The motorist stopped, got out
and examined the back of the

rified that the policeman was ac-
tually moved with sympathy.
"Well, mister, it's bad," said
the cop, "but not that bad."

We had the Canadian Fara),
Loan^ Board under review last
week. The .minister brought in .a
resolution asking parliament to
raise the capital amount from
three million dollars to four
mdllign,
As the minister explained,
this was necessary because of
the accelerated rate of lending
in the past year or so. There was
no objection to this increase
from any source,,but much corn-
plaint
onn
plaint was made from nearly
all quarters of the House with
respect to. the very limited way
in which the act was being .ad-
ministrated.
It was pointed out to the mi-
nister and the government that
farmers were not getting the
consideration they deserved with
respect to loans. The act reads.
that a farmer is entitled to re-
ceive up to 65% of value, but as
I myself pointed out, farmers
were not able to, get anywhere
near the amount.
'Some wanted the ceiling raised
to SO' , but my contention is
that it doesn't matter so much
the raising of the percentage, if
the farmer was able to realize
up to 85%.
The trouble is the applicant
is up against the judgement of
the appraiser. He doesn't always
agree with the applicant, but
places his own valuation on the
farm. I suggested to the minis-
ter to set up a tribunal to work
in some cases, This would give
the applicant at least a fair es-
stimate of the value of ht's farm.
Farmers find themselves in
rather a tough spot with respect
to money in the last three or
four years, and it is getting
worse. As the resolution proves,
they need more money. •
Because the government is
in the lending field, farmers are
no longer able to borrow money
from private lenders. ,When a
firmer goes to a private lender
he is told "why don't you go to
the Canadian Far m Loan
Board"?
You're Stuck
The result is that if you are
turned down by the board you
are stuck, and in. some cases
this is really a hardship, because
if you have a small mortgage

