pends (first) on the word of some one
who saw the sire put to the dam, and

wourti like to
ask the hone gentleman one question.
He is asking that the stud books of the
United States be recognized in Can-
ada. Will the United States or do the
United States recognize Canadian stud
books to the same amount and degree.
Hon. Mr. CASGRA1N— I think I am
coming to that in a few minutes. The
American can import duty free an
animal registered in such reliable
foreign record as of right. The Can-
adianuan only do so after he has got
it recorded in the Canadian register.
This is the second salient 'difference
between the method adopted in the
two countries. Pedigreed stock, as we
all know, is imported for two 'Very
different purposes and by two classes
of persons interested in different ways.
Those ,who care. to inquire into the
matter can judge for themselves which
purpose the dute- free entry provisiofl
was most intended to help and what
interest is in fact most advantaged by
the system in vogue. Better beef
cattle, finer dairy cows and More en-
during horses are wanted, not in the
show rings, but on the farms. The
show ring is the place where what the
farmer wants is advertised. ' No one
can conceive of the farmer knowingly
supporting a 'system by which direct
import by him of stock he needs to
cross with and improve his halfbred
herd is made hard to him and by
which what stock is available through
importation by others is likely to be
either higher in price or poorer in
quality than it need be if fall effect
were given to the law.
No one would grudge free import
to those who breed pedigreed stock in
the country nor obJect to Government
keeping their stud and herd books for
them, but probably most people would
subscribe to the proposition that hav-
ing these things they should bY their
produce showethat they were breeding
as good stock for the price as any one
could import direct and duty free. If
they cannot show this, surely nO one
would support a protective system for
their benefit for the effect would be
that those who desired pedigreed stock
to cross with half -bred herds --and
they a.re the main support of the whole
agricultural industry ----would get worse
animals for their purposes and pay a
hig er price.
Now, in the most important breeds,
should an inteading importer apply to
know whether say the Percheron Stud
Book or the Durham Herd Book ie re-
cognized as reliable by thee Govern-
ment, he will be told by the Oormnittee
that it is not, and he will be invited te
register in the Canadian book for these
I will outbid my `American Cern-
petitor if the seller -will guarantee
duty free entry into Canada or if
he will guarantee to furnish allthe
documents required in Canada for
duty free entry in excess of those
required in the United States, or
if he will sell conditionally on my
obtaining free entry.
But these are points whieh he can-
not effectively raise at an auction. He
must be prepared to buy and take' his
chances of delay and of being refused
free entry. This he may do if he has
on hand funds sufficient. But if he
has only the same sum available as
his competitor bids, he must content
himself with buying an inferior animal.
Suppose he buys, and he must do so
before his case will be considered by
the committee, he cannot get them to
prenounee beforehand as .to whether
if he purchases such'and'such an ani-
mal, it would come in duty free. The
seller not being a British subject. resi-
dent i.n Canada, cannot delteer them
duty free. Even if he could he would
not do so for the same price as be
would take from an American buyer
for a straight sale. In a word, the
Canadian buyer must be irrevocably
committed as owner before he can as-
cettain whether he is to get -free entry
or pay dUty. 'IVieantime." his anitaal

If he buy direct from the breeder in

owner until by correspondence he has
made his course clear he may escape
some of the risks, but even then if lee
cannot secure free entry he has cer-
tain dangers before him, and in any
event is debarred from many of the
chances to ,make advantageous pur-
chases which are open to foreign buy-
ers.

That the law is not applied is clear.
Why it should not be applied has to be
explained. Why a private body exer-
cises part of the functioas of Govern-
ment cannot be satisfactorily explain-
ed. No part of a subject's rights
should be taken away from him by a
body not answerable to the electors
and which cannot through the courts
be compelled to perform the duties
assigned to it for the simple reason
that it is a private body and ca.nnot be
compelled to perform any more of the
duties than it chooses.
I brief review of the circumstances
suggests certain modificatipns as be
Ing imperatively necessary.
1. The Government should publish a
list of all foreign records which are
generally recbgnized as reliable, Re-
cord in these should entitle an animal
to free entry. There is no difficulty
In making such a list. The National
Record Committee have such a list
which they use as the basis of enter-
ing in their own books although' they
will not certify that the books they so
use are reliable within the meaning
of the Order in Council whea the in-
dividual importer wants to obtain free
entry. Even if they had not suole a
list, the list published by the United
States Government affords ,sufficlent
information.
2. No private body should have any-
thing to say as to the application of
the customs law to its compeeitors and
free entry should not dmenal in any
way on fecerding in any book kept in
Canada: , '
3. The Canadian stud and herd
books should be open to voluntary en-
try upon such terms as those who keep
them see fit. Their present system is
more exacting than is thought neces-
sary by many foreign. systems. Wheth-
er rightly or wrongly so, depends on
whether the book Is conceived to be a
record of breediog experiments or a
history of title.
As a voluntary`matter there would
be no objection to their following
either theory, it is only when they
seek to impose their system on others
who do not need it that their theories
ineerfere with the rights of others and
thereby become of any public import-
ance.
If as a result of the voluntary appli-
cation of their present system- of title
and so called identification they pro-
duce a still better stock for the money
than can be procured- aeroad, the
country will have reason to congratu-
late itself.— That they hope to do so
