Vie oe 5. ar THE BROADER PROBLEM Over-tiding all these considerations, however, remains the desperate posi tion of the Canadian textile industry generally, Competition from the Uni- ted States and United Kingdom has 50 per cent of their-own market. While high costs of production can readily be blamed, the fact remains that textile workers are enjoying a standard of living no higher nor no lower than of most Canadians. It is unlikely that wage cuts would be a cure, What the industry is demand- ing, and seemingly. nbt getting, is tar- iff protection from the Dominion Government. : : The virtues and drawbacks of trade barriers can be argued at length, but' foreign trade broadly is vital to Cana- da's econgmy, As a nation we can- not. afford to get into business-block- ing activities' with either the U.S. or U.K. But, in the pursuit of the broader policy it would appear that the Cana- dian textile industry is being sacrifi- ced by Ottawa, Whether this can he justified indefinitely as mills continue to .close, smaller companies fail and. workers go on short time must sooner- 'or later be faced by the Government, --Frederickton N.

Letter fo the Editor: I was wondering if 'you would give space in your column to this article on sport. : I have watched hockey for many years; and have been a dyed. in the wool hockey fan, but lately. am gradu- ally losing my interest as I see hockey developing into a brawl. I have watch- ed most of the all time greats play down thru the years from the time of Lalonde, Pitre, Gleghorn, Neighbor, Malone, Vezina and many others. I have watched the changing of the rules;--and saw many great. players adapt themselves to the change, Jo- liet Morenz, Cook Bros. and. others. They say it' has improved the game, many don't think so. Personally 1 miss the old pattern of play, and the great passing attacks, and the canny stick handling of Neighbor, Noble, Mickey Roach, Wilson and other old timers, but that's just my idea, the forward pass has no doubt speeded up the game. The other evening in Port Perry 1 sat in on a game which was the most time I have ever seen. I only wish Gordon Howard could have seen this one. $08 § "For two periods Port and Peterboyo two Class 'B' Teams put up a fair exhibition of hockey, but tempers were waiting to flare up, and it only needed an extra penalty tothe Petes to start the fireworks. Officiating was good, exceptionally. good and close, and as T seen it, were in no way to blame. The I'etes became enraged and one player deliberately and maliciously kicked the referee on the ankle injur- ing him badly. * This is the unpardon= able sin in hockey. A free-for-all broke out even involving a few specta- tors, the Pete Coach was escorted from the bench, the game was out of hand and hockey gets 'another. black | & eye. What has gone wrong with' hockey ? "I think the players are mostly to blame, although not all, many of the coaches are equally as bad and many of the spectators. An offical no soon- er steps on the ice, when they start to boo, and 'the coaches continually browbeat. them, if they. think the de- cision is questionable; This is a poor example to the player. Hockey would be better without a lot of these arro- are always ready to argue and retuc- tant to leave the ice when told by the referee." They are a menace to. the game, and dangerous, : Isn't it about time something is done about these conditions, ov hockey could suffer the sane fate ag lacrosse, a fing game, that was killed 40 years ago when the same conditions prevail- ed that we have in hockey today, J.
