As the Globe points out, so many conflicting interests must be considerâ€" ed in every tariff change that anything less than a scientific analysis in .each case leaves room for bias and bitterness. \The ihairman Of the Board, Hon. G. P. Graham, states that decisions will be arrived at only after a full, impartial and thorough investigation of the facts. A great amount of work lies before the Board in revising, coâ€"ordinating and simplifyâ€" ‘ing existing provisions of the tariff. 4 The British Ambassador at Washington\ Sir Esme Howard, in a public address at Toâ€" ronto recently gave expression to sentiments which were applauded by his hearers.â€" *~~â€"â€" THEâ€" TARIFF BOARD‘S TASK â€" > | Characterizing the relations between the British Empire and the United States as what seemed to him "practically the surest and firmâ€" est of any in the whole domain of internatiqnal relations," Sir Esme expressed the belief that any serious quarrel between these two great branches of the Englishâ€"speaking world was unthinkable. "We have lived in peace for well over a century," he said, "and there is fortunâ€" ately no question of really vital importance that can or should divide us. We have, indeed, almost reached that point of familiarity and Triendship when we can speak very frankly to each other when we have some ‘divergence of opinion without taking it amiss." an average of 8,705 wageâ€"earners, as against The inventive genius of man has again reâ€" " m total of 9,277 in 1924.

Exâ€" pressing faith in the principles of Locarno and the League, Sir Esme said: "The people mean to have it. The statesmen will be compelled to adopt it and see it through, and not all the machinations of all militarist junkers on the one side or of red revolutionary communists on the other, will be able to stem the rising tide in favor of peaceful settlement of disputes for which the League is the best instrument we have to hand." P According to the statement issued by the ~Dominion Bureau of Statistics, a record proâ€" duction was attained in the automobile indusâ€" try in Canada in 1925. In that year eleven automobile factories produced 124,458 passenâ€" ger cars, 22,144 trucks and 15,368 chassis, a total of 161,970 cars, which was an increase of: 22 per cent. over 1924. The total value of ‘the production including some parts and repair work was $110,835,380 as compared with $88,â€" 480,418 in 1924. ‘ * Capital employed amounted to $74,678,451, a substantial increase of nearly 23 per cent. over the previous high point for the industry, * attained in 1924. Employment was afforded to 10,801 persons ineluding 1,596 on salary and an average of 8,705 wageâ€"earners, as against "a total of 9,277 in 1924. Payments in salaries ‘and wages totalled $17,249,270, as compared w’i;t; a corresponding figure of $14,219,137 in There were still immense difficulties to overcome, said Sir Esme. European nations could not be expected to change their whole mentality in a year or two, but things were moving in the right direction. The Golden Rule, he declared, was a great ideal in private life, but, he said, "we need to see it extended also to international affairs. If all natibns are bent on Waving their way in international affairs there ean bd no peace. The Golden Rule is not Utopian. It is very practical politics for once the majority have this principle well fixed in their minds and have their hearts set on carryâ€" ing it out, we shall hear no more of wars and rumors of wars in any part of the world." in United States, per RECORD PRODUCTION L&ST YEAR. | LEAGUE IS A VITAL FACTOR FOR PEACE SUBSCRIPTION RATES ADVERTISING RATES five municipalities met in conference at ‘TOâ€"| â€" a very happy even ronto with aâ€"view to taking steps to secure A|last week at 18 East supply of Alberta coal for Ontario next sea.| whet Mr. and Mré.

