Says the department "The distress of wheat growers IS

wheat crop which 726 million dollars compared with o|A

That equivalent to city having his wages re-

Farmers in 1928 got for their crops and meats about
fourth money than in 1914 But prices and costs d
about doubled So, figured in terms of prewar buying power

BURNS is OUT

To Attorney General Stones
credit should be placed the retire
ment of William J. Burns as chief
OF the department of Justices bu-
reau of investigation, and credit
given to the attorney general in
this connection is credit given also
to President Coolidge.
A weekly journal of opinion that
recently critized the president
rather bitterly as lacking utterly
IN the capacity for effective indig-
nation" and lin that fury for
righteousness in the face of open
and admitted evil which the Amer
lean people had a right to expect"
should observe the fact that Burns
is out.
Mr.. Coolidge's innate respect for
righteousness may not take the
form of fury at white heat but
both Daugherty and Burns arc out.
There is a new atmosphere in
the department Of justice.
The detective bureau of the de-
partment of justice will naturally
remain a detective bureau; it
could hardly function successfully
against criminals and crooks under
the auspices of Mr.. Vanderlip's new
research bureau or the American
Civil Liberties union.
But under the new regime, it
may be earnestly hoped that the
bureau of investigation will employ
no Castor B. Means as it's star in
vestigator, and will raise the ethics
OF the government detective sys-
tenn so that there will be no Official
burglars on the government pay
roll. no agents provOcateur," no
frameup specialists and no witch
hunting unit for the suppression of

Mistah .'Possum was a southern

said, all the birds came north in the

He had taken up his quarters in

down.
Daddy was curious about his

AT that minute they reached Mis-

"Mitser Bags, this is Mister Pos

LIyELIER POLITICS IN CANADA

Premier Mackenzie Kings sue
cess in uniting the Progressive
group with the Liberals in sup
port of the government policy OF
freer trade should tend to give 4
new interest to Canadian politics
The Progressives represent par
ticularly the freer trade demand of
the Canadian west. In the last
general election they eliminated
the Conservatives from the three
prairie provinces. They verv near
ly did the same thing for the Lib
eral Party.
Saskatchewan, that is, sent only
one Liberal, while but two We're
elected in Winnipeg with one La
Dor representative Calgary also
elected Labor representative and
an Independent with equally radi
Cal views.
Otherwise the prairie provinces
are represented in the federal
house entirely by Progressive
members. There are Progressives
too, from most Of the other pro-
vinces, and this Progressive leavcn
has undoubtedly helped to liven up
the Liberal Party.
In the conclusion of an able
speech at the closing of the budget
debate, the Dominion prime min
ister held out hope of still more
progress to be made following up
or this years steps toward freer
t,ade. when he declared that the
government had not yet finished its
work
I'VE have lot more to do" he
added, 1--WE have only started upon
what we hope to be able to do for
this country
Since the Liberal Administration
took office,a conservative element
in the party has tended to retara
forward movement. But in recent
months some Of the conservatives
on the Liberal side have withdrawn
from association with the govern
ment. Others may go, as the Lib
eral policy is developed.
Far from weakening the admin
istration. however, such resigna
tons should tend to streng then it !;
the gain of closer union with the
Progressive forces means more to
the Prime Minister than the appar-
ent loss due to the withdrawals of
some members who have hitherto
called themselves Liberal.
The government has to reckon
with the possibility of an alignment
Of vested interests behind the Con-
servative Party. 1t has been the
traditional policy of business or
CARNATIONS in Canada, however, to
keep out of active politics.
Some interests have supported
beta parties more or less impair
tally. During the election cam
paign on the reciprocity treaty of
1911 there seemed to be a tendency
among vested interests to unite
against the Liberal policy, but ex-
perience since has given many Ca
madam business men cause to doubt
the wisdom Of that negative vote.
A policy of negation in another
general election in Canada would
be about as likely to succeed as
the policy of tranquility" did in
Great Britain last year. 1t would
last about as long. The Canadian
people want action. and the gov
ernment's Liberal policy this ses-
sion is simply response to the
pressure of public opinion.