in most cases,, a month to get

I talk from experience. Where
an applicant was asking for a
loan of $2,500 on a hundred acres
of land with buildings and stock
.(not one-third the value) and was.
turned down, the excuse was
that the intake on the Ural
didn't justify giving ,the loan.
The real reason „the farmer
needed the' loan was to increase
the productivity of his farm. In
this case, however, this . man.
was asking for enough money to
pay off a $2,500 mortgage to keep.
him front being sold out. The
Farm Loan Board are much too
careful, . and if they intend to.
stay in the lending field, they
will have to be more generous
in some cases.
Spends One Million
How many of you read the
Gordon report? This was a Com-
mittee set up by the Govern-
ment to make a study of Cana-
da's
future progress. Up till
now this Committee has spent
over one million dollars, and
all we have received is a pre-
Iiminary report. The final re-
port is to come later.
I am going to relate some of
its findings dealing currently
with agriculture, and referring
to the great changes that have
taken place in Canadian agri-
culture since the end of the • last
war, which has meant a steady
increase in the physical volume
of output per farm, and per man
hour. The report refers to the
considerable , improvement i n
real earnings and the increase
in farm income, experienced
during the post-war years.
But no mention is made of
the fact that a nortion of this
increase is, in effect. a return
on capital invested in modern
agricultural machinery, a n d
may I add, in the greater use
of fertilizers,herbicides, for
weed control so necessary in
this day and age. These greater
outlays have not been mentioned.
in the Gordon report.' nor has it
referred to the fact that. the dol-
lar earned by the farmer in re-
cent years has declined in value
and purchasing power.
Proper Perspective
My contention is that if em-
phasis is to be placed on the
overall increase in farm income,
then it should be viewed in its
profiler perspective, and take
into account all related factors.
Strange to say, the reportgoet
on to say that the growth of Ca--
ada's population, coupled with
rising costs and incomes, will
have decided impact on the pat- .tries.
tern of agricultural production.
with some at any rate,. to again
vote; the Government back into
power.
Farmers have been the "for-
gotten man.” In fact they are
the only people who have not
shared the buoyant ,prosperity
of the country as a whole, and
if it had been any other group.
except the farmer, something
would have been done about it
long ago.
Still Keep control
The other day there was an-
other very interesting resolu-
tion brought before the House.
It was brought in by the finance
minister to introduce a measure
to pay full tax rates on all gov-
ernment properties. This, I am
sure, will be good news, for
;many municipalities.
The catch is that the.govern-
ment reserves the right to set
the valuation on the properties.
Strange how much consideration
is being given to the municipal-
ities at this particular time by
the government. To me it looks
like a guilty .conscience, '
Just to prpve my point, in
1939 the municipalities were get-
ting 39% of the tax dollar, prov-
ince 26%, federal 35%, In the
year 1949, -ten years later the
municipalities were getting 30^,0
of the tax dollar, province 22%
and the federal 48%. Last year
1956, the municipalities were only
getting 1155, province 12% and
the federal government 77% of
every, tax dollar.
Now we 'find the government
bragging about being so gener-
ous with the municipalities by
giving them back what really
was their own money in the first
place.
I placed' these figures on Han-
sard a little over a week ago,
when the finance minister was
directing a resolution through
the House to bring in a Bill to
increase grants to municipalities.
At 1,he time no one challenged
them.ad theynot ben true
e
someone would have spoken
against them.
In Toronto last week, at a
convention of the municipalities,
the finance minister, who was
the guest speaker, tried to talk.
around the figures I used, but
by andlarge he didn't change
them to any extent, the only
difference being that he quoted
figures of 53-54 instead of 56,
and stated that the Federal Gov-
ernment was only receiving
71%.
I stated' in .the House that if
this trendcontinued for another
ten or 15 years, Ottawa would
have full control of all the fi-
nances of Canada, and the mun-
icipalities and the provinces
would have to come to the fed-
eral government before they
could do anything.
In other words, we are drift-
ing into a dictatorial state, and
that may I add, has always led
to communism in other coun-
But, aside from this increased
domestic demand, it forsees
little likelihood that external
demands for Canadian agricul-
tural production vgi11 inc):ease
materially in the next 25 years.
In other words, this means.
Canada is going to change from
an exporting to an importing
country. As growth develops
farmers will receive less and less
consideration. In fact it has al-
ready happened.
Take eggs, for instance. Last
year we imported 3,500,000 cases
of eggs in eleven months at a
value of $261,469.00 at a time
whenour egg producers were
not getting enough for eggs to
pay for the feed. Everyone
wondered what was wrong with
the egg market. The same thing
happens in a great many more
things the farmer produces.
Farm income has 'gone down
and down in the past four years
and no action was taken by the
Government to correct the situ-
ation. Now, however, just be-
fore an election is called, we
hear hints with respect to as-
sistance to sagging farm in-
come. Four years late but never -

WHAT IS IT?' Twin -Traction Differential' gives you new pavement -gripping
traction and new safe control impossible with conventional differentials. The
secret lies in the fact that the Twin -Traction Differential delivers the major 'part
of the engine's'power to the rear wheel with the best traction—instead of the
wheel with the poorest traction (as in a conventional differential)': The result—
roadability that's better in six important ways:
1. In ice, snow or mttd, Thin Traction gets
you out of spots where cars with conventional.
differentials would "spin their wheels."
2. In highway driving, it protects against
skids that might otherwise occur when one rear
Wheel hits a slippery spot,
3. Or sharp turns, it improves roadability
by applying the major driving force to the inside
rear wheel.This also tends to compensate dor
ovetstcering,
4. On rough or washboard roads, it re-
duces the rear -end bounce, sidesway or swerve
which results from a fast-spining wheel sud.
denly hitting the pavement again,
5. When one rear wheel goes of the pave.
ment onto a soft shoulder, Twin Traction directs
the driving force to the other rear wheel,
assuring safe, positive control.
6. In ordinary driving, Twin 'Traction cuts
tire wear by assuring more positive traction.
