‘eed ABBOTSFORD, SUMAS_AND MATSQUI NEWS Finest Quality Reasonably Priced ‘SALADA TEA “Fresh from 616 the Gardens” ; keen Price NS) Introduction of a uniform price system throughout Canada as a means of distributing whatever benefits result from protective tariffs and of equal- izing production costs, was advocated by J. D. McKenna, St. John, N.B., publisher, in a recent submission to Nova Scotia's economic situation. Urging equalization of wholesale prices of all protected goods manufac- tured in this country, Mr. McKenna contended that Montreal and Toronto virtually monopolized whatever benefits resulted from protective tariffs. Eighty-five per cent. of manufactured goods came out of Ontario and Que- bec, he said, and, because costs of the imposed by governments, provincial and federal, it followed that people of other provinces purchasing those goods, had to “pa: taxes but theirs as well—and that comes to a pile of money.” His scheme to equalize costs and to standardize prices throughout the country, involves absorption by maufacturers of freight charges, a process with which many in Western Canada would be prone to agree. McKenna claimed, would permit. manufacturers to place their products on the market at a uniform price—the same in Halifax, Regina and Vancouver Press despatches note that at the close of his| presentation, Mr. McKenna was complimented by Prof. John Harry Jones, | of Leeds University, England, who, noted as an economist, is chairman of as in Toronto and Montreal. the commission. The contentions and proposals of Mr. McKenna are by no means new to Western Canada. Least of all are they new to a certain small group of it which, for two years or more, has quietly been conducting inquiries along similar lines, with a view eventually of Sponsoring a plan which might be adopted as a “Western Policy”. group has concentrated its attention upon the price structure, seeking to| Sleep all night—thanks to Kruschen’s determine what inequities exist with it, noting more particularly the effect: ystem Advocated the royal commission investigating finished articles included all the taxes y not only their own This, Mr. | This | 3 | upon it and upon the purchasing power of the prairie provinces of freight, | tariff and taxation costs.

Hence came the attack upon prices.

This system, it was contended, placed the! West under toll both at home and in the East. | It was felt, therefore, that, inasmuch as these advantages were accord- ed the manufacturing areas of the East, there should be some compensatory factor, some method of distributing benefits, to all parts of Canada in the! price structure. That is to say, while goods might cost a little more in the area of their manufacture, they would cost a little less in the area of their | consumption. And inasmuch as the principle already is applied in the case | of nationally-priced products, the proposition at first sight appears fair and just. The West will watch eastern reactions to the proposal made by Mr. | McKenna, wi ith considerable interest. z: | Border Cuts Off Hospital Free State Board Has To Cross Line To Inspect It Derry Port sanitary board has just held a remarkable meeting, the mem- bers leaving Northern Ireland to. go into the Free State to deal with the business for which the meeting was summoned, The board crossed the border in taxis to inspect its hospital at Bally- rattan, near Moville, in County Done- gal, a hospital which has never had @ patient since its opening thirteen years ago. It was built to deal with cases of infectious disease on vessels coming to Derry, but before its com- pletion, the border had been created, with the result that the board was left on one side of the border and the hospital on the other. No solution of the situation has ever been devised and the board de- cided to effect repairs to the institu- tion, the chairman remarking that “the present state of affairs cannot go on forever."

Platinum needles, electrically heat- ed, punctured the eye 20 times in the course of the skilful surgery which regained for Mrs. Westwood Sayre 75 per cent. normal vision. She lost the sight of one eye in June as she returned to her home from her flower garden. The other eye was not affected. A noted Mem- phis eye specialist said it was re- tinal detachment. Severing a muscle he turned the eyeball inward. Foreign fluid had accumulated behind the retina caus- ing it to bulge toward the centre of the eye. The retina is the curtain on the back of the inside of the eye on which images are focused and nerve sensations are transmitted to the brain. Blindness results if the retina is disturbed. On the outside and back of the eyeball is a fibro-muscular covering which controls the movements of the eye and keeps the eyeball in shape. From the outer edge of the fibro- muscular coating to the area under the bulging retina was a distance of one-eighth inch. A tiny fraction would be pierced, endangering both sight and loss of vitreous, the jelly- like substance that keeps the eye round. And Plug tobacco goes farther, because it lasts longer in your pipe.

Wheat Situation Hopeful Supply For 1934-35 More Closely Related To Probable Demand The crop year 1934-35 is commenc- ing with the general wheat situation not without its hopeful aspects, the Dominion bureau of statistics states.
