GADSIY B Ottawa, Nay 12. -The groundwork PERSON of debate this seesiou is the High Cost of Living. Directly or iodlre:lay: by resolution or otherwise, the Borden Government is under continuous critl• clam foe its cruel mismanagement of the food problem. And it isn't only the Liberals who do the criticising. Some of the staunchest Couservatives get hot under the collar when this question is broached. F,tltr instance, nobody would accuse W. F. Uockshutt, of Brantford. ex - president of the Cookehutt Plow Com- pany, 01 not being • strong party moo. He is known far and wide as • paidl stalwart ADd be 1s being mentioned right now as one of the next batch of lienston to be appointed by the Gov- ernment. And yet Mr. (3ockshutt blew up tbe other night. It was the delicate tact of Mr. ('soth- ers that touched off the fuse. The Minister of Labor breathed the word "plows," when Mr. Cockshutt was talking about prioes, and Mr. Cock. 'Mutt went up lo the sir. He dis- claimed ie claiwed having anything to do with the prion of plows for the last twenty years, after which be proceeded to speak right out in meeting. He mid that Parliament should look after the workingmen, that the time for *hilly - 'bellying had gone by and that there must be a food dictator for Canada, as there was in other belligerent coun- tries. He did not, however, mention Mr. Elevens. Mr. Cookshutt declared that if $1.50 to $'L00 was a fair price for wheat in ordinary times, if $2 00I was a fair price for potatoes. ar 35 or 40 emote a pound was a fair price for bus- ter. or 25 cents • falr prow for obeeps. It was no hardship on the farmer for this or any other Government to say that beyond these prices, owing to tbe exigencies of war, they cannot at the present time go. This strong gospel suffered no dilu- tion at the hands of A. K. Maclean, of Halifax, who stated that it was an undisputed fact that hundreds of thousands of people in Canada were living on or below tbe poverty line. With wages in general advanced only two per cent., food prices up forty-five per cent. and the purchasing power of the dollar shrunk to sixty coatis, the workingman was many times worse off than he wee before the war. He had cove round, with some reluct- ance, be admitted. to the opinion that he Government ought to fix prices, rim the flour Mills, if neceseary, eco- trdl transportation and regulate ex- port. When Mr. Maclean was told that Bir George Foster had gone to Wash - legion to confer on that very subject - international food regulation -he re- plied sharply that Sir George Foster would never have gone at all but for the fact that the British commission had invited him. Besides, conferring wail one of the Government's devices for stringing things along. What • hungry people wanted was lees confer- ring and more action. All these remarks were apropns of a resolution to consider the abnormal increase in the price of flour which was introduced byKyte of Richmond, N.S. Mr. Kyte Pathat the wild spec- ulation in wheat which took place last week, accompanied by a sharp advance io the price of flour, was due to the millers exploiting the Winnipeg grain market as • means of squeezing an- other profit out of the public. 'I'be flour, he said, which the miller@ were selling, for fifteen dollars • barrel was made from wheat which the millers had had on hand for many months and consequently the present price of flour had no basis in the present price of wbeet. Furthermore, Mr. Kyte stated that the millers had enough cheap wheat on hand to pro- videflour for months 10 come and that there was absolutely no excuse for the swollen prices they were asking for flour. Getting right down to cases, Mr. Kyte asked why • Government. which could fix the price of newsprint, paper for fear of the newspapers. could not regulate the price of flour for love of the people at large. The remedy he suggested was that the Government oommsodesr all the wheat not now in the hands of the farmers. They had talked about it a year ago and not long- er then a few weeks ago had been suggesting the prices at which the wheat might be sold to the British Government. Was it too much to oak that the Borden Government should bestir itself on behalf of the Canadian people in general f Mr. Kyte demanded that the Gov- ernment eliminate the speculative le- nient from prices and that people their flour for actual cost of thewh , received by the farmer. plus' milli g, transportation and a reasonable profit for the miller. Mr. Kyte contrasted this neglect of the people's interests with the Borden Government's tenderness towards cap- ital in its Business Profits War Tax. He characterized the tax of 50 per cent. on profits over 15 per cent. and of 76 per cent. on profits over 20 per cent. as a great bluff. No doubt it had been arrived at after a careful canvass- ing of what kind of tax would hurt the fewest rich friends of the Borden Government. He quoted some inter- esting comparisons between Canada's love taps in the way of taxes, and the way Australis gets after the profiteers. For instance, Stanfield. Limited --the Conservative whip's woollen company -which made 141 per cent. in 1918, paid that year as • war tax to the Dklmtnion Treasury $54,344, if StanHelds Limited had been in Australia it would have paid on the same amount of hnsinesa $142,- 907 Into the public treasury. Similarity the Consolidated Rubber Company paid 11164,3tf7 in taxes in 1916, which, in Australia, would have been $483,760. Dominion Canners was another con- spjevon. example -the Canadian tax en this Company's business in 1916 was $99,125. in Australia It would have been $273,426. Mpe•king of the speculators and manipulators who wear the white flswr of a •bameles. lite, Alphonse Verville, of Maisonnenve, the Labor member, contributed s few illumin- atingremarks on the high east of liv- ing from the workingman's point of view. Mr. Verville considered it • shame and s scandal that the emit of living, which had risen only twelve per mos. in Australl•, heel been el- ,. . Orders carefully attended to at all boors. night or day.

He also laughed at backyard Cultivation, va- cant r cant lot tillage and other philanthropic suggestions unless the Govern anent handled the matter, which it. might do by appropriating for use the unoccu- pied real estate subdivisions in the neighborhood of cities which now grow nothing but grass and vacant lots. How, he asked pertinently, could the poor man afford to p$y $4 a bag for potatoes for seeding. If he tilled an acre of potatoes he would have to pay out $40, and if a frost came b would be thnt much money out. Mr. Verville stated that what • man made by the day wee not the ques- tion, hut what he got in a year.
