The plan of forego projects is ject to the approval of the Boaru of Raitway Commissioners and an immediate start will be made when approval is received. Millions Each Figures from the sub- Year C.N.R. indi | cate that $10,000,000 will pe gpent in Montreal every year for five years. The pay roll will total ne tween $2,000,000 a year. All this will go primarily into the pockets of Montrecl work men, and ultimately to the mer chants and others serving them. It is expected that 1,000 men will be employed and perhaps more by the time summer has arrived. These men for the most part will be kept busy for five years, with increases or 'decreases of total in the number employed according to weather and other circumstances. Thus between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000 will be earned by workers within the next five years. The Canadian National, through its hotel program, brings money and work to Montreal, the Domin- ion Bridge Company getting the contract for the structural steel in the new Canadian National hotel at Saskatoon. More than 2,000 tong of steel will be used. Pretentious Program .. ... The Canadian Pacific also pre- sents a pretentious program. C.P, R. engineers await only the com- ing of milder weather to start work on Windsor Station and Glen Yards, Several hundred workmen will be continuously employed on work to cost almost half a million dollars. Windsor Station is being enlarged so it can handle more trains, and more tracks are being prepared for the purpose. In order to facilitate the handl- ing of traing, and to shunt them more easily, the loop yard at tne Glen (just opposite Westmount Station) is being improved, and the track doubled. Canadian Pacific officials also point out that $6,600,000 worth ol work on building and re-conditic®i- ing rolling stock is being done and a lot of this is being carried out at Angus Shops. This means that the big plant is going full blast and has been since the first of the year, a fact that means millions to Montreal in salaries. Locomotives are also being re-built at Angus at considerable cost, Through its contracts for coach= es,, the Canada Car and Foundry and its employes are to benefit through the program of equipment improvement. This company in turn through 'its sub-contractors and through those that supply the raw materials benefits, and so do Montreal workers. Within a month activity will be and $3,000,000 | started by the National whieh will not end for five years, while the Canadian Pacific contribution to Montreal, through the location of | the Angus Shops. and the com- | | panies that contract for the C.P. | R., will yield millions Mont | real's workers. . TARIFF DISPUTES IN BRITISH AFRICA | Fresh Customs Barrier Rais-| ed Between Union and | Rhedesia KENYA AND UGANDA | Native Merchants of Ugan-, da Oppose White Kenya | | Planters London--There has recently been in _gvidence a regrettable tendency towards disagreement on tariff mat- fers between neighboring British Af- rican States, writes a correspondent of the London Times Trade Supple- ment. Negotiations between the Union of South Africa and Southern Rhodesia regarding a renewal of the long-existing Customs Convention, of which Northern Rhodesia also forms part, came to an untimely end, with the result that a fresh Customs bar- rier will come into existence on Janu- ary 1 along the Limpopo. In East Africa Uganda is opposed to the pro- tective character which Kenya has been able to give to the joint Cus- toms tariff, and Tanganyika appears to be making common cause with Uganda. In January a Governors' Conference on Customs policy and railway rates was held in East Africa and the pgoceedings threatened a cer- tain livelihess. Each party naturally blames the other for the failure of the Union- Southern Rhodesia negotiations. Ac- tually there appears to be more in the matter than the admitted points of dispute. The political atmosphere in which the conference met, despite protestations of friendliness, was not entirely propitious to agreement. In Southern Rhodesia there had been a strong popular reaction agaihst the trade treaty between the Union and Germany, which automatically con- fers on Germany the benefits of any future preferential rebates that may be incorporated in the Union tariff, Damage to Business South African manufacturers and merchants are wholeheartedly oppos- ed to a breach which cannot fail to damage their 'market north of the Limpopo. One firm in the Union which employs a good deal of white labor has been sending 36,000 pairs of boots a year to Rhodesia free of duty, and if it has in future to get over a tariff which may amount to 30 or 40 per cent its power to compete with. footwear from overseas will be | native affected. In 1928 the Union exported manufactures worth £1,200,000 to the two Rhodesias, amounting to 60 per cent