Overcstimation Of the decline in

general price decline and unemploy-

change National Bank as one of the
prime reasons for reviving trade in

"The error between the esti-

arose from a failure to take into
account the fact that a decline in
prices corresponding to declining
wages and other income leaves the
purchasing power of the consuming
public about where it was It is
also true that declining prices in
crease the marginal purchasing
power of the steady income classes
and that these classes move into
the consumptive areas formerly oc-
cupied by the recipients of high
wages and profits. Further, it is
probable that the bulk of losses
growing out Of the decline in the
prices of farm products have been
sustained by second holders or by

MONTREAL, Que. April "A disouiet-
ing feature of new anti dumping and
Key industry proposals of British gov.
eminent is the absence of any provi
SION TOR preference for empire goods. Il
has been generally understood that
where tariffs were framed for any pur-
pose by British legislators preferen-
tlal provisions would be added to cover
imports from Canada and other do
minions. which allow preference to
British goods Thus, when duties were
placed on the importation of automo-
blies, clocks and watches, etc, during
war, subsequent rebates were granted to
imports of these goods from dominions.
Last year when Sir Auckland Gcddes
framed this anti dumping and KEY ia
dustries legislation. it was announced
1t would not apply against empire
goods. SO far there has been 10 an
nouncemcnt regarding new proposals,
and no provision has been made either
for preference or for exemption Tor