"/ 8 Premier Ferguson of Ontario said the keyâ€" note of the situation.â€"was that there was such a variety of natural products in the country that Canada ought to be as selfâ€"sustaining as possible. While objection has been voiced to the Federal farm loan plan proposed on the ground that there is now no real demand for governâ€" ment credits in view of the improvement in the agricultural situation and also in view of the large surplus funds in the hands of trust, loan and insurance companies, the federal measure is largely of an enabling character and before becoming effective there must be provincial legislation and the provinces taking advantage of the arrangement must give cerâ€" tain guarantees. â€" â€" The chief features of the federal farm loan plan are outlined as follows: . . se "That the board shall issue farm loan bonds to make longâ€"term loans to farmers, and the government of Canada shall provide initial capital of the board to an amount not exceedâ€" ing $5,000,000 and subscribe an amount of 5 per cent. of the capital stock as loans are made by the board. * "The government of each province in which loans are made shall be required to subâ€" scribe to the capital stock of the board as loans are made in such province an amount equal to 5 per cent. of the said loans and each borrower an amount of 5 per cent. of his loan, payable at the time the loan is made. The loans shall be made on the security of first mortgage on farm lands. The interest rate shall be such a rate in excess of the interest payable on the farm loan bonds as is sufficient to provide for the expenses of operation. The farm loan bonds shall be legal investments, and may be purchased by the minister of finance provided that the amount of such bonds held by him shall not at any time exceed $15,000,000 and the amount of any payment by the government of Canada on account of capitalâ€"of the board or as payment for farm loan bonds purchased shall be paid out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund on the authority of the Governorâ€"Generalâ€" inâ€"Council. > As outlined in the bill, it scheme will work as follows: The Land Bank directorate will be orâ€" ganized ; the provincial boards will. be formed ; loaning will commence. When loans are @apâ€" proved the bank will dbtain the necessary money by a temporary advance from the Fed: eral Treasury, leaving Land Bank bonds as security. Then #When a consi\derable amount has been loaned, the bank will float bonds in the open market on the securities of the mortâ€" gages. With the money thus raised the bank will redeem the bonds held by the federal treasury. by repaying the advances. This proâ€" cedure will be repeated. The bill provides only for longâ€"term loans. The life of a loan is not fixed, but it probably will be more than 30 years. * While acknowledging that the basic indugâ€" tries of the country were depressed, Chancellor Winston Churchill of Great Britain, in his Budâ€" get speech, claimed that the nation is richer than a year ago and that general trade is imâ€" proving. i While Canada has been doing a large exâ€" port business with the United Kingdom, the possibilities for further expansion of trade are enormous. For instance, out of total imports of butter valued at 58,216,141 pounds, shipâ€" ments from Canada were valued at 1,524,024 while Australia and New Zealand sent in more than 20,000,000 pounds worth.

Tissot of the Paris Natural History | Museum, and read before the‘ Academy of Science at Paris,‘ France, by Prof. A. A. d‘Arsonval. | Mildew, Dr. Tissot declares, is tlu! original ‘cell from which all life on earth developed, and all animal and vegetable organisms are nothing but highly developed organized mil« dew. Proceeding along lines based on this, Dr. Tissot says, he succeeded in ‘taking healthy human tissue, changing its form and transforming so that cultures developed cancerâ€" ous elements, and these elements could be reproducel as easily as cultures of microbes. EXEMPTION FOR _ HOUSEHOLDER SAME As FOR MARRIED PERSON Undef the proposed changes in the income tax law, a bonaâ€"fide householder will be ‘placed in the same positfin as a married person and will be entitledâ€"to the same exemptions as a married person. A householder will be defined u1 one what at his or her own and: sole expense maintains a selfâ€"conâ€" tained domestic establishment emâ€" ploying therein a housekeeper or servant and he or she actually supâ€" ports or maintains therein one or ‘more â€" individuals _ connected . by. marriage, plood relations or adopâ€" tion. i "Selfâ€"contained" will be taken to mean a dwelling house, apartment or other place of residence of at least two bedrooms in which the taxpayer as a general rule sleeps and heas hi# or fier meals prepared and served CUSTOMS PROBE REVELATIONS Inspector â€" Duncan‘s _ Report _Says Exâ€"Minister of Customs and Other High Officials Got Liquor HMegally. ‘The confidential report of Inspecâ€" tor Walter Duncan which has been before the customs probe for some weeks was made public last week. The report states that the eviâ€" dence taken by Inspéctor Duncan shows that Hon. Jacques Bureau, exâ€"minister of customs and excise; R. R. Farrow, deputy minister, and M. J. Larochelle, a member of the civil service commission "received liquor that they knew was. being shipped from the government wareâ€" house in the Province of Quebec, City of Montreal," also that they contravened the Canada Temperâ€" ance Act and Ontario Temperance Act in fransporting liquor through the province of Quebec into Onâ€" tario. The" report includes a complaint from H. Provencher to the deputy: minister of customs, that R.

