Montreal, March l8th.-Mr. TeakIe,

Montreal, instead of Halifax would be
the starting point during the summer
season for the CompanV's recently estab-

service TO the West Indies and Brush
Honduras. This decision means that
the c. .. M. M. will maintain no less
than eleven distinct services out of Mont
real this year. Mr.. Teakle stated some
time ago that the West Indian service
would probably continue to be operated
during the summer with Halifax as the
home port, considering hat the longer
distance would interfere with the
regular three weeks schedule which
had been promised the cargo shippers.
Since the Inauguration of the SER

HOW ABOUT THE RETAILERY

II Is really astonishing how much
difference 1t makes whose OK Is gor-
ed, isn't t.?
The papers OF the big cities are now
filled with complaints OF the cancel
latlon of orders by the retailers OF the
smaller towns, they holding to the po-
sitlon that this IS an unwarranted in
Jury 10 the manufacturers. and some
even going so far as TO maintain that
merchant who cancels orders for
goods that he doesn't want IS no bet
ter than thief There has even
been talk OF an attempt to pass laws
preventing cancellation of orders this
in order to protect Tie poor, suffering
manufacturers.
But this sort OF propaganda fails TO
fool the average citizen, who knows
well the game that the manufacturers
have been playing for the past two
years and that they have been getting
the big end OF the high prices which
have prevailed II was the manufac-
turers who worked the popular
shortage" game, and they worked IL
principally at the expense OF the re-
taller. Maintaining exorbitant prices
until the last possible minute, and
claiming that there was shortage Z
OF goods In the market, even refusing
TO ship goods promptly In order, evil
IDENTITY to keep up the little game
These manufacturers finally found
themselves with an over supply Of
goods on their hands, and many OF
them were finally compelled 20 close
their mills on account Of having
large surplus stock on hand. Natur-
ally they were then very anxious TO
ship these goods out 10 the retailers
in order 60 keep the wheels OF indus
try moving" but the latter were hard
iy In position to take them in the
face OF a dropping market. and, as q
matter OF common self protection,
were Obliged 20 cancel many orders.
What did the manufacturers and
their friends. the big city papers, ex-
pect? After having worked the retail
ers and the buying public for two
years with this shortage game and
having finally come TO the end OF their
tether did they expect that the re-
tailers would take their goods OF
their hands. whether they could make
use OF them or not, and, at best. at
great loss to themselves, in order TO
protect the poor manufacturers?
II was bad enough for the retailers
when the wholesale prices dropped
suddenly, leaving them with a stock
OF high priced goods on their hands
without the manufacturers asking
them to refrain from cancellation %
orders for still more OF these high
priced goods in the face Of the falling
market Had the retailers failed 20
cancel orders under these circumstan-
cos they would have doing an inius
tice 10 themselves and 20 their custo-
mers Ono might be led TO believe
from the complaints OF the crime of
cancellation which we read IN The biz
dnillcs that Ii was the duty OF the re
callers to buy goods az the time and ~
the prices that the manufacturers
might Wish. no matter how great The
injury 90 the retailer. but we are not

FoRp AND THE JEWS

The controversy that is now in evi-
dence between Henry Ford and the
Jews OF the country is an unfortunate
one. It's an agitation that will ben
eft no one. Ii Mr.. Ford can start a
crusade against the Jews he can
start one against any other creed or
nationality.
Religious and racial fights are
out OF place in America. For that
reason, movements of the kind don't
go far; there are too many fair mind
ed people here.
Most people believe that the least
said on this subject by the Jews the
sooner the thing will be forgotten. A
counter movement will only serve to
advertise.

TO PROBE FARM PRICES.

Washington, June-Leaders in
Congress intend to take no chan
ces in their efforts to assist the
farmers of the country is eviden-
ced by the prompt passage
throuh the House of the measure
creating joint commission to in
vetigate the causes of the differ
ence paid to tillers of the soil for
their products and the price ulti-
mately paid for those products b.
the consumer.
The passage of the resolution,
said Representative Strong of
Kansas, was requested by the
congress of farm organizations
held here in the city of. Washing
on in April last. Representa-
tives efssixteen farm organization
met heresin conference. They
knew that the farmers were re-
ceiving Gully about 10 or 10 per
cent or The pricethat the SAmeri.-
can people are charged for their
commodities. They knew that
the prices of farm products had
been Debated, but that all suppl
les and materials that the farmer
buys were still carrying the war
price. They knew that credits
had been restricted to agriculture
that cattlemen were being sold
out, and the stock herds sacrific-
ed. They knew that cattle,
sheep, and hogs, corn and wheat
oats, cotton, butter, eggs, and
all farm produce which they were
being forced to sell at prices far
below the cost of production
were still being sold to the con-
sumner at prices they could not |
afford to pay, which robbed the
producers of the sympathy |
which would otherwise result in
protecting them from ruin.
