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 Trail 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
—M. E. Moran,

The Castlegar Cubs softball ‘team won the Senior

School agairi won the West.’ Seofenay inter-school
“competition fast’ spring.
G. Craft, chairman of ‘School Board No. 9, ‘is

president of the West Kootenay School Trustees: As- .

sociation.

W. T. Waldie c# Castlegar is president of the
Associated’ Boards of Trade. and .Chambéers of, Com-
merce of Southeastern British Columbia, and:J. M.
_ Macbeth, also of Castlegar,

_ Secretary. :

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

It.is difficult to remembér’ all the firsts and’ re-
cords run up by cur small communities, and, if we
have forgotten any notable achievementsawe beg our

readers to bear. with us—or better, drop us a fine so-

that we may complete our roll:

WHO. PAYS FOR TARIFFS?

: . There isa wide-spread belief, fostered’ by manu-
. fdcturers and.. special-interest groups, that. import

get hgh ‘are there to protect. the nation against com-.

petition “by unégcrupulous, foreign salesmen, These
people: argue that tariffs are for everyone's. good.
Through, their lobbies. and spokesmen in legislatures
they: are busy creating the impression that it is the
foreign manufacturer who bears the burden of high-

_ er protective tartffs. ~

This is a picture far removed from reality.

High import iariffs 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 througiy 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-
shungry 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
_car?, British cars pay. no import duties, while thosé on
“a German Volkswagen ‘are about $300. This means.
that. a British. manufacturer can -slap onan extra
$300, ona car worth $1300 and still ‘compete.
> This is but one.exaniple of many,, but: they: all
‘point ‘to the same conclusion: it is not: the foreign
‘competitor: who, suffers from fontiey itis the Cana-
dian’, buying: “public. . Poe
ee This is not to’ say that all tariffs, across the

board, should be’ abolished. Young national industries we

often need .a helping. hand, and goods: ‘produced by
very. large segments. of ‘the population—notably agri-
cultural, forest, and mining products—may | be -justi-
fied in receiving subsidies from the 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't 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 a 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 living standard: not: ‘by ‘Keeping © :
foreign products out, but “by manufacturing’ those «

goods .faster and cheaper. than anyone ° “else. ‘Let's
-keep it that way. ~

‘The boatman shook his head,
“Never heard of it.”

“Then one half of your life