of the total, exports to South African manufactures, This trade, as well as the considerable re-exports of imported oversea 'manufactures and the transit trade through Union ports, is likely to suffer considerably unless wiser counsels prevail. Direct im- portation through Beira will be stim- ulated at the expense of Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, © The position is complicated by the attitude of the third partner, North- ern Rhodesia, which was not con- cerned in the abortive negotiations. The - Governor of that. Protectorate has lately outlined the possible courses of action in the event of the old convention heing finally broken up. - He hinted that the Protectorate could hardly dissociate its tariff po- liey from that-of the Colony, but said that it might be possible to come to some arrangement with the Union, Thewonly certainty is that unless the existing convention is maintained in force-until a mutually satisfactory re- vision can be arranged a period of considerable difficulty and interfer- ence with the internal trade of the sub-continent is approaching. Only fishers in troubled waters can view such a retrogressive state of affairs with equanimity. The difficulty that has arisen 1n ast Africa has quite a ffifferent ori- gin. Kenya and Uganda are in a Customs union with free trade be- tween them. Uganda receiving a share of Customs revenue collected by Kenya at the ocean port of entry for both territories, are, however, for from similar, In Kenya there is a strong uropean planter and farmer element which has succeeded in hav- ing protective duties levied on its chief products, and 'has also foulded railway rates in such a way that ex- ports of produce pay little, while im- ports pay a great deal. In Uganda, on the other hand, the unofficial non- elen Imost confined to importers, and ple naturally have 1 the protectionist ideas of the Kenya planters and farmers. They contend that the tar- iff and railway rates policy is de- signed solely in the interests of the European proddcer in Kenya. . They reject the conclusions reachde by the Kenya Tariff Committee that the re- tention of high protective duties on foodstuffs and building matérials and preferential railway rates on country produce are in the interest of East Africa as a whole. The Uganda Chamber of Commerce takes the view that the effect has been to reduce very considerably the buying power of the native, thus de- creasing the volume of trade and rev- enue. It considers that neither the railway nor the tariff should be used as a means of supporting fany local industry, but that each Government should, out of its ordinary revenue, subsidize such industries "as it con- siders worthy of support. Such a policy would, it is climed, do away with a great deal of friction between Kenya, Uganda ang Tangonyika. In the case of timber imported through Mombasa it is pointed out that the Customs duty of 30 per cent and the railway rates of 7s. 87 cents per 100 1b. add 103.4 per cent to the cost in Uganda compared with the landed cost at Mombasa. Other increases mentioned range from 47 per cent for soap to 193.8 per cent for sugar.

In the circumstances it seems better that an independent chairman should preside over the conference, prefer- ably someone from this country who would command general confidence, POETRY SHOWN T0 INTERPRET LIFE Recurrence of Themes in Human Drama Noted by Lecturer Montreal, Feb. 13.--It is a mistake to think that poetry requires a spe- cial gift on the part of the reader, of that it is something only the pri- vileged. can understand and cnjoy, Edward Davison, poet and critic, ob- served in the introduction of a lecture on "The Approach to Poetry," before the Montreal Women's Club in the Mount Royal Hotel Monday after- noon. He suggested a return to some of the older standards of pc ry, on the part of the reade went on to show how great ncerns itself with ideas, feel ti that are timeless rennial, jallads and folk songs which ex- pressed the mind and imag ginat people long before the art of print are nearer in substance, the lect considered, to the great poets of the past and' the best of those of today than to the miner poets. There 4 two kinds of lite he noted, that which springs 1 something, and the o comes from the aspiratioh to on « morg interested in life than in liter- ature for itself. Mr. Davison maintained that in all great poetry there is a recurrence of the things which make up the drama of human life, For example, he point- ed to Homer's "Iliad," which is full of ideas that after three thousand years, still mean much to people to- day. The domestic scene where Hec- tor says good-bye to Andromeda and their little son before going into battle was, no doubt, paralleled many times in the Great War, and it evokes the same feeling today as it did when it was written.
