SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT
Castlegar and district have a lot to crow about

and lest our achievements go unappreciated,, we
hasten to do some crowing.

All three candidates now competing for the vote .

in the riding of Rossland-Trail are from Castlegar and
Kinnaird—two villages with a combined population
of perhaps 3,000; versus a Trai! population of 16,000
and Rossland of 5,000.

Not only that, but the riding of Kaslo-Slocan had
to come to Castlegar to get a Social: Credit candidate
—WM. E. Moran,

The, Castlegar Cubs softball team won the Sénior
A Title of the West: Kootenays..

: The athletes of the Stanley Humphries High
School agairi won the West: _{heotenay inter-schoo!
‘competition last ‘spring. 5

G. Craft, chairman of School Board No. 9, ‘is

. president of the West Kootenay School Trustees: As- .

socidtion.

W. T. Waidie cf Castlegar’ is president of the
Agsociated Boards of Trade.:and Chambers of,.Com-
merce. of Southeastern British Columbia, and J. M.

‘Macbeth, also of Castlegar,” is the organization’ ‘s

"Secretary.

The Kinnaird Civil ‘Defense “Team, under ‘the
able leadership of Steve“ Jankola, is recognized far
and wide as the best in southeastern B.C.

Ituis difficult to remember’ all the firsts and’ re-
cords run up by: cur small. communities, and. if. we
have forgotten any notable achievementsswe beg our
readers to bear. with us—or better, drop us a line so
that we may complete our roll. ‘

WHO. PAYS FOR TARIFFS?: *
: There is a wide-spread bel

fF, fostered’ by .manu-

“people argue that tariffs are. for everyone's. good.
Through, their lobbies.and spokesmen in legislatures
they! dre busy creating the impression that it is the
foreign manufacturer who bears the burden of high-
_ er protective. tariffs. 4

* This is a-picture far removed from reality.

High import tariffs on‘ certain goods never pro-
tect the nation as a whole—only the people who
make those’ particular. goods. Tariffs are designed to
raise the price of imported merchandise to the price
,of .similar. merchandise.. by native © manufacturers.
Whether. that ‘price is ‘warranted, or whether it could

be lowered through more’ efficient production meth-—

ods—that question’ is seldom ‘asked. -

The. result: of this attitude is that ‘the public, is
called upon. to. support many inefficient, profit-
~ hungry manufacturers.

That.some ‘of these manufacturers are not
“Canadian makes the “whole ° thing even’more absurd.
Consider the: case of the British versus ‘the German
_ cart. British cars pay no import duties, while thosé on
i) German Volkswagen are .about $300. This means,
“that. a’ British manufacturer can slap” on |an extra
$300. on a car worth $1300. and still ‘compete.

This is but..one,eéxaniple of many,.-but they: all
point to‘ the same conclusion: It is not: the foreign
‘competitor: who suffers from tariffs, -it -is the Cana-
dian’, buying public. °- .

‘This is’ not. to say that all ‘ta iffs, ‘across the

board, should be’ abolished. Young national industries Ee

often need a helping. hand, and goods préduced by
‘very large segments. of ‘the population—notably agri-
cultural, forest, and mining produgts—may be justi-
fied in receiving subsidies from thé rest, of the popu-
lation. There must also be a shield at.-hand-to guard

against. purposely ° malicious ‘dumping’ often: engaged

in by unfriendly nations.
But in each case where a tariff’is to be applied,

careful consideration, free from pressure, should be.

- given to the questiori whether more ‘efficient’ manu-

facturing methods could not lower the price. to that
of the foreign competition, or whether it might’ not
. be better to divert our own energies to products bet-
ter ‘suited to our abilities,-and let foreign trade _sup-

ply 9 particular-need entirely, thus giving the: nation.
the lowest possible prices, and the greatest possible,

benefits.
We must never forget that North “America

achiéved its high fiving standard not. by ' keeping”
foreign products out, but by manufacturing’, thosé -

goods faster and -cheaper.- than anyone “else, Let's
keep it that way. f 4
