It counâ€" New trade agreements with Ger- many, Russia, Holland and' Switzer- land, such as Hon. W. D. Euler is said to hlave tentatively negotiated, are bound to add a little to this ris- ing- trend of Canada’s external trade. There are those who belittle the im- portance of such commerce, but inâ€" ternal prosperity has always coin- cided pretty closely with ca. healthy volume of international trade so far. (Manitoba’s Drought) Manitoba has a drought problem too, though not so extensive. It is meeting with the attention of the federal government also. ed prices or whlat, Canada’s externall trade is showing a great 'come-’ back’. The value of July- exports was the best since 1929, and ran at the mate of nearly a billion dollars a year. In fact, in the past twelve months Canada’s total trade has been in the neighborhood of $1,500,000,000. That’s a big improvement. In every budget since the Ottawa conference Canada has lowered dut- ies against Britain. That she will again do so in the 1937 budget is virtually assured. It may be that by giving signs that she is willing to pay a little more for a continuation of the lagreement, than she was to get it in the first place, she may be able to retain the' benefits of a free market in- Britain. This, with a ris- ing tide of agricultunal nationalism in Britain, would be a major achieve- ment. Whatever the explanation, wheth- er it be improving business, increas- (Longer Breathing Space) If Britain does denounce the agree- ment, the betting here is that she won’t give notice until after the cor- onation in May. That would give Canada a little longer breathing space in which to come to terms with Britain. These things are secrets of state. iBut my own guess is that Canada lwill be prepared to make fairly ex- ‘tensive concessions to Britain to fe- tain the present free market she en- joys for her major products. This does not necessarily mean that Britain will maintain her high duties against Canada’s competitors. The present government is more in- clined to be satisfied With free entry for Canadian goods. So that, by mu- tual consent, it is possible that the agreements will be varied to allow the Argentine and Denmark to es- cape some of the present duties a- gainst their goods. Britain is con- cluding a new agreement with the Argentine, and it is quite likely thiat it will be negotiated with this possi- bility in mind. Britain is much more likely to give notice next February that she term- inyates the agreement with Canada. But there is no certainty about this. So far she has not intimated whether she will or not. Canada. took the pre- caution to send Hon. Chlarles Dunning over to London months before any action was pending, so that if any adjustment Canada can make will prevent the repudiation of the agree- ment, this can be done in time to keep the agreement alive. Of course there is no likelihood‘ of I w Canada serving notice next February N that she wants the agreements terâ€"Ipu minated in August. It is true there'itr: were features of the agreementsIaf which the Liberals denounced. Butl"?l now it is pretty clear that the Ott- 1w] awa p'act gave Canada a good deal‘ 0 more from Britain than she gaveiho Britain. ; g0 One of its first acts was to con- clude the trade agreement with the United States. A second was to exâ€" change notes with Japan, bringing a tariff war to an end. Later there were agreements with Haiti, Brazil, Poland, New Zelaland, Uraquay. This summer Canada had’ “three travelling salesmen” overseas, on a similar mission. Now they are back, and the government is discussing the deals they made while they were away, which must, of course, be rati- .fied before they take effect. The Ottawa agreements, which gave Canada free entry plus tariff preferences for many products, were signed in August 1932, (and were for five 'y-ears certain. But they do not automatically terminate in August, 1937. There is a provision that if either country gives six months not- ice they terminate after five years. But if neither country denounces them in this way they c0ntinue inâ€" definitely, until six months after a notice is given. Messrs. Dunning and Gardiner were exploring the British market, which always ranks first or second (sometimes one, sometimes the oth- er) among- Canada’s external mar- kets. (Ottawa Agreement May Continue) By Wilfrid Eggleston Ottawa, Sept. 8.â€"Externla.1 mark- ets for Canadian products is a matter about which the present government is giving a great deal of time and attention. Ottawa Spotlight The School is Trustee for the child, Trustee to the parents, to the State, to the Future. England and Wales learned long ago the wastefulness of trying to teach spelling or geog- iraphy to children who had had no threakfast. Last year School Boards )provided nearly seventy millions of meals to more than four hundred thousand English children. But these two duties, doing no harm, aad patching up defects, are both negative, and do not glimpse the fine Vision of body and mind de- veloping in harmony. To think of health as a mere absence of illness or defect or crippling or starvation is a very poor conception. Health should be a positive, radiant, physi- cal glory. What are we doing for the boys and girls who are not handi- capped? What are we doing for all boys and girls as normal average boys and girls? So we who are superintendents or trustees_ or teachers must first of all see that children are not harmed, not harmed much, by the school and sec- ondly, we must'watch and .care that children are not neglected in their homes, but have a decent break. 1y with routine forms and useless processes? Has the school not a duty to see that the raw material is suitable or is made suitable? The School is much more than a factory. It is the second parent of the child and should step in when real parâ€" ents fall down on their job. But I hear you protesting, Mr. Trustee, Mr. Principal, and Miss Teacher, that such things as these are up to the parents. Of course they arFif the parents are doing their job, or can do it. But what if they are ignorant, or careless, or penniless, or all three? Must the children to the third» generation suf- fer for the sins of the parents? 