VANCOUVER, August 25. Commenting on the raising of the New Zealand tariff on Canadian motor ears, the "Vancouver Sun" states in an editorial that: "The first sheaves in Canada's election harvest weregarnered in last week when New Zealand peremptorily cut off the tariff preference she has maintained on Canadian automobiles and spare parts, and discussed the dropping of further preference on British Columbia lumber and newsprint.

'•'This means that Canada's £2,400,000 annual trade with New Zealand in motor cars and "parts will be materially decreased, and that any hope of expanding British Columbia's market for her (jpood products in New Zealand might just as well be forgotten.

'■'The Canadian people are paying a high price for their whimsical notion of electing Mr. K. B. Bennett as Prime Minister of Canada. This New Zealand slap at Canadian trade should give Canadians something to think about. It most certainly will injure Canadian trade to the extent of creating many mora hungry mouths in the Dominion next winter. "Of course, Mr. Bennett, who is spending his own millions, will not go hungry, but the factory workers down in Ontario and the lumber and newsprint employees in British Columbia have not those millions to play with, and some of them will go hungry. "Mr. Bennett was elected on the specious promise of ending unemployment by Act of Parliament, yet the first gj consequence of the election is an act s that will take jobs from Canadian workers and make food more difficult to buy for Canadian mouths. Canada's election harvest is beginning to look like a sad, sad crop."
