Meighen, leader
of the Conservative party at Ot--
tawa recently announced the fol-
lowing as the poliev of his party:

(1) An immediate all round
upward revision of the tariff to
meet an emergent industrial con-
dition.

(2) The creation of a tariff]

board of experts to advise the
government of the Dominion ina
scientific way in regard to per-
manent and future tariff policy.

(8) The granting of prefer-
ences upon one single principle;
namely, that in future Canada
shall grant preferences. only to
those nations which are prepared
to give Canada like privileges in
return; in other words, upon a
basis of reciprocity.

(4) That a preference be
Branted only to such goods as
enter Canada through Canadian
ports.

(5) The subsidizing of the
railways by parliament to enable
them to grant Jow rates on long
hauls both East and West. This
isnot to apply to imports, but
simply to domestic commodities
like Maritime and Western coal,
and Western wheat.

(6) The imposition of an em-
bargo upon the export of Cana-
dian pulp, Canadian power, and
when possible or desirable, upon
other natural resources.

He Moved a Motion!

Fred Stork, M. P., has moved
a motion at Ottawa. The Prince
Rupert News was so elated over

‘Ithe spark of life discovered in

the Skeena member that it went
into hysterics and discribes the
motion as ‘‘a little bomb:’’ that
the motion “‘drew a lot of atten-
tion to himself;’’ that “‘next to
Dr. King he is looked upon as
the leading exponent of Liberal-
ism on the Pacific coast in feder-
al affairs.’’ -

That Mr. Stork moved a motion
is truly sensational and the effect
in Skeena was similar to that of
a little bomb. That was all lost,
however, when the News stated
that it drew. considerable atten-
tion to himself. Mr. Stork has
always seen to it that ‘himself’?
looms up largely. Then that fic-
tion about him being, next to Dr.
King, the Pacific leader of Lib-
eraligzm. With only the. two. at
Ottawa from B. C. Mr..Stork has
a busy time following Dr: King
and then leading the rest of the
fang. .

Except. for the fact .that. Mr.
Stork moved a motion, the. rest
of the half column ‘“‘special dis-
patch to the News’. reads like
fiction produced in the News edi-

That Canada is on the verge of a.
trade boom which may last until the

made in Toronto recently by Richard
Conway, Vice-Pregident of the Brock-
mire Forecasting Service of New
York. The main factor responsible
for the upswing of Canadian busi-
ness, he said, is the opening of the
foreign markets to the grains of the
past year.

Federal control of United States
railroads, adopted as a war measure

during the period December 31, 1917, |

February 29, 1920, cost the country
$1,674,500,000, of which $1,123,500,-
000 was total loss, $536,000,000 esti-
mated expenses and $15,000,000 was
required to reimburse small deficit
roads, according to James C. Davis,
Director General of Railroads, who
has just submitted his annual report.

Remarkable absence of timidity is

being shown by wild animals in the |
neighborhood of Banff, Alberta, it

is reported, as a result of kindly
treatment. Heavy snows recently
brought elk and deer into the main
part of the town, where a parade by
these animals is not an uncommon

sight. They make the rounds of the |.
. houses, looking for tit-bits, which

are not denied them. One big elk,
with a magnificent set of antlers, is
as regular on his pehedula of calls
as the milkman. —
