In the lake- head cities of Fort William and Part Arthur, far exampie, prasperity depends on the fact that other countries want to buy Canada's minerais, grain and foresi products,, and every citizen benefits direct. ly or indirectly from the trade in these cammodities. Thus it is hard ta understand why the newspapers of the lakehead cîties should show themselves opposed to the importa- tian of natural gas from the United States ta serve the Toronto area, and ini favor of the "ail-Canadian" line advocated by United States promotors, who hope ta be sùbsidized by Canadian taxpayers ta build it at enormous cost from Alberta ta Eastern Canada. It is not as if there were no available market for the Alberta gas. There are markets in the United States ready ta take it, probably at a better welI-head price than could be paid by the ail- Canadian line. If Alberta gas were sald ta the United States and Western Canadian cities, while Toranto imparted its supply 4y the short line from the Niagara frontier, no ane would be harmed by the trade. ex- cept the pramaters of the aIl-Canada line, and expensive pipeline construction costs Would b. saved. 1Most important ta anyane outside Otta- wa is the fact that if the international point of view instead of the parochial were àdopted, the Canadian taxpayer would flot b. called upon ta pay a cent by way of subsidies. In fact, he would benefit fromn the duty of three cents a thousand cubic teet imposed on the imported gas. Penhaps the international paint of view and sound economnics, not ta speak of the interests o! the. taxpayer, have no appeal for the Hon. C. D. Hawe, although h. is Miister of Trade and Commerce. And o! course it must b. remembered, i palliation of the Iakehead newspapers' views, that Mr. Hawe's parliamentary seat ig Port Arthur. 1%e. jury wau out 67 minutes before bringing in a verdict of death for the kidapprs nd illrsof little Bobbv ~reelea.. ow id hey spend 60 o e E.FUZ IiUsaesotthet kind?
