We quote below questions and a declaration evolved at the last New- market conference, and which will be taken up at the provincial meeting this week. As we have stated, sane leadership is needed in discussing these questions and declaration : ` The Questions 1.

The farmers, we all know, are hard hit, and there is too big a discrepancy between what the farmer gets for what he has to sell and what he has to buy. Who is to blame for this ? Some speakers at the meetings held laid the blame on our social system, on the unfair dis- tribution of wealth, and on our governments. This is a world condi- tion and was not brought about by the failure of any single factor, but rather by a chain of circumstances brought about by the great war, or at least intensied. The people in every country had to readjust them- selves and selshness crept in. No class is blameless. The manuafctur- ing industry, highly organized, has been able to stand the strain better than the farmers, who are unorgan- ized. Agriculture is the parent in- dustry and as such should have rst consideration. Co-operation and or- ganization with` sane leaders will do more than anything to bring the par- ent industry back to its proper place. WP rmntn, hplnw nmnstinns and A The economic condition of the farmers this year has aroused a cer- tain number to action, and as a re- sun of a conference held in New- market in August it was decided to arouse public opinion. Meetings were held at various centres in Simcoe County, and now a provincial confer~ ence is to be held at Newmarket on Friday and Saturday this week.

The present supply of electric power from other sources will be exhausted by the time this development can be placed on a producin-g `basis. The work will employ a vast number of men, contractors and engineers and call for a large amount of material ` and equipment. From the naviga- alone the advantages of I cheaper freight transportation, the routing of freight through Canada and the general would accrue to navigation interests by an uninterrupted route for large vessels through the upper lakes, , would in themselves perhaps be sui- cient to justify this expenditure. On the economic side we must also re- member that every year we delay the development and use of a million horsepower of electric energy we are, in effect, allowing some twenty mil- lion dollars to ow down to the sea. By all means, we say, get this big work under way at the earliest pos- sible moment. advantages that ` Don't buy a permit unless you can afford it, is the advice furnished by Sir Henry Drayton, chairman of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, 11) announcing liquor permits for 1932 will be available on Monday next.

The volume of business transact- ed by the board during the past 12 months is considerably below that of former years, a sure indication that people are becoming more temperate and are not consuming anything like the quantity of liquor as formerly, said Sir Henry. But there is one im- portant thing to remember, that al- though the volume of sales has fallen off we have not reduced our staff nor made any cut in our wage bill. If other employers of labor follow our example in this regard prosperity will soon be with us all again. Armistice Day, or Remembrance Day, November 11th. will henceforth be observed as a general holi-. day, but we cannot see how this is going to add anything to the signi cance of the occasion. The silence that falls at 11 o clock upon the clamor of a busy day is the most striking tribute to the import of that moment. Making the anniversary 2: general holiday will in a way deprive the day of its signicance. It will be just another holiday, a time for forgetting everything but the parti- cular pleasures planned. Well done. Britain! will be the chorused answer of steady-minded pvoplv ril ovrsr the world. The prospect of a start on the St. Lawrence waterway and power de- velopment seems nearer under the present government. There are many arguments against further delay.

The trucks do give a service which the ra-ilways have not met, but we can- not do without our railways, parti- cularly in the winter months. This. merely emphasizes the necesisty of a thorough investigation into the whole question of truck and rail competi- tion, that the best interests of the country may be served. 3.1] U. are Devoted worthy of clmrzu-ler. SHOULD INVESTIGATE TRUCK AND RAIL COMPETITION The inroads of motor trucks into the carrying business of the railroads has become serious, and it is quite evdent that if our railroads are to be mainta-ined on a paying basis some- thing will have to be done. Accord- ing to gures presented on behalf of the truck owners of Ontario, they are not making money either. It is pointed out that there are in the pro- vince 2,76-3 trucks, valued at $600,- 427,174, operating under public com1 mercial vehicle licenses. The gross revenue of these vehicles is given as $115,756,019, from which must be de- ducted $5,474,402 paid in wages, $1,162,814 paid in taxes, and un- stated sums for maintenance and de- preciation. It will thus be seen that, without taking into consideration any investment in garages or other premises, the owners represent them- selves to be making less than bank interest on the value of the trucks alone.