01‘ the misfortunes of the parents? Or the wrongs of the school system the parents suffer under? The School is a state factory to make Child-Tawâ€" material into citizens. If the raw material is faulty, must the man- «ager, the teacher, the trustee, sim- ply say nothing, but go on hopeless- Well, then, the first principle is to do no harm, to send out the child lat least without injury and without ;much disadvantage. For this little lchild who com-es to us trailing its gclouds of Glory from God who is lits home, the School must first of all be made safeâ€"sanitary, clean, decentâ€"safe. So far we have presumed that the child comes to school a good physi- cal Ianimal, well fed and clothed and cared for. What if this is not the case? What if he comes half-starv- ed, or half choked by tonsils and adenoids, or with neglected teeth troubling him now, and laying up diseases that cripple and kill in lab- er years? Do you know that con- scription showed just one-third of young Canadians fit to be soldiers, and two-thirds unfit, with defects and disability that could have been mostly prevented by thought and care in childhood? What about fatigue? I would like to have it enacted that each school trustee when he assumes office should put in a day 'at school. In the coun- try he might start off some time after seven-thirty with the school van, and get back near five-thirty, with 'a few chores and! homework to do. I’m sure he would slope the homework and go to bed. Work is good, but over-work is not. Play is good, but over-play is not. Fatigue kills health. What can we do to keep the good and cut out the evil? What can we report, school by'school, about gen- eral cleanness, cleanness of walls and floors, cleanness of toilets and water supplies and places to wash? What about infections and disinfections? What about lighting and ventilation? What about those fetters of the squirming little bodies, the desks? Are they as elastic as possible? Are the standards of the school in clean- liness and conveniences and sanita- tion the standards of good homes, or of not very good homes, or are they the standards of very poor homes, or are they the standards of very poor homes? Is the school levâ€" elling housing standards up, or lev- elling them down? HEALTH AND THE SCHOOL Can a school do harm? Of course it can, and of course it does. The artificial confinement of children in- to schools for the best third of their waking hours, under compulsion of the law and the truant officer may be necessaryâ€"I cannot, sayâ€"but even if necessary it is an evil. It is a necessary evil, that may some day, if we are open-minfsd, evolve into a necessary good, without the evil. A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES VICE OF MEDICAL I c: THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO 'COrnwall’s Tented City To be Largest in History Exhibitors’ Demands For Space Ne- cessitate Expanding Area ‘GASOLINE PADDOCK’ Further definite indications that the 24th annual International Plowâ€" ing Match and Farm Machinery Deâ€" monstration to be held at Cornwall, Ont., from Oct. 6 to 9 was to be “the biggest and best ever” were received this week by J. A. Carroll, Secre- tary-Manager of the Ontario Plow- men’s Association, in the form of an unprecedented number of applica- tions for exhibition space in the con- cession area. “This’ year’s ‘Tented Citv’. as the which have been carried out by the Central Experimental Farm at Ott- awa and tests will be made to deter- mine the varying amounts of horse- power required for implements of different types set in a variety of ways. L-and will be provided at a con- veni-ent location on which manufac- turers will demonstrate agricultural implements of every description and the “exercise paddock” for high- spirited but controllable tractors will ‘again be a feature of interest. Multipleâ€"hitch demonstrations, con- sisting of three to five horses work- ing in one team, properly hitched and driven, will be given each after- noon and the different operations ex- hibited by competent experts. W A Definite plans are still to be an- nounced, he said, for the scientific agricultural work which will be car- ried on at the match by Dr. Hopkins, but demonstrations have been ar- ranged for each day on land near the headquarters which will show the results of tillage investigations The plow demonstrations by exper- ienced match plowmen and capable demonstrators, will be conducted each day near the match headquarters. Differences between types of plows will be explained? and. plow settings will be discussed and. actually de- monstrated. This year will be the first time this feature has been in- cluded on the program of the Inter- national Match, Mr. Carroll pointed out. 0f the many new features being introduced at this year’s match which are expected to attract wide interest and attention, Mr. Carroll remarked, are the demonstrations to be given by ex-champion plowmen and Dr. E. S. Hopkins, chief of field husbandry for the Dominion Department of Agâ€" riculture. “This year’s ‘Tented City’, as the area is always known,” stated Mr. Carroll, “will house the largest and most complete exhibition of farm im- plements and equipment that has ever been assembled in Canada.” He said that the committee had found it necessary to revise the ground plan for the ‘Tented City’ so that it could readily be expanded to accommodate the many exhibitors who were applying for space. More than 30 industrial and agricultural organizations had been granted con- cessions, Mr. Carroll stated, as well as a great many to concessionaires whose chief concern- would be to see that the vast throng of 100,000 per- sons who will attend the match are well-fed.