Jacques Bureau, former minâ€" istér. of Customs; R. R. Farrow, deputy minister of customs, and M. J. Larochelle, a member of the civil service commission. ‘The ‘evidence discloses, Inspector Duncan lur.. that R. P. Clerk has received holesale quantities _of liquor from the customs house for a number of years, and large quanâ€" tities of sugar and molasses. â€" It reveals,; says Inspector Duncan, that Inspector Clerk used a smugâ€" gled and stolen car and iegally reâ€" moved the tires from a car. J. K. A. Bisaillon, former chief preventite officer at the Port of Montreal figures in report at length. Kleven alleged offenses are enumerâ€" ated against him including the following: Procuring customs excise officer Raiph Garveau to commit forgery on Sept. 1%, 1924., Garceau, under oath, admits that he did cotâ€" mit forgery.

Two accupants of the plane were seriously injured. Richard Ragan, 26, of Colorada Spripgs, was sitting in his"car when then plane circleg 1,000 feet above the city, experienced "trouble." Norman Lee, student aviator, found the control bar. out of order. Ray Varney, acting as an instructor, worked frantically to gain control of the machine, but as the plane swung 400 feet above the business district, it suddenly slipped into a [tau spin. Ragan was killed instantly. Lee and Varney were hurried to a hosâ€" pital where physicians said their condition was serious. * 7 MARCH SET RECORD ‘The jlargest net earnings for any ?'(ITION TO REMIT FINE * OF $200,000 PAID BY AEMELIUS JARVIS, SR. Declaration that they are asking "merely for justice" and not for mercy is made in & ‘petition asking remission of the fine of $200,000 imâ€" posed on â€" Aemelius â€" Jarvis, Sr., which is signed by more than 60 prominent Canadians located . in many parts of Canada. The petition was presented to the minister of justice, Hon. Ernest Lapointe, last week. Pals Aemilios Jarvis had had the conâ€" fidence of those with whom he did business during the course of his long career as a financier in Toronâ€" to the petition sets forth, and his convicition for fraud, arising out of transactions in ~Ontario tax free bonds "was a great shock to those with whom he had dealings." ~ "No one can read the facts set out without a clear conviction that Mr. Jarvis is an innocent man," it is stated.‘ "There is no desire to reflect on counsel, judgment or government," it is stated. "All we contend is that in view of certain incidents in the first trial and facts conclusively established in the secâ€" ond trial Mr. Jarvis should be reâ€" stored to honorable citizenship." SHOCKING CONDITIONS ARE FOUND AT FARM An amazing condition of squalor and _l_urv-non affecting .a mother and family of eight, as well as the live stock of a farm, has been reâ€" vealed in the Township of South Colchester, Essex County, upon inâ€" vestigation by George Tustin, Inâ€" spector for the Humane Society in that district. Not only was the famâ€" ily found to be in a state of utmost destftution, and much of the stock lying dead in the barnyard through want of food, but at least two of the children, he declared, are menâ€" tally affected, while the actions and speech of others caused doubt )n to their comprehension of the conditions of their home. The home ’ is that of the late George Buchanan, Fifth Concession. Of the eight children, the eldest is a son of 18, and all live in the same room, with the minimum of furniture, and the house was pracâ€" tically without food or other of the necessities of life. . in the batmyard two horses and two "hogs lay dead, declared by a veterinary inspector who visited the place to be dud to starvation. Anâ€" other hog, in a condition of emaciaâ€" tion, had eaten part of the dead animals. As a result of his visit, Inspector Tustin ‘seiszed the surviving live stock, consisting of five cattle, one horge, six hogs, four dogs, 50 chicâ€" kens and six geese. The animals meiged wore pitifuily wasted and ‘It is considered . sutprising that so many bf them are alive. .. » The father of the family died four months ago, and of late neighbors, learning of conditions on the farm, notifled â€"authoritites and investigaâ€" tions followed.

An Encounter With Mr. McLaughlin Soon after Mr. Robb began his reply to the delegation, the Finance Minister had occasion to refer to his visit to Toronto early in March, when he met representatives of the automobile industry, including R. S. McLaughlin~ of General Motors, Oshawa. ‘‘There has been complaint here that the industry has not received much notice on this," said Mr. Robb. "I must say that the industry has certainly not been tardy in serving notice on the Government. Mr. Robb said there have been dire predictions as to what would happen â€" the lmpleme’it industry when the tariff was to be cut there, but on April 1, 1925, the number of men employed in that industry was 8,200, while on April 1, 1926, they numbered 8,200, or an increase of 2,000, so that that the talk of ruin in that industry, he added, was idle.
