Some weeks ago several newspapers published an interview in which Hon, Mr. Grant, Minister, of Education for Ontario, was credited with making deâ€" rogatory remarks about the North Land to Mr. D. MceEachren, Mayor of €obalt. _ Considerable publigity was given this interview, emphasis being placed upon the statement credited to Hon, Mr. Grant that he wouldâ€"not like to see any of ‘his sons come up to this country to settle on the dand. It seemed incredible that a Provincial Is Your Rubber Footwear Guaranteed Better Value? Every pair of Ames Holden Rubber Footâ€" wear is guaranteed to outwear any pair of similar shoes of any other make, sold at the same price and worn under the same conâ€" ditions.

Mr. Grant expressed his admiration for the Norâ€" th Land and his belief in its resources and possibilities. But the matter is not resting there. Mayor MeEachren of Cobalt was in town last week in connection with his candidature for the Federal Parliament. To The Adâ€" vance Mr. MceEachren said ithat the interview was correct as published and ‘that Hon.

Mr. MeBachren gave The Advance the following stateâ€" ment for publication :â€"â€" "I was sent by the Cobalt Town Council to interview Mr. Grant in orâ€" der to bring up with him the matter of securing a greater share of the mines profit tax in order to keep open the schools of the town, as there was a drop of over $30,000 revenue from that source of the 114 per cent. basis, and through Mr. Grant I was to endeavor to arrange an interview with Mr. Drury in order itc press the matter ‘fm'thel‘. I went, therefore, to mset Mr. Grant on public business, repreâ€" sentinge a public body, the Cobalt Town Council, and naturally I had to report back to that body the result of my interview, which I did.

In faet a copy of what appeared in the press was submitted to Mr. Bryson before rublication. But I will say this, if i1 publication. ~But I wil say this, if 1t| was not for the fact that I had \\'itl\‘ me a witness of Mr. Bryson‘s standâ€" ing in the community I would indeed hesitate to make the interview public, for the statements seem indeed inâ€" credible as coming from a Minister of the Crown.. Members of the Council and other citizens insisted that the. matter be made public as the citizens of the North have a right to know the attitude of some of the members of the present Ontario Government, if not indeed the whole Cabinet towards this.great North ,Country.‘‘ To this statement Mr. MeFachren added that he had given Hon. Mr. Grant and the Premier due credit for their promises in regard to the school situation. ‘‘I had no desire to mistsâ€" present or belittle anyone,"‘ said Mr. MeEachren, ‘and I gave credit to Mr. Grant and Mr. Drury for their exâ€" pressed interest *n fhe school question but I did think, and still think that when Cabinct ministers see ft to speak disparagingly of an important and progressive section ‘of the Rroâ€" vince, tie pub.ic augainted with the NORTH BAY‘S POPULATION INCREASED TO OVER 11,400, sessor in that town North Ba population this year of 11,40 increase of 478 over last year is an increase also in the tota ment, the figure for this ye: $7,373,068,00, which is ‘over . more than it was last year. | gwest increase in assessment figures al North Bay is in regard to income tax The income tax assessment this yeal YOUNG MEN THOUGHT TO BE DROWNED NEAR COCHRANE is g:'iven as ove‘!‘/-‘pq()(),'OO0.00 more than double what it was in 1920. 5 Fears are entertained that two young men, each about 25 years old, have been drowned in the Ground Hog River about 5 miles from Fauâ€" quier and 40 miles west of Cochrane.

Every important country in the world upholds ‘Protection . as an essential ecoâ€" nomic principle. Even Great Britainâ€"so long the stronghold of Free Tradeâ€"has now adopted laws that constitute Proâ€" tection of the most effective kind. In fact, the present policy among most nations is towards raising their tariff walls, not lowerâ€" ing them. In the face of these facts it would be suicidal for Canada to do exactly the. reverse and discard the fiscal system which. has been responsible for its progress during the past fortyâ€"three years. Free Trade would mean death to Canâ€" adian Industry. *It would also result in the immediate closing down of Canadian plants of foreign firms, with consequent additional unemployment.

More capital is urgently needed for the development of Canada‘s enormous resources, which will result in a lessening of unemployment and an inâ€" creased population. More work and more workers will produce an enlarged home market for products of both city and farm, and the exodus of Canadian men and womenâ€"and the dollars they earnâ€"will be precluded. _ \ The United States has slammed her trade door in the face of Canadian farmers by adopting the Fordney Bill, and the farmer is consequently now even more dependent upon the home market than in the past. Yet Crerar asks you to destroy that home market by voting for Free Trade. King‘s policyâ€"if he has oneâ€"will result in the destruction of the Tariff.
