many take the name of the Lord in

"The writer was immeasurably
pleased to read the pulpit comments

The resignation of Winston Spenser
Churchill from the British cabinet is
announced in many quarters. While
there is yet some doubt as to the
truth of the statement that he has re.
signed, there is no doubt but that the
British cabinet Is set against itself,
and a disagreement prevails. The
resignation of Churchill was rumored
even before the resignation of Carson
as Attorney General took place.

Critical Position
of Irish Trade

The critical position in which Irish
trade and commerce is now placed and
the increase Of imports over exports.
is one of the most serious matters
confronting the people Of Ireland at
the present time.
T. w. Russell, a member of Parlia-
ment, in a recent address delivered
under the auspices Of the Department
Of Agriculture in Belfast, reviewed the
situation in which Ireland was placed
at the present time regarding the
seriousness of the food supply and
the heavy burden Of imported food.
stuffs. Mr.. Russells speech was in
part as follows:
"1n a great commercial community
such as Belfast" he said, "the consid-
Grafton which would urge upon you
first and foremost is the present diff
cult, if not critical position Of our
trade and commerce. At the present
time the value of the goods we are
importing into the United Kingdom is
greater than the value of those we are
exporting by nearly G400,000,000 per
annum, or, to put it in another form,
our imports exceed our exports by
over s1,000,00O a day. The signif-
canoe of this fact needs no enforce
ment (applause). The connection be-
tween the financier and the farmer, or
between the American exchange and
the food production of Ireland may
not, however, be quite so clear. That
there is a connection needs but little
demonstration. The best, If not, in
deed, the only means, of restoring the
balance of trade in our favor and Of
raising the rate of exchange, thereby
Increasing the value of the British
sovereign, is to increase our exports
and diminish our imports (applause).
The function of the farmer is to pro-
duce food and to prevent or lessen the
dependence of the nation upon other
countries in this respect. He pro-
duces marketable commodity,
which can be used either for home
consumption or for export. If agri.
culture Is, as believe it to be, the
greatest of all the industries of the
United Kingdom, 1t is clear that the
work of the farmer has vital and
commanding influence upon the trade
and commerce and finances Of the
Kingdom. Ireland is pre-eminently an
agricultural country. Our chief in
dustry is not linen, is not ship-build.
ing, Is not whiskey. It is agriculture
Providence has endowed Ireland with
a soil and climate that many other
countries would fain possess. Is she
taking full advantage Of her great and
undoubted natural gifts? Can she speed
up her work at this crisis to such an
extent as will help to tilt the scales
in the right direction?"
Imports and Exports.
"As the Minister of the Crown
charged with the administration o1
the Irish Department of Agriculture
ought to be in peculiarly favorable
position to answer this question
Scarcely a decade has come and gone
since the figures of the imports and
exports at Irish ports were first com
piled. The estimated value of ou1
imports and exports in 1914 was e104,
250,000, and in 1918 it was 2147,560,

900. These figures tell their own story.
But If there is cause for congratula-
tion there is also, regret to say,
cause for regret. II we are essentially
a food-producing country is there any
justification for the fact that in the
three years ended 1913 we imported
into this island an annual average

grown articles? Here in a nutshell is
the Departments case for the food
production campaign" He then pro-
ceeded to analyse the huge and avoid
able importation into Ireland of food
stuffs from other countries, and con-
tinuing, said that in the extent to
which Ireland cultivates her arabic
land, she lags far behind Germany,
Hungary, Austria, European Russia,
Serbia, Belgium, Italy, France, Rou-
mania, Bulgaria, Luxemburg, Portugal
and Denmark. If Germany had titled
as little of her soil as Ireland does,
the war would probably have been over
six months ago. She was, however,
prepared in this as in other respects.
She tills 65 per cent of her arabic land,
whereas Ireland tills 16 per cent. In
Antrim, the speaker said, you plough
23.7 per cent Of your arabic land, in
Down you plough 33 per cent. As
regards tillage Down stands at the
head of all the Irish counties. Zap.
plause). It gives me the utmost plea
sure to state this fact. Derry comes
second with 80 per cent, and Louth
third with 81 per cent. The amount
Of arabic land titled in all Ireland is
16 per cent. Ulster tills Is per cent,
Lemster 16 per cent, and Munster and
Connaught IL per cent. Having dealt
with objections which had been raised
to tillage and disposed Of them, Mr..
Russell concluded: We must face
those grim realities that are ahead of
US. Even with the war successfully
ended, times will be bad enough. The
real duty Of those agriculturists who,
for one reason or another; cannot go
into the fighting line, is to till their
land so that it will produce the maxi
mum quantity of food. It should now
be the aim of each and every one of
us to eschew luxuries, to live the sim
pie life, and to save what money we
can for the rainy day which is bound
to come.
The following resolution was adopt
ed at the meeting:
'That this meeting of agriculturists
representing the counties of Antrim
and Down and adjoining districts, is
gravely impressed with the crisis
through which the country is passing,
and, especially in regard to the ques.
tion Of our food supplies, expresses it's
regret that so much Of the land in Ire
land has been allowed to pass out OF
cultivation in the past. It makes an
earnest appeal to the landed classes
Landlords, occupying owners, ten
ants, and laborers-so to use the land
that it may be made to produce a
greatly increased supply of food fol
man and beast; and is convinced that
they will thus perform the most pat
riotic duty open to them as class al
the present juncture.'
