Wheat and Prosperity Mr. Duncan Marshall, wno, incidentally, dropped the prefix "Hon." when he ceased to be minister of agriculture for the pro- vince of Alberta, is an eloquent speaker. Next to the Rt, Hon. R. B. Bennett, and possibly W. F. Nickle, former attorney- general, he can get more words out of his system per minute that any other public man we have ever heard. Thus he is able to enthuse his audience, who applaud him vociferously, and then go away, think things over later in the quiet of their homes and offices, and wonder what it was all about. This must have happened, we feel sure, with many of those who heard him at the meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club on Monday, when Mr. Marshall was the speaker. Mr. Marshall started in to speak about the Imperial Economic Conference. That was what he announced as his subject. Then he went on to quote some ancient history about the lifting of the cattle em- bargo, discussed the question of wheat farming versus mixed farming for the farmers of the west, the part which wheat had played in opening up the forest-lands of his native country of Bruce and the prairie provinces, and his ideas on the sub- ject of immigration. Then, suddenly remembering that he was supposed to be talking about the Imperial Economic Con- ference, he started in to show that. in his opinion, the agreements made would be of no benefit to the farmers of Canada, al- though he had prefaced his remarks with the declaration that nothing could be said of what would result from the conference until the agreements were tabled in the Canadian and British parliaments That, however, is by thé way. What we started out to say was that Mr. Marshall's remarks on the wheat situation were enlightening. He convinced his hearers that wheat was the crux of the economic position of Canada. Until world markets were secured for Canada's wheat, he point- ed out, this country would not know a return of real prosperity. With that we entirely agree. Canada has learned, in the last three years how dependent this coun- try is on the wheat grown on the prairie provinces. Hon. G. Howard Ferguson stressed this in opening the Oshawa Fair last week. Mr. Marshall said the same thing, only in different terms. . That is why those who are watching for the return of prosperity in Canada are not watching the stock markets, but are watch- ing the wheat markets. Canada must. dis- pose of two-thirds of her crops to outside consumers. We have been told, times without number, that Russia is out of the picture, that the United States surplus is only one-fifth of what it is normally, and that there is a world shortage of wheat, although Canada has a bumper crop. And, as we hear these things, we watch the Winnipeg wheat prices anxiously, watch- ing for a reflection of these conditions in the prices quoted for No. 1 Northern, At times, it has seemed to be "just around the corner", but then has come a recession back to old levels. . But, if Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Marshall, and the other "experts" are to be helived, that long-looked for jump in wheat prices is bound to come. How soon it will come no one can tell, although indications point to a break in the near future. Anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's. In fact, we might just as well take the word of a clairvoyant at the Oshawa Fair last week, who, when asked when wheat was going to be a dollar a bushel, cheerfully replied that that mark would be reached next spring. The point of Mr. Marshall's address, however, is that Canada needs world mar- kets, apart from Great Britain, to take care of her wheat surplus, Two months ago, Canada was looking to the Imperial conference to provide wider markets. Now she is looking to the world economic con- ference at Geneva next month. And the best thing that Mr. Marshall said was that he hoped the world economic conference would take the example of the Ottawa con- ference as its guide, and would remove the prohibitory restrictions on Canadian wheat which are now alone standing between this country and prosperity. With that hope, we associate ourselves sincerely, hecause in it lies the greatest factor for the coming betterment of conditions in this country. : Signs of Greatness One of the signs of greatness in public men is their willingness to make amends when they have erred, when they realize that they have made 'a mistake, Members of the Oshawa city council had an oppor- tunity of qualifying for the honor of being termed "great" on Monday night, when a motion was presented to reconsider the previous decision to deprive the Chamber of Commerce of $500 of the grant pledged to it. : It was a mistake to break this pledge to the Chamber of Commerce. Pledges of this kind should be regarded as solemn obligations, and fully lived up to as such. The city council erred in deciding to ignore it, and to cut off the grant on which the Chamber was depending. | On Monday night, the matter was again brought before the council. Obviously, some members realized a grave mistake had been made. They voted accordingly, and in favor of rescinding the bylaw. Others, however, were apparently deter- mined to stick to their former decision, right or wrong. Once given, their vote, apparently, was as unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and Persians. Perhaps they think it is a sign of weakness for a man to admit he has made a mistake, and to change his mind. This is where they take the wrong atti- tude. It is far better to come out openly, admit the error, and make amends. And this is what should have been done by the whole council in the matter of the grant: to the Chamber of Commerce. Bringing Indirect Benefits Another benefit, although indirect, is seen from the operation of the Oshawa harbor. Finding the coal transportation business slipping away, in favor of water- borné transportation, the railways have agreed to a substantial reduetion in the freight rates for coal and coke coming into Oshawa bv rail, This reduction is a natural consequence of the increase in the water shipments of coal and coke to this city, and it represents a very substantial saving to the fuel users of Oshawa. Thus the Chamber of Com- merce and the Oshawa Harbor, between them. have been the means of securing a ruling which, in the course of time, will mean that cecal and coke can be brought to Oshawa more cheaply. If this saving is passed on to the ultimate consumer, it will be worth while, but unfortunately there are occasions on which reductions of this kind are "absorbed" by the dealers or coal shirpers. and the general public feels little effect. May it be found possible to give the buying public the benefit of this de- they, in common with the of fuel, may secure their share vings which have been brought about by the existence of a harbor here. Editorial Notes Radio listeners who heard the broadcast crease so that large us: of the of the United States amateur golf cham- . pionship final said they were given the im- pression that Goodman was the only play- er in the match. But what did they ex- pect ? Soon, however, we will be having the broadcasts of the, world series, and since both teams will belong to the United States that 'difficulty will not exist for the an- nouncers. A despatch from London claims that Bri- tain is getting ready to return to the gold standard in the near future. But we doubt it. : : Only one more improvement is needed in traffic lights; a red, green and blue arm to reach out, pick up the pedestrians and Aleposit him on the other side of the street. --Ottawa Journal, | Other Editor's Comments THE CANADIAN RAILWAY PROBLEM (Providence Journal) If the Royal Commissio, has actually recom- mended that the Government should keep on op- erating the Canadian National system and, more- over, it" this recommendation should be accepted hy Parliament, it would not be especially surprising, No Go ernment ever worked harder to reorganize the operations of a railroad system, eliminating brinch lines, dispensing with extravagant services and otherwise economizing, than has the "Bennett Government since the Canadian National system's drain on the public treasury became so serious.
