AntipoIIution a speedup

The District Commissioners should
have no difiiculty In convincing Congress
Of the need for speeding up work on addi-
tional sewage e-treatment facilities at Blue

gress should be willing to co-operate,
therefore, In authorizing every feasible
proposal for reducing the pollution which
has made the river menace to health
and unsuitable for swimming and some
other water sports.
It IS gratifying to learn that the
Commissioners have found way TO ex-
pedite completion of the expansion pro-
gram which has been under way at Blue
Plains Only primary treatment Is being
given the sewage at the present plant.
This means that the efiiient dumped into

Hoffman. who played q large
part In the Eisenhower 1852
campaign. Indeed, the amount
Of talk about the Presidents
brother as an understudy for
the President himself Is almaz-

here. How President Eisen-
hover himself would feel about
having his brother succeed
him in the White House Is
anybody,s guess. That he
would encourage his brothers
candidacy or seek to use in
fiuence to bring him the
nomination Is not creditahle.

often lead to unnecessary mig

potentially harmful notions
exist with respect to the trade
relations between the United
States and Canada. They
should be cleared away.
Here are some useful facts
to keep IN mind when our
trade with Canada Is dis
cussed
United States duties on Inn
ports from Canada are much
lower than Canadian duties
on our exports to that coun-
try. IN 1853 our average duty
on dutiabie Imports from
Canada was "a per cent. The
corresponding Canadian aver
age duty on imports from US
was l0.2 per cent. At the same
time 58.3 per cent of our in-
ports from Canada, Or well
over hall, paid no duty at all.
while only 400 per cent Of our
exports to Canada were free Of
duty. The general notion seems
to be quite the other way
around.
A great to-do was made over
our duty increase on imported
bicycles from 7A per cent to
l1M per cent and from is per
cent to 22ls per cent. Canada
recently raised the duty on
room air conditioning units
from Z Is per cent to 22is per
cent and nothing Was said
about it. Apparently Canada
does not bother with the pro-
cedures Of an escape clause.
