In the nature Of things, the West is pre-
destined to play a much larger part in
the economic life of Canada than it does
In that of the United States, and the
economic centre of gravity will be much
further west In Canada. This, II may
be pointed out incidentally. is an argu-
ment (for the Westerner) against any
inclination toward annexation to the
United States. since by such a policy the
economic superiority which the West is

Of Canada would be very greatly les

One Of the chief reasons why most
Of Westerners fail to appreciate the pre-
dominance which the West Is destined to
hold In the affairs Of the country Is the
lack Of the habit Of studying the map
Of Canada on one sheet. The average
Canadian studies maps of the thicsly
settled portion Of the province OF On
tario. and perhaps also of the southern
part Of Quebec. on a large scale, and
other maps on very much smaller scale
Of the Western provinces, and he there
fore fails to see the whole country In
proper proportion and to realize the ex-
treme thinness of the area of settlement
and economic development In the East
ern provinces. and the much greater
depth In the direction of north and south
that is attained in the West
The fact is that soil and climate alike
have conspired to squeeze Eastern Cam
ada into very narrow strip between the
United States boundary, or the water
ways through which that boundary runs.

Central Aguirre will prJbably start
December 9th, according to Mr.. Carpen-
ter, he general manager. although he
said tina the dateWould not he definitely
fixed until after his return TO Aguirre.
The time of o%vening the season at
Mercedita will depend very largely on
when the sugar boilers arrive. If the
boilers are able to. sail from New York on
Saturday, the central will open its season
the first week intDecen4ber, bul if the
boilers are nor able to sail the opening
will be delayed. Cuanica Centraie is also
planning to start grinding during the
frs week in December but the actual
day, it is said, hasa1ot yet been defnitely
fixed. Neither FIJI. Maxwell, general
manager, nor T D. Boyd, the superin-
tendenr, are now in the island. Origin
ally it was %plaunedeto start grinding just
before The holiday time, but view of
the shortage in sugar, the opening date

SUGAR MEN FAVOR FREE MARKET
FOR NEW CROP

Sugar producers who gathered yester-
dag at the offices of the Sugar Pro-
ducers Association took no official ac~
ton on the question of whether there
should be governmental control of the
coming sugar crop.
This does not mean however, teat the
producers present Tere not in favor of a
free market. But after discussing this
question from 70 o'clock in the morning
until almost 2 O'Clock in the afternoon the
idea seen cd % prevail that il woUld be
~inadvisable for the producers here to
take any stanu in the matter and for
this reason no official action was recorded.
1t may be said, boweve that the grow
ers were unanimously in favor of an I'M
restricted market.
Ramon Alloy Benitez, President cf the
Producers association, explained to the
association that he did not appear at
Washington as a witness in the recent
sugar investigation because he was not
informed al the investigation until after
it was co npleted.
The association appointed a committee
to m ct with the board Of equalization
and take u0 with that body the question
of arriving at an equitable assessment Of
sugar properties for the coming year.
